Locals to share skills at festival

TWO Co Wicklow alternative therapists will be trying to help thousands of people find a happier, healthier life at the Mind, Body, Spirit and Wellbeing Festival in Dublin’s RDS this weekend.

Traditional diviner Joe Mullally from Blessington and yoga teacher Teresa Murphy Moore from Bray will be hosting talks and workshops at the festival.

Teresa, who studied yoga in India and now teaches in the US and across Europe, will be providing free taster yoga classes plus tips to help people to cope with the pace of modern life.

‘We are living in a very speeded up world of endless screen time and compulsive thinking, and rates of anxiety and depression are sky rocketing as a result,’ said Teresa, who runs the Yoga Sacred Space studios in Bray. ‘At MBS I will be giving people some super skills from the yoga world that can be very helpful when dealing with 21st century information and consumption overload.’

The effects of geopathic stress on people’s homes and health will be the focus of Joe Mullally’s presentations. An engineer by profession, Joe, who is the author of The Healers Secret, now runs the Anam Centre in Blessington.

‘Underground streams which flow underneath people’s homes create very strong magnetic fields that can create ill health and make people very lethargic,’ he said. ‘Using metal rods you can cancel the effects of these magnetic fields but you need a diviner’s skill to know where to place them.’

The Mind, Body, Spirit and Wellbeing Festival celebrates its 21st birthday in the RDS from Saturday, October 29, to Monday, October 31.
