NOVEMBER

Sunday, November 16th, 1:30 to 3 pm

Author Book Talk, Signing, and Q&A
“Oneness: A United State of Mind”
With Author Amit Doron

Oneness is a tool kit to transforming the solutions in conflict that the Mind has to offer, with the Resolution of the Heart: Acceptance!

Oneness suggests the opportunity to exchange the Suffering in Mind with the Peace of Heart. The road from perception to Awareness, conflict to Peace. Through Spiritual Poetry and Artwork, and in-depth explanations along side Mantra-affirmations. A warm invitation to walk together an "Out of –what Box" approach to seeing God, by letting go of perceiving anything else. Thus realizing the Self in Love vs. fear, Truth vs. illusion, God vs. nothing at all...

A pathway to Spiritual transformation, of awakening on a personal level hands on. In a collection of lessons, laid out to gently walk along your side from the illusions of Mind to the Truth at Heart. Through milestones such as Love is acceptance, forgiveness, letting go, flow, undoing perceiving separation, seeing wholeness, Self realization, and Life at the Present moment. Thus restoring inner Peace. A heart opening experience of realizing Self in Truth, "Oneness" is a tool-kit to undoing past beliefs of separation, thus re-schooling cognitive behavior from negative thoughts to positive thoughts and feelings. The Awareness of our Oneness in Truth, the experience of that which is the here and now: Peace; the lack of conflict.

"In Oneness: A united state of mind, Amit Doron gives us an extraordinary treatise on the fact that the key to life is love. It's also a beautiful and poetic read.

I enjoyed it completely, and I know that you will too."

~ Gary Renard, the best-selling author of Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality



Cost: Free



Amit Doron has studied spirituality for the past twenty-five years, and has taught spirituality at the Rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol abuse in Malibu California. Amit volunteered at Unity Laguna Hills CA for three years as their teacher of "A Course in Miracles".

The Healing Book Club

An informal book discussion group

With Heather Whittington

November Book Selection: My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey by Jill Bolte Taylor

In 1996, 37-year-old neuroanatomist Taylor experienced a massive stroke that erased her abilities to walk, talk, do mathematics, read, or remember details. Her remarkable story details her slow recovery of those abilities (and the cultivation of new ones) and recounts exactly what happened with her brain. This is a fascinating memoir of the brain's remarkable resiliency and of one woman's determination to regain her faculties and recount her experience for the benefit of others.

Our Purpose
To provide a supportive environment for self growth and exploration through the discussion of selected non-fiction books. Heather said, "I started this book club after Phoenix Rising training in order to keep up to date and curious. I also enjoy bringing together, like-minded people to share ideas and discuss our impressions of books. We always learn something new at book club!"

Everyone is Welcome (Do I have to read the book?)
While many of the participants have read the book either in part or in full prior to the gathering, it is not required to attend. All that is asked is a willingness to join in and an open mind. In the spirit of compassion, all participants are asked to respect the opinions and confidentiality of others in the group.

THURSDAYS

MASSAGE & RAINDROP TECHNIQUE AROMATHERAPY

with Cheryl Moore
Treat yourself to the ultimate peace and self-caring with an amazingly and therapeutic
Raindrop Technique Aromatherapy session.

The Raindrop Technique, developed by D. Gary Young, N.D. and a Lakota medicine man almost two decades ago, uses a sequence of nine highly immune enhancing essential oils. They are dropped like rain from a height of about 6 inches onto the spine and then lightly massaged in using various hand to body techniques. This stimulates energy impulses and disperses the oils along the nervous system throughout the entire body.

We all carry immune system depleting viruses and bacteria. Essential oils applied to the spinal column are absorbed through the nerves that feed the entire body. Wonderfully soothing, nurturing and relaxing, the Raindrop Technique can work its benefits in the body for days, weeks or months.

Cost: $85 One hour Raindrop Therapy session
         $70 One hour Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage
         By Appointment. Call 301-631-JOYS (5697)

Cheryl is a Nationally Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist, having graduated from The Baltimore School of Massage in 2001. Her focus is on incorporating essential oil aromatherapy into her work which her experience has shown, promotes a deeper level of healing and relaxation. Cheryl began practicing Raindrop Therapy after having a profound, personal experience of its healing and energetic properties. She feels everyone can benefit from the application of these specific essential oils, dropped carefully along the spine. She loves sharing her passion of healing and of the oils and hopes to be able to share that with you at Ten Thousand Joys!!

ASTROLOGY READINGS

by appointment with Shannon Beatty.

Please call the store for details.

Natal astrology: a key to the toolbox of your soul Understand planetary influences on your life Open the lid! Everyone’s life has places where the water flows, and a few rocks. Natal astrology takes note of the positions of the heavenly bodies in the solar system as they were when you were born and assesses how they relate to the tools in the metaphysical toolbox of your soul, to your personality, emotions, your purpose in this lifetime. What gifts and conditions were yours at birth? A natal chart reading can confirm what you already know, and give you new insight to understand yourself.

Shannon Beatty began her study of astrology at seventeen. At twenty-three she held a B.A. with a minor in philosophy, including studies in mysticism and perspectives on the Tarot and I Ching. She has taken formal classes in natal and medical astrology, and in thirty years she has cast and interpreted numerous charts. She is a mother, research scientist, calligrapher and photographer; she is known to ride horses, fly sailplanes, sew, garden, read, write, and laugh. What makes you tick?

Please provide your birth data (date, time, place) and $50 deposit to Ten Thousand Joys. Your comprehensive natal reading includes a hand-cast chart, a written summary, and a one-hour recorded consultation for $125.
