Massage Magic for Your Muscles!!! Why We Love Hot Stone Massage Smooth, healing, heat-retaining stones are used to soften and relax the muscles, allowing the therapist to melt your tension away without the pressure of deep tissue.

At the Sanctuary, we think of our body as the vehicle which supports our total well being. In particular, physical well being is a cornerstone to living well and enjoying our life. Summer comes with a surge of outdoor activities: tennis, pickle ball, biking, jogging, swimming, hiking, volleyball, golf, paddle boarding... Great for your health? Yes! However, when taken on by storm, they often come with a price: think tennis elbow, shin splints, back pain… Massage can help. Tennis elbow, for instance, (a form of tendonitis caused by repetitive and stressful use of the tendons and muscles of the wrist) is helped by increasing blood flow to the area. Shin splints (brought on by overuse of weak leg muscles or ill-fitting shoes) are greatly relieved by massage on not only the leg, but the feet and ankles as well. Then again, the fact that it’s summer is the only reason you need to book a massage! Think self care. Our favorite, 90 Minute Deep Tissue/Sports Massage! We also offer a range of relaxing massage and specialty bodywork. >>>Book Now 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! |
