Clearing the Blocks, 3-5pm. Presence of Mind Wellness Center, 142 High Street, Suite 531, Portland. Do you feel frustrated by the law of attraction? That it doesn't seem to "work" or maybe isn't real? We often block what we seek at a deep, subconscious level with pre-existing beliefs, often instilled in us at a young age. It can take a lot of re-pro- gramming of our thoughts and "false stories", and establishing new brain patterns for new beliefs and thoughts to create a new vibra- tion. In this workshop, we will explore how the law of resonance works, and how our limiting beliefs can flatten our vibration. We will go deep into the layers of subconscious stories we all carry, beginning the process of first identifying and then separating them through 1) meditation, 2) visualization and 3) writing. $40 (sliding scale options avail- able for discounts, please contact us to work something out!). Call 207-229-3444 for more information and to register.
