Balance your energy systems using energy medicine and an easy, gentle form of yoga

LWalker

In the last year and a half, we’ve experienced a multitude of things to be anxious about.

Where does it end? How can we sit at peace in the world and not be consumed by fear and anxiety?

The onslaught of stressors has created a chronic problem. Many of us are caught in a perpetual cycle of fight, flight, or freeze responses and it’s wreaking havoc on our physical and mental health.

This steady stream of stressful events may be beyond our control, but there are ways to soothe and settle our own anxiety. We can learn to step out of the emotional chaos we’re feeling and find a gentle, tranquil place within that nurtures and carries us through difficult times.

On Saturday, August 21, Lauren Walker, creator of Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga), will show you how to quell your inner noise and release and heal your fears and traumas so you can cultivate inner peace, joy, and resilience.

You can register here for Energy Medicine Yoga & Sound Healing Tunings to Reduce Stress & Find Peace, Joy & Healing: https://shiftnetwork.infusionsoft.com/go/emy/a23547

During this experiential, healing hour, you’ll discover:

  • How resetting your quantum blueprint resets your original, true essence
  • How using EMYoga together with sound-healing tuning forks can double-turbocharge your self-healing
  • A practice using gentle movements and sound healing to relax your nervous system
  • How being perpetually anxious impacts your overall health
  • The importance of learning how to ground yourself for healing and stress relief

EMYoga — which combines energy medicine with a traditional yoga practice â€” can influence the trajectory of your body’s energy patterns to heal and increase vitality, while balancing your immune, hormonal, and nervous systems.

To help you go even deeper, Lauren will add the power of tuning forks, the sound-therapy method employed by Shift faculty member Eileen McKusick, targeting its vibrational sounds to relax your nervous system, while clearing and resetting your adrenals and rebalancing the cortisol levels in your body.

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to discover how balancing your energy systems using energy medicine, coupled with an easy, gentle form of yoga, can heal you on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.

Which ancient goddesses are stirring within you?

goddess

It was Carl Jung who theorized that we are all influenced by invisible archetypes that shape our behavior and influence our inner world.

Discovering and working with these archetypes can open us to powerful forces of transformation.  For women in particular, this means accessing the energies symbolized by ancient goddesses, each of which represents a core dimension of femininity.

When we unveil the archetypal energies present within us, we gain profound insights into how we can live more meaningful, authentic and joyous lives. We access more power, depth, and wisdom.

So, it’s with great excitement that I invite you to a special FREE online event featuring bestselling author Jean Shinoda Bolen! Jean’s groundbreaking book, Goddessesin Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women’s Lives, became an instant classic when it was published 30 years ago, and it remains a foundational work for feminist psychology today.

And now, you can go beyond the book and experience Jean’s revolutionary teachings during a complimentary virtual event: Goddesses in Everywoman: How Discovering Your Natural Archetype Can Liberate Your Full Expression.

Reserve your free spot here for this exciting offering: https://shiftnetwork.infusionsoft.com/go/gweg/a23547

During this hour-long mini workshop with Jean, you’ll discover:

  • A simple test to reveal which goddesses are currently influencing you
  • How becoming aware of the mythic dimensions of your life choices can inspire deeper creativity and greater fulfillment
  • How stepping past fears and self-imposed limitations can awaken the life-enhancing energies of a new goddess archetype to guide you
  • Why every woman is a “woman-in-between” — acted on from within by goddess archetypes and from without by cultural stereotypes and expectations
  • How the potential shadow qualities of each archetype can cause problems and conflicts
  • How to harness the energies of two transformational currents — the claiming of your signature goddess archetype and the expanded knowledge of how the other six can contribute to your soul purpose.

There has never been a better time for you to fulfill your potential by embracing and embodying your true Self!  

You’re not going to want to miss this opportunity to embark with Jean on a fascinating journey into mythology, self-awareness and deep transformation.

Here’s what some of Jean’s esteemed colleagues are saying about Goddesses in Everywoman:

The highest value of this book lies in the moments of recognition it provides: that insightful second when we understand and internalize, when we recognize what we ourselves have experienced, feel trust because of that truth, and then are taken one step further.
 â€“–Gloria Steinem

A glorious book. Jean Shinoda Bolen’s weaving of myth, science, and keen observation makes this an outstanding contribution to the humanities.
–– Rita Mae Brown

I hope to “see” you at this destined-to-be compelling virtual event! It’s FREE to attend and you will receive a recording if you can’t listen live: https://shiftnetwork.infusionsoft.com/go/gweg/a23547

Ann-Marie

PS – During Goddesses in Everywoman: How Discovering Your Natural Archetype Can Liberate Your Full Expression, Jean Shinoda Bolen will show you how understanding and cultivating the goddess archetypes within you can expand your self-knowledge, enrich your relationships and deepen your sense of meaning and purpose.

This event is free but requires registration. RSVP here: https://shiftnetwork.infusionsoft.com/go/gweg/a23547

Web Development Trends In 2018 & Future Of Online Shopping

by guest author Junaid Ali Qureshi

Safe to say, the growth of e-commerce has been astounding and completely unprecedented. The market hit almost two and a half trillion in 2017 and a report by Statista predicts it will reach four and a half trillion by 2021. Just in the United States, e-commerce shopping currently amounts to ten percent of retail shopping and this figure is increasing by fifteen percent with every annum.

As E-commerce rapidly grows, it inevitably continues to evolve at the same pace, killing off some trends while giving birth to new trends. Here we take at the new trends you need to know before you head out and hire a magneto developer.

You can not ignore the smartphone market anymore

Roughly eleven percent of online shoppers purchase products on their phones on a week to week basis and thirty five percent claim that it will soon be their window to online shopping. Judging by these facts alone one can see that the smartphone market is a key area to target. This means your website needs to be smartphone friendly and your magento development company should make a smooth user experience a priority.

Templates

People have a misguided idea that using a template shows laziness and a lack of ideas from the company’s part, but this is far from the truth. Templates are great because they make use of a design that works and is liked by online shoppers. They also allow you to bring a unified experience across all platforms which allow you to build your own individuality.

Load only what is necessary

Mobile users are very concerned with their data usage. While cell providers now offer data for much cheaper than before, you should still look to load only the necessary components to avoid data wastage. For e-commerce sites, this generally only applies to the product listing page. Instead of listing out one hundred products on the page, consider listing the top ten in the beginning and continue loading sets of tens on the next pages.

Hamburger menus

While you might be scratching your head wondering what these are, you are sure to have come across these much more often than you think. These are the small three horizontal bars on one corner of the screen which reveal a menu when clicked and stay out of the way when not needed. Hamburger menus help declutter the page and allow the user to view only what he or she needs at the moment, but at the same time keeps key aspects about the website like the contact etc. a tap away.

Grids

Grids have long been one of the most efficient ways to arrange things. Nowadays, they are widely used on all corners, be it a phone operating system or on websites. For e-commerce sites, where one has to browse through multitudes of categories and products, grids allow the designer to declutter and organize things in an effective manner. They have an added benefit of being clear and making navigation easier. Most recently, websites have been removing borders which then allow these grids to blend in with the rest of the website in a seamless manner.
