Movie: What the “Bleep” do we know – Feb. 13th 2019

The world of Quantum Physics and Unified Field Theory in particular tell us that the world we live in is profoundly different from the way we habitually see it. This movie takes us on a life changing journey with Amanda, a divorced photographer, as she tumbles into a multi-dimensional world.  The worlds of spirituality and quantum physics bring her to transform frozen attitudes and beliefs and to move to a place of profound clarity and meaning. This story is beautifully woven into powerful interviews with cutting edge scientists and scholars, including an award-winning quantum physicist. I hope you’ll join us.

WHEN: Wednesday Feb.13th 2019  7:30-9:15 P.M.

INNER SMILE MEDITATION SERIES

            Yin-Yang

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself… Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.  Eckhart Tolle

Dear Friends,

The Inner Smile meditation builds healing energy in the body while calming the Body-Mind. When we smile at people in a genuine way they respond by relaxing and often trusting us more. The same thing can   happen within ourselves as we smile into the body. I look forward to sharing this beautiful process which comes to us from the Taoist tradition.

Qi gong to Fall Asleep

  1. Knees to chest, lying on back to 1 min. Breathe 5 times
  1. Lying legs straight, breathe in while placing hands above head. Breathe in through nose, out through mouth
  1. Make fists; place both fists above the Kidneys (or as high up as comfortable), take 3 breaths. Continue down the spine to the tailbone.(when you get to the waist and below, it’s 5 breaths instead of 3)

4.   Put both hands at uterus area (below the navel). Breathe deeply 5 times.

5.   OPTIONAL: Go face down for 1 min.  

If you do this frequently, you will find that you fall asleep before even finishing the set of postures…and you’ll sleep more deeply.

Enjoy!

Marie
