Use Your Brain to Make a Change

In the past 20 years we have learned so many wonderful things about how the brain functions.  We have also learned how to use the brain in such a way that we can literally make things happen in our lives.  The heart beats so many beats per minute.  The brain vibrates so many vibrations per second.  We call these "brain vibrations" cycles per second.  When we are going about our daily routines we are usually functioning at the "Beta" state.  That means our brain is vibrating around 20 or mjore vibrations per second.  We can accomplish a great deal of work at this brain level.  We can also experience STRESS and ANXIETY at this level.

 

Beta waves are necessary for us to get our work accomplished but they are NOT what we need to heal our bodies, get new and creative ideas, learn faster, and have spiritual experiences.  In order to accomplish these tasks we need to learn how to slow down the brain waves to what is called the "Alpha" state.  Here is where we truly begin to create our reality.


We are all functioning at the alpha state immediately before we fall asleep and right after we wake up.  However, most people need training to learn how to access the Alpha stage any time they want.


On most Sunday evenings, Sr. Joan Marie offers a one-hour session to help you train your brain to work for you.  Each session will repeat the same exercise until you are able to reach this level on your own.  It is not necessary to attend every session (you may if you like) but five or six sessions would be a reasonable goal.


For reservations or more information please call Sister at 909-783-4121.  The sessions are held at:  12710 Blue Mountain Court, Grand Terrace, CA 92313.


Living Life To The Fullest


This is a ONE DAY retreat/workshop that can help you make positive changes in your life.  So often we believe that we can not become the person we want to be because of other people or the circumstances in our lives.


On this retreat you will discover that you can take charge of your life.  You will learn some practical techniques that will help you do things that you thought were impossible.


Sister Joan Marie combines Neuro Linguistics (NLP), psychology, religion, and prayer in such a way that people's lives have been empowered.  She also teaches you how to meditate using the Light of Christ as your focus.


An 80 foot Labyrinth is available for those interested.  Most retreats are held on Saturdays from 10am to 3pm.  (Groups can arrange for midweek retreats.)


For more information regarding schedule or to make reservations please call:  909-783-4121.  Sister is also available to come and speak at your parish, business or home.  Request more information when calling.



Holy Spirit Monastery is nestled in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains at the base of Blue Mountain.
