2) INTRODUCTION TO IRIDOLOGY , Marnie McBain
Some say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. In the study of iridology this statement is not so far from the truth. The eyes not only see and interpret the external world, but they also see the internal workings of the body and reflect this in the markings of the iris. Iridology is the science of analyzing the delicate structures of the iris to assess the tissue integrity and/or toxcity of the internal organs of the body. **If you wish to attend this seminar, please bring a small flashlight and a small magnifying glass, to be more interactive

1) Yoga Nidra is a body centered form of meditation that promotes deep relaxation, stress release and healing. Yoga Nidra means "yogic sleep" or conscious sleeping. The Yoga Nidra process is part of the Tantric tradition, and is developed from an ancient practice called Nyasa. Nyasa means "to place", and in the context of Yoga Nidra, it involves placing the awareness in different parts of the body. Complete relaxation is often blocked by a busy brain, the process of Yoga Nidra systematically engages the brain at the levels of the subconscious and unconscious, reducing or eliminating habitual thought patterns. As these patterns are released greater health and well-being can be established.
