reiki clinic today
I had quite a turnout at my reiki clinic today - turns out there was a little blurb published in the Boston Globe Sidekick yesterday recommending it!
If the rest of your weekend entertainment efforts fail to relax you, Union Square Acupuncture might be able to help. It's offering a low-cost Reiki clinic for stress reduction and wellness on the first Sunday of every month from 1 to 3 p.m. It's $10 for a 15-minute session of this traditional Japanese therapy, which has something to do with the flow of "life energy." Call for reservations. Union Square Acupuncture, 21 Bow St., Somerville, 617-718-7555.

Your energy diet
Have you every noticed a difference in how you feel after eating junk or deep fried food compared to eating nutrient rich whole foods? I bet most of you have noticed that you feel more energized, focused and have more stamina after eating nourishing foods, and that you're more tired, maybe even lethargic, after eating foods that don't provide built in fuel for digestion. Just like food, the energetic "food" in your environment can either nourish or deplete you.
As energetic beings, we absorb a lot from our environment whether we are aware of it or not. Environmental diets consist of "foods" such as noises, smells, visual impressions, rays from technological devices (televisions, cell phone, lap tops, microwaves, etc...) and power lines, sensations on our skin from air, fabric, temperature, and emotions and moods from people around us, and much much more.
Have you ever thought about your daily environmental diet and whether it nourishes or depletes you? I invite you to pay attention this week to the "food" in your environmental diet and think about whether it has a positive or negative impact on you.
Right now, I'm listening to a recording of Mozart against a backdrop of ocean waves while working in my peaceful studio overlooking a garden. Can you see birds and trees outside your window too or are you looking at the drab gray walls of your cubicle? Is the background noise soothing or is there loud construction noise in the background or many people talking all around you in the office as you try to focus? Have you encountered someone cranky today and taken some of that mood with you? What else do you notice?

Take a break!
When I was in high school, my favorite English teacher told me that the key to producing an "A" essay paper was to stop working once an hour for a 1-5 minute break to rest my mind and engage my body. She encouraged me to stretch, go outside or simply close my eyes and take a deep breath. Another teacher encouraged me to overcome those notorious afternoon slumps by having a high protein snack and exercising for 15-60 minutes to wake up my body and increase my energy for the rest of the day. The advice from these two smart women stuck with me over the past 15+ years and proved to be true time and time again. (I got a lot of A's in school.)
As I learned, taking a break is one of the best things you can do to re-energize, regain focus, and keep up the level of productivity that you desire. If you're anything like me, you may concentrate so hard on what you're doing that the time passes quickly. One of my tricks for fitting in breaks is to schedule them ahead of time. Modern technology makes it easy to do this. If you're working on a computer, you can usually set up your email client (such as MS Outlook or Gmail Google Calendar) to remind you when it's time to take a break. If you're moving around or at home, try setting an alarm or reminder on your cell phone or setting a timer on your stove or microwave to signal it's time for a break.
Setting reminders is easy - the hardest thing for most of us even when we have good intentions is to actually stop and relax. If you find yourself resisting a break, remind yourself that this break is going to help you reach your goals faster and easier because you'll be focused and rejuvenated when you get back to work. Experiment this week - try scheduling a couple of breaks for yourself and TAKE THEM. I bet you'll be glad you did!
