About this workshop

Wouldn’t it be nice if you always felt connected to your internal guidance system? And you had the clarity to know exactly what your Inner Wisdom was trying to tell you most of the time?

Your Inner Wisdom speaks to you through your sensory experiences - primarily your symptoms, your emotions, and your feelings.

We are always connected to our Inner Wisdom, the problem is only that we can’t “feel” the connection. We can’t intuit the message because we are incorrectly interpreting our sensory experiences.

Pain gets interpreted as a problem that needs to be fixed causing us to miss the significance of what our pain is actually here to offer us.

Our feelings and emotions are constantly being misinterpreted because of our past conditioning and trauma.

The result is emotional INCOHERENCE.

It’s like your Inner Wisdom speaking German when your mind only knows English. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to understand what your Higher SELF was trying to communicate to you?

Emotional COHERENCE occurs when what you feel and what you think about what you feel is harmonious and consistent with the guidance your Higher SELF is offering you.

In Emotional Coherence, you will discover the process of unraveling all the mental conditioning you have around your sensory experiences. We will explore the difference between your emotions and your feelings as well as how to correctly interpret the sensory experiences of your body.


About the instructor:

Cassie Seal is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Craniosacral Therapist, and Somato-Emotional Release Practitioner. She has been a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, and Buddhist Meditation for more than 10 years and has had a private practice for over 7 years in South Bend, Indiana. She is passionate about shifting the current medical paradigm and revolutionizing the way in which we heal as human beings.


Thirteen years ago, Cassie experienced a health challenge that would forever change her beliefs about healing. She struggled for over 5 years to “correct” her digestive health - radically overhauling her diet, consulting with multiple doctors and therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors - finding relief, but never healing until she discovered the root of the problem. Since then she has experienced not only a healing of her physical body but a radical transformation of her entire life. 


Cassie is excited to share with you her ALIGNED and EMOTIONAL COHERENCE workshops that reveal the system she discovered to heal herself and that she now uses to help her clients experience the same radical transformation that she experienced.

SILENT RETREAT WITH MARIAN KRIZMAN

On Saturday, March 4th from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Cost: $50


During our time together, I will hold space and guide meditations to connect with our inner world. The transition from winter to spring is an ideal time to create space for self care and to plant intentions we wish to cultivate.

Our day will begin with gentle Mindful Yoga, followed by a seated meditation and body scan. The body scan is an important piece that allows you to bring awareness to sensations present or not present in the body. A walking meditation will follow, then an extended mindful lunch. We will conclude with Restorative Yoga, to allow for deep rest.


Space is limited.  

Please contact me at [email protected] with any questions and to reserve your space.

ALIGNED: WHY YOU AREN'T HEALING AND WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW SO YOU CAN WITH CASSIE SEAL

About this workshop: 

What is the one thing that you spend the majority of your time thinking about, worrying about, contemplating, analyzing, trying to fix, figure out, etc?


In a recent workshop that I did where I asked this question, I also asked participants to tell me how long they had been actively “trying to” shift this one thing. 


The average response was TWO decades. AVERAGE! It ranged from two years to 40+ years. Why does it take us so long to come into alignment with what we truly desire?


**Why do we struggle to heal our body, quit smoking, lose weight?

**Why do we struggle to find meaningful work, quit a job that we hate, or start that business we have always dreamed of?

**Why do we struggle to find love, keep love, and create connection and meaning in our relationships?

**Why is it so hard to find the space, time, energy, and money to do the things we have always wanted to do?


The reason is that most of us, most of the time, are not operating in a state of alignment. Alignment is a state of being where your desires, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions are harmonious and coherent with each other.


Alignment, however, is only 1 of 4 possible states of being and our past experience, conditioning, and trauma create a default pathway of habitual thoughts, feelings, and behavior that keep us from regularly entering into a state of alignment. It’s why we feel like we are constantly paddling upstream or struggling just to stay afloat.


In Aligned: Why you aren’t healing and what you need to know so you can, you’ll learn about these 4 states of being including what alignment looks and feels like as well as how to avoid the trap of the other 3 states of being so that you are intentionally creating the optimal health, well-being, and consciousness that your soul came here to experience.
