Welcome to the Spirit of Touch Blog. The aim of this blog is to provide you with the information you need to help maintain the benefits you have gained from your treatment at Spirit of Touch.
I’ll be posting on a variety of topics. Under the food as medicine category, I will be discussing the effects of different types of food on health and well-being as well as sharing more recipes and remedies beyond the most common ones I have placed on the Remedies page. An important element of this is harmonising your diet with the seasons: eating food that warms your body in winter, eating foods that cool you in summer and foods that assist your body with the change in seasons.
In addition to a focus on food, this blog will also be focused on movement. Yoga postures are another way to maintain your sense of well-being between treatments and even 20 minutes of yoga several times a week targeted to your needs can have a significant effect on how you feel. As with food as medicine, the type of movement our bodies need changes with the seasons (as well as with age) and I’ll be discussing how to modify and changes yoga poses at different times of the year.
In addition to finding this blog a useful resource, I hope that you will use it to ask more questions, share your experiences, and ask me for more information. I recognise that each of us has very individual needs when it comes to diet and movement but there are similarities as well and others may benefit from your experiences with Zen Shiatsu, your yoga practice or your experiences with new and interesting foods.
Stay tuned for more posts as well as upcoming web specials to celebrate the birth of the Spirit of Touch Website!
