"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 impacting a lot
more on 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, December 6: 
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 no longer 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 for a FRESH start in the
New Year:

Sunday, January 11 
10:00 AM-12:30 PM
Intro to Transformational Breath
10:45 AM-12:30 PM
Experienced Breather's Tune-Up 


Sunday, February 8 
9:30 AM-12:00 Noon
Intro to Transformational Breath
10:15 AM-12:00 Noon
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."

A Monthly Favorite!  D E E K S H A A A H!


 <http://www.thegreenbough.com/meditation.htm#OnenessDeeksha>  Saturday,
December 13,  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. 

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

TIMEWAVE 2013 is now available on DVD!

  <http://www.thegreenbough.com/images/2013TWposter2-xsm.jpg> 


Moving beyond 2012 requires a fresh new perspective about our collective
consciousness and about our sense of place & time.

profoundly transformational period between now and 2012, and share their
visions of what it will take for humanity to thrive beyond. Much of the
movie was filmed in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in Peru, and contains a
rare Q'ero shaman ceremony. 



A 'mind-yoga' experience guaranteed to help us understand what is REALLY
going on and what we can do about it!

"Offering some incredible insights and practical suggestions for all who
love our planet. This is definitely an adventure into the nature of time
itself, with some of the world's foremost metaphysicians, sages and experts
