      <image:title>Blog - A Lesson in Lymphatics - Let's become consciously aware of our lymphatic health.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lymphatic blockage and stagnancy shows up in myriad ways for myriad reasons, some examples being lymphedema, leg or abdominal swelling occurring with the menstrual cycle, post-surgical swelling, and recurrent puffiness in the hands or face. Lymphatic drainage massage gently addresses these issues through sweeping and pumping motions that aid lymph flow and leave the client feeling lighter, flushed, and relaxed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Art of Self-Love - Staying Hydrated</image:title>
      <image:caption>The benefits are well-known but overlooked; hydration keeps our nerves and soft tissues healthy, adaptive, and pliable. We need hydration to keep our muscles from spasming. Hydration is deepest when the water contains trace minerals and micro amounts of sugar; drinking herbal tea covers both of these bases.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This act of self-love is a step-up in difficulty from the last, but is so important for our nervous system. Making doctor, auto, or bodywork appointments while we’re already at the office means we don’t have that spike of cortisol every time it comes to mind. Its’ already taken care of, one less thing our tired minds need to keep a leash on. All you have to do is arrive!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For one that feels like a treat, try self-massage. Even five minutes of applying muscle oil to your shoulders, or stretching the neck by tilting the head side-to-side, go a long way in bringing the body back to a parasympathetic state.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Breathwork as a Whole-Body Healer - Subtle stressors throughout our day put our bodies in the well-known sympathetic nervous state:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our blood vessels constrict, our pulse goes up, and, namely, our breath tends to quicken. This lessens the amount of oxygen we take in, and our circulation cannot get everywhere it is required.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Breathwork as a Whole-Body Healer - Breathwork is easy to sneakily incorporate into your daily routine. It requires no tools besides a willingness to pause your thinking, even briefly.</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are loads of psychological and meditative benefits that those with a breathwork practice report, such as greater focus, emotional regulation, and reduced reactivity. We hope breathwork meets you with ease during this time of year when many push for grind-centered changes to daily life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Letters of Embodiment: What is Non-Sleep Deep Rest?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Craig Levergood writes that NSDR can help lower the body’s response to internal and external stressors, meaning regular practice can improve your overall sense of well-being and reduce feelings of fatigue and stress. Research has shown that NSDR can help lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. It can also improve immune function and increase the production of endorphins, which promote feelings of happiness.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was born and raised in Tokyo, but my family stretches between Tokyo and Osaka — two cities that, if you know Japan, feel like different worlds. Tokyo is sharp, modern, efficient. Osaka is warm, loud, and deeply food-obsessed in the most loving way. Growing up between these two cultures taught me something early: that Japan is not one thing. It is layered, regional, nuanced, and full of a wisdom that doesn't announce itself.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>What I didn't fully realize until much later is that all of those practices — the martial art, the music, the movement — share the same underlying philosophy. They are all practices of presence. Of attention. Of doing one thing fully, without distraction. Japan has a thousand ways of teaching this. Most of them don't look like "wellness" from the outside. They just look like a life lived with care.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Japanese Beliefs &amp; Spirituality Japan is a land where ancient and living faiths exist side by side — and often, beautifully blended within the same person. In this session, we explore how Japanese people observe multiple beliefs and religion throughout the year. Brief history of how these traditions wove together over centuries into something uniquely Japanese. You'll learn how Japanese alternate visiting Shinto shrines to Buddhist temples naturally with deep respect to both religions. While adapting foreign philosophies and thought leadership such as Lao Tsu and Confucius. Topics covered: Observing “Religion” is not a formal practice for most Japanese Zen Buddhism and it’s influence on Japanese society Japanese native spiritual practice - Shintoism and it’s origin Chinese philosophy and thought leadership Shinbutsu Shugo - blending of faiths and keeping the harmony How these faiths are practiced in daily life in Japan</image:caption>
