Jin Shin Jyutsu® is an ancient art of harmonizing energy flow in the body, bringing together Body, Mind and Spirit through the simple use of our hands. It brings balance to the body's life energy promoting optimal health and well-being and facilitating our own profound healing capacity. Jin Shin Jyutsu - the Getting to KNOW (Help) MYSELF - is a gentle art, practiced by placing the fingertips (over clothing) on designated safety energy locks, to harmonize and restore the energy flow.
This will be a day of fun and relaxation using Mary Burmeister's Self-Help Book 1 -Introducing JIN SHIN JYUTSU IS. to gain knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu. This self-help class will introduce the history, philosophy, principles, and art of Jin Shin Jyutsu; the gentle use of hands to practice on yourself; and specific routines to balance & restore energy. We will learn to BE.
Jack Rost has been studying "body work" for over 25 years. Jack was first introduced to Jin Shin Jyutsu in 1984 through a Self-Help book that was given to him. He used this simple study many times over the next 15 years . In 1999 he began studying and working under the guidance of Matthias Roth, one of the world's prominent instructors of this Art. For several years, he traveled with Matthias throughout the United States providing treatments during Matthias' seminars.
Jack continues his private practices in New York City and Chicago where he is a practitioner of this ancient Art, providing individual sessions as well as private consultations and classes. He remains a student of Jin Shin Jyutsu® where he continues to learn to BE.
with Mel Thomas Saturday, May 7th, 2005 10 AM to 5 PM Teenagers $70 with the book included and $50 if no book is required. Also, please bring food to share for a buffet style meal as there are no restaurants nearby to eat at when we break for lunch. About Mel Thomas My college education molded me as a scientist with things as my subjects. Working at medical and human research laboratories, and as a teacher, shifted my focus to people. Eventually I became a metascientist and life became my focus, with reality my laboratory. That path led to this book. Along the way I changed jobs and even careers when what I was doing was no longer of interest or the industry changed adversely. I grasped it, then moved on, stepping-stones in the process of education; the process never ends. It is my understanding now that my diverse career has been essential preparation for writing this book, and possibly others beyond it. For more Info
The MASTERY of LEARNING SEMINAR
$95 if you require a book or $75 if you already own one.
WHAT WILL BE COVERED: Brain Gym© exercises will be practiced at the beginning of each session. The seminar begins with an overview of the seemingly extraordinary skills children are typically born with. You will make a new contract with yourself in order to reawaken this potential. Next we will holistically explore what your mind/brain/body and visual capabilities are and how to determine your own personal learning style. Along the way we will examine how the unlimited potential you were as a child ended up being restricted and how to remove these limitations for yourself and your children. Once this groundwork has been established we start working on the techniques to help you reawaken perfect memory and recall at minimum reading rates of 25,000 words-per-minute or the page of a book in one second.
The Mastery of Learning book will be an important reference during the seminar. The CD packaged with the book contains the essential exercises that we will use during the seminar and that you may use afterwards for reacquiring the skills you once naturally had as a child.
MATERIALS REQUIRED: If you already own one, please bring your copy of The Mastery of Learning plus any note-taking materials you feel the need for, a dictionary or thesaurus, and an open mind.
It is best if young teenagers are accompanied by an adult.
The book with the CD will also be available at the seminar for the reduced price of $25.
Please bring a dictionary for each person in your party as it will be used for one of the exercises.

Access is a constantly-changing, everevolving method for altering the parts of your life that don't show up the way you know they should or could. Access is NOT for the feeble-minded or the faint of heart. If you have the courage and desire to be truly you -the extraordinary you -then maybe Access is for you. Come play with us in the Access classes and clearing nights. Find out just how quickly and easily you can alter and transform the life you have Into the one you want. And if you're ready, it can happen very QUICKLY. What can you expect from experiencing Access? Essentially the result IS up to YOU. YOU create the mess you call your life, and ONLY YOU can uncreate it. Access assists you in achieving your target -whatever it maybe. All Of Life Comes To me With ease Joy and Glory.

THE SWEET TRUTH
Living Sugar- and Wheat-Free
with author Kelly E. Keough
Saturday, May 21, 10:00am ? 1:00pm $55
Come and join Kelly, healthy cooking expert, for this educational and inspirational workshop. Great for people who desire to reduce sugar in their daily diet, people with diabetes II, people who are gluten or wheat intolerant, and especially for folks who are looking to loose weight without giving up dessert? So, "Let them eat cake!"
Workshop Highlights:
Anti-aging cooking and the healing properties of food
90 second gourmet truffles
ideas for expanding grocery lists and where to purchase
how to bake with Stevia, quinoa, and buckwheat
what fruits and root veggies satisfy the sweet tooth
how to lose weight and still eat sweets by keeping
the affects of sugar and how to combat inflammation with food
a Sweet Truth dessert taste test.
Do you know your culinary destiny? Ask Kelly E. Keough the goddess of inner and outer beauty, author and educator of the SWEET TRUTH. She will tell you that you are what you eat goes far beyond just fat, it goes right to your DNA. Kelly is just off NBC's hit reality TV show, STARTING OVER, to air in March '05 where she demonstrates her expert advice to the girls in the Los Angeles house on sweet, healthy cooking and anti-cancer awareness. As a sugar-free chef, her Sweet Truth desserts are love at first lick.
Also in April, Kelly?s unique style of "macro-fusion" cooking will be highlighted at the premiere Beverly Hills cooking school, Chefs Inc. where she will teach how to use stevia, quinoa, and low-glycemic fruits as sweeteners. For the ladies who lunch, she?ll whip up wholesome treats that?ll satisfy everyone?s sweet tooth ? without guilt!
As the cooking consultant at the highly credible Erewhon Natural Foods Market in LA, she demonstrates how to make a cancer fighting gourmet truffle in 90 seconds. Her mantra, "If you want to wear a bikini -- eat my tahini!" has attracted an eclectic following to her weekly cooking classes -- Hollywood starlets, busy execs, mom's looking for the ultimate healthy sweet snack for the kids -- and everyone else who wants to know how to have their cake and eat it, too.
In addition to personal appearances and radio interviews on KIIS FM'S LA SPEAKS OUT and STAR 98.7's LA INSIGHT, Keough has also written a cookbook, "The Sweet Truth," which is available in bookstores and markets. As the self-proclaimed "Queen of Quinoa", Kelly plans to debut more of her signature recipes on NBC's "Starting Over" this spring as a regular cooking coach on the show.
That Kelly would find her calling in the land of milk and honey (or almond milk and stevia) is no surprise. She comes from a 50 year old famous Sicilian catering business family in New York. In other words? she's a girl who knows great food, great taste, and how to combine both for optimum health. It's an education in a meal that is as much fun to learn as it is to eat!

?Bruno Groning was born in 1906 to a working class family in Europe. Since a small boy he would heal people and animals who were sick. WWII, he spent in a concentration camp. In 1949 he became a public figure from healing a young boy all the Doctors had given up on. World wide attention grew from mass healings near Munich. He was then banned from public healings. January 1959 he left his body with the commitment:? "When someone calls me I will come and continue to offer help" "When the time is right every body will be able to obtain help and healing from within". Today the Bruno group ('the circle of friends' ) continues his technique, meeting for practice once every 3 weeks. World wide groups continue to document healings from 'long standing addiction to drugs to sciatica, angina pectoris, non-healing wounds, ulcers, broken shoulders...' www.bruno-groening.de .Spiritual Healing and belief in God go together.
