Acupuncture
-Quantum Biofeedback Sessions

Rodney S Bhally, Awaken Mastery



Daoist healing and Traditional Chinese Medicine integrate ancient wisdom, with the understanding of modern stress and strife. They prioritize restoring harmony, balancing energy, and aligning with natural principles to facilitate healing and foster holistic well-being. By embracing these principles and practices, individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery, harmonization, and profound healing, integrating the timeless wisdom of the East into the fabric of modern healing. Daoist healing encourages individuals to live in harmony with nature and attune themselves to its rhythms. By embracing the fundamental principles of the universe, individuals can become role models for others, embodying balance and virtue as a guide to health and well-being. This alignment with nature serves as a foundation for cultivating a state of balance and harmony within oneself.


Eastern Healing encompasses diverse modalities, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and movement practices like Tai Chi and Qigong. These modalities aim to restore and enhance the smooth flow of qi throughout the body. According to the text, when qi flows freely, the disease cannot persist, emphasizing the vital role of unhindered energy circulation in maintaining good health.


Offerings:

  • Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

  • Quantum Biofeedback

    Biofeedback System is a therapeutic intervention for the alleviation of stress, muscle re-education, emotional rebalancing, and pain management

Volunteer at PATA Animal Rescue

PATA Samara Animal Rescue


Our doggies always enjoy going for walks or just getting some extra love

We have a couple of volunteer shifts throughout the week and can help with transport to and from the refuge. 

In the morning, we meet around 8am and take the dogs for walks (usually 2 or 3, depending on how many dogs we have). ​

Then it's cleaning and cuddle time.

In the afternoon, we also take the dogs for a couple of walks and then do the feeding. And of course, we wrap the day with some more cuddles!

"Volunteering with PATA has been so fun, rewarding and flexible. There’s something for everyone! 

It’s amazing to see all the dogs shine and grow each week! You can come as often or little as you like. Some people even come while they’re on vacation!

An amazing thing about volunteering is getting to make new friends, both with other volunteers and with the two amazing women behind the whole operation: Sally and Emma.

If you’ve been wanting to participate but haven’t made the leap, this is your push to reach out and try something new!"
