What will your self-care look like today?

06/05/2022

It has been a hot minute since I last posted here. I’ve had much on the go and am looking forward to jumping back into taking clients once again, however with my recent relocation to Calgary I need to get a few ducks in a row first.

I have been spending free time expanding my knowledge so I can be a better practitioner on all fronts!

In some of my current reading I came across a question that I encourage you to ponder…

What would I do if there was nothing I was supposed to do?

I find that even when “relaxing” I often find my mind drawn to what I’m supposed to be doing…but what would I do…who would I be if I had nothing I was supposed to be doing?

And perhaps one of the most difficult questions I’ve ever had posed to me was by an elder I was dining with, he asked…

Who are you?

Not what do you do, which is how many of us want to define ourselves, but WHO are you.

I still ponder this question regularly, and I have never been more stumped, perhaps this is our life’s quest, to discover WHO we are not WHAT we are.

I find these to be questions that force introspection…I invite you to delve within and discover!

Saturday evening self-care…lots of bubbles, steaming hot water, and a trashy novel!

What do you do to make time for and honour yourself?

How have your littles been managing over the last year? All the heaviness and seemingly continual change can have a huge impact. Reiki can help your child find a state of relaxation and stress release.

I take the time to fully engage with my young clients during our pre-talk and answer any questions they may have, so that they are fully comfortable before we begin. Children love Reiki and are like little sponges for the energy. One of my little clients told their mom the very next day that they wanted to come back. I enjoy getting feedback and knowing that the session was so helpful.

Your child will receive not only a Reiki session, but the tools to support them every day. Message me today to book a wonderfully relaxing session of healing Reiki energy for your child.

Wow, it has been a minute since I've posted on my page.

What an experience this past year has been! If you're like me, you have learned a lot about yourself and others in this time. I spent a lot of time looking within. What was truly important to me...how could I best serve/help others...etc.

I chose to view the situation as a time of reset and introspection. I embraced being given an opportunity to catch a breath and just be. To focus on what really mattered, and to let go of the fluff.

It was interesting because through all of this, I discovered many things that had once felt important were really not in the grand scheme of things. And, how much easier it is to take a breath when you just let go of what you do not need.

Although I've strived to maintain a low level of stress and a healthy balance between work and home, it became even more important to me over this past year. I meditated more, sat in comfortable silence more, I started writing again (a former passion that had fizzled out for some reason), and I am loving where I'm at!!

It has been long for us all and it appears it may be a bit longer yet. Hang in there! We've got this!!

Sunnier days are ahead, remember to breathe, and release what does not serve you. :)

Morning Reiki meditation, it’s how I start my day, and boyohboy I sure know when I’ve skipped my daily practice!

What is your daily spiritual practice? How do you honour yourself?

Often characteristics and traits we admire or dislike in another are reflections of the same within ourselves. We tend to ignore or fail to acknowledge the negative traits and tendencies in ourselves, however, when we recognize them and use them as stepping stones to grow, great and wonderful things happen!

What are your reflections telling you? Step into your growth!!

Hypnosis and Reiki are both therapies that can help facilitate change...book your session today!

2020 has been quite the journey. I have made the choice to view things with my gratitude eyes. Blessings have been counted, evaluation of values has been conducted, and self-care has become more of a priority than ever.

These are stressful, anxiety inducing times due to the uncertainty we all feel, and I'd like to make it a little easier for you to put self-care closer to the top of your list.

Reiki is a great way to facilitate relaxation and stress relief...which is something needed right now.

From now until December 31 my Reiki sessions will be reduced to $50.00.

Contact me to book a session.

I've had quite a few friends express feelings of anxiety lately. It is difficult not to be anxious in these times of change and uncertainty, but there is something you can do to counter it.

When you find yourself feeling anxious, stop, take a deep breath, and exhale slowly. Let your shoulders drop, and focus on the present moment...be present. Keep inhaling and exhaling mindfully...your anxiety will lift.

Often we experience anxiety because we are focused on the what ifs, the future, what's going to happen, and because it is unknown we become anxious (fearful).

Today is all we are guaranteed. Be present. Enjoy THIS moment, THIS time... and remember to breathe!

Amethyst is a stone of protection. It was often used on goblets in the middle ages to protect against excessive drunkenness and poisoning. It balances and connects the physical, mental, and emotional aspects and connects them to the spiritual.

Why do we put off pampering or treating ourselves for a special occasion.

You are worth it right now...every day is a special occasion. Celebrate YOU! Celebrate NOW!

Every day you are amazing! You are that special moment, that special occasion, that something to honor and celebrate!

Don't wait for that special occasion because that special occasion is now.
