Inquiries into the nature of consciousness have been her lifelong passion. From her studies in eastern philosophy and western neuroscience and medicine, she has come to the conclusion that following the wisdom of the heart, which she refers to as “heart consciousness”, is the one sure way of living a fulfilled, vibrant life. She has worked to integrate the wisdom of the East with modern physics and medicine to promote optimum health through heart consciousness. Her current areas of interest are vibrational medicine and the seven energy centers of the body, known as the chakras. By helping people to balance their chakras through yoga, meditation, and transpersonal therapy she helps them to rediscover the wholeness of their beings, thus harmonizing mind, body, and soul. Once the charkas are balanced, it then becomes easier to remain connected to the heart in their daily lives and reap the benefits of heart-centered living.
Healing comes from the word “whole.”
We are whole but have lost sight of it.
We have lost sight of our connection to our heart
Through the heart, we reconnect to the whole of our being.
Listening to the heart is the art of healing,
The art of living ~ Dr. Celeste
“What is the soul? The soul is consciousness. It shines as the light within the heart.”

CHAKRA YOGA CLASS Level 1
Presented by: Celeste Thirlwell MD

The chakras are the seven energy centers of the body. When balanced, they lead to optimum health and wellness. When they are unbalanced, our body is left vulnerable to illness and we are not able to live the joyous, fulfilled existence we have the potential of living. The Chakra Yoga Class will be a weekly 8 part series of classes aimed at harmonizing the chakras. The series will start with an introduction to chakra philosophy and yoga, then an individual chakra will be consecutively explored each week. Each class will be divided into three parts: starting with the explanation of the chakra; then teaching of the yoga positions associated with the chakra; and ending with a sitting meditation on the chakra.

It is based on Buddhist meditation techniques and is geared toward reducing stress and chronic pain through creating greater awareness and acceptance in our lives. This technique has proven to be beneficial for people with: stress, chronic pain, anxiety, sleep disturbances, chronic illness, and depression.

INDIVIDUAL TRANSPERSONAL THERAPY – One-on-One Sessions with Dr. Celeste Thirlwell
* For Your Initial Appointment - Please Book A 30 mins Complimentary Assessment with Dr. Celeste
Transpersonal therapy is truly holistic, encompassing all levels of human experience, including the spiritual. The word “transpersonal” comes from the Latin “trans,” meaning beyond and through, and “persona,” meaning mask or personality. Thus, this therapy seeks to reveal the person behind the personality. In transpersonal therapy, it is essential that the therapist recognize that he/she is equal to the client and in fact, on the level of pure consciousness, there is no separation between them. This shift in ideology changes the whole nature of the therapy. The therapist is not in a superior position to the client. Instead, he/she listens with suspended judgment and an attitude of deep respect. While each person has their own thoughts and beliefs and feelings, their experiences cannot be completely separate. The consciousness of one has a direct impact on that of the other. It is in that shared consciousness, where true empathy and insight can take place for both therapist and client. While it is still important at times for the therapist to be discriminating and analytical, the primary mode of being with the client is with an attitude of open-mindedness, wonder, and innocence. Both client and therapist aspire to be self-aware, honest, and “real”. This makes for a powerful therapeutic relationship in which tremendous healing and growth can take place.
