Healing Traditions Bodywork Client Testimonial:

“I went to Healing Traditions and Mary after being injured in an auto accident and suffering minor whiplash.  After the first session, I felt considerably better and after the 2^nd and 3^rd, I felt pretty much back to normal.  Mary gives a great massage due to the fact that she listens to what you want and she discusses your needs (aches and pains) with you first.  If you’ve suffered an injury from an accident, are attempting to simply loosen up or recover from a workout/overexertion or are simply wanting to get a massage for the relaxation and tune-up benefits, she listens to you and then adapts the session to what you want and need.  I have tried a number of masseuses in the past, but have now been a client of Healing Traditions for nearly 4 yrs.  I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

Strength For Today

Freedom (1960's)

To stand forth in strength;
The strength of wisdom,
The strength of knowledge,
The strength of power,
The strength to stand tall,
The strength to say nay,
The strength to be proud,
To be strong, able and wise,
Down this road true freedom lies...

Karl Stuart Kline

DEEP RELAXATION

Why is it sometimes difficult to relax and be at ease? This is the work of an over zealous ego that is always "shoulding" as a way to feel better about itself.  Should I do this or should I do that to get what I need? The problem with this way of thinking is that the ego is never satisfied for long, even when you do everything you think you should do—there is always more to do. So how do we get the ego to quiet down and stop telling us what we should do so we can relax and enjoy life?

Once you let go of the tension in your body it becomes easier to calm your mind. Quieting the mind through deep relaxation has tremendous benefits. First, and foremost, you will experience greater peace of mind. Secondly, you go into the alpha state, one of the electrical brain-wave patterns produced by the brain. This is an altered state of consciousness, like daydreaming, that  has a special kind of awareness associated with it. It is the state you are in right before you fall asleep and right after you wake up. At this level of the mind you are connected with your right brain—the creative, intuitive side.

You may be thinking that you don't have time during the course of your busy day to devote to deep relaxation. The truth is, it is one of the best uses of your time. Fifteen to twenty minutes of deep relaxation is equivalent to a three-hour nap. It refreshes and invigorates your body and allows you to tap into the creativity of your right brain. Your powers of visualization are twenty times more effective when you are deeply relaxed so it is the perfect time to use your imagination in a productive way. Make sure you won't be interrupted and listen to soothing music to help you relax.

During the holidays it is especially important to take time for relaxation. This could make the difference between enjoying this season and stressing out until it’s over. Our Satori Fitness classes (Mondays and Wednesdays at noon) end with a guided deep relaxation and leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

May you have a peaceful and relaxing holiday,

~ Carol

Holiday Make up Trends & Tips

Two classic looks have reemerged for this holiday season: smokey, shimmery eyes paired with light lips, and deep red lips balanced with lighter eye makeup. Shimmer seems to always be in for the Holiday parties, but do not over do it.

For Smokey Eyes apply eyeliner on both top and bottom lashes, be sure to smudge it to soften the look.  Use an eye shadow primer and a shimmery shadow on the lid. Dab a shimmery blush on the cheeks, powder your face lightly and apply a light lipstick or gloss for the perfect "little black dress" look.

Make up tip: cover unsightly veins on eyelids with a matte eyeshadow in a color close to your skin tone.
