Anger is Killing Me
Do you eat all the 'right' foods and take lots of supplements and still get sick?
Do you have road rage? Teenager rage? Or boss rage?
Medical research shows that no matter how many times you work out at the gym or how careful you are to eat correctly, you are putting yourself at risk if you don't manage your anger effectively. In this workshop we will explore the meaning of anger, see its impact on our hearts through a biofeedback computer program, and discover the impact of our thoughts on our bodies.
You will also learn a quick process to release anger and find a better solution to the event. This will decrease many physical symptoms, increase focus, concentration, problem solving skills, and creativity. (this is most often combined with the Forgiveness Heals for a full day workshop)
-
Stress Busting
Ready to crawl out of your skin? Can't sleep? Lashing out at everyone?

(Full day session includes discussion and demonstrations of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and a stress busting drumming circle.)

Forgiveness Heals
Do you have unresolved angers? Is there someone who 'done you wrong'? Are you harboring feelings of resentment? Forgiveness, a word we hear often, is the great need of our world if we are ever to live in peace and harmony. It is one of the least understood concepts of our time, yet it affects not only our emotions but our physical health as well. Learn why it is so hard to forgive, how to begin the process, and release toxic thoughts.

A Hero's Journey - Opening Your Heart
This all-day workshop only will use the 5000 year old epic Hindu poem, the Ramayana, as the framework to assist you in taking the Hero's Journey to transforming your hurts, fears, and feelings of separation into understanding, forgiveness, gratitude, and love.
We will use story, music, guided imagery, inner dialoging, physical exercises, frequencies, and art.
The United States is currently moving from the 3rd Chakra to the 4th. It is a move from focusing on the self and personal identity that can manifest as anxiety, pain, anger, disease, egotism, and fear, to a state of expansion, unconditional love, and transcending the ego. This is a state without limiting beliefs and judgments. It is a state of Inner Harmony that greatly affects all chakras. Opening the Heart brings heaven to earth.
We will explore the ancient Hindu Vedas and current scientific discoveries of quantum physics relating to our interconnectedness. AND, we will use modern technology in the form of HeartMath Biofeedback to see whether your heart has truly opened.

the Heart Chakra. You will be able to see on the EMWaves proveded, whether you have opened your heart.
The second part is devoted to discovering your soul's desires. We will do this through assessment, music, guided imagery.
