Presentation
Our Professional Development Speakers for the May 2010 Meeting were Bernice and Yoni Werzberger who spoke brilliantly on Psych-K and using it to create prosperity in your life. Bernice & Yonie Werzberger are 2 of only 48 certified PSYCH-K® Instructors in the world.

They discussed the need in these challenging economic times for aligning subconscious beliefs with conscious goals and how crucial to success this is. They emphasized that if your life doesn't reflect your conscious goals about prosperity, you probably lack subconscious support for your goals. Psych-K can help beautifully with this.

They showed how:

  • Your beliefs affect all areas of your life
  • Your subconscious determines 95-98% of your conclusions and is, by far, the most powerful part of your mind.
  • To effect lasting change, the subconscious mind is best approached in a "whole brain" way.

During this lecture-demo, the Werzberger's showed you how to uncover limiting subconscious beliefs about prosperity and rapidly change them using the "whole brain" methods of PSYCH-K®. You also learned of a special opportunity to benefit both yourselves and the NGHGA at the same time.

Our Professional Development Speaker for the April 2010 Meeting was Dr. Arden Rayne, PhD who spoke eloquently on Mind-Body Healing. What a great presentation! She held everyone in awe during the entire evening. She talked about the importance of holding a mind state of more than neutrality during healing sessions.

She explained the relationship between spiritual karma versus physical karma and the mind and body's influence on each other within this karmic dynamic. Allowing the universe to offer, and you to receive the tools, guidance and information that it has for you. She showed us how to practice an exercise of slowing down the mind's thought processes and learning to hold a thought for healing work. The mind versus the transcendental mind was explored. It was an wonderful evening of hearing something new and being able to understand and hold the highest healing space for your clients and allowing the highest flow of energy and information.

Dr. Rayne discussed understanding the difference between the ego's information and divine information. She focused on trusting divine information and accepting that everything is in perfect order. Entertaining the thought that everything is dictated by the universal loving mind and what do you really have control over and what is and where is YOUR focus. Following your true nature and accepting that which is given or not given by the Absolute and allowing that Anything is Possible.
