Experience Fee: $35 Tickets: [www.danceoflighthealing.com/events-guided-meditations](http://www.danceoflighthealing.com/events-guided-meditations) I am Cindy Waldman Maher, a certified Usui Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master, Teacher, and Practitioner with over 30 years of experience in stress management across the U.S. and South America. I was always drawn to natural healing and in the early 1990s, I began exploring alternative techniques for relaxation and consciousness expansion using sound and light stimulation. My journey with Reiki began after witnessing its profound healing effects when my daughter recovered from a severe asthma attack with the help of Reiki. For the last 20 years, I have helped individuals with physical, mental, and emotional challenges through Reiki sessions, both in-person and remote. I have trained many new Reiki healers; those who aspire to help themselves and their loved ones, healers who want to become certified and open their own practice, and many people who are drawn to Reiki for spiritual enlightenment. Regardless of why someone seeks Reiki, I have found that they always benefit from the experience—and that brings me great joy.

Join us for a transformative sound and vibration journey, where you'll experience the profound energy of Light Language. Unlike traditional languages with fixed alphabets and agreed-upon meanings, Light Language is a vibrational expression that transcends human limitations and speaks directly to your soul and DNA. Some would call Light Language the “Language of the Soul.” This multidimensional, non-linear communication is best described as an experience, originating from within the soul, the Earth's guardians, or star nations. It uniquely resonates with each individual's vibrational needs, facilitating clearing, balancing, and aligning the body with newfound clarity. During the evening, Bill Sanda will guide the group through three Light Language meditations, with discussions in between. Investment: $20 Space is limited so a RSVP is required. This also helps to notify you if any changes or updates FIRST TIMERS: No prior experience necessary. All are welcome as long as you come with an open mind and respectful heart.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.
