Happy New Year!

Hope everyone has survived the Holiday Season so far! I am happy to share this blog with you and thought it was time for anyone that may not know me to 'see' who I am! My goal is to get lots of followers in 2010...so if you are reading this blog and think of someone who may enjoy it....PLEASE forward it to your friends and family! Thank You!!

This is always a fun time of year. It is full of family gatherings, parties with friends and neighbors, including some gatherings for the children. It spells out lots of fun...but can also be a pretty frantic, stress filled time too. The one sure fired way to stay out of the stress mode is to train your mind to 'stay in the moment'...don't think about what happened yesterday or how in the world you are going to get everything done for tomorrow. Living in the moment allows us to enjoy, appreciate and show gratitude for what the universe is providing for us right now. Too many times we either worry about what just happened or spend precious 'now' time thinking about what may be happening in the future.

Making it a practice to 'stay in the moment' will make you realize the importance of NOW. We may not have a next time....we are mortal and the mere realization of our mortality should shake us to the minute...enjoying what we have right now. Dealing with and being in THIS moment. If you do nothing else for yourself at the end of 2009, give yourself the opportunity to live in the moment you are in. ENJOY, deal, and be grateful for what is happening now.

Please know that Soma Total Wellness wishes you and your families a Happy New Year. Make it your intent for 2010 to live in the moment...enjoy, live, breath, and be grateful.

Gifts for the Holidays!!!

I am first going to remind all of you that Soma Total Wellness has an amazing variety of services that anyone on your Christmas List would LOVE!!....and how much easier could it get....log on and purchase a gift certificate. Then your recipient can choose anything they want. I urge you to do just that...shopping from you sofa is so relaxing and after your purchase you can print out the certificate and wrap it up! Or better yet, you can email the certificate to a loved one that may be farther away, making delivery so easy!!!

It has been a bit since I last blogged! I am hoping that your Thanksgiving season was a nice, thanks filled time. So much has been happening. Our new space is becoming more and more like home as we have settled in the last few months. I am in hopes that many of you who may not have visited us will do so in the next few weeks.

We have started some very fun/fulfilling workshops the last few weeks. They are called "Why Not?"...getting your mind into your workout. They are being tested in a few small gyms in the area. It is a four week intensive hypnosis workshop. Is that all we do, you may ask? Hypnosis sessions are so much more than just the process of being hypnotized. The participants cannot stop talking about the benefits they are seeing from the 60-90 minute sessions. The sessions are $20 each, once per week. In the beginning, we ask for a four week committment....it truly needs a base to see the benefit. Although, the participants now are saying they feel the difference only after two sessions!!

I bring this up because it is quite an amaazingly affordable way to not only be introduced to the power of our habitual mind....but realize that anything is possible with some simple shifts in our thought patterns.

Please consider joining us for a session. Please call Soma Total Wellness for more informations (815)439-2303.

I plan to get some more info out to you...I am in training this weekend (from Thursday to Sunday) for Craniosacral Therapy. I will be offering this service soon and understand that it is a great way of easing migraines, TMJ, chronic pain, anxiety and a host of other symptoms. I will keep you updated.

Have a great day/night and hope to see you at our Wellness Center SOON!!!
