T'AI CHI CHUAN, YANG STYLE (10
Movement Yang Style Form)
Patty offers two levels of
Tai Chi training at this time:
Beginner Level: This class consists of 30 minutes
of warm ups including QiGong and drills, and is followed by 30 minutes of
form work on the 10 Movement Yang Style form (a very basic beginners
form). This class progresses through the 10 movement form forwards
and reverse (or mirror image) and through the 16 movement form (advanced
beginners form), forwards and reverse. (Participants of this class can move
on to the Advanced Class when they have demonstrated proficiency of the
afore mentioned forms, forwards and reverse.) The beginners class is
open to all adults over 18 and for all fitness levels. It is also
very gentle on the body and helps to create greater balance, flexibility
and stamina as well as reduce stress and increase relaxation. The
term "Meditation in Motion" has been applied to Tai Chi by many.
Advanced Level: This
class consists of 30 minutes of warm ups including QiGong and drills, and
is followed by 30 minutes of form work on the 24 Movement Yang Style form
(forwards and reverse) - this is the core form of all Yang Style Tai
Chi Chuan. Participants of this class are required to have learned
and demonstrate proficiency in the 10 and 16 Movement Yang Style forms both
forwards and reverse, or demonstrate proficiency in Yang Style Tai Chi to
the teacher's satisfaction. This class will also go on to learn the
45 movement form and possible weapons forms which may or may not include
Fan and Sword forms.

Reiki Sessions - Please contact Patty to schedule an appointment: 608/467-7033. Patty
is available for Reiki Sessions every day of the week including Saturday and Sunday, unless there has been a class scheduled. Patty's office hours are: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm weekdays, 10:00 am -5:00 pm Saturday, and 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Sundays (subject to availability). Sessions can be scheduled at Patty's home office on Engelhart Dr. (Directions/map)
Reiki session are $55 (sessions are 1 hour in length typically, but can run longer). Purchasing multiple Reiki sessions may be an option for you. A three-session package is $140.00; a five-session package is $233.00 Reiki, like massage, is a process and requires multiple sessions. As there is no predicting how many sessions you might need for any particular condition, purchasing blocks of sessions at a discount is more economical.
New Reiki session information (two-practitioner sessions):
Introducing a different take on Reiki sessions. It is common knowledge that Usui Sensei's Reiki Clinic in Tokyo (and Hayashi's) employed two-practitioner teams working on one individual at a time. For some time, I have been drawn to this idea and am now making it a reality. I am offering this unique service to my clients at a cost of $75/hour*. I and another Reiki practitioner that I have trained will perform as a two-person Reiki team for approximately one hour (running over is common in a Reiki session, at no extra charge) . Not only is this a more efficient way of doing a Reiki session but it also can be a more powerful experience for the client.
During the session, when appropriate we employ a technique called "mirroring" which means that each Reiki practitioner will be working on the same area on opposite sides of the body at the same time (for example - right shoulder, left shoulder, right arm, left arm, right knee, left knee, etc), a very profound experience, as felt and experienced by myself and my students during classes and Reiki shares. To kick off this very special offering an introductory rate of $60 to the first 10 people to schedule a session will apply.
* appointments subject to the availability of both practitioners.

PRANIC HEALING:
Patty incorporates Pranic Healing into a session if she feels drawn to do so, and does not offer separate Pranic Healing sessions at this time.
-
DISTANT REIKI HEALING - In the Reiki tradition, healing energy can be sent out over distance. You can request Distant Reiki for yourself, a loved, a situation, or pet from Patty. Reiki is not governed by time or space, therefore Reiki can be sent anywhere in the world, to the past or to the future. The fee for this service is $15. Patty sends out Reiki on a daily basis.
Patty also hosts a Distant Reiki Network for her students, their friends, families and pets. As a student of Patty's, you are eligible to join this group. When someone has a request for healing, they pass it along to Patty and she sends it out to the Distant Healing Group. This is a common practice among Reiki teachers.
-
Reiki Shares - Held twice a month (specific days, times and locations vary). Updates will be posted on the website monthly. The Reiki Shares are held for the benefit of Patty's Reiki students and other Reiki practitioners that are personally invited. A Reiki Share is an event where Reiki practitioners get together to practice their skills, share their experiences, get some free Reiki, and have their questions answered by their teacher. Also it is a good time for the teacher to share new techniques or pass along new information. The day, time and location of this event is subject to change - please call ahead to RSVP (608/467-7033) or email Patty (Patty@RainbowWomanReiki.com). Fee for attending a Reiki Share is $10.

WOMEN'S SPIRITUALITY SUPPORT GROUP
This group was formed at the request of many of Patty's students and friends who felt that they had no one to talk to about the many changes and transformations that were taking place in their lives, because of the choices they were making to pursue areas of spiritual growth or healing modalities that were not mainstream, and wanted to meet other like-minded individuals for sharing, support and discussion. The group meets on Sunday afternoons, twice a month, from 4:30-6:30 pm at the Wil-Mar Community Center, 953 Jenifer St., Madison, WI (map/directions). We are in the Mendota room. I will have my assistant looking out for you but just in case, to find the room, come in the front entrance (faces Brearly and the parking lot), turn right, go down the hall way, turn left and go up the stairs, head all the way back and turn left. We are in the small room to the right off that back hallway. Utilizing an open forum, you can share your experiences, get your questions answered, and feel supported around the things you are doing on your path.
Patty also brings in many local Spiritual leaders or professionals in the healing arts to expose you to all that is available to you in the Madison area. The meeting begins with The Loving Kindness Meditation (free CD's of this meditation available at the meetings). There is a $5 charge for each meeting. "FREE" parking is available across the street in the front of the center on Brearly.
Space is limited so please RSVP: 608/467-7033 or email Patty@RainbowWomanReiki.com to sign up for any of these events.
Sunday, July 20, 2008. CANCELLED! PATTY IS ILL THIS WEEKEND. NEW Journal Magic! Lessons in Therapeutic Writing. April Scheiner, a regular attendee of the Spiritual Women's Group, recently returned from an exciting writing symposium with a project that she would like to share with the group. It's called JOURNAL MAGIC!
Based upon the teachings of Sue Meyn, S.C., this particular class taught a number of writing prompts that she refers to the 'magic ingredients' that can begin an exploration of the inner mind for thoughts and journal writing. By sharing cards with the group, made by the author and provided by April, the group member will each pick a card with a stimulating prompt of words and pictures that she will use to write for a group-determined period of time. Then, if anyone wants to share her entry based upon their card, they are invited. It's a lot of fun!
April will also introduce another idea prompt where cards are again randomly picked and all tossed into a bowl. Each group member will subsequently pick a card from the bowl (or hat) and again write for a relatively short period of time again. At the group, 'journal ingredient' cards can be picked repeatedly as time allows. We used as many as six cards at the lecture to form stream of consciousness thinking based upon the prompt cards. This is a particularly fun and helpful game for writing prompts at home to get you rolling on writing from these cards or those that you make on your own. It is particularly helpful as journal prompts for individuals keeping journals or even for writing groups. This can be a fun game to play at home and with friends!
Sue Meyn's Journal Cards can be found at www.JournalMagic.com along with the book 'Journal Magic' which is a helpful guide to this process. But all that you need to bring to the July 20 meeting are paper, pens, and an openness to magic writing! I hope to see you all there.
April ScheinerSunday, August 3, 2008. Deb Bachman of the Ki Center (www.kioflife.com): Introduction to Tao Shiatsu Revolutionary Healing Method. The hands-on Oriental medical therapy of Tao Shiatsu is the study of the flow of energy in the body. This vital life energy is known as “ki” in Japanese ("chi" in Chinese). Pain and disease are understood to result from blockages in a person’s ki channels. When these blockages are released by applying ki pressure to treatment points, energy is able to move freely and symptoms are relieved. Participants will experience Oriental Medicine’s core principle - the interconnected nature of body, mind and spirit - through Ki (energy) training exercises and hands-on shiatsu practice. There will also be information about the Tao Shiatsu training program beginning this September. For more information please contact the Tao Sangha Center at 608-257-4663 or usa@taoshiatsu.com and visit www.taoshiatsu.com. Everyone is welcome! Deborah Bachmann received her training in Japan at the International School of Tao Shiatsu. She has been a shiatsu practitioner since 1995 and directs the Tao Sangha Center and Tao Shiatsu clinic on Madison's Eastside.
Sunday, August 31, 2008. Betty Frye will be doing a talk on Intuitive Development. Betty Frey, SBWF, SM, RMP, is a Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator, Shamanic Minister and Reiki Master. She is a wife, mother and grandmother and appreciates the joys and struggles surrounding these beautiful blessings. Betty has trained with Venus Rising in North Carolina, Windemere Institute of Healing Arts and studied with various teachers in and outside of the Sauk Prairie area. Betty has personally experienced the healing transformation of Breathwork and has brought that healing venue forward so others may have the same opportunity. For seventeen years, she worked as a Paralegal, which gave her a clear understanding of the everyday stresses of career. Combining her background of life experience, education and training, Betty offers Breathwork, Reiki, Gentle Guidance, Ministerial Services and teaches a variety of classes all of which assist in alleviating stress, anxiety, pain and trauma (old or new).
Betty enjoys spending time with family and friends, regularly attends spiritual retreats and is deeply grateful for the many blessings in her life. She is a member of the Association for the Integration of the Whole Person and Sauk Prairie’s Today’s Women. She states, “I strongly believe in the power of teaching and healing circles and invite you to visit me at Spirit Horses Wellness Center". She can be contacted by calling 608-963-0282.
Betty's presentation will be on Breathwork.
Breathwork uses a combination of music and breathing techniques to assist in bringing forward the inner healing process of the client. With increased oxygen and music, the healing process can range from the release of deep, long lasting grief to the acceptance and celebration of great joy. Breathwork is experiential and the wisdom and healing gained comes from inside each person. To assist in restoring healing and balance, the facilitator uses body energy work such as Reiki. ** Pregnant women should not participate in Breathwork Sessions**Sunday, September 7, 2008.
