August 2010 Workshops,
Group Meditations,
and Programs
Dear Friends,
When life rocks our boats (and then some), it is not always easy to remember that we are exactly where we need to be. It can be incredibly helpful knowing that the event is not good or bad: It just is. Acceptance of reality can keep us from judging, from going into a tailspin of victimhood or some other flavor of fear. Acceptance feels so peaceful compared to, “This is wrong!” or “It should be some other way!”
Some of my biggest times of growth have been my biggest times of angst. I found that asking the question, “What is the lesson for me to learn in this situation?” may not be answered for days, months, or even years. I found that acceptance of reality is enormously helpful in bringing peace and inviting us to roll up our sleeves, find a new way to explore, to love, and to be loved.
As near as I can tell, life is about us evolving. Evolving is about learning, growing and expanding into greater and greater levels of awareness, truth, and consciousness. So when disturbances or turmoil touch your life, be gentle with yourself and know that you are safe to align your life with love. (And then you get to have a new experience with complete and total self-acceptance.)
Blessing of Love and Light to You All Ways,
Rita Henry

“The class will make a huge difference in peoples lives!!! I can attest to that!!!”
— John Phillips, Williamsburg, Iowa
“I just wanted to say that your class last week end in Charlottesville blew me away! I have been a Reiki practitioner for years, but your concepts of using intent to heal at a distance are a quantum leap above any hands on methods. I wanted you to know how much I learned. I must have taken 30 pages of notes. I am on the fourth reading of your book. I always get something new out of it. I have been using your check list to help my family and friends. Your clearing of the many things on the list from me has made me feel completely different. I feel more confident about life and that things will work out well.”
— Tim
“During the seminar at Poplar Grove Dec 5-6, 2009, you taught me how to get to my Medicine Place. You told us to pick someone to work on in our Medicine Place. I chose my boyfriend Scott. Scott had smoked cigarettes for 7+ years and it didn't look like he was going to stop any time soon. But, after putting him in the Medicine Place, Scott hasn't had a cigarette since December 5th. My intent was to ease his mind.
“I've had clean, good tasting water for about 4 months. I bought the Energizing Water II CD. Sometimes my water changes back to the way it was originally. But, all I have to do is play the CD, and after I have clean water again."

Forgiveness on the Night of the Full Moon
A juicy meditation guided by Rita Henry
Tuesday, August 24th, 2009 from 6:00 to about 8:00 p.m. at Inner Propserity, 2708 Grand Avenue in Des Moines.
The word “forgiveness” has to be one of the most misunderstood and misused words on the face of the Earth. Our culture teaches that we must ask others to forgive us in order to right something we’ve done wrong. And if someone else has wronged us, we’re told to forgive and forget — regardless if we want to or are ready to.
True forgiveness — deep forgiveness — is an inside job. YOU decide whether or not it happens regardless of what others think, say, or do. YOU decide when and how you tap into the awesome power of forgiveness.
Forgiveness has the power to melt resentment, dissolve anger, release blame, heal guilt, eliminate fear and, perhaps most importantly of all, open the heart to the soul and divine presence. This meditation will support you in freeing up space in your life. And it feels so good!
It’s $35. (Please see refund policy at the bottom of this page.)

Getting a Good
Night's Sleep
With Jackie Parker
Jackie Parker is a practicing Clinical Ayurvedic and Pancha Karma Specialist who graduated from the California College of Ayurveda, and the American Institute of Vedic Studies.
To find out more about Ayurveda and how you can incorporate it into your lifestyle, check out MotherofHealth.com.
Almost everyone has occasional sleepless nights and it’s usually never a happy place. Lack of sleep makes us feel lethargic, unable to concentrate, depressed, weak, grim, cranky and emotional. Most of us can deal with a night or even two nights of lost sleep, but sometimes it can extend into weeks, months and sometimes even years.
Insomnia can sometimes suggest the presence of other disorders and imbalances, but sometimes it’s just due to travel, sleeping in a unfamiliar place, working the night shift, overuse of caffeine, alcohol, extreme temperature or sometime just the inability to stop the mind. Insomnia can occur in people of all ages and all constitutions, but generally it is most common in women of Vata constitution over age 50.
Like everything else in Ayurveda, how much sleep we need depends what our dominant constitution is. Kapha constitutions require the most sleep to feel balanced, between eight to nine hours nightly. Pitta constitution require between seven and eight hours sleep and Vata types can function well with six to seven hours of sleep.
Ayurveda considers sleep (rest) one of the three pillars of good health (the other two are food (digestion) and sex (creativity). Let’s look at some Ayurvedic suggestions to minimize the chances of tossing and turning throughout the night.
- Keep a regular sleep schedule of going to bed before 10 pm. Ayurveda says that there are three master cycles or rhythms in each day. If you go to bed around this time, your body is under the influence of the Kapha dosha which has the qualities of heavy, slow and stable which is supportive of sleep.
- Follow an Vata pacifying diet and lifestyle program.
- Give yourself a full body abhyanga (self oil massage) paying particular attention to the head and feet. This is a wonderful nighttime practice for inducing sleep.
- Take a warm bath or shower to soothe vata. Also in cold climates or winter, make sure your feet are warm. It’s almost impossible to sleep with cold feet.
- A cocktail of warm milk and a pinch of cardamom really can promote peaceful sleep. Dr. Lad also suggests adding some nutmeg and crushed, blanched almonds to this for a variation. Or try a cup of our Vata Tea made with chamomile, licorice root, cinnamon, cardamom, orange peel and cloves with milk and honey.
- Ayurveda considers the following herbs useful for promoting sound, deep sleep and relaxation. Jatamamsi, Ashwagandha, Shakhanalpushpi, Chamomile, and Brahmi. Also, we carry a rasayana called Deep Sleep containing Jatamamsi, Valerian, Ashwagandha, Nutmeg and many more herbs that promote deep sleep and relaxation.
- Gentle pressure on the two marma points on each side of the temples with sandalwood oil or jatamamsi oil using alternating clockwise and counterclockwise circular movements may be useful.
- Schedule a shirodhara. Shirodhara is a slow continuous stream of warm oil that induces a mental state similar to a trance which creates a profound relaxation of the body and mind. It deeply relaxes and revitalizes the central nervous system.
- Use of essential oils like jatamamsi oil, lavender, neroli, nutmeg, valerian root, vetiver and chamomile.
- Practice So-Hum meditation. Follow your breath, and on the inhalation think “So” and exhale with “Hum” while keeping your attention on the area between your eyebrows known as the “third eye” is a deeply relaxing practice that promotes sleep.
- Avoid substances like caffeine, nicotine and alcohol which are stimulants. Also avoid mental strain and overstimulation at night. Loud music and violet movies all aggravate Vata.
- Avoid eating heavy meals. Ideally the last meal should be around sunset. It’s difficult to fall asleep if all your energy is tied up with digestion.
- Avoid sleeping during the day, but if you choose to nap keep it under 30 minutes.
If all this fails, just lie quietly in bed with your eyes closed with an awareness of your body. The worst thing you can do is worry that you won’t be able to function well the next day, which only creates more anxiety. Your body can rest and repair itself from resting quietly if you allow it to do so. Keep practicing the above recommendations and never resign yourself to insomnia even if you’ve had it for years.

Who Is This?
A poem by Rita Henry
I look in the mirror.
I don’t recognize this self.
Why?
New feelings.
New emotions.
New levels of intensity run through me.
Life intensified.
Hey, this is MY life!
It’s exciting.
At times it’s uncomfortable because it is new; unknown.
I am happy to be here.
Let me introduce myself.
I am Love.
