Healing Body—Mind, Body, Spirit
Monday, May 19, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Melissa Shelton-Davies, Energy Therapist
Pam Kowal, MS, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist,
Hudson Counseling Services
Attend this free health seminar to learn an introduction to the healing techniques using acupuncture, mind and body patterns and meditative practices. The presenters will reveal the healing impacts of qi gong, meditative practices, and energy cleansing. They will also help you understand how your mind and spirit work in conjunction with your body patterns to either block or support areas of growth in your life. Once you can more clearly understand why you have been “stuck” in different areas of your life, you can begin to create an action plan
for change.

Meditation Sessions for Stress and Pain
Four-class series Tuesdays, May 20, June 13 and 17, and July 1 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Theresa May, Heaven on Earth Healing Arts and holistic practitioner
Mental stress causes havoc in our body, weakening the immune system, slowing down the body's natural healing processes and increases blood pressure, inflammation, cell degeneration, and weight gain. Chronic emotional states such as worry, anxiety or anger and resentment perpetuate imbalance and can eventually lead to chronic illness. Research shows us that when the mind is at peace - the body is at peace.
During this free seminar series, you'll learn how to meditate and receive help in establishing longer-term stress and pain reduction behaviors. Topics will include breathing technique, comfortable body positions, visual imager, easing into the practice, and the "how to" to simplifying excessive thoughts that distract and cause anxiety.
Come join us for this peaceful practice and learn the power of your mind and body. You will experience a variety of meditation styles such as: mindfulness breathing, qigong and outcome based imager. the seminar can be experienced sitting in a chair, or, bring an optional mat or pillow for sitting or lying down.
