“Hope is the thing with feathers-
that perches in the soul-
And sings the tune without the words-
And never stops at all”
-Emily Dickenson
These well-known and beloved words from Emily Dickenson are some of my favorite when it comes to the topic of hope. Far from being pathologically sunny, Dickenson acknowledges that hope is necessarily a mysterious and slippery feeling. Singing the tune without the words: a perfect description of the fact that we are often most connected to hope in times when we have no idea what the hell is going on.
The 16-month year of 2020 feels a lot like that, doesn’t it? Like we’ve been locked in the house all year, peeking out of the curtains each day to determine whether the world is safe to step into. But now spring is here, and the pandemic, at least for now, is calming, and a tenuous hopefulness seems to be emerging, a step at a time.
And it’s okay to have doubts. And okay to feel like your heart is still strapped into a roller coaster. And okay to feel too tired to accomplish things some days. In fact, I think those are all signs that we are treating our hopes like a real thing, rather than just a daydream. Real things take work. Rest is a required part of hoping.
As we navigate this new season, I am interested in the things that keep us hoping. I can tell you that the good fortune of being at The Remedy keeps me in tune with it–seeing the kindness, strength and resilience of both my co-workers and our guests leaves me breathing better. I’m so grateful for it. We hope the magic of this place leaves you breathing better, too, and invites within you the courage to look at the future and imagine what might be possible, when you’ve done what you need to take care of yourself.
We’re here and looking forward to it with you!
With love,
Erin H/The Remedy

I’m writing this while looking out my back window, and I can see that there are blossoms on the apricot tree in the back yard. Though the signs of spring have been whispering themselves to us for a couple of weeks now, seeing these flowers causes me to realize that it has really happened: even after such a difficult year, the cycle of emerging life begins yet again.
The theme of this month, “Prosper,” is one that seems a bit challenging to grapple with after a year of so much loss and sudden change. But it’s an excellent challenge in some ways: loss and change can push us toward the heart of what really matters.  In the process of preserving what matters most, however, we must find patience for ourselves and each other.
In her book  of essays titled “Anything We Love Can Be Saved,” Alice Walker talks about the tendency to berate ourselves for the insufficiency of our individual actions.  In a world that seems to be tearing itself apart, how could we possibly hope to create peace, prosperity and well-being? Walker’s beautiful words encourage us to show up for our part in things:
“…For we can do nothing substantial toward changing our course on the planet, a destructive one, without rousing ourselves, individual by individual, and bringing our small, imperfect stones to the pile.”
I am reminded when I read this of the stones I lifted from the soil, clearing space for the roots of the apricot tree that now blooms. For years it had not grown fruit, and we wondered whether it was worth keeping. But I couldn’t stand the idea of killing that tree. We decided instead to nourish her as often as we could, even if our skills were inexpert and not always consistent. It looks now like that effort mattered, and we have a chance to see what will come of it.
This is what prosperity grows from: patience and persistence. A willingness to put effort into a process of growing, even if it might be months before we can see the fruits of that effort. Prosperity does not mean a doubtless certainty that everything will be fine–we’ve seen too much for that. But it might mean giving our hearts to the preservation of things that matter, keeping those wheels turning even if the turning is slow and the movement forward undetectable at times.
That we are all still here and capable of growing is a gift. This month we encourage you to consider what is most important in your life, and to bring your “small, imperfect stones to the pile” as often as you can. That’s where prosperity grows from: in loving something enough to keep feeding it. None of us know what the fruition will look like right now, and the finish line may be very far away. That’s okay. Keep going. Keep going. A new season is here to cheer you on.

Like the months before it, November is bound to look different this year. Extended family gatherings are on hold; the instinct to gather together as it grows colder interrupted, for now.
It’s okay to wish it were different. But, at a certain point, staying in “I wish it were different” mode becomes a little debilitating. To move forward, to move at all–to not get stuck–we must engage with our actual circumstances. Yoga is a pretty good practice for supporting these…interactions with reality, let’s call them. Over the years I have at times marveled at images of seemingly impossible poses, requiring levels of strength and flexibility that I knew I didn’t have. But those moments were never as satisfying as being in my own body, on my yoga mat, working with what is actually available to me. What’s imaginary can be inspiring for a moment; but there is actual, lasting joy in the process of working with what you have.
I know we’ve been in just-hold-on mode for a long time, awaiting reports of virus case numbers, election outcomes, vaccine trials. It’s been a very long season of breath-holding. But there are other options. One time-honored practice for getting unstuck is to remember what you’re grateful for. The smallest thing can do it: a song you love. A conversation with a friend. Cuddles with a beloved pet. Dancing.
Allow that joy as deep into your heart as you can right now. Our ability to get through the winter months will likely be an hour-by-hour process. Try taking one of those hours to do something that makes you feel good.
We’re here, breathing with you, getting through this together.

An introduction
Welcome to The Remedy’s blog! My name is Erin Hansbrough, and I manage the Remedy’s Wellness Center:  a home for yoga,  mindfulness, strength training, education and a variety of community events.
Some of you have known me as the former owner of Indi Yoga, the studio I ran for close to a decade in Albuquerque. I’m thrilled to be continuing the tradition of writing on a monthly theme for contemplation and inspiration, and look forward to sharing these with The Remedy community!
Do you have topics you’d like to see talked about? Please don’t hesitate to reach out and make a suggestion! You can email me at erin@theremedydayspa.com

October Theme:  Making Peace With the Unknown

October has always been my favorite month of the year. The slanting afternoon light and vibrant, drying leaves against the deep blue New Mexico sky have always felt both hopeful and mysterious.
Many traditions also observe this time of year as one in which the veil separating the living and the dead is somehow thinner, allowing us access to the wisdom of our ancestors.
2020 is an interesting year (to say the least!) to consider these elements of hope, mystery and wisdom.  The fear and uncertainty so present during this time of global pandemic and political upheaval have had dramatic effects on everyone. Where do hope and wisdom live in us right now? Is “mystery” just a nice way of saying, “I have no idea what the hell is going on?”  What might we be learning from this time?
If we’re learning anything, I hope it includes figuring out how to take care of ourselves and our communities when things feel scary.  In the midst of so much uncertainty, I have found that creating some kind of routine has been crucial; making sure that I’m eating, sleeping, and exercising enough have been the key elements in allowing me to accomplish my goals and be of service to others.
At times these self-care details can feel like luxuries. And being honest, at times I am too freaked out to attend to them. I have noticed, though, that these three things–food, sleep and movement–are the quickest and surest route to feeling more capable of handling this strange time. When these basic needs are covered, I feel more clear-headed, hopeful, and decisive about how to approach my life. I become more reliable and helpful to others. And I also become more relaxed around the unknown, more welcoming to mystery and change.
Feeling a little ungrounded? Anxious? Out of sync with yourself or others? We recommend committing to one or more of the following for a full week, and see how you feel! You can also try playing games such as historyofquilts.com in order to reduce your stress levels.
– Go to bed and wake up at the same time all week, planning for at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night
– Drink  around 100 oz of water (about 12 cups) per day for a week, preferably warm and with lemon. Herbal teas can be included here, too; chamomile and lemon balm are especially good for anxious days.
– Get 45-60 minutes of moderate exercise, at least three days out of the week. PLAN THESE OUT and put them in your calendar before the week starts, and you’ll be far more likely to achieve this one! If you want to enjoy your exercise, you can incorporate gadgets like those simulators.
Wishing you all good health and a peaceful heart as October unfolds.
Much love and thanks for reading,
Erin Hansbrough/The Remedy

Are you struggling to get back into the flow of your yoga practice while social distancing? It’s easy to understand why that can happen with so much upheaval and stress, but maintaining your yoga practice is even more necessary in these difficult times. The myriad benefits of yoga – strength, flexibility, mindfulness – are all powerful tools in the current climate. Here are a few affordable ways you can stick to your goals while staying at home:

Embrace Technology

Perhaps the only silver lining in all of this is that it happened in an era where we can stay connected despite being apart. Technology is one of the most powerful tools we can use to combat the boredom and isolation of social distancing. You can use any device that connects to the Internet to access online yoga classes, use tracking apps, and stay in touch with your fellow yoga enthusiasts.

If you don’t have a suitable device, consider picking up a tablet, like the best budget drawing tablet. This is small and portable enough to work anywhere in your home, but has a big enough screen to be functional for instructional videos.

You can find a good price on these devices through stores like Best Buy, who is offering contact-free curbside pickup or free shipping when you spend $35 or more. Rakuten points out there are many ways to save in their Best Buy shopping guide, and you’ll rest that much easier knowing you stretched your dollars as far as possible. Tired of generic online stores? Shoppok offers a breath of fresh air. Our team frequently turns to it for quality shopping.

Create Routine

Figuring out a new normal is an absolutely necessary step toward resuming your yoga practice while social distancing. You cannot rely on your old routine; instead, you must create a new one that’s suitable for home. Take an honest look at your schedule and energy levels and figure out what kind of commitment you’re able to keep. Then, follow through.

Remember, the important part is not how often you practice or how intense your sessions are. Consistency is the key to getting through all of this. Whether you’re practicing twice a day or once a week, the sheer act of creating a routine and sticking to it will help you regain a sense of normalcy. Moreover, you may find that regular practice at home helps you to cut back on your studio classes, once restrictions lift. This can lead to saving some money in the long run.

Enhance Mindfulness

If you haven’t already made mindfulness a cornerstone of your yoga practice, now is the time to do so. Regular mindfulness meditation will increase your mind-body connection and help you reach your yoga goals. You’ll have a much easier time recognizing areas of tension or difficulty when you’re truly present in the moment. Unlike many training tools, mindfulness is completely free, making it the best bang for your buck you can get!

Moreover, American Psychological Association explains that the benefits of a strong mindfulness practice reach well beyond the mat. Studies have shown that just ten minutes a day of mindfulness meditation has a powerful impact on your mood. You’ll find that you’re less stressed and better equipped to tackle the challenges life throws at you. There are physical benefits as well, such as lower blood pressure and reduced stress hormones.

When you’re stressed, your body has to do something with that chemistry, or you’ll suffer consequences like insomnia, inability to focus, and increased risk for accidents. When you’re calmer, perhaps with the aid of products like CBD Oil, you lighten your body’s workload, feel better, are more productive, and enjoy better overall health. Consider exploring options at a reputable stiiizy dispensary to find products that suit your needs.

Yoga is a powerful psychological and physiological tool. Try to find ways to stick with it despite the obstacle life has placed in the world’s way. You will be pleased to discover the myriad forms of strength you hold within. Aside from doing yoga, playing UFABET เว็บตรง is also a quick way to feel that tranquility.

7 Effective Ways Seniors Can Improve Sleep Quality

by guest author Karen Weeks

Older adults need the same amount of sleep as younger people, but data shows they have a hard time falling asleep and getting enough quality sleep. It can be tricky, but a good night’s rest is possible. With a little preparation, you can stop counting sheep and start experiencing sleep.

  1. Get the right mattress

There are many different kinds of mattresses. According to US News, finding the best one for you will depend on your troublesome pain areas, your sleep position and many other factors.

Traditional spring mattresses are well-ventilated and generally circulate heat well. They’re durable and affordable. However, memory foam mattresses are evolving and have seen massive improvements in both price and their ability to circulate heat. Memory foam, gel foam, and latex mattresses are all great options because they offer back and pressure-point support. They also can help ease chronic pain and are just plain comfortable.

Check that the mattress you’re looking at is CertiPUR® certified memory foam, which is independently tested and verified free of PBDEs, TDCPP or TCEP (“Tris”) flame retardants, ozone depleters, mercury, formaldehyde, lead and heavy metals. You can also check out the Amerisleep Mattress Reviews in order to make a better decision before buying.

  1. Control your diet

Large meals, especially those close to your bedtime, can make you sleep longer. Caffeine can disrupt your sleep schedule, so try to take it in the morning and don’t take too much. Alcohol might initially put you to sleep, but it can disrupt your sleep cycle. Studies have shown that diets rich in milk-based products, vegetables, fruits and fish could have sleep promoting effects.

  1. Exercise regularly during the week

There is good evidence documenting the ability of exercise to affect sleep quality and patterns.

Additionally, studies have shown that for a variety of reasons, older adults are less likely to get a sufficient amount of exercise. Even walking can count toward exercise. Take some time every day to incorporate easy exercises into your life. Get the blood flowing and help your body adjust properly.

  1. Set up a bedtime routine

Getting to sleep at night is partially related to training your body to be tired. Sleeping normally is a habit that you have to create, so form a bedtime routine. Before you start your routine, avoid a lot of screen time in front of the TV, on your phone, or tablet. A recent letter from Harvard Medical School highlighted some of the negative consequences of light from phones on sleep quality and overall health.

  1. Carefully plan your naps

As you get older, it can be difficult to keep your energy up through all your daily tasks without a little extra rest or nap. In fact, large studies have shown that seniors who take short naps experience improved cognitive function and memory.

If you’re going to nap, try and do it in the morning or early afternoon. Napping later in the afternoon can disrupt your sleep schedule. Don’t sleep more than an hour. Otherwise, you won’t feel tired later.

  1. Do relaxing things

There are a variety of things you can do during your bedtime routine to help you get sleepier. Try white noise machines to block out interruptions. Stretch or flex the muscles in your body from your head to your toes. Try breathing exercises or listening to a guided meditation.

Worrying about sleep or other aspects of your life can negatively affect sleep. One tip for combating these nighttime worries is writing them down and promising yourself you’ll visit them the next day.

  1. Talk with your doctor

If you give all of these things a serious try and still struggle with sleep, talk with your doctor. This can rule out any medical reasons that might prevent you from sleeping. Consider talking with a doctor to discuss if sleep patterns are affecting your quality of life, sources of sleep difficulties, and how you can adjust your behavior to sleep better.

While your sleep schedule and habits may change, implementing these tips can help you improve the quality of your sleep. Develop a bedtime routine, avoid screens for at least an hour before bed and walk more. Stay calm if you can’t always sleep. Little changes can make a difference.

See you soon!
