The Significance of the Number 7
Did you know that the day of the week you were born can tell you a lot about your health? The day of the week you were born coincides with the 7 metals of alchemy, 7 planets, 7 gemstones, the 7 chakras and the 7 organs and organ systems of the body. The 7 chakras transform the prana energy of the universe and absorb it into the body where it is converted for health. When energy gets blocked, disease occurs.

Learn how to avoid or even reverse this from occurring and what you can do to make changes in your life in less than 15 minutes a day!
Reiki – Release Stress and Tension
Reiki offers deep relaxation and helps the body release stress and tension. A reiki treatment gives you time to yourself where you are ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Clients report feeling more clear, peaceful, relaxed, and lighter in themselves. Reiki provides a space where you can be more aware of what is going on inside your body and mind. You can learn to listen to your own body and make wise decisions about your wellbeing. Being more present in your body helps you to access the inner knowing and wisdom that we all have!
Communication Rule
Many misunderstandings and conflicts arise because of poor communication. Here is something to remember. Communication is made up of 7% spoken words; 38% of voice and tone; and 55% body language. This is SO important to keep in mind when you are talking to anyone – in your workplace or at home. How you present yourself and how calm and open your demeanor are far more important than the actual words. If you keep this as a reminder to you and those around you (family, coworkers) it will help you all get along better!

Which Wolf Are You Feeding?
There is an old wise tale about an inner fight that goes on between two wolves in the wild. One is harsh, angry, full of sorrow, regret and arrogance. Motivated by self-pity and filled with false pride, greed and ego. The other wolf is full of joy, lightness, nurturance, hope, love, humility, kindness, generosity, compassion and trust. That same wolf struggle resides in each one of us at different times in our lives and we are often hard on ourselves when fighting our demons. When asked which wolf wins the battle? The wise one responds: “it all depends, which one you decide to feed”.
