Dear Students, Colleagues and Friends,
Thank you for your warm welcome to Salt Spring Island last month. Several Alaskans and a Texan joined us, and we all found it a lovely location for these sacred teachings and healing work. For those interested in visiting Salt Spring Island from the US it is close to Seattle and reachable by ferry via Victoria and other routes. Or, you can fly into Victoria or Vancouver and then take a ferry or a small plane to the Island, where the weather is milder and sunnier than in Seattle or Vancouver.
In response to students wanting to complete the Level One classes, I will return and repeat the Root of Healing and Balancing the Tides over Friday, February 29 to Monday, March 3. I will also offer individual sessions in the evenings and on Tuesday, March 4 and can schedule you now in advance.
Although these two classes combine as a unit comprising the first level of Energy Self-Balancing, either class or even one day of a class can be taken independently. You receive discounts for early registration and for taking both classes if you register by February 16. Please contact Evelyne locally at 250-653-2067 or at manitas66@yahoo.com or you can contact me directly at alaskaholistic@gci.net or by cell at 907-723-9351. Either way if you have not had a reply please contact both of us so we can be sure technology is not interfering with our connection, as I do not always receive emails and cell phone coverage while traveling including at SSI.
The Root of Healing, February 29 and March 1st is a comprehensive course covering the Chakras, or Energy Organs, and how the Chakra system overlaps our understanding of anatomy, physiology and specifically how to use the chakras for your own medical diseases and health. You will learn self-balancing techniques for every part of your body, head to toe, and for every physical organ in the body. You will learn techniques for balancing moods and your thinking process to integrate your entire energy field and bring overall healing for all your chakras, wherever the energy transformation is needed.
In Balancing the Tides on March 2 and 3rd you will learn how to work with three major energy streams. The Liver Stream is the only horizontal stream and releases the Solar Plexus and intersects with all the other streams in the Energy Field. So it can be used for healing anything. It is particularly beneficial for the immune system, blood cells, spleen, pancreas, diabetes and carbohydrate metabolism, pelvic release and any birth and family traumas, creativity, fertility, pregnancy health, pelvic health, the liver, lungs, circulation through the chest, the heart and blood pressure, emotional expression and control; depression and anxiety; pain control, deep emotions including anger, fear, insecurity. The Positive Stream correlates with the Parasympathetic Nervous System, and our automatic instinctual behaviors and relates to hunger, thirst, sex drive, bladder control, colon control, orgasm, heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep cylces, and other aspects of our natural rhythm. The Negative Stream correlates with the Sympathetic Nervous System and our adrenalin mediated fight or flight response and therefore controls anxiety, wakefulness, concentration and natural rhythm.
Together these two classes give you a number of ways you can work on balancing your energy field in every aspect of your body, mind and spirit. Since energy healing goes where it is needed, any class or self-balancing energy healing can really bring you to a different position with your personal healing. All classes are fine for beginners and for experienced clinicians. All classes also include meditation instruction.
This Summer or Fall I will return to SSI to teach Level Two on Vitality. In this five day class you will learn ways to connect the energy of sunlight through the spleen and immune system with your chakras for refueling the vitality of the energy field and balancing your natural rhythm. Let me know now if you prefer either Late summer or Fall dates.
I always offer an early registration discount and your early commitment helps me plan my location to fit the size of the group and also to organize my travel. I appreciate your referrals both for my classes and individual sessions, and the early registration discount applies for new students too. If there are too few students pre-registered two weeks before a class cancellation of the class, or moving to a smaller location will be considered. So even if you are considering registering later, or requesting a special payment over time option, I appreciate your commitment now with your registration so I can count you in on the location size.
I would like to hear from you and have your early registration and payment by February 16 to finalize plans. The class will be at the Lyons Club Hall from 10 AM to 6 PM with a generous break at some point each afternoon. I hope you can make arrangements to join us for both classes and receive an additional discount with early registration. A single day rate is also available. All of the information is on the course flyer.
I will offer two free introductory sessions on Thursday, February 28, at Mahon Hall in SSI. All are welcome with no RSVP necessary Noon to 2 PM and again 6 - 8 PM. Please tell your friends and colleagues.
Thank you again for your support and warm welcome to Salt Spring Island. I look forward to an ongoing commitment working with you there.

Dear Juneau Students and Friends,
Solstice approaches and the changes of a New Year unfold.
I will offer a free meditation and energy healing class on Sunday, December 9 at Noon in Suite One at 119 Seward Street, and another on Saturday, December 29 at Noon also, for the Saturday after the Full Moon this month. All are welcome, beginners and old timers. And no RSVP is needed. Soon I will announce the dates for the January free group so watch my web site.
My upcoming Juneau classes include the weekend class January 4-6, for opening the heart more fully to the blend of heaven and earth, the paradox of the male and female, the blend of light and dark that brings joy. This level of material is very helpful for overcoming depression and fatigue, and for integrating our old belief structures with our authentic selves. The result is opening to the depths of healing and transformation, integrating the lower, denser energies and the lighter, faster densities, and refueling the entire energy field. You can receive a discount for registration up to Dec. 15.
I will offer a half day Liver stream Class, with a focus on detox and overcoming addictions and compulsive behaviors on Saturday, January 12. Check my web site for details, and tell your smoking friends and others interested in making New Year changes.
In addition, I have several classes coming up out of town. You can soak in your own private mineral hot spring tub with an ocean view over the coast of British Columbia at the Salt Spring Spa four day class over MLK weekend, January 18-21. And I will offer Balancing the Tides in Palm Springs over March 8 and 9. Check my website for other classes, including the Spring chakra class, The Root of Healing, in Mill Valley, an easy bus ride from the San Francisco Airport over the Golden Gate Bridge in California, where I will return every quarter to six months. In Fairbanks I will offer the level two Vitality classes in February or later in the Spring.
Best wishes for the season. As always I appreciate you telling others about my work. I am accepting clients in Juneau ongoing and offer individual sessions at my travel locations. Please call or email if you have any questions or if you would like to register for a class or schedule a session.
Maureen

Dear Students, Colleagues and Friends,
It has been a pleasure working with so many of you over this past two years since beginning my formal teaching practice. My work is blossoming. Currently I am concentrating on the West Coast with a lovely variety of settings. I speak of each "level" here to organize the structure of my teaching for you but each segment stands alone and is available to you as an entry level class with no prerequisites required.
The nice thing about Energy Healing is that with these self-balancing exercises the energy goes where it is needed, so although the focused awareness is very precise the healing is comprehensive. That makes it very nice for me as a physician and scientist to teach and answer questions based on specific science and overlay of anatomy, physiology, physics and chemistry. At the same time it is easy for anyone to connect with the natural flow of his or her energy field using my instructions and feel the results with no scientific understanding needed. The system is designed for deep self-healing and energy balance.
I've pasted the flyer here for sunny Palm Springs classes in the California desert at the end of this month with the early registration discount to Nov. 15. This is the entire Level One with 2 days devoted to chakras and 2 days for brain, pelvic, chakras and liver stream.
I am offering a one day class on November 25 at British Columbia's Salt Spring Spa, with piped in mineral springs into each private Jacuzzi tub in lovely rooms over the beautiful rocky coast on Salt Spring Island easily accessible off the coast between Seattle and Vancouver Island. I will return to teach all Level One January 18-21, over MLK weekend, with discount registration to December 15. That flyer will come to you shortly by separate email. Here you could make your own personal New Year retreat immersed in energy healing and the cleansing of the hot springs. Alaska Airlines is one of the carriers flying over to Vancouver Island from Seattle or you can take a ferry. Then it's an easy $5 round trip ferry over to Salt Spring Island from Victoria.
I will add a Northern California class in Mill Valley, outside San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge in the beautiful community of Mill Valley at the Clear Center for Health beginning with the Level One chakra Root of Healing class January 26 to 27 weekend with early registration discount to December 10. That flyer will follow also.
In Alaska I will continue with Level 3 here in Juneau over January 4, 5, 6 weekend, Stepping Fully Into Your Light, Opening the heart to move beyond depression. And then I will continue with all of Level 4 over five continuous days over summer solstice, June 18 to 22; Birth, Death, Sexuality: Surrendering to Full Living.
Join me in Fairbanks February 16-19 for all the Level Two Vitality class and you may catch wondrous Northern Lights as well! The Saturday before the Quest dog-mushing race takes off from Fairbanks so you could make a winter holiday of it.
Back in Juneau surrounding the annual Alaska Family Physicians CME meeting I am offering classes: One for health providers June 11: an afternoon half day for stress reduction for yourself and for teaching your patients. (all health providers, technicians and therapists welcome, not just physicians)
On June 16 in Juneau I will offer a class on Meditation and the Chakra system.
So you have many choices. And until November 15, I am offering a one time annual "PFD" Discount of $175 for each two day or weekend class in any location. (This translates into $350 for my four-day and $440 for my five-day classes.) This is a huge savings! So you can register now for classes at this rate for any class in any location to October 2008. But you must register and pay by November 15 to obtain this discount. As you will note on each class flyer this Super Discount supercedes all discounts on class flyers and no further discounts apply to this rate. After November 15 only the rates per class as advertised on each flyer are in effect. You may contact me about further information regarding any of the classes to help you decide on your courses. The PFD Discount is only advertised to my mailing list and web site and their acquaintances.
With all these choices, and locations students have the ability to take all of Level One in California or Salt Spring Island; all of Level Two in Fairbanks, the remainder of Level Three and all of Level Four in Juneau. At each location I will then proceed to teach the next level as desired by the students with dates settled with students in advance in each location. You can join any level and any location you like, and in any order!
If you have special classes you would like, I am willing to tailor the material to your needs and subject matters that resonate for you or do trainings using energy healing techniques for your institution or group. I will come to your area by invitation and payment or when you have groups of students of 12 to 15 minimums. Because Energy Healing is heard of by more people now, and substantiated as scientific by books like The Field, more people are interested in forming groups for study or blending it into their work development curriculum. It is a pleasure being part of this movement going to the depths of ourselves together in healing. Check my website for updates and classes.
As always, in every location I travel I am available for individual sessions by appointment. Individual sessions include time discussing your focus and concerns, energy healing hands on demonstration and a specific homework assignment that you can do as guided awareness with your energy field for ongoing healing. Call me on my office cell phone to schedule: 907-723-9351, even if you send an email.
Take care, and best wishes to all of you as we approach the reflective times of winter and the new beginnings and growth into the year ahead.
Fondly,
Maureen Longworth, M.D.
