 Holistic modalities have the common understanding that the mind, body and spirit interact with each other and are integrally linked in our sense of well-being. All aspects of your being work in partnership for your highest good.

During a Yin Yoga session poses are held for a longer period of time in order to benefit, stretch and open the deeper muscles and fascia. Fascia alone needs a minimum of 90 to 120 seconds to begin to release during a stretch. Taking time to allow the fascia to stretch is essential to maintaining flexibility, range of motion and overall holistic well-being.
 The "sigh" is something I wait for, and eventually, in every holistic session, it comes. That is when I know that a client has shifted to allowing the holistic session to work with them on all levels (mind, body and spirit) The human sigh, while often a spontaneous occurrence, conveys a wide range of emotions and has an abundance of holistically healthy benefits. Our breathe impacts our emotional and physical state and the sigh can encourage a state of balance.
Anxiety & Taking Care of You in the Moment  Our mind/body connection is never more obvious than when we’re in a state of anxiety. Fear driven thoughts may bring forward a biochemical response in your body (fast pulse, dry mouth, nausea, shallow breathing, dizziness). Your mind views these symptoms as evidence that something is definitely wrong.
Developing grounding and mindful movement “tricks” may help to reduce anxiety and more quickly bring you to a physical and emotional state of calmness. Practicing some of these, while not in a state of anxiety, may help you to more quickly remember these tips when you feel anxiety coming on. |
