LABYRINTH A Labyrinth is an ancient imprint which recaptures the feminine sense of the source of the Divine. The single winding sacred path of a labyrinth leads one into the center and out again, inviting entry into one’s own sacred center. It provides a space that allows clarity to significant life questions. The labyrinth invites our intuitive, pattern- seeking, symbolic mind to come forth, rather than our literal thinking mind. To enter a labyrinth is to choose to walk a spiritual path. Marilyn Larson has created a three circuit portable labyrinth for WomanWell. You are invited to walk this sacred path Tuesday through Thursday, 9 AM - 4 PM. Please telephone 651-739-7953 to determine availability. 
REIKI “Like billowing clouds, like the incessant gurgle of the brook, the longing of the soul (consciousness) can never be stilled.” -Hildegard of Bingen Reiki-‘The Light Touch’ will assist you in aligning your energy on many levels to achieve balance from the inside out. By learning the function of the seven body-spirit energy vortex called chakras, practicing meditations and techniques for working with your energy flow, visualization and spiritual exercises, you can bring your energies into balance. Relaxation, greater focus, dissolving energy blocks, gaining confidence, sustaining balance, releasing old belief systems or emotions, and achieving clarity are possible benefits of Reiki. You may think that difficult situations and emotions you experience are caused by other people or random events. Reiki work will convince you that inner imbalance is not caused by situations in the outer world – instead your imbalances create the situations that interfere with your sense of well being and peace. Please consider that both truth and communication begin with a simple gesture: TOUCH, the authentic voice of feeling. The loving that cannot be spoken – nothing need be said, for everything is understood. Linda L. Lintgen, Reiki Practitioner at WomanWell says “ Tactile interaction-touching-has deep impact on all facets of human development. The Mother and Father of one’s well being -Reiki (ray-kee) massage, which I call ‘The Light Touch’ because its source is Universal Energy…has called me ‘in’ as a practitioner from my prior profession of educator.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture is one of the key components of the system of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM views the body as a delicate balance of two opposing and inseparable forces: yin and yang. Yin represents the cold, slow, or passive principle, while yang represents the hot, excited, or active principle. A foundational principle in TCM is that "health" is achieved by maintaining an internal balance of Yin and Yang, while "disease" is due to an internal imbalance. Such an inbalance may lead to blockage in the flow of qi (vital energy) along certain pathways in the body (known as meridians), causing pain, fatigue, emotional highs and lows, and various other physical, mental and emotional symptoms. Acupuncture and TCM are recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as effective in treating some of the following conditions: Addictions Emotional Problems
Allergies Fibromyalgia
Carpal tunnel Syndrome Headache
Common Cold Insomnia
Digestive Problems Pain
and many other conditions too numerous to list here.
