Reiki – December 8, 2024
Join us on December 8, 2024 for Reiki sessions with Reiki Master, Joyce Bannon! Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that uses gentle touch to promote relaxation and well-being.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a non-invasive, complementary therapy that uses gentle touch to balance the body’s energy fields. The word “reiki” comes from the Japanese words rei, meaning universal, and ki, which refers to a flow of life force energy. Reiki was developed in Japan in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui.
How is it done?
During a reiki session, a practitioner places their hands on or near the client’s body to help guide energy through the body. The practitioner may hold their hands in place for about three minutes, or until they feel the energy has stopped flowing.
What are the benefits of Reiki?
Some say reiki can help with relaxation, stress reduction, pain control, and improved sleep quality. Research suggests that reiki may also help with emotional healing, psychosomatic disorders, and fibromyalgia.
How long is a session and how much does it cost?
Sessions are 60 minutes and cost $50 per session. Sessions are done in our Fresh Start Salt Therapy Room. If you’d like to maximize your health by having the salt on during your Reiki session, $10 will be added to your invoice.

November 2, 2024Adjust your Sleep Schedule to Get the Best Sleep
We’ve all been there. We just can’t fall asleep. Our minds wander, stress creeps in, and then we can’t sleep. Sleep is very important to our health. When we sleep, our bodies rest. It’s in rest that our bodies repair themselves from the day. We aren’t awake to tell our body, “Do this, do that.” Sleep helps our bodies recover from the busy day we had.
Rest is important but so is quality sleep. It’s great to sleep an hour but it’s even better to have a deep REM sleep for an hour. REM sleep is when our body reaches the perfect deep sleep to do its best healing. Below are a few ways for you to try to help you get quality sleep:
Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. (Yes, even on the weekends!)
Avoid using electronic devices with screens 30-60 minutes before bed – cell phones, kindles, laptops, TV. (Try reading a real book!)
Keep to a regular bedtime routine.
Keep your bedroom at a cooler temperature (60-68 degrees).
Avoid eating large meals before bedtime.
Limit afternoon and evening caffeine.
Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night.
Invest in black-out curtains to keep the sunlight out.
Use a sleep sound system like a rainstorm or ocean waves to help you sleep.
Keep a gratitude journal and write in it each night 3 things you are thankful for from the day.
Use calming essential oils like lavender spritzed on your pillow or in a diffuser to help relax you.

November has always been a time to think about what we are thankful of. Family, friends, a roof over our heads, a warm bed. It’s important to practice gratitude.

Write a letter to someone.
Journal about the people, places, and items that make you most happy.
Volunteer for an organization’s event.
Meet up with friends and reminisce about good times.
Pray.
Tell someone you are grateful for them.
Spend time outdoors in fresh air.
Choose to be happy when you wake up.

November 1, 2024Benefits of Nuts
Are you in need of an energy pick me up? Try a small handful of nuts when you need an energy lift. One quarter cup should do it. We know how easy it is to have a container of nuts in front of you and how 1 handful turns into 2 or 3 handfuls. Make sure to measure out your nuts because too many nuts may backfire on you.
Nuts are a great form of healthy fat, protein, fiber, and antioxidants.
Nuts can lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
Nuts can even boost your immune system.
Raw nuts are the healthiest. Once roasted in oil, nuts lose their health benefits and may actually be harmful to your health.
Try to avoid peanuts. They aren’t actually a nut. Peanuts are a legume, which can cause inflammation.
