Mini Meditation to round out the day My Qualifications: I am a certified Sound Massage Practitioner and current student of the widely recognized Peter Hess Institute for Sound Massage Therapy, in Germany. In addition, I am also a certified coach, MBTI administrator, and certified hypnotist. I also hold an MA and MPA, as well as post-graduate studies toward a Ph.D. in the Social Sciences. Over the past 35 years I have studied and tried a number of holistic modalities ÂÂ- ranging from chi gong to Reiki. However, after developing severe fibromyalgia, modalities that had work in the past just did not work. I had trouble meditating, practicing chi gong etc. ÂÂ- I just could not get into the relaxed state that was necessary for my body to re-generate itself. In a last attempt, I traveled to Germany, where I was introduced to the Sound Massage Therapy according to Peter Hess. I was so impressed by how effective the bowls were not only for my fibromyalgia symptoms, but also the range of problems the bowls could be used for, and enrolled in the institute to study the modalities. Cost is $75 for the 4 hour workshop. Class is given by Margit Willems. Dress comfortably to meditate. Participants may bring pillows and/or blankets in order to get comfortable on the floor.
