RED CIRCLE HEALING WORKSHOPS –
Each Red Circle Healing workshop is 2 days long. You will be setting and healing your individual goals through-out the workshops. You will feel noticeable shifts each time. These shifts will accumulate throughout the course and build into a permanent, positive, energetic life shift. You will automatically become more self-aware with each shift. There will be huge amounts of growth, healing and reorganization within your body, mind and soul and because of this, Cindra will be recommending homework in between workshops. She would also encourage everyone to work at their own pace. Some will want to take the courses slowly. These are designed for your own growth and can be used to enhance your work, home, relationships with children and spouses as well as your creative, imaginative and impressive lives.
Cindra put these workshops together after clients and students asked her to teach them how to do what she does. After much thought, meditation and guidance (years actually) these workshops were created. Red Circle Healing, to Cindra means to set an intent or goal, lie down and allow the healing energies of the Universe to heal. It is simple. She found that a lot of clearing, cleansing, knowing, experiencing must take place before healers can feel, understand, know, hear, see all the layers that are being healed. She also found that those receiving healing after all of the clearing, cleansing, knowing and experiencing of the courses had a profound improvement in the depth, understanding, and cosmic shift of their own healing experiences in their personal practices and the work they did with other healers and teachers.
AWAKENING (everyone welcome)
You will receive a comprehensive workbook for you to keep and refer back to anytime you want!

RED CIRCLE HEALING – Level 1
INTENTION (prerequisite: Awakening)
In this workshop you will experience:
There is much laughter in this workshop.
Dates and Pricing:
April 14 and 15 2012
RED CIRCLE HEALING – Level 2
CREATIVITY (prerequisite: Intention)
In this workshop you will experience:
This work centers on the first three chakras of our bodies. The root energies for these three chakras are acceptance, creativity, and commitment. The goal is physical freedom. Until the places in us that did not receive love are healed, we are not free to completely accept, create, and commit to our true nature.
We will heal deep seated blocks and limitations. The work that has been done in the first two workshops allows us to dive into deep waters.
RED CIRCLE HEALING – Level 3
VULNERABILITY (prerequisite: Creativity)
In this workshop you will experience:
This is fourth and fifth chakra work. The root energies for this workshop are compassion and truth. We are going to explore, heal, and ultimately replace negative emotions with positive ones. Breath work is the main healing tool used to take in and absorb all of the energies around us, and then release everything that we no longer need or want.
RED CIRCLE HEALING – Level 4
IMAGINATION (prerequisite: Vulnerability)
In this workshop you will experience:
This is seventh chakra healing. This beautiful workshop is a result of all of our healings in the first four workshops. The root energy is boundlessness and this is where grace lives. It is about our purpose in being, our connection to all, and the beauty of life. We will grow your connections to your guides or angels or inner knowingness or all of the above. We will honour and celebrate your personal spiritual beliefs if you already have them, or help you find who or what you can connect to.
RED CIRCLE HEALING – Level 5
FEARLESSNESS (prerequisite: Imagination)
In this workshop we will set advanced and specific goals to help you move forward by using:
This workshop is a flow of all of the chakras. It is about personal power, strength, energy, and how we walk on this Earth as human beings. It is a unity of feminine energies in a positive, healing, cohesive circle. We will find strength and courage and wisdom to be ourselves as we know ourselves so far. We will be practicing non-resistance to healing, allowing enthusiastic energies to flow in the group and completing this process of becoming peace, vibrancy, joy, compassion, love, and passion (fearless).
Breath Work
Analom-Veelom Pranayama - Also known as Nadi Shodana Pranayama and alternate nostril breathing. We automatically change the primary nostril we breathe through every one to two hours. Breathing through the right nostril stimulates the left side of the brain and activates your Sun energy. The right nostril governs the sympathetic nervous system. This energizes you and determines your projection (initiating action and outward interactions). Breathing through the left nostril stimulates the right side of the brain and activates your moon energy. The left nostril governs the parasympathetic nervous system. This calms you and determines your receptivity (open to receiving and internal interactions). So alternate nostril breathing is both calming and energizing.
The thumb of the right hand is placed lightly on the right side of the nose and the ring finger on the left side of the nose (they will remain in contact with the nose throughout as they create a subtle pressure that causes a lengthening of breath). After a long exhale through both nostrils, block the left nostril with your ring finger and inhale through your right nostril. Then block both nostrils and hold your breath for as long as it is comfortable. Energetically speaking this pause in breathing directs the prana into the channel that runs through the center of the spinal cord. The more you learn to direct the prana into the channel the deeper your meditation experience becomes. When it is time to exhale you block the right nostril and breath out through your left nostril. Keep this block on the right nostril and breath in. You then block both and next exhale is with the left nostril blocked. You stay with this alternating process for the duration.
Bhastrika Pranayama - Long, deep breathing. It involves breathing slowly and deeply from the abdomen up deep into the chest allowing the chest to rise and fully receive the complete inward breath. Then exhaling slowly, expelling all air and pulling your navel back towards your spine. Slowing the breath changes brainwave patterns and produces calmness, gentle euphoria and patience. When you slow the breath to eight breaths per minute you move into a meditative state. When you slow the breath to six breaths per minute the pituitary gland is stimulated and when you slow it for four breaths per minute the pineal gland activates the crown chakra
Kapaalbhanti Pranayama – Breath of Fire is done with powerful deep breaths. The navel is pulled in sharply during exhale and inhale then occurs automatically producing a strong rhythmic breath. It is sometimes easier to learn while breathing through the mouth and hearing the sound of the breath and then when comfortable start breathing through the nose. This detoxifies the body, energizes, warms the body, increases oxygen delivery to the brain therefore rejuvenating neurons and balances on a core level.
Burmese Buddhist Breathing Technique – It is unknown what the proper Sanskrit name is for this pranayama so my teacher (NamaDeva) simply calls it Dr. Wright’s cleaning out technique. He was taught this technique by Dr. Leon Wright during the 1970’s. Dr. Wright was an African American graduate of Harvard University in the 1930’s which was highly unusual at the times. He was a Doctor of Divinity and one of the first African American’s to become a cultural attaché for the Foreign Service Core. He was sent to Burma where he was invited by the Head Abbott of the nearest Buddhist Temple to attend a meditation with the monks every morning. This is the breath technique that they practiced for the two years he was there. When he came back to teach at Howard University in Washington, D.C. he shared it with others. NamaDeva (Thomas Ashley Ferrand) teaches it exactly as he was taught by Dr. Wright.
Meditation
I use a wide variety of meditations; guided, silent and walking meditations. We always meditate after pranayama but sometimes it is needed for the healing process on its own. Some of my favorites are Louise Hay’s positive affirmations, Ted Andrews power animals, Layne Redmond’s walking meditations. Sometimes it is appropriate for me to guide the meditation and sometimes it is with specific music such as Ancient Elders Chants of North America, chakra healing music, Nawang Khechog, R. Carlos Nakai and many more. Other times the meditation is silent with attention on breath and eyes looking at the tip of the nose or looking inward at the third eye. There are also meditations laying down as opposed to a seated pose where the purpose is to integrate all senses, changes to physiology and emotions.
Journeying
I was originally taught to go on a journey with archiologist/shaman Laureen Rama where I felt a sense of coming home and finally for the first time in my life that I was doing something I was born to do. It was a completely natural thing for me to do. I remembered doing something very similar as a child. I also worked with other shaman teachers. The way of the shaman did not attract me like the healing work did so I accepted the gift of leading journeys as a tool for workshops. I was given permission to lead others on their journeys with this purpose in mind. We do traditional journeying accompanied by drumming to the lower realm (looks exactly like earth) or to the upper realm (very abstract and etheral) or a non-traditional journey I call a gift balance. We begin with a 3-dimensional repatterning. This is an Educational Kinesiology technique that stimulates and energizes first the right hemisphere of the brain and then the left hemisphere and then we integrate deep within the brain while journeying. The intent is determined before starting as to which existing or potential talent of ours we seek a deeper understanding. I have done this gift balance to expand and explore my gifts as artist, mother, wife, business person, etc. During the workshop the intent is usually related to the goal that the individual is presently working towards. Some participants have a very visual experience while for others it is an abstract, sensing experience and then there are some that feel as if they are in a deep meditative state (like they are sleeping but they can hear the drumming and are aware of their physical body).
Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K)
There is more specific information regarding Edu-K on the web site www.braingym.org. Edu-K was developed by Dr. Paul Dennison, an educational therapist, to promote whole brained learning through movement. Whole brained thinking leads to optimal performance in all areas – intellectual, creative, athletic and interpersonal. It merges learning theory by many specialists from behavior optometrists, child development experts, language specialists etc. with kinesiology. It is based on the principle that every one of us learns differently and therefore strives towards whole brained learning will be unique to the individual. Reduction or elimination of the stress of learning and participation in daily life activities allows the individual the freedom to become more of their true self. I was certified to teach brain gym, brain organizational profiles and vision circles. I no longer use the Edu-K system in its purity but it is the basis for most of my one on one sessions and teachings. I simply added all other healing modalities to the basic 5 step balancing process of Edu-K. We tune in, set a personal goal, we next determine which activity or healing modality will best support the healing required to achieve integrated ownership of our goal, we proceed with the activity and lastly we check in again and anchor the shift that occurred.
Besides using the basic 5 step protocol (in my personalized expanded version) we do include 3 dimensional repatterning, vision gym, acupressure points, learning style profiles and goal setting techniques in the workshops.
Yoga (Hatha, Kundalini, Yin and Chakra yoga)
The yoga that is done in the workshops is suited to all levels of ability. It can be altered to do while sitting in a chair and if this is too difficult, the student will be instructed in the art of doing yoga in their imagination. By visualizing a physical activity the brain sends almost the same number of neural signals as when we fully participate physically. This technique is used by many athletes. Cindra used it while healing a knee injury to speed up the healing process.
During workshops, yoga is used to enhance re-balancing the mind/body connections, stimulate the flow of energy to all of our organs, to rejuvenate, restore and replenish a natural sense of well-being, and to connect the breath (chi) to each and every cell in the body.
