Dear (Contact First Name),

Hello all! 
      Being Mindful is a full time job sometimes!  It is an action that takes practice and diligence but is a godsend if you can just remember to do it. Staying present keeps anxiety and worry at a minimum.  In this time that we live in, that is a priceless gift.  We are starting a new Meditation Class here at EE given by Mary Skupinski that will certainly help you with Mindfulness, and hopefully give you a way to find some peace in your day to day living.
      I am certainly glad that spring is here...well for the most part. However that is also why some of us...perhaps the more "mature" of us, have a few more aches and pains than normal due to working in the yard. We have been using some muscles that have laid dormant during the winter months!!!  If you, like me, have that malady remember EE has great massage therapists just waiting to take care of your aches and pains. There's nothing like a good massage to get you going again!
     Also please note and welcome two new Yoga instructors to our family.  Kelly, who is teaching a Beginning Yoga class at 6:45pm on Monday evening , and Mariah who is teaching a Vinyasa Yoga class at 7:00pm on Wednesday evening.
 
Wishing you Blessings and Peace...
Glenda

THIS MONTHS

"Finding Center"

This month's "Finding Center" is presented by Irving Wells.  He is a Hypnotherapist at Essential Energies.....

 

 

    Hypnosis has been effectively utilized for hundreds and thousands of years to benefit people for a wide range of concerns, including physical, emotional and mental.  
     I find one of the major questions clients have is, will the Hypno-Therapist be able to get into my head, find out all "my secrets" and give me a suggestion to do something I do not want to do? The answer is an emphatic NO! The individual being hypnotized is always in control and has full control to reveal what they choose and to accept or reject any suggestion. It is imperative that the client and therapist have a mutual relationship of clear, open communication and trust. I firmly believe that each client has the right and should expect that what is discovered during a session is maintained in strict personal confidence. It is true that Therapists discuss issues encountered but never, never are names or situations disclosed that could lead to a clients privacy being revealed. In most all sessions the client hears and remembers the entire session and generally finds additional points of clarity surfacing in the hours and days to follow.
      In my work I have found that in a large percentage of symptoms that an individual is experiencing that the origin, that causative experience, occurred much earlier in their life time and more often in a previous life time or life times. The emotional cause has made such a dramatic impact on the conscious, sub-conscious and higher self that the emotional impact tends to repeat over and over in similar and related experiences in this incarnation. Experiences in the current life time show up in a multitude of ways. Examples are, but certainly not limited to addictions, abnormal weight gain or loss, nervous reactions, unwanted reactions to people, places, events, self control, motivation, procrastination. This list continues and for many the symptoms continue until the emotional attachment to the causative event is neutralized.  
     Regression for most people, becomes a very satisfying, mind opening and gratifying experience. There are some that are just curious and want to know if they have lived before, others want to know why they seem to always react in a way that they would prefer something different, more peaceful, less conflicting, not self destructive and more loving, successful and joyful.
     As one begins to assemble the events of life times, how we have matured as a soul through these lessons on our journey to enlightenment our perspective and acceptance of the wondrous journey we are experiencing makes more clear our inner sense of purpose. This may be the opportune time for you to "Creat your Life"

Hand Reading is Back!
with Adrienne Alesio
 
Special Event Saturday  April 2nd
Heading for Spring, when Nature springs to life anew.  How about you?
This season, spring to a better life with the help of your hands. 

Life is an adventure. 
From the get-go three things are vital to progress and success: 
1) a map, 2) a compass, and 3) the provisions to see you through.
You already have and can improve these things. 

The map is the knowledge in the mind.
The compass is the awareness in the heart.
The provisions are the powers in the body. 

All of these things are in your hands. 
Moreover, you can get a better handle on them by learning about your hands. 

Our hands are natural true-to-life mirrors.  Mirrors picture and reflect.  Similarly hands picture and reflect human beings and their lives faithfully.  What is more, looking deeply into these extraordinary mirrors imparts wisdom that enlightens your existence. 

Adrianne Eliseo will return to Essential Energies on Saturday April 2nd for Hand Reading appointments.  You can book a 30 minute session for $35.00 or a one hour session for $65,00.

 For an appointment call Adrianne Eliseo at Handiworks  269- 373-6677.

   I am Kelly Feuerstein a  200 hour certified yoga teacher. I have a Associates degree from Jackson College and a Bachelors degree from Siena Heights University.
     
When I decided to go through my teacher training I was just another unhealthy American. Now I have found the love and the connection for yoga that has changed my life forever... My goal as a teacher is to get my students to love yoga and their body's as much as I do....My classes are designed for beginners and tend to be at a little bit of a slower pace. Even thought my class is designed for beginner, all levels are welcome.  I want to make sure that my students understand the terminology of yoga and get rid of any stereotype or fear they might have for the practice I love. I look forward to continue to learn and grow with everyone at Essential Energies.

Classes begin Monday, April 4th from 6:45 - 7:45pm.
(Preregistration is preferred but drop-ins are welcome)

Wednesday Night Yoga

Hello, my name is Mariah Schmidt and I am a 500 hour yoga instructor through 
Hilltop Yoga.

     I  am currently completing my requirements to become Yoga Alliance certified. I finished my 500  hours in-class training in May of 2015! I am eager to start teaching so I can begin to learn an
grow along with my students. 
     My journey as a Yogi began a few years ago as I desperately  searched for an outlet to release built up emotional energy. What I found was a safe space where  I was free to connect with the deeper aspects of myself and begin to heal from past traumas  among like-minded friends. I truly believe that the practice of yoga is the best medicine for a  wide range of illnesses whether on the physical or mental plane. As I continue to teach I aspire
to be a vessel through which I can guide my students using the energies that will be  continuously flowing through the body, mind, and spirit.
     I will be teaching a Vinyasa class, centered on the flow of prana or life force energy through the  physical body paired with breath awareness as we progress through the asanas or postures. Also,
incorporating other styles of yoga into the mix such as Kundalini yoga, which includes swift  movements of the body and a quickened breath. It is my hope to build physical strength, vitality,  and balance along with increasing awareness using these methods. Upon observing the energetic  quality of the room, I will determine the flow of class for that day making each class a unique  and fulfilling experience.

Beginning April 20, 2016
Class level: Intermediate to advanced
Schedule: Wednesdays 7-8pm
Cost: Drop-ins $10 a class or 6 class punch card for $48 (expires in eight weeks of purchase.)

GRANDMOTHER'S CIRCLE
 Wed., April 27th
 7:00 - 9:00 pm

Join us to feel that peace and harmony you have been seeking. Let us introduce you to God the "Grandmother". Our Grandmothers' Circle meets the 4th Wednesday of every month from 7:00pm to 9:00pm to meditate and hold the world steady with the Net of Light in support of all life. In addition, we pass on empowerments to open new attendees to the feminine earth energies, and provide networking with other like minded individuals. 

The Great Council of the Grandmothers has come to return the Earth to balance, to restore the feminine principle, and bring the energies of the feminine and masculine into harmony.

"We will do this work primarily through individual women as women are the natural reservoirs of Yin for this planet. It is time to awaken the presence of the feminine and bring men, women and all life back into harmony on the Earth."

Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is a lay Buddhist movement linking more than 12 million people around the world. SGI members integrate their Buddhist practice into their daily lives, following the Lotus Sutra based teachings of Nichiren, a 13th-century Japanese Buddhist priest. Just as the lotus blooms in a muddy pond, all people can manifest the Buddha nature--inner resources of courage, wisdom and compassion that can equip them to overcome life's challenges and lead happy and fulfilling lives. As "engaged Buddhists," SGI members aim to create value in any circumstances and contribute to the well-being of others. Their practice sparks a process of ongoing inner transformation and empowerment known as "human revolution." The promotion of peace, culture and education is central to SGI's activities.
