Help for the Body, Mind, and Spirit

at Great Shapes for Women, Highway 51 South, Carbondale, IL

All workshops meet on Saturday afternoon
from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. Fee:  $15.00 each

28 January.  Introduction to Healing Touch. An introduction to using the Universal Energy field to enhance healing in yourself and others.  Techniques to measure and influence the energy field will be demonstrated and practiced. Healing touch techniques can help with various common health issues (including cancer, high blood pressure, headaches, arthritis, and stress) and in this workshop you will learn a technique that enhances deep relaxation and often stops a headache before it has a chance to hurt.

18 February.  Your Root Chakra—Setting Energetic Boundaries
for Strength and Support in the New Year    Practical, healthy boundaries for how we spend our time, what types of relationships we have, and so on help us to maintain balance. Energy boundaries help us to keep our energy in our own space while keeping others’ energy out. Without clear energy boundaries we may take on others’ judgments, emotions and problems which leave us feeling heavy and confused. We may also spread our energy in too many places, leaving us feeling scattered and depleted. When we are aware of our energy boundaries we feel whole, clear and light.  This workshop will help you find
and set strong boundaries for grounding and balance.

17 March.  Yoga Chanting/Yoga  Nidra Meditation Learn a Sanskrit chant to open sacred space for your home yoga practice or just to sing anytime the mood strikes.  We will sit and chant for 15-20 minutes then lie in savasana for a guided 75 minute Yoga Nidra meditation.  We will close with the same chant to reinforce the practice.

21 April.  A Crystal Meditation.  This workshop will focus on the ways various crystals might affect your Chakras. A full chakra layout surrounding you, you will be guided on a journey deep into the world of crystals. You will discover your most troublesome chakra and take a home a crystal to continue the healing and balancing after the workshop.

19 May.  Healing Touch:  the Full Body Connection.  An introduction to using the Universal Energy field to enhance healing in yourself and others. 
Techniques to measure and influence the energy field will be
demonstrated and practiced. Healing Touch techniques often  help with various common health issues (including cancer, high blood pressure, headaches, arthritis, and stress) and the Full Body Connection (for yourself and others) provides deep relaxation allowing the body to self-heal.

 23 June.  Your Heart Chakra:  Energetic Boundaries for
a Loving Relationship with Yourself and Others.  Practical, healthy
boundaries for how we spend our time, what types of relationships we have, and
so on help us to maintain balance. Energy boundaries help us to keep our energy
in our own space while keeping others’ energy out. Without clear energy
boundaries we may take on others’ judgments, emotions and problems which leave us feeling heavy and confused. We may also spread our energy in too many places, leaving us feeling scattered and depleted. When we are aware of our energy boundaries we feel whole, clear and light.  This workshop will help you set the boundaries you need to enhance your relationship with yourself and with others.

21 July.   Intro to Chakras/Chakra Connection Meditation.  For the first half of this workshop,  participants will learn to feel their chakras and create a sense of deep relaxation and balance in the physical body. Then we will move to the restorative and comfortable posture of your choice for a guided hour long
journey through your chakras, allowing them to re-charge and clear, harmonizing
with their new balance.

.25 August.  Working with Your Energy Body—Seeing, Feeling, Healing.  Your energy body belongs to you!  This workshop will focus on ways to help you create awareness of your own energy field and through various techniques of
Healing Touch and Reiki (no experience required in either), learn to feel snags
and tears in our energy field and then repair them.  We will practice “seeing and “feeling” the aura around ourselves as well as plants and other people and end with various ways to create protection around our energy bodies.

22 September.  Finding and Working with Your Power Animal  through the Shamanic Journey.   Experience the beauty of the lower world as you journey to meet your power animal.  Then you will be guided through an adventure to experience all forms of life.  We will finish with a dance to honor our animals and discuss ways to continue the practice.

27 October.  Space Clearing/Clutter Clearing.  Ceremonially clearing your
space allows you to revitalize the stuck energies that have become imprinted
over time in the walls, furniture, and other objects of the spaces you
occupy.  We will learn various techniques to physically clean and clear stuck spaces.  Space Clearing is the most effective way I know of loosening the stuck energy that accumulates around clutter, so doing it will enable you to re-engage clutter clearing afterwards with renewed enthusiasm and gusto.

17 November.  Introduction to Tai Chi/Tai Chi Meditations.  Spend an active hour in the moving meditation practice of Tai Chi, followed by an hour in deep relaxation in a series of guided meditations designed to relax, renew and heal.

15 December.  Stress Relief.  Give your mind and body a
break from the stress of the season by practicing the not so easy, yet very
simple art of deep relaxation. This class time will give you a break that will
take your mind on a journey up mountains, floating in cool lakes, riding magic
carpets and climbing to the stars while your body learns to deeply relax through
the simple act of breathing. Learn to use your breath to create instant
relaxation and create a quick retreat from stress-inducing situations. Take the
time you need to relax and be present in the season
