Guilford resident and seminar
leader Beverly Sastri promises to show you how to create a life
worth living at her one-day workshop, "Create a Life You
Love," at the Women & Family Life Center April 9.
"This will be a basic training
session, really just a starter version of the larger point of
the work I teach," said Sastri. "We will approach the
first important piece of work, which is a shift in perspective."
But what is the large point of
work that Sastri teaches? Well, it is at once molecular, universal,
energy-driven, action-oriented, coincidence-aware, and reliant
on the human mind as well as the essential "sixth sense."
Sastri owns and operates Power
Source Now, LLC, the company she created several years ago and
through which she offers workshops on self improvement and lifestyle
skills.
Adults learn how to tap into
their intuitive selves and the collective forces of the entire
universe with the goal of creating happy and harmonious lives,
Sastri said. Whether it is you or the tree beside you, the chair
on which you sit or your neighbor's dog, one thing is certain,
Sastri said - everything has been, is, and always will be connected.
"The same molecules and
atoms that make up you make up everything in the universe,"
said Sastri. "When you shift your perspective so that you
know that this pure energetic dynamic is happening, all of a sudden
you begin to realize that when you take an action it's the same
as when you are in a pool of water. The waves reach out everywhere."
With an MBA from Cornell University,
the former marketing manager and director for Fortune 100 companies
dove into spiritual study nearly a decade ago and observed "the
extraordinary events that occur when people work with the energetic
dynamics that illuminate our lives." The result was a career
change of the highest order.
Recent studies have concluded
that the work-driven culture of middle class America has taken
its toll on the human soul.
One study showed that three in
10 employees will have a mental health problem in any one year,
mainly depression and anxiety. Boredom, feelings of isolation,
even complaints of musculo-skeletal disorders and other physical
ailments are on the rise.
According to the National Institutes
of Health 2003 National Comorbidity Study, 35 million Americans
- more than 16 percent of the population - suffer from depression
severe enough to warrant treatment at some time in their lives.
About 97 percent of those reporting
depression also reported that their work, home life and relationships
suffered as a result. In other words, they were not creating lives
that they loved.
"We are all in one huge
energy pool," Sastri said. "The dynamic is happening
whether you engage in it or not. Getting back in touch with your
higher truth, deep knowing, or inner voice is a natural and integral
function. I teach people how to become attuned to that voice."
