body work.

Good morning!

As many of you know, we are in the midst of our New Year 10 Day Experience which is a cleanse of sorts rooted in a regular yoga practice, unprocessed, clean food, lots of water, a daily stillness practice, the practice of giving, gratitude and mantra. It’s really 7 practices that lead you to feeling better!

As part of our 10 days, one day is dedicated to some sort of restoration and relaxation. It could be as simple as a hot bath with epsom salts or as involved as going to get body work (sound baths, acupuncture, massage, reiki, cupping, etc). As I lead The Experiencers, I sadly often skip this day (not proud of) or I try to go see my amazing acupuncturist. But this time around I was determined to do something really indulgent for my body, mind and spirit.

I had a gift certificate for a massage that a close friend gave me for my birthday back in October and I decided this was the time to use it! I share this because it is easy to forget how healing it is to be in the presence of great body worker and to set aside time to do something profoundly restorative for ourselves.

My massage was incredible and I felt so energized and at the same time relaxed when I left. Mostly, I felt good that I carved out time to do something truly restorative for myself. What a gift!

The therapist, Tres Armour (216-393-7958) is an intuitive and highly trained Licensed Massage Therapist. His space in Lakewood is quiet, relaxed, warm and so inviting. If you are looking for a way to turn inward and care for yourself, getting a massage is wonderful option.

There are so many ways to heal ourselves. Yoga, food, water, breathing, stillness, laughter, outdoors, giving, gratitude, sleep, aromatherapy, etc. Massage is another!

Hope to see you all on the mat soon!

Warmly,
Tammy
