Are You Here Now?
Being here now means you are present with what is here, RIGHT NOW. You are not in the past. You are not in the future. You are firmly rooted in the present moment. You accept what is, even if you wish certain things to be different. Remember, nothing changes until you accept. Then you will be free to act. Much human suffering comes from being "here", in the present, and wanting to be "there", in the past or the future. Why do you do this? Attachment, illusion, control, fear, conditioning, lack of faith... For today, can you be here now? Are you willing to invest 100% of your attention (thoughts/words/deeds) to being with what is? I promise you this. When you root yourself in the present, you will have the capacity to be still, listen, and then act in alignment with your divine nature. What practices support being here now & releasing the past? Yoga, meditation, energy healing, writing, slowing down, creating space... 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 Summer Self Care
Nourish Body, Mind & Spirit Summer is the perfect time to notice where you need to be "fed", aka, practice self care. Nobody can do this for us. If we don't do this for ourselves, we risk becoming resentful, contracted, and unhappy! We must feed (give to) ourselves in order to feed (give to) others. We are in charge of our own happiness and this includes on going self care. Give yourself permission to do what makes you feel good. You're worth it.

As a proud graduate of IIN, almost 15 years ago now, anytime Joshua hosts a live event, I know it's going to be magical. Some of you may recall my days of health/nutrition coaching when we first opened Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary in 2011. While I still implement so much of what I learned, I am now focused on raising consciousness and empowerment through my energy healing and mentoring offerings. I like to go deep, fast and get to the root of things so we don't waste time in suffering.
Back to this weekend. The conference was intended to bring together healers to support them. After all, who supports the ones who are caregiving to everyone else? Caregivers are a large group. They are everyone from healers to wellness workers, therapists, nurses, doctors, and those giving to children, elders, loved ones, to name a few. The conference coincided with Joshua's new book, Heal the Healer, A Self-care Guide for Wellness Workers & Caregivers. As true to Joshua form, we all received healing this weekend! As always, it took many forms from meeting like minded people, building a strong community, doing chakra clearing exercises, paired sharing, dancing, massage, hearing fantastic presenters, and discussing ways to make philanthropy more a part of our lives. My biggest takeaway: many people are tired, burnt out, and lack the tools to stay healthy, happy, and balanced. What are the tools? Many! -Setting boundaries -Overcoming childhood wounds -Energy protection techniques & clearing -Staying connected to community -Work-Life balance -Knowing your larger purpose All of these tools help those who give so much to refill their tank. When we re-fill, we are able to give so much more and to do so with a happy, healthy, open, and loving heart. If you know someone who could benefit from learning these tools, please share the book, and by all means share my contact with them. I love helping people in the healing profession. Time goes fast. Let's not waste it by suffering unnecessarily. We got this! Stephanie "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." -Joseph Campbell
Mastering relationship with others is strength. Mastering relationship with self is power. Often I am struck by how much time & energy we waste on trying to: -get others to believe/think/do what we want -control others -judge others We spend so much time on "other". Why? Many reasons. I believe it's mostly because we want to feel loved and love. Somewhere we learned (erroneously!) in order to love and be loved we have to control. In fact, the opposite is true. Perhaps we think focusing on other keeps us "safe" from having to face ourselves and take responsibility for who we are. It's an illusion! I think we struggle with this because we feel guilt, shame & judge ourselves. We can't give to another what we don't first give to ourself. The remedy? Learn how to master self - our beliefs (it all starts here!), thoughts, emotions, words, and deeds. How? Know thyself - dig deep Love thyself - forgive thyself Be thyself - show up authentically I would say mastering self + being ourselves is true power - and the privilege of a lifetime. Sanctuary tools for support? Meditation, energy healing... >>>View Services |
