Canadian Alpine Ski Team Uses Feldenkrais(R)
More exciting news in the Feldenkrais Method (R). Here is a email I received on Sunday. As a result of the excellent work Kurt Kothbauer and Irene Gutteridge are doing with the National Ski Team, the benefits of FM are spreading around our ski world.
I received an email from the Coach of Ontario Women's Ski Team saying, "Feldenkrais is used by our National Team with a great deal of success". He came to class the other night and we have set up a series of classes exclusively for the Women's Team. Hans, if you are not familiar with them, you might be interested in two great articles Margaret McIntyre wrote for Skiing Magazine. Margaret, formerly of Vail, is a PT, Feldenkrais Practitioner and Ski Instructor.

Exercise of the Month
Pilates for Equestrian http://www.pilates.com/BBAPP/V/personal/pilates-equestrian-exercise.html
For those interested in increasing or becoming more aware of their intuition, there is a 1 day workshop March 11 from 10 - 5:30. Space is limited so please respond quickly. (If you would like me to forward the info to you please email info@stretchyourlife.com)
Saraswati Davies and Guy Letourneau (Naturopath and Hypnotherapist) have come together again to present a one-day seminar called Ask and You Shall Receive, which is designed to enliven the students' own psychic abilities.
Guy has created The Answers CD, which will allow participants of this new seminar to practice on a daily basis. Each participant will receive a copy of this amazing CD to take home and practice with.
Saraswati and Guy have designed a program that includes learning to see auras, energy work, meditation, as well as interesting discussions on dream analysis and creative visualization.
Saraswati also discusses the tools connected with spiritual counseling such as astrology, tarot, and channeling.
Saraswati teaches the techniques, which, if practiced, will enhance spiritual and psychic abilities, producing spiritual answers for the questioner.
In this one-day seminar, participants will examine the following aspects of psychic and spiritual awareness. Participants will be given the opportunity to experience these aspects for themselves. This workshop will be both experiential and instructional.

VisionaryThis is the ability to transform thought forms into a vision, symbol, or a specific colour by using the mind’s eye and correctly interpreting the vision. This part of the course will awaken our ability to see and read auras. We will examine the chakra system and its colours, their meanings and their relationship to our spiritual, psychological, emotional, and physical health. We will also examine the Dream State and its importance to clairvoyance. Students will learn to keep a dream journal. We will discuss symbols and their meanings. We will also learn “grounding and protection techniques”, which are essential tools when attempting to work on the vibrational level.
PropheticDescribed as the ability to pick up a thought and just “know it”. This ability makes one sensitive to precognition and produces hunches, dreams and “knowings”. Adepts at this practice work to become clear channels and receive their information directly from The Universal Source. They pick up the Akashic record of emotions past, present, and future. This ability allows the clairsentient to capture the energy signal of those emotions in the time-space continuum, thus producing images and “intuitive knowing”. Some describe this practice at its most basic as simply seeing red flags or hunches.We will look at the use of Tarot Cards and their symbolic journey to the rediscovery of the past, the situational content of the present, and the predictive probabilities of the future. The future, although probable, is malleable by its creator.
FeelingThis ability allows one to pick up a thought and transform it immediately into a feeling. The sense of touch is well developed; thus the Feeler has the ability to know people by feeling the vibrations they receive. In combination with other skills, a feeling clairsentient can tell the past, present, or future from the vibrational energy they perceive. We will explore the science of psychometry, which allows the student to learn how to pick up vibrational impressions from inanimate objects. We will also return to our discussion on the various techniques of protection and detachment when attempting these practices.
About Saraswati Davies
Saraswati’s formal career into the Para-normal began twenty-five years ago.
At the age of twenty-eight, Saraswati had a near-death experience, which changed the course of her life.
Saraswati studied parapsychology and philosophy; and started reading tarot cards on a regular basis.
Saraswati’s formal career into the Para-normal began twenty-five years ago.
At the age of twenty-eight, Saraswati had a near-death experience, which changed the course of her life.
Saraswati studied parapsychology and philosophy; and started reading tarot cards on a regular basis.
Her teacher in those years was a world class expert on Dream Analysis, June Mewhort, and from her, Saraswati learned spiritual philosophy and the art of dream divination.
Simultaneously, she studied with Astrologer, Robin Armstrong. Over the next four years she delved into the world of planets and predictions.
Saraswati’s very first tarot party was at the home of Senator Keith Davie and his wife Judge Dorothy Davie. She has been reading and guiding people of position and celebrity ever since.
Saraswati continued to work with clients and started teaching spiritual development and philosophy in the mid-eighties. The trips to sacred sites and the Dolphin swims in the Gulf of Mexico, which she arranged for her clients, were one of the many highlights of those years. She enjoyed introducing her clients to their spiritual roots, while finding her own.

The trips to sacred sites and the Dolphin swims in the Gulf of Mexico, which she arranged for her clients, were one of the many highlights of those years. She enjoyed introducing her clients to their spiritual roots, while finding her own.
In 1988, she wrote and produced “Wishing Well,” a program of relaxation tapes and print. The program was designed to bring clarity to her readers and listeners.
Later she wrote, produced and appeared in her own TV show “ESP”. Saraswati wanted to get the word out to all those who would listen. This show featured interviews with prominent guests in the fields of alternative therapy and medicine.

1990 rolled around and Saraswati realized that she needed more education; if she were to continue to be effective for her clients and students, and so, she enrolled at Wilfred Laurier University and completed another degree, this time in Religion and Culture with a minor in Psychology.
Her curiosity leaned toward Psychology, Native American and Women’s Studies and she studied privately with the Wolf-Clan Mother on Six Nations in Brantford, Ontario. Sylvia Sandy mentored Saraswati until her own death, in 2004.
She left for Mexico, in 1996, and over the next two years she lived with the Huicholes; who initiated her into their medicine society. She returned: Tu-Tu Chenulawey – Grandmother White Flower who calls to you from the desert.
Upon her return, two years later Saraswati earned her degrees as a Reiki Master/Teacher.
The next few years found her in the middle of the crop circles in Southern England, collecting evidence that would hopefully help us to understand the real meaning and significance of these phenomena. Already a third degree priestess and hereditary initiate of the Old Religion, she thrived in the magical land of Ancient Avalon, and the land of her birth.

In 1998, Saraswati used her education in a different manner; she left Canada for Korea where she taught English in the land of Temples and Eastern Philosophy.
When she returned Saraswati joined the Lester B Person School Board and developed a program for ADD and ADHD kids.

In 2002, illness threatened to stop her from continuing with her work; however, she met Guy Letourneau who had enough internal fortitude and strength for both of them. Saraswati started her long road back to health.
Saraswati and Guy, co-produced and Aids Awareness docu-drama “Good Dogs Go To Heaven”; it premiered in 2003, in Montreal Quebec

Again, in partnership with Guy, “The Answers CD” was produced. This was an attempt to help her clients understand the process of “reading” for them selves.
Saraswati now lives in Southern Ontario, where she continues to study, teach and do readings.
Saraswati is currently studying with Swami Sai Premananda and counts herself very lucky to be doing so.
Create a month full of "action and vitality".
