This is a description.

The workshop will teach participants how to use both Western and Eastern concepts of energy balance. Western concepts of nerve conduction, hemispheric functional differences, cybernetics, resonance, coherence and entrainment, with Eastern concepts of polarities and the unblocking, flow and balance of energy will be included. A source of initial focus is used to transform symptoms of sympathetic nervous system arousal into a therapeutic resource for healing. You have a wealth of life experience at your fingertips, and the hand focusing techniques can be used to bridge the gap between what you have and what you don’t. An explanatory model connecting the balancing of sympathetic and parasympathetic functioning with Eastern concepts of polarities and energy balance will be introduced.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. Demonstrate two hand focusing hypnotic induction techniques with patients and for self-hypnosis.
2. Explain the parallel between parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system functioning and Eastern concepts of polarities and energy balance.
3. Demonstrate the use hand focused language for resource retrieval in four areas.
