The followup to the experience has been good. I learned a lot about the dynamic of attending to my emotions. Being more present them is helpful. I feel my growth will be measured by where I can go from there. It was a good experience.

I am pleased to say that I have not had a panic attack since the workshop! This is absolutely amazing to me. Thanks.
Stacy Moorman 04-2012
The workshop last weekend was incredible, and left me with an even deeper desire to maintain a regular practice. I still struggle with the discipline required to develop a new habit of daily meditation, but I am hoping to improve in that area, one moment at a time.
The book Source of Joy Within is great, I read the intro and the first set of reminders, and it really is helping me to be more mindful in my daily life of the seen and the unseen as well as the seer!
I appreciate your kindness and the beautiful energy you shared with us at the workshop.

I took the Total Dance last week with Pia and Leon and it was wonderful! It's been so long since I've been there. Pia showed me the music and I got one of Mongo's CDs. I love it.

About the Feldenkrais Method offered at the I.M.U.
I am very grateful for your helping me along on my journey to “free the rib.” Do you remember telling me about how you had a rib or joint move, unexpectedly, after several hours of practicing Feldenkrais movements? You’d mentioned that your energy improved dramatically. By following your advice of “focusing on my problematic/oft-stuck rib,” I’ve been able to move it a little better. While focusing on “the” rib, I try to lift that part of the rib where it attaches to my spine. At the same time I try to hold my shoulders down. Occasionally, I can hear it “crack” or “pop.” Most times I can’t hear or feel anything, but notice my energy, mood, and yes, even my confidence improves. To quote a worn-out saying, it’s a “game-changer” for me.
This method, although not as effective as I think possible, has produced dramatic results. My energy, overall, is a good 5% higher than my usual. That, in itself, is a major factor in living my life to the fullest. The $65 and eight or so hours invested in your class (Frankfort is a pretty good hike from your location) was money and time very well spent.

My meditation practice gets me through every day! It centers me and prepares me for making better choices, and most importantly, the sacred time spent with self is ultimately very healing.
Sheena
I thought I knew a bit about meditation when I started sitting at the I.M.U. sessions, but no, there are many levels! The more I sit, the more I realize I don’t know, so it’s easier to switch the focus and to learn to listen, be and be with it. This then can last all day.
This place – any place one meditates in – becomes sacred. That sacredness mirrors the sacredness within and helps one see better the sacredness in all life around. Meditating, dancing, meditating… and stepping back out into the world each morning has made a huge difference in my daily life.
Meditation is life-changing, anti-aging, building and uplifting.
Diane Ansel
The IMU has provided an environment in which I can contemplate and attain inner strength and peace. The meditations help me focus on what is truly important besides providing a pleasant atmosphere. Finally my experiences at the IMU have opened up another terrain that has given me insight into my own life, and the emotional and psychological experiences that I have been through

Clare, Aug 2010
My Heart sings when I sit together and afterwards we celebrate Life in Love, Joy of Being, alive in the dance of the moment…
A deep feeling of being at home embodied in unconditional love.
A safe haven to explore my life even deeper, with the different exercises that encourage to take chances and to allow more of the unknown.
A practical practice of every day life with a new awareness of yourself.
A sharing with friends in a deeper way.
A caring way in these sometimes challenging times.
Thank you for this space.
Pia
Since coming to the IMU and meditating regularly for one year now, I am learning to be more present throughout the course of the day. And doing so, I am more aware of its life-changing effects, and learning the art of finding that inner peace and joy. Through this connection with God, creator, or spirit I feel I am manifesting and attracting situations and experiences that are heart-driven and abound in love.
