RAYMA DITSON-SOMMER

Topic Title:  Brain Plasticity Through Learning and Memory Training

 

Topic Description:  It was once believed that our brain becomes fixed as we age.  We have been led to think that an aging brain is a result of getting older.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  In the last 20-years, large amounts of research have proven that the brain never stops growing when learning, changing and adjusting to new activities.  These activities actually produce new neurons that connect.  It is the connections that matter and the more connections made, the better the brain plasticity.  These connections require neurons.  When neurons are not challenged to grow they are “pruned” and lost and memory is lost.  Learn to include brain plasticity program activities in your practice.  Combine your knowledge of hypnosis with vibratory stimulim specific activities, skills and a understanding of the working brain to include programs for aging brains and hope for those who are concerned that challenges such as Alzheimers and Dementia are in their future.

Bio:   Well, I don’t really know why I call this ‘Adam Eason Bio’ — it really should be called 'My Bio’, because it is me that writes it, after all.

As a result of the seemingly miraculous changes that I encountered with hypnotherapy as a younger man, I abandoned conventional medicine and studied hypnotherapy and modern personal development.  Having spent time as complaints officer for The Hypnotherapy Association in the UK, running a busy hypnosis training school, speaking all over the world on my beloved subject, ranting on my weekly podcast and daily blog... In the last 10 years I have worked with over 6000 individuals in my private hypnotherapy consulting rooms…

I am author of ‘The Secrets of Self-Hypnosis’ and ‘The Hypnotic Salesman’ as well as others which have been translated into a whole bunch of other languages. My many unique hypnosis and personal development audio programmes sell globally and my work has featured extensively on BBC1 and ITV television channels here in the UK.  I live on the south coast of England, very close to the sea. I love running by it, surfing in it, painting it, and holding hands with my wife alongside it. Find me at www.adam-eason.com.

Topic Title:  The Shift

Topic Description: Life as we know it is coming to an end, as we rapidly move toward a transitional event or cleansing that will take place prior to 2012. In the least, the vibrational rate of our planet is shifting, which is substantiated by science. Plus the ice is melting, the poles are shifting, and the financial world is destabilizing as we more toward “zero point.”  “Shift Thinking” says growth-oriented people are being activated. Their thinking is already more in tune with higher vibration, so they are experiencing and responding to this planetary increase more than others. They are being “shifted” or “called” to do more and be more. Their vibratory essence is no longer capable of tolerating negatively. So they are responding to new callings¾new careers that will be of more service to the planet. In relationships, if the couple is not growing together, or if one partner is holding the other back, many unions are being dissolved in favor of a “spiritual partnership” with a mate of matching vibration rate.  In this workshop, he will speak and share research on the subject.

ROB WILLIAMS

Topic Title:  Free Your Mind from the Prison of Limiting Beliefs

 

Topic Description: PSYCH-K is a simple and direct way to change self-limiting beliefs at the subconscious level of the mind, where nearly all human behaviour originates, both constructive and destructive. Its overall goal is to accelerate individual and global spiritual evolution by aligning subconscious beliefs with conscious wisdom from the world’s great spiritual and intellectual traditions. The result of the practical application of this wisdom in our personal and professional lives, brings a greater sense of purpose and satisfaction, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. PSYCH-K is a non-invasive, interactive process of change, a simple, yet powerful technique to change negative beliefs that are self-sabotaging, a unique blend of various tools for change, some contemporary and some ancient. It is derived from scientific research in brain dominance theory as well as ancient mind/body wisdom. Learn about this  ground breaking approach to facilitating change at the subconscious level, a process that transcends the standard methods of visualization, affirmations, will power, and positive thinking.  It  is especially effective in the areas of behavioral/habit change, wellness and stress reduction.

Finding the accepted counseling philosophy of the day lacking in spiritual essence and overall effectiveness, he studied many non-standard modalities for change, both ancient and contemporary. Out of his studies came a series of intuitive insights that became the body of work called PSYCH-K.
