Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India. Ayu means ‘life’ and veda means ‘science’. So the literal meaning of Ayurveda is science of life. It is the powerful natural healing system for body, mind and spirit with an antiquity and parallel to the Yoga Tradition.Ayurveda’s goal is to achieve health by working towards balance and harmony of your particular energy pattern, or Dosha. In this Workshop you will gain the basic understanding of the philosophy of Ayurveda and how to apply it to your body, nutrition, daily regimen and yoga practice.

“Cast aside your preconceptions and enter a magical world where all things are connected to you, and you are connected to all things.” Each stone in the Medicine Wheel represents all the different aspects of ourselves, and opens our hearts to all of the relations on common Mother Earth. This intuitive reading, using stones and crystals, will give you insights and a focused tool to use over the next two months, offering a deeper understanding of major life lessons and current challenges

State of Being can best be described as a person’s perception of themselves and the world around them. Perception… it’s how you view life; but how was it created? Can you pinpoint the moment that created your view of the world? How does your perception affect your everyday experiences and relationships? Learning how and why you see the world a certain way is the first step to truly understanding yourself and your life. Come join us for Almapura ~ The Beginning – State of Being to explore your perceptions and the effects they have on your daily life.

The truth is, you are sublimely blessed in every moment. There is a divine love providing your every breath and giving your foot a place to rest with each step you take. That which we need is always given though we may not always realize that we need it!

We have no choice about whether or not to receive this love, but often times we do not accept that it is love. Acceptance is a powerful practice of receiving what is given with peace, grace and gratitude. Read more »

We are blessed everyday with the subtle energy of change. Sometimes this subtle energy is about as subtle as a freight train, and other times it is a whisper in the storm of our day to day lives. But whether it is immediate and looming or merely the hint of a scent on the air, change itself is constant.

Change doesn’t always feel like a blessing. It can be very uncomfortable for the ego, because the ego generally seeks permanence and stability. The ego is that which seeks immortality, while the spirit is that which is timeless and immortal.

We tend to think of things like a house or a car in a permanent way. We think of them as “something that will last”. However, we know intellectually that they will eventually rust and rot. We know that at some point in time, this thing that we think of as permanent will be completely decayed and unrecognizable. We only get bent out of shape when it happens sooner than later.

When the energy of change is strongly present in your life, breathe into it. Deepen the stretch with your awareness and live in the moment of your change. To deeply accept the feeling of uncertainty that comes with change is to take the first step towards certainty, in the same way that admitting our ignorance is the first step towards curing it.

When we accept change we can consciously participate in it. We have the ability to navigate the rapids rather than being bashed unwittingly against the rocks in the raging current of life.

The acceptance of change doesn’t mean we stop working for a better world. We must always try to be constructive, but we don’t have to wallow in the painful illusion that something terrible and unnatural has befallen something permanent. We can accept that change is inevitable in the world of form and we can work with the energy of change.

We can not change change, but we can change how we respond to it.

Be blessed in new ways every day !~.^!

Starts at 5 o’Clock! April 12!
Join us, as Downtown Crystal Lake businesses repeat this very popular evening event!

Ladies — bring your mothers, sisters, daughters, girlfriends (whoever!) downtown for lots of fabulous food, music, special deals, and more!

Check in at the Raue Center (26 N. Williams). The first 500 customers will receive a map, list of participating businesses and their specials, AND a goodie bag (courtesy of Ormsby Motors, International Hairways, Out of the Box, and The Cottage) filled with coupons, deals, and more! And — because you’ll be having so much fun all evening, we’ve arranged for a special “night-cap” of music, entertainment, and prizes at The Cottage at 9PM.

The event is FREE to all ladies. Just come downtown at 5PM and start at The Raue Center For The Arts. There you will receive a map of participating businesses and a list of their special promotions for the evening. You are free to explore all the great deals – walk around to all the stores and with every purchase made at one of the participating stores you will be entered into the GRAND RAFFLE!! The more stores you visit and the more purchases made, the greater your chance to WIN!! You don’t have to be present to win; BUT there will be more than one prize basket, so present winners will have the opportunity of selection!

How well do you know yourself? This is important because if you don’t know the true wonders of the human soul, you wont know what you have to share with others. When you look in the mirror, what do you see? If you don’t see a magnificent unfolding mystery, you aren’t looking close enough! Who is it that is actually seeing the reflection any way? Is it your eyeballs? Is it your brain?

Have you noticed the difference between what you have and what you are? Read more »

May 25, 2012 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Reiki Shares consist of getting together and performing Reiki healing energy on each other. At a Reiki Share the practitioner is able to use this energy to help one achieve balance in their body, mind and spirit. The benefit of a Reiki Share is that everyone who participates gets a mini “tune-up” Reiki energy session.

Class Price: $5 suggested

If you know about the Law of Attraction, you know that you are supposed to think positive thoughts, and you know that you are supposed to focus on your intent, on what you DO want. You know that gratitude is huge and that the actual feeling of joy and fulfillment are key to the success of the process. . .

But it’s still not working is it?

For many people this is a good enough start to get it going, and they just have to play with it to fine tune the practice. However,  there are two tools that I feel would help almost anyone who is trying to work with the Law of Attraction, and I would like to add them to your tool belt today if  you’ll hear me out! These tools are, the Rule of Opposites and the Law of Release! Read more »
