It has been a heavy year, but this is a beautiful perspective of what’s to come… sharing for those who resonate with this 🐴🗓️

✨ There comes a moment where the soul simply refuses to carry one more ounce of old weight.

2025 has been that moment for many of us. Heavy lessons. Strange pauses. That “in-between” feeling where nothing is quite ending, but nothing is quite beginning either. A year of spiritual friction, emotional clutter, and inner truths trying to surface.

And then the message starts to appear from everywhere:
Shed. Let go. Release. Make space.

🌿 Shedding is not gentle.
It is uncomfortable.
It is raw.
It is the phase where the old identity loosens and the new one has not formed yet.
A spiritual moulting.
A soul finally admitting what can’t come any further.

In many traditions, shedding is the precursor to a shift in destiny. The space between cycles. The thinning of old stories and the dissolving of the armour that once kept everything together.

And this time, the timing matters.
2026 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac.

🐎 Historically, a Horse year is:
• a breaker of stagnation
• a mover of truth
• a catalyst for courage
• a year where intuition sharpens
• a year where buried feelings rise
• a year of doors opening in quick, bold ways

Horse years pull life forward. They untangle knots. They refuse to entertain anything that drains spirit or slows momentum. They are known for clarity after long periods of confusion.

To step into that energy, the shedding becomes essential.
You cannot carry the emotional debris of 2025 into a cycle built for movement.
A new year asks for a new skin.

🔥 Shedding becomes:

Releasing resentment.
Letting guilt dissolve.
Retiring survival habits that no longer match your season.
Allowing old versions of the self to fall away without ceremony.

When something leaves, something else can enter.
That is the ancient rhythm of renewal.

2026 is not asking for perfection.
It is asking for space.
For honesty.
For a willingness to loosen what never truly fit.

🌙 The shedding is the doorway.
The Horse year is the stride through it.

Everything begins the moment the weight drops.

✨ Testimonial Tuesday ✨
Real stories. Real results. Real healing.

💬 “I am lucky enough to have had many Bowen treatments in the past and they all work for me.

However, I want to make special mention of my most recent one. I’d been playing hockey and was heavily tackled by the opposing goalkeeper - six severely bruised ribs (possibly fractured), severe lower back pain, and feeling totally twisted when I walked.

I honestly don’t know how… but Fiona managed to get rid of ALL of the pain, allowing me to walk without any issues at all. I must be saving a fortune on painkillers! A brilliant session - and one I should have booked much sooner.”

💚 Stories like this remind us why we love what we do. Bowen can be such a powerful, gentle reset for the body - especially when life throws you sideways… or a hockey goalkeeper does! 🤣

If you’re dealing with:
👉 Pain
👉 Tension
👉 Feeling “out of alignment”
👉 Struggling to move comfortably

… Aberdeen Bowen was established in 2013, and can only found at Urban Wellness Health & Float.

📍 Based in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

I was working with a Bowen client on Saturday… they had just had an Urban Wellness Float before getting on the couch. WOW! All of the tension in their muscles had melted away… 🤯🫠

Urban Wellness Float is inside our wellness space, if you’d like to book a bowen before/after your float please email info@aberdeenbowen.co.uk

Time for a top up?

Posture check — where’s your jaw right now?

A small change in jaw position can shift your whole body alignment, from head to toe.

It’s one of those fascinating examples of how the body works as a single, connected system — something we’re always exploring in Bowen Therapy.

This news isn’t new to us as Bowen Therapists 😉

The work we offer here at Urban Wellness Health is all geared towards nervous system regulation, and lowering inflammation through the vagus nerve…

The Nerve That Could Heal the Body from Within

Researchers have discovered that stimulating a single nerve in the body, the vagus nerve, can dramatically reduce inflammation linked to many chronic diseases. This breakthrough could pave the way for new, non-drug treatments for conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, depression, and even heart disease.

The vagus nerve is one of the most important communication highways between the brain and the body. It controls critical functions such as heartbeat, digestion, and immune response. When this nerve is gently stimulated, it sends calming signals that tell the body to lower inflammation and restore balance.

Inflammation is at the root of many long-term illnesses, often caused by the immune system staying in a constant state of alert. Traditional treatments rely on medication to suppress this response, but vagus nerve stimulation works differently. It uses the body’s own electrical network to naturally regulate immune activity, reducing harmful inflammation without drugs or side effects.

Researchers are now testing small, implantable devices and even external stimulators that can activate the vagus nerve safely and effectively. Early studies show promising results, with patients experiencing less pain, improved mood, and better overall health.

This discovery reveals just how connected the mind and body truly are. By harnessing the body’s internal communication system, scientists are learning how to heal from within, not by overpowering nature, but by working in harmony with it.

The future of medicine may not lie only in pills or surgeries but in reawakening the body’s own ability to restore itself.

TMJ issues.............An oldie but a goodie..........

And after a wee car accident last week where someone drove into the back of me, as my head was turned looking for oncoming traffic, and it hit off the headrest...............You can imagine what took the brunt of the impact.........

You guessed it, my face/jaw/neck!!!
I'll spare you the squinty face photo but it was worse the the one below 🤣

😬 My Jaw Is Out Of Alignment - How Do I Know??

This is one of my (physical and visual) tell tale ‘signs’ when I know I am overdue for my bowen session……and in need of some TMJ work

Looking at this photo…… what can you see?

(On the side where my face is closest to the sign)

Can you see 👀

👁 That my eye is slightly smaller and has ‘a dropped down’ look compared to the other side?

👄 That my chin and bottom lip are pulling to the side and are off centre from my nose??

☺️And now that you are aware of a tightness or pulling aspect in my face …… can you see the cheek ‘definition’ which is actually not relaxed but sitting more defined because of the tensional pulls happening……..

A non visual sign when this happens, to tell me I’m ‘outta whack’, is that I get a jaw click…….
(I also have a few other things…… but hopefully this is food for thought, to listen and look at your body all the time….. for it subtly telling you, it needs some care and support……..)

Now to get booked in for getting this body and face, back in BALANCE 🥰 and functioning better overall
