How to Change your Mind for Good:
      The Enlightened Use of Affirmation

Thursday, February 23, 2012, 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Cost: $35, when paid by February 19, $45 after.

Affirmations can be read, spoken, or listened to–all for useful effect. This workshop will teach Affirmation Meditation, a 15-minute written practice that’s probably the most holistic way to use affirmation. The reason for this is simple: its three-step approach to each repetition includes the release of a negative thought that prevents the affirmation from manifesting. It also provides a new affirmation to transform that limited thought and shed light on the darkened part of the mind that could have held such a small belief in the first place.

The workshop will teach students how to master each of the practice’s vital three steps. Participants will also learn valuable affirmations for five areas of their lives: money, career, relationships, communication, and their inner spiritual journey.

Taught by CARY BAYER, Life Coach & Author, The Prosperity Aerobics, and Spirit & Money. Cary’s unique private work, called Breakthrough Coaching creates dramatic breakthroughs in your career, finances, relationships and spiritual lives.



The Bhagavad Gita and
       the Secret to the Meaning of Life

Friday, February 24, 2012, 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Cost: $35, when paid by February 21, $45 after.

The first–and greatest–yoga class ever is recorded in the sacred Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit poem. It tells of an honorable leader who must choose between saving his family or his country. Involving far more than the postures and breathing exercises of a usual yoga class, the story shows the Way to a direct experience of Reality. At the same time, it reveals the elusive secrets of karma, dharma, meditation, and service.

With compassion, humor, anecdote and interactive processes, Cary Bayer, a meditation teacher since the ’70s and author of Transcendental Meditations and Meditations for Enlightenment, connects some of these sacred insights from the Gita to the contemporary challenges of finding your career path; performing successful action supported by the Universe; and finding your higher Self.

Children’s Story Time & Mediation

Date: Every 2nd & 4th Friday

Time: 5:30pm-6:30pm

Come expose your children to books not read in schools and possibly at home; books that open their hearts and mind to better self-esteem and positive life choices.  And what better way to end a story time then to meditate? Just like adults our children get stressed and they, like us, don’t take time to just be. Meditation can help our children de-stress, improve memory, improve focus, and improve relationships with family and friends.  And the great thing about meditation is that it can be done anywhere and anytime. Have your child bring a yoga matt and let’s learn to just be!

What is a Sound Massage Treatment with the Crystal Singing Bowls? You receive a sound massage as crystal bowls are placed on your body and played. The deep resonance of the bowl sound relaxes tense muscles and has a calming effect on the mind. Bowls can be placed and played on seven different areas of the body to bring energy and vibration to where it is needed.

Oneness Blessing Circle

1st & 3rd Wednesdays - 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
2nd Wednesday - 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Cost: $20

The Oneness Blessing is a transfer of Divine intelligent energy. The Oneness Blessing process works by creating a neurobiological shift in the brain and awakening the energy centers (Chakras) in the body. This shift in consciousness frees us from the suffering created by the mind, balances the body’s natural, healthy and healing energies and attunes the brain with the fields of unity, bringing an end to the illusion of apparent separation. Once initiated, it is a gradual Awakening process that leads naturally to a lasting state of Oneness, Inner peace, Causeless Joy and Well-being.

As we sit in a circle, Brenda will pass three specific blessings to each individual person in the group.

Blessings,
Brenda Teagarden, Oneness Blessing Facilitator
Initiated at Oneness University, India in March 2006

Faery Light Healing

Have you experienced a lot of resistance in your life lately?  Perhaps things have felt a little unstable or tumultuous?  Or perhaps you just don't have the energy you used to have?  There are many contributing factors to what you are feeling, but a lot of it may have to do with being out of harmony with nature and life on planet Earth.

The purpose of the faery light healing is to naturalize our energy frequency to that of the Earth, so that we may live a more harmonious, balanced life.  The Earth is going through a lot of changes, some of which we are aware of and others are more subtle.  Nevertheless, all the changes do affect us on all levels including the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.  The faery light healing is a very gentle process by which faery light is channeled and then guided by the devas and nature spirits of healing to move through your body to release blocks and shift your energy vibration to a higher, more harmonious frequency.  Crystals are also intuitively used in the process to direct the energy flow.

By appointment with Diomira D’Agostino.
