Living Life Large: A look at the healing effect of a Macrobiotic Diet by Sean Thornton, Macrobiotic Guide Are you really taking the best care of yourself and those you love and living the life you want? If you find the idea of shopping, cooking and eating for optimum health a daunting one, this class will give you the knowledge and inspiration to make choices that will support your physical and emotional well being for the rest of your life. You’re GOING TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF! We will examine the differences and effects of processed foods, which make up the Standard American Diet, and Whole Foods, which are the basis of the Macrobiotic Diet. For instance, what happens between the time the cow’s milk leaves the barn and reaches your grocery shelves and how does this process affect your body emotionally and physically. Students will engage in some fun and calming exercises involving chewing, breathing and healing sounds that will promote optimum digestion and a more peaceful approach to life. They will also receive recipes and formulas for preparing and cooking whole foods simply, as well as ideas on where and how to shop efficiently and economically while taking advantage of seasonal foods. After a handout and review of the most effective order in which to consume our food, class will conclude with some sumptuous taste testing of macrobiotic food. Sean has studied and continues to practice and study Macrobiotics and Macrobiotic Shiatsu at the World-Renowned Kushi Institute which caters to individuals who simply want to maintain their health, as well as those who are faced with life threatening diseases. Diagnosed with severe ADHD at the age of 13, he sought a path to physical and emotional peace through Macrobiotics, which enabled him to overcome anxiety and depression and build the career of his dreams. In addition to supplying Macrobiotic guidance, he works and cooks with a Macrobiotic Kitchen in North Hollywood, which provides a Daily Meal Service to the Public as well as supplying their own food line to “Full of Life, “Follow Your Heart “Erewhon ”and several Farmers’ Markets. He has a great passion for kids and animals and hopes to introduce the benefits of Macrobiotics to as many individuals, families and their pets (Yes, pets can eat and live macro too) as possible. The Energy System of Acting and Lionheart Institute get a nice mention in this interview with Lionheart student, Michael Buffo:
How do you know if Energy Healing is REAL? by Laura Fine When we watch a Healer waving their hands in the air and achieving startling physical results on a client, we may sometimes feel like an audience member at a magic show. Something occurred that could not be understood or perceived with the physical eye. Last week I was viewing some Energy Healing Demos on YouTube with a friend and colleague. We were discussing our responses to some of the various Energy Healing work that is posted. It was a fascinating conversation! The question arises, is this real? Is the person who couldn’t lift their arm over their head for 8 years and now with the help of an Energy Healer is able to achieve that in a matter of minutes, truly healed? Will that change last? How did the Healer do it??? In my experiences, sometimes these changes last and sometimes not. Why is that? And even if its temporary, how does that occur? Accessing the natural laws of thermodynamics by regulating the electromagnetic field of the body with the 7.8 hertz frequencies of the earth enables us to direct energy in a particular direction through force of will and intention. It’s not magic. The practice is based in pure science. However to be truly effective there is a crucial and often missing ingredient. The science of healing involves incorporating the ingredient of the vibrational frequencies of love, compassion, gentleness etc. But then the question arises, HOW to observe so that we can SEE? HOW do we learn to SEE? If we turn off the sound and watch the video again and just observe the Healers body, we might begin to perceive some of the subtler effects occurring. Using our basic instincts is a great place to start. When you look at a person, what is evoked in you? Do they feel approachable, warm, cool or standoffish? We will be attracted to a quality in the healer that we may be lacking in within ourselves. When you meet someone are you struck by their power? Are they self-involved or interested in YOU? Do you feel tense or relaxed around them? The answers to these questions often reflect the vibrational frequencies they (and you) embody in the energy field that surrounds them. I have had experiences with numerous healers some of which felt very dramatic in the moment but my symptoms re-occurred soon thereafter. There are some healers who I observe as very powerful but I would not want to be touched by them! In my experience the most permanent changes happen in a gentle manner that feels natural. Lionheart training emphasizes the inner work of the natural development of spiritual qualities such as compassion, integrity and authenticity. The cultivation of these frequencies in our Human Energy Field develop a powerful base for natural, gentle and lasting change. Plan to join us on July 18 for the Doorway to Transformation class and see for yourself! Dr. Payam Hakimi returns to Lionheart with his ChakraOlogy series.

 What is the most powerful energy work tool? By Dan Buffo I am often asked, “What is the best or most powerful energy work tool or technique?” I give various answers. It is always safe to mention grounding, since without this, our energy fields, perception and our ability to make contact are compromised. Another thing I mention is that in different situations, different tools work best, but no one tool is always the first choice. When pressed, I might say that the human voice is the most useful and versatile energy tool I use. Let me explain. The basic intention of the healer is to help the client live the life they came into the world to live: to fulfill their purpose. So, the most important thing we can do for our clients is to empower them to live that life. Helping clients help themselves is far more efficient than attempting to do it for them. Most of my clients are taught to ground early in our relationship. Once they can, I help them to clear and charge their own energy bodies. In the healing room, for example, when I notice an area that is not receiving well, before I charge it, I ask them if it’s alright if that area receives, and may ask them to allow the energy from their own ground to fall towards it. This is a way of helping the client clarify their intention in the present moment. Results, in the form of greater or better charging are usually instantaneous, because energy follows thought and thought follows intention. If there is a block or energy congestion, I ask them if they want to hang onto it or is it ok if it goes. Again, results are usually immediate. This strategy may be repeated if, as the client’s field charges, they become aware of deeper blocks or unconscious holdings. Voice can be used to guide and refine the client’s ability to allow the healing to unfold in may other ways. I will be exploring these two themes – helping the client help themselves, and the many uses of the healer’s voice – during two days of classes during the last weekend of June. If you are interested in learning more about them, you are welcome to join us. Be well. – Dan Lionheart Institute presents this month’s Free Community Gift Class: Introduction to Kundalini Yoga with Monica Corbett, EHP Kundalini Yoga, “the yoga of awareness” combines breathwork, movement, stretching, meditation, and mantra (chanting) to help you recharge your body and promote health and healing. The yoga sets are specifically designed to stimulate the nervous and immune systems, while improving strength and flexibility. It has been proven to reduce stress, decrease anxiety and improve concentration. As the Kundalini energy begins to move freely it centers the mind, opens up the spirit. The goal of Kundalini Yoga is to help reach new levels of awareness of self, strengthen your capacity to deal with life’s challenges, and to experience deeper joy in life. In this class you will learn how to meditate, connect deeply into your energetic system, activate your chakras and feel an aliveness and peace that lies deep within the self. Monica has been practicing Kundalini Yoga for over decade. Rather than taking the standard Physical Education program in High School, Monica studied Kundalini Yoga. This created a passion in her that would inspire her to study at the world-renowned Golden Bridge Yoga Studio in Los Angeles, California where she became a Fully-Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher in 2008. This training has helped her to deepen and expand her understanding and awareness of the mind, body and soul connection. For more information on Monica Loren Corbett go to – www.monicaloren.com Spotlight on Family Constellations by Scott Bader A decade ago I experienced my first constellation workshop and it grabbed me like no other work has before or since. It was as if all the other work I had ever done culminated in this very mysterious and yet straightforward approach. Very simply, in 30 years of personal exploration, constellation work is the most profound form of healing and reconciliation that I have encountered. Truly, it is a doorway into our larger selves. In systemic constellation work, workshop participant present an issue in their life that continues to create difficulties for them such as a relational problem or illness. The client then selects other participants from within the group to represent family members, illnesses or whatever may be appropriate to that particular constellation. This is not a simple role-playing exercise; effortless method acting is a more apt description. These “representatives” are unaware of the role they have been placed in and/or the issue itself. In this moment, we become witness to a mysterious phenomenological process as the representatives begin to experience sensations, movements, or feelings within their own body that offer a rich unfolding tapestry of life’s innate healing wisdom. Whether one participates as a client, representative, or observing group member, its power is felt by each of us. The constellation experience is both personal and universal as it reveals the deep spirituality within the heart of our humanity. A few examples may be useful. A woman with breast cancer observes the disease’s call and gift to live a larger, less limited life. And she is still doing this, to this day. Or a forty-year-old man who desires and yet has never had a long-term relationship observes the effect of his parents’ inability to grieve the miscarried daughter who preceded him. In his unending search for what was missing, he could not truly see or say “yes” to a potential partner. And lastly, a young woman who moved through life with a sense of incompleteness, as if there was a mysterious absence, learns of her vanished twin and reconciles her place of belonging in the world. The stories are unique, embodied and endless. Through the experiential doorway of Constellations we will discover the fullness of what it is to be human as we presence ourselves with the core issues of life and relationship. Click here to join us for this amazing weekend of Family Constellation! June 4th – 6th Coincidence or destiny? By Dani Antman Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous. Albert Einstein When I think of all the circumstances that led to my studying energy healing over 22 years ago I am awe struck. It started with a flyer on bus stop, advertising a woman who gave channeling sessions. I had heard about channeling from Shirley McClaine’s book Out on a Limb, and was really curious. Well, that woman told me I was a healer! I said what? What’s a healer? I had been working as a freelance artist for many years at that time. She told me to find a book on healing. Was it a coincidence or destiny that Barbara Brennan had just published her milestone book Hands of Light and was just starting a healing school not too far from where I lived? Reading that book enthralled me, and produced a resonance deep inside my soul, a deep YES!, that for me was a call to destiny and a new life. Deepak Chopra considers the increase of coincidence in your life one of the signs of your awakening consciousness, as indicated in this quote: The second symptom (of Enlightenment) is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous…..When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. Deepak Chopra
In my private healing practice I am always amazed at the coincidence of a client’s issues reflecting some piece of inner work I have just (barely!) completed. I have come to know that we are all connected in an intelligent universe that works on resonance, connection and relationship. This divine intelligence is what produces the phenomenon of coincidence….the guiding force that allows our destiny to unfold. As I start to teach with the new Tools & Techniques class this May, I am deeply aware that all of you who show up are answering a destiny call, and it is not a coincidence that certain people have been called to join you at this point of your journey. The friendships that you form as you enter this work of deep exploration reflect deep soul connections that have been waiting for the right time to ripen. This recognition is part of a conversation that has already been going on, way before you actually get to class! David LaChapelle, a teacher of mine once said: The light entering a person within a group of open individuals passes through all persons in the group, affecting some form of transformation unique to each person’s place in their sad- hana (spiritual practice). Never under-estimate the gift of what each of us brings to any group. This is especially true of healing schools. So if you are still “deciding” on whether to join, reach deep into your heart, and feel into whether or not you are being called to this constellation of individuals at this time. If you are already registered, know that we are already having a conversation that is outside of time and space, and will soon meet in person. I look forward to being with you, it is no coincidence! Blessings, Dani Antman
