Superconscious Manifesting: Create the Life You Long For One Conversation at a Time

Every relationship is an ongoing conversation. Unless we want to keep having the same conversation over and over again, we must become aware of the stories we tell ourselves, heal our subconscious, and begin communicating from deep within our Superconscious.

If you’re hesitant to ask for what you truly deserve…
If you’re tired of ongoing conflict in your life…
If you’re ready to create the life you truly long for…
Now is the time to start having Superconscious Conversations!
Whether you’re a business leader, team member, parent, or friend, you have the opportunity to initiate conversations that cultivate health, hope, and healing in your life and the lives of others.

Shaking Off Stress, Anxiety & Trauma Through Tremoring
Stephanie Hoi-Nga Wong
In the workshop, I will teach TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) — an effective technique to release stored stress, anxiety and trauma from the body that have been accumulated from our daily lives, prolonged stressful situations and traumatic life experiences.
I will guide attendees through a set of simple stretches and exercises with a purpose to activate tremors (a healing vibration) that will help relieve the deep muscular tensions where the body holds memory of stress. TRE helps connect with the body and the mind by being conscious about our physical sensations and inner chatter.
I will incorporate simple exercises of self-inquiry, self-touch and self-compassion to help attendees reach a deeper level of relief and freedom from their stresses. The experience of this self-care tool is unique for each individual.

The 5:1 Mindset: Creating powerful mental health habits in under 5 minutes or less
Jose Hernandez
Having five or more positive emotions for every negative strengthens resilience, self-discipline, and emotion regulation (Fredrickson & Losada, 2005). 1:1 ratios or lower are related to emotional disorders and make it difficult to develop SEL skills. We’ll share three 5-minute routines that create this ratio in students and adults:1. Mood and energy enhancers, 2. Fueling purpose, and 3. Reframing. These are grounded in CBT, NLP, and cognitive neuroscience. Handouts and curriculum will be given.

Food and Mood: Dietary approaches to making the mind calm, alert and balanced
Ajita Patel
Ayurveda has long recognized the relationship between the mental and physical effects of various foods and the condition of the person who eats a particular food as well as when, where, and how that food is consumed. I will explain how food affects our mental state and how to use Ayurvedic principles to stabilize and balance the mind. There will be a brief introduction to Ayurveda with a deeper focus on the concepts that relate to the relationship between food and mental health. I am excited to teach you this powerful knowledge of how food affects our thoughts and emotions and consequently these then shape our words, actions impacting our relationships and ultimately our experiences in life. You know how food affects your physical health but imagine if you knew how important food is for the mind! You will be more mindful of what you put in your mouth. Come learn what to eat, what to avoid and why.

Mixed Up to Fixed Up in 4 Weeks
Susan Foxley
Mindfulness is all about personal transformation… from where we are now to where we want to be and the kind of healthier and happier lives we want in the future. If that sounds simple, good, because it’s not hard if we know how to get there. Remember also that fitness is not just physical. It’s emotional, mental, even spiritual for many people. It’s mind AND body. In this workshop we’ll learn how to:
1-Clean and Clear away old habits, negative thoughts and the weights that bring us down…
2-Plan and Plant the changes we want in our lives…
3-Witness and Watch those changes unfold…

Generational Healing®: Healing your Ancestors and Family
Crystal Rasmussen
Have you ever wondered how your family got to be the way they are today? Do you see patterns in yourself from your mother or grandmother being passed on to your own children?
What if you learned that the pain in your back, your knee, the physical weight that you carry or the constant headaches are due to an ancestor’s unhealed trauma that your genetics still carry? That would be a revolutionary breakthrough and a relief in understanding where the source of your physical, mental or emotional pain comes from.
YOUR ANCESTORS PAST EMOTIONAL PAIN IS STORED WITHIN YOUR DNA
Scientists now understand how the genetics of your ancestors effect your physical, emotional and mental behavior and patterns. Trauma experienced by earlier generations can influence the structure of our genes, making them more likely to “switch on” negative responses to stress and trauma.
Hormones and glands at any age can be affected by past abuse and trauma. You inherit these genes from your ancestors, they can cause you to struggle emotionally or physically today with issues. These experiences can be healed.
Every family holds pain, sadness, guilt, shame and beliefs that don’t support the person you are today. Releasing these inherited patterns that are passed on generationally frees you to express and experience who you are now.
Director of Operations for Generational Healing® International, Crystal Rasmussen, will be at the expo facilitating Generational Healing® sessions and sharing more information about how to awaken your spiritual gifts, heal family trauma and communicate with the Earth’s Ancestors.

The Art of Initiation: When Self Help Isn’t Enough
Rachel Miller, Lorraine Pimienta and Whitney Larson
Spirituality is meant to put us back in touch with our true essence of Joy, Love and Spirit. However, without a clear path, it’s easy to get lost in the multitude of healers, therapists and self-help advice and remain in a cycle of suffering. The Modern Mystery School offers a complete path of progression using the ancient art of Initiation to anchor spiritual energy into our physical form, allowing us to break unhealthy cycles once and for all. In this talk we will cover the history of initiation, its benefits and discuss the core initiations of the Lineage of King Salomon. We look forward to sharing this information with you that has the potential to open new possibilities in your life!

Intro to Chakras and Mental Health
Kaylin Zabienski
Class will consist of 10 minutes of chakra explanation and 45 minutes of Vinyasa flow.
We will start with a short introduction to the chakra system and how each chakra relates to an aspect of mental health. We will then look at how each of the chakras align with Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. We will discuss how when a chakra is blocked, it can create stuckness in different aspects of our lives and relationships, even leading to mental health symptoms. The class follows with a vinyasa flow through the chakra system to open and activate each chakra in order to promote more balance and mental clarity. The class ends with a guided savasana.

El Poder de Tu Voz
Luisa Fernanda Gualy Garcia
SPANISH WORKSHOP: Own your story, own your voice is a workshop where we will be exploring the connections between vulnerability, our unique voices, and building confidence. Our story is directly linked to owning who we are as a whole, with both the shadow and the light. All of it makes us who we are and we are loved and worthy as a whole. This principle will guide the experience.
This is intended to be a mindset AND somatic experience. Rooting this exploration in our bodies.
The workshop has four parts. In part I, we will begin with a gentle exploration and discussion around the questions:
What is “one’s story”?
What is vulnerability to each of us?
Is there a connection between vulnerability and our own story?
In part II we’ll explore our stories or narratives about ourselves through a light/shadow work:
What are the parts of you that you put in the light? What are those that you put in the shadows? The spoiler alert here is that our shadows are sources of great inner power and can make our voices raise louder.
In part III we will practice giving a voice to all those parts of ourselves, trying out different voices. Through this exercise we’ll release some of the emotional charge attached to this narratives. At the end of this practice we will cool down, coming down to our bodies, using movement to re-ground.
Finally, in part IV we’ll do a free writing exercise with the intention of integrating the aftermath of the experience. Participants will then be guided to write down a statement through which they chose one of their shadow/growth opportunities and turn it into a power affirmation for themselves, bring it to light.

Healing from Trauma Through the Faerie Realm
Amber Amrhein
As a child, I experienced sexual and emotional abuse resulting in a terrible struggle with PTSD and C-PTSD. My deep connection to the faerie realm helped me process my traumas and gain much needed support and love as I reconnected to my inner child. This speech will be a combination of diving deep into faeries, as well as sharing the powerful realizations I’ve had that fostered my healing. Some examples of these realizations are as follows: Faeries are masters of the in-between. There is good in the bad, and bad in the good, which has allowed me to find purpose in my traumas and overcome feelings of violation. Their playful, mischievous nature allowed me to find comfort in play and exploration, both of which I became completely disconnected from. Connecting with faeries through dance was also a powerful tool. Movement heals our bodies at a physical level, while also allowing us to embody a specific energy, ultimately aiding in the alignment to it. I will also discuss ways to connect to the faerie realm, and how they may already be helping us day to day.
