 Mindset Challenge: Get Crafty & You Will
"If you hear a voice within you saying I am not a painter, by all means, paint, and that voice will be silenced."-Van Gogh One of the best ways I know how to grow (think get unstuck) is by doing the exact things I say I "can't". "I can't" feels disempowering, right? "I can" is much better! There's been many times I have thought "I can't" over the years. Examples include things like owning a brick & mortar business to running - and lots of relationship stuff too. Painting was a big "I can't"! When BWS temporarily closed last year during the pandemic, I got to painting to keep sane, and empowered. Thankfully there is paint by number! Pictured above is the result. Brings me such joy. What's your "I can't"? GO for it! BE creative and crafty in the "how".

From managing stress, anxiety, and PTSD to cultivating a deeper sense of inner peace and well-being, meditation can help. Meditation also helps with focus, emotional balance, and sleep.
If that's the case, why do so many people start and stop or not start at all? At Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary we believe meditation is a powerful tool in personal transformation. Often when someone comes to us to learn meditation or deepen their practice they express "fear of doing it wrong". Somehow there's an idea meditation has to be perfect, i.e.: no thoughts, distractions, emotions...even no animal friends joining us. The truth is, there is no wrong way to meditate...unless you don't do it!! Some days meditation is blissful and beautiful. Other days it isn't and out mind is racing. We do it anyway. It's the consistency of practice that yields "results". Peter and Stephanie offer private meditation sessions. Whether you are looking to create a nourishing practice that is customized for you or wanting to deepen and existing practice, we are here for you. No experience necessary. >>>Email Peter to Book. >>>Email Stephanie to Book.  Last month I spoke about dealing with anxiety.
Today I want to speak about a topic that not everyone grows up learning about: our energy body. Why? We are responsible for the energy we show up with. Clearing our energy is like taking a shower. Much better for ourselves and others when we show up "clean". As someone who experiences life as a intuitive em-path who is also highly sensitive and also a triple leo - learning how to manage my energy body has been a critical step in self mastery and my success. In other words, when I learned how to manage my emotions (energy body), I learned how to take charge of my life and manifest my dreams. Perhaps the greatest lesson I have learned is how to: STOP taking responsibility for other peoples energy/feelings/emotions START taking responsibility for my own. It's an empowering and freeing way to live. What is our energy body? The easiest way to explain the energy body is to give you an example. Have you ever walked into a room / met someone and "feel" something either wonderful or strange? That's your energy body talking to you. It's a felt "sense". Why is our energy body important? We are made of energy. As such, we are constantly receiving and sending energetic messages throughout our day. The messages we send out and receive are a result of many factors such as: our thoughts, our emotions, our physical health. On a particular day if we are feeling tired and stressed, we may be sending out this energy to others. If we are not mindful and doing our inner work not only will we send this energy out, at these times we are even more prone to absorb the energy of others. Yes, a perfect storm and that's why I am writing this!!! To support you. Selfishly it helps me too because I feel it :) Since many of us are unaware of our energy body, we don't know what to do to keep it functioning well. How does the energy body relate to anxiety? Since we are made of energy, often when we feel something, like "anxiety", our mind becomes engaged in the "story". Meaning, the mind searches for why we feel anxious. We usually want a way out of the "bad" feeling so the mind tries to come up with a solution. The mind loves finding solutions! Unfortunately, in the search for a solution we become addicted to these thoughts, of why and of story, and it has the opposite effect on us. Instead of clearing the anxiety (or quite frankly whatever energy it is - we love to label everything and sometimes it's simply the energy of excitement), we end up giving the energy more attention. Remember, whatever we give attention to grows! To make matters even more interesting, did you know that sometimes, it's not even "our" anxiety we are experiencing? Especially those of use who are sensitive (empaths), often we absorb other peoples energy, thinking it is our own. When this happens, and we think it is "our" energy, we end up creating such suffering for ourselves because we get lost in the addicted thoughts. What to do? Learn ways to manage your energy body on a consistent basis. Read about it. Take a class. Seek out people you trust who know about the energy body. Remember, even someone who practices "energy healing" can be adding to your anxiety if they aren't diligent about clearing their own energy. Be open to energy healing modalities we offer here such as chakra balancing, shamanic energy healing, and of course, meditation!
