Being able to unwind from the tangle of stress and enter a state of deep relaxation is one of the most important skills you can learn. It is a skill that will benefit both your physical and mental health as well as making you happier and giving you a sense of having more control.Not only is it possible for everyone to relax, it is necessary.-Dr. Roderick Borrie

This week we celebrate Detox and Health Week on Red Clover Farms as we welcome two new CSA business members /CSA drop locations into our network. Meet ifloat of Main Street Westport and The Liphe Balance Center of Weston.

I will be including a Dead Sea Bath Salt in all of our CSA members box this week - and I will personally scent it at the market with an essential oil of your choice!

I will be delivering fresh produce to these CSA pickup locations Thursdays after 1pm - so tell your friends and family in that area, and get them connected!

Have you ever wanted to float on the Dead Sea to experience the rebalancing effects? Well now you can right around the corner at ifloat. I personally have been floating for awhile - first was introduced to floating on a solo holistic retreat I took to Sedona Arizonia many years ago, and then again in Boston. I was one of the first people to join ifloat in the area, and I visited then last week to begin my healing process.

There are seven theories of how floating is beneficial - I went for #3 - The Left-Brain Right-Brain Explanation Research indicates that floating increases right-brain (or minor hemisphere) function. Floating turns off the external stimuli, plunges us into literal and figurative darkness - then suddenly the entire universe of stars and galaxies is spread out before our eyes. Or as brain researcher Dr. Thomas Budzynski of the University of Colorado put it, "In a floatation environment, the right hemisphere comes out and says, "Whoopee".
