Speaker Topics—Synopses

Heart and Soul Healing—Dr. Mitchell's Heart and Soul Healing workshop offers an experience of HealingSpace's multiple dimensions and a view into the use of energy healing in medical and personal situations by presenting underlying  concepts and science, and presenting actual cases where energy healing has been employed.

The 5 Aspects of Healing™—Dr. Mitchell presents The 5 Aspects of Healing™. We human beings are complex and multidimensional. Healing is the process by which we bring more of ourselves and our inner truth into our lives. In this talk, we look at 5 aspects of ourselves that function simultaneously, making the fabric of who we are, and then work with each of these. When all 5 aspects are addressed and working together, we come into alignment, and have an opportunity to experience true well-being and health. The 5 Aspects provide a framework or tool for achieving total health. The 5 Aspects are: Spirit, Mind, Body, Emotions, and Relationships.

This talk can be presented as a lecture or as a workshop—either format will include didactic and experiential aspects.

Women's Health Issues: Healing the Body, Mind, and Spirit—Dr. Mitchell will discuss how health issues can be an opportunity for healing and personal growth. A woman's wisdom is explored through one's life cycles, stages and spiritual circuitry. Dr. Mitchell discusses the Mind, Body and Spirit as avenues to wellness and enlightenment, and introduces the 5 Aspects of Healing as a framework and tool for achieving health.

This session will empower you with knowledge in the medical and alternative arenas.

Women's Health Issues: a Medical Healer's Perspective—Dr. Mitchell contrasts the approaches of medical and healing practices, and presents a framework for integrating these. When illness is considered as an opportunity for healing, and the medical and healing approaches are integrated, a more profound result can be achieved. Actual medical cases are presented where the integrated approach has been used.

This lecture was presented at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing for students and faculty.

Vibrational Healing: Where Energy Healing meets Science—This presentation offers a detailed discussion of the use of energy healing in serious medical situations. The underlying scientific concepts that explain energy healing are presented. Actual cases where energy healing has been used as primary or adjunct therapy will be presented complete with medical documentation. Physicians and practitioners will gain knowledge about ways in which energy healing is used in health issues, and the scientific concepts that explain how it can work.

This presentation is often co-presented by Dr. Mitchell and Tricia Eldridge (master healing practitioner and Founder of the EnergyTouch School of Advanced Healing). It can be presented as a didactic lecture alone, or presented with an additional experiential workshop on Dolphin Breath (by Tricia Eldridge), a system for the practitioner to access energy healing potential within themselves

Invoking the WiseWoman: Menopause Redefined—Menopause is a challenging and exciting transition for most women. Dr. Mitchell addresses the concerns and challenges that women may experience during menopause and offers practical information so women may understand this phase, as well as make choices that optimize their health and well being. A positive and empowering framework (including The 5 Aspects of Healing™) for healing is presented as a way of using this life stage as an opportunity for personal growth and improved health. Topics addressed include perimenopause, bio-identical hormones, herbal remedies, aromatherapy, heart and bone health, psychological and relationship issues, sexuality, and the energy body.

Fatigue Disorders—Dr. Mitchell discusses a spectrum of fatigue disorders, including sleep disorders, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Fibromyalgia. A framework for successful treatments and healing is presented.

Simple Meditation for Health—Dr. Mitchell discusses what meditation is, and the health benefits it can provide. Medical issues are presented that can be improved or reversed with meditation. Dr. Mitchell teaches a simple breath meditation and leads the audience in this experience. Participants can expect to leave the session being able to practice on their own.
