Highland Yoga, Kinnelon, NJ

In this training you will dive more deeply into your practice and understanding of Reiki. You will receive the Reiki Level 2 attunements, three of the Reiki symbols with their mantras, and learn techniques for distance healing and 2 additional modalities to focus and send Reiki energy. 

This training allows you to open to deeper emotional and spiritual healing, working within the auric field. During this training we will spend time learning and practicing the Reiki symbols, mantras, and new techniques of distance healing. You will also receive a comprehensive manual and ongoing email and telephone support. 

Please bring a lunch or snack, plenty of water to drink, and anything else you’ll need to care for yourself.

Angela Cays has been working towards transforming suffering and empowering others for decades as a high school math teacher and tutor; licensed professional counselor (LPC) with adults, teens, groups and couples; and as a yoga instructor since the fall of 2006. She guides her students to reveal light and shadow, to become more fully embodied and aware of all layers of our being (koshas); to awaken intuition, life force energy (prana), and touch moments of deep peace as well as great expansion.   

Her continued education as a counselor and yoga instructor led her deeper into the subtle body through learning modules in her advanced yoga teacher training with Sheryl and Neil Edsall at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA on Psychotherapy and Spirituality, as well as Psychology of the Chakras, Mind Body Integration, and Creating on Purpose with Anodea Judith.  Having a spark of curiosity about Reiki when she first started taking yoga classes, it was about 20 years later, as a continuation of studying and working with the subtle body, she received her Level I, Level II and Reiki Master training and attunements from her beloved teacher, Sheryl Edsall, along with the radiant Eileen Alexander.  

Angela benefits deeply from practicing Reiki for self-care in addition to sharing this healing modality with others.  Through many years of studying and teaching yoga, and receiving the Reiki attunements, she continues to develop a more heightened awareness of subtle body energy. She feels honored to hold a sacred space for healing and growth through the universal energy of Reiki, as well as her group yoga classes, workshops and kirtans, private yoga, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping sessions.

Recent past offerings: 

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping Circle on Zoom

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as Tapping, is a practice that involves tapping on the endpoints of energy meridians in your body which awakens your relaxation response, reduces feelings of stress, and brings a calm, grounded, yet expansive feeling. 

This practice can support healing from illness and disease as well as open you to clarity and intuition. Bringing the body out of stress and into the relaxation response allows our immune system to function optimally and our mind to be clear to find solutions to challenges or pathways to our peace and joy in life. 

We will be tapping with a few existing scripts addressing our universal experiences of stress, struggle and affirmation, as well as impromptu scripts based on your own challenges should you choose to share them anonymously or in person. 

Investment $20

Offered on Zoom via Highland Yoga on March 28, 2021.

Inter-being: I am you. You are me. A return to unity. Acoustic Kirtan with Angela Cays.

Chanting mantra opens the door to Interbeing. We chant to connect to our true nature, our highest self, as well as create a space to hold our suffering self and the suffering of the world with love and compassion. We chant to remember the presence of the divine in us, around us, and in each other; recognizing the other in ourselves and ourselves in the other. 

This is true for our light and our shadow. We honor the celebrations and joys as well as affirm the hardships and difficulties including our contributions to both. We can use the energy from Kirtan to expand us and inspire us to hold and transform our own suffering as well as the suffering of each other and the collective consciousness. And as we do our own transformative and healing work, we are energized and inspired to do more to help each other and live our gifts into this life for the good of all beings. 

“We inter-are. We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Interrelationship – poem by Thich Nhat Hanh

You are me, and I am you.

Isn’t it obvious that we “inter-are”?

You cultivate the flower in yourself,

so that I will be beautiful.

I transform the garbage in myself,

so that you will not have to suffer.

I support you;

you support me.

I am in this world to offer you peace;

you are in this world to bring me joy.

(from “Call me by My True Names  – The Collected Poems of Thich Nhat Hanh”, Parallax Press, 2005.)

Hummee Hum Brahm Hum

This beautiful mantra, Hummee Hum Brahm Hum, means We are We, We are God. We are made from the same Purna / complete wholeness and perfection / as God. May we take refuge in that and remember to live as often as we can from that place. 

You can just listen and relax your body to feel the energy of this mantra or you can chant along. Bhakti yoga is about showing up with whatever feelings you have, sadness, longing, grief, joy, and allowing the energy of the practice to penetrate for your highest good. 

I first heard a recording of this by Siri Sadhana Kaur in my teacher, Sheryl Edsall’s yoga class. You can hear the longing in it, to call out to God, the Divine, to remember who we are and that we are all connected, all made from the light of God. 

I was moved to learn to play it to share in my yoga classes and in Kirtan which I will be giving this Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2pm on Zoom via www.highlandyoga.com The theme is... 

Remembering Our True Nature: 

From the Shadow to the Light. 

We will infuse our Kirtan with moments of EFT tapping utilizing mantras, affirmations and dharma readings to recognize and honor our individual and collective shadow and realize how it inspires our shift back to the light.

Taking Refuge in the Divine, a Kirtan; plus Upcoming Level 1 Reiki Training

Taking Refuge in the Divine: 

A Kirtan with Angela Cays 

plus the musical magic of Param Joe Rosolen

This event scheduled for Sunday, March 22, 1:30-3:30pm

 was cancelled due to the pandemic. 

It was rescheduled and held via Zoom on 

Sunday, November 15, 2020 at 2pm. 

Highland Yoga, Kinnelon, NJ

www.highlandyoga.com

Investment: $30

Join us for an afternoon of taking refuge in the vibrations of the sacred sounds of the Divine, the shared energy of our amazing community, and the embodied dharma of light and love. 

When we chant the sacred sounds of the Divine, connecting to the energies of Light and Love, we feel a holding and a comfort, which is the practice of taking refuge. We can simply celebrate the knowing and embrace of this light and love; or perhaps, we need to feel the transformation out of a darker moment or place into the light via the holding of this unconditional love. 

Angela will weave together the chanting of mantras, brief readings to highlight the dharma, and periods of meditative silence to create an afternoon of refuge, healing, and inspiration.
