Deeper Fulfillment
Through a Career in the Healing Arts
There are few things in life as rewarding as having meaningful work that is seamlessly congruent with your highest ideals. A career that allows you to express and remain true to your deepest values provides an ongoing arena for creativity, personal growth and spiritual development while engaged in the day to day activity of earning a living.
Many people find themselves frustrated in work situations that are inharmonious with the deeper calling of their soul . Feeling obligated to compromise one's truth and perform tasks that feel at best meaningless and at worst in direct conflict with who they really are, can create a dissatisfaction that permeates all areas of life, resulting in depression, anxiety and even illness.
Those of us who have the good fortune to be professional Massage Therapists know the joy of having our work be a vehicle for the expression of our highest truth. Rather than repressing ourselves to conform to a job, our profession continually invites us to bring more of our wisdom, compassion, presence, love and understanding to every day of our lives. It encourages, supports and challenges us to increasingly become the person we truly want to be. We go to bed at night knowing that our day was spent contributing to the well being of others and we are richly compensated for helping to alleviate the suffering of the people we serve.
A Massage Therapist works in quiet peaceful environment, designed for relaxation and healing. Flexible hours, a virtually unlimited variety of employment options and an rapidly growing industry make Massage Therapy a uniquely fulfilling career.
If your current employment situation doesn't reflect and support your heart's passion and detracts from your ability to live the life you truly desire, consider exploring the possibility of becoming a professional Massage Therapist. In some parts of California you can begin working after your first 150 hours (usually 2 months) of training, and use your income to finance further education.
At Diamond Light School of Massage & Healing Arts we have helped thousands of people reconnect with their dreams, rediscover their life's purpose and change their lives for the better through a career in the healing arts. We offer 150-500 hour State Approved, state of the art professional training programs that can help you to embark on a career that will re-ignite the passion of your soul while learning to do work that you love.
