Store | Native American Style Flute

Your Native Flute is made by Dave Lusk, a lifelong musician. His mastery of hand-making 14k gold and sterling silver concert flutes and restoring flutes, piccolos, and other woodwinds are applied to designing, carving, and tuning your flute to perfection.  

                    

These handmade Native American style flutes have a full, warm sound. They easily play softly or with gusto. They are expertly crafted from western red cedar because of its beauty and coupled with its amazing sound. It’s lightweight which adds to its playability.

  • Accurately tuned to 440.
  • Flutes are shaped and tuned by hand with specialized tools.  Each flute is beautifully embellished with unique designs handcrafted with a wood-burner.
  • An innovative thumb rest is added to secure and balance the flute while playing.  It positions your lower hand correctly. Place the thumb of the lower hand against the bottom of the thumb rest. The index finger covers the hole right above.  This makes playing flute an absolute joy.
  • Flutes are protected by non-toxic waterproofing, inside and out.
  • A handmade cleaning rod is provided to easily swab moisture out of the flute after playing. This takes care of wetting out.
  • Tips on playing your Native American style flute, flute care, and trouble-shooting are found here.

Desktop Yoga Workshop

Chair Yoga for the Workplace keeps employees alert and productive during the business day. 

Contact Julie Lusk by email for details and scheduling to book her for your Employee Training, Conference, Workshop, and Lunch and Learn sessions. 

Simple chair exercises can help prevent chronic problems such as lower back and neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other repetitive stress injuries.

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that yoga-based chair exercise and stretches are more effective in reducing carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms than using wrist splints or no treatment (Nov. 11, 1998).   Desktop Yoga ™ can also improve morale, productivity, attitudes and attendance.

As the creator and author of Desktop Yoga ™ (Penguin Group, 1998), Julie Lusk has designed ‘do it now ‘ exercises that can be done right at the workstation that are effective, portable and easy.

During a typical session, participants will:

  1. Learn to do self-care chair yoga stretches that can be done at their own desk.  Specific stretches are done for the neck, shoulders, wrists, face, back and legs.  Sequences are also available to increase energy, improve creativity or to reduce frustration.
  2. Take a “2- hour nap in 2-minutes”.
  3. Receive a brief review on the importance of proper ergonomics.

The Business Courier featured the value of Desktop Yoga in the article “Training the Body to Coast can help with Relaxation.” (pdf)

One of the most effective ways of letting go of work stress before you get home is by taking care of it as it arises, said Julie Lusk, author of “Desktop Yoga ®.” Lusk, president of Wholesome Resources, a stress-management company in Milford, teaches people how to do stretches, breathing and relaxation techniques right at their desks to relieve tension and get on with the day.  See this article.

Don Kemper
President, Healthwise, Inc

“Julie Lusk has a unique style of presentation that seems to peer inside each member of her audience.  Her wellness workshops in yoga, relaxation, and stress management include an extra dimension that leaves an imprint of peace and mindfulness on each participant.

Shocking News about Sitting Quietly

July 14, 2014 by Julie Lusk

Does it sound appealing to you to have a little time all to yourself?  Is some peace and quiet something you yearn for?

What if you were asked to sit still in a room by yourself for 6 to 15 minutes?  Could you make it without your smartphone, tablet, a book, something to doodle on or listen to?  As it turns out, this is really hard for most people.

In a study published in Science on hundreds of participants in a series of 11 experiments, over half the volunteers reported it as not enjoyable on a 9-point scale.  It was hard to concentrate and their minds wandered.  It was not fun at all.  In fact, one experiment showed that 67% of men and 25% of women chose to give themselves a mild electrical shock instead of being quiet doing nothing.  This was even after testing out the shock beforehand with most saying they would pay $5 instead of feeling the shock again.  Click on the image for more info.

Really?  A lot of folks would rather be shocked than have quiet time?  No wonder it’s so hard for people when waiting in line, stuck in traffic, or lying awake at night.  Is that why so many people avoid meditation even when knowing how beneficial it is?  Does it mean that people don’t value ‘think time’ or daydreaming?  Perhaps, so many people don’t like time for aimless thinking because they don’t know how to tame their mind or have forgotten how to be quiet or don’t value it.  What are your thoughts on this?

Unstructured ‘think time’ happens throughout the day, doesn’t it.  Is that why so many people grab their smartphone as soon as a free minute appears?  This even happens while driving.  Have you had the urge to check your texts, email or the weather at a stop light rather than look out the window or even listen to the music playing?  You’re not ‘alone.’  According to this study, half of us don’t like having quiet “thinking time.”

So now what?  I think it’s a good idea to learn how to get used to having free time again by learning some healthy mental habits.  This would take the stinging frustration out of waiting, for example.  It will even build up your brain power.

Share your thoughts with us in the comment section.  I’m curious about what you have to say.

Here are some great ideas for when free time comes about accidentally or on purpose.
