Monica Myles, Community Development Manager for the Nevada Donor Network, explained how the Nevada Donor Network is organized and why it is so important to consider becoming a registered donor.  One organ donor can save up to 8 lives!  One tissue donor can save and heal 75 lives!  We received excellent and thoughtful questions from the audience that dispelled a lot of myths and misunderstandings.

 

It's easy to register when you visit the DMV or online.

Friday morning we will hear and participate in a presentation by Stephen Jacobs on Transcendental Meditation.  He studied under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (of Beatles fame) in Europe in the 1980s and has been practicing and teaching the technique since then.

 

The meditation technique is easy to learn and has substantial evidence-based health benefits (including stress reduction, improved brain function, and cardiovascular health improvements).  It doesn't focus on breathing or chanting like other forms of meditation.  It is effortless and anyone can learn how to do it, even children.

 

My wife and I were fortunate to have taken Stephen's course 8 years ago and have found the practice of meditation invaluable for improving our mental clarity, reducing stress levels, and helping us cope with difficult situations with a sense of calmness and inner peace.  

 

If you have struggled with other types of meditation but would like to improve your mental, emotional and physical health, this technique would be perfect for you.

 

This would be a great meeting to invite your friends or family members to attend.  See you Friday!

We now have successfully interfaced with the built-in speaker system at Swill Coffee & Wine.  This provides excellent audio quality for the entire audience regardless of seat location.  Be sure to thank Pete Krup of Swill Coffee & Wine for allowing and assisting in the necessary electrical connections.
