Your Key To A Better Life: Your Mind-Body Connection

We all try to improve our lives in many ways.  When we are not successful it is because we have failed to understand our own unconscious beliefs.  When we understand our unconscious, emotional beliefs and fears, we are able to create solutions that will actually produce the results we want.

Neuroscientists today estimate that we are only aware of 5% of our brain's cognitive activity.  This means that we are making choices, and taking actions all day long, that are driven by factors of which we are not aware.  Imagine the difficulty of trying to figure out what is wrong with our approach when we are not able to see 95% of what motivates us.

This presentation includes demonstrations of the mind-body connection and how it effects us in our daily lives.  It also introduces a simple and effective technique we can use for learning more about the other 95% of our unconscious thoughts, beliefs and emotions.  Resources are supplied for those who want to explore the power of their unconscious emotions and beliefs, without having to spend years in therapy.

Saying Good-bye To Good People Without Saying Good-bye To Good Memories

The painful truth is that all relationships eventually end.  When relationships end the most common response is for people to get busy with other tasks or relationships to distract themselves from the pain of the loss.  The problem with this approach is that when we avoid the pain and sadness of the loss we also block out the memories, good and bad.

This presentation discusses the process for accepting the end of a relationship, regardless of the way the relationship ended, so that we still have access to the good memories and life lessons gained.  The goal of accepting the end of a relationship is to have easy access to the good memories and positive influences that were developed during the relationship.

While this message is useful for everyone, it is especially important for anyone who has lost a loved one or close friend and is still grieving that loss.

Healthy VS. Toxic Relationships: How To Know The Difference And Choose Wisely

The difficulty with relationships is that we are born into them and have never been without them, so, often we don’t even imagine that there are options to the type of relationship we have known.  Relationships can range from the most wonderful and enriching parts of being human, to the most abusive and hurtful parts of being human.  What is needed is a set of guidelines for determining whether your current relationships are enriching your life or depleting your life.

This presentation will discuss the process of assessing relationships for their nurturing and enriching aspects as well as their toxic and depleting aspects.  The presentation will go on to discuss tools for changing relationships where they can be changed, and eliminating relationships when they cannot be made nurturing and enriching.
