			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A simple concept, yet so easily overlooked. Me time is daily time spent with yourself, just for you. A time to connect with your thoughts and feelings, and if done in the morning may allow you to set your intentions for the day.</p>
<p>I like to spend it outdoors, or curled up on the couch&#8230;some days I just go with my flowing thoughts, others I write things down. Me Time can be and look like whatever you need that day. That&#8217;s how I treat it, and that is why I find it so beneficial. It allows me to tune-in with myself so that I can bring the best of me forward. Everyday.</p>
<p>However you decide to spend your &#8220;me time&#8221; is up to you. The important thing is to do it. Even if for 15 minutes a day. Just have that time to spend with yourself. You&#8217;ll quickly find out you&#8217;re worth it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time away from the day-to-day, even from a familiar environment just does the soul good. However, have you ever wondered why most of the time when returning from a vacation, you feel like you would need another to get over the first one?</p>
<p>Well, here&#8217;s my theory&#8230;every thing, place, or person as we know it is made up of molecules that vibrate at a certain frequency to create that specific thing, place, or person. Generally, either by instinct or knowledge, we tend to choose &#8220;getaway&#8221; vacation spots &#8211;  naturally vibrating at a lower frequency than where we spend most of our time &#8211; to relax. Places with less people, buildings, cars&#8230;just less going on in general.</p>
<p>The biggest benefit of visiting one of these places is that it effectively helps to bring down our frequency from the higher level most of us tend to operate at when you combine all the activity of  day-to-day life &#8211;  work, chores, children, pets and play. If you think about it, the amount of time it takes for someone to &#8220;wind down&#8221; on vacation really depends on how far they need to go to get closer to the vibration or &#8220;groove&#8221; of where they are visiting.</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve finally found the vacation &#8220;groove&#8221;, most likely two days before you have to leave as luck would have it, but regardless&#8230;you&#8217;ve found it and you are in the flow. Those few days later when you are back home and re-integrating, the process is much the same but in reverse. And I believe it is precisely this upward shift that is required to get us back to the higher vibration of our day-to-day that  initially wipes us out upon our return. Thus, leaving us feeling exhausted from the get-go and with the unfulfilled feeling of needing a second vacation.</p>
<p>My solution to this madness is to be aware of my own personal vibration level (in a natural state) and keep it within an acceptable range of that state no matter where I am in this big world. At home or abroad. It&#8217;s not easy I&#8217;ll tell you that, but it is possible. Once you realize that everything outside of yourself is its own entity and you can only control however you are feeling or acting, in any given moment, then balancing your state of being becomes a smaller task to take on.</p>
<p>Try it on for size and let me know what changes in yourself, and others, you discover. You may be surprised!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having practiced Bikram yoga years ago for several years, I have recently re-integrated yoga into my life with Yin Meditation. This type of yoga focuses on flexibility and relaxation, and will cover maybe 5 or 6 poses in a one hour class. The goal is to stay in a pose long enough that you can really live the stretch and feel the effects, all in a positive flow of energy. My weekly class at the end of the day has quickly become an essential part of my week.</p>
<p>It is an excellent way to increase flexibility, presence of mind and inner strength while releasing toxins and decreasing stress.<br />
I encourage you to find the closest studio offering Yin near you, and try it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Never underestimate the power of knowledge. Learning new things opens doors and brings opportunities, being reminded of things we already know often provides a renewed confidence. Learning is essential to our evolution, as it is through personal knowledge that we can develop the power to change.</p>
<p>This fuel for the soul is a simple request, to ask you &#8220;What can you include in your life to learn?&#8221; Maybe it&#8217;s reading a book, listening to your own inner thoughts more and discovering what they mean, watching a documentary, taking a class. Whichever way you decide to learn, look forward to the insights, experiences, and open doors that it will surely bring to you!</p>
