Description :

Tapping (EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique) is the process of tapping on certain energy centers of the body, similar to acupressure or acupuncture.  As you tap you repeat certain phrases of acknowledgement and acceptance of what you are experiencing in the moment. It's a really powerful stress relief technique that offers an opportunity to self-soothe and regulate emotions, and signal safety to the body. When these certain energy points are stimulated, it reduces heart rate and shuts off the fight or flight response in the body's nervous system. After this class, participants will be able to take this tool with them to use whenever they are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, needing to break patterns, phobias, or to temporarily relieve pain. Led by Amy Rutledge this is an opportunity to experience a tool for stress relief that will help participants focus on gratitude and joy during this holiday season. No prior experience necessary. Amy Rutledge came to the study of meditation as a path toward personal healing after struggles with the effects of Lyme Disease as well as depression and anxiety and found that it helped her in ways when many other approaches failed. This led her to training as a Mindful Meditation Teacher at the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science in Manhattan. She has taught classes and led meditation exercises for a wide range of business and cultural institutions, from IBM, NACTO, and Jet.com (Walmart) to the Girl Scouts of America and the public institutions such as the Los Angeles and Jersey City Public Libraries. Ms. Rutledge brings to her classes and workshops a graciousness for the second chance that mediation has given her and a passionate desire to aid others with their suffering as she has similarly been aided. She has an expertise in Loving-Kindness/Metta meditation and skills in leading meditation toward mindfulness, self-healing, self-worth and creative visualization. In addition to her skills with mindfulness and meditation, she has significant experience in the arts as an actress and producer, as well as experience as a ceramicist and owner at RoughWare.
