Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, our perceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But some day the body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth." ~ Alice Miller ~ ====================================================== This Issue: 1.

The Emotional Release Workshop Takoma Park Chapel In this one-day workshop, you will learn how to process your feelings to resolution. Whenever you are stressed-out, upset, depressed, or off your Center, you will be able to open up and process what's churning inside. This naturally restores your inner Peace and vitality. You will also learn how to regress to past unresolved feelings and heal the original imprints and traumas at their source. This facilitates and accelerates your Spiritual healing and growth journey. This is a safe, experiential workshop where you go at your own pace in learning how to relax into, and process, your feelings. Chris Wright teaches emotional release processing around the country.
