Mindfulness

Mindfulness is awareness in the present moment. Being where you are, right now, noticing breath, tension, physical sensations, thoughts and emotions. Observing them with neutrality or love, but without judgment.

Altered Perceptions

Flipping the way you view things from your style, work, relationships and what matters to you. Being open-minded as you consider energy that “is,” without putting it in the categories of “good” and “bad.”

Things are not always as they seem. “Bad” things may bring you insight and allow you to create change. “Good” things may have been good at one point but no longer serve you.

Journaling

Journaling is a writing meditation. It's a rest stop in which to dream, flow, and express yourself. Art journals do the same with images, color, and composition. Some journaling combines both imagery and words.

Sensory Experiences

This Key unlocks the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and textures along the path. It’s a journey through the senses that add sparkle to life’s experiences and deepen the memory of them.

Reduced Clutter

Clutter can exist on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual planes. When you de-clutter your life, you make room for new possibilities. We’ll “Marie Kondo” your life, only keeping what you love and what serves a purpose, on all of the planes.

Humor

Laughter is good medicine. We’ll get in touch with what makes you laugh, when you laugh, and how you can laugh more often. Laughing “with,” instead of “at,” is key.

Movement

Movement recharges your battery, enhances productivity, relieves stress from your mind and body, increases flexibility, and aids your organs in functioning at their best.

Art

Play with shapes, color, textures, and images to express yourself without a single word, if you wish. When your physical body is no longer the container for everything, the page can be filled. There are no “mistakes,” only learning.

Nature

Realign yourself with the beauty, serenity, and healing of the natural world. The term, forest bathing, comes from the Japanese phrase, shinrin-yoku, coined in 1982, by Tomohide Akiyama. The healing benefits of unplugging from technology and the stress of everyday life by returning to the woods, are well documented. There’s reverence in the sanctuary of the forest or at the base of a tree in your own backyard.

Meditation

A rest stop in life to relax, restore, regenerate and revive your tired spirit. The benefits are great and you need not sit in pretzel pose. Meditations can be experienced while sitting, writing, walking, dancing, painting, chanting, drumming, and all while breathing.
