We are committed to supporting your peace of mind and ease as we journey through this time together—there are so many solid, holistic, healing products and options available. It begins with calm diligence and mindfulness in choices and actions, and we are here to assist you in finding the best and most realistic ways to balance energy reserves, maintain optimal nutrition, move your body and fill your spirit so that your immunity system remains strong and vital.

It is a unique opportunity to consider our connections, our place in the world and community and those friends and family that typically gather in various ways, as the need to minimize actual physical and social contact has become increasingly necessary. The responsibility to ourselves and others has called for creative ways to care for and keep in touch with each other—we highly encourage you to utilize the virtual world of social media for ongoing communications and for keeping up to date on the current situation, as we all continue to make mindful choices on reliable sources of information and support. Our website, Facebook page, Instagram, newsletter and digital magazine, along with our print magazine, will all remain available and as always, we are only an email or phone call away. Our amazing community of practitioners and businesses have adapted their services to meet the current needs in various ways, such as online classes and workshops, online private sessions, healthy foods for takeout meals and distance reiki.

We suggest that you spend time in nature every day, sitting near an open window if a walk or bike ride isn’t possible. Birdsong and spring breezes refresh the senses, offering restoration for mind, body and spirit. Take time to explore... the books on your bedside table may take you on a journey to new lands or provide a new way of thinking about things. Engage your creativity by pulling out paper and paints, pencils and crayons or needles and yarn. You might try a new healthy recipe.

Perhaps there is a story inside of you waiting to be written. Pick up the phone, touch base often with loved ones and friends old and new. Reconnect with people you miss. Say what needs to be said; I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you. Take care of each other. Take care of you.

Together, we set positive intentions and envision a coming time of more certainty and stability. Remember, your breath remains an anchor to keep you calm and steady, and your heart holds a deep intelligence for navigating those moments where you may need a few minutes to regroup. We look forward to staying in touch and hold all of you in this community’s ever-growing embrace of wellness.
