“The Breath is the gateway between the visible and invisible world." -Babaji

With all that is going on in the world today, it can be hard to stay out of
fear and remain free of stress. In these times, we can find ourselves
anxious, our heart rate increases, and we hold our breath frequently. All of
these are signs of stress. When we hold our breath, we are doing a lot more
to our body, mind and spirit than we realize.  Holding our breath
exacerbates the problem and keeps us from feeling clear and peaceful. More
than ever, we must renew our spiritual practices and connect to the Source
of all that is. No matter what our spiritual practice is, it is enhanced by
conscious breathing. Come find out how you may reconnect to a lasting sense
of peace. 	

Unlock the healing potential of your own breath, and use it to transform
into a more balanced and vital version of yourself... with Transformational
Breath!

Saturday, November 15: 
10:30 AM-1:00 PM: Introductory Workshop
11:15-1:00 PM: Experienced Breathers join in
Experienced breathers are those who have completed three intro breathing
sessions and do not need the introductory instruction.

The breath is the wellspring of life. How we breathe tells the story of how
we live. A shallow breath reveals a life of stress, fear and limitations
while a full breath represents a life of health, abundance, joy, and
connection to spirit. In one session you can find peace again, feel relaxed
and learn tools to help keep it that way. Join us to restore peace once
again. You deserve it. Call now to reserve your space. For information,
details, and registration, call 734.416.5200 

Experience the profound alignment and lasting wellbeing that comes from
practicing simple yet very precise breathing techniques. 

...and the FINAL workshop 
of the year:

Saturday, December 6: 
10:30 AM-1:00 PM
Introduction to Transformational Breath
11:15-1:00 PM
Experienced Breather's Tune-Up 

A recent participant at a Transformational Breathing Introductory Workshop
had this to say,” Transformational Breathing is the best thing I ever did
for myself.” 

Pre-register early

 <http://www.thegreenbough.com/meditation.htm#OnenessDeeksha>  Sunday,
November 23,  3:00-5:00 PM

Oneness  <http://www.thegreenbough.com/meditation.htm#OnenessDeeksha>
Blessing: Deeksha Gathering!

Join the Oneness Blessing facilitators, Mohana, A.T., Alane, and Nicholas,
as they help you access deep states of consciousness through the Oneness
Blessing (Deeksha). 

The Oneness Blessing process works by creating a neurobiological shift in
the brain and awakening the energy centers (Chakras) in the body. Once
initiated, it is a gradual Awakening process that leads you naturally to a
lasting state of Oneness, inner peace, wellbeing and connection with your
Higher Self. The process helps to set right relationships within yourself
and with others. 

NOTE final Deeksha date for 2008: SATURDAY DEC 13, 3-5PM.

OPEN TO ALL.  Suggested Contribution: $30 / $20 Students with valid ID
