Sunday August 1, 1 pm to 3 pm: Pranic Healing Intro/Clinic

PRANIC HEALING is a highly developed and tested system of energy based healing techniques that utilizes "prana" to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy processes. "Prana" is a Sanskrit word that means "life-force". This invisible bio-energy or vital energy keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. In acupuncture, the Chinese refer to this subtle energy as "Chi". It is also called "Ruah" or the "Breath of Life" in the Old Testament.

Grand Master Choa Kok Sui developed simple, powerful and effective energy healing techniques based on the principle that the body is a "self-repairing" living entity possessing the innate ability to heal itself. Pranic Healing works on the principle that healing processes are accelerated by focusing life force or vital energy (Prana) on the affected part of the physical body as well as the entire energy body of the individual. There will be a twin hearts mediation as well as a healing offered.  Donation.

Wednesday, August 11 7pm: Message Service

Doris Bell and Dr. Barbara Williams

 

Thursday, August 12 7 -9 pm: Mayan Calendar - Whay Does It Mean To Us?

There has been much information flying around about the Mayan Calendar these days. Often, it is connected to the “supposed” end of time date of December 21, 2012. I find this most interesting because nowhere in the Maya Lands is that date even mentioned. Also, unlike many other calendars across the globe, the Mayan Calendar was not created based upon astronomy or astrology so how could it possibly have an end date based on the cycles of the moon and astrological alignments? If this is the case then what kind of calendar is the Mayan Calendar, why on earth was it created, and what does it have to do with us? Just let me say that the answers to these questions and many others will be answered in this class. And let me intrigue you a little by saying that the Mayan Calendar does indeed have an end point and it is not very far away. And this end point has everything to do with us, EVERYTHING, and, as you will discover in this class, it is in our best interest to learn about its meaning now. Join us for a very interesting evening as we decode the Mayan Calendar. This class is based largely on the work of Dr. Carl Johann Calleman and his book: The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness. Janet Decker $20
