Percolations Brewing Within
The best thOTs are those which are slowly percolated.
What if we choose LOVE?
It is no secret that the principles of Zero Balancing (ZB) and Insight Acupressure have profoundly shaped my life. What began as a journey into mind-body therapy has evolved into a lens through which I view the world. Concepts such as meeting people where they are (interface), holding others in high regard, and working at the intersection of energy and structure extend far beyond bodywork. At the heart of it all is Love and our universal need to love and be loved.
The Art of Self-Care
What does it mean to care deeply for your whole self? What messages do you notice within your body, mind, emotions and soul? In our busy world, self-care is more than a trendy phrase; it is a vital practice for restoring balance, inner peace, and conscious awareness. Self-care is the core from which we offer our best to others. It begins with small, intentional pauses throughout your day.
The Gift of Connection and Ritual
This winter season naturally invites us to pause between the rush of daily routines and instead lean into the simple rituals that help us feel grounded and connected. Our sensory experiences are often the doorway into these memories and moments of reconnection.These sensory experiences invite us to slow down. They anchor us in our bodies, open our hearts, and awaken the quiet joy that lives beneath the surface of daily responsibilities.
Understanding Expanded States of Consciousness
Have you ever noticed how your mind feels after deep meditation, a quiet moment of stillness at the end of yoga, or the state of relaxation during a Zero Balancing session? That sense of openness, timelessness, and inner peace is part of what researchers call altered or expanded states of consciousness.
