WHAT IS SHAMANISM ?
presented by
What is Shamanism? It is a way for you to move in the world with broader awareness for your own benefit. It teaches you to honor your own natural rhythms and look at the natural cycles that humans have disconnected from over the last several thousand years. It helps you integrate your power so you can use it to benefit yourself and those around you. It helps you evolve and deeply connect with the Earth Mother and the Universe. It gives you tools to create or recreate your life.

SHAMANIC HEALING
CIRCLE
presented by
Linda Nadeau
Please join me for a shamanic healing circle and experience contemporary shamanic techniques first hand.
As long as there have been people on this earth, community circles have existed to generate personal power, vitality, and healing. With all the internal and external energy drains common to modern life these techniques are more valuable than ever.
Perhaps soul retrieval and de-possession are more glamorous, but shamanism also provides powerful tools accessible to all. This circle will focus on giving you tools you can use immediately.
Itinerary
First, preparing you to participate by:
Simple exercises to release pent up energy within the body and open energy channels • A powerful tool for removing negativity from around you • Accessing the connection between your body and spirit • Accessing your helping spirits and inner wisdom
Second, the healing circle:
Generating healing power collectively • Restoration of vital energy • Responding to the individual needs of attendees
Follow up:
Questions • Handouts • Feedback slips

Events & Highlights
HONEY AND CINNAMON REMEDIES
The combination of honey and cinnamon has been used in both oriental and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known to mankind and honey’s popularity has continued throughout history. The two ingredients with unique healing abilities have a long history as a home remedy. Cinnamon’s essential oils and honey's enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide qualify the two “anti-microbial” foods with the ability to help stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi. Both are used not just as a beverage flavouring and medicine, but also as an embalming agent and are used as alternatives to traditional food preservatives due to their effective antimicrobial properties. People have claimed that the mixture is a natural cure for many diseases and a formula for many health benefits:
1) HEART DISEASES: Apply honey and cinnamon powder on bread instead of using jam or butter and eat it regularly for breakfast.
2) ARTHRITIS: Apply a paste made of the two ingredients on the affected part of the body and massage slowly.
3) HAIR LOSS: Apply a paste of hot olive oil, a tablespoon of honey, a teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath, leave it for 15 min and wash.
4) BLADDER INFECTIONS: Mix cinnamon powder and honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink.
5) TOOTHACHE: Apply a paste of cinnamon powder and honey and on the aching tooth.
6) CHOLESTEROL: Add honey to cinnamon powder mixed in boiled water or green tea and drink.
7) COLDS: Make a glass of lukewarm honey water mixed with cinnamon powder to help boost your immune system during the cold season. It may also help to clear your sinuses.
8) INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on a spoonful of honey taken before food relieves acidity.
9) LONGEVITY: Regularly take tea made with honey and a little cinnamon powder.
10) PIMPLES: Mix honey with cinnamon powder and apply paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash away the next morning.
11) OBESITY: To reduce weight, daily drink a mixture of a teaspoon of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder boiled in water with an empty stomach in the morning about half an hour before breakfast. Read:Cinnamon and Honey Recipe.
Cinnamon has an insulin boosting property (water soluble compounds called polyphenol type A polymers)which have the ability to boost insulin activity about 20 fold and can benefit people who have high sugar levels (obese people, pre-diabetics and diabetics ). Also, read the honey hibernation diet theory to find out how honey contributes to the metabolizing of undesirable cholesterol and fatty acid, provides a fuelling mechanism for the body, keep blood sugar levels balanced, and let our recovery hormones get on with burning body fat stores.
12) BAD BREATH: Gargle with honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water so that breath stays fresh throughout the day.
Honey plus cinnamon together besides being a amazing potential cure for so many illnesses, their total fragrant, sweet and warm taste is also a perfect match for the palate. The combination adds a magic effect to the taste of cakes, breads,biscuits and rolls and is known to make many winning recipes in the world of delicious food, such as the famous, easy-to-make, kids' favourite classic - honey and cinnamon butter toast!

Pranic healing has worked successfully with ailments ranging from migraines, asthma, arthritis, and cancer to addictions, depression and phobias.

The meditation also expands our energy centers and maximizes the effectiveness of the healing.

Disclaimer: The Pranic Healing® system is not meant to replace orthodox medicine but merely to complement it. Pranic Healing® practitioners DO NOT physically touch the recipient's body, diagnose diseases, prescribe any drugs/substances or make any health claims or promises. |
