    How an Attitude of Gratitude Can Improve Your Life

    November 17, 2017 / No Comments

    By Emmy Vadnais, OTR/L What are Your Grateful For? Taking a few moments each day or weekly to have an attitude of gratitude may improve your life. Research supports findings that there is an association with gratitude and an overall sense of well being. “Gratitude is the appreciation of what is valuable and meaningful to oneself and represents a general state of thankfulness and/or appreciation.” ~ Sansone & Sansone, 2010 Focus on What’s Right It may seem more easy to focus on what you feel may be going “wrong” in your life or what you want to improve, instead of focusing on what is going well. It can be helpful to…

    Happy Summer! Stay Healthy with the Seasons

    July 3, 2015 / No Comments

    It is the height of summer! May you enjoy soaking up the sun, the flowers, green, growth, cool waters, and nature in all its glory!  Summer is governed by the Fire Element – as seen and felt by the stronger Sun and more daylight. Yang energy is at its strongest. This is a time of motion, movement, activity, creativity, and action with a balance of relaxation.  Many are gathering with friends and family – those we love. The heart, which governs the mind, is influenced by the rhythms of nature this time of year. There is a desire to be in harmony, in love, and full of joy.   The energy…

    Bringing Healing to Pain: The Mind-Body Connection and What May Be Behind Your Pain

    May 11, 2015 / No Comments

    Are you experiencing pain or know someone who is? While it is good to get checked out by a qualified health care practitioner to determine if there may be a physical solution to your physical pain, there may be more behind your pain that you may be able to heal. According to the National Institutes for Health pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. Pain is cited as the most common reason Americans access the health care system. It is a leading cause of disability and it is a major contributor to health care costs. Dr. Herbert Benson, who coined the term the Relaxation Response, stated that 60%…

    Mindfulness and Acceptance – What Does it Mean?

    March 29, 2015 / No Comments

    Mindfulness is all a buzz now, and for good reason. Mindfulness shows us how to be with and accept our reactions to our experiences in a non-judgmental way. It can help us to learn to love and accept ourselves and others more, lower stress, anxiety, depression, pain, enhance our health, help us prevent disease, and create sense of calm, peace, and joy. It is a skill that allows us to be with our senses without reacting to them in a negative way. What resists persists, and if we resist our experience we can feel worse. Mindfulness Meditation has its roots from the Buddhist Meditation known as Vipassana – which means…

    10 Ways to Balance Your Emotions for Good Health

    March 19, 2015 / No Comments

    How are you feeling? Likely, you are feeling many different feelings, emotions, and physical sensations. Did you know that how you feel and your emotions can greatly impact your health and well-being? What is happening with your thoughts? Thoughts are connected to emotions, but which came first – the emotion or thought? The mind and body are one. Our thoughts affect our emotions, the body’s functions, and our emotions and feelings affect our mind, thoughts, and outlook. How You Handle Your Emotions Can Impact Your Health We often think of emotions in terms as good or bad. We tend to avoid or reject unpleasant ones and try to hold on…
