 You deserve to feel peaceful, supported, and well. Much human suffering comes from being "here", in the present, and wanting to be "there", in the past or the future. 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. Why do we endure the suffering that comes from being "here", in the present, and wanting to be "there", in the past or the future? Many reasons: Attachment, illusion that when we get "there" it will be "better", control, fear, conditioning, lack of faith, and misunderstanding to name a few. 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. When you act in alignment with your divine nature, you rejuvenate your soul. What practices support being here now & releasing the past? We are your trusted partner in healing and renewal.  Isn't it time for whole body renewal?
True healing is more than physical — it’s emotional, mental, and spiritual. At Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary, we believe in caring for the whole you. That’s why our holistic healing services are thoughtfully designed to bring balance, clarity, and deep inner peace. Why don't many of us take the time for renewal? For many, "doing" takes precedence over "being". Why? Several reasons. Learned behavior, expectations, our devices, the noisy mind, and beliefs that we don't think we are worthy. We resist connecting to our being. At some point, we get tired of resisting and surrender. Sometimes we surrender on our own. Other times, we are forced to surrender (think "crisis"). Whatever you are experiencing, when you make time to "be", you renew body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're feeling burnt out, emotionally drained, or simply seeking more harmony in your life, our approach goes beyond traditional wellness. We blend ancient wisdom with modern techniques to guide you back to your natural state of well-being. Our offerings include holistic energy therapies like Reiki, Shamanic energy healing, chakra balancing, and guided meditation. These gentle yet powerful methods support the body’s energy flow, helping you release stress, improve focus, nourish and reconnect with your inner self.  "Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life." -Rumi
When we focus on what is working in our life, and we are grateful for it -- we gain the energy to do more of that...and less of what isn't...think self-care 101 :) Having a daily gratitude practice is a powerful way to shift energy and open the pathways to receive... Here’s a simple 2 step gratitude meditation: 1. Invest a few minutes at the start and/or end of your day writing what you’re grateful for. Be sure to write them down. For example: What great things will happen/ have happened today? What are you thankful for in your life right NOW? Who are you thankful for? Why? Maybe you are grateful for your morning cup of coffee, a hug from a loved one or furry friend, even hitting only green lights on the way to work. It doesn’t matter how big or small; find as many things as you can to be grateful for and write them down. 2. Next, as you read the list, feel in your body NOW the experience of gratitude. Maybe it feels open, expansive, joyful. Set a timer for 2 minutes. Continue focusing on these feelings during your 2 minute meditation. Practicing gratitude will make you healthier and happier, and it will be easier to focus on what’s good rather than what’s not working in your life. Gratitude is the ultimate form of receivership.

I have always been curious about human nature, and in particular my "tendencies ". When I started my meditation practice 26 years ago, my intention was to learn about myself. I wanted to learn how to quiet the mental noise - both my own, as well as the world around me. I wanted to live a healthy, balanced life that I didn't need a vacation from, so to speak. 26 years later, I can say the practice of meditation, and learning about myself, has only grown stronger. To me, meditation is not a chore. It's a privilege and a necessity. When I feel "stressed" is when I need meditation the most. And paradoxically, it is often in those stressful moments that I want to make excuses like, "I don't have the time or the desire". I've learned to overcome my mind and sit in meditation, regardless of what is going on. 100% of the time, I think better, feel better, and act better. Mostly I feel calmer and clearer after meditation. Why is this important? When we are calm, life flows better. Why? Energy alignment. A tense body and stressed mind emits that energy. In doing so, we attract more of that energy. When we are calm, we attract calm. We are better able to access intuition, make aligned choices, and receive. In this brief (9 minute) guided meditation, I guide you back to calm. Please enjoy here. XO, Stephanie  I get this question often. Is meditation healing?
The short answer is no. The longer answer is yes. How so? A little background first. I had the privilege of attending a 7 day retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza last week. It's difficult to put into the words the incredible transformative experience that took place. The days were long, about 14-16 hours/day. We spent about 5-8 hours/day in meditation exploring the quantum field and learning how to bring the experience we want to us. The rest of the time was spent learning, sharing, and allowing space for healing to happen. As someone who has been meditating for 26 years, I was humbled by what I learned as I explored other meditation "techniques" and longer meditation periods. I came away with many golden nuggets and an answer to a question many people ask: Is meditation healing? The short answer is no. The longer answer is yes. How so? When we fully commit to daily meditation, we change on all levels: body, mind, and spirit. As we change, we heal. What changes? EVERYTHING. Our body, our mind, our emotional state, our life, ALL OF IT. Meditation is a powerful catalyst to help bring awareness to our life. Awareness is the first step to change. We become aware of what we no longer want, and replace it with what we want instead. We learn how to focus our attention, energy, thoughts, feelings, and actions on the outcome we desire. When we change our thoughts, feelings, and actions, we change our life. When we change our life, we heal. Is meditation healing? I would say yes, when we use meditation to show us where we want to go (thought/feelings), and then we go for it (action)! No awareness, no change, no healing. Note: You do not have to meditate 5 hours/day. I have noticed my sweet spot is about one hour/day. I used to meditate 20 minutes/day. After this experience, 20 minutes is no longer long enough. The alarm clock goes off earlier now, and I have more energy, focus, and clarity than ever. Connect with me here if you want to share your meditation experience and/or you are looking for support.
