Classes for the Holistic Treatment of Anxiety Discover the power of using the breath to calm an overactive nervous system with classes at heal (v.) studio, in East Providence. Classes at the heal (v.) studio were developed to provide a complete holistic healing experience for individuals suffering from anxiety by combining the most effective treatments in the field of psychology with time-honored alternative healing practices. Each 90-minute class will integrate meditation, breath work, mindfulness exercises and yoga practice with traditional psychotherapy techniques. The next eight-week session begins March 29.
“It is a common misconception that anxiety is ‘all in your head’, but your body is just as involved,” explains Sarah R. Memoli, licensed mental health counselor, registered yoga teacher and certified clinical trauma professional. “An inextricable mind-body connection occurs as anxious thoughts activate biochemical/physical reactions (fight-or-flight response) which then further exacerbates psychological distress and worry. Holistic treatment addresses this entire cycle.”
Participants will learn to recognize triggers that create anxiety spirals and release thought patterns that don’t serve them. Classes include a grounding warm-up of stretching and meditation followed by breathwork exercises/pranayama. A 20-minute discussion of therapeutic psychological techniques and classwork is followed by 30 minutes of yoga. Each class closes with a 10-minute meditation and savasana (rest and release). At-home work is given between classes.
Participation allows for the opportunity to unblock and release chronic physical holding of stress and anxiety in the body, gain control over intrusive thoughts and panic attacks, and reprogram negative thoughts that maintain the anxious response. Memoli invites people to “shift from being stuck in your mind to feeling present in the moment and in your body. Realize that it is entirely possible to be a healthier, happier and calmer version of yourself.”
Cost: $25 per class/$195 for eight-week series. Location: 1019 Waterman Ave., East Providence. For more information or to register for classes, visit HolisticTherapyRI.com. See ad on page 11.

Distributors Wanted for Locally-Owned CBD Business Premium CBD RI, a locally-owned small business offering a unique array of organic CBD products, is searching for new distributors and offering business opportunities to anyone interested. The company is extremely selective in the variety of its products, and the authenticity and effectiveness of its CBD is the main concern.
The most popular products are 24-hour transdermal squares that offer a saturation of the CBD, capturing all of the CBD as opposed to an oral ingestion where the body can only retain about 7 percent of the CBD. These full-spectrum, hempderived squares are a mixture of white willow bark, cat’s claw and CoQ10. The delivery method of these transdermal squares is the key to this unique product.
These user-friendly squares promote a general sense of well-being, restful sleep and quiet everyday aches leading to an improved overall well-being. They are nonGMO, gluten-free, soy-free, preservative-free, vegan and contain no artificial colors.

Cutting-Edge Phone Protection A cutting-edge composite material has recently been developed by Conscious Technologies LLC to transmute the harmful electric and magnetic fields (EMF) given off by phones to EMF that is coherent and harmonious for people using information field technology. Conscious Technologies’ solution is not to shield or block the signal but rather to change the signal. Not all EMF is bad. Our hearts give off EMF and things in nature give off EMF, too. The difference is, man-made EMF from our cellular devices give off a left-handed torsion or information field, and things in nature and our hearts give off a right-handed torsion or information field.
When the Cell Phone Harmonizer by Conscious Technologies is placed on a phone, the spin field of the phone’s EMF is changed from a left-handed torsion to a right-handed torsion field, thus creating a coherent and harmonious signal that is in greater harmony with our body. Conscious Technologies also sells laptop and tablet trays that do the same thing for people’s laptops and tablets.
To purchase a Cell Phone Harmonizer and other products or to watch a detailed 21-minute video on this cutting-edge technology, visit PhoneHarmonizer.com. See ad on page 31.
