Afternoon Stress Relief Workshop 1:30-4:30pm

Sustainability applies to all areas of life, including emotional health. It has been said that it is the combination of internal and external stress that gets us down. So if we can reduce our internal stress by eliminating negative feelings from past experiences, we are stronger emotionally and better able to handle whatever comes our way.

In this class you will learn about some of the newer short-term therapies, how they were discovered, and how they can be used for emotional "first-aid" as well as the quick relief of longstanding emotional pain for yourself and others.

As time and volunteers permit, Patricia will demonstrate:

TFT - tapping on meridian points for the quick relief of fear, anger and sadness.
EMDR - eye movement for the integration of the right and left brain to access and clear emotional pain.
TAT - a method for clearing feelings from abuse or for reducing allergic reactions
Dialogue for Healing and Growth - for better relationships with others or with one’s own inner child.
Psych-K - using kinesiology for discovering and changing subconscious beliefs that run counter to one’s conscious goals .
Journey work of Brandon Bays - Ms. Bays healed a large abdominal tumor through natural means which included a guided imagery process she developed.

Handouts for some of these methods will be provided so you can use them at home.

Learn the 5-minute phobia cure
Tap the healer within to clear sadness
Discover and meet the needs of your own inner child.
