The spirit of giving does not always mean purchasing or spending money... True giving can be as simple and profound as offering your love, compassion, and presence to others. It can be sharing advice, offering support, or creating something special with your hands as a gift.
During this time of year, it is easy to become consumed by the idea of needing to buy and spend, forgetting the deeper purpose behind giving. I invite you to take a moment to honor what it truly means to give and share with others. Embrace the intention, the love, and the connection that comes from sharing from your heart.
This season, let your gifts be guided by care, thoughtfulness, and presence rather than obligation. Giving in this way nurtures both the giver and the receiver, reminding us of the true meaning of generosity.

Meditation is medicine for the mind, body, and spirit.
A regular meditation practice supports emotional balance, mental clarity, and spiritual connection. It teaches us to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to the stillness within.
Every Wednesday, we gather for our Weekly Meditation Circle, a sacred space to release, reflect, and recharge together. Meditating in a group amplifies the collective energy, deepens presence, and reminds us that we are not alone on our journey.
Join us and experience the healing power of community meditation.

In many cultures, coffee has long been experienced as a sacred ritual, offering connection, clarity, and mindfulness. It was not merely a drink but a practice to awaken the senses, honor the moment, and invite presence.
Cinnamon is equally revered for its warming, protective, and energizing qualities. When combined with coffee, these two plant allies create a deeply grounding and uplifting ritual. To practice, brew your favorite coffee and stir in a pinch of cinnamon. As the aroma rises, set an intention for the day or simply take a moment to breathe, feel gratitude, and connect with your inner self. Sip slowly, allowing the energy of these sacred plants to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
How to Practice Your Cinnamon Coffee Ritual:
Brew your coffee: Choose your favorite blend and brew mindfully, noticing the aroma as it fills your space.
Add cinnamon: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon into your cup or stir in a cinnamon stick. Visualize the warming energy of cinnamon infusing your coffee and your body.
Set an intention: Before taking your first sip, set an intention for the day or reflect on something you wish to release or invite into your life.
Sip mindfully: Slowly drink your coffee, savoring each sip. Feel the energy of the coffee and cinnamon nourishing your body, mind, and spirit.
Close with gratitude: Finish your ritual by giving thanks for the moment, the plants, and yourself.
This simple ritual transforms your daily coffee into a mindful, sacred practice that honors your connection to the natural world and your inner self.

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!
