Craniosacral work is a holistic healing practice that uses light pressure to optimize a movement pattern within the body known as the "cranial wave." The Navajos call the cranial wave “wind's child,” a holy messenger wind that enters the body, while other traditions call this life-sustaining energy prana, chi, spirit or bioelectric energy. In this foundational hands-on workshop series, you will learn the basics of craniosacral energy work, experience its profound but gentle power, and open your channels of perception and intuition. This basic level training is intended for professional bodyworkers and other therapists as well as for anyone on the self-healing journey.

Located in Chicago's South Loop, EQUILIBRIUM Energy + Education is a one-of-a-kind wellness center dedicated to state-of-the-art energy-based therapies, classes and workshops.
We now know that the body is not just a physical machine but a dynamic energy system, constantly affected by and responding to a variety of influences, from personal stress to environmental pollution. All these influences can affect the physical, mental and emotional health of the individual.
In the last few decades, quantum physicists have developed ways of measuring energy fields within and around the human body, and understanding how their interplay affects us. This research has also helped Western minds understand Eastern energy-based practices, like acupuncture, that have been in use for thousands of years.
As a result, the concept of how to achieve personal wellness is changing dramatically, and an exciting range of energy-based therapies are emerging — subtle but extremely powerful, non-invasive, research-based approaches to help bring the individual gently, quickly and easily into balance.
EQUILIBRIUM Energy + Education is delighted to offer many of these leading-edge therapies, including Reiki, Holographic Memory Resolution®, sound and other vibrational therapies, art therapies, breath work, color and light therapies including Colorpuncture and Aura-Soma, and more. We also offer leading-edge thinking through published research about energy-based therapies as well as classes, workshops and seminars.
We invite you to explore, enjoy and be empowered at EQUILIBRIUM Energy + Education, and discover how easy it can be to relax, revitalize and reach new levels of harmony in body, mind and soul.
JULY EVENTS
RELATIONSHIPS AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
with Brent Baum
Friday, July 11
7 to 9 PM $30
Moments of stress and trauma activate a freezing process that causes us to restrict ourselves emotionally in order to survive and, if left unhealed, become a beacon to attract only those who are also emotionally restricted. One of the greatest advantages of healing our memories is the restoration of our capacity for relationship. When we reclaim ourselves from these moments of pain and overwhelm, restoring our sense of safety and integrity, we open new doors to intimacy. Learn how with Brent Baum, inventor of Holographic Memory Resolution.
KEYS TO CONSCIOUS MANIFESTATION
with Brent Baum
Tuesday, July 29
7 to 9 PM $30
Embedded in the cells and fields of our bodies is the potential to focus our intention and to create beauty, healthy, intimacy, abundance and mystical oneness. Movies like What the Bleep Do We Know and The Secret have reminded us of our true potential to become “conscious” creators. But the invitation – and challenge – is greater still: to master our states of consciousness. We create through the combined influence of the Superconscious, Unconscious, Subconscious and Conscious Mind. We will examine and learn some strategies to gain mastery of the Quantum Mind and its power over our health, relationships, abundance and manifestation.
NIGHT AT THE GALOS SALT CAVES
Tuesday, July 15
7 to 8 PM $15
Salt therapy has been practiced in Eastern Europe for hundreds of years because of its purported healing powers to ease respiratory problems, and we at Equilibrium – who have made several trips to Galos Caves in Portage Park – can attest to that. Galos Caves is one of the first businesses to bring the concept to Chicago, and it took them six months to import the 20 tons of salt needed to make the cave. Inside, the air is saturated with iodine and salt, giving it anti-inflammatory effects for helping respiratory tract problems, sinus problems, hypothyroidism, cardiovascular problems and immune disorders, Proponents say 45 minutes there is equivalent to three days at the ocean. We love it so much, we booked this night exclusively for Equilibrium clients. For more information about Galos Caves, go to: www.galoscaves.com/_en/ofirmie.htm
JAPANESE REIKI TECHNIQUES
with Mickey Parent
A series of three workshops for Reiki practitioners only, as follows:
Workshop One: Uniting Heaven, Earth and Heart
Thursday, July 10
6 to 7:30 PM $30
Open to all levels of Reiki practitioners. Balancing the energy center of the body promotes the free flow of energy which allows us to experience a permanent connection to the universal flow of Ki. Learn Japanese techniques to experience, cultivate, balance and strengthen our three energy centers: Earth Ki, Heaven Ki, and Heart Ki. These techniques will help improve your health and strengthen your treatments for yourself and others.
Workshop Two:
Working With the Five Precepts
Thursday, July 24
6 to 7:30 PM $30
Open to all levels of Reiki practitioners. The Precepts appear to be practical reminders on how to get the most out of life, but the true purpose of the system is to improve the mind and body. Learning to work with the precepts helps us achieve a deeper interaction and connection with them which can bring about powerful changes.
Workshop Three: Deepening Our Connection to the Symbols and Mantras
Thursday, July 31
6 to 7:30 PM $30
Open to Level II Reiki practitioners and above. The use of Reiki symbols and mantras invokes a specific energy when used for treating others.
