This course provides all one needs for a lifelong practice leading to greater well being in all aspects of life.

New students in Eric’s course must enroll for all four sessions. Graduates of Eric’s meditation courses may attend on a drop-in basis.

There is evidence of shamanic practices in most all of the world’s cultures. Britannica Online says it may originate as early as the Paleolithic period, predating all organized religions. Shamans throughout history have been healers and intermediaries. Controlled studies, by organizations like Kaiser Permanente, have found shamanism to be remarkably effective in healing.

This four-session course teaches the art of the shamanic journey and exercises in intuition to open the doorway to moving and enlightening experiences. Past participants have reported valuable and healing insights. There are no beliefs required nor are there any physical or mental abilities required. New students in Eric’s course must enroll for all four session.

Are you sedentary and working hours at a computer?
Do your hips feel rusty or stuck?

All of us need to keep our hip joints aligned and greased and oiled all though life for maintaining our circulation and muscular – skeletal integrity from our hip to our feet and from our hips to our head. When your thighbones are restricting your movements, it is usually because they are stuck in some position in the hip joint. This class will explore all the possible movements and connections of how to work the hip joint to the thighbone.

Mastering Meditation with Eric Orkin

View Flyer | About Eric Orkin

Doctors tell their patients to meditate for its many health benefits. People who practice meditation regularly attest to its mental, emotional, and spiritual transformative effects. Yet, meditation is not widely practiced because it is largely misunderstood. This course makes meditation available to anyone, regardless of age or physical fitness. Here are some of the facts:

Meditation is done sitting in a comfortable chair. No yoga postures or breathing exercises.
Everybody has a mind that jumps from one thought to another. No mind control or concentration. Meditation is easy to do.
Some people gave up on meditation because they tried it and fell asleep. Sleepiness in meditation is common, especially when starting the practice. Sleepiness is not a problem.
Meditation is not a religion; it is a type of mental activity with beneficial effects, just as are sleeping or dreaming.
Religious people find meditation deepens their beliefs and enhances their understandings.
No particular beliefs required. Exercise works whether you "believe" in it or not, so does meditation.~ ~Skeptics welcomed.

Shamanism opens the doorway to the intrinsic unity and integrity of the universe and to ourselves as integral parts of that whole. There is evidence of shamanic practices in most all of the world’s cultures.

Britannica Online says it may originate as early as the Paleolithic period, predating all organized religions, and certainly as early as the Neolithic period. Shamans throughout history have been healers and intermediaries to other worlds. Controlled studies, by organizations like Kaiser Permanente, have found shamanism to be remarkably effective in healing.
