LifeWork
Meditation is the number one self-help tool that we have today.
With this simple activity, we can affect every aspect of our own life.. Our own "inner nature" dictates how we respond, react and express in the world. Meditation gives us the ability to connect with the inner Self and live with It as our guide. As we face inward and embrace the Truth of what we discover, positive AND negative, authenticity becomes our norm. External expectations, pressure to perform or the need to make others comfortable at our own expense disappear as we awaken to deeper knowing. The way of our own "inner nature" guides us unfailingly toward our utmost freedom of expression.
For those individuals who are looking for a way to create forward movement, breakthrough and freedom in their lives, Meditation can be the framework upon which deep transformation and change can be built.
Breath is the most primal access to the Self that we have. Breath connects, opens and enlivens. In Meditation, the Breath is where we begin.
Over time, we learn to stop the breath to numb, separate and literally shut down uncomfortable emotions. Eventually this causes blocks and challenges in our daily life
ChiGong, Circular Breathing and Yogic Breathing all have the ability to assist the Self to awaken. Profound extra-ordinary experiences are possible by using breathing techniques similar to those found in Re-Birthing and Holotropic BreathWork.
Deb leads individuals and groups in breathing, toning and chanting as an intensive form of Self-Awakening.
Guided Meditation is excellent for achieving deeper states of meditation. While in deep states of meditation, Visualization can help to reveal solutions and discover creative avenues for moving forward.
Often the discoveries made during these experiences are keys to freedom from long standing blocks and limitations.
Deb collaborates with clients to create experiences specific to their needs and uses intuitive imagery to enliven the meditation with symbols that can be used later as touchstones for change.
Compartmentalization is the new buzzword strategy for successfully negotiating a stressful life. It can be a good coping skill.
However, many of us walk around literally fragmented or with walls built so strong that one part of our Self cannot connect with another.
Deb walks individuals through extra-ordinary experiences of Journeying, Soul Retrieval, Transformational Art and Emotional Body-Process during which you are able to call your "selves" together, release what is no longer serving you and create a sense of Unity, Inner Harmony and Inner Peace.

Private Appointments
and
Life Work
Being Present is one of the basic Spiritual Principles for creating healing and growth in your life. Meditation can assist you to connect with yourself and learn to be present in each moment. Go deeper to move yourself and your life in this profound one-on-one work.
For those individuals who are seeking a way to go to the core of issues, move blocks and move through profound life changes, this work can be extremely effective. There are many options and tools that may be used in these appointments.
Private Groups and Events
Have a group of clients, employees or friends that would like to explore meditation together? Deb will create an on-going group or a one time event unique to your group's interests.
Meditation, practiced regularly can lead to deeper states of Consciousness and extra-ordinary eperiences. If one is pursuing this level of meditation, it is advisable to have a Teacher or Guide that can assist with grounding, understanding and giving context to the uniqueness of what is discovered.
No longer exclusively a Spiritual practice, Meditation can be practiced for its own benefits, outside the bounds of a specified Religion. However, it is found in some form in almost every Spiritual and Religious Path and is a wonderful compliment to any pusuit toward deepening Faith and Belief.
Meditation is a simple, yet profound activity that has positive effects on many different levels.
At its most basic, it is a process of sitting quietly bringing inward focus and experiencing whatever happens as you meditate.
This simple practice is enough to have positive impact on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
Practiced regularly, one can experience greater states of calm and peacefulness, focus and energy and a sense of well-being that stems from an internal source.
There are now studies that show positive changes in brain wave activity, blood pressure and emotional stress. Meditation is becoming an accepted adjunctive activity to mainstream medical treatment, corporate human resources and even sports psychology.
Deb Paradise has been practicing and teaching Sum Faht Meditation for over 20 years. She follows the ancient, traditional method of teaching by sensing, feeling and addressing the needs of those attending during class. In addtion to various meditation techniques and experiences, Deb often offers readings, guided movements, couples meditation and energy work as a part of the class.
Deb combines intuitive Energy and Body-Process work to provide private meditation sessions that address individual needs. A long term study of Sum Faht Energy Work (a Chinese meditation and energy form) allows her to work deep within the body in a very subtle and non-invasive way. Over the years, she has assisted many people to discover their unique path to self-awakening and to realize what it means to live their best life.
Her own self-exploration is what informs her work. Deb has been on her healing journey, studying with a Chinese meditation teacher, Wong Loh Sin See and his student Leong Tan, through the Chee Chung Center. Through this work she has become well versed in the practice of meditation and hands-on healing work, as well as intuitive reading and Feng Shui. She has also trained in Therapeutic Massage, Trager Psychophysical Integration, Cranio-Sacral Balancing, Reflexology and Aromatherapy.
Deb was the founder of Touchstone Transformation Therapies in Atlanta, Georgia, a wellness practice dedicated to offering transformational therapies, classes, groups and workshops. Since transferriing to Birmingham, AL, she has continued her practice, offering meditation classes and private consultations facilitating self-transformation through meditation, energy work and art expression.
Art as Transformation
In 1995, Deb made a personal commitment to develop her art as an extension of her healing work with individuals. She believes that through art, tranformational energy can be brought in to homes, offices and other environments.
