Revelations Center: Who are we?

Who is Revelations Center...?

We are a tribe of fierce, fun-loving, artistic, purposeful and highly intuitive beings, supporting others in expressing their highest potential through an array of integrative services. We acknowledge that living at our most optimal, requires the recognition of, not only, the physical alignment, but the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects, as well. Each of these parts makes up the WHOLE. Our mission is to assist individuals in seeking balance of the mind, body, emotion and soul. True health, happiness, and authenticity express when we establish balance. Wholeness is revealed.

How did we get here...?
Revelations Center is the environment in which we hold space for others to express their authenticity. It is a space of security, love, and safe vulnerability. This space didn’t happen overnight. This has been a mystical evolution of personal experiences with dis-ease and continued healing. This evolution has opened our eyes to the world of healing possibilities, in which we are inspired to share with our community. This space was developed out of necessity, as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual stressors continue to rise. Our ability to cope and adapt to this current reality has become more and more challenging, which is why Revelations Center offers alternative resources.

What do we believe...?
We believe that the power that created the body can heal the body. The body as a whole is intricate, mystical, and deeply beautiful. When we have the appropriate resources and tools available, wholeness can express.
We believe in congruent belief-action. If we do not do it, believe in it, own it... how can we share, educate and inspire others, with integrity, to be open to its potential?
We believe in consistency. When creating a new habit, pattern, and health expression, consistency is key. It takes time and repetition.
Be patient and pursue. Because you’re worth living your best life!

Namaste.

Benefits of Floating during Pregnancy

The benefits of floating are plentiful; however, there’s likely no group of individuals that experience more immediate relief as pregnant women.  

During pregnancy the body is undergoing constant change. The woman's hormones, ligaments, and tissues are all shifting to accommodate her growing uterus. Carrying extra weight from a baby creates many new and diverse aches and pains. Nausea, cravings, swelling, and sleep challenges are among the many experiences of creating a new human.Some of the benefits of you will experience of Float Therapy during pregnancy are:
  • Magnesium Absorption: According to Universal Health Institute, soaking in Epsom Salt baths is the most effective means of replenishing magnesium your body needs for more than 300 biochemical reactions (nerve and muscle function, immune support, bone, heart…).  

  • Decompression: The anti-gravity experience organically and non-invasively lengthens the spine, which can relieve neck and back pain/pressure. The near weightless environment of floating allows the muscles and joints to fully relax, increasing circulation, providing an increased ability to promote muscle repair and fatigue.

  • Swelling Reduction: The reduction of pressure on the body can help reduce edema and prevent swelling.

  • Reduces Stress: Float therapy suppresses the sympathetic nervous which is the system responsible for the fight-or-flight response. When this system is deactivated the parasympathetic nervous system becomes activated, allowing relaxation and healing to occur. This relaxation response provides a decrease in muscle tension, decreased blood pressure, decreased cholesterol, decreased stress hormones, and increased endorphins. 

  • Enhanced Sleep: About 40 minutes into our float experience your brain transitions from its normal Alpha/Beta waves to a Theta brainwave. Theta waves are responsible for natural self-healing processes. [One Hour of Floating is equivalent to 4 HOURS of restorative sleep]

  • Mirror Experience: There is something naturally womb-like in our float pod. The dome-like shape, the effortless float, the comforting temperature…  allows for a very special mirrored connection to your baby in utero.

You can safely float during the first, second or third trimester of pregnancy, though, it is recommended to consult with your physician prior. 
In addition, we highly recommend floating more than once. Floating is a practice, much like meditation and yoga, and is most beneficial when done regularly. Each session builds on the last. 
So, if you’re looking to incorporate a new self-care regimen during your pregnancy Float Therapy is something to strongly consider!

Healing Crisis: It may get worse before it gets better.

Have you ever done a cleanse and felt worse during the initial phase? 

A cleanse is good for you, right? Then, why would you feel crappy and lethargic when you’re providing your body with good nutrition? Why would you feel bad when you are removing foods and drinks that create stress on your body?

This phenomenon is called a healing crisis. As your body is cleansing and purifying, it is also excreting waste and toxins from organs and tissue.

Is this a bad thing…? Absolutely NOT. This is part of expressing optimal health. In my professional experience I would say this occurrence is the biggest hindrance to an individual's healing process. In our culture we have such an aversion to pain and/or sickness like symptoms. However, when you’re coming from the perspective of growth, healing and repair, the scope is significantly different. 

*When we experience discomfort, then we should stop doing the thing that created the discomfort in the first place* 

This psychology makes sense only when it is a known toxin and/or unhealthy action producing the outcome (i.e. drugs, cutting). However, most times we aren’t appropriately evaluating these expressions openly and honestly. Rather, we become reactionary… meaning, we have a response that we don’t like or that doesn’t “feel good” and instead of assessing our actions and choices, we without hesitation, go in the opposite direction.

Take the example of drug recovery, when an individual is cleansing their body of the abused drug they will experience some deeply intense discomfort and symptoms. There’s physical, emotional, and mental withdrawal. Healing is a multilayered experience. Imagine if they turned the opposite direction as soon as the sweats began, or the extreme muscle/joint pain set in.

Imagine if instead of reacting, we asked theses questions of ourselves...
How is this serving me in all facets of my health and well-being?
Is this discomfort temporary?
Is this pain making room for a higher level of health (expression)?


Take a moment to assess the actions and choices and consider the fact that your physical and emotional bodies may be purging to make space for optimal expression. Pain doesn’t always lead to suffering, instead, most times it is intended to be a temporary passage (a bridge) to something different.

There are many additional resources to offer support during a healing crisis. If you aren’t sure if what you’re experiencing is “good” or “bad” I highly recommend you reach out to the professional you’re working with for more information and feedback. It’s not necessary to go at it alone and/or misinformed. Asking for guidance and support is appropriate. As a professional I truly value this part of the work, because assisting individuals in obtaining optimal results is my passion; however, if I don't know what they're experiencing then I can't provide them with recommendations and/or feedback.

*The power that made the body, heals the body*

I encourage all to be kind, consistent, persistent, and indefinitely patient with your body. Then have faith that it will all pay off in the end.

Namaste.

Clean Beauty: Health is our responsibility

I frequently get asked why I selected Beautycounter as my go to company for safe, clean products?
My mission is to support individuals in revealing their highest potential. Meaning... I desire to assist them in expressing optimal health (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually). Awareness is essential in establishing this alignment and expression. The reality is that we are bombarded with toxins. Whether that be in the air we breathe or the soil we walk on, to the foods that we consume and the products that we use... we are surrounded.

How do our beliefs affect our health?

What is potential? We frequently use this word at Revelations Center, yet what does it mean?
It is the inherent ability for coming into being; refers to a currently unrealized ability.

Each of us are born with a unique potential, however often times we lose our connection to these innate gifts due to external beliefs, through the reinforcement of others actions and behaviors, as well as societal expectations and social norms. Reconnecting to what is true for YOU allows you to step into your authenticity through genuine action and communication.

This past weekend our Center attended an event created to support and nurture women's beauty. I had the great honor of presenting on the topic of "How to BE your Beauty." Everyone has their own definition of beauty, however the core essence of beauty if BEING... and being is the expression of our beliefs. How we show up in this world, is an expression of our beliefs; how we speak, move, think, and even breath are all a result of our beliefs. So the question is, are your beliefs true to you?

The Benefits of Massage Therapy in Muscle Recovery

Do you experience persistent fatigue or muscle soreness? Do you have a “minor” injury that does not want to heal? Do you wake with achy joints and/or muscles regularly? Has your performance plateaued? Do you frequently get a “minor” cold or cough that you just can’t kick? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you may be inadequately recovering.
