Mindful Mondays: Meditation, Energy Healing, & Psychic Fun
Co-creation Mondays are about reconnecting each of us with our own divinity and own inner creator, so we can live a more intentional life. That is exactly what we want.
When we come together as a group, the energetic impact of this can magnify our intentions, and open us up to even greater inspiration for what we would like to have happen in life.
These events are designed to allow for greater collaboration and connection within the conscious community and those adjacent to it while also empowering each individual to step more powerfully into their own life.
No prior experience is needed for these events.
Nor is any religious or spiritual affiliation, needed, though you will be guided based on what Chris has found to be true in his own studies of consciousness, spirituality, co-creation (sometimes called manifestation or law of attraction), various religions, and self improvement modalities.
These events are currently by modest contribution (\~$15 is appreciated but bring or share as you can) to help support the space and keep a clean karmic energetic exchange.
This is a karma-free event. There are also additional energy tools Chris uses to set the space before and after event, so that enhancement, inspiration, and alignment are what each participant walks away with.
If this resonates, we hope to see you at an event soon!
More people will be in attendance than on this RSVP. More than a dozen are at events. You will be in good company :)
We begin on time. If you're running behind, quietly find an available seat if the meditation has begun.
# **Agenda**
#### **6:30pm: Doors Open**
Arrive, grab a bottled water or sparkling water, meet others, and/or check out some of the books laid out related to metaphysics and intuition.
#### **7pm: Intention-setting and Meditation**
We start with brief introductions & intention setting then hop into a guided grounding meditation (about 12-15 min)
#### **7:30pm: Intuitive Fun/Exploration**
We will shift into a dynamic part of the evening when we do mini experiments in developing intuitive abilities. Previous times have included telekinesis, telepathy, energy healing, and practicing seeing/sensing the subtle energy body.
#### **8pm: Social and Connection**
Make new friends or enhance current relationships. This is a fun part of the evening where we can laugh and better know each other. Also a great time for inspiration and learning something new!
#### **8:30pm: Parting Ways**
At 8:30pm, we gather for a quick karma clearing exercise (takes 90 seconds) and then people head out. Sometimes people stick around a bit longer. Sometimes there's an invite to get food or go to another place. But it's a nice send off til we see each other again!

How to Get Over Losses and Betrayls & Build Lasting Relationships
Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships?
Are you 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 āpin the blameā on someone or something. If you donāt 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, donāt 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 youāve 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 āeraseā the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isnāt 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 ācorrosive criticismā or the need to invalidate self or others?
⢠How one can stably change oneās 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 oneās own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or oneās 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 āstoredā and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can āeraseā 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 ātoxicā personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you wonāt 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 held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
