Its that time of year again! The snow is blowing the days are short

and there is a chill in the air. Sacred Garden Within wants to share

with you some tips, tricks and information on how you can keep

your immunity up and maintain your energy!

Reiki is a non invasive energy based technique that helps to re-establish the energy flow within a person’s spiritual centre. It also helps to

boost your immune system by giving your nervous system a much needed break. Due to the intense relaxation you undergo during a

treatment, your body has time to rest and recharge leaving it ready to fight any colds or flu that is lurking around you. Reiki is also an

effective treatment for anxiety and depression...feeling that “cabin fever” a Reiki session can definitely help reduce the anxiety behind it.

Reiki is just one form of energy healing out there others that you may find are Shamballa, Axiatonal Alignment, and more. Check out

energy healing techniques around you, use your intuition you will know what is right for your needs!

Get some sun! Try to go for a walk between 6 and 8 am to

get your daily dose of the sun....too cold to go out? Sit by a

window while you eat breakfast or having your morning

coffee/tea

Throughout the day keep all blinds and shades open to help

optimize your sun intake, if you can move around and stay in

the sunniest spots around you

Keep yourself on a regular schedule. Make sure you got to

bed and get up at the same time every day...even on

weekends to keep yourself rested and refreshed every

morning.

It’s important to eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables

especially during the winter. Try to add raw fruits and

veggies to every meal.

Stick to a schedule for aerobic exercise, just 20 minutes a

day can make a bigger difference than you think! Don’t forget how much colour can affect your

mood....in the winter decorate your home and

workplace with a splash of colour to boost your

mood!

Decorate with sunny yellow throw pillows or

other accents to keep you feeling cheerful.

Keep indoor plants, having living plants around

you can boost you mood but especially

flowered plants because they can also add an

extra dash of colour to those winter days!
