 Like ocean waves, our breathing takes on a rhythmic pattern.
When we sync our breathing to the rise and fall of waves we can calm our nervous system and relax our mind. Take a 30 second breathing break with this relaxing ocean meditation. >>>Watch Now  We are meant to experience vibrant health, peace, prosperity, and connection. Whether that’s through improving relationships, enhancing our health and well-being, discovering a new career, increasing our monetary wealth, or connecting with our spirituality and life purpose, we are worthy, deserving and it's POSSIBLE.
Throughout the decades voraciously reading everything from yoga texts, to business books, and everything in between, I learned a most valuable piece of wisdom that helps me manifest what I say I want. The wisdom: every obstacle is an opportunity for greater benefit. The key to activating and applying this wisdom consistently over time lies in our mindset. Our mindset is either operating from lack (what's wrong) or abundance (what's right). The difference determines whether or not we will achieve our goals and dreams. Are you ready to transform your mindset & your life? If YES, let me know here.  MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE TREATMENT AT BRONXVILLE WELLNESS SANCTUARY
Most people are familiar with lymphatic drainage helping to release excess fluid in the body. However, our lymphatic system is widely diverse in its overall benefits. Lymphatic drainage is essential to stabilizing a healthy immune system, carrying white blood cells to fight off infection, as well as transferring toxins to be filtered out to the liver and kidneys. Since our lymphatic system does not have a pump (as our circulatory system does) the way we move lymph is with exercise or a manual lymphatic drainage treatment. Lymphatic fluid moves throughout the body through our muscles contracting, and through an intricate system of vessels and valves. Sometimes our lymphatic system requires assistance in moving this fluid, and that's where manual lymphatic drainage treatment comes in. What are the benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment? - Boosts immunity - Aids in moving toxins out of the body (through the liver and kidneys) - Releases excess fluid - Reduces tightness in muscles - Promotes overall relaxation and well being -Helps with sleep What happens in a Manual Lymphatic Drainage session? Is it like a massage? While MLD is a full body treatment, lymphatic drainage is nothing like a massage. It consists of incredibly light compressions, circular movements, and "pumping" actions. The touch of the therapists’ hands will feel like no more than the weight of a nickel resting on your skin. Some people when receiving manual lymphatic drainage describe it as "featherlike" in movement. Why is the pressure so light? When someone is used to receiving massage, it can be an abrupt change receiving lymphatic drainage, and can almost feel like "nothing." But, in fact, the exact opposite is true. The lymphatic system rests directly under the skin, and can only be accessed through light, pumping motions to encourage the lymph flow. If we used any other pressure heavier than what was previously described, we would actually be compressing the lymph fluid, thereby blocking it and obstructing it from moving throughout the body. What to expect after an MLD treatment: - You may feel "clean" or "light" - You may feel relaxed or energized - You may urinate more, and the urine may look or smell different than usual - You may feel nauseous - You may sleep really deeply, or not be able to sleep - You may feel clear headed Before Your Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment: - Do not drink/eat 2 hours beforehand - Make sure to use the restroom beforehand - Ensure you are not currently experiencing menstruation You are not eligible for MLD if you have any of the following conditions: acute infections or fever, bronchitis, congestive heart failure, renal failure, active bleeding, blood clots, circulatory problems, overactive thyroid, epilepsy, blocked intestines, diverticulosis, abdominal aorta aneurysm, diabetes mellitus, cancer (leukemia and lymphoma patients require a doctor's note), Crohn's disease, or any disease with inflammation in the intestines, adhesions in the abdomen due to surgical intervention, radiation therapy, any other health issues for gut, liver and kidneys, any abdominal surgery within 6 to 8 weeks (after this time period requires a doctor’s note), undiagnosed edema, acute asthma, burns, fresh scars, bruises, eczema, if you are currently menstruating, gynecological cysts and pregnancy Peter & Kimberly offer this service. >>>BOOK NOW  Go graduates!!

Here's what I pulled -- Daughter of Pentacles (pictured above from Wild Unknown Deck). Pentacles suit usually refers to material aspects of life: home, career, money. Pictured here is a deer with a quiet sensibility rooted in nature; Above her is a beautiful rainbow representing her connection to all of life. She is deeply rooted in herself, and exhibits strength, calm, clarity, and wholeness. She wants for nothing and no-thing. She embodies the beauty and wisdom of the divine feminine - kind, supportive, in the flow of making things happen - a creator. Generous and attuned, she reminds us we have everything we need within. She doesn't chase. She attunes and intends then waits in stillness. The Wisdom: -Where are you out of alignment or chasing something/someone? -What thoughts/emotions/behaviors are creating lack or preventing you from taking ownership of your life? -Are you deeply rooted in yourself? If not, root. You must root to rise. -Are you balancing your feminine gift to care for others with caring for yourself? -Are you replenishing your energy by connecting to nature on a regular basis? This card also reminds us that we are the creators of our experience. Whatever we choose to "do", to "create", pay attention to who/what is getting your attention. Ask yourself: is my attention (my focus) aligned with my intentions (my desires with non-attachment to outcome)? Note: attention energizes, intention transforms. If your attention is aligned with your intentions, awesome. If not, take time to reconnect with your intentions to ensure they are in alignment with your soul. When you are aligned with your soul, you create abundance in all areas of your life.
