“Meir taught me how to heal myself, whereas other methods only gave me temporary fixes that did not last. He taught me to listen deeply to my body and respond with gentle movement, and gave me tools to get well. It took me 1½ years to heal my C5S1 bulging disc. I went from unable to walk at all to hiking the Himalayas. Now I teach what I learned to others at Kaiser Oakland in Adult Education and Behavioral Health classes on how to Build a Healthy Back.”

Learn why to apply which massage techniques and movement exercises for the restrictions and imbalances observed to create overall improvement.

We’ll use the EFT tapping to start releasing issues that get in the way of staying connected with inner peace and ease. No prior EFT experience or knowledge is necessary. Donations gratefully accepted. About EFT: Emotional Freedom Technique is an easy to learn self-healing technique that allows you to effectively release stress, trauma, limiting beliefs, physical and emotional pain, and more. Gentle tapping with your fingers on meridian points (also used in acupuncture) facilitate a release of energy blockages and allow for healing and transformation.
About the circle: This meeting is all about experiencing EFT in a supportive group setting. Let’s start moving on those issues that keep holding us back, so more of our at times seemingly hidden lightness, peace and joy can start shining through! Come check out what EFT is all about, you are welcome to join the circle. I am looking forward to tapping with you!
While an EFT Healing Circle can help you to release all kinds of trauma, it is not appropriate for people with significant personality disorders and anybody under the influence. No registration necessary!

This interactive workshop will focus on the importance of breathing to facilitate movement in the body, and will utilize Meir Schneider’s “movements for self-healing” as preparations for accessing yoga poses that enhance respiration.

We will begin with self-massage and stretching of the breathing muscles as outlined in Dr. Scheider’s Handbook for Self-Healing. Then practice one or two breathing techniques, including a basic yogic breath, and apply the breath-work to the practice of a few yoga poses selected specifically to enhance respiration. We’ll palm to rest the eyes and close with savasana, corpse pose, a meditation in stillness to relax the body, mind and spirit.Participants will be led systematically to discover that proper breathing will help to make exercise and oher all movement, including yoga more effective, and that breathing and yoga are keys to self-exploration.

Pearl Howell began practicing yoga some 18 years ago, and has been teaching yoga for 7 years. She studied Raja yoga for many years under Magana and the late Walt Baptiste, and completed a year-long teacher training program conducted by senior Iyengar yoga teacher Tony Briggs. Ms. Howell has also completed all required CMT coursework at the School for Self-Healing, and is currently apprenticing there under Dr. Meir Schneider and Ms. Melissa Moody. Ms. Howell has a Master’s degree in Education and is drawn toward yoga and self-healing by her own healing journey, her natural “teacher within” and the joy she feels when sharing the art and science of these practices with others.
