Mindful Movement Monday's. Therapeutic- online only
4-Monday’s - February 7, 14, 21 & 28th
6-7:15pm, Cost $80
Our yoga practice elicits so many responses in our bodies as well as our minds ....When we practice asana, every time we open our tissue spaces, we have the opportunity to shift our perception, slow down and be present. Cultivating the ability to move freely through life.
Like the very breath we breathe, each day includes filling and emptying, expansion and contraction, drawing in and letting go. Accepting what is continues to be a most essential practice, yet always a challenge. Can we be with what is happening as it unfolds, neither grasping nor rejecting? Can we let our experiences move through us like the exhale and relax deeply into the stillness of our being?
Please join me in this upcoming series to free up the space inside yourself.* Email paulaweithman@mac.com to register

Let’s move into the fall cultivating the soil of our hearts! Did you ever want to take a break from your life for a moment to just relax and notice what was happening for yourself? In this series, you will have the opportunity to be in a supportive environment to step back from the business of life and observe yourself, taking time for introspection. Allowing your thoughts/feelings to be witnessed and acknowledged without judgment.

Together we will explore the yoga sutras to gain insight about our habits and learn practices that develop self-understanding and acceptance. Clarity is gained to help shift defeating behaviors and self-awareness is cultivated. We wake up and find our center.

The sutras say, as we develop this practice, we open to the light of intelligence and a steadiness is established within. Create a place where you find stability, to be at home in your core or center.
This series will focus on a variety of yoga sutra threads or gems of wisdom that enable us to gain insight, group discussion, meditation, breathing practices and a restorative asana practice.
Areas that will be covered in this book study lecture series:
*develop self-observation skills to witness your behavior in how you relate to the world and to others
*noticing how you feel without identifying with the feeling which moves us toward healthier self-care skills
*meditations & mindfulness based techniques to increase self-understanding & acceptance

a thought: The inner nature of things is always emanating and when we relax our way into the world we relax our hearts open and receive it. Not only does it change the content of our minds, though that is significant by itself, but as water rushing through an inlet changes the shape of the inlet, letting what we hear enter us so completely changes the shape and threshold of our minds. Listening with this degree of openness can alter our experience of life. When we can relax our way in the world enough to truly receive, waiting is more than waiting and silence is more than silence.

8 Week Chakra Therapy with Paula Weithman, M.Ed, LPC, CIYT at the Dallas Yoga Center
Next held on Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
This enrollment runs from Wed Jan 24, 2018 - Wed Mar 14, 2018
Registration through the Dallas Yoga Center $ 140 ten days prior to event / $ 160 After

In this series we will have a chance to connect with each other in a supportive group, practicing chakra based mind/body techniques. We will be reading an excellent book written by Jacquelyn Small and practice some of Anodea Judith’s work, both teachers of Paula’s.

Through sharing in a group setting, lecture, book study and self-reflection we notice where the energy is held in our body when we are fearful jealous, insecure, sad, or anxious as emotion is held our connective tissue.

Observing our energetic charge we can shift cellular memories that are stuck, depleted or scattered. We are able to connect & experience being in our body in a new way. Witnessing our thoughts/feelings together and allowing them to be acknowledged without judgment, we release the tension of our holding patterns to relax into a deeper connection to ourselves. The sacred place that has been waiting to be touched by self-acceptance. A forgiveness that welcomes grace and the reawakening to sense our life force in a more connected way.

*Book study assignment & dialogue
*Exploring your body’s developmental & guarding patterns through the chakras system
*Self-awareness practices through buddy system & journaling *Meditations & bio-energetics techniques
*Increasing self-understanding & love
*Having fun together!

Join Paula and gain clarity and compassion for ourselves, and begin to open into a deeper more integrated place inside our hearts.

Continuing education hours possible for licensed professional counselors

This series is based on the work of Anodea Judith and Jacquelyn Small and their books are required reading for this series. Series fee does include the cost of Jacquelyn Smalls' publication.

Shenpa is the urge, the hook, that triggers our habitual tendency to close down. We get hooked in that moment of tightening when we reach for relief. To get unhooked we begin by recognizing that moment of unease and learn to relax in that moment.

A thought:
Each time we drop our masks and meet heart to heart......Each time we are able to remain open to suffering, despite our fear and defensiveness, we sense a love in us which becomes increasingly unconditional..................Awakening from our sense of separateness is what we are called to do in all things.
Ram Dass

This thought captures the journey of this series, please join me.
