Invitation from Marcia for Return to Joy

What the heck happened??

Seeing that we are part of All That Is, this Infinite Universe, among trillions of stars, endless galaxies, why do we feel such anxiety, depression, and endless fear in so many different areas of our lives?

If you are asking these questions, then you are asking the perfect questions to create an opening to your return to self, your return to Joy, your return to the truth of who you are. 

We ARE, magnificent and powerful beyond imagination, after all we are all children of the Divine!
We are blessed beyond imagination as well, created perfectly and in the image of All That IS…………as above, so below.

We ARE Spiritual Beings having a human experience.

When we experience fear and self- limiting beliefs about ourselves it does not feel good, nor should it, because it is not the truth.  When we experience and express unbridled love, appreciation, and gratitude, we know expansion and infinite possibility, and that does feel good! We feel joy because we are in alignment with our true nature and that IS the truth.

The Monday evening group, Returning to Joy, provides an opportunity for those who believe there has to be a better way and that life is supposed to be a gift and not an endless struggle.

This group is NOT a therapy group, it is an educational opportunity to learn about who we are, how we are created and what actually resides within our own God-given physiology that when correctly activated, returns us to our true nature, a state of Joy and well-being.

The time of struggle is over!  We have much to accomplish and in a state of Joy and in partnership with the Divine — infinite possibilities await us.

Joy IS our nature… join us in re-membering who we Are,

Peace and Grace and Ease to you and yours,
Marcia

Hypnosis: Cheryl 

In hypnosis, as your mind relaxes, you are responsive to positive and beneficial messages that can be accepted by the subconscious mind, replacing negative messages stored there.  Hypnosis is a scientifically verified and effective technique that can promote accelerated human change.  With hypnosis, we can create desired changes in behavior and encourage mental and physical well-being.  Learn how to apply “the secret” or “the law of attraction” by discovering the power of your unconscious mind.  Hypnosis can help:

1. Weight Loss

2. Quit Smoking

3. Improve memory, concentration, and study habits

4. Sleep better and more !!!!

 

Past Life Regression:  Cheryl  

How a past life regression is conducted:  In a “hypnotic” state you are regressed to a lifetime that is most beneficial for you to explore. You are guided through the significant events of a lifetime, through the death experience, and then a “life review”.  This is where the purpose of that lifetime, the lessons learned, and decisions made are examined from a higher, spiritual perspective.  The focus is to look at what is most important about that prior life in terms of the client’s current personality and situation.  Reviewing the main events of a past life and reprocessing the impact helps you to bring closure to the events of that lifetime, which can help you to move more freely in this lifetime.

Rachelle’s reflexology blends unique skills she has incorporated from several modalities.  Reflexology activates the inherent healing powers of the body and promotes overall health.  She applies various touch techniques to areas on your hands, feet, and ears that correspond to organs and systems in the body. The treatment promotes a deep sense of relaxation and supports the natural healing properties of the body.

Rachelle’s treatment incorporates a color reading using aurosoma which allows her to get a feel for what’s going on with the client.  She will often walk her clients through a chakra clearing meditation to clear their mind and focus them fully on healing and relaxation while working both the hands and the feet.  She also often incorporates a spa treatment with hot towels with lime essential oil herbal lotion.

A 90 minute session would also incorporate craniosacral therapy, Reiki, or IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) depending on what the client’s body asks for.  As she continues to work with clients in additional sessions, she adds in other modalities such as checking chakras using a pendulum, adding powerful crystals to help release energy blockages, and aura cleansing.

The Perfect Gift for a Grieving Child or Adult

For the child (or even adult) who is grieving, we recommend a combination of the book Waterbugs and Dragonflies: Explaining Death to Young Children with the gift of a dragonfly in some form.  The book is a beautifully illustrated story about waterbugs who are fearful about why sometimes one of their kind disappears up out of the water and never returns.  Then we follow the course of one who does leave the water and transforms into a dragonfly soaring through the air, awed by the beauty and breadth of the new world around him.  It is a story that brings comfort to many, as we below often fear what’s on the other side, and it comforts us to imagine our loved ones now exploring an even more beautiful place. 

Paired with a concrete representation of a dragonfly to hold dear – a dragonfly token to hold in their pocket, or a dragonfly necklace or bracelet or magnet or mug (all available at Uplifting Connections, of course!), this book will offer the reassurance that their loved one is okay.
