Be Happy Regardless!
Greetings & Notes from KIM EVANS - August 2015
  
Welcome to August!  We are so blessed to live in an area that has all 4 seasons!  I am so enjoying this summer and being outdoors, whether it's going to Lake Cumberland, sitting on our deck watching the magnificent sunsets or playing tennis with Dave!  I hope you are enjoying these warm lovely days as well!  Our theme this month is " Be Happy Regardless."  Having a positive attitude sure can help shift emotions of fear, guilt and sadness.  See my Health Tip for more help on choosing happiness!

Cynthia Bowling is our Practitioner of the Month.  She is a gifted therapist who does Advanced Integrative Therapy.  She has helped many of us heal underlying trauma (which may be subconscious) so our path to happiness is open.

We have another full month of classes and opportunities for you to expand your happiness!

Love,
Kim

*Mark your calendars now and join us at IIM on Wednesday, September 9th for a special evening with local author/guest speaker, Richard Rowland.  His book " Unspoken Messages" includes powerful stories of healing and Divine Synchronicities regarding his personal health and that of his many horses and other farm animals. ~ Kim

IIM HEALTH TIP OF THE MONTH ~ AUGUST 2015
AUGUST Health Tip:  Be Happy Regardless!  Watch VIDEO!
Kim Evans, IIM, 502.253.4554, info@integrativemedicine4u.com

Be Happy Regardless!  
I have found this a great personal motto to live by.  Happiness is a choice.  So many times when I am upset or have a conflict, I find that it's really just my own expectations out of alignment with Divine Order.  If I can just breathe and allow/accept things to unfold as they do, I find that with time, hindsight often provides 20/20 vision of Divine Perfection.  This hindsight may reveal a Divine Blessing - the silver lining of the cloud!

At the same time some events in our lives can be overwhelming - such as the loss of a loved one or the loss of a job.  I call this the "cosmic kicks."  We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience.  And we are meant to experience ALL human emotions.  Yet sometimes it's overwhelming.  When the powerful emotions of grief, sorrow or emotional pain seem to be too much, know that we have several practitioners here at the Institute for Integrative Medicine who can help you through these times.  Let us help you process your emotions, move these energies and help heal your mind and Spirit and restore you back to your true nature of love, wholeness, and health so you can get back to Being Happy Regardless.


Love,
Kim Evans

IIM PRACTITIONER OF THE MONTH ~ AUGUST 2015

Meet Cynthia Bowling...
Cynthia Bowling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years experience as a therapist working with adults, children, adolescents, families and couples.  She is the only Therapist in Kentucky who is a Certified Practitioner in Advanced Integrative Therapy, developed by Asha Clinton, Ph.D.  She is also a certified AIT Teacher.

Advanced Integrative Therapy or AIT, is a dynamic and new in-depth energy psychology that begins from the premise that ALL upsetting events are traumas and are lodged within the body, mind and spirit.  Talking gives us insight into our issues, but often does too little to remove them.  AIT removes the energy within us that is made up of our particular responses to the incidents and patterns that hurt or upset us throughout our lives.  The healing is gentle, effective and complete... promoting psychological, physical and spiritual healing by treating not just the symptoms, but the originating causes of present day difficulties that fracture human wholeness.

AIT integrates the best established and proven psychotherapies, and then adds a new energy psychology element that is body-based. This simply and gently addresses and clears those aspects of the issue in the body, mind, and spirit.  In this way, the issue gets completely resolved!

I'VE GOT YOUR BACK! ~ AUGUST 2015
 I've Got Your Back ~ August 2015

This month I am excited to say "I've Got Your Back" for one of my colleagues in our office at IIM, Kimberly May!    Kimberly is steadfast in her stand for love, inspiration and empowering those around her to transform their lives - body, mind and Spirit.  She has touched each of us deeply and certainly has helped each of us to see the Divine Order of events and circumstances especially when our limited human belief systems stop us in our tracks.  She has certainly helped us to " Be Happy Regardless!"  She recently recreated her website, Inspire Wellness, which is amazing!  
Check it out! Inspire Wellness   
She has a blog and her most recent post fit perfectly with our " Be Happy Regardless!" theme this month.  She reminds us that happiness is a choice even when we have those "cosmic kicks!"
Kimberly, we are proud to say:  " We have your back" as you constantly demonstrate that you have ours!  ~ Kim

"Will I let this Pest take my Peace?" ~ Kimberly May
I felt overwhelmed and stressed.  I looked out my window and then walked outside for a break from it all.  I saw the creek and it called me to come in for a bit.  Then I got poetic:


     Standing in the creek with slippery soft stones under my feet

     Cool water engulfs my ankles and ripples around me
     The clouds above call me to faraway places
     Grateful for this respite from the concrete, concerns and computer
     I am calm, cool and carefree in this moment of grace

     Suddenly, I feel a mosquito bite sting my leg.
     I'm back to reality to the work I need to do, and I am present to pain.
     I breathe and return to the flow of grace that's always there.
     Then I feel the whelp rising on my leg.  I look at it and ask,
     "Will I let this pest take my peace?"
     No, I choose peace over pain.  
     I breathe deep again and bring the peace and grace with me to use as a touch stone
     throughout my days.

Do you have pests around you, trying to take your peace?

An Introduction to the
HAKOMI Method...
combining the Eastern traditions of mindfulness and non-violence with a unique, highly effective methodology for personal growth and self-study.

Saturday, October 17th 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
& Sunday, October 18th 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

A workshop for psychotherapists, counselors, social workers, health care workers, healing arts practitioners, and students in these fields, and individuals seeking to experience the Hakomi Method. (12 NASW and NBCC CEs, application pending for KY Brd of Nursing contact hours)

The Hakomi Method combines the Eastern traditions of mindfulness and non-violence with a unique, highly effective methodology for personal growth and self-study.

Hakomi is mindful, experiential body-centered psychotherapy.  The body's structures and habitual patterns become a powerful doorway to unconsious core material, including the hidden core beliefs that shape our lives, relationships, and self-images.

By working with direct experience, the Hakomi Method quickly accesses this core material, allowing it to emerge safely into consciousness.  Once conscious, it can be re-evaluated, and where appropriate, powerfully transformed.  New dimensions of awareness can be integrated, helping the individual to build a more satisfying and effective life.

Faculty:  Gregory Gaiser, PC, Hakomi Trainer/Matrix Leadership Senior Trainer
Gregory is a Hakomi veteran of over 30 years.  Originally trained as a bodyworker, Gregory has taught traditional Hakomi in the U.S., Europe, Canada and New Zealand since the early 1990's.  More recently he brought this approach to Japan.  In addition to Hakomi, his educational background includes a variety of modalities, including Buddhist meditation, EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.  His true passion is assisting people to live embodied, purposeful and spiritually connected lives.  He currently resides in Austin, Texas with his two dogs, Rex and Zara.

What is Integrative Medicine?  Integrative Medicine is a relatively new field of Medicine.  The University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine defines it as "healing-oriented medicine that takes into account the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle.  It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative."  Our approach is leading edge; it makes use of every available tool to set you on the path for optimal health.

Our Philosopy:  The practitioners of 205 Townepark Circle believe in helping people to achieve optimal health in mind, body, and spirit.  Our philosopy is to treat the whole person and to help and support you through many facets of your health and wellbeing.
As Hippocrates said:  "It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has". 

We are excited to partner in your care!
