Happy Tuesday!
 
 
I purchased another crystal....
I had a great time with my friend who came to visit two weeks ago and remember I said I was going to Sacred Circle, this awesome new age store in Long Branch? And I'd let you know if I ended up making a purchase? Well, I was pulled toward this agate crystal point - once I held it in my hand, yep, you guessed it - I had to get it. It's really pretty too. :)
 
I also completed Reiki 2...
I took Reiki 2 last Sunday with Master Level Reiki Practitioner and teacher, Suzanne Bird. I really enjoyed it and feel that Reiki will make such a difference in many areas of my life, especially the stressful ones! And now I can incorporate it into my holistic therapies with my clients too.

Stressed Out? Four Ways To Beat It.
~ by Lynn Smith
 


After rolling over to look at the clock, you realize you overslept.
Now you're late. It's out the door and on the freeway. Traffic is
crawling. In the midst of bumper to bumper traffic you spill coffee
in your lap. What an awful start to your day. By the time you walk
in the door at work your neck and shoulders are tight and a
headache is coming on.

Stress...we all feel it. We know it's bad for us. In fact, stress has
been linked to high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, insomnia
and headaches.

Wouldn't it be great to have a "time out" button? Just like the
Staples Easy Button on the commercials. Push the button and the
world leaves you alone for ten minutes. What a great idea! But
since that won't be happening any time soon, how can we handle
stress? How can we take a bad day and turn it around?

First, we need to realize that stress is not the circumstance we
are in, but it is our body's response to the circumstance. That's
why two people can both get cut off in traffic, one starts yelling
and screaming and the other one is unfazed. Each person's body
reacted differently. We can learn to change our reaction. When we
feel ourselves getting stressed, instead of dwelling on it, try
some of these ideas and see if you feel calmer.

Music - Music has a physiological effect. If you're stuck in
traffic, turn on the radio or pop in a CD. I know this sounds quite
simplistic, but I've used it and it works.

Quiet Time - An uninterrupted ten minutes works wonders. Turn off
the phone. Get away from the computer. Make yourself inaccessible
for those ten minutes. It's amazing how the stress can melt away
when you know nobody is going to bother you.

Breathe - Long, slow, deep breaths help lower heart rate and
adrenaline and cortisol levels. A few minutes of that creates a
physical change that relaxes us.

Exercise - Don't forget the benefits of exercise. And it doesn't
have to be intense exercise. A 15 minute walk can have powerful
effect on our ability to handle stress.

If your job is contributing to the stress in your life, try using
your coffee break as a stress management tool. Use that time to
take a walk. Not only will you see health benefits, you'll notice
an increased ability to handle those stressful situations and
you'll feel more inner calm.

Stress doesn't have to get the better of us. We can make a
conscious choice to react differently. Try it for yourself.
