The Importance of Going Away

​Sometimes our lives need a little reset. I realized the importance of this when I took a day trip to Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.  I left my house a bit frazzled.  I was in a hurry and had just enough gas in the car to make it most of the way to Lenox.  

Fortunately, after a pit stop in Lee, I arrived.

Once I got there, my whole frame of mind shifted.  I parked the car, put my phone in a locker and had a full day to do whatever I wanted to with no responsibilities.  I took a dance yoga class, went on a mindfulness kayak ride and had a delicious lunch and dinner.

The weather was beautiful and for that day life was easy and effortless.  I truly felt cared for.  

When we’re busy and stressed out, it may seem counterintuitive to slow down.  With so much to do, we tend to hurry and check off one more thing on our to-do list.  

But slowing down really helps us focus on what is most important.  It helps us gain clarity.  It resets our nervous system.  We can then face our lives with more wisdom and grace.

It’s summer and the world feels a little slower.  I encourage you to take time off –several days or a week if you can.  But even a day or an hour in a different setting can offer the benefits of rest and relaxation.

That’s one of the reasons that acupuncture and craniosacral therapy can be so helpful.  They give the body and mind time to relax, reset and rejuvenate.

If you’re feeling like you could use some TLC, take a moment to schedule a free consultation or an acupuncture or craniosacral therapy appointment.

It could be the first step to a life of more ease.

With you on the journey…
