– Journal 3 things you’re ready to release and 3 things you’re calling in
– Take a salt bath or foot soak to ground
– Place a crystal (like Moss Agate, Jade, or Amazonite) on your altar

Meditation Classes, Workshops, Holistic Healing Services, Ayurvedic Care, Crystals & Minerals, and More.
My name is Alyssa Gutierrez, I am the owner of Mindful Methods LLC in Clear Lake Iowa. I am a Reiki Master & Teacher, As well as Master Practitioner & Teacher in Aahli healing. I am also an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Master Meditation Teacher in the Buddhist ways of Meditation, Mindfulness, and Vipassana. I have a passion for teaching and offering these services to others.
I have been teaching meditation for over 8 years, both locally and internationally. I received training as a Meditation Teacher formally in various parts of India, but also learned unique training methods in other parts of South America and Asia. Meditation is more than a practice for me. I truly view it as a art of wellness for the mind, body and spirit, that can benefit all.
Apart from being a Meditation Teacher, I also am a Reiki Master Practitioner & Teacher, with two Master certifications in both Usui and Karuna Reiki. I received formal training as a Karuna Master Practitioner & Teacher internationally, and hold many years of practice. I believe that Reiki is a beautiful holistic form of energy healing that benefits the well-being of the mind and body.
As being the only Master Practitioner & Teacher of Aahli healing in the state of Iowa, I feel so very honored to offer this service to others. Aahli healing is a Grecian form of energy healing, similar to Reiki, however different. Aahli healing is a unique form of intuitive energy healing that provides individuals who receive it with clarity of the mind, body, emotional self, and energetic self. The vibration of Aahli provides a truly beautiful “healing” experience to all in whom receive it.
I first heard of Ayurveda from a herbalist here in the states. She too was an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and had prepared an Ayurvedic blend for me for troubles I was having with sleep. Long-story made short, I was amazed by the improvement, this is when my passion for Ayurveda was sparked. This form of holistic medicine was taught to me in its homeland of India. I studied under a 11th generation Ayurvedic doctor during my time in Jaipur India, and than received formal training during various courses I took during the combined time of 21 months that I spent between New Delhi & Mumbai India. Ayurveda as a complement to my services has aided the many clients and students I have, so much. I am excited to be offering Ayurvedic counseling & services in our area!
I also offer various classes and workshops on mindful methods, topics on holistic health & healing, a variety of classes on crystals, minerals, smudging and other like topics.
I feel so very grateful to be back in the states teaching again, and am eager to see where this journey takes me in Clear lake Iowa!
Thank you for your interest in Mindful Methods, blessings with all!
