During meditation, the conscious mind becomes less busy, and awareness is thus allowed to recede back to deeper levels of your being. Once that happens, things you had repressed or chosen to overlook in life are there waiting for you; once exposed, these aspects can be healed or worked with. On January 24, at Barefoot Living Arts in Fairfield, from 6 to 8pm, come to an enlightening evening with Dr. Gulrukh Bala to explore the shadow self and find out how you can benefit from knowing it more deeply.

Bala is an internationally known lifestyle motivator, success coach, writer, philosopher and healer. As the founder and teacher of Heartlight Ascension (HeartlightAscension.com), a form of integral/supramental yoga, she is coaching people in the practical application of law of attraction as a tool for self-empowerment and self-realization. Bala has authored four books and created six CDs for healing. She is about to release her fifth book on crystals, which explores the healing relationship between the human soul and this natural gift to humankind.
