Testimonial

Dear Ken,
Thank you for sharing Phoenix Rising.  In a short amount of time you conveyed the essence of the program.  I'm not sure if program is the right word.  It is more a therapeutic approach that works with the mind/body connection.  This is what I understood.  It was very powerful to observe you work with......

I think the beauty of the experience for me was hearing your personal story and hearing and seeing your genuine passion for the work you do to create healing in the lives of the people you work with.  Clearly  you are well trained and very experienced and also very professional in a caring and compassionate way.

Once I experienced the workshop I recognized that you were using some of the phoenix rising technique with me on Thursday.  I'm afraid it may have appeared that I was discounting the idea that pain can and does have an emotional component.  I had honestly been focusing more on how to approach it in a physical way thinking that stretching, etc., is the only thing to work on.  Your workshop reminded me about the emotional aspect of pain and the importance of considering that possibility.  Although I am well aware of mind/body connection I think I filed away all that I knew.  Your workshop was a very helpful reminder of the connection and an introduction to a unique healing approach.

I wish you well as you continue bringing Phoenix Rising to others.  Your wonderful gifts of genuiness and humor and caring combined with your sound teaching skills instills trust and confidence.

Om Shanti and thank you.

What is Kirtan, or devotional chanting? 
Kirtan is one of the most beautiful and expansive forms to open the heart through devotion and surrender.  Although Kirtan involves singing, it is not necessary to have any musical talent or background, or even a good singing voice.  Kirtan is the music of the heart, and it is sung freely from the heart.  Traditionally, Kirtan is sung in call - and - response form. 
A leader sings a line or two of a song, and the participants sing it back.  The words to the Kirtan songs are often repetitions, usually in Sanskrit, the vibrations of which expand our hearts and mind.
