Often when we are seeking the guidance of a therapist, we may be experiencing a period of personal unrest. This period may be marked by fears, doubts, and uncertainty. Fortunately, with effective therapy, we can use these distressing times as opportunities for great personal growth.
The emphasis of effective therapy is teaching you the skills, tools and techniques that enable you to navigate through the inevitable challenges of life with more confidence, ease and acceptance.
I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive and comfortable space for you as you develop these skills and progress through the process of self-empowerment and healing. I encourage you to ask as many questions as you need about the process and what to expect. Please feel free to call me for a free phone consultation.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course
Engaging the Deep Wisdom of the Body and Mind
Weekend Course Dates: Saturdays, 4/14, 4/28, 5/12 and 5/26 of 2012
12:00 pm until 5:00 pm
1432 Dr. MLK Street N

I am happy to be offering an exceptional course on cultivating mindfulness into our daily lives beginning Saturday, April 14th in St. Petersburg. We meet every other Saturday together through May 25th (4 times) to deepen and practice the simple yet profound techniques that invite a peace that enriches every aspect of our lives. During the course, the following are some of the topics that will be practiced:
• recognizing when we are disconnected from ourselves – i.e. rushing, living on auto-pilot, participating in activities that are not enriching
• paying attention with curiosity to the discomforts that arise in our lives (physical, mental and emotional)
• using our own resistance as a way to enter into states of peace and acceptance
• using physical and emotional experiences in the body as a means of deep healing
• how to use our relationships as a means of deepening connection to self and all aspects of our lives
• turning our intense emotional experiences into allies instead of letting them derail and interrupt our lives
• connecting to and acting from purpose in our lives
• trusting ourselves and the events that are unfolding in our lives
These are just some of the topics that organically arise as we begin to practice mindfulness in our daily lives. The group experience invites and allows all participants to bring their own experiences into class and explore through safe and insightful methods. These exercises are clear paths that invite us to deeply connect to our own inner wisdom that is waiting to guide us in each moment. Along with the group exercises, we will also practice the following:
• mindfulness meditation (sitting practice)
• walking meditation
• insight dialogue (bringing meditation into our connections/conversations)
• mindful eating
• mindful movement (gentle yoga and stretching)
I invite you to SLOW DOWN and take some time to deeply connect and listen to your self. You’ll be very grateful for the wisdom and peace that await you. To register, please email me at BethMeeker@gmail.com or feel free to call if you have questions.
