The process is not unlike Meditation. Reflexology achieves this goal through pressure to the nerve endings in feet, hands and/or ears, to stimulate the relative organ systems in the body to function in concert for more complete well-being. It amplifies, but DOES NOT replace treatment by your physician. Norma Kraushaar was certified as a Hypnotherapist at Hypnosis Motivation Institute, California in 1994 and has finally found her ideal avenue for its use to aid relaxation, as differentiated from the techniques used in behavior modification. She has been a Reiki practitioner since 1995, attaining Master Level in 2002, both of these through the Healing Source in Phoenix, Arizona; finally in 2010, Reiki Master/Teacher in Tuscany through the International Association of Reiki. In 2007, she added Reflexology Certification through which she has been able to profoundly synchronize the three modalities. Ph: 240-577-0103 nhk@PandoraPotentials.com 1:20pm BodyTalk In order for us to remain in a state of health, all of our organs, endocrines and body parts must be in communication with each other at all times, However, through exposure to the stresses of everyday life, these networks become compromised, which in turn often leads to some type of “dis-ease”. BodyTalk is a revolutionary new form of health care that uses the innate wisdom of the bodymind to determine which lines of communication need to be re-established and in which order so that maximum healing can occur. It is complementary to any other modality you may be using to achieve your health goals including traditional western medicine. Ms. Castner has used this technique and others to help clients make improvements in the areas of emotional issues, speech, language and learning disabilities, sports injuries, allergies and more. During this workshop, you will receive hands-on practice in: ~ innate body wisdom communication and ~ a stand-alone BodyTalk technique used to balance the various sections of the brain in order to bring you into a parasympathetic (calm) state. Cheryl Castner, CBP, Holistic Health Practitioner, Heaven to Earth Healing Arts, LLC Ph: 410-257-0147 ccastner@verizon.net 2:25pm HeartMath These are challenging and stressful times that offer us the opportunity to evolve to a more compassionate, heart-centered way of living. But how do we 'live from the heart'? It sounds wonderful, but what does it really mean, how does it feel, and how can we know when we are following the wisdom of the heart? Heartmath has the answers.
