This is a blog post written in February 2018, that never found its way onto my website until today! The Biofeedback Wellness Studio had just completed it's move to 2629 Redwing Road, Suite 310. I hope the message it contains will be useful to you. Here we go:
"To everything there is a season", right? As I packed up my office to move, I marveled at the power of listening to that soft voice inside your head. I recalled how I came to find my former office space within the Raintree Athletic Club. As a member of the club, I had walked by that room multiple times. On three occasions, I heard that small voice inside instructing me to: "Just Ask." I knew what I was suppose to ask, i.e., if I could rent that space as my biofeedback office. I'm so glad I listened and am genuinely grateful for my time there, the people I met, and the opportunity to work in a supportive, wellness-focused environment.
But, as I said, "To everything there is a season." The club had become busier and thus, more noisy. Plus, after three years of no windows, I wanted to see the daylight! Once I set the intention of finding a new space, things began to fall into place.
Are you listening to your still small voice within? It's easy to ignore it in the midst of our busy lives and in doing so, you can easily miss out on hearing from the wisest voice you might encounter. Your own! What will YOUR small voice of wisdom move you to do or not do?
Getting Back to the Basics!
My new office wasn't furnished, so I had to start with the basics: desk, chairs, shelving and file cabinets. IKEA had what was needed. The basics! Furniture parts, screws, pegs, etc. along with a 58 page pictorial instruction booklet. I hired my grandson to help with assembly. He kept me on track when I wanted to jump ahead. "No Grandma, we're sticking to the basic instructions. Don't open that package of parts till it tells you to!" Turns out that all those Lego kits we purchased for him paid off. IKEA assembly is similar to a big Lego project and he knew what to do.
Maybe its time for all of us to focus on the basics. For those of you who were accustomed to getting a monthly emailed blog post from me...well, I must apologize! Work and life got busy and I stopped taking time for it.
For those of you who have experienced biofeedback, I hope you're able to use the tools you've learned. But if the fullness of life has kept you from taking time to practice, maybe it's time to go back to the basics!
Breathing! That's pretty basic! How is your breathing pattern? I invite you to watch and participate in this video by Dr. Erik Peper, Ph.D., San Francisco State University: Breathing and posture: Mind-body interventions to improve health, reduce pain and discomfort. It contains excellent information, presented in a fun and somewhat humorous manner. I imagine you will gain increased awareness and skill with the basics of breathing!
