Join us this Saturday for a hands-on spiritual craft workshop where you will create your own Sacred Door Chime guided by intuitive artist and teacher Becky Brandt. Each chime is adorned with ribbons, beads, bells, and other meaningful elements, with every movement and placement infused with your personal intention.
These sacred door chimes are especially used during the autumn and winter months to keep the entrance of your home grounded, protected, and energetically flowing. They serve as a beautiful way to honor your space, invite positive energy, and create harmony at the threshold of your home.
This workshop is a blend of creativity, intention, and spiritual practice. Walk away with a handcrafted chime that reflects your energy and intentions, ready to bring balance, protection, and sacred vibration into your home.

Autumn Candle Ritual
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, Autumn invites us to slow down, reflect, and return to the warmth within. One beautiful way to honor this sacred season is with a simple candle ritual to anchor your intentions and align with the shifting energy.
Ritual Steps:
Choose your candle
Earthy tones like orange, deep red, gold, or brown work beautifully. Anoint it with cinnamon or clove oil for grounding and warmth.
Set your space
Find a quiet place, light incense or smudge with sage or rosemary, and sit in stillness with the candle in front of you.
Call in the Season
Speak aloud or silently: “I welcome Autumn’s grace, the turning in, the letting go, and the golden light.”
Reflect and Release
As the candle burns, write down what you are ready to release — old patterns, thoughts, or habits.
Burn or Bury
Safely burn the paper in a fireproof bowl or bury it in the earth as an offering of transformation.
Gratitude and Grounding
Close your ritual with a few moments of gratitude for all that was and all that is coming. Feel your feet on the earth.
Let the soft flicker of the flame guide you inward, back home to yourself.

As the seasons begin to change, so do our bodies, energies, and emotions.
Transitioning from one cycle to the next can stir the winds within; making grounding more important than ever.
Grounding connects you to the Earth, calms the nervous system, and invites you to feel safe, held, and centered amidst change.
Whether it’s walking barefoot, meditating with grounding crystals, nourishing your body, or simply taking time to breathe deeply ~ this is your reminder to return home to yourself.
Your roots matter.
The Earth is calling you back.
Anchor yourself in presence.

All proceeds from this raffle will go directly into a community project we have been working on throughout the summer. Mindful Methods has found a new community space where we will soon be able to host gatherings, retreats, and workshops. This new space is more connected to nature and offers a more private setting for our community to come together in sacred ways.
Renovations have already begun, and with the support of our community, we hope to raise the necessary funds to continue bringing this vision to life.
No worries! Mindful Methods will remain here as it always has, we are NOT changing locations or moving; we are simply expanding into this new private location that is closer to nature, so we can continue to grow the offerings we share with you.
Many of our community family members have already been to this new space. We are excited to continue growing with you, and eager to hold more community events at this new sanctuary.
Tickets can also be purchased through VENMO at: -methods-ia
Venmo Purchases: Please include your name & phone number for the raffle tickets
RAFFLE STARTING TOMORROW, OCTOBER 2ND THROUGH WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15TH!

Meditation Classes, Workshops, Holistic Healing Services, Ayurvedic Care, Crystals & Minerals, and More.
My name is Alyssa Gutierrez, I am the owner of Mindful Methods LLC in Clear Lake Iowa. I am a Reiki Master & Teacher, As well as Master Practitioner & Teacher in Aahli healing. I am also an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Master Meditation Teacher in the Buddhist ways of Meditation, Mindfulness, and Vipassana. I have a passion for teaching and offering these services to others.
I have been teaching meditation for over 8 years, both locally and internationally. I received training as a Meditation Teacher formally in various parts of India, but also learned unique training methods in other parts of South America and Asia. Meditation is more than a practice for me. I truly view it as a art of wellness for the mind, body and spirit, that can benefit all.
Apart from being a Meditation Teacher, I also am a Reiki Master Practitioner & Teacher, with two Master certifications in both Usui and Karuna Reiki. I received formal training as a Karuna Master Practitioner & Teacher internationally, and hold many years of practice. I believe that Reiki is a beautiful holistic form of energy healing that benefits the well-being of the mind and body.
As being the only Master Practitioner & Teacher of Aahli healing in the state of Iowa, I feel so very honored to offer this service to others. Aahli healing is a Grecian form of energy healing, similar to Reiki, however different. Aahli healing is a unique form of intuitive energy healing that provides individuals who receive it with clarity of the mind, body, emotional self, and energetic self. The vibration of Aahli provides a truly beautiful “healing” experience to all in whom receive it.
I first heard of Ayurveda from a herbalist here in the states. She too was an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and had prepared an Ayurvedic blend for me for troubles I was having with sleep. Long-story made short, I was amazed by the improvement, this is when my passion for Ayurveda was sparked. This form of holistic medicine was taught to me in its homeland of India. I studied under a 11th generation Ayurvedic doctor during my time in Jaipur India, and than received formal training during various courses I took during the combined time of 21 months that I spent between New Delhi & Mumbai India. Ayurveda as a complement to my services has aided the many clients and students I have, so much. I am excited to be offering Ayurvedic counseling & services in our area!
I also offer various classes and workshops on mindful methods, topics on holistic health & healing, a variety of classes on crystals, minerals, smudging and other like topics.
I feel so very grateful to be back in the states teaching again, and am eager to see where this journey takes me in Clear lake Iowa!
Thank you for your interest in Mindful Methods, blessings with all!
