A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle  book discussion

With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.

Work through the book in 10 weeks.  (will not have meeting on 1/17/12)
Read chapter prior to session.

Byron Katie facilitation with Kristen Panek
Autumn is already here.  It's a time of transition - leaves turning beautiful shades of gold and red before dropping to the ground.  This is a great time withdraw our life force from those limiting beliefs and thoughts that are stuck to us.  We'll do The Work and watch them fall to the ground.

This event is open to everyone - whether you have experience with Byron Katie or not.  Bring a pen and your stressful thoughts.  A donation is requested.

See you in November!

Blessings,
Kristin

What is Dhyana Vibrations?

Dhyana Vibrations is a unique opportunity to rejuvenate mind, body, and essence on a whole new level...
Dhyana Vibrations begins as Kiran Gojnur guides the practitioner through a path to their core.  Every session is unique and different.  Using various mantras, breathing techniques (pranayam), and hand gestures (mudras) will help facilitate the practitioner to reach their true essence.

Included in Dhyana Vibrations is the playing of the gong by Andre Peraza.  The gong creates a hypnotic pulsing sound which can produce deep relaxation, healing, and a state of meditation.  The gong works on all levels to heal and transform, from the purely physical, to the emotional spiritual.  The sound of the gong will promote a positive change in the listener.

Following the session time will be allotted for questions and answers.  Chairs are available. however if you prefer to meditate on the floor please bring pillow or yoga mat if that is more comfortable for you.


$10 dakshina (offering) is suggested, however no one will be turned away for a lack of funds.

Chakra Meditation and informational class

Our bodies have sensitive areas that are filled with energy and are the focal points of emotions, feelings, intuition and insight. These energy points are called Chakras.  Each Chakra possesses its own characteristics and unique properties.  The chakras are part of the subtle body, meaning that they are not anatomical in nature. The Sanskrit word chakra comes from the word for wheel and the chakras are often thought of as spinning wheels of energy. But the chakras often get blocked and yoga is a way to clear them.


Join Kiran Gojnur as we ascend up the spinal column over the next weeks to learn more about  the chakras while becoming more aware and conscious of their functions, how they affect our reality and allow us to fully experience and realize events that unfold before us.

Muladhara Chakra (1st center) - beginning July 14th

Swadhisthana Chakra (2nd center)

Manipura Chakra (3rd center)

Anahata Chakra (4th center)

Vishuddha Chakra (5th center)
Anja Chakra (6th center)

The Happiness Project

The purpose of this project is to be a part of a study group used to  develop a system of acts to extend the periods of Natural Happiness, to improve the quality of life for the participants and to be used as a study for use by others.   The project will be facilitated by Tracee Keyes with James D. Baird, PhD, co-author of Happiness Genes.

We'll first meet on July 25th at 7:00 pm at The Peace Center to go over an introduction to the concepts found in the book.   Please reserve your seat as there will be a maximum number of approximately 10 attendees during this session.   The book is not mandatory, however committing to the project sessions will be.  We will have decided by the first meeting how many weeks we will meet - probably 8 weeks and asking you to make as many of those meetings as possible.  The book can be found on Amazon or in your RSVP you can let Tracee know you want her to get you the book for $12 cash.  I don't know about you, but I would love to be part of a project about happiness! 

About the book:
"Happiness Genes is...like reading an instruction manual that tells you how to reprogram your genes for happy life. It's time for new thinking. This book is your wake-up call." --Bruce Lipton, PhD, New York Times best-selling author of The Biology of Belief

"One of the most universal and enduring spiritual teachings is that happiness is inside, not outside, and that it is our birthright. Breakthroughs in the science of epigenetics affirms this wisdom. If you are seeking greater fulfillment and happiness in your life, do not deny yourself this important book." --Larry Dossey, MD, author of The Power of Premonitions and Healing Words
You have a Constitutional right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And every day thousands of advertising images seduce into believing that happiness can be bought. But put away your wallet away. Happiness is at your fingertips, or rather sitting in your DNA, right now! The new science of epigenetics reveals there are reserves of natural happiness within your DNA that can be controlled by you, by your emotions, beliefs and behavioral choices.

Happiness Genes: Unlock the Positive Potential Hidden in Your DNA examines the nature and source of happiness from ancient times to the present. It presents research in biology and epigenetics that show DNA contains genes for natural happiness and your ultimate well-being. Happiness Genes instructs you:

Happiness Genes proves a definitive link between science and spirituality. It shows how you are biologically wired for natural happiness.

What is Gong Meditation?

Gongs are played for relaxation, healing and rejuvenation. When we hear the gong for the first time, it challenges us to experience sound in a surprisingly unique way. It is unlike any other musical instrument, both in how it behaves and how it interacts with the listener. The gong can produce a hypnotic pulsing sound that can induce deep relaxation. Tension can be removed when a gong is played in a “build and release cycle“.

The sound of the gong itself is a powerful stimulant for the parasympathetic nervous system which becomes dominant during a deeply relaxed state. The gong works on all levels to heal and transform. From the purely physical, to the emotional and spiritual, the sound of the gong can promote a positive change in the listener. Yoga teachers, doctors, music therapists, psychotherapists, and researchers have used the gong as an adjunct to their healing modalities.

Join us on an opportunity to detox and rejuvenate your mind and body with a guided meditation by Kiran Gojnur followed by a gong mediation with Andre Peraza.   Love offering of $10, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Please bring pillow, blanket, or yoga mat for your own comfort.

Kickoff Meeting

100 Days begins May 1st

  100 Day Challenge - get together with friends for support and work on achieving those goals you've been wanting to do but somehow never get around to them.  Learn and practice achieving goals as a life skill.

Examples of goals worked on and achieved - pay off debt (varying amounts), run a 10K, eat no sweets, clean out basement, increase vendor leads by 20%, spend more time with my kids, drink no alcohol, clear clutter, and the list goes on and on.   You set your own goals and just work with the group to learn how to achieve them.  However, the goals do need to meet the SMART (Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, Time-Based). 

Cost is $25 - however, anytime during or at the end of the challenge you feel like you have truly received benefit - feel free to donate your perceived value over $25 to us! The Peace Center provides many programs at very low cost and free to the community.  Returning challengers who completed one 100 DC are exempt from the initial cost.

You can go to the website (www.ThePeaceCenter.com) and look under the 100 Day Challenge tab for more information on what the challenge has been like.

  Movie: The Tapping Solution - The revolution starts within

This feature-length film explores "Tapping", a new discovery that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology, with startling results.

The Tapping Solution explores Tapping in a way that's never been seen before.  The film combines the wisdom and experience of world famous teachers, speakers, and motivators, with an element that's usually missing:  REAL LIFE CASES, unfolding before your eyes.  Ten people spend four days working with Tapping practitioners to see if they can turn their lives around.  The results are fully documented and the ride is one you'll never forget.

We'll start the movie about 11:15 am.  Please RSVP so we know how many chairs to have available - need to get them the day before.  Thanks!

Wednesday Evening with Rebecca Hill - Intuitive - Healer - Personal Coach

October topic is "Lighten Up!"  It's time we all stepped into a 21st century of peace and solitude.  What is your hangup, fear, or loss - and more importantly, where is your joy, love, and peace?  Our Sixth Sense is absolutely vital to understanding who we are and what we are feeling.  Six Sensory living is so easy and "normal."  You get messages every day.  We'll talk about listening with your heart instead of your head.  "Hits," "hunches," "fuzzy guts" "I thought so" are all part of our master plan, but sometimes we just get in our own way.  Learn how to step into the spiritual heart instead of your head.  Learn how to step into the spiritual flow and tune in any time you choose.

$20 in advance (thru 10/12) or $25 in person.  We will meet the 2nd Wednesday every month.  Information about Rebecca can be found at www.RebeccaSmithHill.com.

How can we be both POWERFUL and feminine?

  Byron Katie's The Work facilitation by Kristen Panek
It's almost September already. The equinox is around the corner - a time for change. We are shifting from the part of the year that is about planting and harvesting and achieving to the part of year that is about receptivity and an inward focus.   
Use The Work to look inside and see what needs to be cleared.

Book Discussion - Unfinished Business - What The Dead Can Teach Us About Life by James Van Praagh

If you are interested, please use contact page or call Tracee. 

"...Use this book on how to live life more graciously.  Opportunity knocks every day; things can change, people can change, and you can change.  It's all about being responsible for your thoughts and actions.  Your thoughts have power.  The life you are living right now is the result of your thoughts...."

I can get the book from Amazon for less than $12 & ship it to you for free or you can set up a time to pick it up.   I heard James Van Praagh at Celebrate Your Life and thought he has a great talent.  He is a medium for those souls that have passed on.  He can talk to dead people, basically.  After doing past life regressions, this seems like a current way to get information from other spirits.  We all learn from one another, now you can take the opportunity to see what those  are saying who have recently passed over to the other side. 

Also, one beautiful soul will be joining us who Mr. Van Praagh unexpectedly read for her recently.  So if you're wondering if this is real, come and ask her for yourself!

 

Four 4 meetings:

 

7/31 - Emotional Baggage - Pages 1 to 62

8/7 - Do Unto Others - Pages 63 to 118

8/14 - I can See Clearly - Pages 119 to 174

8/21 - Your New Life - Pages 175 - end.

The book doesn't seem to build upon previous sections so if you miss one or two, you can still make the rest, as long as you've read what we'll be discussing that week.

Byron Katie's The Work facilitation by Kristen Panek

We have a very diverse, engaged, open and compassionate group. Gather up your stressful thoughts and bring them to our next meeting. Don't miss it!

I don't have enough time.
Is it true? Yes!
Can you absolutely know it's true? Well, I'm not sure how much is enough... No.

How do you react when you think that thought? I cancel any "fun" things on my calendar. My heart starts racing and I look around for something I can accomplish now to feel better.
