Three years ago, El Paso and the rest of the nation witnessed a dark day in Texas history. Our border community endured a tragic event at a local shopping store. Our hearts still ache in sadness, but the community started pouring out its love and support. State and local leaders responded, reflected, and kept the memories alive of the 23 El Pasoans who we lost, and continue to stand united demonstrating our community’s resiliency. This episode of the United and Resilient podcast takes a holistic approach to health. We discover the benefits of Reiki and Yoga. These are methods of supporting the body and mind systems to their own natural healing processes. Reiki treats the whole person including emotions and mind to create beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace. Yoga improves general wellness by relieving stress, improving mental/emotional health, sleep, and balance. On the first half of the episode we connect with Reiki Master Teacher and Owner of Intuitive Wellness with Michelle, Michelle Moskauski. On the second half, we converse with Michael Novotny. He is a Life Skill Coordinator for The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Endeavors and a Certified Yoga Instructor. Both practitioners provide support to the whole person, considering the physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.  Our intermission segment “Where Were You on August 3rd?” features Clinic Director Elizabeth Duran from The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Endeavors. She leads a multidisciplinary team providing services to post-9/11 Veterans, active duty members and their families, and shares her personal story on the day of the August 3rd 2019 tragedy.
