Breathing Meditation & Prayer Circle offered monthly

I am offering a monthly Breathing Meditation & Prayer Circle special event on three Saturdays -- October 26, November 23, and December 21 -- from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Space is limited so please let me know if you are coming.

Breathing Meditation & Prayer Circle: Participants will learn a breathing technique called 9-Breath Method. This is an intense breathing meditation. Pregnant women, people with seizure disorders, and people with heart disorders may not practice 9-Breath Method.  Anyone in these categories may still come and join in the prayer circle without doing the 9-Breath Method.

First-time participants must come at 7:00 p.m. to learn 9-Breath Method and pay $20.  Participants who have already learned 9-Breath Method may come at 7:00 p.m. for a refresher course, or arrive by 8:00 p.m. to join in the Prayer Circle free of charge. 

Please invite your friends and share this information with others who may be interested and who will benefit from these opportunities for healing and health and wellness.

To sign up for a space in one of these monthly events or to receive occasional reminders of Melanie's classes, workshops and special events, please send an email to LifeEmpowermentQigong@gmail.com. 

Private one-on-one appointments with Melanie

I am scheduling private one-on-one appointments tailored to meet individual needs. I am offering the following menu of healing and wellness services for $40 per hour: 

Reiki: Reiki is similar to massage. It is a way of energy healing. As the practitioner, I lay my hands gently on the body or just above the body. Energy projects through my hands into the person receiving the treatment. It is incredibly healing and relaxing. 

Qigong: Qigong (chee-gong) is similar to yoga and tai chi. It is an exercise form that uses slow, graceful movements; deep abdominal breathing; and meditation to build energy in the body and to heal the body. 

Yoga: Yoga is an exercise form and practice that combines moving from one pose to another flowing with the breath. The poses constitute stretches and movements that build energy, strength, and endurance in the body and mind. 

Breathing Meditation: I offer a variety of breathing meditations and techniques that quiet the mind, relax the body and increase circulation flow of oxygenated blood through the body. The breath is where it is at!  It is THE VITAL LIFE FORCE. Without it... well, there is no life. BE ALIVE. BREATHE! 

Please invite your friends and share this information with others who may be interested and who will benefit from these opportunities for healing and health and wellness.

Tuesday Qigong class begins October 18th

Lots of exciting things have been happening. I work part-time at the Sunspot Natural Market. I've been teaching through Purdue Recreation Sports Center. Over the summer, I became certified to teach Yoga. I also became attuned in Reiki 1. It's time to begin a Qigong Class that is open to the public!

Mark your calendars and let me know if you will attend this 6-week progression of Qigong classes from 6:15 - 7:15 p.m. in Pao Hall Room 1197, located at 552 W. Wood St., on Purdue's campus.
