We hope you enjoy the July 4th holidays! The July-August 2017 Program Schedule will be posted by 6/30.

Energetic and practical ways to keep from getting sick or hurt, and to heal ourselves if we do – this talk is free and open to all.

Carole Pressnall will review hands-on healing, then discuss: emotions and disease, shamanic healing, chakra care, visualization as well as tapping, magnets, eucalyptus+camphor+menthol, and several other techniques. She has summarized her extensive research and personal experiences in handouts for each participant.

Carole Pressnall, M.F.A. will present a relaxed hands-on workshop to both prevent illness and to heal. First, she will review the hands-on vibrational healing techniques she demonstrated in Part I, then follow up with unconventional healing methods: magnets, Edgar Cayce’s castor oil packs, hot and cold gel packs, acupressure, neti pots, prayers and visualization, attitude and belief in yourself. Ms Pressnall has prepared multiple free handouts with healing hints for participants. This program is free and open to all.

We will have a program on this 2017 book by Dr Judith Orloff, MD, a psychotherapist who is an empath herself and has been counseling empaths for over 20 years. Subtitled “Life’s Strategies for Sensitive People”, she gives hope to those who “actually sense other people’s emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in their own bodies, without the usual filters that most people have.” Empaths can suffer physically and emotionally from negative energies; are prone to addictions; and are vulnerable to narcissists and other “energy vampires” – unless they follow self-care strategies like those Dr Orloff describes.

This program with handouts by Ann Ford is free and open to all.

Today, 6/7, from 6-8 pm, join us for impromptu discussions, or to read books from our large esoteric library. On Sunday, 6/11, from 1-3 pm, we have our monthly Open Discussion session. Both events are free and open to all. Parking is free on our block of N. Charles St on weekdays after 6 pm, and all day on Sundays.

For full descriptions of Library Night and Open Discussion, see our current program schedule.

The talk will be from 1-3 pm, is free and open to all. Our speaker, Mr. U. S. Pandey, a Theosophist visiting from India, describes his talk this way:

The philosophy of yoga deals with some of the greatest mysteries of life and the Universe.

The most important purpose of life is to become integrated and whole in our thought, feelings and emotions and to align these with our higher Self. Yoga provides a scientific way to attain this wholeness. Patanjali, the great sage of ancient India, compiled the process of practicing yoga in the form of sutras or aphorisms. These sutras describe eight-limbed yoga which is also called Raj-Yoga.  Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras stand out as the most authoritative and useful.

In the talk the concept of Yoga in general and some Yoga-Sutras will be covered.

Mr. Pandey is a life member of the Theosophical Society in India, and has studied at the School of Wisdom at the society’s international headquarters at Adyar (Chennai). He has given talks in Australia, Singapore, Pakistan, Indonesia and the US. With others, he conducts camps in India for Integrated Development of children and youth.
