Island Women's Healing - Quarterly Newsletter #1 - March 2011

Aloha! Welcome to Island Women’s Healing new Quarterly Newsletter. Our focus will be on health and wellness. This issue provides a brief summary of all our Herbal Formulas, and relates the Story of Wahine to each of the herbs. Future issues will feature an in-depth look at a single Herb, with health benefits, uses and more.

Our Crystal Light Bed Therapy sessions, along with Island Women's Healing owner Hallie Larsson, were featured in a very interesting Big Island Weekly article, "Holistic Approach, Energy Healing with Crystal LIght Therapy." Check it out!

Be sure to visit our on-line Event Calendar for dates and times of upcoming events that may interest you.

Our newest event: Wahine Goddess Chanting Group. Meets every other Friday of the month. Next one is next Friday April 1st. at 10:00 AM.

A circle of women get together at Island Women's Healing, Ohana, to practice and strengthen our sacred voice, body and soul for healing and connection to our higher self. This great technique was developed by Ani Williams and called Songaia (Earth) Sound. Songaia is a system of sound medicine incorporating both listening and sounding (toning) the twelve notes in the music scale. The Songaia 12-Tone series was recorded by Ani Williams as a tool to assist people exploring vibrational healing. The effect of natural harmonic sounds of harp, didjeridu, bells and overtone chanting have been found to reduce stress, encourage well-being and increase life energy.

If you are interested in getting a personal Voice Spectrum analyses session with Ani Williams or in purchasing her music, please contact her at (Songaia Sound Productions Ani Williams) www.aniwilliams.com , songaia@earthlink.net, 928-204-1124.
