At the beginning of a year, the body arrives before the mind. The mind looks forward. The body listens inward. Before intentions take shape and before direction becomes language, the body checks for safety, rhythm, and space. A new year begins with arrival. The body carries the memory of the year that has passed as sensation. It remembers what felt steady. It remembers what supported ease. It holds moments of expansion and moments that shaped growth, even as the mind moves ahead. This is how the body leads. When the body feels settled, movement flows naturally. When the body feels supported, intention feels light. The body understands timing through awareness. It responds to truth with clarity. At the beginning of a new season, the body welcomes presence. Breath deepens. Muscles soften. Attention gathers inward. From this place, clarity forms with ease. Touch, rest, and awareness reconnect the body with its own rhythm. As that rhythm returns, the mind follows in harmony. The year begins quietly in the body. With ease. With openness. Simply with arrival. Nancy V.

The Holiday Reset — Because Your Body Remembers Everything December 10,2025

There is a place in the body that speaks long before the mind ever does — the abdomen. Most people think massage is only about muscles, but the stomach area holds something deeper. It’s where we carry the things we don’t say out loud: stress, emotion, instinct, intuition, and the quiet tension of everyday life. Why the Stomach Holds So Much The abdomen responds to everything we experience — fear, pressure, overthinking, emotional weight, even unprocessed feelings. When this area softens, the body often reveals what it’s been holding. Not through stories. Not through memories. But through sensation, breath, and release. What Abdominal Work Really Does It isn’t medical. It isn’t diagnostic. It’s a moment of connection. When the stomach area relaxes, it: • calms the nervous system • supports digestion • eases emotional tension • restores circulation • helps the body breathe more fully Most importantly, it creates space — the kind that lets the body communicate its needs more clearly. A Reminder for Anyone on a Healing Journey Don’t wait until tension becomes discomfort. Don’t wait until your body forces you to pay attention. Listening early is a form of self-care. Listening consistently is a form of self-respect. My Practice In every session, my intention is to tune into what your body asks for — not through words, but through rhythm, presence, and alignment. That is where the real restoration begins. — Nancy Vargas Certified Massage Practitioner
