Dan Cleary - Induction and Intent 

This presentation benefits novice to expert by demonstrating the incredible effectiveness of intent. Recognition of the impact of life experience enhances induction. By utilizing the energies of the client we naturally develop an aura of healing, causing clear understanding of the success of the session. The simplicity of these techniques reminds participants to immediately access awareness of success for themselves and their clients. 

• Clarify awareness that induction begins prior to the session.

• Realize the healing power of intent. 

• Learn to shift "resistance" to advantage. 

• Influence client expectation to achieve powerful results. 

• Connect with the certainty of success.

10:00 AM - 11:45AM - 
Patricia Scott - Michael Preston's Library Technique

In this seminar, Patti will present Dr. Preston’s powerful technique that she learned from him in Arizona in the early 1990’s.  Through the years she has encountered many variations of this technique and found it to be very adaptable and effective for practically every issue or problem a client may present.  Yet, from time to time Patti says she finds it valuable to return to the original methods developed by Dr. Preston as a reminder of some important aspects of this technique that may often be overlooked or underestimated.  If new to your practice, you will find this process an invaluable addition to your toolbox.  If already familiar with this or a similar technique, this seminar will give you a fresh look at it that may enhance your expertise in using it with your clients.
