Meditation 
Meditation is usually recognized as a spiritual practice but it also has many health benefits.
Were you aware that people who meditate for a short time each day are much happier and live longer?
As a matter of fact, there have been numerous studies showing that meditation dramatically reduces, and even reverses disease of all types.
Did you know that experienced meditators have awakened many dormant abilities that they never knew they had, abilities that exist within every person?
They are much smarter. In fact, meditators brains have been proven to function at a superior level on every single test, measurement, and assessment that the scientific community has generated. It is easy to see why many of history's greatest inventors, philosophers, and scientists received their revolutionary, future-transforming ideas during their daily meditation sessions.
Were you aware that meditators produce immensely more euphoric brain chemicals?
These are the same chemicals that flow through your system on the days when you have never felt better, and these euphoric brain chemicals are produced constantly.
Did you know that they also sleep much better?
As a matter of fact, they need fewer hours of sleep every night because their minds and bodies are completely refreshed and rejuvenated during their highly pleasurable meditation sessions. Meditation is many times more powerful than sleep.
Also, meditators have far superior mental and emotional health. Meditation melts all the subconscious layers of anger, depression, anxiety, fear, phobias, and sadness built up over years and years leaving you in perfect mental and emotional balance. It is easy to see why they have more friends, healthier relationships, and feel a great deal more satisfied and content with their lives.
NOW is your chance to improve your health. Join me at our new monthly Meditation program.
The meditation class will be thought on the last Thursday evening of each month, starting January 28 at 7 PM.

Shamanic Journey Circles
Lyn Birmingham or Lynn Wolf will be teaching a two hour workshop: Shamanic Drumming.
Shamanism is about healing and connection to all things - nature, oneself,
each other and the Divine/Spirit. The shamanic journey occurs by shifting
awareness or consciousness for the purpose of gaining spiritual and healing
insight. This is achieved by listening to a drumbeat in a safe and sacred
space, surrounded by a supportive community and a responsible teacher and
practitioner. The drumbeat used is similar to that of the frequency measured
from the earth. Through it, and through shamanic practice, we are all one.
Bio Lyn Wolf:
Lynn Wolf, a member of the Spirit Moon Community, is a wellness educator.
She is trained in Usui Reiki, Core Shamanism, Aromatherapy and Herbal
Healing. Lynn has studied with shamanic teachers Kristin Madden and Lyn
Birmingham, and has completed the Foundation for Shamanic Studies "The Way
of the Shaman" class with Sandra Ingerman. She has studied with healing
practitioners and teachers Connie Henry ND, CPH, RN, and Digby Henry in New
Mexico, and Reiki Master Jennifer Walz, L.Ac. (Dallas, TX). Lynn is
passionate about helping others explore their options for healing body,
mind, heart and spirit.

Dowsing
Learning to dowse is like learning to play a musical instrument or learning to type, it requires carefully controlled instruction and practice.
Basic dowsing pendulum consists of a weight suspended on a flexible string, chain, etc. It could be made out of metal, wood, crystal or any material.
How does it work?
One theory is that our subconscious mind has access, either directly or through our higher self, to the information normally not available to our senses. Dowsing pendulum or divining rod in our hands acts like an indicator of the changes in the vibrational field of our environment.
In this two-hour workshop, you will learn, through the use of a pendulum, where your energy field is blocked and how to discover your own energy field as well as that of others. The more we understand about what is going on energetically, behind the scenes in life, the more we can take charge of the process. Dowsing can be a powerful tool to explore the world of subtle energies and to understand how we are intimately tied to these energies.

Children's Yoga, for children Age 5-8
Jenny has been a teacher all her life and has been practicing yoga for over 10 years. She is certified to teach Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga and children's yoga.
Our children live in a world of busy parents, school pressures, video games,
malls, and competitive sports. We usually don't think of these influences as
stressful for our kids, but often they are. Yoga can help counter these
pressures.
When children learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner
fulfillment, they can navigate life's challenges with a little more ease.
Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a
physical activity that is noncompetitive.
We used the yoga asanas, music, storytelling and drawing. Our time together
becomes a truly interdisciplinary approach to learning.
Benefits of Childrens Yoga:
- Builds their confidence and self-esteem.
- Improves their powers of concentration and focus.
- Develops their brain and intellect.
- Excellent for their bodies and health.
- Promotes balance, flexibility, coordination and strength.
- Helps them cope with stress and difficult emotions.
- Develops their creativity and imagination.
- Sharpens and expands their awareness.
- Helps them develop calmness.

Beginners Hatha Yoga
Begin or re-establish your yoga practice with our Yoga Basics, designed to give the beginner or returning student a solid foundation in basic poses, breathing techniques and philosophy.
Derived from our Foundations Series, Yoga Basics is the perfect place to begin - or to reawaken your interest and resume your practice! A short series of slower paced, informative classes will provide you with a strong foundation in the practice of Yoga, preparing you to proceed to other classes offered by Shambhala Wellness Center
Class may include discussion of the historical and philosophical background of Yoga, study and practice of the fundamental Yoga postures including correct body positioning and alignment for your body, and detailed instruction on how to combine breath and movement.
Call us today (940) 380-8728 or email Johanna at johanna@shambhalawellness.com. Workshop location: 215 East University Drive, Denton TX 76209.
Relax & Renew Restorative Yoga
We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely.
Restorative yoga, as well as other forms of yoga, help to trigger the Parasympathetic nervous system also known as the PNS. The PNS is responsible for balancing the body and bringing its response system back into equilibrium. Stimulating the PNS helps to lower heart rate, blood pressure; it helps to healthily stimulate the immune system and keep the endocrine system operating healthily.
Join me each Sunday afternoon for a time in which we will relax and renew your mind, body and spirit.
Live Well,
"When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you."
-- Lao-Tzu

Yoga has allowed Brandi the ability and drive to continue to run and chase her dream of one day running the Boston Marathon.
Brandi began teaching in 2009 as a way to give back what she had received from the traditions and her own personal practice. It wasn't long until she discovered that her true passion was to share yoga with others and continue to deepen her mind, body and spirit connection.
Brandi has served in numerous corporate positions throughout the last fifteen years with various large corporations throughout the DFW area. In May of 2010, Brandi made the decision to leave her corporate post to follow her dream of returning to school and obtaining her degree.
