Christin Whittington/Energy Dancing in Balance Reflexology & Reiki

Energy Dancing in Balance was founded in 2009. It is dedicated to using energy healing to help your body de-stress, relax and relieve pain. Reflexology, Reiki, and other modalities are each just a vehicle because, in fact, the body heals itself.

Reflexology is like a foot massage — but better! Pressing on reflex areas in the feet stimulates the corresponding organs, glands and tissues located throughout the body. This promotes blood flow, moves lymph (the body’s natural cleaning mechanism), and creates deep relaxation. (There are also reflex points on the hands and ears.)

Reiki (“Divine Energy”) is a Japanese technique of “laying on hands” to reduce stress, enable relaxation and promote healing. Reiki affects energy fields that surround and penetrate the human body, and helps restore the body’s natural, balanced energy flow. (“Ki” is the Japanese form of “Chi” — the Chinese word for “energy.”)

Both these healing modalities can help lower your stress level and your blood pressure, reduce pain, and relieve anxiety.

Today’s Senior Salute goes to Helen Whittington for her independence and dedication to Aging in Place.

Bryan Batson/Atlanta Gas Light

Atlanta Gas Light provides American, abundant and affordable natural gas efficiently to 1.5 million Georgians. They’ve been a trustworthy source of safe, clean energy — and a constant partner to almost 200 counties they serve throughout Georgia — since they installed the City of Atlanta’s first natural gas streetlights more than 150 years ago.

Today, AGL is the eighth largest natural gas distribution utility in the United States and the largest in the Southeast. In Georgia’s deregulated natural gas market, AGL does not sell natural gas to customers. Instead, AGL operates and maintains the infrastructure that delivers reliable natural gas to customers of certified natural gas marketers.

R.E.C.E.S.S. Programs is the only branded programs that offers health clubs of all sizes the ability to serve multiple generations simultaneously. They do this by seamlessly integrating youth and older adult programming into the fabric of the facility, without compromising the integrity of the club… but instead enhancing it.
