“Expanding the Light of Healing Connection”

A Time to “Be” Together, Catch-up with Friends and Meet New Friends…

Joyce Whiteley Hawkes, Ph.D.

“After a shattering near-death experience, Joyce left her career as a biophysicist and embarked on a study of indigenous healing practices”.

This two (2) hour keynote presentation will take place Sunday morning, April 25, 2010 from 9am-11am at the HT CA 4th Annual Regional Symposium in San Diego (www.HealingTouchCalifornia.com for more Symposium info). .

Author of Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge from Soul to Cell (pub date: 10.06; now in seven foreign editions), biophysicist, Joyce Hawkes, Ph.D. has made cell biology understandable and useful in healing. Her unique contribution includes how to work with cells in a conscious way based on solid science and decades of experience in applying those tools for healing. Joyce’s insights provide ways to find the interface between consciousness and the body and practical means of making that connection for health and vitality.

4th Symposium Keynote: “Spirituality, Energy Healing and Anointing - What Makes the HT Spiritual Ministry Program Different”

Linda Smith, RN, MS, HN-BC, HTCP, HTSM-CP/I, CCA assisted by
Claramae Weber, RN, HN-BC, CHTP, HTSM-CP/I, CCA

This one and one-half (1 ½) hour keynote presentation will take place Sunday afternoon, April 25, 2010 from 1:30pm - 3pm at the HT CA 4th Annual Regional Symposium in San Diego (www.HealingTouchCalifornia.com for more Symposium info).  Included will be a Power Point visual.

Nearly 14 years ago, Janet Mentgen gave Linda Smith the task of setting up another division of the Healing Touch Program geared for those who wanted a language that would be specific for healing ministries. Today the Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry (HTSM) approach is part of an educational institute (Institute for Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy - ISHA) that now offers two certification programs, one in energy healing and one in aromatherapy.

This is more than a story–you will learn how HTSM evolved from and today expands the Healing Touch Community worldwide. Linda and Claramae will share with you some of HTSM’s unique approaches to the work of Healing Touch which we have all come to cherish.

Linda is the author of three self-published books:

• Healing Oils Healing Hands, Discovering the Power of Prayer, Hands On Healing, and Anointing (2003),
• Called into Healing, Reclaiming our Judeo-Christian Legacy of Healing Touch Revised Ed., (2006)
• Essential Oils for Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Health, (2005).

In addition she has authored 5 e-books and hundreds of free articles on the internet.

Linda will be available for book-signing at the Symposium. You may purchase her books from our on-site vendor, Paradise Found Bookstore and Gifts.

Claramae has been a part of Healing Touch since the early days and was among the first HT certified practitioners and instructors. Like Linda she aided Janet Mentgen as Janet developed her Healing Touch Program. For the past several years Claramae has been an instructor with Linda Smith and has assisted her in developing the Institute of Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy. Claramae teaches in both the Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry program and in the Certification in Clinical Aromatherapy program.  She has also been involved in the development of HT California since 2007, generously volunteering on the Symposium Committee each year and currently is serving on the newly formed HT CA Non-profit Board of Directors.

Both Linda and Claramae will take part in Anointing of Hands for all Symposium attendees during the Closing Ceremony

Post-Symposium Offering:

“Soft-Sell Marketing Your Healing Practice: Staying in Your Spiritual Heart While Letting People Know What You Do”

This Post-Symposium Workshop will be held on Monday April 26, 2010 from 9am - 1pm the day following the HT CA 4th Annual Regional Symposium in San Diego (www.HealingTouchCalifornia.com for more Symposium info).  If you are interested in attending this workshop ONLY and not the 4th Annual Regional Symposium then please click here for the registration form.

There will be 2 hours of lecture plus 2 hours of practical experience.

The book: Heart of Marketing, Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back by Judith Sherven and Jim Sniechowski, will be sold during the Symposium by the on-site vendor Paradise Found Bookstore and Gifts.

Linda has developed this workshop knowing that: You take a course in Healing Touch, Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry or Healing Touch for Animals and by the end of the first morning you are inspired, and by the end of the day, you know that you found the next step on your path in life. You begin your passionate life’s work based in your new-found healing knowledge. You have dreams of establishing a practice and being of service to others. You just know you have found the work of your heart. You set up a healing practice and then you wait… and then you wait.

Disappointment may set in-why is it that no one comes? What have I done “wrong” or what haven’t I done right to show people what I have to offer in the way of healing?

This four hour post-Symposium workshop will help you identify how “hard-sell” marketing techniques simply don’t work in healing practices but “soft-sell” does. Being in a healing practice is a spiritual process. It is tapping into the love that you are and allowing it to be your magnetic attraction. We begin by identifying your “core” business, core competencies and who your audience is, then examine your marketing identity and how soft sell marketing fits a heart-centered healing approach. Next, we will look at selling and how selling is “spiritual service.” A healing practice needs to be run as a soul-based business which is fundamental to achieving the level of success and satisfaction that you are after.

What is your life’s mission? What is the spiritual significance of money? What holds you back from being a financial success? This workshop will help you craft your message and draw abundance into the equation.

You will be inspired with new energy for your healing practice.

Here are the objectives for the skill practice portion of the post-conference:

• Craft your message in your business cards, brochures, web sites, etc.-anything you want to put into print;
• Identify your beliefs about marketing and what is working and not working for you;
• Identify your core business and core competencies;
• Describe your audience and your particular niche;
• Establish your marketing identity (your branding);
• Plan your products and services you want to create;
• Set your achievable goals for the immediate future.

Attending this workshop will help you whether you have a vision of creating your healing practice, desire to expand an existing practice or are looking for ways to revitalize your practice. Linda not only teaches these principles but she uses them in her own business and practice.
