Dear Community,

SPRING BLESSINGS! 

This time of year is one of hope, new growth and promise of the future. It is sooooooooooooo inspiring to check my garden each day and see new green shoots sprouting up. Each sprout is such a miracle of new life after a long, cold winter. Nature is such a profound and beautiful mystery! Mother Earth continues to gift us with such abundance and blessings....which gives us all hope. My daughters and I continue our annual ritual of climbing a local mountain to watch the Easter Sunrise.

TWO NEW BODY PRAYER VIDEOS 

I am DELIGHTED to gift you a FREE OFFERING of two new videos which you can link to see on my website! Last month, Katie Gerhard, HTCP and videographer, worked with me to create two YouTube videos of me teaching the basics of BODY PRAYER (Eurythmy) as a form of spiritual self care. This practice also has benefits for your etheric (life body) and emotional/mental life. Body prayer has been a part of my daily spiritual practice each morning. I have taught it to a few Healing Touch audiences with enthusiastic response. Prayer eurythmy is similar to Healing Touch in that we are aligning our soul abilities of thinking, feeling and willing (action) so that our hara is aligned with our birth intention of LOVE.

After having taught body prayer/eurythmy at the HT Shadowcliff Retreat last June 2012, I was asked to create a video. Now that it is complete, I chose to make this a free offering to you because I wanted as many interested people as possible to experience how they resonate with this form of prayer and self care. Another inspiration was creating this video to support the people attending the Healing Touch California Symposium (April 20-21, 2013) where I offer a keynote presentation on Body Prayer and the Hara Alignment. These videos serve to provide support for those interested in deepening their understanding and practice of body prayer.

If you choose to view these short films, I would love to hear some feedback from you. Would you please share a few minutes of your time to write to me with your responses? It would mean a lot to me since this is a fairly new endeavor on my part and your feedback will guide me as to how I continue to carry it forward. The Teaching video is a 25-minute presentation and demo; the practice video is ten minutes of just the prayers. The practice video can be muted for silent practice so you can use your own words; or, you can leave on the sound with my voice saying the prayers.
