Energetic Meditation 

to Shift Energy

​

Starting with the here and now - we begin every morning connecting with our bright energy; we establish solid ground and deep roots - we open space to flow into awareness, through breath work, connecting our vital Qi energy; we shape with peace, grace and character, the strength of every morning.

​

Antonio has a PhD, he is an artist, educator, activist and eco-psychologist who believes art is an opportunity to create new understanding, to shift common ground, to communicate things that are hard to say. He lives in Puerto Rico where he writes about and takes photos of the wonder of awe we are witnessing on our shared planet.

"Transformation is something that I try to keep as home."

Mary Ellen Hannon

Dynamic Movingness &

Fascia Fitness Flows©

​

Mary Ellen directly addresses mind/body integration. This dynamic movement practice is designed to nurture your inner child and revitalize your liquid crystal matter (fascia). When your fascia is strained or restricted you may simply feel out of tune. Easing the strain and pain caused from dehydrated fascia is accomplished with organic Self Myo-fascial Relief using your own body weight and counterweight in a dance with gravity while you track sensations. This allows you to make Active Choices to Ease Up or Amp Up in the moment to interrupt your habitual patterns.

 

Perhaps you aspire to reclaim lost parts of yourself. Mary Ellen guides you while providing coherent tools that shape-shift you from the inside out. Spontaneity allows the body to find what feels effortless and good in the moment through slowing down enough to explore your restrictions, pain and emotions. Instead of dismissing them, you make time for them; you give them focused attention. You may get a glimpse of them dissolving away. Your physical/psycho sense of self remembers easier ways of being and doing. You begin to pattern interrupt. This practice reawakens that sense of awe you experience in nature.
