Be on the look out for our new website that should be launched shortly! It will include information from our newsletters, vendors and artists, events, services, blogs, and shopping cart!!
Happy Fall! Enjoy settling into the new season and letting go all that doesn't serve you...just like the trees, letting go of the leaves to prepare for their next stage in life. Blessings!

What are you Doing with the New You?
Fall is a new season, and there is a new you in town. Whether the differences are subtle or dramatic, you are different than you were before the long days of summer, and certainly different than last year at this time. This is a time of change, both outside and in. What are you doing with this new you?
In this season's newsletter we'll be exploring the idea of recreating your fall rituals and adding new ones, both at home and at the spa.
Enjoy this season of renewal!

| Member Spotlight: Shannon Maciel |
Shannon Maciel, Essential Spa Member
Shannon Maciel is a busy woman. A mom of two (both boys, ages 12 and 13) she works full time as a manager at Redwood Capital Bank. She has been married to her husband for 16 years, and volunteers as a Board Member for the McKinleyville Chamber of Commerce, Shannon spends as much time as she can with her sons, one of whom is autistic.
Shannon became a member this summer, after a grueling nine months fighting (and winning) her own personal war against her thyroid cancer.
"The first time I met with Stephanie her thoroughness struck me right away," Shannon said. "I really think she is interested in my health and well being. And she is hands-down the best masseuse I have ever experienced."
Shannon is hooked on Stephanie's hot stone massages, and has one at least once a month. She also takes advantage of the specials promoted for members, like with this month's Product of the Month.
"All of the staff is genuinely friendly and helpful," she said. "I'm glad I found the spa. I'm at a point in my life where i need to focus on getting healthier, and the spa and the people who work there are helping me do just that."

| The Ritual of Setting Intention |
Create your Life with Intention:
What are your Goals for Today?
One ritual you can add this fall is to set your daily intention.
Many spiritual disciplines believe that everything that happens begins with intention, whether its deciding what to wear, writing an essay, or changing something significant about your life.
Meditation is often the best way to get very clear about intention.
But you can also just take a few moments to breathe deeply
and clearly state your goals for the day.
You'll have the most success if you can:
Be clear and positive.
Instead of saying "I won't get angry today," say something like: "I will use my breath to stay calm if someone tailgates me today;" and
Be gentle with yourself.
If you fail to act like you wanted to, set an intention to succeed and try again.

| The Ritual of Mindful Meditation |
There is a difference between Transcend
ental Meditation (the kind many of us are familiar with) and Mindful Meditation.
Mindful Meditation is a focus on the present moment.
Transcendental Mediation is the practice of trying to transcend this moment.
Here are two examples of Mindful Meditation:
1.
Breathing into the moment. Use this practice if you are stressed or anxious. Use slow measured breaths (for about three minutes) to really be aware of your feelings. The breath will keep you calm, and the practice is likely to help you get a better handle on the way you feel about the situation.
2. Movement meditation. This can be yoga, tai chi, or another mind-body exercise. It can also be employed when you're walking. The practice is to be aware of your bodily sensations, your breathing, and your thoughts.

| The Ritual of Affirmations |
Cultivate a Positive Point of View with
Daily Affirmations
The way we talk to ourselves has a profound influence on how we see our world, how we feel, and how our lives unfold. Affirmations can empower you and fill you with a sense of well being.
Daily affirmations can help refocus you throughout the day, especially whenever you notice that you are rushing or having anxious thoughts. Here are some examples:
I have all the time in the world. I always have plenty of time.
This moment is exactly as it should be.
I follow my own rhythm and my mind is at peace.

| Creating a Spa-like Experience at Home |
Three ways you can create your
own spa-like experience at home:
1. Treat your face with a hot towel
Your morning and night time facial care routines will get a wonderful boost with this simple idea: Prepare washcloths or hand cloths by soaking them in hot water and wringing them out until just slightly damp. Soak the towels in hot water, then wring them out until they're just slightly damp. When you are finished rinsing off, apply the now-warm, clean towel and slowly breathe.
|
2. Change the temperature.
Even those few minutes you spend under the shower spray every day can become more like a full-body treatment, simply by changing the temperature of the water. "Experiment by switching from hot to cold. This is good for the skin and helps improve blood flow"
|
3. Set the atmosphere
Light some candles. Choose a scent you love. Play soft instrumental music. Bring in your softest towels. Make a cool cucumber water drink.
