Expression of Love In February we have one day
set aside to celebrate love. This day is reserved to express our deep
affection, love and devotion for family and friends- those people in our
lives that bring joy to our hearts, a smile to our face, and a spring to
our step. Love whether it is exciting
and new or tame and routine is essential to overall health and wellbeing.
Researchers have conducted many studies on the effects of expressing love
and affection for others. Writing love notes can
reduce cholesterol levels (2007 issue 33 of Human Communication Research),
showing care and concern for others slows the aging process
(HeartMathInstitute), reduces pain and strengthens the immune system (The
Institute for the Advancement of Health) and hugging can help the heart by
lowering blood pressure and cortisol levels (University of NC, July/August
2005 issue of Psychosomatic Medicine). The fullest expression can
often be accomplished with the simplest touch- an uplifting smile, a
helping hand, or a yoga adjustment. So this Valentines day show your love
by expressing your love. Think outside the heart shaped box, forget about
the flowers and chocolate, and give the gift of love,
health and happiness. Upcoming Events/News (Extended through February) WIN $50.00 cash! Simply come to a class and enter to win our monthly drawing. Congratulations to our January winner (Drum Roll PLEASE) Stephanie Ripley !!!! Schedule Changes The Tuesday and Thursday
