Ten reasons to cut food packaging boxes into 4x6 postcards to write your elected officials (in no order of importance):

Infinite supply of fun FREE eco-friendly postcards.

Recycling, upcycling, reusing are where it’s at.

Elected officials can’t read minds, they must hear from you.

The midterm election is in November. We have the power to reinstate sanity, compassion, and checks & balances.

The whooosh sound of a guillotine paper cutter is so satisfying.

Writing down the full expression of your outrage and grief is therapeutic.

Supports the US Postal Service ~ fyi standard postcard stamps are $.61 each, so free postcards are a bonus.

Eliminates the reliance on Amazon for cheap bulk postcards.

Not all politicians care about constituents. All politicians care about getting re-elected. Let them know how you feel over and over and over…

All 435 US House of Representatives and 35 US Senate seats are up for re-election. We hold the power, but it requires action.

EXTRA: Democracy dies in silence. Be heard!

—please share, then get cutting and writing!

I talk about our tai chi enthusiasts a lot, but we also have passionate yogis in our studio community who always show up and speak out. I am thankful for all of them! 🙏🏼

As a healer, my work is to find and address the root cause.

This is exactly why we fully participate and get political. Getting political is going upstream to have an impact on the number of people falling in downstream.

The actions or inaction of elected officials, decision makers, and policy makers put and keep Minnesotans in this horrific unsustainable situation.

Having the right people represent us and voting out the people who don’t, is how we move toward healing. This is a mindfulness practice. We begin by raising our awareness and noticing exactly what our elected officials are doing and hold them accountable.

The midterm election is in November. All House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats are up for re-election; along with numerous state and local elections. We hold the power to influence change for the better.

Healing Within Studio stands in solidarity with our BIPOC neighbors, ICE out of Minnesota, and the National General Strike tomorrow, January 30th. However, community acupuncture is on because it is essential health care. Our studio is committed to promoting connections, holding conversations, and getting political.

The upcoming caucus is on Tuesday, Feb 3rd. Wisconsin has a special election for state Supreme Court on April 7th. We write postcards. We volunteer. We work on campaigns.

Any hope of regaining our democracy lies in our collective vigilance and care.

Thank you MN Senator John Marty.

These CEOs say they “have been working every day behind the scenes” with the White House?

And they think this blather is a bold response?

ICE agents are acting with cruelty, ignoring constitutional rights – brutally abducting the customers and workers of these businesses. They detain even preschool children, demand people show papers to prove they are citizens, they attack and kill people on the streets. They are roaming our communities looking for people to arrest because their darker skin leads some ICE agents to believe they don’t belong here.

The explicit racial targeting of non-white people is appalling. It violates everything that these businesses claim to stand for. The atmosphere for people of color is akin to that for Jewish residents of Berlin in the 1930s.

YET THE ONLY THING THESE CEOs WILL DO IS CALL FOR “FOCUSED COOPERATION” AMONG POLITICAL LEADERS?

SHAME!

The wealth and economic clout of these CEOs could get Trump’s attention. If they truly care about their customers, employees, and the community, they will demand the President pull ICE out of Minnesota before they kill more people on the street, before they terrorize more of our neighbors.

Liz is a cancer survivor and now again a fierce cancer warrior!

We are holding Liz and her family in our hearts as Liz temporarily steps down from teaching yoga. She is encouraging all her yogis to reach out and explore other Healing Within Studio modalities and classes for the time being. She will return later this spring, as she is ready.

Please say a prayer for Liz this week. Liz’s Meditation, Chair Yoga, and Yoga 4 Cancer classes are on pause. We will keep you updated.

When times are heavy and the community is hurting:

Gathering heals.
Action heals.
Connections heal.
Singing heals.
Deep breaths heal.

THANK YOU to all who came out for our studio community gathering this afternoon. There is strength and comfort in our community circles.

~I think we’re going to have to get more chairs for next time! ❤️
