First Sunday of the Month Gathering

Cindy Black, director of Meridian Massage Institute recently wrote  “Qi is not linear, it does not conform to intellectual ideas, and it is greater and wiser than any one person. A simple premise with powerful results”. On this thought I build. I build my own practice. A practice of sitting quietly each morning, checking in with myself, taking 10 minutes to connect my chakras (spinning vortex of energy) and breathe. This is just one way I practice going inward. This is just one way out of many that I know of to go inward. Going inward helps me to trust the energy that I feel and to be able to trust the information I feel when I touch others. Without this practice I feel “frazled”, “harried”, “anxious”. Once in a while, because of circumstances beyond my control, I skip or forget this morning practice, and I feel the difference and notice the difference in the way that my day goes. And then I am brought back to the reminder that I am important, that this practice is important, and that without it I struggle. My practice is centered on gratitude, gentleness, and awareness; gratitude in my heart for the Qi that surrounds and interpenetrates every cell and every thought and every action; gentleness to myself and others as we make our way on this journey I call “life school”; awareness that we all do the best we can with what we know, and the more we know the better we do. What about you? Do you know where to start? Are you interested in learning ways to slow down and go inward? Would you be interested in building a community that is also taking the time to go inward and who you can share your experiences with? If yes, then join me this Sunday, June 3rd @ 4pm. Learn an energy technique, bring a dish to pass and your own table setting, and an open heart... an hour of learning and practicing, along with sharing a meal (dish to pass) and conversation is what I offer. There is no fee, just your commitment to yourself to go inward! In joyful service, Janet
