January Meeting
 
MHCC 3-Prong Approach
 
  1. Heal Personally: Bring hands to center of chest, with pinkie and ring fingers bent into palm, knuckles of middle fingers touching, and index and thumbs touching. Touch thumbs to chest. Inhale deeply and chant "Wa-he Guru" 40 times; start with 16 times. Time: 31 minutes; start with 10-15 min. To increase Self Confidence.

  2. Grow Professionally: The Business of Spiritual Leadership.  See our "Monthly Expert 'Gems.'"

  3. Build Community: Using our approach to networking, people will know you, like you, and trust you. This can translate into 27 million relationships! For more information, come to our next meeting. Details below.
 
Manhattan Holistic Chamber of Commerce (MHCC) is offering a unique opportunity for innovative healthcare education and distribution, strong community support and corporate transformation.  We offer you an opportunity to be part of an historic moment that will shift Manhattan consciousness- and then the world's.  

We are among the light seekers: Integrative Medical Doctors, Integrative Holistic Dentists, Integrative Podiatrist, Homeopathist, Chiropractors, Psychotherapists, Nutritionists, Acupuncturist, Coaches and Body Workers- from Rolfer to Massage to Physical Therapist...dedicated to heal personally, grow professionally, and build community.

To meet like-hearted people and experience the energy of our meeting first hand, we hope you will come to our meeting next month. Details below.  


A synopsis of January's meeting:

  • As a result of the many interactive activities provided, people were meaningfully engaged with each other. We heard, "...people here are so warm.  It's refreshing and inspiring."

  • We love offering options and each month a new set of questions replace the old, ineffective “What do you do?” You can learn a lot about a person after asking, "What is the best advice you ever got and from whom? Or, "What is the bravest thing you've ever done?"

  • Our speaker, Oriya Pollak touched our hearts in, “The Business of Spiritual Leadership." Be sure to hear the wisdom he shared by reading the "Monthly Expert Gems" below.
  • Another high point was our “Resource Exchange” segment where people said what they needed and within seconds other people generously offered to help them. Wonderful examples are below.

  • A new addition is our Monthly Gift. This month's gift was the quote written at the top of this newsletter.  But don't only read the quotes.  As John F. Kennedy said, "...the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
  • Thank you for your feedback. As per last month's survey, we offered you tools to navigate the Spiritual landscape. After tallying this month's survey, we will have an expert speaker in Marketing.  If interested in helping, contact me. See our Top Ten Topics for more specifics.
We’re committed to helping you THRIVE and getting all of us a greater presence at the healthcare table and in the world.  Are you with us?  Hope to see you at our next meeting.


Here’s to us bold innovators!

 Monthly Expert "Gems"

The Business of Spiritual Leadership
by Oriya Pollak 

Oriya is calling us, the leaders, to access our magic. An overview of the presentation.

1. Some basic truths: You're not just alive. You are creating your reality.  What you imagine is possible for you. 
2. DON'T do your New Year's Resolution. Use the winter to "spring board" into spring. 
3. Use winter's space, silence and time to create a clean slate, and ask: What am I experiencing? What do I envision? What do I wish I could be doing if I had the courage to do it?
4. Remember to be easy on yourself. The old approaches no longer apply. Instead use your imagination, your belief systems, your speech, and your inner speech as an indicator of where you are, what is working, what is not, and what you will manifest.

Note: MHCC will host Oriya Pollak's follow up event to help you with whatever is your next step, to spend more one-on-one time, and to connect to a supportive community.
Tuesday, March 22 6-8:30 PM.
