Wishing Joy & Hope During the Holidays

​Are you feeling a little stressed at this time of year? 

I'm finding things are taking a little longer than planned, small problems are feeling magnified and I'm a bit more irritated than usual.  All signs that I need to turn inward.  Can you relate to this?

I wrote a blog about 10 years ago about finding balance during this season that you might find helpful.  It begins like this.

"One of the great strengths of Eastern thought is its ability to allow for the existence of two opposing forces or ideas at the same time.  With this in mind, I offer you some suggestions for maintaining balance throughout the holiday season.  My suggestions embrace the notion that the yang side of the holidays – the parties, eating, gift-giving, decorations and commercialism – can be balanced by the yin side – the soul, the heart and the connections we have with ourselves, our memories and the people we care about.  By slowing down a little and paying attention to our inner, yin side, we can find and create special meaning at this time of year.  Here are some ideas to help you explore ways of doing this.  These are only my ideas.  Please take them, mutate them and transform them into your own...."  Read the rest here

If you're looking for other ways to take a breath, slow down & be present consider getting a 1/2 hour craniosacral therapy treatment, which uses gentle touch to settle and relax the nervous system.  Until the end of the year, I'm offering a pay from the heart model.  Pay $36-$60 for a 30 minute treatment.  Schedule online using the link below or send me an email with times that might work for you.

It's fine to gift this to someone you know.  Simply purchase a gift card & have them get in touch with me.

In the busyness of the season, we often forget to check in, be present and share the kindness and love that the holidays are truly about.

Consider this a gentle reminder to focus on the things that are truly important.  The rest will fall into place.

Wishing you much peace, joy & contentment!
