Puking My Guts Out and other events

Dear Friends, Recently, a friend asked me, "How was your Christmas?" Without hesitation, I said "Fabulous!"  Wait a second, I spent about 7 days of my 12 day holiday with my family in Pittsburgh with the flu...throwing up and all the other happenings that occur when sick. (I will spare you the details.) As I write this letter, there is part of me that says, "Really Marla, you were puking your guts out? It SUCKED! Don't 'try' to make it positive." Yes! Being sick was NO fun, but in hindsight, I was given a great opportunity to release everything that was non-integrated and undigested physically and symbolically. I was arriving in 2015 fresh with clean slate. There were some days after the active sickness where my body wanted NOTHING! Although at times I was extremely hungry, my body would reject it. It reminds me of times I let go of undesired beliefs, behaviors or relationships. The tendency is to hurry up & fill the space with something new and different or better. When in actuality, I need to sit in emptiness, I need to integrate the pause, the new awareness. Being sick wasn't fun. But I do feel lighter, clearer, & more available for the newness of the year. I feel hopeful. I don't recommend getting sick to feel hopeful or clearer. However, if you do; pause and look a little deeper, and if possible, allow your experience to enrich your life. Love, Marla LIVING LIGHT REIKI CIRCLE Wednesday January 28th @7:30-9:00pm Learn more about Reiki, Share in a guided meditation, Experience a Wellness Circle, & receive a mini Reiki session.

INTRODUCING THE REIKI MASTER CANDIDATES FOR 2015

INTRODUCING THE REIKI MASTER CANDIDATES FOR 2015

Dear Reiki Community, I am pleased to introduce the new Living Light Reiki Master Candidates for 2015. These 7 beautiful women have chosen to embark on a journey of the soul, heart, mind and body! They will be diving into the energy of reiki to experience all of its gifts and blessings. Through reiki they will have an opportunity to look deeply into their lives and make choses that will allow them to live a life of their dreams. I will lead them through an immersion of reiki in order to experience the spiritual and practicalities of being a Reiki Master. It is structured with a focus on personal growth, healing, and expansion. It is a time of commitment not only to Reiki, but also to themselves. They will have the opportunity to immerse their lives with Reiki energy. They will also learn tools to teach Reiki to others . I am reaching out to ask for encouragement for our journey. Please send them Reiki and prayers to support our Reiki Master Immersion! Click HERE to send a word or 2 of support! Love, Marla PS Including me, we are 8~ We are calling ourselves the INFINITY SISTERS!!!

LIVING LIGHT REIKI MASTER CANDIDATES Jessie Santiago   I'm a hairstylist of 11 years. I absolutely love my career. I began informally studying reiki a few years ago and decided to commit to a "formal" education for 2 main reasons. 1. To harness my clairvoyance ability. 2. To better my relationship with myself and others. My intention for this reiki master class is to be able to teach and share reiki with as many people as possible. I love teaching and sharing knowledge. I also believe the more people who practice reiki the better! Reiki helps bring out our inner beauty very much like hairdressing. It just makes sense to me! Donna Martley For a living; I work as a free-lance bookkeeper.  In my life I am a compassionate and loyal friend. In my heart; I am a wife; mother; daughter; sister and aunt.  In my soul; I am a Reiki practitioner.  My intention with the Reiki master program is to continue to evolve into a more complete woman who embodies the essence of Reiki. Carmen Wolflisberg Rios I am an adventurous soul that lives on a tiny island in Puget Sound. I am passionate about animals and nature and the beautiful tall Douglas firs and cedars here on the island. I work at the Whale Museum & I'm passionate about whale preservation. I feel that is where the Reiki Maser Program will come in play. Reiki changed my life, made me stronger, calmer, more confident and overall a better person. And the journey has just begun and continues with the Reiki Master Class. It is time to delve even deeper into me and what makes me tick and I am excited to share the experience with my fellow Reiki Master Classmates and my beautiful Reiki Master.  LIVING LIGHT REIKI MASTER CANDIDATES Emily Baldoni A swede who came to the States to express my creativity and follow my dreams both in acting and life. A lover of traveling, connecting with old and new friends, reading books, doing life with my hubby, and exploring the mysteries of the Universe :) In love with the warmth and love of reiki. My intention for taking the Reiki Master Class is to learn how to be of service in healing for others, because I can't think of a better thing to learn... Sunny Henderson I am Sunny. I started my Reiki journey in January 2009. i was looking for balance and support and found the loving Reiki energy flow. Reiki as a healing modality appeals to me as a nurse and as an empath because it is channeled and not reliant upon my own energy stores. My intention for taking the Reiki Master class is to grow in my Reiki practice and as an individual. Azure Darby Me, I am a woman, an aunt, sister, nurturer, lover and spiritual seeker.  I am passionate about love, being of service to others and all things spiritual.  My background is in Social Work/mental health.  I am currently an Adjunct Lecturer, teaching Masters level social work courses. I love Reiki because it is and feels like love....pure, powerful, unconditional love.  It's a major tool and gateway towards expansion and deep healing on all energetic levels.  My intention for the Reiki Master class is to be in a state of allowing for my own personal healing process & life purpose as a channel for the healing of others. LIVING LIGHT REIKI MASTER CANDIDATES Haydee Tanori I am Haydee Tanori, in the process of attuning to Reiki Master. A 27 year old L.A. native my passions and interests include painting, reading, gardening, jigsaw puzzles, the beach (all nature, really!), and of course, spening time with my amazing three year old doing any of these! Becoming a Reiki Master means diving into new layers and depths of the self, of other, and the Universe. This concept has been healing and revealing in all aspects of my life. Reiki feels like home to me, and I want to be able to offer other people in our Tribe of Gaia the opportunity to feel that. ~ Bright Blessings! Marla Mervis-Hartmann My role in this Reiki Master Immersion Process is to support, encourage and assist in these 7 Women's Reiki Journey! Along the way, I am completely transformed; gently pressed, squeezed and loved by this healing reiki energy. Including myself we are 8! So we are calling ourselves the INFINITY SISTERS!!"

How to Love Your Body Love Yourself? Workshop in LA June 22

Reconnect to Your Body After Birth!

Reconnect to Your Body After Birth!

Most mamas complain of feeling heaviness, lethargy, and exhaustion after giving birth. And because pregnancy can really take a toll on women, many mamas feel uncomfortable in their new bodies.  There is a new relationship that needs to occur. Parts of the body don’t look, feel or work the same.

Having a movement practice that is consistent and loving is important for the health of a mother on all levels~ physical, emotional and spiritual.

Movement options are plentiful~ daily walks, going to the gym, hiking, dancing, yoga, aerobic class.  Personally, I have found a lot of healing from yoga and dance.  These practices allow for an opportunity for personal expression and can be enjoyed with other women or alone. Also, I have been able to do these practices with my baby. Staying connected with their babies while doing a movement practice can be key for many mothers.

Yogic practices are great for helping women find their core again. Many women suffer from rectus diastis or weak abdominals and pelvic floor. Working with a teacher or coach that specifically supports women with these issues is a great way to reconnect with your body and for many women build an even stronger connection with their bodies.

Starting a movement practice soon after giving birth is very important. If not, many women miss the opportunity to restore a gateway to stability in the body, and later they may find themselves hampered by weaknesses in the pelvic floor and abdominal wall. 

Of course, there is a rest period that is essential for the mama to take after the birth. And it is always important to check with your midwife or doctor before you start back to an exercise regime.  Each mother will have a specific time that is perfect for her body.

Many women say that there is not enough time in the day to exercise. However, mama's health is so important for the family as a whole ~ if mama ain’t happy, ain't nobody happy. The mother can be the sole heart beat of a family. Keeping that ‘heartbeat’ pumping with vitality is essential. So call Wise Women at 541.772.2291 and register for my Mama Movement class. Your whole family will be glad you did!
