This fall, Diana hosted the first 'essence of yoga' silent retreat at Lial's stunning renewal center in Whitehouse. Ohio. All were so amazed at the power of this retreat and are super excited to make this a part of their year going forward! The foods were wholesome and delicious vegan/gluten free, the grounds were stunning and so calming, the guided meditations and practices were restoring and relaxing, Diana assisted those that came in so many techniques for finding balance, and her private energy sessions were powerful for those that used them.

We could not wait to give you all the chance to reserve your spot for next year! We have reserved 2 weekends and people are starting to book already so please do not wait! Please call or stop in to the studio to reserve your room asap.

* No refunds will be given within 45 days of the start date of the retreat due to room number limitations.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
 
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
 
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.

SomaEnergetics Phase I Practitioner Course
with  Diana Spiess
When: November 3-4
Times: Saturday 11-7 (1 hr lunch)
Sunday 11:30-4:30

About the Course:
Sound/Vibrational Therapy is an incredible way to assist the health and well-being of anyone! Diana is now certified to offer Phase I for SomaEnergetics as a practitioner course and is excited to teach anyone interested in learning how to use these amazing frequencies! From the SomaEnergetics site:

The Energy Vitality Technique taught in the Phase 1 course is the basis for all the other techniques taught in subsequent courses. Only by activating the energy the client is not using, connecting them to 5th dimensional energy, and then safely distributing that energy throughout the energy centers can we then do additional work with the open system we just created.

Activating unused energy and reminding them of their connection to the universal source is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone. When we have extra energy beyond survival, then we can manifest, heal, attract wonderful co-creative partnerships and friendships. That is the genius of the Energy Vitality Technique - giving the gift of the ability to manifest your hearts desire!

The Energy Vitality Technique offers the following:
  • Reconnect with your inner energy potential using the ancient Solfeggio frequencies to balance and impart harmony in your life.
  • Sound is a way to free blocked energy, thereby creating openings in which novel choices are awakened and new-found energy becomes available for personal transformation, health and healing.
  • These protocols may be used immediately after training for both personal and client-centered application.

As with all our workshops, this is a work in progress. Most disciplines are ever evolving as new information becomes available or new techniques are discovered. It is our desire to become a contributor to the new field of sound therapy and energy medicine that is fusing spirituality and science.

As we learn and work with clients, we must always return to the foundation of our work as Spiritual Healers. With intention, the Divine works through us to assist the client to return to homeostasis or balance allowing the body to make the corrections necessary to heal itself. We do not heal anyone. All or our techniques are designed around this principle of Divine Healing through intention to bring balance. The tuning forks are a tool used to direct this divine healing energy.

Pranayama: Working with the Breath to Extend and Enhance our Lives

“There are many important reasons it is called ‘the breath of life’. All we are, all we do, is driven not just by if we are breathing but, rather, by how we are breathing. “ ~ Diana 

Adding onto the workshop from the day before, and considering all that goes into maintaining a balanced nervous system for proper digestion, learn in detail why working with the breath is so important, and experience multiple ways of breathing.

Diana has completed over 1000 hours of yoga teacher training alone in her career including a year-long certification program on Pranayama (conscious breathing). This, along with her health science background leaves her very clear on the science behind breathing and the immense energetic and physiological importance. She has helped numerous clients with asthma and major medical conditions significantly improve their breathing. She has also helped serious athletes, those with anxiety, and many more. 
PRICING
$40 for 2 YEP groups or $25 for 1.
Space is limited.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH • GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN/VEG

Paleo Vegan Apple Crisp

Here come the amazing apples!! 
This is a terrific recipe that allows you to stay on track and still enjoy the yummy apples that are about to be ready for the picking! This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving and can be topped when warm with a vanilla almond milk ice cream or coconut ice cream. 

Enjoy! 
We need to breathe… well!

This is such a beautiful time of the year!  The colors are about to amaze us and getting outside to witness them is so addictive! But, with this change comes season allergies for some and the cooler air can leave our lungs a bit tighter. I will be doing a very important workshop at the end of the month on Pranayama (conscious breathing) and I can not emphasize enough the power in practicing this way. The number of breath practices are many so if one is not comfortable or working for you, there are many options to try. In my career, I have seen such dramatic improvements in some of my clients and their entire health by practicing more conscious, controlled breathing, We truly are driven in all ways by not just if we are breathing, but how we are breathing, Our entire nervous system, our ANS (autonomic nervous system), is driven by the process of how we are breathing and this dictates so much. 

Try some powerful, calming, balancing, warming, cooling breathing practices with me this month.  Let’s go into our holiday and winter season feeling wonderful, and keep our immune system strong!

Namaste,
Diana
