Claire Bown has fascinating insights from years of study on how slow art benefits us and our communities. Check out her book The Art Engager and read on about an experiment she shared in her latest Substack.

Art Immersion: Evidence for attention restoration in museums
Navigating crowded urban environments can significantly deplete attentional resources over time, making individuals less attentive and more prone to distractions. While previous research suggests that natural settings can help replenish attentional resources depleted by urban life, little is known about whether similar benefits may arise from tranquil artistic settings, like museums and art exhibitions. Here, we drew on the Attention Restoration Theory to test the restorative effects of a museum visit compared to a walk in an urban environment, using a within-subject pre-post design and a combination of self-reported, behavioral, and physiological measures. Participants completed two computer tasks assessing working memory and attentional control and filled out questionnaires assessing perceived restoration, emotions and stress before and after either a museum visit or an urban walk. Physiological activity was monitored by measuring blink rate and pupil size via an eye-tracker. Results showed greater improvement in attentional control abilities following the museum visit. Additionally, self-reported measures indicated that the museum visit was perceived as being more restorative than the urban walk. Similar improvements were observed for working memory, stress and emotions after both a museum visit and an urban walk. These findings suggest that immersion in artistic environments, like museums, can enhance key attention abilities more effectively than an urban walk, enabling individuals to replenish attention resources and become less distractible afterwards. Our results are encouraging in promoting the beneficial effects of museum visits on attention restoration.

I’ve been taking reflexology clients for over a year now and the results are outstanding. It heals the emotional, physical, and mental body. This makes it both energy work and body work.

This makes sense when you realize that the feet have 100,000 nerve endings and are the meeting place for the fascial, circulatory, nervous, lymph, and meridians systems.

In the book Integrative Reflexology by Claire Marie Miller she says, “The neuropeptides are lone point of connection between the brain and the immune system. We now see the lymphatic as another point of connection between. The feet are one point in the body that brings all of these connections together.”

Book an appointment for reflexology or add it on to your next Reiki, therapeutic sound, or Thai Bodywork appointment.

The dulcimer has a wild history. I was drawn to it for its beauty and sound. I hoped it would be an easier instrument for me to learn with just 4 strings 😅 Thankfully I have the best teacher Lojo Russo to help teach me and keep me motivated🤗

Wise words from the book Brightening Our Inner Skies Yin and Yoga by Norman Blair.

“Each skeleton is structured differently. Women’s feet can have a greater range of movement than men’s feet. Some people have thicker spinal discs than others; a person with thicker spinal discs might be able to bend more backwards than someone with thinner discs. Faces are incredibly variable; the face has forty-three distinct muscular movements that in combination make about 3,000 meaningful configurations.”

There was a 1 in 400 trillion chance that you would be born. Take a moment to celebrate that. Holy sh*t!!! 1 in 400 trillion chance!!! You’re real special, lovely, and glorious! Go on and celebrate that! xoxo

Many more ways to celebrate it is to join me in classes with stillness and movement. You can find out more on the Center for Active Seniors Inc. , Figge Art Museum , Cancer Support Community Iowa & NW Illinois at Gilda's Club , and Nahant Marsh Education Center

Go on with your fine self and enjoy your day! Love, Becky

Repost from Cancer Support Community Iowa & NW Illinois at Gilda's Club
Yin Yoga
In Yin Yoga we will remain in the poses longer than in a typical yoga class, but in a less strenuous position. By lingering in relative stillness in the poses:

· You nurture the deep tissues of our bodies including the fascia. By reaching the fascia you will bring oxygen & nutrients to the body, as well as release toxins that have been stored. In turn, this helps to support our immune system
· You will stimulate the flow of energy (chi) through acupressure
· You will actively stress and stimulate your bones, creating stronger bones

RSVP is required. Contact Program with any questions at [email protected] 563-326-7504.
