April reflections
As I write this in the aftermath of a socially distanced outdoor gathering, where a small group of friends have been allowed to get together. The build-up and anticipation of meeting was so lovely, we all so easily recognised how much we had missed not being in each other’s company – but its more than that it was simply being able to connect!
The journey of having appointments for our Covid-10 vaccination, having the injection and varied reactions… It all meant that we were in this together and would get through this together – for which I am very grateful.
Recognising the vast number of moods this latest lockdown journey is taking us on, anticipation, anxiety, fear, pain, sickness, loneliness, comfort, happiness are just a few emotions. It makes us retrospective over routines and left in wonder of what is to come.
Less than a 100 years ago the term “stress” did not exist. Today, stress is named as the “health epidemic of the 21st century”. And there is no magic recipe to reduce the stress we experience in today’s demanding lifestyle. It is often out of our control.
But there are ways to combat stress through a holistic approach - let us care for our bodies and minds, even if it is in the smallest ways.
Let us recognise that illness, aches and pains, stress, worry, sleeplessness, and anxiety affect not only one’s physical but also emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being.
If this can be relieved using techniques tried and tested for thousands of years in Japan, Egypt, China and India we can bring a little relief and a lot of relaxation. Reiki Divine experience offers holistic massage, Reiki and an Indian facial massage technique that allows the body’s natural healing abilities to come forward. Or simply talk over anguish, using cognitive behaviour techniques and a good listening ear, to help work through what is going through your mind, then It is an experience a treatment and a pamper rolled into one - with the focus on you - that you deserve...
