Sherry Ward MS, LPC, CSAC, RN has been in healing professions for over 45 years and has focused on healing addictions with Therapeutic Breathwork. She leads a guided meditation and presents her history of healing and the importance of community and doing deeper work to truly embrace in our life what additions mask and keep us from. She shares how breathwork can take us to the core or our recovery in ways promote our heart centered fulfillment.

By constantly keeping attention on the Source, the ego is dissolved in that Source like a salt doll in the sea.

The significance of this oneness principle lies in the fact that, rather than being at the mercy of our turbulent and ever-changing environment, we as human beings can instead influence out environment from the inside out. As we cultivate our Buddha nature, our actions increasingly accord with our deepest wisdom and compassion. As we become indestructibly happy, that happiness is echoed in our environment. This principle urges us to bring forth our innate Buddha nature so solidly that we can build indestructible happiness within us regardless of what adversity or ease our environment presents.

Course Objectives:

Identify how to manifest in the world from your light body,

Practice energetic charging, opening doors of clarity, silence and manifestation, original conception
Master visioning possibilities based on meeting of inspiration and desire, honoring the spirit of the vision and inviting it in
Invocation of word made substance, giving commands and adaptive guidance,
Loving what you be, do and have, loving your dreams to life, mastering the strongest magnet in the universe,

Each class in the series will present exercises for mastery of our light bodies from the eighth to the first chakra. All will have the opportunity to be supported in a special manifestation of their choosing. This course involves practicing new life affirming exercises that improve the quality of lives daily, building upon what is done each class to truly grow in mastery, and develop tools which will continue to be useful throughout one's life.
