As a Matter of Thought

What Is Reiki?

You don't have to understand Reiki to experience it.

Reiki is a gentle energy practice intended to support relaxation, balance, and well-being. During a Reiki session, there's nothing you have to accomplish, figure out, or even believe.

You simply receive.

People experience Reiki differently. Some notice warmth, tingling or other sensations. Others simply experience a deep sense of relaxation and calm.

Our Lunchtime Reiki Share gives you an opportunity to both experience Reiki and learn more about it in a relaxed, supportive environment.

No Reiki training or previous experience is required.

Sometimes one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves is stop doing for a little while and allow ourselves to receive. 💛

Full Moon Sister Circle this Saturday...Join us as we gather beneath the dreamy, intuitive waters of the Pisces Full Moon. ♓️🌊

Pisces invites us to trust our intuition, honor our sensitivity, and believe in our dreams, but it can also reveal where we escape, procrastinate, or unconsciously self-sabotage what our soul truly desires.

Together, we will enter a sacred Full Moon releasing ceremony to let go of the behaviors, fears, and repeating patterns standing between us and our hopes, dreams, and wishes.

Come ready to soften, release, dream and make space for what is waiting to flow into your life. 💜⭕️✨

What if your mind plays a greater role in your well-being than you realize?

Join us this Thursday, August 27, from 12–2pm for Transformation Lab as we watch and discuss Episode 7 of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Rewired: “Healing Power of Alignment.”

We’ll explore the fascinating science of the placebo effect and how belief, expectation, meaning, and emotion may influence the body—and what it means to align our thoughts and feelings with the future we want to create.

We're meeting at Souly Holistic. You're welcome to bring and eat your lunch.

What is the Power of Eight?

The Power of Eight is based on the discovery that when a small group of people comes together and focuses on a shared intention for one person, remarkable things can happen. Research and experience have shown that focused group intention can support healing, reduce stress, bring greater clarity, and create positive changes—not only for the person receiving the intention, but for those holding the intention as well.

In our Power of Eight Intention Group, we learn a simple intention process inspired by Lynne McTaggart's work, and hold intentions for one another. No experience is needed.

Join us this Thursday from 12:00–1:30 pm at Souly Holistic . Come experience the power of group intentions. ✨

Who are you becoming? What would it feel like to live more fully now as this future you?

This Sunday's Sister Circle is an invitation to explore these questions and more. Together we'll reflect, share, create, and celebrate one another, and leave with a tangible reminder of the woman each of us is choosing to become.

If you've been longing for meaningful conversation, genuine connection, and a community of women who inspire one another to grow, we'd love to welcome you.

Our monthly Grateful Gathering is tomorrow, Thursday, August 13 from 12:00–2:00 PM at Souly Holistic (5540 McNeely Drive, Suite 101 in Raleigh).

Our culture spends billions of dollars telling us to fight aging. What if there was another way?

Research continues to show that people who regularly practice gratitude experience lower stress, better sleep, healthier relationships, greater resilience, and improved emotional well-being—all of which contribute to healthier aging.

Gratitude doesn't stop the clock, but it can profoundly change how we experience the journey.

This month's Grateful Gathering theme is "Age Gratefully." Together we'll explore a refreshing perspective on growing older—not as a process of losing ourselves, but as an opportunity to deepen our wisdom, expand our hearts, and discover gifts that simply aren't available at any other stage of life.

We'll reflect on questions like:
✨ What is the unique gift of the age I am right now?
✨ What qualities have I gained that only time could have given me?
✨ How can living gratefully help me age with greater joy, purpose, and contentment?

Whether you're 25, 55, or 85, every year offers new opportunities to become more fully yourself.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon of conversation, reflection, connection, and practices that celebrate the extraordinary gift of being alive—right here, right now.

What if aging isn't something to fight...but something to embrace?

From the time we're young, we're surrounded by messages that tell us to stay younger, look younger, and somehow avoid growing older.

But what if every year of life isn't something we lose...What if it's something we gain?

Every birthday adds another chapter to our story. Another layer of wisdom. Another opportunity to love more deeply, see more clearly, and appreciate life more fully.

Living gratefully doesn't ask us to ignore the challenges that come with aging. Instead, it invites us to ask a different question:

What is possible at this stage of my life that wasn't possible before?

And then...

What would my 90-year-old self want me to appreciate about the age I am today?

Join us this Thursday as we explore "Age Gratefully"—a conversation about choosing presence over perfection, curiosity over fear, and gratitude over regret.

Thursday, August 13
12:00–2:00 PM
at Souly Holistic
5540 McNeely Drive, Suite 101 in Raleigh

No matter your age, you'll leave with a renewed appreciation for the extraordinary gift of simply being alive.
