Gong Meditation Saturday, February 27th at 6 pm A gong meditation is an opportunity to bathe in the healing resonant sound harmonics that a gong creates. Gongs embody the universal sound & basic chordal structure of the eternal AUM. The physical sound vibration of the gong is powerful and soothing, invigorating & relaxing all at the same time. This is a non denominational experience; all that is needed is an open mind and an open set of ears. The result is that these sonic, mystical characteristics provide a vehicle for quieting the mind & body.

Meditation is as a strategy of cultivating the mind. In the world we live, communities think that they can find happiness, inner peace and harmony through wealth power and social states. They also seek happiness through family relationship, jobs, partners, friends and sensual pleasure. They try to change the external conditions of their physical, social and political environment in various ways, because they believe that when these conditions are developed, they can become happy and peaceful. But they forget that conditions will stop changing no time. Even before the fulfillment of their dreams, things will change and the promise of happiness fades away like the morning mist at daybreak Second Week Benefits of meditation. Third Week Recognizing the mind Forth Week How to meditate? Fifth Week Two types of meditation. Vipassana meditation is the method which cultivates the skill of seeing things as they are. If we see the reality, mental defects, five hindrances can over come. Sixth Week Recognizing the mental defects: "Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom." -Buddha

Nutrition & Yoga
The basic principle of nutrition, from the yoga perspective, is to eat small quantities of high quality foods. The high quality foods are those which promote the life force of the body without producing toxins. The recommended foods are fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. Yoga's principles of nutrition are very similar to what modern science has discovered in more recent times. Nutrition and yoga compliment each other well. Both are designed to nourish the body, mind and spirit. We are as different on the inside as we are on the outside. Since nutritional needs vary from person to person there is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" nutritional program. We will create a custom program for each individual according to their blood type, environment and health and lifestyle concerns. Nutrition is not just about food, it is about living a lifestyle that promotes wellness. This approach to health will also incorporate fitness, yoga, and meditation. Clients can expect major changes to occur in their understanding of their body as well as in their attitude, energy levels and weight. Together we create a personalized sustainable nutrition program that includes supplements as well as cooking with whole foods. These changes can create a dynamic shift in lifestyle, relationships, career and self-esteem. We offer a comprehensive nutrition program that detects health problems that are beginning as well as ones that already exist. Our tests determine what nutrients and vitamins your body is deficient in, if your current supplements are working and what harmful toxins exist within your body. We use blood, hair analysis and a personal consultation to help us gather this information. Our tests are performed by doctors so most insurance companies fully cover our programs. Through awareness you will create a balance within yourself that will not only positively impact you but all those around you. Stop in today. We will create the optimal nutrition program for you. Our nutritionists will consult clients across a wide spectrum and are trained to address:
