| New Perspectives, New Offerings ... Growth for the New
Year. | |
|
|
As we approach the year-end holidays, I wanted to
share some new opportunities I have planned for
January 2008. But first let me start with my
latest personal insight ... I had been struggling
with the concept of 'being present', an idea that my
mind comprehended, but rarely showed up in my
behavior. My skeptical side held me
back with the thought, "If I am not looking ahead, won't
I simply stagnate?" A wise teacher
recently resolved this dilemma for me as
follows: find that place of
intentional effort, where intensity is put forth, but
you are not struggling or straining; and then,
consciously relax and notice what happens. This
instruction from a 10-day Yoga Therapy training has
found its way into other areas of my life, particularly
as stress levels rise, with wonderful results. Try
it on for size and see how it fits you.
So many new offerings to share with
you! Scroll down to the various
sections to get details. Pay special
attention to the coupon for a unique opportunity for a
private Thai Yoga Therapy session, which is a
modality in which I have recently received
training.
I hope this newsletter finds you happy, healthy
and taking a quiet moment to appreciate your
blessings. Please know that I
consider you to be my blessing and I am immensely
grateful to have you as part of my
community. Happy holidays and I hope
our paths cross in the New Year.
Sincerely,
Meenal

Let
go of the old ... create space for
new.
The
Dalai Lama teaches that calm, patience and forgiveness
are qualities that can be practiced and thereby,
cultivated. A Guided Forgiveness Meditation is a way to
practice forgiveness. Since this is guided, it is
suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike,
since all you have to do is relax, breathe and listen to
the instructions.
I truly believe that peace on
our planet starts with each individual - that as I
strive to find ways to be more accepting, more patient,
more open ... that it does affect those around me.
Leading and practicing this meditation allows me to "be
the change I wish to see in the world." Please
share this with your friends as this promises to be a
unique event.
Price:
Free Click here, scroll
down to the date, and then click on "Register Now" to

for the room.

Relax your way to a quiet mind
...
Both beginning and experienced meditators rave
about this class - 'I didn't know there were so many
ways to meditate'; 'I use it when I am anxious or when I
need to fall asleep'; and 'I didn't know I could make
routine activities into meditations'. Join me to
experience for yourself what they are talking
about!
Please bring a yoga mat or something
comfortable to lie upon. Basic concepts taught
in the first two meetings will be used throughout the
series, so drop-ins are discouraged.
NEW! Please note the
earlier start time (5:30PM) for this course!
Price: $72 for course ($60 if you pre-register 1 week
before course starts). Course repeats every 6
weeks.

Bringing
meditation to you ... at your place ... at your
convenience.
Meditation At Your Place takes my courses and
workshops and brings them to you, whether it is at home
for a group of friends, or on-site for employees and
staff at local organizations and businesses. For
individuals, this is way to deepen connections with
existing friends, by learning, practicing and supporting
each other on life-changing techniques. For employers,
this is an innovative way to build community and
well-being, while reducing stress, amongst your staff by
hosting the programs at a time most convenient for those
interested in taking it.
You have two options: hosting the event at your place
and having those interested pay me directly; or hiring
me and inviting as many people as you choose. I simply
require a minimum of 6 participants, and can accommodate
a maximum of 16. Contact me if you would like to make
arrangements to offer my programs At Your Place.
Participants are restricted to those invited by
the host. While these events are included on my calendar
for scheduling and payment purposes, they are not open
to the
public. | |

For
all ages, all backgrounds ... 6th grade and
up.
A reviewer on Amazon.com describes reading the
book, This I Believe, as "one of those fortuitous
moments causing a small but perceptible expansion of
one's world." I couldn't agree more! The book is a
compilation of essays from people of all walks of life.
The original series was hosted in the early 1950s by
Edward R. Murrow and was revived on NPR in 2003.
According to the associated website, "This I Believe is
an international project engaging people in writing,
sharing, and discussing the core values that guide their
daily lives". Welcome to four
evenings that will challenge you and inspire you!
Diversity is valued - this group is
open to men and women; young and mature; church and
local community. There are a few noteworthy
differences from previous discussion groups. Purchasing
the book is optional - you can access both written and
audio versions of the essays through the on-line archive.
Each meeting will utilize a different approach to
explore the theme "This I Believe". Most noticeably, the
meetings will be jointly hosted by myself and Dr. Jim
Decker-Mahin.
Price: Free.
Click here, scroll
down to the date, and then click on "Register Now" to
RSVP. It will help me determine a rough
headcount for the room.
For my impression of
the essays ...

description.
