Life these days requires a return to simple basics. Foundations that are always there for us to practice. As we listen to the podcast of the Reiki Principles today let us know ways you practice them in your everyday life. Peace, Love and Light to all.
Deep Breath, Pause, Reflect
At times like this we sometimes feel at a loss for what to do, how to respond, or how to take care of ourselves, our friends and loved ones. Things seem surreal and uncertain. But one thing we can all be certain of is the practice of yoga and meditation helps us all build more resiliency. Swami Muktananda once said, “A yogi is someone who can turn every circumstance to his advantage.” That is the very essence of the meaning of resiliency, to be able to withstand and or recover quickly from difficult conditions. This is why we challenge ourselve on the mat so when life throws a big curve ball at us we can still may a good swing at it.
I am are so grateful for the practice of yoga and meditation in my life, for our local and online yogacommunity, for the opportunity to be of service in some small way. Throughout the next few weeks I will be posting a short yoga practice or meditation practice on The Wellness Spa Facebook page for you to listen to or view and practice at home. I am also offering individual online yoga sessions at home with clients through Skype or Face Time video calls.
But for today lets all practice a little Metta or Loving Kindness Meditation. You may download and or listen to the podcast here.
May I feel safe and protected.
May I feel contented and pleased
May my mind and body be healthy and strong
May my life unfold peacfully and at ease.
And so it is.

Plant Based Potluck
Plant Based Potluck! When two amazing things meet, healthy food and community! What could be better!? Let’s get together to share an amazing healthy feast and one another’s company. Plant based eating is all the talk these days, and with our culture shifting more towards a plant based diet we all have a million questions on “what does plant based even mean, and is this right for me!?”
Science is now showing evidence on how shifting the focus of our diet towards more plants and less meat can be beneficial in so many ways. Not only is this beneficial for our bodies, it is beneficial for our wonderful planet. We will dive into detail on all of this and more during our potluck. Come with questions, a wonderful dish to share, your own plate(old metal pie pans work well), spoon, and water bottle or cup! (seriously we won’t be providing any plastic or styrofoam) Leave with a full belly, a full heart, new friends, and new information! Please join us on this lovely endeavor, bringing together community, all in the name of health and wellness, Sunday February16th, 4pm The Wellness Spa, 345 Daisy Street Jackson Missouri. Parking lot and entrance behind the building.Not sure what to bring here are some simple plant based receipes you could try.
