One
| | |
by Brian Dean
We think of one in many ways. One single person. One unit. The power of one. One is the loneliest number (if you remember song references). One heart. One soul. One mind.
In energy, we are all one, one entity, one mind. And it does not take much to reach out and connect with others. In that connection, we can know that we are not alone.
At this time of year, while many are getting together with family and friends, some are alone, missing loved ones that are far away or no longer here. They feel darkness closing in as depression settles. They feel alone, single, solitary. One.
But one is also a collection, a collection of things that make up a whole, one. If I take some carrots, celery, potatoes, and other things, cut them up and put them together in a pot, add some stock and cook it, I will come up with one soup. Here we get one from a collection of items.
The same is true for people. Through energy, we can know that friends and family are with us even if they are distant. By thinking of one happy memory of these people, we can extend ourselves to touch and be touched by them. The same is true for those that have passed over. While not here physically, they are still here energetically, and through energy we can touch them, become one with them.
All it takes is the tiniest of thoughts. One small memory. And we can reach out with others and be one with them. All it takes is one small spark to push back the darkness and bring us into the heart, the mind, and the One.

The Art of Caring Palms
| | |
Caring Palms continues to update the jewelry for sale in the studio and added a new display case. Billed as The Art of Caring Palms, this jewelry is all handcrafted by Shirley Dean. Many of the pieces use actual gemstones which contain energies specific to the type. There are even some in all the colors of the chakras. Please stop by and see what we have to offer. These would make great gifts for the holidays.

Change
| | by Brian Dean
Someone told me something that makes sense yesterday... If we want change, we have to make it. Most of us are dissatisfied with some things in our lives. Most of us want change. But most of us wait around for change to happen. We put the energies into wanting and hoping, but we actually need to put some into doing. We are the impetus that creates change. If we put the effort into making changes, and changes will happen. That is something important to remember. Don't just want change, make change. |
| Reiki Class Schedule | | The following is a list of currently scheduled Reiki Classes. Each class (unless otherwise marked) currently has a status of 'Scheduled'. This means that a date has been set, but no one has signed up for it yet. Once a deposit has been received for a class, the status will be 'Confirmed'. Any class marked as 'Closed' has basically filled up. (Note: In some cases, one may be able to enter a class marked 'Closed' with permission of the instructor.)
The current schedule is as follows: Reiki 1

All classes are open to anyone wanting to learn this unique method of hands-on healing. The cost for each class is $100 no matter what level of Reiki the class is for. A 50% deposit ($50) is required a minimum of seven (7) days prior to the class date (or permission of the instructor) to reserve a space in the class. Classes with no deposits received by the deposit date will be canceled. All class statuses may be viewed on the Reiki side of the web site under 'Class Scheduling and Schedule of Classes'. You can also sign up for classes there.
Each Reiki class is six (6) CEUs for Florida massage therapists. |
| Modality of the Month | | Deep Tissue Massage
One of the most requested styles of massage is Deep Tissue. It almost seems that everyone wants very deep work on their muscles, but that is not what they want at all. Most people just want to feel their massage. The best place to start is to define Deep Tissue massage.
When muscles become very tight and stiff, they need lots of pressure to get them to loosen up and stretch. Deep Tissue is that added pressure that gets way down into the belly of the muscle to get it to relax. Many times this can be painful depending on how deep the therapist goes, but all too often, that is what is required for someone to feel better.

Mailing List Trim Time
| | |
Caring Palms has been creating a list of mailing addresses for s few years now, and those people on this list receive the monthly newsletter. The list consists of clients, students, people that came by to see us at shows, and people that signed up through the website. Because of the statistics available to us, we know how many that receive it actually open it.
First off, if you wish to be removed from the newsletter mailing list, simply select the 'Unsubscribe' option at the bottom. That is the quickest, easiest method. The result is immediate.
While it is nice to say that we send out the newsletter to over 500 people, it is a smaller percentage that actually open it, so it is time to start shrinking the list. We will be keeping all current clients and students, and those that have opened the last couple of newsletters. We will also be keeping those that have signed up through the website whether they are a client or not. This trimming will be done before the December newsletter comes out.
If you do not receive the next newsletter, and would like to continue to receive our mailings, please email and let us know.
