HTPA is excited to bring you a new episode in our Expand Your Network – Exploring Self-Care Modalities series!
This presentation features Cheryl Crumpler, PhD, educator and researcher in mind-body wellness, who introduces us to the Tamarkoz Method—a heart-centered meditation practice rooted in Sufi tradition that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.
After experiencing profound relief from debilitating migraines through this practice, Cheryl devoted her career to studying the science behind contemplative healing methods and their impact on stress, emotional well-being, and physical health.
Through research, guided techniques, and real-world applications, this episode explores how Tamarkoz can help create greater harmony, resilience, and heart-centered awareness in daily life.
