Transition: coping and changing to meet your needs
The magnitude of change today can be seen as threatening or an opportunity for growth. Join us in reviewing the various ways we define ourselves, where we’re going and how we will accomplish our goals.
5 Aspects of Healing
We human beings are complex and multidimensional. Often we live in limited and habitual patterns that do not allow us to experience our full potential. Healing is the process by which we bring more of ourselves and our inner truth into our lives. Whether there is a physical illness, hormonal imbalance, or emotional issue that calls them into the healing process. We look at 5 aspects of ourselves that function simultaneously, making the fabric of who we are, and then work with each of these. They are: Spirit, Mind, Body, Emotions and Relationships.

Meditation
We all seek to transform our lives. It may be spiritual or physical transformations. Whatever the challenge of your transformation guided meditation offers many paths to facilitate that change, improve the quality of your life, move through your daily existence, and tap into your higher self. Guided meditation is effective at treating stress related and physical illness, among them headaches, muscle spasms and chronic pain.
Prayer as a Tool to Heal
Does prayer really help us heal or is it a placebo? Researchers are mixed in their results. And there is an interesting disconnect between what doctors believe – 70% believe that miracles happen in this day and age, but only 29% believe that medical outcomes are related to “supernatural forces”. This lecture will focus on how prayer can help you in every area of your life.
The Emotion Behind Money
No matter how hard some people want to attract –or retain–money, the financial component of success seems elusive, and they remain frustrated and puzzled. It’s the old, existential question so many talented, hard-working people ask of themselves: “If I’m so smart, why aren’t I rich?” The lecture will address the money makeover you need most, a close-up look at money and emotions, your financial DNA, how to change how you feel about money and owning your personal power with money.
Diabesity
Dr. Everett Koop, former surgeon general of the United States, coined the term “Diabesity” to identify the relationship between diabetes and obesity. The challenge is an economic structure that makes it cheaper to eat fries than fruit, combined with media that lures kids to make poor choices. Quality over quantity can change that paradigm. Yes…we can win the war on weight!

You will learn how acupuncture, natural healthcare and discovering your FertileSpirit™ will enhance your well-being and your fertility.
Can Posture Give us a Look into your Life?
Our bodies are more than a container for muscles, bones, and organs. Our physical body is a vehicle and “map” for the past & current energy that runs through us, our thoughts, and our feelings. We will discuss how your body and posture can indicate not only where you would be more prone to physical symptoms and disease processes but also give an indication of how you think and perceive life!
Nutrition and the Power of Food
The food we eat can be the greatest communicator we possess, but most of us do not use it to our advantage. You may already be asking yourself “Um, excuse me, but I have never heard my food talking to me”. The food we eat sends our body messages–the challenge is learning the language of food so we can have pleasant communication instead of a hostile take-over situations. Learn about the Power of Food and how your choices affect your health.

Homeopathic remedies are natural, safe (even for pregnant women and infants), non-toxic, and free of harmful side-effects. Homeopathic medicine works by triggering a reaction of the body to heal itself. It optimizes the body’s ability to heal, so that a complete cure is often achieved, and further treatment becomes no longer necessary.

Healthy & Holistic Eating
Part of the obesity problem for kids and adults in the U.S. is a diet that causes blood sugar to skyrocket. This can lead to insulin resistance and the “metabolic syndrome”–belly fat, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Learn about foods with a low to moderate “glycemic index”–a measure of how high a food makes your blood sugar rise after you eat it–how to shop for them and cook good meals with them. We will also discuss crucial but simple steps to Holistic Eating–it’s not only vital what you eat but also how you eat in order to optimize your body’s ability to process and access nutrients. Something as simple as paying attention to how you breathe while you eat can help you to minimize cortisol (stress hormone) production and optimize digestion!
