Reiki Body Scan
Lay down on a yoga mat or a dedicated space you feel comfy.
‘Dry bathe’ your body by brushing the backs of both your arms down with your hands, making a sweeping motion downward toward the floor. Repeat with the insides of both arms. Repeat 3 - 4 times.
Bring your hands to your heart to set an intention for your reiki practice.
Now imagine a beam of healing white light flowing into the top of your head and flowing down through your entire body, spreading healing energy as it goes.
Now bring your hands to the top of your head and slowly move them down over your entire body, hovering a couple of inches above you, to complete a body scan. Follow your hands with your breath and ‘breathe into’ each body part as you move over it.
If you feel any areas that feel slightly heavy or murky in their...

Legs up the wall pose
Legs Up the Wall Pose (or Viparita Karani) is a restorative yoga posture that allows the mind and the body to relax, relieving stress and tension.
It is one of the most approachable yoga poses as it doesn’t require much flexibility or strength. But even though it’s a passive pose, its benefits are pretty amazing.
Legs Up the Wall is also an excellent, calming pose for your morning or bedtime meditations.
Start by setting up a cozy space around a wall.
Next, shimmy your hips as close to the wall as possible, then start walking your feet up the wall until your body is in a somewhat L-shaped position.
Make any adjustments to facilitate a more relaxing space-- maybe place a pillow under your head, or let your arms rest on your belly or out to the sides.
At this point, focus on your breath-- try...

Write a letter to Your Younger Self
If you’ve ever sat down to write a letter when you’re mad or upset, you know the experience can be cathartic. It’s the same when you address the letter to yourself — your younger self.
Don’t let the past control your present. If you hold onto things that upset you, even if it's something you’ve done to yourself it can create a cloud of negativity that follows you.
Instead, face the past head-on with a letter to your younger self.
You may not even know what you want from the letter, and that’s okay, too. Just write!
You may want to confront past mistakes, write about anything that still bothers you, what you wish you had done, and where you ended up in life.
This letter may bring you a sense of clarity and compassion for yourself like never before.
Be honest...
When you feel healthy, you shine. Nothing can hold you back. You feel fit, strong, and full of vitality. Stresses can’t get you down. You sleep peacefully and wake ready to face the day. You glow with well-being. True wellness is a result of taking care of your body, inside and out.
Discover which USANA products can help support your whole body. And, explore healthy lifestyle habits that will help you live your healthiest life now.*
Feeling your best every day takes more than simply taking a multivitamin (although that’s a great start). Many USANA products can help dial up your daily well-being as part of a healthy lifestyle. The following products are generally recommended for most healthy adults to help support sleep, skin, energy, immunity, and overall wellness.*

Mirror Work
The most powerful affirmations are those you say out loud when you are in front of your mirror.
The mirror reflects back to you the feelings you have about yourself. It makes you immediately aware of where you are resisting and where you are open and flowing. It clearly shows you what thoughts you will need to change if you want to have a joyous, fulfilling life.
As you learn to do mirror work, you will become much more aware of the words you say and the things you do. You will learn to take care of yourself on a deeper level than you have done before.
Doing mirror work is one of the most loving gifts you can give yourself. It takes only a second to say, "You've got this" “Looking good” or "I'm so proud of you!" It’s so important to give yourself little positive messages throughout the day.
