Words to Live By

Meet the Professional
Ever since local mixed media artist Sally Towers-Sybblis was a child, she had a passion for creating. She believes her process is simple: start and the painting will evolve and finish itself. Sally loves to use colour in her work; the more colour, the happier the work becomes. “I want my work to reflect a sense of fun and spontaneity!” she says. It’s important to Sally to include the community in her work, so she teaches classes on a regular basis. “Sharing my techniques gives others that same sense of gratification and expression that I receive from creating!”
Art of Releasing Tensions
Jin Shin Jyutsu is the art of releasing tensions which are the causes for various symptoms in the body. No longer worried about sabretooth tigers, we now fight deadlines, news stories, financial slumps and other situations. Today, our bodies live in this constant state of stress, and we don’t get a chance to restore our bodies through relaxation. This chronic stress can result in congestion of the flow of life energy, resulting in potential illness. Jin Shin Jyutsu helps to reduce the negative effects of stress and bring balance and healing back to the body.
Response to Trauma
When trauma is experienced, we naturally react by going to the following 3 states. Flight – tuning out, scattered attention, running away from situations, unable to look at what is going on inside. Fight – turning to defensiveness or argumentative behavior. Freeze – avoiding engagement or confrontation, turning away, or becoming passive.
With trauma, there is often a disconnection from self or the present moment. These behaviors may continue if the emotions attached to the events and experiences are not released. EFT, or Tapping, is a gentle way to release the emotions, conscious or sub-conscious, to improve your emotional wellness.
Anxiety to Calm Workshop
Anxiety can stop people from living their best life. It is a common reason for seeing a health care profession. Red Deer Primary Care Network (RDPCN) offers an 8 week group program to help people learn skills to manage and reduce anxiety, and experience more calmness. Participants have experienced about a 50% decrease in their distress over the 8 weeks. “A group setting was good; you realize you are not alone with anxiety.” “The atmosphere was amazing. I felt safe and supported to share, but not pressured. Great environment!” To register, call 403.343.9100 or talk to your health care professional.
