iRest Meditation 6-Week Series with Mary Ellen Rose

I-REST Meditation is based on a 4000-year-old transformative process called "Yoga Nidra", loosely translated as "yogic sleep". This supine meditation is a deep relaxation for body and mind that helps you to work through self-limiting beliefs and patterns to produce a pure awareness of your own being.
By reducing stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions, I-REST invites you to find a true meaning of self and a sense of enlightenment. You will be lead through breath, body and energy awareness that will help to lift the stresses of your daily and lifelong existence.
This mediation is done lying down, supported by bolsters and blankets; please wear comfortable clothing.

This is offered as a 6 week series on Sunday afternoon 5:00-6:00 pm
Dates: June 14th, 21st, 28th

    Experience shamanic journey (guided imagery with a Native American perspective), Chinese gongs, and Tibetan bowls as the doorway into an experience of deepening your health. The music enables the brain to enter the theta state where all information and all possibility exist. Your body receives a sound massage for deep healing and relaxation. The journey takes you through all aspects of health-physical, mental (belief systems), emotional and spiritual. Combined with your personal intentions the music and journey balance and enhance your health and vibrancy.

    Jodi Roberts is a sound healing catalyst for transformation, ceremonial concert musician, and recording artist using the sound of Tibetan bowls, temple bells, and Chinese gongs to weave meditative, ceremonial experiences of peace, love, joy and Oneness. She has 20 years of experience and training in mindfulness and meditation techniques for stress reduction and creation of clear choices and actions. She is the first sound healing specialist for the Ft. Hood Army Warrior Combat Stress RESET Program in Killeen TX.

We are all artists, we are all leaders, we are all healers, we are all lovers, and we are all women birthing ourselves over and over again.
