8/10/2018 0 Comments Reiki!What is it and how can it help you? Reiki is an incredibly simple yet powerful method that can enhance your life in many ways. According to the International Center for Reiki Training, “Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.”
To read the full overview of Reiki from this source, please click here. Here are just a few possible benefits:
You can get a Reiki session from a practitioner and/or learn how to perform Reiki on yourself. It isn’t a religion, and is very accessible even if you’re not familiar with or a believer in energy work. Although you may feel skeptical, I whole heartedly encourage you to remain open minded and give it a try! I was regularly practiced reiki many years ago when I was working as a massage therapist, but it somehow disappeared from my life as I was focused other things. I recently revisited and re-certified in this technique. I continue to be amazed by the subtle effects in my life and body as well as the massive improvement in my ability to meditate.

There's a lot of conflicting information about sunscreen as well as sun exposure out there. No matter who you trust, or what you believe - you probably want to avoid a sunburn.
Here is the link to the Environmental Working Group's 2018 Guide to Sunscreens. (click here) It is free. In addition to their guide, they have some helpful tips as well as useful search tools. Do you feel good about the sunscreen you use? Last year, I used their list to try a few brands for my trip to Hawaii. Even though I live in AZ, I'm pretty pale, burn easily, and have very sensitive skin. I found some great products, I especially liked those by Goddess Garden. Luckily, I timed it right and got them during the 25% off sale at Sprouts. Do you have a favorite sunscreen? Feel free to share below! Last month, I sent some info about a possible retreat in November. Due to construction at the resort, we have moved it to May 2019.
I am so excited to share this exciting opportunity with you! This Biohacking & Nourishing Movement Retreat in May 2019 is a chance to rest, renew, and upgrade your life with me in paradise. For more info, click below: https://www.inspired-retreats.com/pippa-frame Registration is now open! There’s even an early bird discount, payment plan available, and a special treat for the first 4 reservations. We only have room for 12 participants max, so act now if you’re interested…. 6/8/2018 0 Comments Winnie & PandiculationFor those of you who don’t know- my sweet, old boy Winnie passed away in early April. It was sudden & swift, but I was there with him.
He was such a wonderful presence in my life and taught me so much about unconditional love, living fully in the moment, & pure joy in the simple things. Here is a picture of him expertly demonstrating pandiculation, which I highly encourage you to try right now! Click here for a great article on it. 6/1/2018 0 Comments Joy: It's TerrifyingDo you believe that there is no joy without gratitude? Do you find joy terrifying?

One of my favorite experts just did a 2 part interview about fascia. It is very interesting- she covers a lot of ground and answers some very common questions in a clear, palatable manner. Here are the Links: Part 1 http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode89/ Part 2 http://www.jasonyoga.com/tag/jill-miller/ Enjoy! 3/9/2018 0 Comments Warming Up as a Daily PracticeWe all know that warming up is a good idea before we engage in any big activity.
Have you ever considered adding in a quick warm up in the morning to prepare your body and mind for everyday life? Connecting to your body while moving and breathing with intention are powerful tools that can set you up for a successful, pain-free day. You don't have to have any fancy equipment or even do the same exact exercises every day to reap the benefits. I get feedback from many clients that they feel stiff or are in pain when they first get out of bed. I invariably as them if they are doing some specific movements (that they already know) to get their body moving, increase circulation, and ease any pain. The answer is usually no for a variety of reasons. The underlying issue is often that they aren't aware of their control of the situation. They aren't accessing the tools they posses to feel better and/or haven't made the conscious choice to use them. I recently went through a quick warm up sequence with a client who came in feeling terrible, uncomfortable, and frustrated with her body. We focused on breathing deeply, engaging her core, and included 3 or 4 really simple movements in a quadruped position. She was amazed at how much better she felt. She was even more amazed that she already knew all these movements and could have done them as soon as she started to feel stiff & achy. I didn't want her to memorize the sequence we did, I encouraged her to try to remember that she has skills and could use them as needed. Now I'm not saying that a short warm up will fix or heal everything, but I can safely say that it will help you to feel better (on many levels.) Try it and see! Not sure where to start or what to include in your warm up? - come join us at Kiwanis for a group class (click here) - book a private mat lesson with me (click here) - check out my You Tube Channel (click here) - buy a video (click here) Happy Practicing! |
