Hi Everyone! 

I feel like I've hardly been in my shop the past month and I've really missed it. (Thank you Betsy and Stephanie for running the show!) We've had several weekend retreats -- which were so great -- and I had a bit of travel with still more coming up, so my time in the shop has been limited but precious.

It's a tricky thing finding balance between working in the store, teaching and consulting outside of the store, as well as having a few days off with my husband and

puppy (see left!). I know some of you have come by the shop hoping to catch me to talk Ayurveda, meditation or just to visit. I appreciate all the messages I receive! In the future I'm going to try and let you know via our Facebook Fan Page when I'll be in the store for sure.

I will most definitely be here this Sunday, April 10, for Dr. Steven Farmer, who is best known for his books Animal Spirit Guides and Power Animals. His new oracle cards  are the beautifully illustrated Earth Magic deck from Hay House.  I was lucky enough to have had a reading with him a few years ago and he blew me away. It was so right on -- it still resonatesSteven Farmer 2 today.  Steven is a healer with an extensive background in psychotherapy and shamanism combined with modalities such as EFT,  EMDR and hypnotherapy, which creates the ability to heal in one session what might take someone 10-15 sessions in traditional therapy. Steven does have a few individual sessions still available on Sunday, April 10. You can see details below on his free talk Sunday at 11 and his workshop on Monday evening.

Animal Reiki at breathe! On Friday, April 8th, Kathleen Lester begins seeing animals here for private Reiki sessions. Kathleen is an incredibly talented healer and Kathleen Lester Animal Reikiwe are thrilled that she has chosen breathe books as the place to do her work. Kathleen will be here two Fridays a month. Please give us a call to schedule a session. See more here.

Best-selling author Deborah King returns to breathe Deborah Kingbooks on Tuesday, April 19 at 7 p.m. Her new book, Be Your Own Shaman, gives you all the the tools you need to heal and excel! Deborah is a fabulous speaker and effective teacher and healer. Please come see her at this free talk!


And what are you doing on November 3? You could be traveling to India! So far 10 people have already signed Allepy houseboartup for this fabulous "breathe deep" trip  to the south of India. You can see all the details here. Give me a call for more information. The trip is limited to 20 people. You can reach me at 410-235-7323.

I hope to see you soon. I'll be in for sure for Dr. Farmer's events on Sunday and Monday, and running the shop on Wednesday before I go away to an Ayurvedic conference in New Jersey!

Be well and enjoy all!

Love,

susan

Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old system of health and healing from India, offers us deep wisdom on every aspect of living, including relationships. Once we understand our Dosha -- our mind/body constitution -- we can begin to understand others and how to best relate to them. The Doshas consist of Vata (air and space); Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water). How does firey-type mix with an easy-going Earthy type? Can two ethereal types get grounded enough to make things happen? Can two fire people live together with out competition?
