The document describes The Halo Massage technique which is claimed to provide 7.5 extra minutes of life through building four types of resilience: physical, mental, emotional, and social. It achieves this by manipulating soft tissue, breathing techniques, positive imagery, touch, and cultivating gratitude. Evidence is presented showing how each type of resilience contributes to better health and longevity when strengthened on a regular basis through a technique like The Halo Massage.

2. Thank you

to last. Well, we are putting it right up front

to check this out.
• Thank you.

3. Life Generating: The Halo Massage
You will live 7.5 minutes longer than you
otherwise would have – just because you had
The Halo Massage.

4. The Simple Maths
• People that every day build the “4 types of
resilience” live 10-years longer.
• The Halo Massage purposefully builds on each
type of resilience
• Your 7.5-mins extra life compounds every time
you build those 4 types of resilience
• Each time you gain a small portion
(7.68minutes to be exact) extra minutes as
you extend your age expectancy by 10 years.

7. What Inspired This
• The Halo Massage was created in 2002 before
the explosion of digital devices.
• Nowadays, the Angels use smartphones
instead of paper-based systems to interact
with clients.
• We took this opportunity to upgrade The Halo
Massage and make it, “Life Generating”.
• The “Life Generating” partly came from ideas
in this TED talk http://youtu.be/lfBpsV1Hwqs
