On August 29th, Lisa Law, Reiki Master, Therapeutic Yoga Instructor, and meditation facilitator, addressed the Rotary Club of Nashua regarding Meditation. Lisa grew up on Temple Mountain, and feels comfortable on the land and has always had a connection with nature. What she does stems from her balancing herself with nature. She has a BA in Psychology from Wellesley College and is certified in Feng Shui, she has studied in Singapore, Thailand, and many countries in the East. She has worked as a TV producer, Promotions Direction and realtor. She was the Nashua Chamber of Commerce’s 2007 Volunteer of the Year. She is also a Reiki Master, Therapeutic Yoga Instructor, and meditation facilitator, among other credentials.
Her journey started 9 years ago when her mother passed and she became her grandmother’s caretaker, and with a great deal of travelling. She was stressed and having back issues, and realized her family has had similar issues, and so she sought to find peace of mind for herself.
Started studying Feng Shui and meditation. Mindfulness teaches you an awareness of yourself and the ability to step back and be an observer.
Lisa conducted an exercise in mindfulness and guided relaxation with the attending Rotarians in the room. Meditation can help reframe your life and move in a positive direction.
Feng Shui is the ancient art of placement, and believes that you are a mirror of your environment and the reverse. There are 9 aspects of life that FS looks at and can be mapped onto your environment. Arranging your environment to support the direction you want your life to go. It discourages clutter which drags down your life.
Yoga helps your body release energy that you don’t even know you are holding inside. Studies on happiness: 10% of your happiness is related to life circumstances, 40% relates to temperament, and 50% is your attitude. During the recent difficulties that Brian’s company went through, they found things to be positive about.
Life is like a labyrinth, you think you are figuring it out and have to start over many times. Her happiness meter is in the 90% most of the time.
On November 6, she will hold a workshop which will teach simple tools to develop meditation practices in your life, and energy protections to protect yourself and your attitude.
