Grace Blessings with Erica Rock
~ Happiness, Freedom & Enlightenment
at Yoga by Donation, Portsmouth NH
Every second Wednesday of the month, 7:00 - 8:30 pm
The class is by donation. However, there is a fee for the e-book and materials
which are requied for class participation.
Pre-registration Required - with Erica at 603-512-3865 or erica@ericarock.com
(Erica will only run this class if there are sufficient registrants, so please register)
Receive Initiations to Enlightenment~Get Happy~Get Empowered!
Wake up the Divine Intelligence within you. Learn how to access it, what to expect in the process, how to allow it to be easier & enjoy it to the max! Experience a flowering of consciousness without work. You will receive initiations to enlightenment. Once the Divine Presence is walking this planet as you, once you are in the flow of life that supplies all wants and needs, creating the life you want is fun, easy, joyful and exciting. Suffering, conflict and struggle cease. Synchronicities become commonplace as you rendezvous with who and what you want in perfect timing. You will become unsinkable as you experience the presence within as a close friend and confidant. You will awaken to your true self and once you awaken you become a force for awakening the rest of humanity.
Grace Blessings are different, so you cannot compare it to anything else. For example, your crown, third eye, and other chakras will open and balance, but we won't discuss, think about, or work on your chakras. Issues will resolve that you didn't work on. You won't work on anything in this class. Upon awakening, issues and limitations fall away, gradually for some, rapidly for others.
You do your 10%, Grace does 90% of it for you. You learn to let The Divine do the heavy lifting. Grace Blessings activate / deepens spiritual enlightenment, reconnects & upgrades your DNA, lights up your light body, wakes up your full power, ignites your inner genius and resolves your "issues". We humorously refer to it as getting on the automatic upgrade program of spiritual awakening. Once it begins, it keeps unfolding like a beautiful lotus.
The energy exchange for this event is BY DONATION. However, there is an E-book that is STRONGLY required and accompanies this work, without it you may not understand what is happening to you and the transition can be more challenging as the mind tends to fight to the end! For $12, you will be e-mailed the E-book when you arrive and register for this workshop. Or, for $14.95, you can obtain the printed version at class.
Bio: Erica Rock was in silent communion with the Presence speaking to no other human being. She received a gift: the ability to give Divine Grace to others to awaken, heal, resolve psychological issues & end suffering. The energy that comes through her frees the body, mind, emotions & spirit. For more info please visit her website, www.ericarock.com |

Live Foods!
Introduction to Foods that are Healthy, Tasty,
Easy-to-prepare and Emotionally Satisfying
Bob Vaccaro Testimonial (see student testimonials over):
Though I have been mostly vegan for over 30 years, I have depended on an extensive yoga practice for the last 15 of those years to keep body stiffness at bay. In the Fall of November, 2007, I completed Alissa Cohen’s 5-day intensive training for living on live foods and shifted from eating perhaps 50% raw plant-based foods to close to 100%. I can hardly believe how much better I feel! I am offering this introductory class out of my enthusiasm for how good this living on live foods can be for so much of what ails us and our planet.
When we cook plant-based foods, we destroy their digestion-enhancing enzymes and many important vitamins and we dilute their naturally great tastes. We over-eat easily on cooked (and processed) foods because our bodies hunger for the nutrition that is lost in the cooking. It is much harder to over-eat live foods because our bodies know at a deep level when we have taken in sufficient nutrition.
The purpose of this 4-hour workshop is to introduce you to how easy it can be to prepare several live dishes that are also delicious and emotionally satisfying. You will leave feeling the health benefits and wanting to expand your live foods intake.
I offer this workshop on most second Saturdays of the month, from noon - 4 pm, at my home at 411 Middle Street in Portsmouth (carriage house door at top of the driveway). The fee for this workshop including food is BY DONATION. Please pre-register by emailing me at bob@yogabydonation.org or by calling my home at 603-430-4013. Arrive hungry – prepared to sample the foods we prepare!
