Take time to listen to your body. We are constantly, throughout each day, focusing on the outer world. From the moment we awaken, look at our phones, what are the headlines today, when is my first meeting, the dog needs to go out, this bill needs to be paid, we need groceries, etc… it starts first thing and goes all day long. This is a massive amount of Yang energy that is not balanced by Yin energy. Many of the health conditions we see today are due to a Yin-Yang imbalance - and mostly a Yang excess. Nourishing our Yin can be as simple as stopping and taking a moment in your day to ‘smell the roses’.

June is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. The term I've learned, 'Traumatic Stress Response,' resonates with me more than PTSD. It suggests that our bodies are responding to stress or trauma by protecting us when we encounter a traumatic event or experience. I view this response not as a disorder, but as a natural and primal reaction to stress, deserving of our compassion and empathy. Whether it's a car accident, a natural disaster, war, or other traumatic events, our bodies react to protect us
