Private Lessons, Consults, Coaching


Consider satisfying your dreams with personal lessons

Yoga – Meditation – Guided Imagery – Music – Sound Baths – Mentoring


♥ Personal Yoga Lessons

Individualize your yoga postures and breathing, yoga nidra, or meditation practice.  You can have private online lessons to work on areas of special interest for you and to fit your schedule.  It’s up to you.

Hatha yoga includes postures and breathing techniques to help improve your strength, balance, and coordination. We can focus on areas like bone and muscle strength, joint flexibility, and heart health.

Yoga Nidra is yogic sleep and can help tame your emotions, calm your mind, and help with physical concerns.  Clients often say they sleep better, their pain lessens, and inner peace is felt.

Lessons are given “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps.  Click to make contact.


♥ Meditation and Guided Imagery

Meditation lessons can cover a wide range of topics for anyone who wants to get started or deepen their meditation practice. It’s helpful to develop a meditation method that suits your temperament, whether it’s mindfulness, walking meditation, mantra repetition, or another.

Guided Imagery, also called creative visualization, is intentional daydreaming that magnifies the positive aspects of the mind-body connection.  It can elicit therapeutic relaxation; awaken and activate the natural ability for self-healing to occur; help with changing behaviors and habits; and stimulate intuition and uncover your inner truth and life direction.  Everyone can do it.

Lessons are given “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps.  Click to make contact.


♥  Music Lessons

Learn to play the Native American flute!  Lessons will get you off on a good note.  We will focus on whatever you like.  We can cover the basics, embellishments, and how to improvise or learn songs.  We will follow your interests from there by delving deeper into flute playing.

We can also get you started playing the Reverie harp, tuning forks, tongue drums, and singing bowls.

Music lessons are offered “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps.  Click to make contact.


♥  Sound Bath Concerts

Do you yearn for the benefits of meditation but have trouble meditating? A sound bath may be perfect for you.  Carefully selected instruments and frequencies are selected to help harmonize your wellbeing.  It is delightfully relaxing and can tap into your natural healing abilities.

You’ll experience a play of enchanting sounds from flutes, Himalayan singing bowls, harp, chimes, bells, drums, voice, and harmonium.  During a sound bath you’ll experience a musical blend of harmonizing tones to tune you up. You’ll feel the pleasure of letting your heart sing & dance.

Sound baths are offered individually and for groups.  They take place in-person and on Zoom (with a downloadable video to have for keeps).  Click to make contact.


♥  Coaching / Mentoring

Everyone has something they hope to ‘do someday,’ but have a hard time taking the necessary steps. Coaching will help.

Most of us are stymied by stress and would love to learn effective methods to renew our energy. Coaching will help.

For most, it is hard to make time to develop a practical plan and to put it into action. Others can keep to their plan, but only for a while, and then they slip back into old habits. Having information and support from someone else often makes all the difference.

Coaching is perfect if you are ready to:

  • Reduce stress by gaining mind/body mastery
  • Replenish your energy
  • Set and achieve your goals
  • Turn stress into something positive
  • Reach your full potential

Together we will design a customized plan for you that may include guidance in meditation, personalized guided imagery, visualization and relaxation, wellness strategies, and private and personal yoga lessons.

You will also benefit from Julie’s extensive base of experience in life planning, health promotion and making dreams come true.

Private lessons, email, Zoom, and phone consultations are all options. I will get in touch with you within 48-hours to set up an initial phone consultation at no cost or obligation. Click to make contact.

The Essence and Magic of Mindfulness Meditation: What, Why, How and Where

July 6, 2015 by Julie Lusk

What is Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness is defined as the impartial awareness of ones inner and outer experiences practiced moment by moment.

Here is an effective mindfulness meditation exercise from Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief, a book and audio set by Julie Lusk.  Try it out and let us know how it goes.  Your questions (and answers) are welcome!

B…R…E…A…T…H…E for Mindfulness *

This mindfulness meditation provides seven steps for practicing mindfulness with a twist of meditation.  The word “breathe” will help you remember each step.  Take your time to fully experience each of the steps before going on to the next.

Process          

Breathe fully, slowly.stop look listen

Release muscular tension.

Engage and Expand your awareness.

Alert to sounds, sights, and smells. Awareness without naming.

Think positive thoughts.

Here and now.

Enjoy the moment.

Why: Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation

Diane Poole-Heller reports that research has shown that the benefits of a mindfulness meditation practice helps develop all 9 functions of the brain’s prefrontal cortex.  This happens by practicing 20 minutes daily for only 8 weeks.

  1. ANS Regulation – Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Balance
  2. Attuned Communication – felt sense of other’s experience
  3. Regulation of emotionsBrain
  4. Response flexibility
  5. Empathy
  6. Insight – self awareness
  7. Fear extinction – GABA fibers to amygdala
  8. Intuition – deep knowing
  9. Morality

How, When and Where

Mindfulness can be practiced formally by closing your eyes and sitting up straight as in meditation for 20 or so minutes.  This builds up your capacity for mindfulness while also developing your brain.  It will lift up your energy and lower stress levels.  Your productivity will improve, your emotional fuse will lengthen, and your ability to enjoy living is enhanced.  Your whole day will go better, even in the midst of stress.

In addition, mindfulness can be practiced informally as well.  This is when you practice moment-to-moment awareness during your day-to-day activities. To get started, simply shift your attention to whatever is happening while it happens.  For example, impartially check in with sensations from your body (cool/hot, tense/relaxed, etc.), notice how you feel, impartially naming the mood you’re in, and noticing how your emotions are being expressed physically, and by becoming aware of whatever thoughts are taking place.  Practically speaking, this is done by taking time, for example, at meals to really look at your food and consciously smell it, taste it, and chew it.  Throw in some gratitude if you wish.  Or, take a few moments to feel the sunshine, to feel the actual texture of your pets fur or listen to whatever sounds are happening – all in a non-evaluative and nonjudgmental manner.  This also goes for noticing however you’re breathing and the level of tension or relaxation that’s present in your shoulders.YogaNidraCF.indd
