Deepen your mindfulness practice for you and your clients. Learn how to guide people in mindfulness – connected to their body, breath, the mind and spirit while processing limiting thoughts, feelings, beliefs and loving and accepting the self.

Mindfulness Meditation & Guided Imagery are forms of healing that can positively affect the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person.

Research shows that Meditation & Guided Imagery can give a person a greater sense of control, increase self confidence, assist with fear, panic, anxiety, helplessness, uncertainty, trauma, loss, and grief, increase relaxation, decrease depression, decrease stress, decrease pain, decrease nausea, decrease blood pressure, prepare for medical procedures, decrease respiratory difficulties, decrease medication side effects, improve immune system, improve healing and recovery time, decrease hospital length of stay, enhance sleep, strengthen connection to spirituality, meaning, and purpose in life, improve functional outcomes, and improve quality of life.

It is now a well accepted that our emotions can affect our physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being. Always feeling or never feeling our emotions can negatively impact health and well-being.

Testimonials

“I loved the course. Interactive Mindfulness Meditation: Emotion & Healing was an amazing journey to learning both meditation and how to guide meditation on a therapeutic level. I feel I could use these techniques on clients immediately following the course and continue to refine my skills.” Kelly Weltz, OT

“Besides experiencing it first hand by being guided by Emmy and classmates in this course and having it assist me with my own emotions and self healing; I also got to experience the healing of others through guiding them and observing others guide each other in the class. This was by far my favorite class in the Holistic Healing Certificate Program! I highly recommend taking this course.” Heather Falanga, OTR/L

“The powerful combination of the Emotional Clearing book by John Ruskan and Emmy’s Interactive Mindfulness class and has made a profound impact on my personal journey of healing. I gained access to my unresolved, suppressed unconsciousness in a safe compassionate manner that promoted healing. While experiencing my own healing, I learned to guide others in similar experiences. I look forward to using these techniques professionally in both the SNF and transitioning to private practice. I highly recommend this class to any practitioner seeking to assist others in healing.” Ryan Porritt MSOT, OTR/L
