Harmonious Health
I told everybody they should have acupuncture and I would not hesitate to recommend Todd to all my friends and my pregnant clients. -GO, 40s, Midwife.
Todds methodology has seen improvements not only in the injury, but my overall wellbeing. - NH, 20s, Manager.
If you have not tried acupuncture for a wellness alternative, I thoroughly recommend Todd to take you through the acupuncture experience: you won’t be disappointed. - DS, 40s, Managing Director.
My time with Todd has been a journey which has not only taken me back to previous states of health, but also further beyond that point. - JM, 60s, Retired.
It was my first experience of acupuncture but I was put completely at ease and found that the pain and listlessness disappeared and I was reenergized! - LK, 20s, Mother.
Todd was so caring, easy to talk to, great sense of humour, always on time with appointments, I felt so relaxed; I really recommend him. - EB, 70s, Retired.
Working with Todd through my pregnancy was an excellent experience and I credit his expertise with helping me to cope mentally and physically with all those changes. - LK, 20s, Mother.
I was feeling very depressed about my health but now have a much more positive outlook and feel in control of how I am feeling. - CW, 60s, Retired.
The effect of Todd's acupuncture is as though the treated area, my wrist, was "dead" - but has come back to life! The effect is incredible. Thank you! - MS, 30s, Journalist.
I had never received acupuncture before, so was a little nervous at my first appointment. However, Todd, with his relaxed and compassionate demeanor, open empathetic communication style and obvious experience, quickly put my mind at rest. - CB, 20s, Ecology and Sustainability Teacher.
Meditation
Facilitator: - Todd W. Stewart
When: - Thursday evenings from 730 until 9pm (ish).
- (Please call first? It only happens if there are enough people into it.)
Where: - Upstairs at Harmonious Health, 344a Rosetta Rd, Raumati Beach.
What: - We (the participants), as a collective, share in a (roughly 90 minute) weekly,
evening meditation circle, or gathering.
- It is not a class, although those who participate will invariably learn from each
other as we share our own particular styles or foci of meditation and its friends,
and the experiences we have while playing/investigating/nothinging with these
resources, together.
- The intention is that these gatherings be light and enjoyable, that there be a
very loose, dynamic schedule to them. Nothing serious, nothing forced.
- People could come once a week or once a month or whever they feel like it or
can find the time in their busy schedule, or not at all - it's all good.
- Over the 90 minute duration, we have two meditations:
- The first is of a variable flavour/style/genre, different from week to
week depending upon who is present and who would like to share a
meditative technique or practice, ranging from (but not limited to) ritual,
guided, visualization, contemplation, mantra, mudra, qigong, reiki,
essence tasing, laughter, etc.
- The second to be of a "pure/clean," "no-mind," or "directionless"
meditation, where we sit in stillness and quiet and simply observe the
undulation of the infinite present moment...
How: - Arrival, how-do-you-do's.
- 1st meditation (up to 30 minutes).
- Cup of tea (see below), discussion of meditation.
- 2nd meditation (up to 30 minutes).
- Cup of tea, discussion of meditation.
- Who'd like to lead the first meditation next week?
- See-ya-laters, have-a-good-week's.
- NB: Cups of tea are not essential (although we could do a tea-ceremony one
time, perhaps), and it doesn't matter how much experience anyone has in any
of these meditative genres. People can share their experiences of the night, and
their own meditation techniques (as mentioned above), although, of course,
noone has to if they don't want to. Someone could come and be silent the
whole night, every week, it's all good.
Why: - To practice meditation more.
- To sit with fellow sitters and have a nice time.
- To discover some new, fun "techniques."
- To enjoy the combined vibe of people moving in similar direction.
Price: - $0! Yup, free.
