"When you're not receiving something you very much desire, entertain the possibility that this waiting season is not in vain at all. You are being prepared and strengthened for it, or for something far more aligned with the truth of your heart." - sasha_tozzi

Whether you believe in God, are religious or spiritual, or not, this is a helpful way to view those times in our life that don't feel purposeful. What do others think about this quote? 👇

To different religions, Diwali means different things. In Hinduism, it celebrates the return of the deities Rama and Sita to Ayodhya after a 14-day exile, whereas Sikhs commemorate the sixth guru Hargobind Singh's release from prison in 1619.

Because Diwali is celebrated by such a diverse group of people, traditions and customs can vary from family to family. Leading up to Diwali, many clean their houses, light diyas (oil lamps), draw rangoli (patterns made with colored powder or rice), and cook all sorts of mitai (sweets), and snacks. Some dress up in new clothes, perform pujas (religious ceremonies), get together with family and friends to enjoy large feasts, and even light fireworks.

For some, it's also a time for prayer and reflection, visiting temples to pray to the Hindu deity Lakshmi. Overall though, it's a time for happiness and joy. 🪔🎆🤲

That whole body anxiety and panic can't be easily addressed through telling yourself to calm down and move on. In those moments, your nervous system needs a physical cue that it's safe. A signal that goes through the body first rather than the mind.

Most of us look at you with this kind of admiration in our sessions at some point. What some of you may not fully understand is that our pride is more so in seeing the work you're doing on your own outside of sessions over the ah-ha moments in our sessions.

A weekly 45 minute session is a tiny part of your life. The real change happens by applying what you've learned in that short window to your daily life. And that brings us so much joy!

Sometimes we get so caught up in chasing the goal or worrying about the future that we forget to celebrate the little victories happening every day.

You had a meaningful conversation. You achieved a small milestone. You enjoyed a peaceful sunset. You kept your patience with your kid or frustrating coworker.

Whatever it is, life isn't just about the big wins. It's also about the daily joys that add up to something amazing.

For all those who celebrate, happy Rosh Hashanah! From those who don't, here's some fun facts about the holiday.

Rosh Hashanah is the New Year in Judaism, and the traditional anniversary of the initiation of humanity in God's world via Adam and Eve. Many celebrate by attending synagogue, sounding the shofar (ram's horn), eating symbolic foods like apples and honey to welcome a sweet new year, and participating in the Tashlich ritual by casting bread crumbs into water to symbolically cast away sins.

If you celebrate, comment below sharing some of your family's traditions! 👇

We all know how hard it can be to get children to open up after school. Changing your questions to open ended can help them process their day.

BUT give them time to decompress before asking questions! Their brain needs time to let go of the school structure, socialization, and stimulation.

Hispanic Heritage Month provides an opportunity to explore the incredible impact Latinas and Latinos have had on the United States for generations. The Latino presence in America spans centuries, predating Spain’s colonization of what is now part of the United States, and they have been an integral part of shaping our nation since the Revolutionary War. Through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the Treaty of Paris that followed the Mexican-American and Spanish-American wars, the United States gained territories in the Southwest and Puerto Rico. This incorporated the people of this area into the United States and further expanded the presence of Hispanic Americans.

Today, the Latino population in the United States today is over 60 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This makes up 18.9% of the total population and is the largest racial or ethnic group. Latinos continue to help fuel our economy and enrich our nation as entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, entertainers, scientists, public servants, and much more.

Comment below with some things or people you want to brag about in the Hispanic culture! 👇

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. A lot of healing and action has happened since then. What remains is still healing for those lost, for those whose mental and physical health were impacted by exposure to the attack, and for those experiencing discrimination for their race and ethnicity.

We see all of you. Know that all have a safe space in our doors.
