GRIEF |
|
| |
Death
seems totally unjust and unfair. Learning to cope
with it involves learning to cope with intense grief.
Grief is now recognized as a natural healing process and
progresses through a number of steps involving several
strong emotions. It may begin with shock and
disbelief and be followed by anger, guilt, fear, sorrow
and depression. These feelings are steps along the
road to learning to accept the loss and to live with it.
At times, emotions may be so intense that families do
not understand what is happening to them. They may
need support during these difficult times. |

Integrated Energy Therapy
April 11, 2010 9am – 5pm In
the tradition of Caroline
Myss's "Energy Anatomy",
Integrated Energy Therapy
developed at The Center Of
Being, Inc., by Stevan J.
Thayer, is one of the next
generation - hands on -
power energy therapy systems
that gets the "issues out of
your tissues" for good. Our
IET training classes are
each powerful days of
self-healing and energy
therapy certification
training. In each class, you
will be attuned to a
powerful angelic energy ray.
You will then learn how to
heartlink to the energy of
your angels and use their
energy for healing. You will
learn how each primary human
emotion is correlated to a
specific physical region of
the body and human energy
field (cellular memory map),
as well as how to use the
IET integration power points
to clear them.
Everyone can be an energy
intuitive, and through the
IET system, you will be
taught how to feel and
interpret energy flow in the
nine primary cellular memory
areas of the body.
Furthermore, the IET energy
attunement you receive in
this class will increase
your ability to "read" a
person's energy patterns.
Whereas Reiki is a passive
energy therapy technique,
IET is an active energy
therapy technique. At the
heart of IET's power are the
9 sets of energy integration
points. When activated with
the IET energy ray, these
points provide powerful
clearing of suppressed
cellular memories and
emotions, including Karmic
past life memories. IET is
perfectly complementary to
Reiki and other healing
energies. You will receive
training in the complete
basic IET self treatment,
facilitated treatment and
absentee treatment
procedures. As part of the
training you will receive an
illustrated basic level IET
manual and a certificate of
completion. Cost of the
Workshop is $100 and
includes lunch.
