We are pleased to announce Dr. Kumar's new blog, Medicine On The Edge. This is an exciting new expansion of her community and patient outreach.  We invite all our friends and patients to become regular readers at this new venue -ommanivision.blogspot.com  

An important new book by New York Jungian analyst, Sherry Salman, addresses the question of the "empty center".  The center - psychologically and spiritually - has been the most important image since time immemorial. Historically we see the totem pole around which the village is built.  We see the Medieval European cities oriented around the cathedral.  Ask people today what is most important in their life and you will get an answer: relationship, family, immigration reform, the environment, etc.  Yet some of the same people will also tell you, if you press them, they have a gnawing sense that something is lacking.  Their "dream of totality", of wholeness, isn't quite complete.  Something is missing.

Shelley Carpenter, Physical Therapist, Registered Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master/Teacher will be offering Reiki healing sessions and Therapeutic Yoga sessions at the Ommani Center.

I am extremely grateful to be part of the team at the Ommani Center because I strongly believe in the type of healing on all levels that is facilitated here.   I love empowering individuals to live healthy, joyful, authentic lives.  As a practicing PT for over 20 years, I am passionate about integrative medicine.  Incorporating my PT knowledge with the profound healing energy and wisdom of Reiki and yoga, I have been blessed to assist many on their healing journeys. 

Reiki is a hands-on energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation.  It promotes the body's self-healing ability and provides a sense of peace and well-being in mind, body and spirit. Please see the Reiki page on the website for more information.

If you currently have, or are recovering from an injury, illness or chronic condition you may benefit from some individual  yoga instruction, including development of a home practice designed for your specific needs. 

I continue to offer ongoing group  yoga classes.  You are welcome to join any time.

The Ommani Center will be ready to begin accepting new Reiki appointments beginning October 25, with appointments being scheduled November 5 and thereafter. If have questions or would like to set up an appointment call The Ommani Center at 262.695.5311 or I'd be happy to talk with you. Please call Shelley at 414-217-4185 or email: Shelley@PureEnergyYoga.com.

In response to patient requests for education, personal growth and the opportunity to connect with like-minded people we are pleased to offer educational events hosted by our practitioners and doctors. The first event was held last night and led by David Johnson, our homeopath.  The enthusiastic group of attendees learned a lot about homeopathy and its home applications.
