Watch for more information and registration at www.stws.org this summer.

Sept 11-12
Level 2 Breath~Body~Mind
Dr. Brown & Dr. Gerbarg will teach an advance, Level 2 workshop for those who have completed the regular Level 1 workshop and who have been using the Level 1 Practice CD regularly for at least 2 months. Completion of Level 1 and regular practice of at least 3 times a week are prerequisites for this workshop. This is necessary to prepare the mind and body for the more intense practices included in Level 2.

Sept 25-26
Level 1 Breath~Body~Mind
September and October are particularly difficult times for the 9/11 Community. While this workshop is open to all, we wish to reach out to those who may be affected by the anniversary of the World Trade Center Attacks.

Serving Those Who Serve (STWS), a non-profit group provides services to people suffering from physical and emotional illnesses related to the NY September 11th World Trade Center Attacks. The 9/11 Community includes First Responders, Ground Zero workers, WTC workers and their families, and area residents. STWS sponsors our Breath~Body~Mind© program for relief of physical and emotional distress as well as for personal development. Workshops are open to the public and a portion of the profits are donated to STWS. In addition to positive feedback from participants, preliminary research data indicate significant improvement in anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms (Martin Katzman and Monica Vermani, in process). See www.stws.org.

STWS also provides Drs. Pankaj and Smita Naram’s Ayurvedic herbs (at cost) to help detoxify people exposed to chemical fumes from the WTC attacks and from working at Ground Zero. James J. Dahl, Ph.D., Research Director, Phoenix House Foundation, and Dr. Katherine Falk reported on a web-based survey of 50 people affected by the WTC attacks who were treated with these Ayurvedic herbs. All 50 respondents reported significant improvements in long standing, intractable respiratory symptoms, fatigue, and depression that had not responded to standard treatments. This article appeared in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. Jan/Feb 2008; 14(1):24-48. Correspondence: jdahl@phoenixhouse.org For Dr. Naram see: (www.ayushakti-usa.com).

For This Virtual Classroom Registration: In addition to instruction and demonstration of techniques, there will be some paired and small group exercises during this seminar. On-line participants will be able to ask questions.

Based on their extensive research, Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg have combined the most rapidly effective breathing techniques to relieve stress and improve mood, mental focus, heart and lung function, and endurance. The benefits have been enjoyed by health care practitioners, Buddhist monks and nuns, teachers of yoga and other mind-body practices, military veterans, individuals with psychiatric (eg. anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD) and medical conditions (eg. cancer, lung problems, toxic exposures), and victims of terrorism, war and natural disasters. Many people who have worked with Dr. Brown say they have been transformed, and that they never would have imagined that something so simple would have been so powerful and helpful.

In this workshop you will learn how to:

• Balance your stress response system for stress resilience and energy renewal
• Release tension, dispel anxiety, sleep soundly, and quiet your mind
• Increase your lung capacity, oxygenation, and cardio-respiratory health
• Improve recovery from negative life experiences or trauma
• Feel more connected to your inner self and to others
• Improve your relationships and empathic abilities
