Who am I?
Well, today, September 16, 2009, I am Diane Jackman, a 53 year young woman sitting at my computer getting ready for another long list of workshops to teach, learn new things and visit new places.
The Masters I study would say, I am a soul in a human spacesuit going through this universe at this point in time, creating my existence. Where has my journey taken me thus far?
I started teaching exercises in 1982 at the YWCA in Bangor, Maine. I didn’t like what aerobics did to my knees so I “invented” exercises for what I called our Gut Busters Class. Later I found these exercises were Pilates poses so I guess one would say I had been tapping into the collective consciousness to help myself and my students lose the weight around their middles and strengthen their core.
I am a certified advanced Hatha Yoga Instructor and began my serious study in solitude of Kriya Yoga through SRF (Self Realization Fellowship) begun by Paramahansa Yogananda, my guru, my master. He passed onto the other dimension in 1952 and comes to me clearly in times of need. I have been teaching his exercises along with many other masters' exercises since 1996.
I have a certificate in advanced Hatha Yoga and can teach the more advanced poses but prefer to keep my classes at a simpler, more relaxed-meditative level, not only for myself but for my stidents.
I have been teaching Qi Gong (a Chinese self-healing tradition) in workshops from Florida to Maine along with my yoga, laughter yoga, meditation, rejuvenation and energy exercises.
I am a sponge for knowledge when it comes to health, healing and natural methods to better our well being. Medical Intuit Workshops with C. Norman Shealy Ph.D, Oly Shalow, Barbara Razor, and Winter Robinson taught me a most important fact; we all have the ability to tap into the Universal Life Force for answers concerning our own health and the health of others. I continue to learn from these extrememly intelligent, well-learned people I have been blessed to know.
Mediumship workshops with Stephen Hermann opened my eyes to the truth we all have the power to detect Spirit World’s messages. The ones who have passed to another dimension are always trying to help us reach our goals for the higest good of all.
Workshops with Donna Eden (30 year energy medicine veteran) and her husband (David Feinstein Ph.D.-30 years on John Hopkins staff) at Omega Institute this past summer validated my energy exercises (she's teaching many of the same exercises I have been sharing!) and showed me a path to help people who are stuck in their emotions. Emotions such as anger, fear and grief are unavoidable parts of our lives but when we get stuck in those feelings and can't move past them they begin to cause "dis" ease. Our thoughts are frequencies and can cause more pain than we realize. Through tapping on our meridians we can release those feelings and move on to a life we design for ourselves filled with happiness and peace.
I am a member of the American Council on Fitness Education and a Minister of the Universal Church.
I also teach people about natural health care options and help them understand how to lose weight, eat right and feel better about themselves. I do this by sharing what I have learned about "detoxing"...out with the bad and in with the good-out with the old and in with the new.
Replacing bad habits with good habits not only helped me lose weight, it most likely saved my life, so why not share my experiences with anyone interested in helping themselves.
I am not a doctor, and if you are going to change your diet or do any exercise, I suggest you consult your doctor. I do not claim any of my suggestions will help you, I am simply sharing what I have done to improve my life. It is my body, if I don't take care of it, where will I live?
I wish you peace, happiness, health and lots of laughter, not necessarily in that order. To read more about me please go to The Whole Story Page.
If you would like me to do a workshop in your area on qi gong, yoga, jin shin jyutsu, frequency healing and energy exercises, email me at HealinTheEarth@aol.com . I look forward to working with you!
