No matter what your background or current situation is, it’s always beneficial to prioritize your mental health. The journey to mental wellness can take many paths, some of them self-directed. Here at Gateway Cottage Wellness, we also offer various practices that you as an individual can follow in order to care for your mind in a more holistic manner.

Intuitive massage therapy is more than just a massage. It’s an experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated. Intuitive massage practitioners use techniques that help them access a person’s “inner knowing” so they can unlock and release tension in their body.

Sound healing is effective because it works on so many levels of the human experience. Sound affects our mental, emotional, and physical states. From a mental standpoint, it influences our moods, emotions, and cognitive process. From an emotional standpoint, it influences our feelings and moods. From a physical standpoint, sound can influence our hearts, our blood flow, and the amount of chemicals released in our body. Because sound affects all of these aspects of our being, it can be used to support all aspects of our lives.

A Shamanic Reiki Journey is an altered state of consciousness during which you experience healing through intention. In this state, you are in touch with your inner healing and guidance system and can receive messages from your Self.

The Shamanic Reiki Journey is an integration of Shamanic practices like Shamanic drumming and Reiki, which can help you receive a deeper healing experience.

YOUR LIGHT IS HUGE!

Never underestimate the power of your light to chase away the dark. For there are many of us out here standing together. We just have to practice, practice, practice!

You too have choices to make:

What do you want to be?

What do you want to do?

What do you want to have?

After the loss of a love, it is so easy to shut down, draw in, retreat. So easy to forget the touch, the support, the love. So easy to forget that Love is always available from Source.

Yet as Maya Angelou so profoundly reminds us, we need only trust love one more time. For today, we can trust Love – the Love of Spirit, the Universe, the One. That Love which is larger than us, all encompassing, always there, the light that never goes out. It breathes us – we are IT.

We talk about goals and intentions – what we want to do, but we don’t often look at what we would change. I’m going to encourage you to give yourself a great gift this year. Can you do that? Can you commit to YOU?

Find out if you are in control of your thoughts or is it the other way around. If thinking is an addiction, then choose to break the habit.

(Whoa, thinking can be an addiction? Why does this resonate so strongly?)
