The event, which is open to the public and free of charge, will probe the deep connection between the health of the mind and that of the body. All of us have heard stories of people who have healed themselves with the power of positive thinking. There is also often a misconception that if we can think positively, ALL illness and pain can be cured. Come and participate in an evening of discussion on how we can use our thoughts to support us through the healing process, promote optimum health of our bodies and help us accept the health issues that we cannot change. Learn strategies that will help the mind be more peaceful and positive during the healing process. Our presenter this month is Merrillyn Hener. Merrillyn has a master’s degree in physical therapy from Boston University. She works in “integrated rehabilitation” by combining western therapeutic practices with reiki, yoga & visualization techniques. Please RSVP.
