> Relief from the Pain of Fibromyalgia
>
> Wednesday, October 6, 7 - 8:15 pm
> Fibromyalgia is a painful condition that effects almost 2 percent of  
> the population of the United States, mostly women between 25-35  
> years of age.  People diagnosed with fibromyalgia experience a wide  
> range of symptoms including but not limited to chronic muscular  
> pain, aching and stiffness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety and  
> depression. It has been recognized as an illness and a cause of  
> disability by the American Medical Association since 1987 but few  
> treatments are available using western medical approaches.  
> Fortunately Chinese medicine is often useful in treating both the  
> symptoms and root cause of this illness. Come and learn how  
> acupuncture and natural herbal medicines can offer safe and  
> effective relief from the challenges of this disturbing ailment.  
> Neil Weinberg is a licensed acupuncturist and holds a Diplomate  
> Certification in Herbal Medicine. He provides wellness care at the  
> Integrative Medicine Center in Ithaca. To schedule a consultation  
> with Neil call 275.9697, or for more information visit www.ithacaacupuncture.com

> Work and Play without Pain: An Introduction to the Alexander Technique
> Wednesday, October 13, 7:30-8:45 PM.
> Whether you're working at a computer, exercising, or playing the  
> violin, unconscious habits can cause pain, discomfort, and  
> unsatisfactory achievement. Through hands-on guidance, we will  
> explore how Alexander Technique can help you to stand, sit, move,  
> breathe, think, and perform with greater ease and efficiency. For  
> over twenty years, Certified Alexander Technique Teacher Mona  
> Sulzman has helped people of all ages prevent and reduce pain and  
> improve their skills and well-being.  She taught AT for four years  
> in the Graduate Acting and the Music departments at Binghamton  
> University, and has private practices in Ithaca and Syracuse.  
> Information on Alexander Technique can be found at www.alexandertech.org

> Why are we Always so Busy? How to Balance Yin and Yang
> Wednesday, October 20, 5:30-7 PM
> Class size limited to 15 participants.
> The philosophy of Yin and Yang is the foundation of Chinese  
> Medicine, both in theory and application. Learning to mindfully  
> apply these principles as we engage in every day life can help us to  
> feel more healthy, energetic, and in harmony with our surroundings.  
> So many of us feel chronically busy, almost as though we just can't  
> stop. Why is it so hard to really relax? From the perspective of  
> Chinese Medicine, in order to maintain stability in the outer world  
> as well as in the body, there must be a healthy balance of both Yin  
> and Yang activities. For many of us these days, the dynamic is  
> clearly more heavily weighted toward an excess of Yang, or habitual  
> activity, which over time can lead to a significant depletion of  
> Yin. This class will explore the following questions:
> ·      What are Yin and Yang?
> ·      How did things get so Yang?
> ·      The Importance of Preserving Yin
> ·      How to Cultivate our Yin
> Certain supplements and foods can be used to help nourish the Yin  
> aspect of the body. Amanda will highlight these at the end of the  
> class, followed by a brief tour through Greenstar to locate the  
> foods and supplements mentioned in the class. Amanda Lewis is  
> nationally board-certified and licensed in acupuncture and Chinese  
> herbal medicine. She graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College in  
> Colorado and has seven years of experience in both Western and  
> Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She currently sees patients at  
> the PADMA Center for Natural Therapies in downtown Ithaca and at the  
> Orthopedic Associates clinic in Binghamton. To schedule a  
> consultation with Amanda, call (607) 768-5958

> Meet the Practitioner
> An Introduction to Radical and Life-Changing Inquiry, The Work of  
> Byron Katie
> Wednesday, October 27, 7 - 8:30 pm
> Many people have read or know of Byron Katie's book Loving What Is:  
> Four Questions That Can Change Your Life, in which she presents her  
> system of inquiry for questioning stressful thoughts or any thoughts  
> that keep us from peace. Instructor Jayalalita will discuss The Work  
> of Byron Katie and facilitate volunteers through the process. She  
> will also lead an exercise on paper using a shorthand version of the  
> inquiry process to dispel negative attachment to limiting and  
> painful thoughts. For more information about Jayalalita, The Trust  
> Coach, see http://thetrustcoach.blogspot.com/
>
> Classes are free (unless noted) and open to the public, and are held  
> in the meeting room at GreenStar Cooperative Market’s West-End  
> Store, 701 W. Buffalo St. Space is limited and registration is  
> required. To register, sign up at GreenStar's Customer Service Desk  
> or call 273-9392. Views expressed by the presenters do not  
> necessarily represent GreenStar Cooperative Market, Inc., its  
> Council, management or staff.
