Candle Therapy

with Elena Bussolino

Seven Weeks Beginning Friday, September 5th

7:30pm-9:00pm, $15 per class

 

Candle therapy is a merging of meditation and magic to bring about positive changes. The goal of this class is to offer a guideline, learn step by step techniques and ancient symbols that will enable you to reach your goals, providing additional tools and methods to progressively heal relationships and promote personal growth.

 

Why candles?

The roots of our spirituality come from the awareness of, and communication with, someone or something more powerful than us. The oldest way to reach the gods has been to use fire and scent. Flame, smoke and perfume have form, but are also in part invisible. Smoke and scent waft into the air carrying our prayer, then they disappear as if they were slipping through a door into the heavens.

The physical act of carving, transfers your energy and links you to the work. You can see, feel and manipulate the candle’s form. Your prayers are being injected in the wax as you carve. During the burning of your candle, energy is again transferred and transmuted, your prayer sent to the spiritual realm.

Since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, you are changing the energy into concrete results into the earthly plane. Thought – word – action – manifestation.

Candles are a personal tool for changing your life.

 

We will be learning many symbols used since ancient time for matters of love, personal growth and healing, success and creativity, protection.

 

The suggested text book for this class is “Candle therapy: a magical guide to ethical life enhancement” by C.F. Riggs- Bergsen Psy.D.

Come join us for our spiritual development class that is dedicated to providing teachings for anyone ready to self discover the process of growing mind, body, and spirit.  Our purpose is to provide and teach the methods of balancing energy at the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and intuitive levels. This experience guides each person to more profoundly explore their own journey of wisdom, love and harmony and thereby increase their intuitive abilities through removing the emotional blocks that stop us from reaching our full potential.

Our organization Ki Empowerment offers three levels  of participation:

One on one interaction through private sessions for the purpose of balancing energy and harmonizing mind, body & spirit and receiving intuitive guidance for your life.

Through classes that allow expansion of horizons and increases wisdom at many levels

Training in order to become a future facilitator of this wisdom and prepare for instructor opportunities.

Jeremy McDonald and Sherry Wright present important holistic concepts that help us realize we are more than our thoughts and emotions.  We introduce new concepts and perceptions about the relationships we have with ourselves and others. Additionally we provide insights on how we grow mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and intuitively.

An Introduction to

The Work of Byron Katie

Presented by Liliana Delgado

Fourth Tuesday of the Month, 7:00pm

Love Donation

 “The Work is simply four questions that when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says,” it’s not the problem that causes our suffering: it’s our thinking about the problem.” Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us.

At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is.

“The world is a dangerous place.”                               

“I need more money.”                                           

“I’m too fat"

 Thoughts like these may run through our minds many times a day, fostering fear, anger, stress, and depression. How different would your life be if these thoughts never bothered you again? The Work of Byron Katie is a process that clears the mind. It is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is simply four questions and a turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. It is so simple that anyone with an open mind can do it. This process works. It is radical, and life-changing. Come experience the power of The Work.

 “Who would you be without your story?”  –  Byron Katie

“Her method can cut through years of self-delusions and rationalizations." -Los Angeles Times

 “In Loving What Is, you have the key. Now use it.”

-         Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now

A Course In Miracles

The basic decision of the miracle-minded is not to wait on time any longer than is necessary.

The miracle worker, therefore, accepts the time-control factor gladly.

He recognizes that every collapse of time brings everyone closer to the ultimate release from time,
in which the Son and the Father are one.

"I need do nothing" is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty.
The quiet way is open, follow it gladly and question not what must be so.

A meeting in peace where all is welcome.
Wednesdays at 3:00

2nd Tuesday of the Month, 7:00pm

Meditation

Wednesdays, 6-6:30pm

Love Donation

Meditation means: bliss in being alone....One is really alive when one has become capable of it, when there is no dependence anymore on anybody, on any situation, on any condition.  And because it is one's own it can remain morning, evening, day, night, in youth or old age, in health, in illness.  In life, in death too, it can remain because it is not something that is happening to you from the outside.  It is something welling up in you.  It is your very nature..it is self nature. - Osho, "Meditation"
