A fun little tune about TerraMar

What is Float Therapy? Imagine the feeling of being suspended in space. That’s the feeling you get floating in 900 pounds of dissolved epsom salt. More than sim...ple relaxation, epsom salt or magnesium sulfate, is a mineral that nearly everyone is deficient in. When you float in the pod your body absorbs these minerals and your body’s magnesium and sulfate levels increase. This helps to calm your nervous system and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal. The deep relaxation state you enter when floating helps to reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels. Blood flow is stimulated and endorphins are released. Endorphins are chemicals in the brain that reduce feelings of pain and trigger positive feelings. Studies have shown that floatation therapy can even help with depression. The endorphins released during a float last beyond the float session itself. The extreme buoyancy that individuals experience when floating is essentially like experiencing anti-gravity. This allows those with joint or muscle pain much needed relief that they cannot get otherwise. Float your way to less stress, anxiety, depression, and pain. It might sound too good to be true, but science says it’s possible. #WestGAFloat #FloatTherapy #CarrolltonGA #TerraMarWellness #StressRelief #Magnesium #CarrolltonWellness

Find balance between your work and home life. Find the time to get away. Even if it's just to go get a cup of coffee. Make a plan. You're worth it. We're biased, but we think @terramarwellnesscenter is a pretty nifty place to get away. <3 Take time to float, or get a massage at terramarwellness.com

Join My friend Sam and I as we explore different ideas about nutrition and spirituality. In the first of a Spiritual Food Workshop series, we want to discuss plant-based nutrition and the Daniel Fast. In the book of Daniel of the Bible, Daniel lays the foundation of a plant-based; abstaining from meat and wine, and eating only fruits, vegetables, and pulses. After 21 days, he had renewed mental, physical, and spiritual strength, which we also hope to achieve through the prac...tice of plant-based eating. What we will discuss: What is plant-based eating? What foods are considered plant-based? What are the holistic benefits of this way of eating? And other topics. Whether you already eat mostly plants, or want to start, we hope you will join us in this discussion. See more

What would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail? What steps can you make today to realize your dreams? Every single day is a chance to build the future you've always wanted. #dreams #dreamjob #dreamlife #goals

Dropping this right here for anyone who needs it.

To say I’m excited about this is a big understatement. If you’ve been missing community, and live music, come visit us on Saturday at TerraMar. We’ll be outside, distanced, and masked when in close proximity. I still have room for performances and vendors.

Good Saturday, friends. Excuse my furrowed brow- it’s just my face I met with my friend @rachelc.reiki again this morning for distance Reiki, and wh...en we spoke afterwards, holy moly was it clear how connected we were. From our connection, she was able to speak to the struggles I went into our session with this morning. We are a star and our purpose is to shine. When we do not shine, we go against nature. It is up to us to trust and have confidence in the process, and do what we have been put here to do. We give love, light, and we are a beacon. I am grateful for my journey, my ever-growing purpose(s), and the people God has placed in my life. I strive to honor it everyday.

Yoga nidra was practiced by ancient sages so they could consciously watch their samskaras, or the "impressions of the mind." They could also purify their samskaras in order to come closer to liberation, or moksha. The practice of yoga nidra not only involves pratyhara, but also requires pranayama (breathing techniques) and dharana ("concentration"), which are the fourth and sixth limbs of Ashtanga yoga. In yoga nidra, the practitioner enters their alpha state and their focus ...shifts to the third eye chakra(sahasrara). It also stimulates the hormones in the pineal gland, which releases melatonin -- a horomone that reduces stress, boosts the immune system and helps prevent illness. Regular practice helps harmonize the brain hemispheres, promoting better mental performance. Yoga nidra offers other amazing health benefits, as well, including: Calms the mind Relaxes and rejuvenates the body Soothes the nervous system Reduces fatigue Lowers high cholesterol and blood pressure levels Strengthens immunity Improves quality of sleep Treats depression Reduces pain Boosts concentration level Supports brain function and boosts creativity See more

What is your spirit animal? If you've been to my meditation classes, you know I'm obsessed with the magic of animals I have a few favorite animals. Which animal below is closest to your spirit animal? Feel free to share others as well.

If you're anything like me, you read 15 reviews for a $9 product on Amazon to make sure you are getting your money's worth. That's why referr...als are so helpful for businesses. Yes, someone can Google "best deep tissue massage in MyTown" to find someone who has good SEO juice (and may you ARE that person!). If they find you online with no references, they'll probably be reading testimonials. But what if they can't find you online? Referrals are an ideal way to have the clients who love you share the benefits of your skills with their friends, co-workers, and neighbors. I had one guy who I saw every other week send in: 1. his wife 2. his daughter (who lived out of state) 3. his boss 4. his co-worker 5. another co-worker 4's husband came in 3's wife and 2 sons came in That's 9 people I would probably have not seen had he not referred all these clients to me. And all you need to do is ask them to refer you to someone they think would like you and your skills. What's your best referral story? #barefootmassage #massageclass #massagece #massagelife #barefootmassage #fasciashi #ashiatsu #cincinnati #deeptissuemassage #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #ashi #barefootmassageclass #ashiatsuclass #ashiatsuworkshops #referral @centerforbarefootmassage #learn #career See more

Yoga Nidra is a unique experience of relaxation and release. Yoga Nidra roughly translates to "yogic sleep" and is a powerful meditation technique where you will be guided into a state of deep relaxation while maintaining awareness. This class is designed to move you through a few gentle yoga postures to relax and settle the energies of the body. Follwed by a comfortable and supported Savasana (resting pose) for Yoga Nidra. Releasing physical, mental and emotional tension experience the opportunity to leave class feeling rested, restored and inspired.

Yoga is all about being in the present. This means acceptance and love of yourself as you are... now.
