I offer spiritual guidance/teaching to those seeking freedom from suffering, and a more connected way of being. Sessions are an exploration of experience. We look at moments of inner disharmony, and notice what belief/falsity may be operating. What idea is active? How does that conflict with what you know/experience as true? Bringing such ideas into awareness allows them to weaken and dissolve. The point is not to change your ideas nor add new ideas to you, but to recognise specific ideas that are inhibiting the experience of being, which is effortless. We can explore whatever is arising - doubt, fear, judgement, conflict, and look together at what is true and what is not true. For those drawn to connection, the sessions offer the opportunity to experience it - to meet what is present with openness, and to experience connection/harmony/flow with self, another, life, what is - which, as far as I experience, are one and the same. Sessions are free of charge. You can organise a session via my website: tashshadman.com

Then I found I could heal it! My story of seeking balance began two decades ago. Nowadays many women have had amazing healing and empowering experiences with this practice. For those new to this space, a bit more about me on the foot of this event. **The [JADE EGG HOLISTIC PRACTICE](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/jade-egg-holistic-practice/)** A unique method that addresses all levels of being. Anchored in my shamanic background and two decades of experience in crystal healing. It has kept refining and evolving over the past nineteen years. Presenting the [Jade Egg](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/jade-circle-shop/) as a transformational healing tool. It is the culmination of my devotion to the Yin Taoist Practices and Alchemy Secrets. With the commitment to revive the Jade Priestess Lineage and the Dragon Mystic Codes. **[ANAMARTA](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/anamarta/)** *Called a Trailblazer in Feminine Empowerment, a Visionary, and a Spiritual Midwife. A Taoist Master by the Independent Newspaper.* Initiated by my grandmother into the family lineage of Medicine Women. I dedicate my life to helping women access their radiant health and self-empowerment. I’m a pioneer of the Tao of Feminine Empowerment. I qualified as a Taoist Master Trainer from Healing Tao UK. And became an Advanced Instructor of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain. Teaching the Jade Egg Holistic Practice & Kuan Yin Qigong for most of my adult life. I teach ongoing monthly circles, online courses, weekend workshops, and week-long retreats. Women describe these experiences as life-enhancing and for many life-changing. An honour and a joy to hold this sacred space for many thousands of women around the world. Then when the Jade Temple Online started, the world gathered in one place. In the same spirit of love and what I’d like to call sisterhood medicine. Since its birth in London in 2007, the Jade Circle® has visited 14 countries over four continents. I'm grateful for the numerous places that have hosted me.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
