 We are busy. Busier than ever. Perhaps our greatest challenge right now is finding how to "be" in all we "do".
For many, "doing" takes precedence over "being". Why? Many reasons. Learned behavior, expectations, our devices, the noisy mind. Humans are stubborn. We resist pausing the doing to connect to our being. At some point, we get tired of resisting and surrender. Sometimes we surrender on our own, sometimes we are forced to (think crisis). Whatever you are experiencing, when you make time to "be", you renew body, mind, and spirit. You give yourself the opportunity to find what works in YOUR life, for uniquely YOU. We support you. Our mission is to provide Sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit. Whether you are coming to the Sanctuary for massage and bodywork, a skin renewing facial, meditation, or an energy healing session, we got you. Maybe you are in the area and simply pop in to inhale the scents and Sanctuary vibes. We love seeing you. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. Teamwork makes the dream work! We are grateful for the partnership. >>>View Services >>>Book Now  Last week I spoke about resistance and how it works in opposition to getting what we say we want! Being in resistance actually keeps us re-living the event after it has happened. Double suffering!
What can we do? Like anything in life we wish to be "good" at, we must practice. In order for us to practice, we must create the habit of practice. I love this quote, "To develop a reliable routine, a golfer has to decide to follow it and practice it time after time until it becomes an ingrained habit that will show up no matter how much pressure he or she is under. You can be sure that under pressure, you will find out what your dominant habit is." -Dr. Bob Rotella, Golf is Not a Game of Perfect Ahhh. Life is not a game of perfect either. That's why we need good habits which support us through our imperfections! One of my mentors recently said, "you can't learn how to swim when you're drowning". Indeed. When I started my daily habit of spiritual practices' decades ago I had no idea how powerful they would became in navigating life with greater ease and grace. My daily spiritual practices include prayer and meditation as well as movement. I have many practices. These 3 are non-negotiable, every single day. What are your spiritual practices? Are they a daily habit? >>>I'd Love To Know!  Resistance works in opposition to getting what we say we want! When we are resisting, we lose energy. We all know that being in resistance doesn't work! Ultimately, what we resist will persist.
I have found that being in resistance actually keeps us re-living the event after it has happened. Double suffering! It goes like this: 1.Something happened in the past that hurt us. 2. We are still giving it our attention (thoughts/focus) and energy (power) in the present. 3. By focusing on it we re-create / re-live it in the future. Why do we do it? Many reasons, mostly fear of losing control. We also resist because if we accept something we "don't want / disagree with" on some level we feel conflicted. It may seem that by accepting something "unacceptable", we are asking for more of it or perhaps even condoning it. While this may seem convincing, it's false. What is true, is the event that happened. It's done. Resisting that truth is a form of denial. That's a whole other topic! Bottom line: The only way to move beyond resistance is through acceptance. Once we do this, we free up the energy to do what needs to be done so to speak. Resistance is one of my favorite topics because on the other side is freedom -- and what we want! >>>Learn More  Enhance your natural youthful summer glow with a wonderful hydrating facial.
