The ideals of summer: family road trips to interesting places, camping in the woods or staying in nice hotels on the beach; family and friends hanging out at the lake, bonfires and toasting marshmallows. The realities: day camps, sports camps, summer camps, carpools to the pool for swim lessons, neighborhood kids hanging at your place because you are the “cool parent”; even with no kids summer time can be stressful: more traffic from tourists and special events around town, heat waves taxing the air conditioner at the office or home, home projects gone crazy. All your plans for taking time for yourself are out the window.
This is a gentle reminder that when you take care of yourself, you have more to give to others. Self-care is NOT a luxury, its a necessity. Whether its a yoga class at your favorite studio, a meditative walk with your favorite pup, a stroll on the beach at sunset or a cup of tea in the back yard before everyone else wakes up, taking time for yourself refills your reservoirs giving you the energy to tackle all the things on your to-do list and still have the patience to deal with packing a picnic supper for a movie in the park.
Body work is so much more than getting rid of muscle pain; therapeutic touch allows for a deeper connection between mind and body. It opens you up to experiencing your body completely, identify where you are holding stress or expended emotions and then create a pathway for you to release them. It can be as much about mental health care as physical health care; it can be a way to boost how you feel about yourself or how you feel in your Self. Of course, it’s also getting rid of that pesky knee pain you experience every time you go up the stairs.
