“Blue Sky Living!” is the title of a talk to be given Jan. 3 to the Emerald Coast Meditation Society. Speaker will be Terry Ingraham, a wellness life coach.
[h=2]The meeting will start with a 30-minute meditation at 6:30 p.m. at 480 N. Co. Hwy. 393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of Hwy. 98. The ECMS is ecumenical and does not follow any religion. There is no charge.[/h]“We will delve into the meaning of ‘Blue Sky living’ as a group,” Ingraham says. “Blue Sky living demands an intensely curious, open approach to ourselves and our relationship with our world in a physical and mental way. The idea of limitations needs to be intentionally put aside in favor of absorbing the infinite power and endless possibilities that are ours for the taking.”
Ingraham, who last spoke to the ECMS in June 2012, has just returned from a 3-week trip to Canada with a focus on Nova Scotia, and says she was dazzled by the beauty of the natural terrain.
She has extensive experience in healthcare marketing, mind/body/spirit fitness, nutrition, writing and public speaking. As vice president of marketing and public advocacy for the American Heart Association for a decade, Terry championed Florida and national health issues such as “No smoking” legislation for public places and healthier eating programs for children.
She then turned her focus from crafting health policy to more hands-on help for people in need of guidance. “Optimal health is a great deal more than just trying a new food or exercise program by itself,” she says. As she customizes fitness and nutritional programs for people on all levels, her focus is on preventive wellness as well as rehabilitative healing. She is certified as a fitness and rehabilitation coach by the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
The evening will conclude with a short guided meditation. The ECMS meets on the first and third Thursday of every month except July and August. Anyone who needs meditation instruction should arrive by 6:15 p.m. For information contact Nancy James, nancyjames@embarqmail.com.
