Reconnect with Mother Earth
There are so many ways to connect with others in this day and age of iPhones, Facebook, Twitter, blogging, YouTube and more. It’s fun and easy to do but we must be sure that connecting via technology is not the only connecting that we do.
Make time each day to step outside, look up at the sky, take in the fresh air, listen to the birds and feel Mother Earth beneath your feet as you reconnect with nature. There is no need to do anything except enjoy the moment and mindfully take it all in. Allow your heart to connect with the essence of this world, open up and listen to your intuition.
We lead such busy lives that we can sometimes allow it to run us. Take control of yours today by making some time to pull away from technology every day, even if it’s only for a few moments. You’ll find a deeper sense of belonging growing inside of you as you reconnect to life and nature.
This is the first step in becoming connected and aware of life around us. At CNY Healing Arts we offer yoga, meditation classes and workshops which our clients find extremely useful for fostering a greater connection to the universe as well as cultivating an ability to live in the moment, the now. Check out our online calendar for some upcoming events and please join us for a class or workshop with like minded people looking to create more peace and love in this world while making it important to connect with nature and life all around.
Your Body is a Temple: Honor It!
We believe you should treat your body like it’s a temple and honor it by taking the best care of it that you can, after all, it’s the only one you’ve got. There are so many things you can do each and every day to give thanks to your body. When you’re body is taken care of well you feel good, you are able to do more, it doesn’t hold you back with aches, pains and limitations. Learn to listen to your body and inner voice, it’s there to help you keep it working at it’s best.
What does this mean and how do you apply it to your life and your body? There are so many ways for you to give thanks to your body and honor it, below are just a few.
- Daily Meditation: even if it’s just 5 minutes of closing your eyes, sitting still and focusing on breathing in and breathing out.
- Yoga: daily, weekly, an at-home practice and/or on the mat in our studio. This will help you connect your body and mind for a more balanced way of living.
- Massage: this may seem like it’s a “treat” or an “indulgence” or something that people only do when they have aches and pains. Not true. Massage can simply be looked at as being proactive about your health and well-being. If you take vitamins to keep yourself healthy, why not a regular massage?
- Acupuncture: this Eastern practice is again not just to be utilized when you are having a health problem, look at it as a way to stay healthy, and keep feeling good.
There are many things you can do to take care of yourself. The point is to be sure to look at them as necessary, and do them. Remember, you’ve only got one body! Please allow us at CNY Healing Arts Center the opportunity to assist you. We would love to be of service.

Help for Fall Allergy Season Sufferers
Fall means apple cider, pumpkins, the fresh smell of fallen leaves—and the return of allergy season for some people. Whether it’s ragweed, mold—or both that affect you, we at CNY Healing Arts Center wanted to share a few things below that can help prevent and alleviate some of your symptoms.
Clean up your leaves
Wet piles of fallen leaves are prime breeding grounds for leaf mold, and while leaf mold is valuable to your soil, it can send you into a frenzy of sneezing fits if you’re allergic. Clean up fallen leaves promptly, before they get wet and moldy and if at all possible have someone who is not allergic do it.
Clean your filters
Staying indoors when pollen counts are high is the most effective way to cut down on both mold and ragweed reactions—but not if you’re pumping in pollen from outside. Take the time now to clean or change your furnace filters, since ragweed pollen persists long after the temps turn cold.
Take vitamin C
Vitamin C has antihistamine activity. Taking supplements has been reported to help people with hay fever in preliminary research. Consider 3,000 – 6,000 mg of Vitamin C in divided doses, per day. Bioflavonoids such as Quercetin, might act synergistically with Vitamin C as both have antihistaminic activity. Some doctors of natural medicine advise people with hay fever to take 400 mg of Quercetin two to three times per day.
Your diet
Be sure to include these anti-inflammatory foods in your diet such as avacodos, extra virgin olive oil, ginger, omega fatty acis and tumeric. Diet can greatly influence allergic responsiveness or lack of it.
Get a massage
Massage Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage Massage not only treats those parts of you which are a problem, but also affects the whole of your metabolism through normalizing your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems and their interdependent functioning.
Massage for allergies can help clear mucus from the nose and throat.
