News from In The Moment Center for Wellness

March holds the energy of the inner quiet of winter coming to an end and an inkling that there are new things waiting to be born. It is a wonderful time to begin the process of preparing the "ground".

We are offering several programs this month at In The Moment that will gently facilitate movement from the quiet hibernation of winter to the rising softness of spring birth.

I invite you to join us.

Sincerely,

A Day of Mindfulness

Sunday, March 20, 2011

We invite you to join us and take this opportunity to connect with all that you are. We are setting this day apart from everyday habits, stresses, and obligations.

Within our safe and nurturing environment, we will offer meditation sessions, contemplation exercises, yoga, sound therapy, mindful eating, quiet spaces and more! It will be a day of becoming more familiar with yourself and a day to connect with others.

The day will begin at 8:45 AM for registration and a continental breakfast and conclude at 3:00 PM. A nutritious lunch will also be served, so let us know of any dietary restrictions you may have.

Since it is a day of mindfulness, we will allow the day to gently unfold.

Fee: $75

Non-refundable deposit of $25 to hold your spot is required by 3/10/2011 (payable by cash, check or Visa/Mastercard)

Normal is Not Optimal

My wife, Pat, and I just hosted a booth at the Universal Light Expo in Columbus, OH. We met many people who came up to us and said they knew they are not breathing right. They knew it had some affect on their health and they wanted to know what they could do about it.

They were correct in that they are not breathing right. In fact, just about everyone reading this article is not breathing as well as they could. It is also true that this negatively affects your health. Approximately 95% of population is only getting about half the air their body is meant to get. But you don't have to be doctor to know that oxygen is our most important element for life. Your health and well-being is totally dependent on it. Since oxygen is critical to the body, the absence of oxygen can manifest as many negative conditions within the body. Lack of oxygen can:

Create harmful free radicals
Increase anaerobic infectious bacteria and parasite levels
Promote cancer
Negatively affect heart disease
Magnify respiratory illness
Decrease energy levels
Negatively impact sleep
Increase blood pressure
Elevate stress levels

Clearly there is a link between oxygen levels and well being.
