Now is the Time for Self-care
You’re probably feeling it – The Shift. So much changing and shifting is happening in our bodies, homes, communities, and world. That shift is happening at both a material level and an energetic level. We feel it in our bones and in our very beings. How do you manage the swiftness and sudden need for pivoting? How do you manage the daily challenges you encounter? To me, one key is self-care practices that keep one grounded and centered.
If you have found a practice that already works for you, that’s great! Don’t skip it. Practice it every day. Engaging with your practice at the same time of day can be useful as routine itself can be grounding and centering. I particularly like walking barefoot, getting into water, walking in nature, journaling, drinking a slow cup of tea, practicing gratitude, doing something kind for another and connecting with positive people.
Weekly Self-care Tips Available
If you are looking to expand your self-care routine, add or try something new, check out my weekly self-care tips on YouTube! Videos are usually 2 – 3 minutes and will uplift and encourage you while also explaining the technique. These tips are often simple and easy, yet powerful! If you like the channel, please subscribe. That way each new video will come directly to your inbox when published.
Self-care at Your Fingertips
If you like reading and seeing things in print, you might enjoy my nine-week program as laid out in Me Time: Self-care in a Challenging World. In this book, I’ll walk you through self-care options that take as little as one minute or as much as a day. I know you have your own ways of combating stress, seeking balance, and finding focus and purpose in life. I also know it is not always a smooth journey. Sometimes it is just nice to get a fresh perspective or new ideas or know that someone is cheering you on as you create and expand healthy habits for a balanced life. That is what I wish to do for you. I hope the many tools shared and explained in Me Time nurture you and bring better balance to your mind, body, and soul.
Categories include tools to calm and focus the mind, feed the intellect, nourish the body, feed the spirit, open the heart, and be nourished by nature. Me Time includes specific step-by-step instructions for each tool while infusing engaging and interesting personal anecdotes. You’ll also find a one-page handy list of all the tips for easy reference.
Me Time is available in print from Brenda (in person or mailed) or online as a Kindle Ebook. Learn how to order this and other books by Brenda at https://celestialsoundgb.com/book-store. Or use the button below to order your Ebook.
Healing Sounds and Vibrations
If you’d like to boost your mental, emotional and physical wellness while having the gongs all to yourself, we can do that, too! Did you know I offer individual sound sessions at Celestial Sound in Suamico right on the Bay? All three of my gongs are there (the 28″ Paiste symphonic, the 24″ wind gong, and the 32″ Chinese chau gong). It will be my pleasure to kindly listen to whatever is coming up for you to be healed, let go, or transformed. Together, we will create an intention just for you and then hold that intention during your private gong sound bath.
If you wish to record the sound session, you are welcome to do so. In addition, I will send my notes on our session, including the wording for your intention. That way you can review and return to the session whenever you wish.
Therapeutic sound is a powerful healing modality! And engaging with it regularly – just as you would with chiropractic care or massage – can keep you clear and balanced. For those interested in ongoing maintenance, look for the PACKAGE option (5 sessions for $175 – that’s $35/session) at Vagaro.com/celestialsound under “services”.
Invest in Yourself with a Retreat
As summer winds down, so too can the full blast pace of life. Why not plan a recharge with a retreat or an extended sound bath? If you’d like that recharge to involve gongs, I have a few options for you: Inner Wisdom Retreat on Sept. 12th, Extended Sound Bath + Reiki: Body Bliss on Sept 26th or Balancing The Heart Chakra on November 1st.
What’s Go’ng On?

So, don’t miss the opportunity to come to my home studio on the Bay and hang out during this FREE Customer Appreciation Event. The open house is 6:00 – 8:30 PM, Saturday, September 13th.
