Last weekend I decided to Go Out on a Limb to Get to the Fruit. Escaping SW Florida heat into the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina to a Power Yoga Summit with Travis Eliott and his wife/partner Lauren Eckstrom of Inner Dimension. I first hesitated knowing it would be super intense, packed with challenging practices for 4 days. But I went for it and my true grit kicked
To be honest, my head spins like electrons spinning around a nucleus and photons in an atom when I think of how quantum physics works. Like most things, I get the basics and accept from personal experiences for over 30 years, energy healing works. As a holistic nurse in some capacity for over 40 years, I favor preventive and non-invasive methods as a first line of defense for optimal health,
Kirtan is singing with intention and devotion, also known as Bhakti yoga. The lyrics are known as mantras which are chanted like a song or hymn, and usually accompanied with musical instruments. Japa meditation is repetition of the mantras. Last Thursday after a busy day, I missed my Win for Wellness activity so decided to slip in a webinar to check the daily box.

Truth be told, I lacked discipline all my life. I always commit to fancy free and fun, procrastinating otherwise. If something doesn’t interest me (taxes) but is important, it’s on my back burner, causing me more stress as it lingers over my head. I get distracted with other to-do’s.

I feel good, like I knew that I would! I can hear James Brown now as I I am off to a good start, determined to follow through with my commitment to regain my momentum in August on our Journey into Winning with Wellness. I lacked motivation with summer heat and recharging after a busy season. So, I created the August Win with Wellness to jumpstart me again, and maybe you too. Starting fresh on Thursday the 1st
August is a time that seems to take me off track of my usual healthy routines. Maybe it’s the heat or the old patterns of wrapping up summer plans. So, I am starting my 30 Day Wellness Winner ~ August Activities plan to motivate me to reboot and keep my momentum for what makes me feel best. Every time I see something that says 30 Day Challenge I cringe, feeling
In May we honor our maternal mentors and caregivers with Mother’s Day. In June we recognize the positive, masculine influences in our lives. The necessary Yang Energy Forces to balance our more feminine Yin. Father’s Day began in Washington state in 1910 when a young woman wanted to honor her veteran father, a single parent of 6 children. In 1972 it become a nationwide holiday, 58 years after Mother’s Day was established in 1914.
Balance Asanas are a standard practice in most yoga classes. The transitions and opportunities to find ourselves taking flight on either one leg, one arm or maybe even no legs will challenge our brains. We often focus on body strength, but your brain gets a work out, too! Balancing requires great mental acuity. We must release external and mental distractions, stabilize our energy locks from the ground upward, find a focal point
Vintage throwback my first year at Fusion practicing each with 2 sister-students, Melissa and Sara What does being a Warrior mean to you? Fiercely Focused, Powerfully Peaceful, Passionate and Purposeful, Inspiringly Influential, Super Strong, Divinely Driven, Boldy Brave…pick your Warrior name you wish to create for the Warrior in you.

Spring or Vernal Equinox is Wednesday as our sun passes over our earth’s equator creating equal day and night. Sunrise is due east, sunset due west. Our daylight time becomes longer, our weather warms, our plants and flowers flourish and our bees thrive with the hive! Our pollinator bumblebee is necessary for plant life, therapeutic honey production. The vibration of their wings, up to 130 times per second, spreads the pollen
