Awareness Through Movement
Thursdays, 5:00pm-6:00pm
The Feldenkrais Method uses a practice of body awareness as a means to attain a higher degree of freedom in our lives. When observing & recognizing our habitual patterns of moving, standing, sitting, interacting and so forth, we begin to discover unknown alternatives where habits may have been restricting or pain provoking. This awareness enables us to act with more ease and grace where before we were stuck in rigidity and pain. The Feldenkrais Method uses gentle movement-explorations accompanied by a precise and detailed self-observation, enabling all age groups to participate. Group classes, called Awareness Through Movement, are verbally guided explorations, whereas individual sessions, called Functional Integration is a hands-on method (see below) drop-in: $12 per class, 10-classes pre-paid $100 ($10 per class) Location: Inner Metamorphosis University, Register: Not required, check class schedule for posted cancelations. visit www.Lifesurfing.org If paid online, please print your receipt and bring to class. call 773-262-1468 - to email please use our contact form

Silent Sitting – Free!
Every morning, 6:00am-7:30am.
Like most of the meditation methods it is of a neutral nature and can be practiced by everyone irrespective of their cultural and religious background, without coming into conflict with it! The thoughts and feelings, which might arise during the silent sitting, are simply to be allowed to pass by without engaging ourselves with them. Not going into them nor struggling against them, we just stay quietly in touch with the natural flow of breath. While sitting, we stay with the remembrance that during this period we are not going into the world of the many, but connecting to the source, connecting to the roots, connecting to the essence consciously. This is a time we are taking to consciously be with the energy, with the now - to be with the purity of this moment.

Total Dancing - meditative exercise - Free!
Wednesdays
Dance is one of the most natural and easy bridges to a state of intensity and receptivity. Being total, inwardly undivided, a state, in which we feel at home, we experience joy and a oneness with life. Total dancing happens, through giving oneself into dancing spontaneously and wholeheartedly, like a child, which out of joy and pleasure dances to whatever music. Put all achievement and goal-orientation aside and go fully into the moment, celebrating and rejoicing in the dance itself. After the dance we are resting in silence for 20min, just to be.

Hospice nurse and Reiki therapist Eileen Grace has spent more than two decades helping people cross over during the dying process and has had two near-death experiences herself. In this utterly compelling, highly informative lecture, Eileen discusses her remarkable firsthand experiences, including what can hold people back from their time to go, how souls on the other side help prepare the dying for their journey, who might come to help a person at the actual time of transition, and how Eileen has come to understand why the transition process is a very special, and very big, opportunity for soul growth and expansion. At the end of the lecture, Eileen will be happy to share insights and answer questions regarding personal experiences audience participants may have had with loved ones before, during or after their passing. Space is limited, registration is required. Call (312) 786-1882 or go to www.equilibrium-e3.com, click on CLASSES.
