Heads up that we are closed this coming Saturday the 27th. Happy spring everyone 🌸

The last masked places: Why these small businesses and nonprofits still require masks A bakery. A bookstore. A bike shop. More than two years after the state dropped its mandate, these Twin Cities spaces ask patrons and employees to mask up.

Happy ❤️ day everyone.

A reminder from the late Dr. Toni Morrison:
“There is no time for despair, no place for self pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge - even wisdom.”

We’ve got last minute openings this morning! Make an appointment at southpoint.janeapp.com

A message from the radish of rest:

You have been visited by The Radish of Rest and she has an important message for you 😌✨

By WholesomeNsuch Art

Humans are a social species and this video touches on why I think acupuncture in a group setting has a beneficial layer that we are unable to get in a private acupuncture setting (starting around minute 3): "Their autonomic nervous system needs the social engagement center of a trusted person to send signs of safety so their nervous system knows it's safe enough to rest. Learning to be still and to rest without anxiety or fear literally changes the brain over time. You're building new neural connections and changing the pattern of how your autonomic nervous system responds to stillness and not grinding all the time...any person or any system that encourages a lack of sleep wants you to not be thinking as clearly, wants you to not be as creative, wants you to not see all your options and all the opportunities that are laid out in front of you."

Fall News

“The next time you find yourself overwhelmed, overworked, or just generally fried, take a minute to ask yourself the following questions: 1. What is my body trying to tell me right now? 2. What’s one small thing I can do to take care of my body right now? 3. What are the areas in my life where I can practice the skills of setting boundaries and softening my inner critic to allow me to choose rest?”

Rest is a meaningful occupation.

We’ve got the air conditioner on and have openings until 1:50pm this afternoon! Make an appointment at www.janeapp.southpoint.com

“You are not a machine. You are more like a garden. You need different things on different days. A little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. You have fallow and fruitful seasons. It is not a design flaw. It is wiser than perpetual sameness. What does your garden need today?”
