the beauty of the pause – a sale and a story

July 1, 2012

hello, hello!

july feels like the perfect time of year to rest and relax, even if it’s just for an hour.

to that end, i was inspired to have a midsummer special on the pause. the pause is a way to rest and recharge and renew – in the comfort of your own home.

if you’ve been wanting a way to put down your to-do lists and take some time for yourself, do check it out. the special is good through the end of july.

if you’re wondering what the experience might be like, i can tell you that it will be unique to you. and, a client recently gave me permission to share her experience, so here is one person’s story.

My cardiologist wants me to take [my blood pressure readings] at different times. This morning at 3:45 am – 194/86, pulse 62. This morning at 6:15 am – 209/89, pulse 61. After the session – 174/80, pulse 52 (that sounds high to you probably. And it is. But for me it’s wonderful!)

I was very relaxed. I sat in my wicker chair with my feet on an ottoman. First I felt a very distinct warmth in my heart, then my head. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but I was glad for the breeze. Then about five or ten minutes later I just sobbed. It came from nowhere. I wasn’t sad that I knew of. But I cried and cried. It only lasted a few seconds but I cried hard. Some kind of weight or release I guess. I meditate, but have never had that happen in it. I wiped my eyes with my hands and continued to sit. I felt very heavy. At one point I think I did fall asleep, but not for long. I then felt lighter. A lightness throughout. I never felt any tingling or anything, but I did feel different. I’m forever grateful to have had this reiki healing from you.

are you in need of time to pause?

  1. LOVELY note from your client, Elizabeth… Sometimes I cry for seemingly no reason either. It can be in the middle of yoga or meditation practice, sitting outside in the sunshine–just sometime BIG washes over me, I think, and tears let it go somehow. This time of years lends itself naturally to slow-down time…I’d doing the same. ;o) Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))
