MERIDIAN TAPPING

Thursday April 21st. 6:30 p.m.

Marie Smith will be teaching next Thursday's class on Meridian Tapping Techniques which is also referred to as "Energy Medicine" or "Energy Psychology". These techniques stimulate specific points on your body that are associated with your meridian energy system. Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is really a set of techniques that utilize the body's energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by Tapping on them with your fingertips—literally Tapping into your body's own energy and healing power.

The class will consist of 3 different tapping sessions:

Using tapping as a form of meditation
Tapping while working with positive affirmations
Using tapping to work through negative emotions and thoughts and release them

Marie will begin the class with a chakra meditation for balance. Everyone who has attended Marie's classes have been very informed and motivated. She puts a great deal of time and effort in her preparation so lets support her and invite a friend to join us.

Thanks,
Peggy

THE POWER OF JOURNALING

Thursday March 17th 6:30

Loran Hills will be teaching her second class on the importance of journaling. She states that "If you want to grow as a person mentally, emotionally and spiritually, keeping a journal is a powerful tool. Your journal is your gift to your highest Self. A journal functions as a multi-faceted mirror.  As you practice exploring your inner Self, you can clear your mind and clarify your emotions and you will be able to move forward in healthier and more creative ways."

She has decided to present a second class as she states, "The first class was a lot of fun. There was so much discussion I didn't get through most of the writing exercises. If you would like to write in a journal more creatively or to help you with your personal or spiritual growth, then this is the class for you! I will also have a small book I wrote, The Spiral Mystery, available for sale for $15 that includes information and tips. The cost just covers my printing expenses".

Loran has been writing in a journal since age 8. Bring some paper and a pen you love to write with! These classes are free. Let's all support Loran

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING .

OUR INNER JOURNEY TO FINDING OUR AUTHENTIC SELF
THURSDAY MARCH 3RD 6:30



At this Thursday's class I will be discussing how we can find happiness, peace, and love in our lives regardless of our outside circumstances by embarking on an inward journey of spiritual awakening to find our authentic self. We will discover that we already have all that we need to be genuinely happy. This journey will bring about emotional, psychological and spiritual transformation which is life changing. As I feel that meditation is a very important tool in this process, we will be doing some meditation so wear comfortable clothing.

These classes are free and give us the opportunity to form new friendship and share our ideas with others and in doing so we can EMPOWER each other. Invite a friend.

THANKS LOREN

Laren Hills taught Thursday's class on the many aspects of journaling. She discussed how journaling isn't just a diary for future posterity but is a practice for exploring our inner self and in doing so can clear our mind and clarify our emotions. Loren stated that there are are many different approaches to journaling too numerous to discuss in one class and therefore she has agreed to teach several more classes in the upcoming months. I feel that we are very fortunate to have Loren agree to teach these classes and share her passion for journaling which she has been doing since she was eight years old. I have made the commitment to journal each day and I have already seen the results. Thank you Loren for giving us your time and commitment especially at no cost to anyone. Please spread the word and support her!

Thanks again,

Peggy

SUMMER SCHEDULE

DUE TO THE BUSY TIMES THE SUMMER MONTHS BRING I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO SCHEDULE ANY REGULAR CLASSES DURING THIS TIME. HOWEVER FOR THOSE INTERESTED I WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE AN OUTDOOR GROUP MEDITATION FOR WORLD PEACE SOMETIME IN THE SUMMER. THERE ARE MANY GROUPS OF PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY GATHERING TOGETHER TO DO THIS AS WELL. ALSO THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WANTING TO GET TOGETHER AND HAVE GROUP DISCUSSIONS ON "MINDFULLNESS", "LIVING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT" AND MAKING OUR LIVES MORE MEANINGFUL. I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW WHEN THE FIRST GET TOGETHER WILL BE.

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT SUMMER. PEGGY

FRIDAYS CLASS TO BE POSPONED

I HAD SCHEDULED A CLASS THIS FRIDAY DEALING WITH THE TRAGIC DEATH OF MY SISTER, JANIEL WHO ENDED HER LIFE LAST AUGUST. WE AS A FAMILY HAVE DECIDED TO GET TOGETHER THIS WEEKEND TO REMEMBER OUR MOM AND SISTER AND WORK ON THE HEALING PROCESS OF LOSING SOMEONE SO CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS. AS I DO FEEL THAT THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, I WILL RESCHEDULE AT A LATER DATE.

AT THE TIME OF MY SISTER'S DEATH, MY FRIENDS GAVE ME A TREE WHICH VAL AND I PLANTED IN A MEMORY GARDEN THAT WE HAVE CREATED IN OUR YARD FOR LOVED ONES WHO HAVE PASSED. IT IS HERE WHERE WE FIND SOLICE AND COMFORT. I LOVE YOU JANIEL AND THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. YOUR SISTER, PEGGY

THANKS AMY

MANY THANKS TO MY DAUGHTER, AMY WHO TRAVELED WITH HER FAMILY FROM NORTH OGDEN TO TEACH A CLASS ON END OF LIVE ISSUES AS SHE WORKED FOR HOSPICE FOR FIVE YEARS. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS GIVEN HER INCREDIBLE INSIGHT INTO HER OWN MORTALITY AND SPIRITUALITY. SHE SAID THAT SHE NOTED IN MOST CASES THAT THE PEOPLE WHOS PASSINGS WERE PEACEFUL POSSESSED A DEEP SENSE OF THEIR OWN SPIRITUALITY REGARDLESS OF THEIR RELIGIOUS OR NON-RELIGIOUS VIEWS. SHE SAID THAT DEATH IS MANY TIMES VIEWED AS A TABOO SUBJECT BUT BY OPENING UP AND DISCUSSING IT, IT CAN BE EXPREMELY REWARDING AND HEALING. SHE FOUND THAT MOST PATIENTS AT THE END OF THEIR LIVES WANT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES OF DYING BUT THAT FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ARE AFRAID TO BRING IT UP. AMY SAYS THAT AFTER HAVING THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING WITH SOMEONE AT THEIR TIME OF DEATH HAS MADE HER NOT AFRAID OF DYING AND ABSOLUTELY BELIEVES THAT "LIFE GOES NO".

AS MANY PEOPLE WERE OUT OF TOWN FOR THE EASTER WEEKEND, I WOULD LIKE TO REPEAT THIS CLASS AT A FUTURE DATE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK ON THIS BLOG. THANKS, PEGGY

FINDING SPIRITUALITY THROUGH HOSPICE

FRIDAY APRIL 2ND 6:30

MY DAUGHTER, AMY IS AN RN WHO HAS WORKED IN SEVERAL AREAS OF THE NURSING PROFESSION FOR THE PAST 19 YEARS. SHE IS A CERTIFIED HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE NURSE AND PRACTICED IN THE HOSPICE FIELD FOR 5 YEARS. DURING THIS TIME SHE ASSISTED NUMEROUS PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES DEAL WITH THE PROCESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF DYING. WHILE OBSERVING THIS LIFE PROCESS IN OTHERS, SHE BECAMED AWARE OF THE MANY COMMON EXPERIENCES THAT DYING PATIENTS EXPERIENCE. SHE ALSO CAME TO REALIZE THAT THE HEALTH OF A PERSON'S "SPIRIT" OR "SOUL" WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN HOW THEY COPED WITH DEATH AND ACTUALLY PASSED AWAY. SHE SAYS SHE FOUND THAT THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY AND THAT EVEN THE VERY "RELIGIOUS" PATIENTS OFTEN TIMES HAD A DIFFICULT TIME WITH THE DEATH AND DYING PROCESS IF THEY HAD NOT ACTUALLY FACED THEIR SPIRITUALITY.

AMY SAYS THAT WORKING IN THE HOSPICE PROGRAM WAS THE MOST SATISFYING AND INSIGHTFUL OF ANY JOB SHE HAS HAD. IN THIS CLASS AMY WILL BE DISCUSSING HER HOSPICE EXPERIENCES, TAKING CARE OF A LOVED ONE AND THE DEATH AND DYING PROCESS. AS SHE IS TRAVELING FROM OGDEN, THIS CLASS WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY NIGHT, APRIL 2ND.

CARE OF INSIDE HOUSE PLANTS

I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS THURSDAY'S CLASS WHICH IS GOING TO BE TAUGHT BY MY SISTER-IN-LAW, JAN MIDDLETON. JAN HAS ALWAYS HAD A GREEN THUMB WITH BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE PLANTS. SHE AND HER HUSBAND, VIC MOVED FROM SALT LAKE CITY TO NEOLA A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. AS THEY ARE AVID HORSE LOVERS THEY PURCHASED SOME PASTURE ACERAGE AND MOVED A HOME ONTO IT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM ABOVE PHOTOS, THEY HAVE COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED THE LANDSCAPE, FRONT AND BACK WITH A WILD FLOWER LOOK. MOST OF THE PLANTS HAVE BEEN STARTED FROM SEED OR TRANSPLANTED.

JAN HAS ALSO WORKED IN THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT AT DAVIS JUBILEE IN ROOSEVLET WHERE SHE ORDERED AND CARED FOR THE HOUSE PLANTS AND MADE BOTH FRESTH AND SILK FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS. JAN SAYS SHE LOVES WORKING WITH PLANTS AND IS HAPPY TO SHARE HER KNOWLEDGE WITH EVERYONE. AS I STRUGGLE WITH MY YARD, I'M GOING TO BE TAKING LOTS OF NOTES. PLEASE JOIN US AND BRING A FRIEND. PEGGY
