Life Dimensions

Parents/guardians here's another empowering opportunity for you and your children.

Kid Reiki 1 is (November 9 from 9:00AM- 12:00PM) at Life Dimensions Council Bluffs– This 3 hour class (parent or guardian needs to be present during the whole class) is for kids from ages of 6-12.

Children regularly face many daily challenges. Kid Reiki is amazing for stress reduction and relaxation. It literally gives them the power to help themselves especially those children who are sensitive to energy and the world around them. This calming practice of Reiki can benefit children by promoting relaxation and confidence. Learning Reiki could help them learn to self-regulate, to soothe, to relax and to care for their own physical and emotional well-being. We know that reducing stress allows the body more resilience and therefore promotes wellness. Children often have the ability to pick up the energy of their parents. If the parent is stressed, angry or having a hard day, children can absorb this energy. Therefore this class serves both children and parents alike.

Each child will receive a Kid Reiki manual to take home leaving them feeling confident they can practice long after the class. Please let me know if you have any additional questions on this or have requests for family classes.

Cost: $40.00 for the first child of a family and $20.00 for each additional child.

This class will be offered at Life Dimensions 427 E Kanesville Blvd building Suite 100, Council Bluffs, IA 51503

Hey, friends! We have some open sessions available this weekend. Our weekend hours are fairly new still, but are starting to fill in with recurring bookings. If you've had trouble finding a convenient time during the week in the past, or have had trouble finding an open session with us, these weekend hours are a great chance to book a massage with us (plus a massage makes the weekend feel even MORE like the weekend). See if there's a time that works for you at https://lifedimensionscb.com/book-an-appointment/ !

If you have ever been curious about meditation or have had a practice in the past you've fallen away from - we invite you to enroll in a month-long supported online group meditation challenge with Johnathan Woodside.

You've probably heard us talk a lot about Johnathan here - In addition to having been Ilona's meditation teacher for about 10 years, he is also the amazing co-teacher on our annual 9-night Yoga and Mindfulness Retreat in Malta. Meditation has been so powerful for Ilona, and she finds herself continually drawn back into the simplicity of the practice and its powerful impacts in her life. She is signed up for the October challenge starting today, but there are options available for November and December sessions as well. Check it out and sign up!

Meditation Challenge - Johnathan Woodside Weeknight Online Community Month-Long Meditation ChallengeNightly group meetings from Monday through Friday, where participants come together online to practice in silence for 30 minutes. These sessions are designed to cultivate inner peace, self-awareness, and mindfulness, providing a dedicated spa...

All I can say is WOW!

Full disclosure I attempted this post all day yesterday to no avail. Finally after pacing back and forth feeling into why it was not flowing I knew the best timing would present itself and it just did.

The perfect timing just revealed itself...

You walked in tired, exhausted...nothing left to give
You asked what do you do here?
I showed you the community healing space and showed you room 3 because other massage therapists are working
and those rooms are not free.

We stood and we chatted
your back I gently patted.
Sensing your curiousity hushed by your fear
I asked if you'd wish to play with a bowl
take a whack with your heart and soul.

As soon as you watched me hold it, strike it gently and produce
this beautiful sound
you took a deep breath and already a layer
fell to the ground.

You inched to the massage table and took a seat
feeling from the blanket the warming heat.
I didn't have to say a word because your body could feel
that this is a haven for everyone to heal.

Just like that I placed one of Shri's bowls on your back.
There is no plan because it's the sound that does the scan,
flowing, moving, unraveling, easing and releasing
going back to were it all began.

Back to YOU!

Sound Bowl healing therapy sessions begin again with our beloved Shri of Naad Naturals Essential Oils for Aromatherapy: Mind, Body & Spirit wellness

Happening at Life Dimensions starting October 9th and every Wednesday till the end of 2024, from 12.30pm till 7.30pm.

These sessions provide an incredible range of benefits which I will elaborate on in the coming days.

I am sharing a story that unfolded organically thus calling forth my desire to share more of the unimaginable healing possibilities that Tibetan Sound Bowl healing brings forth.

Welcome back Shri! We have missed you.

Hey folks!

Just finished setting up for 9am Yoga and rolling into class soon BUT keep an eye out for my post later today. It has something to do with Shri and everything bowls and healing. X

Dear friends!

A few weeks ago I shared my choice to support a local family and their efforts (till August 31st) to secure reliable transportation. I'm happy to report to you that we have raised $1,200 of our $5,000 goal, so a huge thank you to all those that booked healing sessions with me. I'll start offering these again when I return back from Malta starting August 26th through the 30th. (To book please text 240-898-6718). We made such great progress toward our goal before I left for Malta, it was a shame to have to stop offering those sessions. Thankfully, one of our awesome community members hit on an amazing idea to keep this momentum going while I'm away - an online auction!

We're going to be auctioning off a number of art pieces over the next few weeks and are pleased to present the first item below with gracious thanks to Polina Schlott who both took this gorgeous photo and donated it to help someone in need.

This exquisite photograph captured by Polina is available for purchase at $700 or a starting bid of $350. Post your bids in the comments below and share this opportunity to help a good cause with others. Bidding ends on Thursday August 8th at 9am Central time.

Kimberly Isaac rocked another Kids Creative Play class at Life Dimensions. It was a lovely gathering of friends old and new with a perfect balance of instruction and free flow paint time complimented by snacks and beverages for all.

We look forward to more time with this wonderful woman.

Some of our team want to thank you so much for the nominations that are already going through for this year's Readers Choice Awards. This annual fun online event is one that brings a smile to our hearts. We appreciate your continued but unexpected support. We are truly grateful!

We encourage you to get online and nominate your favorites and vote for all those that make our community a bright, vibrant place worth residing and raising our families in.

Family and friends!

Join us for the final few yoga classes before Tricia and I take a break from teaching classes through the months of July and August. We can't wait to see you and your friends on the mat for the FINAL 5 classes from now until June 30th. We will resume with our programming after August and look forward to announcing our upcoming offerings around the middle of August, 2024. Stay tuned!

We thank you all so much for such a wonderful time this year and look forward to more soon.

We are enjoying a conversation about whether receiving massage therapy and any complimentary or bodywork sessions are a necessity or a luxury. I have my own personal share based on my own personal journey and that of our clients.

What's your journey with massage therapy?

We are enthusiastically curious and while you ponder that just reach out if you need a massage for luxury or necessity and we will get you in. There are some opportunities this afternoon.

Give us a ring at 712-318-2427 and be sure to share your journey if you might.

Have you experienced the magic of pure relaxation?
Have you received the chance to savour deep tranquility?

These states of being are accessible in a variety of ways achieved through the application of a practice, modality or wholesome experience to the nervous system.

Our team of skilled individuals will work together to customize your session to the signals from your nervous system. What works in a session for someone will not be the same for your best friend or the individual that referred you. No session is the same and following that your practitioner or another team member will make suggestions on how to continue re-igniting this state of being on a daily basis.

Deep relaxation and tranquility promotes the natural inner healing properties within you.

Visit www.lifedimensionscb.com to get going on aligning the health of your body, mind and soul.

The Life Dimensions Team!

Extended Hours and Availability Announcement!

Starting next week, Casey has extended her hours on Wednesday - Thursday - Friday to 5.30pm.

www.lifedimensionscb.com (Book Online)

Here at Life Dimensions we invite you to lean into creating a lifestyle of ease. I love to hear your stories of the most gentle ways in which you are creating the life you truly want to be living and we are here to support your process.

Our primary aim here is to always lead with integrity and come forth with offerings that will also include education and support beyond the session itself. We invite you to consider taking the opportunity to reserve a spot for one of Casey's offerings. While the session itself contributes to recalibrating your body's systems, centering your mind and promoting relaxation and stress relief, what we can say about Casey is that you are most likely going to walk away with new found insight on what is going on within. This educational experience filled with suggestions, tips and methods you can begin to work with in order to address the discrepancy at hand.

We are very fortunate to have a team that stands behind our why.

We look foward to seeing you next week. If booking online seems too daunting for you we ask that you reach us at 712-318-2427.

Many blessings to you all!

Good morning everyone!

I would appreciate you sharing this with anyone you know may be showing up for today's morning practice.

I will hopefully be better by Tuesday and look forward to seeing you then however as I've mentioned before, "Every moment is an opportunity for practice.
It can take many forms and can happen in any location outside of a yoga studio". Commit to a practice this morning at 9am wherever you may be.

No matter where you are in life, how old you might be or what is currently taking place you are most likely going through Life's Dimensions of this human experience which is why here at Life Dimensions we have classes, services and opportunities for everyone to feel supported when we feel like there are gaps between the Dimensions that our family members are experiencing in parellel to ours.

I am extremely honoured, humbled and grateful to call Sheri Noordam a dear friend. She will join Life Dimensions starting this week. She's been here for a while now, practicing and offering sound bowl healing sessions but before we share details of her availability and offerings we want to introduce this beautiful soul.

Shri had been introduced to singing bowls and the potentials of their healing in 2000 while spending time in San Diego, CA. For the years proceeding that time singing bowls have always been in her life. She has been using singing bowls to meditate with over the years. In 2023 several synchronicities were taking place that would eventually lead Shri to an accredited Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Therapy School. In September of 2023 Shri spent 5 days learning from world renowned teachers the proper techniques and note combinations used for relaxation therapy, chakra therapy, and other healing therapies. These techniques have been passed down from generation to generation in a small village in Nepal where the Himalayan Singing bowls are still made by hand to this day.

Our bodies can fall out of tune and fall out of vibrational harmony potentially developing illness. Many studies have shown singing bowls decrease our heartrate, mind chatter, and anxiety. Shri will take you on a magical journey using her singing bowls to re-tune you to health. The multi-phonic and poly-harmonic overtones which are unique, subtle and complex are pleasing to the brain and can calm your mind. The singing bowls produce 7 different notes and will be played using the Tibetan harmonic 5th system producing soothing, resonant sounds that will help your negative energy dissipate and bring your body back into balance and harmony.

Shri has already served our community in a private and group setting and those that have been lucky enough to receive this healing in one of their private sessions are coming back for more.

Shri thank you for sharing your gift with us here in CB and beyond.

Be on the lookout for our next announcements and our Intro Special coming soon!
