Retreat to Recalibrate: Making Room For New Energy to Expand

January 08, 2015/ jillian pransky

Whether for a few hours, a day, or a week, the turn of seasons is an essential time to slow down for some sort of Retreat. Retreat literally means to withdraw or step back. Taking this time helps you break the cycle of habitual living and creates an environment for us to regain perspective on our life - to revive our energy, and reconnect to that which is most important to us. We see, hear and feel more clearly after a retreat. We can retreat any time, really.

For an instant retreat at work, enjoy a slow walk around the block and enjoy the sights, smells, movement of your body, and air moving in and out of your lungs.

The Big Change Up

April 10, 2014/ jillian pransky

As the nurse inserted the needle into my son, William’s, left arm, 10 years of fear surged into my throat. I breathed and let my fear rattle on, without pushing it away or exaggerating it. I am always amazed at how conscious breathing helps me function, even while anxiety lurks.
