Still Point Induction and Jin Shin
Class with Kathleen Christ
9am – 1pm at: A Gathering Place 12061 Dorsett, 63043 – Sponsored by St Louis Aquatic Healing Center. Still Point is normally initiated throughout the day to rebalance and readjust the central nervous system; however, when the system is overstressed it tends to ignore this function while trying to overcome the difficulty. By inducing a Still Point we can remind the body to rest, regroup and reorganize. Jin Shin, similar to Still Point Induction, is a method of gently holding or touching various energy points or centers. Jin Shin uses points on the body that have high electrical conductivity and are gateways to energy meridians that can be stimulated to rebalance the body. Advanced reservations and $40 payment required. Call 314-432-5228 or www.watsu1.com.

Atlas Pro Filax with Michael Hane
at St Louis Aquatic Healing Center
The Atlas, the first vertebra, cradles the skull and rotates upon the second vertebra, the axis. If not in the correct position it can be responsible for a variety of medical conditions. A luxated Atlas causes a reduction in the volume of the skull opening and the vertebral canal; the spinal cord and brain stem along the cranial nerves, carotid arteries and other nerve tracts are all exposed to continuous pressure. This may cause migraines, TMJ, neck/lower back pain, herniated disks, pain in the hips/knees and imbalances in leg length, etc… Atlas Pro Filax is a simple, self-healing, painless solution. The procedure consists of a targeted massage to loosen tension and allow the atlas to return to its natural position. There is no “cracking” of the neck and only needs to be done once. Michael Hane has extensive training and is one of 12 certified practitioners in the US. Cost: $250. For appointment call 314-432-5228
