Michelle Sharing Her Sweetness at Honey Shine Fund's Summer Camp For Young Divas...

Michelle shared the magic of Inner ME Adventures for the Young Girls of Honey Shine Mentoring Program's Summer Camp for girls ages 6-16. Michelle guided the girls on an inner journey into their magnificent "center". We expressed our inner beauty through dance, art, singing, being "silly", and "free form play", we sang together to the music of Myley Cyrus, India Arie, and Beyonce. The girls especially loved partner dance and drawing their Inner ME. Thank you Honey Shine fund and Tracy and Alonzo Mourning for having created this wonderful and inspirational foundation, I look forward to continuing to share the dance in our community and for foundations with worthy causes. I am inspired to continue on this journey, shining my inner light with others so that we all may be inspired to allow our inner light to shine. Together we can change this world, and make it a better place for our youth. I think the greatest gift was to facilitate in these girls their inner journey, their inner connection and awareness of their diaphragm, their core, their inner power. We connected to our body, mind, and spirit. More than ever, I am confident about the mission and power of Nurturing Moves, and how beneficial applying different types of self-discovery and self-healing modalities is to benefit young girls. Lots of love and blessings to all at the Honey Shine Staff, Young Divas, and The Mournings!

Michelle and Iris Nasser featured today LIVE with Martin Llorens, host of National Talk Show Radio Hola Martin!

Michelle (dressed in her favorite red Nourhan Sharif belly dance outfit) and Iris Nasser (Inspirational Singer, Songwriter, and Mother of Four who recently released the CD titled "Tomame") shook it up on the airways with Martin Llorens, host of HOLA MARTIN! and producer Tiffany Ortiz across America speaking about the many Benefits of Belly Dance and Nurturing Moves. The show highlighted how unique belly dance is in that it is a very feminine, healing, and transformational embodiment of our soul. We discussed how the corset muscles help to stabilize and reduce back pain, and how the dance is meant for us to celebrate our uniqueness and prepare us for labor and childbirth, which Iris provided insight from her own personal experience, as she gave birth to her daughter naturally at South Miami Hospital. Women called in to share their love and curiousities about the dance. A 73 year old woman shared that belly dance lifted up her mood and allowed her to connect more to her femininity and sensuality.
We also celebrated the One Year Anniversary of the HOLA MARTIN! being LIVE on Univision Talk Show Radio.
It was my first time ever meeting Martin Llorens, and WOW! He is not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside! He embodies what a balanced and loving man looks like... he radiates energy that is filled with LOVE, COMPASSION, and CARE for his audience. He is Living his Purpose and gratefully sharing it with the world... I see him as a global inspiration, as he transcends all cultures, he is a wise man of so many talents. He inspires his audience to connect with and nurture their whole being on the inside and out. Thank you Martin for offering a high quality and content Radio Show that not only teaches us how to live a healthy lifestyle, but also helps to heal, empower, and awaken our WORLD. Lots of love and blessings,
Michelle

A Woman With A Vision...

Dear World,
I want everyone to know that I want to do a study on the benefits of Nurturing Moves for pregnant women, mothers-babies in the NICU, and children with special needs (focus on ADHD, Depression, Anxiety). I have recently began working again with children with special needs and now more than ever I see the benefit of the work I am doing. The work I have created has been not from my intellect, but from the combination of challenges and rising above the challenges... healing. Today, I thank Divine for giving me all the hardships, all the revelations, and for myself, for having chosen to rise above the darkness with yoga, belly dance, massage, journaling, sharing, listening, Divine diaphragm breathing . I feel so blessed that I have been able to see with great clarity my purpose, to turn those challenges into something positive for our world. The work I do is not about me it is about teaching others the experience the Oneness that is always present within us, in a safe, fun, and personalized way. I am so content, joyful, and happy to come to this realization, that I know I have been inspired to create something so great that I know it has, is, and will continue to change the lives of many individuals even after I leave. I am so happy to be so diversely exposed to physical therapy, yoga, belly dance, massage, Jewish and Catholic Religions, Peruvian and Italian Families, Miami living. All this has brought me this new perspective, of how valuable an integrative and holistic approach is to wellness, healing, and nurturing ourselves and others. Today I celebrate my Self, my Soul, the inner Michelle Maniaci, that of which I AM. I am so blessed to be alive, and I am actively seeking solutions to help support the work I have so passionately developed, being guided by Divine... We are all Creative Vessels. We all have something special to share, if we just take the time to be Still, to surrender within, and allow that Wisdom and Inspiration to flow out of us. Wishing you all a delicious day!
Michelle

Benefits of Exercise, Yoga, Massage for Children With ADHD...

Inner ME Adventures is a therapeutic multi-systems program I developed for the needs of today's special needs children and their parents based on the most current research available to us. This program is a wonderful complement for parents who currently have mainstream therapies such as drugs and behavioral modification. The program is designed to empower children to learn how to and games that activate their INNER FOCUSER, and to connect to the many resources available within themselves to assist them successfully through their dance of life. Link to www.nurturingmoves.com to read the article that was recently published on Today in PT on the benefits of Exercise and Nurturing Moves for children with ADHD.

Michelle's Healing Experience with Juana Cruz, Acupuncture Physician.

Dear Friends,
I experienced an amazing healing session with Licensed Acupuncturist Juana Cruz today and more than ever I realize just how important and vital it is for healers and nurturers to work on themselves, to make it a priority to pamper themselves as I have today. I feel so refreshed, as if I went on vacation... Juana provides an integrative approach to Health and Healing utilizing acupuncture, Akashic Records readings, Acutonics, Herbal Remedies, Visualizations, and Counseling to name a few. She is very intuitive and knowledgeable in addition to being very connected to Divine Source. I highly recommend her for anyone that is pursuing taking time for wellness, healing, rejuvenation, and detox. Visit her at Sacred Hearth Holistic Health Center which is located at 1514 San Ignacio Ave. Ste. 200. Coral Gables, FL. 33156 . She may be reached 786.268.2331 or sacredhealth@bellsouth.net. Thank you Juana!
