This month's meditation reflects on the place of gratitude in our lives.  It asks us to put aside doubt and fear and focus instead on the rich diversity that presents itself daily in our lives. Suggestions are provided to move from doubt to inner strength.

Renewing Negative Ion Showers
mist
Ever experience a lift your mood when you stand near a waterfall, at the beach or just after a summer rain? Research suggests this is the influence of increased negative ions in the air and that negative ions delivered by mist can moisturize and nourish the skin on a cellular level.

We have added Renewing Negative Ion Mist to our Spa showers, to be enjoyed as part of the Cedar Ezyme Bath treatment. The negative ion generator sprays a fine mist of electrolyzed water, subtly infused with Vitamin C. This gentle, low PH water provides a comprehensive hygienic cleansing without harsh chemicals. An elevating experience that will refresh and renew you through and through!
