Overcoming the Holiday blues

For many people this time of the year is associated with joy, but for many others it reopens wounds,

grief,or sadness. It's hard for some to deal with feelings that come to visit each year, not unlike the

Ghost of Christmas past that visited Ebeneezer Scrooge in Dickens' “Christmas Carol”. All the more

reason to have compassion towards others in this season.

Granted some of this can be self inflicted by having too much on the schedule. Parties, Shopping,

indulging in too many goodies. We do it every year. Some of the problem may well be not being able

to simply say “no”, and most certainly we also don't know when to say “yes” to doing something nice

and healthful for ourselves. Make sure to take time to rest. Don't shop till you drop. Don't eat till you

burst. If you take care of yourself then you'll have more energy to spend helping others. Do find

balance. Look for opportunities to make a difference. Give gifts that empower life.

Get to know someone new in your neighborhood. Discover “Random Acts of Kindness”.

Wishing you all the Joy and Happiness that this season promises. Smile and pass it on!

Living a Joyful Life

My favorite word for many years has been “Joy”. It always amazes me how such a small word so perfectly expresses a beautiful emotional state of being. The older I get the more the pursuit of joy has taken priority in my life. I directly attribute this pursuit to the success how business has been experienced this past couple of years. I no longer desire to invest time, energy, or thought to matters that keep joy at a distance. How blessed I am to be practicing a profession that helps people eliminated pain from their life and assists them on empowering health. How rewarding to see the smiles on peoples faces when they come out of their massage sessions by any of our talented therapists. They know that we care about them.

When I teach the “Mind, Money and Power” class we discuss how you can never really create something that you “want or need”. Just saying”I want this...” or “I need this...” reaffirms to the subconscious mind that you are in a state of lack. Even reforming how we say something boosts the harmony of creating that thing in our life. Example: for most people you can never really “LOSE” weight..losing weight is kinda like losing your car keys...eventually you will find them again, they are usually never really lost, just misplaced. So it is with weight. You never really lose it, it just comes back to again later. Better to “Release” the weight. To let it go, which comes not so much from what you eat but rather from how you change your perception of yourself. That is why Diets don't work but “Live-its” do. Its really about a lifestyle change and changing the way you feel and interact with food. I know people who bless their food every meal and then after they say Amen they totally negate that blessing by saying something like “I know this isn't very good for me” or “a minute on the lips and ten years on the hips”.

This is true with any aspect of our lives. I now pursue the Joyful life because I quit working for a living, instead I am committed to letting my living work for me. I know longer invest time in doing things I don't love. I don't worry about making money ( I let the US Mint worry about that) instead I allow the universe to reward me for energy I invest in the things I love doing. Gratitude is a huge part of that. Gratitude doesn't allow you much time to worry about the economy and gratitude is a building block for success.

For the first time in my adult life I am worthy enough to be successful just for me. In the past, my success has been wrapped around taking care of others (bringing home the bacon) but being single and with the kids grown adds a new dimension. Celebrating my success and adding to my joy also means doing things that I love and that enhance the quality of my life like getting regular massages. Other things and a shout out to Sue over at “Pilates on Main” for my regular work outs, Katie Powell (The Powell Method) for voice coaching, Adan and Robin over at Optimum Health for my sessions in the hyperbaric chamber. It feels good to take care of myself with these things.

This year when you hear “Joy to World” take time to reflect on what you are doing to bring more joy into the lives of others. If that brings a smile to your face, build on it; if you don't have enough to smile about then consider what you can do to build a more joyful life.

In order to be loved, first make yourself lovable.....

Lessons from the “Karate Kid”....

The most important gift that Mr. Miyagi gave to young Daniel-san was muscle memory. It wasn't really important that the fence got painted or that the cars got waxed, want was important that the actions repeated over and over, mirrored the actions of the Karate “. Over the years I too have used muscle memory to teach people how to overcome postural and structural imbalances, thus relieving the source of chronic pain.

Our body is constructed of muscle that has been designed to work efficiently with gravity. We need gravity to strengthen muscles and then again gravity becomes a dreaded enemy when we move with improper form. In our modern society, we are being worn down by repetitious movement and bad posture. The most common complaint I treat is the sore shoulders and neck that is a direct result from too many hours in front of the computer. If you get locked in the same position for a long period of time it has the same effect on the tissue as doing the same exercise over and over. It becomes a strain on the body and results in damage.

Most people hear the voice of a parent in your head saying “Stand up straight” or “don't slouch”, the problem is that no one has shown you what standing up straight really is. Whenever I do a movement assessment and reset someone in correct posture, it feels very strange to them. We become so invested in our bad posture that standing incorrectly feels comfortable and natural. It takes work to make the corrections and, quite frankly, most people are lazy. You have to be truly “sick and tired of being sick and tired” before someone develops the motivation for change.

This month on Wednesday October 26^th at 7 pm I am leading a FREE class “Pain Free Movement”. I challenge you to come if:

1. you started and exercise class and gave up because it hurt or was too difficult.

2. You have chronic pain in your neck and shoulders, feet, or low back, but don't remember a specific injury to them

3. recently lost significant weight or had surgery, and don't feel “at home” with the changes to your body

4. Want to avoid surgery to replace knees, hips, or back surgery

If any of these statements are true, we can help. The purpose of this class is to teach you how to use your body effectively in gravity. To learn re-patterning exercises that will aid you correcting posture and strengthening weak muscle groups. To turn back the clock because no matter how old you are, tissue can be reformed and strengthened. It is my desire to give you a message of hope where others are telling you there's nothing you can do with negative message like “everyone in our family has bad knees (or backs or whatever)”, “This surgery is common for people your age”, “ You're just going to have live with this pain”

“Your body is your most perfect dance partner, where you lead it...it will follow”

Water, Water everywhere....

Water, is the most essential element, next to air, to our survival. Water truly is everywhere, still most take it for granted. Water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human body, and without it, we would die in a few days. The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in the body's water supply can trigger signs of dehydration: fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on smaller print, such as a computer screen.

Water is important to the mechanics of the human body. The body cannot work without it, just as a car cannot run without gas and oil. In fact, all the cell and organ functions made up in our entire anatomy and physiology depend on water for their functioning.

• Water serves as a lubricant

• Water forms the base for saliva

• Water forms the fluids that surround the joints.

• Water regulates the body temperature, as the cooling and heating is distributed through perspiration.

• Water helps to alleviate constipation by moving food through the intestinal tract and thereby eliminating waste- the best detox agent.

• Regulates metabolism

How Much Water does the Body Need? A good estimate is to take the body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that the client needs to drink. For example, if the client weighs 150 pounds, he/she should drink at least 75 ounces of water per day. If they exercise, they should drink another eight ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes they are active. If they drink alcohol, they should drink at least an equal amount of water.

At least twenty percent of the water the body needs will come from the foods it consumes. The rest will come from the beverages it takes in. Water is the best choice, the body knows to process water straight into the cells of the body without secreting enzymes and acids needed for chemically breaking down everything else that goes down the gullet; Fluids such as sweetened soft drinks and sodas have added corn syrup that adds extra calories and may contain caffeine. Sports drinks contain electrolytes and may be beneficial; just look out for added sugar and calories that may not be wanted. Fruit and vegetable juice are a good food because they have vitamins and nutrients but may not do much to keep you hydrated (read labels, however -- vegetable juices may be high in sodium). Waters that have flavoring, will be treated and processed in the body as a food with one exception; Citrus! Lemon or lime do not trigger enzymes for digestion probably because of there acidic content, so that these fluids are processed as water and go straight into the cells of the body.
