In these stressful times, we all could use more tools for centering and maintaining or restoring calmness. This link will take you to a free 7 page PDF booklet called ‘The State of Ease’ from Heart Math, which has an easy technique for calming and centering. Heart Math invites you to share it with others, just as I am doing with you.

Drumming is one of the joys in my life. I am co-leader of a monthly drum circle, go to a monthly full-moon spiritual drumming event, and just went to a workshop to make an elk hide drum. What fun! 
Here are a couple of photos from the Level 1 Healing Touch class which I coordinated last month. Hope you enjoy them.
