Happy new year whimsey and welcome!!

So you know first-hand that everything is connected -- body, mind, emotions, spirit ... each affects the others. That is why I like W(holistic) healing practices ... they make you more aware of the connections and how to deal with them in a positive healing way if needed.

Jo .. there are MANY books out there on integrative technicques for healing that might help you in the set up of your business ... many, many techniques to combat the effects of stress in the workplace and other places as well. Some companies have set up programs to help PREVENT it BEFORE it happens by having a small tai chi class, or exercise stretching, or places of refuge for relaxation breaks, meditation and guided imagery tapes, and other programs offered by the companies for employees to find the best ways for them to combat any stress related problems they might have. And in the process, very well could save the company lots of money in lost time/sickness wages, so it has its practical side as well!!

Sorry to get a wee bit off topic but I felt it was important enough to share.

Now, breathe deep in through your nose ... hold it .... and let it out slowly through your mouth .... releasing any stress you might have through your breath, visualizing it starting from your head down to your toes .... ah .... feel better? Hope so .... and have a WONDERFUL new year filled with blessings and healing and wellness. May you all find your best balance.
