Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher renowned for his work on the molecular structure of water, has profoundly influenced our understanding of the impact words and thoughts can have on the natural world.

Emoto’s experiments, conducted in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, suggested that the energy of words could actually alter the structure of water, providing a compelling narrative on how our verbal expressions may shape our environment.

The summer solstice is on June 20th at 4:51 PM. EDT in the northern hemisphere. It has the longest amount of daylight and marks the beginning of the summer season. In the spring time we planted the seeds for what we want to manifest in this journey and new beginnings.

We lay down the groundwork and get everything ready to start or in some cases to continue on our journey. However, the summer time is when we must nurture what we have planted and w**d out what doesn’t add value in our life anymore.

Neurodiversity: From Awareness to Acceptance

Neurodivergent folks have a lot on their plates in this world that was built for the neuro-majority. Chances are, either you or someone you know is neurodivergent, a group that likely comprises 15-20% of the world’s population. Labels such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and others are part of the umbrella of neurodivergence.

Neurodivergent people have brains that think differently than neurotypical people (the majority). They have many different strengths and challenges that are different than for those with more typical brains.

Transformation Station: Increasing Happiness and Self-Connectivity

Making a personal connection with yourself is about more than knowing who you are and what you want. It is about being able to recognize signs from your body that help you to live a healthier life.

Connecting with yourself allows you to find interest in being with you to do things that are of interest to you. It means that you are never alone because you enjoy your own company. Can you imagine only being with you, not to do work or catch-up on anything; just being with you.

𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝘾𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 — Sagewood Center has been a place for healing and community for over 9 years. Angela started Sagewood to support Reiki students and practitioners in the community to grow this wonderful healing modality and provide space for practice, learning and sharing. It evolved into a space for Archangelic Light classes and shares, Massage, Hypnotherapy and QHHT, Intuitive and Life Coaching, Yoga, Counseling, Shamanic practices, Ayurveda, Akashic Records, Sound Therapy and Crystal Healing and Pop-up Stores. It has been a sacred and peaceful place where learning and healing happens.

As of September 30th, the center itself is closed, but the mission to bring holistic wellness to the community will continue. Though a difficult decision, the space was sold, and another wellness company has taken it over: Anne Till Nutrition Group provides support to patients through nutrition and lifestyle therapies. This group has been practicing in Cary for many years and more recently in Raleigh, and they are excited now to expand their Raleigh practice to larger premises this fall.

The Sagewood Practitioners will be practicing from new spaces, but we will remain a community and will continue to keep you informed of classes, workshops, and events. We will continue our newsletter to share our calendar, offer Words of Wisdom and Support, and highlight our practitioners and their services to help you find the therapies that you need.
