SEPTEMBER THE SELF-EMPOWERMENT ISSUE Coming Next Month Emotional Well-Being Plus: Adaptive Yoga news briefs Free Health Care for Essential Workers at Bhakti Wellness Center As a way to show gratitude for essential workers during this pandemic, Bhakti Wellness Center, in Edina, is offering free care to local healthcare workers, grocery store employees, fire department personnel and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) for the entire month of August. Services included in this free essential healthcare campaign are chiropractic exam and adjustments, and socially distanced community acupuncture and community bioelectric medicine, for managing stress, anxiety, depression and physical pain. In addition to these in-clinic services, they are also providing free loans of bioelectric medicine stress management devices to be used on-site at healthcare facilities. Bhakti Wellness Center is Minnesota’s largest, diverse and integrative medicine clinic, with 30 healthcare providers across the spectrum of care. Their mission is to support providers in having personal and professionally rewarding careers in health care while affording healthcare consumers access to high quality, affordable and integrative care to live their fullest lives. Bhakti Wellness Center is being joined in their effort by Heart of Dance, a local nonprofit organization that delivers the physical, mental and emotional benefits of partner dance to youth, seniors, veterans and other at-risk communities, and is now providing free Zoom virtual dance lessons for frontline workers. “We have deep admiration and gratitude for the essential workers,” shares Guy Odishaw, founder of Bhakti Wellness Center. “The long hours, difficult conditions, the risk and sacrifices they and their families have made—they are running a marathon at a sprinter’s pace. They deserve to stop for a moment, rest and recharge.” Location: 7550 France Ave. S., Ste. 220, Edina. For more information, visit BhaktiClinic.com. See ad, page 23.

Johnson received his Doctor in Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University and has been in practice for four years. He brings experience in family and pediatric chiropractic care as well as more advanced activator methods and physiotherapy to provide an excellent range in chiropractic care. “I am 100 percent committed to serving our patients at the level of care they are accustomed to,” says Johnson. “And I’m excited to bring the additional techniques and treatments to serve them even better.” Location: 6600 France Ave S., #206, Edina.

Mount Shasta is a magical place. The pure energy the mountain radiates makes it easy to connect with the deepest essence and remember true purpose. During the virtual retreat, participants will be guided to places on the mountain that will support them in receiving the wondrous gifts that Mount Shasta has to offer. With Rugolo as the spiritual guide, participants will be supported in letting go of old fears and limitations and opening to the incredible love and wisdom within, receiving clear guidance for the next chapter of their life. The retreat begins in the cleansing streams of the Mount Shasta River and ends at the top of the mountain. In between, participants will be led in powerful meditations; learn how to open to the messages of the mountain; and to expand their consciousness, which will continue long after the day is over. “Any place that we can visit in person, we can visit energetically,” states Rugolo. “Many times, the results are even more profound.” Cost: $198.
