June at Elan!

What a fun month! Here's a few of the highlights! 



Yum! Have you ever heard of FIKA? We thought it was something we should implement on a Saturday morning. FIKA is fancy for coffee and sweets. Conveniently, we have Sweet Home Bakery just around the corner from us. We had P.I.E. and FIKA-that means Pain Integration Experience followed by coffee and sweets. 


We had a ball for Father's Day! 


Elan was set up at Run Bowness. Here's Scott with MLA Deborah Drever, and a photo of our team of Margaret, McKenzie and Scott. Scott was doing on-site massage to help the runner's injuries, and Margaret was there offering advice on how Acupuncture can help those concerns. 


It was a busy month! Last up in June was Patient Appreciation Day.

What is Mindfulness?

Thank you to Margaret Kennedy, Acupuncturist with Elan Family Wellness Centre, for these words on Mindfulness for our May newsletter.  The whole world, as we have known it, our individual world has been rushing around for ages with little or NO MINDFULNESS. We have been so busy rushing around, cut off from ourselves. one another, our environment  and NATURE,  that it has affected our whole lives, our world  - negatively.    Now, a virus, something we cannot even see, has forced us  to slow down,  to isolate from “our NORM”. All our negativeness arise now, we become stressed, angry, anxious, worried,  agitated, depressed, fearful  - How to change this?    This is our time to BE MINDFUL of ourselves, our lives and our world. To CHANGE ourselves, our world. Mindfulness is being aware moment by moment of our thoughts,  emotions, where we hold our feelings in our bodies and our environment – locally and in the world. To...
