The Idea of the Week
When we are looking for ways to reduce stress, deepen your spiritual practice or just find time to connect to ourself, we have options! Our goal today is to introduce options and emphasize the importance of finding a meditation practice that is something you want to come back to. Here are just 9 Types of Meditation to get us started!
Practice of the Week
We also want to hightlight the word, PRACTICE. This means we can drop all our expectations of having it down pat when we just start or even 3 years in! Meditation is not about perfection. There is always more to discover. Our only job is to just show up for ourselves. And then……. just keep showing up 🙂
We wanted to make sure that no matter where you are at in your practice, we could offer you something to new to try. In the attached article, you will find links to different meditation podcasts from beginners, to kids, to sleep and more!

Integrating Earth-Based Practices with IFS.
In-person event in Erieville, NY $180 per person with lunch included.
LIGHT ALWAYS FINDS THE WAY
For thousands of years, cultures across the world have utilized earth-based practices for healing. These rituals have a deep connection with the earth and are guided by powerful forces. These practices utilize the healing attributes of the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. This May, explore and practice how to weave these ancient practices with Internal Family Systems. In this immersive day, you will learn and experience how to utilize these practices to heal depression, trauma, anxiety, and everyday disease. Through lectures, discussions, and exercises, you will learn:
- The basics of Internal Family Systems
- The properties of earth, water, fire, and air and how they can be used for healing
- How to connect with your personal guides, helpers, angels, and/or power animals
- Become aware of Legacy Burdens (also known as trans-generational transmission of trauma) and how those inform your beliefs and decisions
- Release any negativity that you carry.
Whether you are a clinician, coach, or simply someone seeking tools for a happier and freer way of being in the world, take home several practices and tools for embodying a new way of living.
