TAROT: Learn to read the Tarot for personal insight and guidance

Shanon

Beginning Tarot will help you understand the meanings and messages provided by the Tarot. You will learn about the cards individually, and their written meanings and how to interpret them in a reading. You will also learn the basic Celtic Cross and the Single card spread. During the class you will gain hands on experience reading the cards for others so you may gain confidence and a relationship with your personal deck of choice. Simple meditations will be also taught in this class to help you connect with the tarot. The Beginning Tarot is a 5 week course of 1.5 hour classes at Soul & Spirit Center on Friday of each week. WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE CLASS You will need to bring your own tarot deck to work with. Any deck that has the 78 cards made up of the minor arcana and major arcana will be fine. Ryder Waite is a great place to start if you are not sure which to pick. Pad and paper will also be necessary to for notes. Comfy clothing so you will be relaxed. Class 1: 11/7 - PLAYING WITH THE MAJORS The first class will teach you about the Major Arcane cards, or the soul cards. You will not only learn what they mean but how they influence a spread and direction in which you the reading may be going. You will also learn the direct relationship between the Major Arcane and the Minor Arcane when you see them together. Class 2: 11/14 - IT'S A MINOR THING In this class we'll discuss the 'worker bees' of the deck. They tell you where you are at on earth in regards to: money or security, emotions or love; thoughts and you thought patterns and your decisions to take action or the creative process. Class 3: 11/21 - THE TEAM'S ALL HERE Now you are ready to start to read the cards and tell the story that is laid out in the spread. You will learn to interpret reversed cards and how to answer a specific question from any general spread that you may choose to use. In this class you will do readings for each other and see how quickly you will start to communicate with your deck and start to read from your intuition and not only the meanings in the book. Class 4: 11/28 - A FEEL FOR THE GAME In the final class you will be able to read with a new deck that is more free form if you like or use the same deck as previous weeks. This class will further strengthen your intuitive abilities so you will be able to pick up any oracle and drawn information from it. In this class you will come to realize that you are not limited by the images on the cards but in fact, you are reading intuitively from the basic energy of the person and situation they are asking about. This class will give the confidence to read any deck at any time and to trust your instincts when information comes to you. Optional: 12/?- AN AFFAIR FOR ALL Once the course is completed, we will hold a mini psychic fair to which you can invite your friends to come for readings - optional. Each graduate will be asked to invite a minimum of 2 people to come to the 'fair to experience readings from the different readers, giving everyone a chance to read for a couple of strangers and validate their new found skill as a reader. This fair will be held at The Soul & Spirit and the fee for people to attend will be $5 which will be split between the readers and the shop. I will be there during the fair as back up should something come up in a reading that they need more clarity with.

$110 for 5 week session

This book, originally published in 1984, has been translated into 29 languages, is available in more than 35 countries, and to date has sold more than 35 million copies around the world. Berkshire Soul & Spirit Center is proud to be the first screening site in Massachusetts and will donate 50% of the admission to the Hay Foundation.

Laughter Meditation

Kathi Casey 

Laughter is the best medicine. We all know that laughter makes us feel good. Besides being fun, laughter has great health benefits - both mental and physical. A regular 12 minute laughter session can have a profound impact on your health and well being. Laughter is gentle exercise. Further, it also enhances your core body work-out, fills your lungs and body with oxygen, clears your breathing passages, and exercises your lungs. This is really important for people who don't get regular aerobic exercise. Laughing Meditation makes you feel energized and refreshed. When we laugh our bodies release a veritable cocktail of hormones & chemicals that have a powerful effect. Stress is reduced, blood pressure drops, depression is lifted & immunity is boosted. Laughing just 10 minutes a day can decrease your risk of heart disease by 10%. Laughter releases endorphins and T-cells (T-cells are the little Pac-Men of the body that eat up bad cells like cancerous ones) Norman Cousins¿ account of self healing with laughter has inspired millions of people. Researchers at California¿s Lorna Linda University recently announced these findings at the 121st Annual meeting of the American Physiological Society: Laughing lowers levels of 3 stress hormones (dopac, cortisol, epinephrine) by 38, 39 and 70% respectively. Even anticipating laughter had the positive effect of boosting beta endorphins and human growth hormone which has a positive effect on immunity. Dr. Andrew Weill recommends laughter to lower levels of natural chemicals in the body which contribute to a series of health problems. Dr. R. Canterbury explains that laughter results in feedback to mood regulators in the brain. There is a fair amount of evidence now which suggests positive effects of laughter on the immune system. Dr. Andrew Weill has stated that laughing also raises our levels of Vitamin D, a vitamin that many of us are not getting enough of. We begin with some gentle stretching, then laughing meditation for 20 minutes, then deep relaxation. It's a great way to spend an hour and you'll feel so good afterward!

Reincarnation and more - free introduction

Rob Daugherty

Drawing on over 15 years of past life regression research and actual session experience, this lecture avoids the lengthy philosophical discussion and jumps right into the many, many fascinating examples of past life cases of karma and reincarnation.  By doing this, people attending the lecture can draw parallel conclusions that answer questions about their current situations and their likely past life experiences.

Using the case studies as examples, the discussion will cover the following topics:

* Brief explanation of karma and reincarnation
* The healing nature of discovering one's past lives
* Different types of karma
* That strangely familiar feeling - why you are drawn to certain people
* Methods to discover likely past life influences
* How to overcome and release karma
* How to use karma to enhance and better appreciate the gifts you already have
* Questions and answers

This discussion will be led by the owner of Berkshire Hypnosis, Rob Daugherty, who once had a past life as "that old, wise man with a twinkle in his eye who never talks unless someone asks him a question."  He is a former lecturer at Edgar Cayce's Association of Research and Enlightenment (ARE) in Virginia Beach and has given workshops on Relaxation/Meditation techniques and on Karma and Reincarnation. Rob's unique background as a hypnotherapist, teacher, engineer, father, musician, and writer combined with a Reiki Level II attunement brings a refreshing sense of practicality, creativity, and spirituality to this fascinating world of All That Is.
