Description:
Applied Meditation
with Daniel McMannis, Cheryl Ronish and music by Lawrence Duncan
Red Willow Learning Center, Missoula MT

Heart Rhythm Meditation is a unique combination of authentic, ancient heart-centered practices integrated with scientific insights from neurocardiology. This powerful, easily learned, and energizing meditation will be enhanced with music, movement, and partner work. This is APPLIED meditation: using your pressing needs as your guide: whether in health and healing, relationships, parenting, career, or self-trust and confidence. Deep, daily connection to your heart inspires and awakens your ideals, and leads to the empowering awareness that the healthy heart is stronger than any stressor and bigger than any pain. Thus, your heart is a powerful source of hope, optimism and courage.

Daniel McMannis, M.Ed., co-founder of HeartMentors
As a Heart Ecologist I am deeply interested in how the environment affects our hearts (for example, cardio-pulmonary disease is the number one cause of death in the US), and also how the heart affects our environment (for example, optimistic people consistently interpret events in a hopeful manner). My master's work in Multiple Intelligences convinced me that emotional (EQ) was often more important for achieving success and a good quality of life than IQ. This work ultimately led me to the heart, which neuroscience now understands is the primary regulator of our emotions; the conductor of our mind/body experience. I see the physical heart as the entry point for healing and growing the emotional and spiritual heart. I am a trained facilitator through the Center for Attitudinal Healing, a certified teacher through the Institute for Applied Meditation, and am trained and certified in Emotional Freedom Techniques. I've taught these energetic, heart-centered approaches for the past 10 years to hundreds of parents, therapists, social workers, teachers, couples, and families.

Lawrence Duncan lives and works as a musician with his partner Mary Werner a few blocks from downtown Missoula, Montana. He is employed as a Music-Thanatologist by Hospice of Missoula, and as a performer and workshop co-facilitator with Drum Brothers, a World Music/Rhythm ensemble. Bassoon, soprano saxophone, flutes and recorders, West African percussion, harp, voice and EWI are some of the instruments he makes use of in performance and in his work as a contemplative musician. Essential to his life as a musician is the conviction that music activity can be a means of connecting with the world of Divine Creative impulses.

Cheryl Ronish, LCSW moved to Montana over 20 years ago and has been working with children and their families. She loves being in the mountains and seeing family's lives improve through a variety of means. She became involved with Heart Rhythm Meditation five years ago and is a certified instructor. In her life and private practice she uses a variety of approaches integrating mind, body, emotions and spirit.
