"Difficult times have helped to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever."
~~~Isak Dinesen

BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

Massage as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many cultures. We now have scientific proof of the benefits of massage - benefits ranging from treating chronic diseases and injuries to alleviating the growing tensions of our modern lifestyles. Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind - there are specific physiological and psychological changes which occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a PREVENTATIVE, FREQUENT THERAPY and not simply mere luxury. Massage not only feels good, but it can cure what ails you!
Massage is a perfect elixir for good health, but it can also provide an integration of body and mind. By producing a meditative state or heightened awareness of living in the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing with it true relaxation and peace.
In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic (and holistic) approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Find welcome release and relief and a balance leading to a higher state of health both emotionally and physically by letting our massage therapist treat you to a full hour of a soothing and relaxing body massage, allowing you to drift away on a mini-vacation!

"People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun's out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light within."
~~~Elizabeth Kubler Ross
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world! There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
~~~Marianne Williamson

Our BELLY DANCING CLASSES are filling up and we are having a great time! As we work to learn the moves and put them together in a dance, we are working our bodies in ways that tighten and strengthen our muscles, our spine and our internal organs. Beyond the physical benefits of the dance is the internal release of the feminine within. The dance allows us to "feel" our bodies in a different way and to encourage the release of our feminine power.
Next time let the music move inside and let the body move as one with the dance. Perhaps we should all try a little "improvisation" in our moves. I just may include that in your next class!!!
Love ya

YOGA

YOGA is a physical, mental and spiritual way of life that puts reality into perspective. Yoga doesn't change your stressful circumstances, but it will teach you how to react to them without neglecting or even injuring yourself.

DE STRESS BY "BREATHING"
Try this deep yogic breathing to release building stress:
Inhale for a count of three, then exhale for a count of four. Next, inhale for a count of three and hold for a count of three then exhale for a count of four - gradually working your way up to inhaling for four, holding for four and exhaling for a count of six.
