Dr.
Helaine Sheias, RYT, CGF is a certified international group facilitator
and Kripalu inspired Hatha yoga teacher registered with Yoga Alliance. She
is an eco-spiritual counselor and Universal Life Minister and is the Executive
Director of the LEAP - Life Empowerment Action Program. She holds a doctoral
degree in Human Sciences and a Masters in Child Developmental, with a focus
on Special Education. Helaine is the Originator of Eco-Yoga Healing: an
Earth-based Spiritual approach to health and wellbeing. She is a graduate
of the Socially Engaged Spirituality program at Saybrook Graduate School.
A pious believer in the Yogic ''My body is my Temple'' philosophy, Helaine's life passion is to introduce yoga as an instrument for transformation and self- empowerment, thus bringing about a greater sense of spiritual consciousness and bodily awareness to individuals. Her goal is to teach people how to maintain sacredness in their lives by consistently embodying a sense of 'wholeness', i.e., by exploring their relationship with their mind, body and spirit, from a place of equanimity and self-acceptance.
It is Helaine's dream to sow the seeds of sacred healing throughout the continents and to gradually transform them into kernels of hope and peace, thus bridging all people together in love, truth and integrity.
The Magic of it All ~
Now that the fog has cleared
I am able to see things differently,
in a light, brighter and shinier than ever before.
You have taught me the wisdom of beauty
and the realms of worthiness.
You have shown me the path to revelation, each day anew,
as I awaken to a new dawn.
I embrace the splendor you have bestowed upon me.
Timidly, I begin to touch upon its valor and strength,
while the fear that it may dissolve momentarily before my very eyes grows stronger.
There lays a sanctity of sorts in our bonding,
in the interconnectedness we share between soul and spirit,
water and air,
earth and fire.
I struggle to find the words in which to express my thoughts,
my feelings,
my sensations.
Yet, it is my body which assures me that this is real,
for it is she
who has been genuinely touched
by the magic of it all.
