We Did It!

We just completed our annual ropes course! Ropes is an awesome experience where participants are afforded the opportunity to look at self-limiting beliefs and make new choices about the way they face life. No one walks away from this full day in the woods without re-evaluating what's possible and what they're really capable of. What's holding you back? Thanks to those who participated this year (and braved the weather), we hope to see you all next year!

Notes on Abundance - from the seminar

The world points out what we don’t have; however, abundance is about accepting what we DO have. The message presented by the media is that we need certain products or a certain lifestyle in order to feel good enough. In truth, when we focus on what we have, contentment increases. Focusing on lack produces fear and scarcity-mindedness, whereas focusing on what we already have generates contentment and gratitude. Fear and scarcity move the very thing we want farther away from us. Gratitude moves what we want towards us.

At one time in my life when I was struggling financially, my focus was to ensure I had enough money to pay the bills. I had a list of all my bills on the cupboard. I thought about my bills every time I walked by and stewed and stressed about how they would all get paid. Then a friend told me that I would be more productive in paying my bills if I didn't focus on it so strongly. Over-focusing can be a good way to get things done, but in this instance it wasn't productive. She told me “what we focus on grows” and helped me see that I was focusing on the fear of not having enough money. This state of fear manifested scarcity and lack. The worry and fear about the bills was my state of mind and it kept me in a place of misery, joylessness, and depression. I thought that being committed to paying my bills in this way was a good thing and would make it happen, until I realized that bills could get paid without the suffering. I decided to shift my focus to gratitude. I acknowledged all the blessings in my life as well as how much I actually had - a roof over my head, food to eat, etc. I put my bills away and practiced trust. I finally felt calm, relaxed, and content. To my surprise everything shifted and not only did the bills still get paid, but I received more than expected. Now, instead of operating out of the belief system about money that was modeled to me, I've learned that bills can be paid with joy, there can be more than just what's needed to pay the bills, and that I can live in abundance.

Despite what the world would have you believe, if you have any money in your pocket or in a bank account, you’re classified in the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If you have food for not only today but for tomorrow also, you are classified in the top 5% of the world's wealthy. This understanding puts things in perspective and helps us focus on what we do have. What we focus on grows.

Welcome to Our Blog

Our Mission Statement:
We are committed to elevating the human condition by celebrating the process of life and by liberating the soul through truth.

Introduction
We were founded in 1999 by Pam Robinson for the purpose of teaching emotional release and healing techniques. We currently offer books, weekend workshops, free workshops, private emotional release sessions, as well as a year-long training program which includes the option of becoming an emotional release facilitator. We use “The Process” – a comprehensive method for healing and bringing to closure experiences from the past which have continued to impact our lives in a negative way. We refer to this method as “processing”, “emotional processing” or “emotional release work.” The tools we use to assist with the process are bio-kinesiology, guided imagery, neuro-linguistic programming, speak-out-feelings, role play, inner child work and visualization. During a process, we:

1. Determine the most important age for us to work on.
2. Identify emotionally-charged experiences from that age that have left us with negative emotions stored in our body.
3. Release those emotions using a combination of techniques.
4. Work through the nonproductive, unhealthy, or destructive thought patterns, beliefs, decisions and behaviors that grew out of those experiences.
5. Continue working with the above items until we’ve shifted to a place of greater clarity, truth, and peace and we’re prepared to make new choices about our life.

Stored emotions can leave us with any number of health problems, emotional difficulties, psychological or spiritual challenges. Being emotionally incomplete brings procrastination, clutter, debt, poor time management, a sense of powerlessness, and a loss of energy. Processing brings closure and completion to the past, and completion brings energy, power, freedom, improved health and emotional maturity.

Year-Long Program Requirements
Applicants must have a high school diploma, have experienced at least one process, and demonstrate the ability to meet the financial obligations. An independent-study option is available for students who are unable to attend class on campus or at any of the satellite schools.

Continuing Education Credits
Utah residents can receive continuing education credits for our year-long program as well as for our Weekend Trainings. To get the credits you will need to send a certificate of completion to the Utah State Office of Education. This can benefit teachers, nurses and other professionals who are required to earn continuing education credits. Further details are available from the Institute of Healing Arts.

Out-of-state students will need to check with their individual state Office of Education to see whether credits are available.
