Henna is a temporary “tattoo”. Although it’s often referred to as a tattoo, henna is really a temporary stain left by a plant-based paste. People in many cultures use it to create designs on the skin. This tradition typically celebrates joyous events like weddings, births, and victories. What's a Despacho? A Despacho is a blessing, healing, prayer offering that brings balance & harmony to a situation, individual, community, organization. Handed down to us from Andean shamans, despachos are known for creating a powerful vortex of spiritual energy that brings us into better balance with our self and others. >>>Read more here about despachos.  Our health and well-being is our greatest wealth. Energy is our #1 asset.
When we don't feel "good", it's hard to enjoy our life. We miss the moments. We deserve to be present for the moments in our life. Being present doesn't simply happen. Learning to be present is a lifelong practice. It's a practice that takes commitment. The effort is worth it. You are worth it. Right now, pause & check In. What do YOU need? Listen to your body, your mind, and your spirit. What has been trying to get your attention? Maybe you need to call a friend, speak your voice, make a request, get better sleep, or have some fun! As we approach the final few months of the year & the Holidays draw near... it's the perfect time to pause and make time to care for body, mind, and spirit. While it may feel like life is moving fast and we don't have "enough" time to get it all done...this is actually the best time to slow down and nourish ourselves. Take a pause. Grab a pen. Write a few sentences about how you want to end your year. Are you craving rest and renewal? Perhaps you want to experience more peace, joy, health, or community. Remember- where your attention goes your energy flows...and that is what you are creating. We are here to support you! Our Sanctuary offerings range from therapeutic & relaxing massage to yummy facials, meditation, uplifting energy balancing, and Soul Realignment®. Explore Your Wellness Now.  Many of us are experiencing the fatigue that comes with life -- and life transitions. With fatigue often comes other emotions that can derail us like frustration, lack of clarity...feeling disconnected and afraid.
How do we handle life and life transitions with courage, grace and curiosity? First, slow down! You might be thinking that's impossible with "so much to do". As the summer winds down we must as well. The "transitions" we and our loved ones are experiencing can be related to back to school, back to work, back to life in perhaps a "new" way. If we aren't mindful we will take on both what they are feeling in addition to what we are feeling!!! Yup, it's "a lot". As I've written about in the past, especially as it relates to "anxious energy", at times it is hard to discern what we are feeling and where / who it is coming from! In addition, times of transition and change often bring about this "anxious" energy. While it's not always pleasant, the discomfort that comes with newness and the unknown is normal! And yes, it's healthy. Rest assured, you are not alone. It is simply part of being human :) What else can we do? Embrace ways of being that return us to a state of emotional balance...also known as equanimity. As I talk about in Chapter Two of my book Reclaiming JOY, the emotional roller coaster is not sustainable and keeps us stuck. We react and often cause more turmoil. This simple practice, called BRFWA, (that we love and use often at the Sanctuary) brings us back to a relaxed state - where we focus on "being" and bring our emotions back in balance. From this place of emotional balance or equanimity, we are able to ride the emotional wave without drowning in it / losing ourselves for too long. In equanimity we find our way back to peace and clarity and perhaps even a chuckle. Once clear, we are able to take clear, focused action that keeps us on the path of peace as we move toward our goals. BRFWA Explained (Give yourself at least 3-5 minutes to experience this). Breathe: As a wave of emotion comes over you, slow down your breath. Allow your breath to flow freely in and out. Relax: As you slow down your breath, your mind and body will begin to relax. Soften your muscles, let go of mental and physical tension. Feel: As you relax, you are able to soften into what you are feeling. Stay open to the sensations and emotions moving through you in this moment. Watch: While feeling, you watch your experience closely, neither grasping what is pleasant nor pushing away what is painful. Allow: As you watch, you allow the process to unfold. You accept yourself and your experience exactly as it is, dropping the need to change it in any way. BRWFA is the practice of being present. Being present is what we learn during meditation. Looking for more support? Consider cultivating an on-going meditation practice or booking Sanctuary TLC.  Want healthy, glowing skin this summer? Focus on hydration, sun protection, and a consistent skin care routine. Getting regular facials help keep your skin nourished and glowing. Facials offer professional cleansing, exfoliating, steaming extraction, toning and moisturizing- removing toxins + oils clogging your pores for a healthier look and feel to your skin. Committing to regular facials: - Delays signs of aging - Preserves firmness and elasticity in the skin - Help you to relax - Improves blood circulation, strengthening the supportive tissues and improving the skin's resilience - Flushes out toxins through lymphatic drainage At Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary, all of our facials begin with a skin consultation to personalize your treatment plan. Get Your Glow On.  One of the self care rituals we love at the Sanctuary is taking care of our skin.
Our Deluxe Vitamin C Facial, which uses the amazing Meadow & Bark products (also loved by Oprah!) is an anti-aging facial packed with Vitamin C. Ingredients are designed to fight free radical damage for a more youthful complexion. Great for dull, uneven tone, and texture. This facial brightens, tightens, and nourishes skin as a result of the aging process, sun damage, and the environment. You won't regret it! Also, check out the new Meadow & Bark products we are carrying. Hand picked to deliver the best. All products align with our vision - non-toxic, plant based, made with LOVE, and cruelty free. We love the golden hour shimmer body oil paired with the shimmer SPF (pictured above). The oil goes on before the SPF to give you extra hydration and goddess glow. Note: this SPF protects against UVB rays (sun damage) and UVA rays (aging). >>>Book Now |
