a bit about stephen...

Stephen Nakamitsu

stephen and jamie practicing for the "main event"

Stephen is my spiritual healing teacher, that i've been studying with for the past 2 years, exploring meditation, intuition and healing.

He wrote a wonderful article about our cupcake wellness event, and tells you about experience with the magic of cupcakes. Click on the zen of cupcakes and please take some time to read this, and learn more about our wonderful gathering!

Zen of Cupcakes

a bit about my teachers...


Stephen Nakamitsu

I first started studying with Stephen with a focus on meditation. My interests developed rapidly as I became in touch with my soul, and went on to learn healing and intuitive readings. From Stephen, I learned how to love and trust myself.

Alice Inoue
Next came Alice! I've known here since the beginnings of The Bead Gallery, but after 10 years, we renewed our relationship in a deeper, more loving way. I resisted for many years, and somehow the floodgates opened, and when I was ready to love and release judgement, there she was with a feng shui class!

I took the class (now a class focusing on spirituality, go Alice!) and from her, realized the potential of my spirit and life - and began staying centered and accepting all my qualities without judgement.

***


Chad Sato
Jason and I decided to approach our bodies with the same attitude as we have spirit - with an open mind and heart. I found that close friends were seeing a chiropractor that did NOT do physical adjustments!

I learned how to breathe, be in my body and connect my physical pain to my emotional and spiritual pain. All by lying down, no participation necessary (but helpful.)

Through Chad I learned how to be present in my body and to honor that awareness.

Kumu Karen Leialoha Carroll
Kumu Karen is my lomilomi teacher - a truly loving, accepting and selfless teacher of massage and life. She emanates kindness, understanding and most importantly, reflects wisdom based on so her life experiences and continued learning!

Being with Kumu has taught me to be fearless, as long as I am guided by love. With that intention, I have connected with faith and that everything is alright.

Cupcake Wellness

Something awesome at The Bead Gallery for EVERYONE!

Why cupcakes? Cupcakes are a universal key to unlocking happiness. Even without eating one, the thought of a cupcake makes me smile. Just one little cake, just for me! Cupcake or not, we should feel that special every day!

Who am I? In the past 2 years, I've been on a search for myself, my true authentic being, and it's been more difficult than anything I've tried. Being comfortable with being off-balance, with being uncomfortable and just knowing that perfection doesn't exist for but a moment, has been just some of my challenges.

Am I psychic? Over the past 12 years, I've met so many people. I've never thought of myself as psychic, or having any special ability to "read" people and their pain, but through my meditations and trusting myself, I've recovered gifts of empathy and love. By NO MEANS, I'm NOT a mind-reader, nor can I tell you your future.

Why me? When people feel lost, in pain, or needing love and attention, I find my heart responding easily, and I am attuned to messages of love. It has brought me to the idea of fulfilling that purpose which takes me a bit away from beading as a business, and closer to beading as a means of healing.

Why you? My meditation teacher, Stephen Nakamitsu, and I will be giving readings to guide you in choosing a meaningful word that will remind you of

• who you are

• what you're striving to be

• our purpose in life and what we are here for

and to assist you on your journey.

That's a lot to ask out of one event and one necklace, I KNOW!, but it's a start, and from my personal experience, the start is always the hardest part. So if we can assist you on YOUR journey, we are happy to do so!


We will stamp your word on a silver charm, help you choose gemstones that resonate with your being, and put together your wellness necklace. Just show up and be open to all of YOUR possibilities!


* Bring a friend or family person's name and have the reading and necklace done as your gift to them. OR, if you enjoyed it the first time, please join us for another reading and a spiritual "hello!"

 

the experience...

 

First, Stephen does a mini reading with you (screen for small-kine privacy) to help you discover your word.
Next, Amanda and I help you choose gemstones that will facilitate change, healing and growth for your spirit. We will make recommendations, but the final stone choices are ultimately up to you.

 

Michelle stamps your word onto a sterling silver charm blank, and embellishes with complementary designs.
Finally, JoAnn, one of our skilled wire workers, wraps your gems and finishes your jewelry.

 

 

 

Testimonials from our cupcake friends!

i just wanted to say "thank you!!!!" again for such a wonderful evening! this was my first spiritual reading & i was very impressed! my emotional burden feels a little lighter after talking to you & stephen . . . everything i heard from both of you was "spot on". and, i LOVE my necklace! i'll be wearing this everyday to remind me of the journey that i'm on & to keep me headed in the right direction. ~ kim

Awesoome event! I went to the first one and I wear my necklace everyday. I sometimes find myself holding onto it during the day. Don't know why, but it makes me feel good. Thank you Jamie & Jason, Stephen, and all the Bead Gallery girls. ~ val

Thank you so much for hosting the Cupcake Wellness activity. I really enjoyed talking to you and Stephen which was such an enlightening experience for me! I just love the personalized pendant that was made with the two gemstones you so appropriately chose for me. ~ bev

Thanks so much for doing another wellness night. I was really amazed with the reading, it was right on.~ lynn

Thank you for the cool opportunity to sit with Stephen and to watch all of The Bead Gallery gang spring into action making our special jewelry on the spot... I'm sooo happy with it! And thanks for the cupcake too~ gini

A BIG THANK YOU for your hard work and generosity that night! It was a special treat and the beautiful charm necklace is a wonderful reminder of what I need to try to do - change (my thinking, my approach to problems, etc.)....I am now on a path to finding calm and inner peace. I am in awe at the cards Stephen laid out in front of me, as each had a true connection to me, my current situation and the positive possibilities ahead.~ carol

Thank you so much for your time in helping me last night at the Cupcake Wellness Nite. I really enjoyed the event and I really enjoyed talking with you. I look forward to attending another one. And of course, I LOVE my necklace.~ elena

I truly need reminding to be the person i want to be and let go of the burdens that hold me back. What a great event last night...i always knew that i hold on to the past (good and bad) but it really hit home to hear it last night. I think this will help me "transcend" to the person i know i can be.~ michelle

Make An Appointment!

If you are thinking:
Should I go? What will I get out of it? Is it worth my time? Will I understand?

please read my special message!

I dedicate these events to my customers having difficulty making time for themselves, unable to communicate fearlessly, having responsibilites that weigh heavily on their shoulders, and those feeling lost and wondering, "what's going on?" And, to my friends discovering the difference between lonely and alone, those who have been in physical or emotional pain, and especially those who just want to find love in their hearts for themselves and others.
we're in this together!!
