Take your Public Speaking to the Next Level with Reiki!

Image
Most of us deal with some sort of anxiety or self-consciousness when we speak in public. It's estimated that as much as 75% of the population struggle with some level of fear when dealing with public speaking. This is unfortunate news for those of us who have to speak in front of audiences, whether it's part of our job or a cause we're passionate about, or any multitude of reasons. When these situations arise, there's no need to let that fear and discomfort get to you. Consider getting an experienced Reiki practitioner to help you out! Since Reiki (and everything else) is energy, this gives us a huge advantage when we're in situations where we could benefit from assistance, but it's unrealistic to be able to recieve a hands-on session at that very moment. This is where long-distance Reiki comes in. Clients can schedule to recieve Reiki sessions during the time that they will be speaking in public, giving a presentation, or doing anything else where they ...

Boosting your Healing Response with Reiki

Image
There is still so much mystery around Reiki and the amazing benefits that come with it. The core fact to keep in mind is that when our life energy is flowing freely and our body is in a relaxed state, our health and wellness can improve. The daily stresses that we all face make sustaining a relaxed state very challenging. By getting regular Reiki sessions, we can ensure that we are enabling our body to maintain that state that benefits us the most. When our bodies are in a relaxed state, all of our systems can function at an optimal level and these are tangible and undeniable results. Take this article  for instance: "The multileveled, rapid response to Reiki suggests a complex process that engages many body systems, simultaneously or in quick succession, shifting the body from domination by the "fight or flight" (stress) response to the relaxation response, and supporting the body's own healing mechanisms." So, when we are doing all of the t...

With the weather cooling down, these are a perfect treat for the whole family! You can customize them in so many ways and they are kid-approved, healthy deliciousness.   You will need a dehydrator for this recipe or a warmer drawer on your oven.

Slice bananas lengthwise into thirds and dehydrate until soft and pliable. 2. While bananas are dehydrating blend remaining ingredients until smooth. 3.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped walnuts. You can also sprinkle with nutmeg, add shredded coconut...

Do You Truly Experience Your Food?

Image
In this day and age, many of us have lives so demanding that we have become accustomed to rushing. One common sacrifice is the act of savoring our food. To consume anything at all some days is sadly considered a victory. Meals are one of the most primary functions that we achieve throughout the day. How we approach them says a lot about our personalities. If we treat meals as an inconvenience or something that merits little more than an afterthought, then we are telling ourselves that we are not worth the effort. We are stifling our own importance. We must love ourselves enough to savor our meals. We all deserve to have the time to experience our food. Interesting things happen when we do this. Our taste buds may change. We realize that certain foods taste differently when we take the time to chew. Slow eating also leads to better digestion and becoming full from less food. To truly savor your meals, start in the kitchen by savoring the various aromas. Allow your anticipati...
