Our Friend TeriLeigh sees Chakras and is coming to Gloucester in March

I’m as skeptical as any one, and this woman is legit.

I met TeriLeigh within a few months of meeting Elizabeth in 2010 and like I said I don’t go for hocus-pocus, but this is different. She legit sees peoples’ chakras – the same way Elizabeth expertly sees peoples’ posture. It’s some type of magic, and I wholeheartedly encourage you come and see what she has to say for yourself. You may not be pleased with what you have to hear, but you’ll but be happy to have heard it. The class will be our classic vigorous power yoga, but the workshops will not be hot. Come and check it out.

What Settings Do You Prefer for Relaxation and Learning?

 

Home much does the environment affect your ability to relax and learn? 
I have offered sessions and trainings in many settings, from hospitals to horse farms. No matter where I am, I feel the work is the same. I wonder though, how much does the space make a difference to the enjoyment and learning experience of students and clients.
What is your favorite setting in which to ‘Relax and Learn?’ This poll only takes a few moments. Your feedback is much appreciated and will determine the location of future classes and sessions.

The Reiki (Kyogi) Principles –

Today Only …

Let Go of Anger,

Let go of Worry,

With Thankfulness,

Work Diligently (on one’s self)

Be Kind to (Self and) Others.

—From Founder of Usui Reiki Ryohō, USUI Mikao Sensei 

(B. August 15, 1865 – D. March 9, 1926; as written on his memorial stone.)

Photos here are of places where sessions, classes and retreats have been/will be offered. The first photo was taken at the North Shore Medical Center, in the hospital. No matter where I have offered reiki sessions people report “feeling relaxed.” So I wonder, how much do the aesthetics of the setting matter? What are your thoughts?

Food Combining

Food Combining

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC knows the effects poor food combining can have on the digestive system. It can produce indigestion, fermentation and gas formation and if prolonged, can lead to toxemia and disease.

A few examples:
Eating raw and cooked foods together
Bananas and Milk
Berries and Dairy

Spices and herbs are often added in Ayurvedic cooking to help make foods more compatible or to ease undesirable effects.

One example: adding cooling cilantro to hot spicy food can help it to be digested.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23 – Winter Nourishment: A Balancing Flow and Restore Workshop The stillness of winter serves as an invitation to slow down, reflect, and turn energy inward. We are given the opportunity to rest from the usual extroverted energy of the warmer months. Yet, balance is key, as this slow paced energy can also leave us feeling weighed down. By cultivating an inspiring shift within our yoga practice, we can ignite a sense of warmth, lightness, and opening. Join Amy Varney and Kayla Lemieux for Winter Nourishment: A Balancing Flow and Restore workshop. We will work to clear the body and the mind of dull, stagnant energy as we awaken and energize all of the senses during this ‘seasonal-reset’.

In order to balance Vata and Kapha, the dominant doshas of winter, there will be an emphasis on using pranayama (breathwork) to ignite internal warmth and lightness of the mind.Utilizing this heat as a catalyst for transformation, you will be guided into a series of enlivening poses, aimed to boost energy and metabolic function.

To balance out Vata following this flow portion of class, you will be led into a series of restorative poses to leave you feeling steady, grounded while remaining light, bright and open. With the assistance of bolsters and blankets, we will work to open the heart and chest, to counter the seasonal tendency toward melancholy and fatigue. The restorative practice is a relaxing and refreshing way to release holding patterns within the body and the mind, making space for you to flourish this season.

As you relax into a state of calm, experience the benefits of warm and invigorating essential oils, gentle assists and Thai Bodywork to help balance the energetic pathways within the body and increase circulation. As you melt into a final state of bliss, savasana will be complete with lavender eye pillows and warm oil foot massage.
