During the month of July we will look at the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of relationship: how we interact and exchange energies with others. We will explore how we can grow in wisdom to more easily, lovingly and productively interact with others.
A delightful group of people this week. We performed experiential exercises to increase our awareness and ability to send, receive and discern energies.
The first exercise involves holding the tips of your thumb, middle and index fingers together. Hold the grouped fingers on your left hand about a quarter inch from the grouped fingers of your right hand, pointing toward each other. Can you see the energy flowing between the two hands? Move them slightly further apart or slightly from side to side. To many the energy looks like a faint rubber band, stretching and moving as you move your fingers.
Our second exercise is performed with two people. Stand slightly apart. Decide who will be the sender and who the receiver. The sender chooses an energy. I recommend starting with the elements: fire, air, earth or water. The sender holds their hand up, palm facing the receiving hand of the receiver. Most people use their dominant hand to send and their secondary hand to receive. The sender chooses an energy and pictures sending that energy to the receiving hand of the receiver. Both sender and receiver notice the sensations as they try to send and receive. Can you turn up the volume?
I recommend that you start by announcing your choice, but you can then progress to seeing if the receiver can determine what is being sent.
Wednesday we welcomed two new friends and explored how we manage the energies of spaces such as our home, our work space, our car, meeting rooms and the like and how we protect and manage our energies out in the world in public spaces.
This week we explored gemstones and crystals and their properties and use in managing our energies.
During June we will continue our exploration of tools and techniques for managing the subtle energies of ourselves and our lives.

How do we cleanse and clear our energies. How do we exclude negative energy. How do we raise our energies and pull into ourselves and our lives the energies we desire.
We are exploring how we manifest what we desire in our life. We will look at the energies we create and move in our lives. We will apply meditation, affirmation, prayer and other tools. 7:30 Wednesdays after Inner Yoga at 7:00.
Continuing our Return to Wholeness theme, Charles Conatser will speak on Soul Retrieval. 7:30, after Inner Yoga at 7 pm.
Charley has been a shamanic practitioner and teacher of complementary methods of healing, including extraction, power and soul retrieval, and psychopomp. Starting in 1989 he has had extensive training through The Foundation for Shamanic Studies with its founder/director Michael Harner and others, as well as with a number of shamans from several countries.
Charley is also a master drum maker, ceramist, and intermedia artist/sculptor. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics/Physics from the University of Illinois.
Events, crises and even relationships had impacted us and left their marks and scars. How we heal our emotional and spiritual wounds and incorporate their attendant lessons determines if we emerge diminished or if we grow. During December we will examine the process of healing and the return to wholeness and beyond.
