Yoga Nidra

Sunday, August 7, 14, 21, & 28 @ 7pm – 8pm with Megan Ellis

Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based meditation known as psychic sleep. Using a series of breath, body, and awareness techniques, YN guides the brainwave states down towards sleep, where thoughts naturally distance themselves.  Here we can easily enter the gap between us and our thoughts and re-establish the knowing that we are more than the mind. In YN, the body sleeps, the thinking mind is at rest, but consciousness is active. This practice profoundly releases excess tension in the body and benefits many symptoms of illness. Yoga Nidra is powerful for relieving feelings of anxiety, chronic pain, depression, traumatic stress, addiction, and insomnia. Cost $15

 

Home Funeral Workshop with Angie Buchanan

Monday, August 8 @ 10am – 5pm

A Home Funeral allows the family to choose how best to honor their beloved dead. Caring for the body of our beloved dead, can be a powerful experience. It is now legal in all but eight states to care for one’s own after death.

In this workshop you will learn: How to create sacred space for ceremony. How to move the body. How to bathe, dress and prepare for visitation. Last Rites. How to make bathing and anointing an intimate family ritual. Body Blessings. How to shroud. How to preserve a body for a home funeral. How to create ambiance in the room. How to include children and other family members in the process. How to fill out and file paperwork.      ‣ Learn about eco-friendly options for body disposition. ‣ Learn about legal paperwork required – how to research state laws and build bridges with others presently working in the funeral industry ‣ Learn about the complexities of grief

Talking Circle

Monday, August 8 @ 6:30pm – 8pm with Jerry Mitchell

Ways To Wellness is excited to be hosting a traditional Talking Circle.

Talking Circles are mostly used in the Native Cultures and ours will be modeled after that. The Circle will be facilitated, and we will use the talking stick technique. The most common type of circle is a simple sharing circle where people share whatever they have to say. There is no particular purpose or theme, and many fascinating side-trips often happen. The sharing circle is also an excellent introduction to ceremonies and other tools. Another common circle is the healing circle. By healing it is meant that healing occurs through talking–this is generally guided by the conductor and will be convened to deal with issues that are bothering people. These issues July be specific, or the circle July be called to simply allow everyone to get any problems “off their chests”. Our circle will be both a sharing circle and a healing circle.  We hope you join us for this informal way of helping to make sense of the everyday items that we all face, allowing us to move forward independently and collectively more easily on our paths.  Not familiar with the Talking Circle process? No worries, we will explain the process, ground rules and more so that you feel comfortable and safe.  Free Event

 

Theta Healing Sessions

Thursday, August 11 & 25 @ 12nn – 4pm with Gina Anayana

The Theta Healing technique is a meditation technique and spiritual philosophy – not specific to one religion but accepting them all – with the purpose of getting closer to the Creator. It is a training method for your mind, body and spirit that allows you to clear limiting beliefs and live life with positive thoughts, developing virtues in all that we do. Through meditation and prayer, the Theta Healing Technique creates a positive lifestyle.

Each Theta Healing® session with Gina is a unique experience as it is Divinely Guided.

They include the sharing of Unconditional Love and Healing, in addition to identifying and removing the negative belief systems that Gina is guided to address in that session with the client.

Using Kinesiology, the client will be tested for the existence of negative beliefs and programs so that they can be accessed from the subconscious mind. The key core beliefs are then transmuted by the Higher Consciousness into belief patterns that will serve the Highest Good. Shifting these negative belief patterns releases blockages that could otherwise lead to physical and/or emotional dis-ease.

Theta Healing® sessions are gentle and relaxing. Clients remain fully clothed sitting across from the practitioner. Sessions last about one hour, after which you July feel a lightness and energy shift. The practitioner acts only as a catalyst and witness to facilitate your personal transformation and inner healing; God is the healer. Cost: Individual 1 hour – $144, Couple 90 min – $188, Family (2 People) 90 min – $188

 

Inner Sensory Shamangelic Breathwork

Thursday, August 11 & 25 @ 4:30 – 6:30 pm with Gina Anayana

This sacred ceremony incorporates Reiki, guide visualization, transformational breathwork, music, sound, healing energy, Shamanic tools and soul expansion techniques to facilitate a deep personal Sacred Journey into the depths of your own Soul and Beyond!

This process provides a safe and loving container to shine a light on deep-seated emotional issues, core wounds and limiting beliefs. It offers profound and lasting shifts enabling one’s radiance to shine through, positively affecting all areas of your life.  Sessions run around 2 hours for in-person ceremony.

Breathwork opens up pathways to rejuvenate cells and organs. It places your mind in the present moment. And it connects you to a oneness of the universe. Breathing becomes not only a physical process but a mental and spiritual one as well. In breathwork, you learn to understand the sacred power behind breathing.

Our body is a super smart instrument, and it connects you with the unconsciousness part of your psyche that you can activate it through breathwork techniques. With the specific intention you set before the breathwork, your body knows where to take you to receive the healing energy.

THIS is THE MOST POWERFUL Clearing & Awakening Session. Deep Shamanic breathing has been found to facilitate profound emotional releases, open new channels of awareness and clear toxicity in the body. Inner Sensory Breathwork incorporates Anahata Ananda’s Shamangelic TM Breathwork methods, guided visualization, deep breathing techniques, vibrational sound, soulful music, energy healing, Shamanic tools, crystal therapy and light body expansion techniques to facilitate a personal Sacred Journey into the depths of your own soul and BEYOND!!!

Each ceremony provides a safe and loving container for you to go inward to shine a light on deep-seated emotional issues, core wounds and limiting beliefs. It offers profound and lasting shifts enabling one’s radiance to shine through, positively affecting all areas of your life.  Cost: $66

 

Hachumak Energy Sessions

Friday, August 12 and Saturday, August 13 @10am – 6pm

The private energy healing sessions include the laying on of hands to specific parts of the body. The client is asked to close his/her eyes and focus within, but no specific thoughts need to be held and no conscious effort is needed from the client. Hachumak makes a dialogue with the deep part of the person’s consciousness, and by bringing the healing forces with whom he keeps a connection, the force of life directs itself to what is individually needed by the client. This can have a clearing effect of past pains and darkness and reconnects the client’s inner self with the healing force of life. This is not just a release of old patterns but a true reconstruction of the inner world of the client in a healthier way. Sessions $250 for 1 ½ hours. Appointments are scheduled at 10am, 12nn, 2pm, & 4pm. Cash only.  Call 989-486-3820 to schedule your appointment.

Intro to Becoming an Empowered Wife Workshop

Wednesday, September 21 @ 7:00 – 8:30pm

Join Reagan Rios in an afternoon of learning, reframing and skills for how to become an empowered woman and an empowered wife. Walking away from this workshop you’ll be able to implement practices on the same day to guide you in finding more love for yourself and your husband/partner. Based on the book “The Empowered Wife” written by Laura Doyle, this workshop will focus on reframing around relationship dynamics, expectations, healthy communication, giving and receiving pleasure and care to and from your partner, and ultimately having a deeply intimate and loving partnership.

Reagan offers a unique perspective as she weaves in her education around the masculine and feminine energy dynamics of humans and focuses on how to create that within your partnership by choosing to explore and utilize what skills work for you in your relationship, while also emphasizing giving yourself and your partner lots of grace and compassion along the way.

This workshop is an overview of the book and introduction to a monthly/bi-monthly book club. In the book club we’ll get to dive into the nuances of the book, openly discuss the concepts and tools, hear different perspectives and opinions and learn other healing techniques, like meditation and EFT tapping, to support us in building ourselves up. Cost: $20  Books available at Ways To Wellness
