New Services at BYSB: Introducing Shems Heartwell
New Services at BYSB:
Introducing Shems Heartwell
Great News!
A wonderful healing practitioner will be offering his services at the studio,
in our treatment room. Shems is a highly attuned and accomplished healer.
I have been receiving treatments from Shems for several years and his
treatments have been wonderfully effective for me.
When I hurt my back last month, I received three sessions from Shems and each one gave me about 30% reduction in my pain. And then the pain was gone!
When I am feeling like my immune system is struggling or I am having trouble sleeping, Shems is the one I call.
Not only does Shems have an amazing talent with Acupuncture, but he is also a certified Life Coach. His inquiry and support help me to explore whatever is coming up so I can get to the depths of it. I cannot recommend him highly enough and I am very excited that he is going to be a part of the community here and hopefully you will all get to experience his presence.
Whether you would like a straight Acupuncture session or, if you are looking to incorporate Qi Gong or feel like a coaching session would support you, I encourage you to contact Shems and give yourself the experience of working with him.
For a limited time, Shems will be offering his services at a discounted rate for BYSB students.
75 minute sessions are $90 (normally $110)
Thanks and Blessings,
Mari

Rumi: The Guest House
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
