    Ease Anxiety with these Free Yoga and Meditation Apps

    March 30, 2020 / No Comments

    During these stressful, uncertain times, it’s important to continue practicing self care. Don’t read the news all day. Try to limit it to once in the morning and once at night. Maybe thirty minutes at the most. Stay away from social media or else limit it to 30 minutes a day as well. And most importantly, take the time to be kind to yourself. Maybe that’s going for a walk where you can. If there are no parks or hiking trails open to you, just walk outside your house and around your block. Sitting in sunshine for 30 minutes can do wonders. YOGA If you have a consistent yoga practice,…

    Attract High Energy By Raising Your Vibration

    February 23, 2020 / No Comments

    The universe is filled with energy. We are all made up of energy. Our thoughts are energy. These thoughts create emotions inside of us which affects our energy. Haven’t you noticed that the energy you put out into the universe comes right back to you? If you’re depressed or angry, you’re emitting low vibrations or low energy. It’s difficult to attract higher vibrations when you’re in this state. People don’t want to be around someone who is angry or jealous or depressed. You will attract others who are feeling upset or enraged, thus creating a vicious cycle of low energy. So how do you create high energy? By raising your…

    What Should You Expect During a Reiki Session?

    January 14, 2020 / No Comments

    Have you ever wondered what a Reiki session is like? Perhaps you’re curious if it’s something for you but are unsure how to find out more information. Or perhaps you’re afraid of how your body might respond. Here are a few pointers: Do Your Research Be sure the Reiki practitioner is certified and has experience. Try to find someone with a website and testimonials. Get referrals from your local yoga teacher or acupuncturist. Donation Clinics These are a great way to test out Reiki without spending a lot of money. Most Reiki sessions can cost anywhere from $50 – $90 / hour. Donation clinics only ask that you donate what…

    I know it seems like a gimmick and when I first read about it, I was skeptical. But this acupressure pillow has changed my life. I’ve been able to keep my migraines at bay without any drugs or prescriptions as long as I catch the migraine in time. It’s all by accessing acupressure points in my neck and the base of my head. I first heard about it on Migraine.com. If you have migraines and you don’t check out Migraine.com on a regular basis, you’re missing out. I am not affiliated with them whatsoever. I’ve found their site and community to be immensely helpful. There are stories and chat forums…

    My Yearlong Journey on Aimovig

    December 21, 2019 /

    In October 2018, I signed up for the Bridge to Commercial Coverage program for Aimovig. It offered twelve free doses until my insurance carrier approved. My neurologist started me off with one 70mg dose. The program even offered a nurse to come to my home to help me with the injection. Even though I’m a wimp when it comes to shots, it wasn’t that bad. I also continued with yoga, acupuncture, and meditation, something that had already been reducing my migraines from 15 a month to 6. That first month, I didn’t notice much difference. But by the second dose in November, my migraines reduced from 6 to 2. My last…

    How Reiki Worked for Me But Not as I Expected

    December 5, 2019 /

    My post is up today at P.S. I Love You! My first publication with them and I’m so thrilled! It’s about how my Reiki class brought me closer to my father. I was always a worrywart ever since I can remember. Over time, it brought on debilitating migraines, chronic inflammation, and hives. I needed to relieve my anxiety and stress but I never knew how. So I signed up for a Reiki class. What it did for me was beyond what I could imagine. Not only did I learn how to relax and bring down my anxiety, but it allowed me to be more open and vulnerable. If you want…

About SoCal Sarah

Hi, I’m Sarah and I live in Southern California where I blog, write, and plan my next trip. As a certified Arrivedo travel writer, I’m so grateful to be able to mesh my two passions: travel and writing!
Happy gotcha day, Zoe! 3 years ago today, she hid under my couch, terrified and shaking. An hour later, she let me pet her. Now she's perfected the look of disgust when she doesn't get her snacks 🤣 💜🐶 #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #ilovemydog❤️ Started off the morning with my first goat yoga class! So much fun and it's like a nice little back massage. 🤣 Such a fun event with @jenjchow @ellenbyronmariadirico & @jesseqsutanto at @therippedbodice! What a cool store! In non-Election Day news, happy to have WITNESSES FOR THE DEAD out today from @soho_press. Edited by Gary Phillips and Gar Anthony Haywood with a lineup I'm proud to be a part of. Zoe approves. Finally arrived at my hotel after 4+ hour flight delay. Birthday celebration has officially begun. Opening and closing songs from last night. Such an amazing show. First time seeing them! Teenage me would be dying right now. It's been 3 years since my last Hollywood Bowl show. I've been dying for live music & last night was incredible. I only wish that Big Freedia performed more than one song! Thank you for my awesome shirt @jarrett_lerner! 💜
