Self-Care Mini-Retreats: Taking Control of Your Thoughts
While all of us are pretty aware of our external surroundings, our more intimate internal landscape remains dark. Yet, it is this environment that colors our perceptions, our experiences, our very lives. Basically, our inner state can be broken down into two simple categories—one based on fear and one based on love.

We would like to introduce our community to Torri Shafer. Torri is a good friend of ours and a great massage therapist. She has published “Romancing the Soul”, a wonderful book focusing on self-care and love. It is a collection of 24 mini-retreats arranged by the seasons; each month, there are two retreats, complete with a meditation, mindful walk, journaling prompt and at-home spa treatment. For our latest blog series, we’ll be posting some excerpts in a new blog. We hope you will enjoy these breaks from the mundane to focus on the most important person in the world: you.

Sleep Series – Part 2: Sleep Disturbances and Practical Solutions
Today, we’ll look at sleep disturbances and some practical solutions. The stressors of the pandemic: job losses, disrupted schedules and closed schools, have kept record numbers of Americans up at night or unable to wake up in the morning. As many as 2 in 3 Americans reported getting either too much or too little sleep…..
What is Neuroplasticity?
Simply put, neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change its structure and rewire its connections, making them stronger or weaker, depending on what’s happening at any given moment. It is influenced by age, genetics, nutrition, and our environment. Most of us were taught that the human brain stops making new cells and that new connections between cells are nearly impossible to create after a certain (young) age. Current evidence indicates that certain areas of the adult brain do generate new cells.
Calm Your Mind
According to a recent study published in Nature, 42% of Americans (sample size 2,036) reported experiencing more anxiety than they did before the pandemic.
Not tending to chronic stress can lead to digestive issues and headaches and is linked to a higher risk of anxiety, depression and heart disease. If your coping mechanisms aren’t cutting it and you’re looking for practical new ways to ease your unease, consider de-stressing by calming your mind. Simple meditative techniques can be practiced anywhere at anytime.
What Are Circadian Rhythms?
A circadian rhythm or circadian cycle, is a natural, internal process that regulates the physical, mental, and behavioral sleep–wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. These natural processes respond primarily to light and dark and affect most living things, including animals, plants, and microbes.
