BELARÔME

 

INTRODUCTION

More and more researchers are discovering what diverse spiritual traditions have known for centuries: generating feelings of loving kindness in the heart can bring calmness, ease conflictual emotions, improve health and relations with others, and help overcome the barriers to connection. HeartMath Institute studies, done since the 1980s, confirm that when we feel positive emotions our physiology is immediately and beneficially affected. More recent research in neuro-cardiology has revealed the existence of the “Heart Field’, the powerful electro-magnetic field of the heart that is much more powerful than that of the brain; the research concretely demonstrates that we are indeed interconnected with others energetically and that the emotions of others affect our health and that our feelings affect theirs.

 

DESCRIPTION

This special course will help you combat stress, connect with your positive heart energy, and enhance your innate capacity for Loving Kindness through a blend of ancient and modern practices. During six three-hour sessions, you will learn a traditional yet timeless meditation from the Buddhist tradition that nurtures your capacity for Loving Kindness; this can enable you to move more deeply into your heart and connect better to yourself and the different people in your life. Practicing this meditation is open to all and requires no religious belief or adherence! Alongside this meditation, you will learn some simple, contemporary, HeartMath® techniques designed to bring you directly into Heart Coherence, a state of flow and well-being.  One of the unique aspects of this meditation group is that all participants will be using the innovative, self-monitoring HeartMath® biofeedback system, a simple–to–use, mobile technology that will monitor your heart in order to help you learn to achieve personal coherence and remain there while meditating and during stressful activities throughout your day-to-day life. This powerful combination of time-honored tradition with the latest developments in medical science makes this a course that you will not want to miss.

 

The course will take place at BelArome Holistic Centre in NDG, Montreal for 6 weeks starting on Monday, October27 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM if you already have and know how to use the HeartMath® emWave technology.  For those who do not yet have an emWave biofeedback machine, you will have to attend an Introductory session on Monday, October 20 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.

COURSE FACILITATORS: 

 

Wendy Ayotte, Holistic Practitioner

 

Twenty years ago I was introduced to Loving Kindness meditation at a Buddhist retreat and felt a powerful connection to this practice.  Many years later I was fortunate to be able to guide loving kindness practice at a Montreal meditation centre. I very much look forward to sharing this heartfelt practice with you in tandem with the Heart Math approach. 

 

I have always been curious about what makes human beings tick and how we can heal and find peace in the face of life’s many trials!  Before becoming a therapist, I worked for 25 years as an animator, counselor, policy advocate and researcher with and for vulnerable groups: people with Down’s syndrome,  children  in daycare, women and children leaving domestic violence, refugee and migrant youth.  While living in the UK, I obtained a diploma in psychology from the University of London, and trained in a form of acupressure called Shiatsu.  As a certified Flower Essence and Matrix Reimprinting practitioner, I specialize in emotional release and transformation in areas such as childhood trauma and recovery, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress reduction and nicotine addiction. In working with people I also use and teach tools to reduce stress and release negative emotions such as the Sedona method, EFT, the Work of Byron Katie and Lifestream breathing. I love working with people on their voyage of inner discovery. You can find out more about my services at www.easeyouremotions.com.  I can be reached at wayotte@videotron.ca or 514 277 1298.

 

Dr. Sheryl Beller-Kenner, Certified HeartMath Coach & Naturopath

 

Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, “A weed is a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered”,  I have spent much time over the past 20 years making healing preparations from the gifts of the  plants. And I have discovered, “If you listen, they will teach you.”

 

Learning is about mindful listening. I have received my naturopathic training from various places in order to develop a well-rounded approach to complementary health care. I received my certification as a Chartered Herbalist (designation of CH) from Dominion Herbal College in British Columbia, Canada, as an aromatherapist who does aromatherapy massage (designation of CAHP) from Ontario, Canada, as a foot reflexologist (designation of RCRT) and a Level II Reiki practitioner, from here in Montreal, Canada.  My work in Spiritual Phytoessencing with Dr. Bruce Berkowsky and earned designation as a registered Spiritual PhytoEssencing practitioner(R.SPE.P.) and Group Training Leader, has taught me how to take my work with essential oils and with clients to a much higher, much more spiritual level. In addition, my training as a Certified HeartMath Provider has given me the tools to help all of my clients and students relieve the stress that causes emotional, physical, mental and spiritual imbalances. I am currently a member in good standing of five professional organizations in order to stay current in my field and to support the professionalism and standards of CAM.

 

Teaching is also about mindful listening. For over 35 years, I have been teaching people of all ages all over North America. I currently offer introductory and professional certification courses in aromatherapy, herbology and reflexology right here in Montreal.

 

Working with clients is also about heart-based listening. In addition to being the full-time director of BelArôme Holistic Health Centre and the Montreal HeartMath Stress Reduction Clinic, I run a thriving private practice. I support all of my clients in getting in touch with their hearts and the ‘small spark within’ and showing them how this can lead them to a well-balanced, calm, healthy lifestyle.

 

If we open our minds and our hearts, we will discover that we have everything we need right here in front of us. Join me! You can find out more about my services at www.belarome.com. I can be reached at sheryl@belarome.ca or on 514 481-9355.
