Hakomi is a body-centered
therapy based upon the idea that encoded in the body are beliefs, memories, and
emotional attitudes which determine the quality of our lives. The core of the
method involves evoking the state of mindfulness—a relaxed, sustained focus of
inward attention that gently probes underneath everyday habitual responses and
patterns to the unconscious ways that we organize and direct our experience.
Through slow and gentle guidance and in an atmosphere of safety, the intrinsic
wisdom and intelligence within unfolds itself to give life clarity, a sense of
meaning, and satisfaction.
________________________ HAND DRUMMING is an ancient art that has been used as a form of communication in religious ceremonies to induce spiritual awakenings, and for a variety of other reasons including pure entertainment.
Hand drumming is a great release
from life's pressures. In a group setting, energy is drawn from the rhythm of
the drummer. It's primal quality teaches us in such a powerful way that it can
provide a state of mental clarity and lead to higher consciousness. Suggested

Aristide Bruni, CCSH HEALING/PRAYER CIRCLE—Open-minded persons who wish to heal and be healed gather together, utilizing various types of prayer and the laying-on of hands to receive new infusions of energy, whether for themselves personally, or for others at some distance, or on other levels of existence. Planetary , cosmic, and universal healings are frequently included. Suggested Readings: _____________________ Voice and movement are the
two primary expressions of the energy that we are.
We are always involved with one or both. How free we feel using our
voices and bodies reflects the degree of well-being we experience in our lives
physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Where
the energetic flow is blocked, our expression is limited and our health
compromised. The sound of the voice
creates a resonating chamber that surrounds the participant
with healing vibration. The participant can also join
or initiate the sound field. In
addition, s/he “gives voice to” parts of the self that lie hidden, causing
conflict until they are heard and assimilated. The flow of the moving body
creates pathways that guide the participant toward self-discovery.
Where movement constricts or resists, the participant can uncover old
wounds. The body’s wisdom ensures
that only what is manageable will be revealed at any time. By working directly with the
voice and body movement, one gently uncovers habitual patterns of being that are
no longer helpful. We then allow
these patterns to transform in ways that support us as healthy and authentic
human beings. Guided voice and movement
healing work can open pathways to inner peace, insight, release, conviction, and
joy. This work offers rich and
visceral ways of exploring, honoring, and transforming that which stands in the
way of our true expression. _____________________

Founded by Dr. Scott, author of Cure Your Own Allergies, it is a wonderfully inventive healing procedure. It is a system which works with your own individual energy and is therefore ideally specific. Muscle testing is used to enter the body and energy from your body translates information through the muscle testing, so the healing that follows is designed by your own energy. Health Kinesiology works
with allergies, detox, tolerances, psychologicals, energy flow, balancing,
control system disturbances, and more. Suggested Readings: ________________ HEALTH PRODUCT MARKETING—Multi-marketing is very popular these days, especially for health products, since the idea is to eliminate high-cost promotions and also add a personal dimension in sales. New health product distributors are flooding the market and caution is needed to discern which products are of high quality. Distributorships are readily available, but one needs to test out the product on oneself first before signing up. For this reason, one should sample New Spirit Naturals, with products like GREEN MAGIC, Nutri-Cleanse, and the new oxypure product. ________________ Suggested Reading and Cassettes: >Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program forReversing Heart Disease >Richard Hittleman’s Yoga 28 Day Exercise Plan, plus videos I & II >Full Catastrophe Living and Wherever You Go, There You Are—Jon Kabat-Zinn >Mindfulness Meditation Practice Tapes >Minding the Body, Mending the Mind—Joan Borysenko Heart Disease Prevention practitioners listed below:

regenerate and sustain a person's energy and vibrant health. As human beings, we
are living, healthy, adaptive, continually growing organisms. Our bodies,
organs, glands and systems are highly integrated and continually processing and
responding to our environment. Therefore, we need to nourish and support all of
our body systems, which provide a solid foundation for the body to build
on. Thus, herbs can help in stress reduction, environmental detoxification,
digestive enhancement, hormonal balance, metabolic and immune support, energy
enhancement, and physical recovery. ________________ HELLERWORK is a method of deep-tissue bodywork developed by Joseph Heller. The connective tissue (or facia) which envelops the muscles is deeply massaged, moved, stretched and elongated during each session. This re-organization of the facia facilitates a re-shaping of posture and alignment. Rigid structural tissue becomes pliant, supple and softer. The Hellerwork sessions include guided movements drawn on the client's inherent, natural organic movement patterns. Another valuable component is the verbal dialogue which is used to begin an inquiry and awareness into emotions, attitudes, belief systems, etc. These become locked and held in the body, blocking and restricting posture, body shape and movement flow. The results include optimum strength with perfect ease, natural grace and freedom of movement, a connectedness of all the body parts to the whole, deeper awareness of the relation of body, mind and emotions, and general well-being and harmony. Suggested Reading:Bodywise—Heller & Henkin ________________ Herbology is an ancient way of healing found in cultures throughout the world utilizing plants and their derivatives as preventive and curative medicine. It is believed that medicinal and nutritional supplements synthesized from separate and isolated elements create a physical dependency in the body by reducing its ability to extract these elements from whole foods. Whole herbs, however, retain the subtler ingredients necessary to balance the active elements, thus transporting a balanced substance into the body that can catalyze healing more effectively. In this way, herbal therapy strengthens the natural functions of the body without the negative side effects of synthetic drugs. Herbs are prepared for internal and external use in a variety of ways, including teas, tinctures, extracts, oils ointments, and compresses. Suggested

SANCTUARY _____________________ Holistic Dentistry incorporates the holistic approach into the practice of dentistry. This approach has grown in popularity in recent years as people have become educated regarding the negative affects of metal fillings, heavy drugs and unnecessary x-rays. The holistic dentists' primary concern is to bring an integrated whole-life approach to dentistry for the optimal functioning of body, mind and spirit. The holistic dentist will
carefully monitor procedure and practice, minimizing medicine. Amalgam (mercury)
fillings are not used. Holistic dentistry offers homeopathy, acupressure,
kinesiology, hypnosis, nutritional support, non-surgical gum therapy and T.M.J.
therapy, in addition to a full range of dental services. _____________________ Holistic Medicine/Healing attempts to blend the best aspects of conventional medicine and surgery with ancient and recent practices focused on health and healing. Utilizing a synthesis of any number of healing approaches, holistic physicians and healers attempt to understand and work with their patients' physical, emotional, spiritual and psychosocial needs. Treatments may range from
a few simple procedures or dietary changes to complex life transforming
processes. For patients, developing a deeper sense of self-responsibility
through cooperative relationships with their healers helps further their healing
process.

It also helps us come into alignment with all that is life enhancing and positive. It is very helpful for getting unstuck, eliminating long-standing patterns and creating positive momentum. Holographic Repatterning is fast and effective because it addresses the energetic blueprint holding our limitations in place, and asks the body directly—through kinesiology, or muscle checking-- what is needed for healing. We select the healing modality that will most easily clear the pattern, from a “menu” with many options. For example, we may do eye movements, breathing patterns, tuning forks, or movements for brain activation. Repatterning facilitates easy, natural and rapid change in any area of life such as creating physical well-being, happier relationships, or business success. It’s a powerful process that can be used alone or to enhance the benefits of psychotherapy, coaching, self- help or recovery, fitness & weight loss programs, as well as medical treatment (conventional or alternative). Sessions happen in person or by phone, and can also be done for non-verbal clients such as babies, young children, and animals.

Suggested Reading: ________________________ Homeopathy is derived from the Greek word “Homoios” meaning like or similar. This natural system of medicine, known to the ancient Greeks, bases its practice on treating like with like. This Homeopathic principle is based on treating an illness with a substance that produces, in a healthy person, similar symptoms to those experienced by the sick person. Homeopathy views symptoms
as the body's natural reaction in fighting the illness and, unlike conventional
medicine, seeks to stimulate them rather than suppress them. Sometimes
called the Royal Medicine, Homeopathy is utilized by England's Royal Family. Huna- Hawaiian spirituality is a profound system for connecting with your spirituality, the earth, your body and your emotions. The Malaka traditions offers attunements (initiations) for working with the ancient and powerful Cross of Fire, harmonizing the tree selves, enjoying Life, Subconscious clearing, working with the charkas and meridians in a very deep way, working with the heart charkas of the sun and more. Suggested
reading: Practioners: ________________________ Hypnotherapy is a
technique using hypnosis which reaches into the subconscious mind for solutions
to problems the conscious mind has been unable to cope with. The subconscious,
which seems to be both wiser and more open to new ideas than the conscious,
facilitates hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy often shortcuts the search for the cause
of a psychological problem. Hypnosis is a waking state; the hypnotized person
remains in full control of his or her behavior, and usually is able to recall
the whole experience. Many people have learned to hypnotize themselves as a
regular adjunct to their daily lives.
