Two exciting events coming up this week. Tomorrow is the first Know Thyself meditation:


When: Wednesdays, 9:30-11am, July 23 & 30, August 6 & 13
Cost: $140 for the whole series / $40 drop in
Register: call 973-763-2288 or pay online

"The Art of Inviting Happiness is to Know Thyself" is at the root of the Eastern Healing Arts Reiki and Jin Shin Jyutsu. Drop your shoulders, exhale fully, inhale deeply, smile and breathe. Stress is a symptom of having forgotten who you are. Through breath work, meditation (mindful and guided), movement, journaling and sharing, each class guides you home to your own divine intelligence and knowing to free you from stress. Join all four classes or pick the one you like. Each class is a stand-alone workshop. Bring a journal. Prepare to share.

Week 1 – Your Body Speaks
Guided Meditation: A conversation with the Higher Consciousness of your body to relieve tension, pain, or bring clarity around a condition.




Friday evening we are so honored to host a Gong Meditation:

Gong Meditation
with Maren Good and Michael Ungar

When: Friday, July 25, 7:30-9pm
Cost: $20 prepaid, $25 at the door
Register: call 973-763-2288 or pay online

A gong meditation is a sonic invitation to connect our world with the larger world and offers a moment to experience a greater sense of place in our cosmic home ... a cosmos that at its core is a harmonic and musical universe.

The Planetary gongs represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the other planets. Planet Gongs resonate harmonically with the cycles of the cosmos, communicating to us the Music of the Spheres. When sounded, we physically connect to their strength and power. The gongs resonate at a primal, archetypal level.

These beautifully crafted gongs are therapeutic works of art and alchemy and strike a resonance deep within us, drawing forth our own music. They are here to remind us that we are a microcosm reflecting and resonating with the macrocosm. All of their rich and beautiful tones reside within us and can draw us into a deep sense of peace, touching the most profound part of ourselves.

I'd love a Yoga for Runners/Athletea class. I've seen one listed at a studio in Morristown and it sounded interesting

Thank you Tarheels! That's a great idea. There's a possibility of an 11:15 am class on Wednesdays. We will ask one of our teachers who is a Gymnastics Coach. Could you make that class?

I couldn't as I work full-time, but perhaps others could! I know this is something Emily Ramos has mentioned in the past as well (she herself is a runner).

TarheelsInNj, what time/day would work for you? We have two teachers who are interested in teaching such a class. Thank you!

Either late evening, or weekends anytime

It could even work as just a once-a-month special or something, if there wasn't enough interest week-to-week. I'd love to know some of the basic poses that would help a runner's body!
