Artificial intelligence (AI) is important today as we interact with it continuously to carry out basic tasks such as choosing a song, buying groceries and for some people selecting a life partner. As somebody with a massage business, AI is potentially beneficial in thinking through and presenting the benefits. As an individual, it is up to you to market yourself and retain clients and this is a time to think how AI can help you with this.

In a world of rules, law and hard facts, the ability to slow down and appreciate sensual pleasure is diminishing. People are in their heads constantly trying to solve their next problem, whether real or imagined. As usual people’s problems vary: one person may have financial worries while another may be worrying about children and people they care for. Many situations are real while others are in our spiralling thoughts. To the body, both types of anxiety can have the same effect physically for a person despite the severity of the stressor. We cannot take on their burdens and anxieties, but we can use massage to relieve stress, provide remedies and listen to them.
