Thoughts & Emotions

Every thought and feeling we experience has an impact on our physical body.

• That feeling you get when you meet a new friend and you just know your going to hit it off

• The terror you feel while watching a scary movie

• The shows you watch on tv, the images on Facebook, Insta, Tic Tok, the news

• The music you listen to

All have a direct impact on your brain chemistry

Many of the images in our world today invoke the Fight or Flight response causing us to live in a constant state of stress.

All of this stress can get trapped in the bodies energy centers causing energy blockages and imbalances.

Our bodies are filled with an invisible life force, energy or chi. This energy can get blocked in the body. Energy work supports the clearing of stuck emotions and energies.

Energy Centers within the body called CHAKRAS hold all the memories and emotions of life. The CHAKRAS hold the subconscious mind. Here are some signs you may need to balance your chakras.

Focus on what matters

Research shows in an office setting we are interrupted every 12 minutes. In real life I believe its more like every 12 seconds but whos counting?

• Distractions are a way of life with a smart phone in hand.

• Focus comes from 2 mechanisms “enhancement”- ability to focus and “suppression”- ability to ignore

• Regaining focus is possible through mindful moments, slowing down, eating right and living a balanced life.

• Neuroplasticity is your brain learning and changing. The physical structure changes based on what you think, feel, choose, eat and more. As you think, feel and make decisions you express quantum energy waves through the brain which responds electromagnetically and chemically.

• It takes 21 days to break down old thought patterns and learn a new habit

• It takes 63 days to change the neuroplasticity of your brain -mindbodygreen.com

• Just for Today

  Time is a construct of the human mind. By living in the moment, just for today, you can release your anxiety about the future and release your regrets from the past.

• Breath Work

  By changing the pattern of your breath, you affect your nervous system

  1. Shift your awareness to your body.

  Sit in a chair with your feet on the floor and your hands placed gently in your lap. Soften your gaze and breathe with your natural rhythm. Begin to observe the movement of your breath in and out of your body.

  2. Ground into the earth.

  Feel the chair beneath you. Imagine roots growing down through the bottoms of your feet, deep into the earth.

  3. Lengthen your exhale.

  Now begin to extend your exhale by one or two counts. Continue breathing with an extended exhale for one to three minutes to shift into the parasympathetic state. By extending the exhale, you're tapping into the power of the calming effect of the breath.
