Just Breathe …

Promoting Optimal Wellness for Mind, Body and Spirit

Feeling overwhelmed or worried? Breathe …, and experience the calmness and release of tension. The simple act of breathing can slow us down physically and mentally and allow us to be more present in this moment.

Meditation becomes as simple as following the breath; a form of mindfulness.

Mindful breathing can be done quickly and easily and offers positive physiologic and behavioral benefits. Benefits include decreased blood pressure, decreased stress, relief of tension (emotional and physical,) improve memory, focus and attention, improved mood, increased immune response, improved relationships, increased empathy and compassion.According to the American Psychological Association, 75% of people regularly experience physical symptoms of stress. Mindfulness meditation, breathing and other forms of relaxation can elicit the relaxation response and decrease symptoms of stress.

One study concluded that carrying out a simple mindful breathing meditation for an average of only 10 minutes per day for a period of 16-weeks improved neural functioning that is indicative of improved focused attention. Just Breath ….

Remember, in this face-paced world of high technology it is important to take time for yourself, slow down and enjoy life more.

Get up and move…

Get up and move

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC knows exercise improves the circulation of blood, which transports oxygen and nutrients to every cell.

If you do not have enough movement your metabolism slows and becomes inefficient, causing poor digestion and elimination. Our minds become foggy.

So start today…”Get up and move”

Are you present when you eat?
by

Are you present when you eat?

When was the last time you pulled out a chair at your table and enjoyed your meal? Can’t recall?

Are you experiencing gas, heartburn or indigestion? Through the lens of Ayurveda it is not so much about what you eat as it is to being mindful (present) when you eat.

Ayurveda Wellness Healing has a few tips to help you get back on track and to view food as medicine…

~ Stop
~ Breath
~ Prepare foods that are in season
~ Use spices to help your digestive fires
~ Set the table
~ Turn off all electronics
~ Eat your heaviest meal between 12 – 2 pm
~ Smile

You are not what you eat but what you digest and that includes your site and hearing.

Crystal Grid Journey ~

We are thrilled to welcome back multi master healer, Sue Ustas of ZuZu’s Healing Arts, Inc!

Come settle in our sacred space and allow yourself to be immersed in the healing energies of a beautiful crystal grid, then guided on a meditative crystalline journey for healing and spiritual evolution. The experience is a deeply relaxing one, and can help shift your personal vibration to a higher resonant frequency, resulting in deeper sleep, better overall health, and spiritual awakening/evolution.

Sue Ustas first began having Psychic experiences as a teenager, which led her to pursue her natural abilities through countless books, classes and teachings. She studied Mediumship and Healing at the Greater Boston Church of Spiritualism, but her first love was always Crystals. She had collected rocks, stones and crystals as a child at every beach, river and wooded area she found herself near, always appreciating the magic in nature. In 2002, she began creating beaded jewelry with natural gemstones and thus began the official start of ZuZu’s Healing Arts, Inc. Currently she owns and operates ZuZu’s, is a Psychic, Medium, Channel, Writer, Level 3 Reiki practitioner, Level 3 Melchizedek practitioner and self-proclaimed “Crystal Goddess”. She offers classes, workshops, meditations, readings, in-store events and two large Holistic Expos annually.

Sue will have a large collection of her cyrstals set up and available for sale.
