Sometimes the week leading up to a full moon can feel a little intense.

This week I have had many patients describe some sense of tension or escalation in their bodies and minds.

If you are feeling a sense of  challenge, frustration, heavyness, irritation, or all-around Non-awesomeness, then it may be useful to make some time, to connect with yourself, and release your tension.

If you already have practical self-renewal strategies in place, then now may be a great time to put them into action.

Activities such as: Exercise, like walking, dancing, running, and yoga, or Creative expression like creative writing, music, and art, or Meditation, breathing exercises, and visualizations, can really help the body to restore its balance. Even making time to laugh can really help us to see a lighter side in more areas of our lives.

It seems that any self-care practices are especially effective with helping to restore balance, when they are practiced with the deliberate intent of nourishing and balancing your mind-body complex.  We can place positive focus or healing attention on our areas of tension,  and breathe ease into our experiences using the power of our imagination.

Maintaining a clear focus of why you are engaging in a particular self-care task, For example: A Focus of strengthening your core postural muscles, so that you are better able to support yourself, with a mindfulness that this strength and focus assists you on all levels of well-being.

This focused attention coupled with the benefits of the specific self-care activity also has the power to bring about a shift in perspective, which can ease any sense of burden, and restore the ease and gratitude we feel when we are operating in optimal balance.

If your coping strategies are not feeling adequate at the moment, or if you have some symptoms that you are having a challenging time releasing, you might be interested in booking a consultation with a holistic health consultant.

With the September & October Promotion going on, there has never been a more ideal time to learn ways to support yourself to feel good.

Today’s hhc affirmation: As I inhale a deep, slow breath, I breathe ease into my body. As I release my breath I release old patterns, and unloving beliefs. I smile at the contents of my mind. I am free.

Serving Suggestion:

Inhale a deep breath, slowly.

When you are ready, engage your breathing muscles to slowly exhale all your air. All of it.

When you are ready, inhale deeply and know that you are freely able to take in more life-breath. Notice a greater ease with taking more breath in, and releasing more complete breaths out. Feel free to smile as you notice good feelings. Feel free to smile at any thoughts you encounter.

Repeat Affirmation and breath cycle as many times as you find therapeutic, maybe start with 10 and see how that feels.
