What does it mean to "be well"?
For us it means to consistently take actions that care for body, mind, & spirit. How do we do this? Many ways. The first step is asking ourselves, what do I need? Maybe your body needs rest, nourishment, pampering. Perhaps your mind needs a new challenge! And likely your spirit longs for stillness and connection. Our services are designed to support you. Whether it's a relaxing massage, pampering facial, quieting meditation or an energy session to get clear and connect, we got you. >>>BOOK SANCTUARY NOW Valentine's Day is Friday, 2/14/25.
It's one of our favorite occasions here at the Sanctuary. Why? We love to love & Valentine's Day is a reminder of why we are here. Taking care of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self is an act of self-love that keeps on giving. From our own self-love, all other love grows. In fact, the ability to nourish ourselves first, enables us to effectively (aka without resentment) nourish others. Ways to plug into Sanctuary Love: Treat Yourself to a Sanctuary Service Enjoy the familiar or try something new! >>>View Services Give Sanctuary Love with a Gift Certificate >>>Purchase Gift Certificate I have talked about how I came to find my purpose. I shared how the discomfort of loss caused me to question life.
Discomfort comes in many forms: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial... When we are uncomfortable long enough, many of us eventually decide to try something else. Perhaps we surrender in some way. We are tired. In the fatigue, we become more willing to open ourselves, ask questions, and allow guidance to come through. It's quite a paradox - as is this life! As we surrender to the discomfort, the gifts start to emerge. I was reminded of this again. The question asked was, "what is the simplest way to receive guidance?". The answer: discomfort. Why discomfort? As humans, most of us don't like discomfort. We will do almost anything to avoid it. And yet, by avoiding it, we perpetuate it. We also lose connection to wisdom and ultimately healing when we ignore discomfort. What to do? When discomfort shows up, we can welcome it as a source of guidance. We can connect to it instead of avoid it. How? We can connect to discomfort by asking questions. For a simple example, if we are uncomfortable because we are tired, we can ask things such as: Why am I tired? Am I always tired? Does something need to change? Maybe the guidance is telling us to rest. Or perhaps we are being guided to make some other changes in our life situation. Often we have energy leaks we don't even realize. For a more complex example, if we are uncomfortable because our love partner isn't showing up in the relationship, we can ask things such as: How long has this been happening? What is going on with them? Do I need to get support? Maybe the guidance is telling us to speak up, ask, advocate. In short, to take action. Energy healing and meditation are 2 practical tools to help us navigate discomfort and tap into the guidance awaiting us. After all, if we weren't uncomfortable, nothing would change. We all have one.
The great news? You can re-write your story. You can edit it. And you CAN make your story into a joyful ending. How? 1. Let go and learn from the past. 2. Root yourself in the present. 3. Write your future into existence. We have 2 ways to help support you in the above. >>>Get an energy session with Stephanie. >>>Attend Stephanie's Living in the Now Workshop. You won't regret it. September is yet another month of transition for many of us.
Back to school, back to work. Some are experiencing an empty nest for the first time. Some are experiencing the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a way of life. Now what? With transition often comes a lot of complex and intense emotions. We may experience feeling "weird", unhinged, even afraid. We may ask, "Who Am I Now"? Inhale curiosity. Exhale control. Emotions and feeling "weird" are part of the human condition. As one of my Bikram yoga teacher says when we are in camel pose (deepest backbend of class/challenging posture), "it's normal to feel weird and weird to feel normal". Ha! Give yourself grace. We are here to support you. Our services are designed to provide sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit. Take Care of Yourself!!! >>>Book Now |
