These are weekly 1 hour discussions to serve as a reminder to WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS. Your thoughts create your world. If you are willing to confront your most basic repetive negative thoughts, you will receive the tools needed to turn them around. Even shifting just one thought can transform your whole life, healing relationships and how you feel about yourself.

Injecting wisdom into your thinking gives you a feeling of strength and personal power. RSVP via phone 860.691.0743 or email amymartin@time4healing.com

A place to meet, talk and share our massage experiences for professional growth and personal support. 
It's time for us, as Massage Therapists, to set aside an hour or so to discuss areas of concern, i.e., did you know that CT. license fees are going to increase, a new law is back on the books for sales tax for massage services, new legislation that makes working without a massage license a 3rd degree felony?
The most important part however is getting together, to just be with likeminded individuals, to inspire and rejuvenate each other.

Do you long to find a clear path to your centered inner wisdom?  Would you like to feel calm and confident when facing an important task or difficult decision?  Do you struggle with an inner critic?

Focusing is a mind/body/spirit process which helps you access your body’s innate wisdom.  Focusing heightens self-awareness and has been shown to facilitate decision-making, reduce stress, help move past inner blocks to action, and calm an inner critic.

Come and learn the basic attending and listening steps of the Focusing process.  Learn to trust your bodily felt sense of a situation, to listen with compassionate acceptance, and to be more present to yourself and others.

An Unique Meditation Practice
4 two hour sessions, once a week $200                                                                                                  Facilitated by Amy Martin APRN, RhD
This is a powerful imagery technique for daily use. You will learn to create a place of peace within your consciousness where you will feel restored and enlightened!

If you’ve always thought Meditation was too difficult, but you are seeking a way to consistently calm and center yourself, this class will give you the tools you need.

You will experience the power of breath work, the raising of your consciousness to focus on the highest and brightest energy within you. Awaken your inspiration as you find the spark within to ignite your creative energy. You will feel the power of your own spiritual abilities and leave with the answers needed to transform your life.

As you become accomplished at guided imagery you will mentally construct a ‘sacred space’ within, where you can go to feel re-energized, strengthened and inspired. Building upon the understanding that your thoughts and intent open the way for you to be healed, this guided imagery approach to Meditation connects you to your own spirit in a real and potent way.
Based on Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, this practice is meant to align you with the highest and brightest part of you. The results of regular Meditation practice will be a more peaceful and composed life.

I look forward to ushering you in to that calm place within your deepest self.
