Crystal Ballroom (The Charleston Marriott)
Keynote Talk:
Our mental, emotional, and physical health is finely integrated throughout the body whose life is in the 100 trillion cells of each one of us. Learn how cells look, how they work, and how to work with them for personal health and for assisting your clients’ health.
1. What is a body?
2. How do cells function?
3. What does brain wave testing show about health and healing?
4. How does cell-level healing work?
5. How can I, as a therapist, utilize cellular information in my therapy and for my own renewal?
6. Experience of cell level healing.
Health is a mystery. Illness is a mystery. How the unseen multitudes of individual cells in our body work together to maintain and supply life is a mystery. With the tools of science we can see images of those units of life, our cells. We can help our clients when we deepen our experience of cellular wisdom. We know, for example, that the cells of part of our digestive tract replace themselves daily whereas many of our brain cells live the entire life span. What can we do to enhance cell health, repair and renewal? How can we help our clients find their way to health that brings vitality and renewal in a depleted or traumatized body? Recent studies show that certain activities actually promote the production of new neurons in the brain, not the least of which is meditation. Additionally exercise and actions that require fine motor skills promote cell production in the brain. As therapists, to enhance our skills with meditation that we can share with our clients without any religious or doctrinaire overtones are a valuable expansion of our healing tools. Experience cell-level resonance for yourself as you allow the images from the electron microscope to inspire you. Experience a new place of awareness for yourself and know that you can carry that to your therapy practice.
