Mindfulness Is For Everyone
Wikipedia Definition of Mindfulness: “Mindfulness is the practice of bringing one’s attention to the internal and external experiences occurring in the present moment,
[1] which can be developed through the practice of meditation.[1] The term “mindfulness” is a translation of the Pali-term sati,[2] which is a significant element of some Buddhist traditions. The popular mindfulness movement was initiated by Jon Kabat-Zinn.”
You can achieve stress release easily for those of you who carry tension in your back, neck, and shoulders. This is great for people who sit a lot, work at computers constantly, or who do lots of activities requiring bending from the waist or neck. 
They are easy to do, and you will gain flexibility if you continue to do them one or more times a day. You can get relief in less than three minutes! Here is a short demonstration.
What if it comes back and you forgot where you saw this demonstration? I’ve got you covered!
To ensure you can always find it again, without coming back to this post, here is the YouTube link.
In the video, I refer to sessions that people book for healing in absentia. To learn more about my ‘summer of the pandemic’ reduced prices, Click Here. You don’t have to do anything except to keep on breathing. I do all the work. For the summer, the prices are drastically reduced, which enables people to have more sessions.
The feedback I’ve been getting is wonderful! Here are a couple of testimonials that describe what it’s like to have a healing session in absentia and in person. The first one is from a client in California (I live in Virginia). During the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been doing Reiki and other healing modalities for her “in absentia.” That means, we are not together, and I do not see her at the time of the session. This one is from July 2020.
“I have always been aa firm believer in holistic health and wellness. I had been receiving treatment for PTSD brought on my a car accident. Before I could complete my face-to-face treatment, the Covid-19 pandemic hit and everything came to a stop. I was no longer able to do the follow-up treatments of acupuncture and Reiki as I had planned.I knew Nancy was skilled in several modalities of holistic healing and hypnotherapy, but I didn’t see a way to make use of her services given that she is on the east coast and I live on the west coast.During one of our daily chats she mentioned that she was doing distance Reiki with another person. That was music to my ears and an answer to the dilemma that I was experiencing. The pandemic had shutdown my access to holistic treatment for PTSD and I wasn’t able to get restful sleep or maintain emotional balance.I immediately inquired about enrolling for distance treatment. Happily she agreed and I am so grateful. It is a wonderful feeling to wake up calm and relaxed. Not only that but to go to bed with back and shoulder pain and wake up free to stretch and feel invigorated is so freeing. I haven’t experienced such a feeling of calm and wellbeing since the auto accIdent last September.No more hanging on the side of my bed wondering if I have enough strength and stamina to get moving.This wonderful woman has also touched on some of my emotional challenges that I never even mentioned. Before I could tell her about them, she was explaining to me her “sense” of what she experienced in session that paralleled my emotional and spiritual condition.I am so glad I gave myself this gift of healing. Thank you, Nancy.”
I have known Ayanna since 1986, when I first met her as her client for Reiki work. She worked with me to help me recover from back and neck injuries, stress related illness, and fatigue.
Ayanna is a compassionate intuitive, intellectual where she excels in understanding the whole individual to get to the root of complex problems.
She is rigorous in her own exploration of holistic and spiritual development, emotional healing, experiential work, relationships and group dynamics. Through her own life experiences, triumphs as well as losses, she gives her unique perspective on spirituality and the human journey. Ayanna is comfortable and adept at weaving her spiritual strengths into her ability to empathize while maintaining a professional distance. She has shown an enduring dedication toward self-study, focus and ongoing personal and professional development.
Of course, there are other ways to relax and relieve stress. This one is for the entire body, and it aerobicizes you at the same time. It is the world-famous, original chi machine. Five minutes of lying on the floor while the chi machine sways you is equivalent to a half-hour walk. To learn more, Click Here. Yes, I do sell these and will be happy to answer your questions. However, the primary purpose of this post is to give you a freebie demonstration of how to gain stress release through simple movements that cost you nothing!
Stress Less and Change Your Life!
I’m about to play a trick on you now. I’m going to take the teachings of Matthew E. May, in his New York Times article, Achieving Mindfulness at Work, No Meditation Cushion Required, and change the utilization of his wisdom. He says,
There are two approaches to mindfulness: Eastern and Western. The Eastern view indeed positions meditation as an essential tool to achieving a mindful state. But the Eastern view is more about quieting the mind and suspending thought. This philosophy is almost the complete opposite of the Western view of mindfulness, which centers on active thinking.
I recommend that you read his whole article, which is thoughtful and well-written. Matthew is the author of a book, entitled, Winning the Brain Game. Let’s explore the above concept a bit first.

Gardening
We’re mentioning types of gardens and talking about both mental and physical health benefits related to any style of gardening. 
You don’t have to be a Master Gardener to benefit physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from working with plants. There may even be value for Alzheimer’s patients and for people suffering from depression. Interestingly, PsychCentral (famous for its personality type tests) mentions gardening in its article, 10 Small Steps You Can Take Today To Improve Bipolar Disorder.
Whether you have one orchid, a Japanese garden, an English Country Garden, a terrarium, a bonsai plant, or pots in a windowsill, gardening can help you feel better fast, at any age.
Maybe you have an indoor or outdoor aeroponic garden, or you want to create a veggie Tower Garden, which allows you to avoid having to dig, weed, use pesticides, and mulch. You could choose a cactus dish garden, a water garden, or a tabletop garden.
Perhaps, you want to attract birds, bees, or butterflies. There are so many options.
We’ll discuss the mental and physical health benefits of gardening in just a hot minute. But first, here is a very short tribute to someone who has been an uplifting blessing in my life for years.
What does job hunting have to do with wellness? That’s easy. Lack of employment and/or loss of job can cause enormous stress, which is hazardous to your health. So, I am adding this class to those listed on My Get Well Guru’s offerings.
You have to do a lot more than just cross your fingers to be successful in today’s job environment.
I have been involved in hiring procedures, as well as supervisory functions, during most of my extensive business career. I even created a complete Human Resources Department “from scratch” for a company in New York City once upon a time. Plus, I have learned a lot from current Recruiters in a tough job market, where the rules, procedures, and expectations “ain’t what they used to be.” Here are some examples.
Recently, I compiled a resume and cover letter for a Virginia construction engineer who is also a cost estimator. He hired me as a professional writer for this task. Despite the tough job market, he was offered the job ~ on the phone ~ from the company headquarters in California ~ immediately upon the company’s receipt of his materials! In addition, they hired him after having already decided on a different applicant to whom they were about to offer the job. It was Thrilling (and he wrote a great testimonial for me)!
I also created a job hunting class, which gives tips to entry-level job seekers, as well as to old pros. It is available for individuals and groups, as is my class on whether to and how to start a business, if you think the time is right to venture forth.
You can take my class. You can book me for either writing or editing services for your application materials. Also, you can do both! However, if you do book me to provide the writing services, you will get the class free of charge, as well as a free template for thank-you letters.
Do whatever is likely to give you the greatest chance of victory after you read the class description below the victory image.
