From infancy, you uncon- sciously learn to interpret everything that happens in your life as pleasant or unpleasant based on how it is experienced through your five senses. As you mature, the mind becomes the primary interpreter of experiences and overcomes the senses. Join instructor Jerry Hartman for a half day of medi- tation, short talks, and group discussions that will increase awareness of your body. No previous meditation experience required. $59** (includes $40 in fees*) Sat 10am-2pm, Jul 14 XE-462 6519 #8068 Hickory Ridge Nia the Technique: In Movement We Find Strength Combining dance, martial arts, and mindfulness, Nia tones your body while transforming your mind.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that good health is the result of a free-flowing, well-balanced qi (bio- energy) system, while sickness, pain or physical disorders are the result of qi blockage, or unbalanced qi in the body. Qigong practice helps to balance the qi system in the body and break the qi blockages to recover health. It helps you develop a more relaxed, harmonious state of mind and body; reduce stress; resist illness; and heighten sensitivity to your body's internal organs along with developing an energetic ability to regulate your own health and vitality. You will focus on body posture adjustment and gentle movement, mind-focused relaxation, and breath regulation practice.
