SUMMARY:Mindful Metta Mondays
DESCRIPTION:Start Your Week  Alive\, Empowered and Connected!\nJune 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 2016\, 7:00pm-8:00pm\nJuly 11\, 18\, 25\, August 1\, 2016\, 7:00pm-8:00pm\nAugust 15\, 22\, 29\, September 5\, 2016\, 7:00pm-8:00pm \n4-week course $72 ($18/class) or $20 Drop in \nWhen we cultivate our natural capacity for opening the heart and allowing it to blossom\, we get closer to the best versions of ourselves. Metta or loving kindness is a powerful transformative practice that deepens recognition of our profound interconnection with all living things\, allowing us to experience this sense of connection\, even with the difficult people in our lives. Insights are sharpened and equanimity is accessed when we integrated Mindfulness Meditation and Metta with Contemplative Writing\, This course\, based on the teachings of Sharon Salzberg\, will help you develop and deepen your: \n\nConcentration\nConnection\nCourage/Fearlessness\nAuthentic Happiness\nDiscernment\n\nMetta helps us awaken our hearts into a sense of spacious freedom\, allowing us to bring greater loving kindness into everyday life\, work and love. As we gain greater clarity and insight into our own hearts and minds by bringing attention to how we think\, speak and act\, we can open to a whole new\, more discerning and caring way for engaging with ourselves and others. \nAs you develop your practice\, you’ll see the fruits of greater loving kindness everywhere. This ongoing/repeatable class will help you sustain your practice and nurture the qualities of loving kindness with direction instruction\, guided meditation and contemplative writing. There will also be plenty of opportunities for conversation and communal support for your practice. \n \nThe more you practice\, the greater the gifts. You will: \n\nFeel your stress and tension dissolve.\nLoosen the grip of tightening fear in the heart  and feel it turn into open and spacious caring.\nExperience a sense of ongoing renewal\, peace\, and confidence arising from your own loving kindness practices\n\nIt’s not surprising that many people consider calming the mind through meditation as first step to a more peaceful\, less stress-filled life. Yet\, compassion and loving kindness have the power of water\, a gentle force for courage allied with wisdom. Enjoy the peace of offering the gift of your compassion for others as we hold them quietly in our hearts. \nThrough cultivating empathy and understanding we expand our capacities for resolving conflicts and strengthen and multiply our possibilities for creatively easing suffering in the world and in our own hearts. \nThis course is for both new and experienced meditators. Bring a notebook and your favorite writing implement. You may bring a meditation cushion or bench if you like\, but we also provide everything you need to be comfortable. \nRegister by calling Hillary at  312-714-4563 (Please leave a message if no answer)

Classes are held in the second-floor Heartwood classroom with the exception of the Vajrasattva Feast which is held in the Skylight Event Space. \n4th Sunday\nVajrasattva Sadhana\nKnown as one of the most precious and profound Dzogchen Sadhanas within Vajrayana\, this profound Sadhana from the Ati Zabdon Terma of the great master Terdag Lingpa is filled with blessings and merit. This Sadhana contains within it the entire meaning of the profound Vajrayana path. This practice is open for authorized students only. Coordinated by Nancy Floy and Trish Mooney.

My vision\, more than 20 years ago\, was to create a refuge and sanctuary where people of all walks of life could come together in community to learn and grow and heal.  I have been practicing Asian Medicine for nearly 30 years and bring experience with both acupuncture and energy healing as well as mindfulness meditation.  Treatment sessions include time for the patient to speak about what is causing their suffering and allowing the treatment strategy to arise organically.  A session includes bodywork for relaxation\, acupuncture to delve deeper into clearing and balancing the channels and guided meditation to soothe and settle the mind consciousness.  I am trained in Tibetan\, Japanese and Chinese Medicine and seamlessly weave these beautiful modalities together to provide a path out of the suffering that comes with being human.  To schedule a treatment session call or text:  847-491-9858 email: nancyfloy@heartwoodcenter.com\nCredentials: MA\, LAc\, Dipl Ac \n847.491.9858 | Email
