As a non essential small business in Ontario preparing for a mandatory shutdown starting on Dec 26th of my holistic treatments, I am scrambling to reach out to ...clients and reschedule their appointments for late January and into February. I still use a paper calender and this is the quote for January 2021! How fitting.

This is interesting...

**12/22/2020 update** Many wrote to share the author with me- THANK YOU! Kate Scott wrote this beautiful piece. Read her original post on Quora: https://www.q...uora.com/Has-a-therapist-ever-t//Kate-Scott-6 Kate, you're a gifted writer! Let me know if you prefer I remove my post. (Sorry for delay - all your messages loaded into my 'other' folder in Messenger. Just now found them!) RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE. "When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn’t get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by. I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn’t have much to ‘bring’ to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say. What are you struggling with? he asked. I gestured around me and said I dunno man. Life. Not satisfied with my answer, he said No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you? I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn’t want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial. Something more profound. But I didn’t. So I told him, "Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN’T do them because I’ll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can’t stand and scrub the dishes. I felt like an idiot even saying it. What kind of grown-ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I’m whining to my therapist about dishes? But, my therapist nodded in understanding and then said: RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE. I began to tell him that you’re not supposed to, but he stopped me. Why the hell aren’t you supposed to? If you don’t want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist, so stop giving yourself rules. It blew my mind in a way that I don’t think I can properly express. That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times. I felt like I had conquered a dragon. The next day, I took a shower lying down. A few days later, I folded my laundry and put it wherever the fuck they fit. There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again. Now that I’m in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry. But, at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson: THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

Siberian Fir essential oil was part of the BOGO specials last week. I myself am partial to the tree oils and find them VERY relaxing. Like a stroll through a mountain forest, Siberian Fir essential oil promotes relaxation and eases the symptoms of stress. The scent of this oil helps calm the nerves and soothe anxious feelings. Siberian Fir is a good oil to use during times of change or upheaval. Siberian Fir essential oil has a unique chemical composition that is predominately bornyl acetate, which provides a majority of the calming benefits of this essential oil. Inhaling bornyl acetate may promote relaxation and reduce stimulation during stressful situations.

One of the therapies I offer at the Studio Wellness Clinic is a technique called AromaTouch. It is the application of different essential oils that create a bond between the client and the clinician. This is something you can easily do at home with your partner or your children. The aroma touch hand technique is easy to administer. Watch this 2-minute video on how to do it. Then have someone learn the technique and offer you a treatment! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vez2mCuA89A

There are times as a wellness practitioner that the world just feels heavy and out of control. Technology doesnt work the way you hoped it would, clients issues sit heavy in your heart and just day to day responisbilites seem overwheming. In these moments I will take the time to become my own best client. I will sit quietly in the therapy chair and look at the advice I give and display for my my clients. The word BREATHE is in front of me and I take a moment.... The diplomas on the wall remind me that I can use my talents on myself and I sit and gift myself some Reiki or Healing Touch. The diffuser on the table remind me to add a calming essential oil to help me manage the unrest. We need to be present for oursleves and then we will have energy to share for others. Take care of yourself. These are trying times and you deserve a moment or two for self care. I know I do!

A doctors perspective worth reading

Something to think about and not too hard to try.

Here are just a few of the many, many ways Lemon essential oil can makeyour life better and easier! What’s your favorite way to use Lemon?

You have been forced to enter empty time. The desire that drove you has relinquished. There is nothing else to do now but rest And patiently learn to receive the self You have forsaken for the race of days.... At first your thinking will darken And sadness take over like listless weather. The flow of unwept tears will frighten you. You have traveled too fast over false ground; Now your soul has come to take you back. Take refuge in your senses, open up To all the small miracles you rushed through. Become inclined to watch the way of rain When it falls slow and free. Imitate the habit of twilight, Taking time to open the well of color That fostered the brightness of day. Draw alongside the silence of stone Until its calmness can claim you. Be excessively gentle with yourself. Stay clear of those vexed in spirit. Learn to linger around someone of ease Who feels they have all the time in the world. Gradually, you will return to yourself, Having learned a new respect for your heart And the joy that dwells far within slow time. ~ John O'Donohue, "For One Who Is Exhausted, a Blessing."
