Aquarius Therapies

How are you measuring up against all of this? I’m right there with you.

“A gentle reminder about why you are utterly exhausted…

No one I know began this year on a full tank. Given the vicious onslaught of the previous two years (let’s just call it what it was) most of us dragged ourselves across the finish line of 2021… frazzled, spent, running on aged adrenaline fumes…

We crawled into 2022 still carrying shock, trauma, grief, heaviness, disbelief… The memories of a surreal existence…

And then it began… The fastest hurricane year we could ever have imagined. Whether we have consciously processed it or not, this has been a year of more pressure, more stress, and a race to “catch up” in all departments… Every. Single. One. Work, school, sports, relationships, life…

Though not intentionally aware, perhaps hopeful that the busier we are, the more readily we will forget… the more easily we will undo the emotional tangle… the more permanently we will wipe away the scarring wounds…

We can’t.

And attempts to re-create some semblance of “normal” on steroids while disregarding that for almost two years our sympathetic nervous systems were on full alert, has left our collective mental health in tatters. Our children and teens are not exempt. The natural byproduct of fighting a hurricane is complete and utter exhaustion…

So before you begin questioning the absolutely depleted and wrung-dry state you are in- Pause. Breathe. Remind yourself of who you are and what you have endured. And then remind yourself of what you have overcome.

Despite it all, you’re still going. (Even on the days you stumble and find yourself face down in a pile of dirt).

Understanding brings compassion…

Most of the world’s citizens are in need of a little extra TLC at the moment. Most are donning invisible “Handle with care” posters around their necks and “Fragile” tattoos on their bodies…

Instead of racing to the finish line of this year, tread gently. Go slowly.

Amidst the chaos, find small pockets of silence. Find compassion. Allow the healing. And most of all… Be kind. There’s no human being on earth who couldn’t use just a little bit more of the healing salve of kindness.

With love ♥️”

*Powerful and poignant words of insight by Naomi Holdt - Psychologist and Speaker*

Healing from grief is about learning to build a life around it. Your grief will last as long as your love - forever....

“A friend posted this writing today and it struck me that someday EVERYONE will go thru this discarding of “things” that are the memories of one’s life. Sometimes it’s our own and more often it’s the life of someone we love…..❤️

When my mom was cleaning out her house over 23 years ago to sell it, I wasn't very sympathetic over her attachments to things. I would go over on weekends to help her and we would go through things, things for a yard sale, things to donate, things to throw away. I would usually get upset over how long it was taking her to decide. For instance, we were going through kitchen cabinets and she spent 20 minutes looking at an iron kettle with a lid. Finally I said,

“Mom, at this rate it is going to take us another 2 years.”

She told me that her mother used to make meals in that kettle and leave them at doorsteps of neighbors during the depression, mom would deliver them, and then they would reappear back to her with an apron, or a wood carving, something in return for the meal. I realized that everything that my mom was going through was really a reliving of her life.

If you are reading this and are under the age of 60, you wont get it. You haven't lived long enough. Most of you have not had to move your parents into a nursing home, or emptied their home. You haven't lived long enough to realize that the hours you spend picking out the right cabinets, or the perfect tile will not be what matters in the later years. It will be the handmade toothbrush holder, or a picture that you got on vacation.

So, if your parents are downsizing, and moving to smaller places, or selling a home, give your mom and even your dad a break. Those things that you don't understand why they can’t just pitch, and why you think you know what needs to be tossed or saved, give them a little time to make their decisions. They are saying goodbye to their past, and realizing that they are getting ready for their end of life, while you are beginning your life.

As I have been going through things, its amazing just how hard it is to get rid of objects. But, life goes on, and you realize they are just things, but sometimes things comfort us. So give your parents or grandmparents a break. Listen to their stories, because in 40 years, when you are going through those boxes and the memories come back, it will be hard to get rid of those plastic champagne flutes that you and your late husband used at a New Years party 40 years ago. You will think nothing of the tile or the light fixtures that were so important then.

As happy as they are for you, and as much as they love you, you just don't have a clue until it happens to you and then you will remember how you rushed them, and it will make you sad, especially if they are already gone and you cant say I’m sorry, I didn’t get it.”

My client sent me this. How sweet!

All people are healers, whether that is their job title or not. And for many of you, it is an internal job title you are carrying. You bring your vibration, your love, your understanding, your compassion, your ability to feel, to others in a generous way when you can. And that in turn creates a ripple effect.

Never underestimate the importance of the ripple effect. You giving love, understanding, compassion, is the same as you giving a significant sum of money to somebody in financial need. Money is energy, and so is love, so is healing energy. And healing energy is that which holds space for someone else's transformation and rebirth.

For someone to rebirth out of depression and into joy and connection, even if they only feel that for an hour or two while they are in your presence. This is how you are all healing all of the time. And how you have the capacity to heal each other.

We can incorporate gua sha into your massage if you wish. Promotes healthy blood flow to areas that a sore, tender or aching.

Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique which dates back over 2000 years and translates as 'scraping sha-bruises' and is sometimes referred to as spooning, coining or scraping. There is evidence of similar techniques being used in ancient Roman times by gladiators who needed to stay in peak fighting condition. Gua Sha is applied using specifically shaped tools. Traditionally, different materials such as stone, horn, ceramics or metal are used to produce tools. Practitioners apply a lubricant to the area being treated and then apply repeated unidirectional strokes to the tissues, usually working along acupuncture meridian lines. These repeated strokes produce what is known as 'sha'. In ancient Chinese medicine 'sha' is believed to be the release of unhealthy elements from within the injured tissues and promotes blood flow and healing. Although the 'sha' appears to be 'bruising', it looks very different in practice and creates transitory therapeutic petechia. The 'petechia' looks like tiny droplets of blood below the surface of the skin. The 'sha' resembles a "love bite" or "hickey", though tends not to be painful
