&  WELLNESS Dimensions of Empathy If you feel like you constantly take on the energy and emotions of the people around you, you are probably an Empath. As the year progresses, we have been noticing that more and more people are struggling with their own emotions without recognizing that they are actually absorbing and storing the energy of OTHER people and places around them. Although they might not consider themselves “psychic,” this sensitivity to and absorption of people’s energy is known as Empathy. On May 5-6 at the 10th annual One Spirit Festival in Clinton, NJ, we presented several workshops on mental shifts and techniques to help remove this excess energy, and we provided Reiki sessions at the Dimensions booth to relieve stress and anxiety associated with this build-up of unwanted emotions and energy. It was our most successful One Spirit Festival to date, and we were proud to be able to help so many people…yet there are many more who still need it. We also continue to host introductory Reiki healing circles twice per month to allow new guests to experience a demonstration of Reiki energy balancing. If you’re feeling like you can’t be in large crowds because of all the energy “rubbing off on you,” or if you spend more and more time alone letting this alien, emotional energy drain away, please contact Dimensions Reiki to set up your own personal consultation and Reiki healing session, or review our website Calendar to find an event that interests you. We are also planning several public events where you can come visit us and get Reiki or a psychic reading of your energy, and we add new events all the time: • July 14: Jeff at the Light of Divine Truth Foundation’s 38th Annual Psychic Fair in Bordentown, NJ • July 28: Dimensions Reiki at the Soulsational Festival at Veterans Park in Bayville, NJ • September 23: TheThomas Baird Homestead 1st Annual Psychic Fundraiser inMillstone Township, NJ Jeff Carpenter is a Reiki Master Teacher, psychic, and spirit medium who founded Dimensions Reiki, 169 Main Street, Suite 105, Matawan, NJ.

Night Time vs. Morning Shower By Lauren Kolacki

People have been having the night time versus morning showers de- bate for years upon years with the base of their argument solely relying on their personal preference. Research has shown that there is science behind whether you should shower at night or in the morning.

For those who shower in the morning, they usually rely on this to wake them up to jump start their day. Studies show that this could boost alert- ness, creativity and is a great start to the day. Humans tend to perspire at night, therefore, a shower in the morning washes off sweat and bacteria. Many dermatologist recommend showering at night to wash the day off your body and face. Especially in the summer and spring months, sweat and allergens like pollen tend to buildup on our skin. Showering at night also is great for a good night sleep. The body naturally cools down as bed time approaches in sync with our circadian rhythm, a shower raises the temperature again and allows for a faster cool down. This is a great way to unwind and release muscle tension. Although not the best solution to this debate, some suggest showering twice a day. In the morning, to wake you up, and in the evening, to wash all the bacteria you picked up throughout the day. It is important that no matter when you shower, the water is never too hot, this takes the oil off your skin and can cause irritation. Make sure you are not washing your hair every time you shower, hair is made of dead skin cells, therefore, it just doesn't need as much washing as the rest of our skin. Washing it too often can dry it out.
