Caring Palms hopes everyone has a safe and joyous holiday season.

January Weekend Availability
Brian will be taking master classes in mediumship out of town three weekends in January which will make less availability during the month. Also, due to this, there will be no classes that month.
Caring Palms will be closed New Years day for the holiday as well as the Friday before.
The studio will be open the entire first week in January (Tuesday thru Saturday, the 4th thru 8th).
The studio will be open January 11th and 12th, but closed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the 13th thru 15th.
The following week will be the same schedule as the studio will be open the 18th and 19th, but closed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the 20th thru 22nd. These weeks, classes are in Boca Raton, so an entire day is needed for travel.
The next week, Caring Palms will be open the 25th thru the 27th (Tuesday thru Thursday), and closed Friday and Saturday the 28th and 29th.
We hope that this does not cause too much inconvenience for those wanting to schedule.

Reaching Your Goals
by Brian Dean
Every January, we do the same thing, we make resolutions. But those most often turn into the jokes we laugh about in February. This is because we don’t put ourselves into the process. It is far better to set intentions and goals.
An intention is a thought process where we decide to do something, improve something about ourselves, our habits, or things outside of us. In doing this, we think, we feel, we see what it is that needs to be done, and then we put energy into it. It is this energy that takes it from being just an idea to being something more, something solid. Keep in mind that this has to be something realistic, no matter how fantastic it sounds, and it can be fantastic as long as you can define a way to achieve it.
Next we set a goal. We have the need, the thought, the intention. Now it is just a matter of making it something we can point to, something we can see and achieve. And once it is out there, we start building steps to reach it, because having the goal is the impetus that starts us thinking about what we have to do to get there, what type of journey we have to take.
Then we have to believe. Our believing is the energy that keeps us moving, keeps us taking those steps, keeps us moving toward that goal. We might get discouraged at times on our path to our goals, but as long as we come back to belief, we will always get there.
Intentions, goals, plans, steps, and belief. This is how we can accomplish anything.

Making The Change
by Brian Dean
Well, it is that time again… time to ring out the old and ring in the new. Or is it ring out the new and ring in the old? I always get that confused. At any rate, it is a time to let go of things from the past… the mistakes, the failures, the problems, and embrace the changes that we know are coming. Yes, we know they are coming as the world is constantly changing. And as we keep hearing, the only thing constant is change.
But why new years? Why one specific day? I just read something that said if you throw a sprig of holly onto your Yule log fire, it will burn away your troubles from the past year. Nice concept. But again, why now, or better put, why just now?
We seem to believe that the start of a new year is a great time for new beginnings, and it is. But new beginnings can occur anytime. It does not need to be at the beginning of the year, or the month, or the week, or at midnight. The time to start something new is NOW before that thought grows cold. As has been said many times before, to move forward, you need to let go of the past, and that is the spirit of New Year’s. But you can do this today, or tomorrow, or next Tuesday.
The problem most people have is that they make a decision to make a change, to take on something new, or to let go of something, and then they set a date. Eventually, that date will roll around, and we‘ll have lost the will, or conviction to follow through. That is why saying that we will do something at the beginning of next month is just procrastination that allows us to put off making the change. And when next month comes, that change we were going to make gets pushed to the month after, and this keeps happening until the change never occurs.
When you make the decision to make the change, make the change, right then, right now. After all, there is no time like the present.

If you have enjoyed the services at Caring Palms, whether that be massage, Reiki, or classes, or something else, please leave a review on one of the review sites like Google, Facebook, or any of the many places that take reviews. Lately, it has been these reviews that have been bringing new clients into the studio, and all have been glad they found us.
Anyone leaving a review will be entered into the monthly drawing to win a free session (massage or Reiki). Reviews made between the first and last day of each month will go into the drawing, and the winner will be pulled on the first of every month. Thank you all that have left reviews, and congratulations to the people who have already won free sessions.

Yelp has some qualifying software that looks at each review, and if you are a regular poster, your comment is deemed "Relevant", otherwise your comment is marked "Not Relevant". While Caring Palms has 20 5-star reviews on Yelp, only seven of them are deemed "Relevant", and one has to go through another step to see the remaining 13.

Guided Meditation CDs Available In-House and Online
The first three guided meditations are now available. We have a small inventory in-house). When these have been sold, we will replenish them (replenishment takes about 10 days). These meditations are also available online as CDs or MP3s and can be purchased through the Meditations Page. If you are looking for a safe meditative journey to relax or work, come see us, or purchase one (or all three) online. Available meditations include, Finding Sanctuary, Working Through Past Experiences, and Visiting With Your Guides. We are hoping to have the other three available within a few months.
Currently, the links to purchase the Meditation CDs are not working. The site needs to see sales every six months else they get taken down. CDs are available at the studio. If you want the audio file, let me know and I will get them to you.

(Note: In some cases, one may be able to enter a class marked 'Closed' with permission of the instructor.)
Please note, a class schedule will be set for the first five months of next year. During that time, there will be several Reiki 1 classes, and one of each Reiki 2, 3, 4. The new class schedule will be available in the January newsletter.

Caring Palms Hosts Mediumship Classes |
Currently, all of Marilyn's class are being held online through Zoom with some being in person. If you want to take a class, call her and she will tell you what you need to do.
Notice: The February and May classes will be a live IN PERSON at the studio!! Masks will be required.
Every month, Caring Palms is host a mediumship class taught by Marilyn Jenquin of the International Foundation for Spiritual Knowledge. In this class, Marilyn teaches the British style of mediumship (this is similar to the style used by John Edward). Each class contains a lecture, a meditation, and class exercises. This is for all ranges of students from the beginner, to the long time student.
Mediumship is a method of communicating with people who are no longer in their physical body, but in the spirit world. The class teaches students to do evidential readings as exercises so they get comfortable developing a relationship with those in spirit. This class is for anyone wanting to work with spirit whether they intend to become professional mediums or simply to use it in their everyday lives.
Classes are usually scheduled the fourth Thursday of each month from 1pm to 3:30pm at the Caring Palms studio. For more information, go to the IFSK Website where you can learn more about this, check class schedules and locations, and get contact information. |

Brian is now doing readings to anyone that wants to sit for one for $50 for up to one hour. Keep in mind, these are mediumship readings, not psychic readings. If you have an interest, please contact Brian and something can be scheduled. These can also be scheduled from the website. For more information on readings, please go to the Prices / More Classes/Services tab on the website, and then you can see several articles about mediumship under the Mediumship Menu. |

Procedures due to the Pandemic
Because of the ongoing issue with COVID 19, there will be changes in procedures to keep everyone (client and therapist alike) safe.
- Everyone coming in will have their temperature taken by a non-touch forehead thermometer. Anyone with a temperature of 100 degrees or higher will be asked to come back another time.
- A new form has been added letting you know that everything possible is being done to keep the disease from spreading. Basically, it is an information disclaimer like people sign for massage or Reiki sessions.
- During the intake process, while scanning, spirit will be asked if it is safe to work on that client.
- The client will be required to wear a face mask while they are face up (supine) during the session. If you do not have a mask, a disposable one will be provided.
- Your therapist will be wearing a mask during the entire session.
- After the session, all surfaces touched will be wiped down with disinfectant, and some will be cleaned through UV light.
-
We have added a Hepa/UV filter in the room that will be running at all times.
These procedures will not be bypassed under any circumstances. The idea is to keep everyone safe, yet allow them to get their needed sessions.
Also, if you normally refuse to wear a mask when going about normal errands, please wait to come in. If you have been in large groups that do not wear masks, please wait to come in. If you know that you have been exposed to people that have COVID, please wait to come in until you know you do not have it. This is for our safety as well as yours.
