Meditation and Deep Relaxation
(Stress Reduction)
The
Healing Tao System (HTS)
Integrates body and mind in three graduated
phases, emphasizing a holistic view of how we connect to the innate
wisdom in our bodies and in the universe. HTS fully engages our
awareness with specific organs in the body for transformative work on
every level. For example, in the Six Healing Sounds each sound
corresponds to a season of the year, a color, an animal, a negative and
positive emotion and an organ of the human body (heart, lungs, kidneys,
. . .).
Integrative
Meditation/Visualization
While working as Meditation Instructor at The Marsh Balance and
Fiteness Center in Minnesota during the 1990’s, Dr. Rutter developed a
series of guided imagery meditations and visualizations. These
integrated meditations are based upon over 25 years of experience in
the contemplative arts, studio arts, and psychology practice.
The power and beauty of these meditations is how they shapeshift
according to environment, mood of the meditator, as well as the season
and time of day. They are like water, always flowing and carrying the
life force in its myriad of forms. The meditations address such areas
as life transitions, stress reduction, deep healing, and expanded
consciousness.
Roxanna guides meditations with an intuitive heart-felt connection to
each group, aware of the subtle energies within the group, the
atmosphere, and the larger sphere of our lives. Her background and
knowledge are vast, but it is her gifts that strike a chord within, a
chord of truth and something vital - the essence of life. Her gifts are
palpable through the quality of her presence, a deeply soothing voice,
and the sometimes fiery clarity, sometimes deep soulfulness in her
eyes.
Guided
imagery is especially beneficial for 2 main groups:
1) those seeking relief and balance - i.e. for stress, chronic or acute
pain relief
2) those seeking to live from vision, to live more highly spirited
lives with
greater connection to purpose, seeded from the soul.
The
Healing Tao System includes six healing sounds; over the
years people have experienced moderate to profound
relief and increased sense of well being in Roxanna’s
groups with this meditation in
particular, as well as the guided imagery.
