Mindful Spiritual Healing, Monday Nights
During the season of Lent, Holy Trinity’s Bev Vaughn will be offering a ministry of mindful spiritual healing. Mindful spiritual healing combines mindfulness practices of varying types with the evening Compline service from the Book of Common Prayer. Mindful spiritual healing offers a person energy balance and wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. This ministry offering in no way detracts from and is not a substitute for the gifts God gives us through medicine and psychotherapy but adds to our resources for wholeness. We will start with a mindful practice and follow with the evening Compline Service.
Bev is a certified Usui Reiki master teacher as well as a Holy Fire III and Karuna Rieki master teacher. She is also a trained coach for Breathworks for pain and Anxiety. Bev is earning her certification for clinical practitioner of EFT ( Emotional Freedom Therapy) Tapping. She also has experience in Mindfulness based stress reduction(MBSR) and Alexander technique for performance anxiety. Currently, Bev teaches for Hirsch Wellness Network, Subtle Wellness in Chapel Hill and she assists for classes in Reiki classes at Duke Integrative. Bev is also a volunteer at the infusion room at Cone’s Cancer Center and will be an artist in residence there in June. Prior to her healing work, Bev was a teacher for 30 years (PhD) of choir, theater and music.
