Late Summer Acupuncture Special with Kate Mansfield
Advertisement
For a limited time, a oneand-a-half-hour first appointment can be booked with acupuncturist Kate Mansfield, LAc, at Relax, in the West Village, for the same price as a regular, one-hour treatment. This special will run from August 18 to 26 to align with nature’s late summer season. In the five element acupuncture system that Mansfield practices, the elements in nature’s seasonal cycle are observed (fall = metal, winter = water, spring = wood, summer = fire). “In the same way that nature supports balance through the cycle of the seasons, it can support our own health and wellness when we pay attention,” says Mansfield. Late Summer is an extra season and corresponds with the earth element that is also present between each season because it represents a period of transition. People often come for acupuncture to help adjust dur-
ing the transition between seasons. Late summer represents a longer transition period between the fire element of summer and the metal element of fall. This is a time to address and take care of our needs, a time to receive and reestablish balance within ourselves. If we feel depleted, we will need to restock our personal cupboard so that we have enough reserves to sustain us through fall and winter, much like the way a farmer gathers the harvest from his crops. Ideally, we feel nourished by the ‘fruits’ of our summer and able to digest and transform our experiKate Mansfield ences in a healthy way. Come fall, the metal element takes over, and, like nature, we get to let go of anything that is no longer serves us, retaining only the essence or gems. Letting go enables us to feel inspired again.
Cost: $120. Location: 716 Greenwich St. (between Charles St. and W 11th St.), the West Village, NY. For more information, call 929-277-0760, email KateMansfieldACU@gmail.com or visit KateMansfieldAcupuncture.com. See ad, page 40.

Heal Trauma at Yoga Summer Immersion Course
Renate Langner
Renata Langner, certified yoga instructor, reiki master and holistic nutrition coach, is back in New York offering a 25-hour certification program from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m, August 15 to 19, at Revolution Yoga. The five-day, Summer Immersion Course is a great opportunity for the yoga community to come together again and learn practical tools to heal trauma. Langner’s approach to healing is a full body experience, one that accesses unprocessed emotions through the body’s natural intelligence. Breathwork and meditation will be the foundation of the experience, becoming the intrinsic bridge that connects and integrates all content of this course. This process of unpacking will take place through practices of intentional sharing and holding space, embodiment practices, somatic expression and catharsis. The release of healthy rage and sadness is for many the missing link towards trauma healing and developing a healthy emotional body. This course is an invitation to learn intentional communication skills, while taking full responsibility for one’s emotions and developing the capacity to witness and hold space for others. Participants will gain tools and skills that will stay with them long past the completion of the course. This work opens the body, mind and heart to dimensions of healing essential for feeling more whole and content. Twenty-five hours of Yoga Alliance CEUs are available upon request. Students will also receive an invitation to an online community of like-minded people to support their daily practice.
Cost: $777 (scholarships and payment plans available). Location: 7 N. Village Ave., Rockville Centre, NY. For more information and to enroll, call 516-619-6421 or visit TinyURL.com/2p992y9p.
Learn to Live with More Empowerment
Learn to become more empowered with Dr. Mike Berlin, creator of Living the Miracle Coaching program, a transformational program that reteaches the brain how to interpret past and current life experiences in a truthful, compassionate and empowering way. The words power and empower are similar sounding but very different in meaning. Some believe that empowerment means bravado. They mix it up with power over something or someone. According to the Webster dictionary, the meaning of powerful is: 1. Having or capable of exerting power; 2. Effective or potent; 3. Great. The prefix “em” means to put in or into, bring to a certain state. So, to “empower” means to exert power, be effective or potent and bring greatness “within.” Essentially, to be empowered or to live in empowerment means to live with humble confidence, wisdom, contentment and love towards and emanating from oneself. It is the embodiment of greatness from within.
Living the Miracle Coaching is all about learning to come to know our true self and loving and forgiving ourselves completely. It is a state of powerful grace that we live in real and practical ways. It is not personal growth; it is spiritual growth, defined as being “about reaching out to and connecting with our inner soul, and is a method of becoming more harmonious with life around us, develops our own feelings of inner power and strength and leads us to live happier lives and to take more responsibility for our own actions.” Dr. Mike Berlin Berlin says, “It is about living as we truly are; connected to the power of all life. This is empowerment—connected and filled with the inner power that comes from truly knowing and loving yourself.”

is an Ivy-educated dental specialist committed to providing the very best dental care which includes utilizing and going BEYOND normal biomimetic dentistry. Biomimetics is the practice of mimicking the biological nature of a tooth, using dental materials that match the strength and flexibility of the different layers of the tooth. Dental silver fillings, also referred to as dental amalgams, or mercury fillings, are ANTI-biomimetic, known to break and crack teeth because they are much harder than the remaining tooth around them.

Some people experience tooth pain and/or sensitivity from an improperly placed dental composite filling and are then told they need a root canal. Dr. Etess has 25 years of dental experience and thousands of hours of continuing education to provide you with a proper diagnosis and unmatched professional dental care. He uses a proprietary Beyond Biomimetic composite bonding protocol to ensure the finest and sensitivity-free composite white fillings which will maintain the overall health and well-being of your tooth.

He uses the revolutionary Khoury™ grafts, which utilize your own harvested bone along with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) from your blood. PRF contains growth factors, healing cytokines and the all-important regenerative stem cells to allow you to heal optimally and rapidly.
