Dream Time Hello. My name is Hughston Elijah. I am a dream specialist. I was fortunate to grow up in Brazil, and as a young child, I was blessed to “study” with a tribal Shaman. I learned the value of “dream time” and doing one’s Inner Work at an early age. Several years later, I had the opportunity to live in Tanzania, East Africa. While there, I was honored to “study” with a Zulu medicine man. The great import of “dream time” was reinforced once again. These two “registered” moments in my life have helped shape my deep interest and appreciation of my “dream time”, my communication from my Sub-Conscious Mind to my Conscious Mind.
Dreams serve an amazing purpose in our life. Dreams provide meaning and insight into who we are! Dreams are a fascinating look into the Inner Self. Dreams are a creative expression, emanating from our Sub-Conscious Mind. Dreams provide a wealth of data, information and wisdom for us to garner in our quest for Self Growth and understanding.

The Power of Energy Work Amy Schilling-Busch
Energy is everywhere - in everything and everyone. It is the Universal Life Force Energy that flows through us all.
It is just as important to our survival as the blood pumping through our veins; it nourishes us not only on a physical level, but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Each one of these parts is connected, and we
ultimately depend on the wellbeing of each to maintain a healthy and balanced whole.

Energy work encompasses many intuitive energy healing modalities, including Reiki. With the intention of always serving the clients’ highest need and greatest good, a practitioner channels and directs the flow of the Universal Life Force Energy through the client’s physical body. These healing sessions restore the healthy balance of energy and its pathways-clearing blockages, which manifest as tender spots and painful trigger points, restoring balance, and recharging the body. Total healing goes far beyond kneading and gliding strokes and includes corrective work, breathing, and energy work. The goal is to improve posture and create an awareness of holding patterns that people may not know exist. These holding patterns develop over time due to postural issues or old injuries, and the more time that passes, the more firmly our bodies cling to these patterns. Understanding the anatomy of our bodies and knowing how to do corrective bodywork is essential, but it must also be understood that trauma of any kind, often goes deeper than the physical body and affects the emotional and spiritual bodies as well. Emotions and memories associated with that trauma must be healed before a physical release can take place. Energy work is subtle, but powerful and perfectly compliments massage in these instances. Once healing begins, helping clients create body/mind/soul connections helps empower them to be aware of how unhealthy patterns start and allows them to help prevent themselves from falling into the same old

ruts. Understanding that each aspect of ourselves is connected is key….a body in pain can create mental anguish, just as stress and anxiety can manifest in the body as physical symptoms, and not following your soul’s path might create emotional discord that will eventually turn into a physical ailment…it may seem like a huge chore to keep each of these parts happy, but a little awareness goes a long way. Life is busy-juggling work, families, managing households and taking care of business, we often get into routines of survival that really don’t allow us to do much more than tread water. Simply balancing our energy provides a little reprieve from the chaos that is life, and will hopefully inspire awareness and desire for an ongoing self-care regiment. Amy Schilling-Busch has lived in Oklahoma for almost two decades. She is married to Joe, who shares her love of animals, and together they are parents to a houseful of rescued cats and dogs. She is a closet artist and lover of books, plants, and meditation. She is a Bodyworker trained in therapeutic massage techniques, Reiki, and Cranial Sacral work who intuitively uses crystals and therapeutic grade essential oils to enhance her healing work. Amy works alongside other gifted healers at Likeminded Therapies in OKC. Visit their website at www.likemindedtherapies.com or contact Amy directly at 405-408-1737.

While we sleep, our Mind is assimilating our life thru the creation of three dimensional-cinematographic-mental and motion pictures. The dreamer’s sub-conscious chooses symbolic representations of energetics that are relevant to the dreamer’s life at that time. Dreams are a symbolic story. Because dreams originate in our Sub-Conscious Mind, our flow of creational energy, they are foretelling. They prognosticate our life. They reveal our state of mind. Dreams disclose the “truth” about our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. One of the aesthetic qualities of dreams is that they are “brutally” honest. Dreams are un-filtered and uncontaminated by the ego; thus providing an authentic perspective about our life. This sheds “Light” on “Who Am I?” To learn the language of dreams; i.e. translating the symbols, is a skilled endeavor. To harvest the information and wisdom contained is a true treasure for the betterment of our life. Remember this: Your Dreams are all about you! To know thyself is a noble quest. Dreams are a tool, a gateway and a pathway to your Inner Divine Self and To Be One with your Inner Divine Authority! I am working at Likeminded Therapies. I am conducting dream classes and doing private consultations.

Nutrition Response Testing
Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) utilizes applied kinesiology (also known as muscle testing) to uncover stressors in the body. Once stressors are determined, whole-food nutritional supplements are introduced to restore the body's natural and effective recovery system. NRT is gentle and precise, and is used to access and remedy the root cause of tricky issues -- even those that have been unresponsive to other methods. It is good for all ages.

Learning from Suffering Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Empowers Growth in Relationship
to Mental, Emotional, and Physical Discomfort
Sarah Bustamante

When Janine came to her first Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session, she was completely exhausted and felt overburdened with life. Between taking care of two small children, working a full-time job, and carrying the financial strain of a house that had fallen into disrepair, she was left feeling stressed out, drained, and unmotivated. She felt as if she would never achieve her dream of going back to school to get her PhD. To cope, she spent what little spare time she had zoned out in front of the TV, overeating, and gaining weight as a result. She knew something had to change, but wasn’t quite sure how or where to begin. She felt stuck. When we experience mental, emotional, and physical discomfort, we often feel helpless and adopt an attitude of “how can I just make this discomfort go away?” Each time we distract ourselves and avoid suffering it’s like putting on another mask that distorts our vision, making us unable to recognize the internal patterns that hinder us from changing ourselves and the situations we keep finding ourselves in. We get caught in a paradigm paralysis in which we can’t see beyond our current

ways of being and therefore remain powerless and changeless in the midst of it all. But what happens when we fully experience suffering and allow ourselves to fully feel the vulnerability we so often push away? Brene Brown, researcher and storyteller says, “vulnerability is the core of shame, fear, and our struggle for worthiness, but it is also the birthplace of joy, creativity, belonging, and love.” When we allow ourselves to be curious about discomfort, accepting it as an inevitable part of life, then we fully experience our wholeness. In this experience we find that our bodies give us clues and answers as to what choices and actions will further our development and contentment in life. The key

is learning to listen, even when the discomfort makes us want to close our eyes, stick our fingers in our ears, and yell, “la, la, la, la, la!” When you come to a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session, all parts of you get to show up; breath, body, emotions, thoughts, life circumstances, whatever it may be. It’s all about taking the wealth of information you have stored in your body, getting to know it in a very intimate way, and then using it as a springboard for living life in a more proactive and fulfilling way. In one session, you might learn from laughter, in another, from that incessant pain in your knee, and yet in another, from a past memory that’s been hard to let go. Through meditation, movement, and dialogue, the therapist safely supports you in being self-aware and self-present, bringing focused attention to your body, and deciphering the messages it is sending out. The therapist does not give advice, but instead empowers you to find your own answers from within. This is when a paradigm shift occurs and you begin to see yourself as your greatest teacher, gaining a sense of clarity and

knowing that you could never find through numbing and avoidance. The thing that stood out the most to Janine during her Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy appointment was how stuck she felt. With the therapists support, she was able to recognize some of the triggers that were causing her sense of “stuckness” and notice how they showed up in her life as zoning out and overeating. As Janine listened to her body and tapped into her inner wisdom, the advice she found was to “move” every time she noticed feeling stuck again. To put this advice into action in her daily life, the first tangible step she came up with was to skip watching tv that evening and take a walk with her children instead. In this way, Janine took the first steps, literally, to change her relationship to discomfort. When Janine left her Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy appointment that day, she felt as if that stuck feeling had somehow started to loosen up and for the first time in a long time, felt inspired and motivated to change.

Dream Analysis
Hughston Elijah
Working with one's dreams is a tool of consciousness; going beyond ones ego, going beyond Conscious Mind; going beyond our social contracts with Self; and going beyond our agreements with social consciousness! Dreams are filled with data and information that is unfiltered and uncontaminated by the ego. Dreams provide raw and honest information about ourselves. Dreams are a tool to help us break free of conscious redundancy and to aid us in the process of creating new focused intentions; and moving towards union with our Divine consciousness, and most importantly our inner Divine authority. Working with one's dreams on Purpose, supports our expansion into and expression of our Spiritual consciousness!

Esoteric Transactional Analysis
Hughston Elijah
This class is packed with information, exercise, and techniques to help you better understand yourself and the people with whom you communicate!
For example: If your partner says to you, "You never listen to me!"; then your partner is inviting you to play a "game;" a TA (Transactional Analysis) game; a TA psychological game. If you accept the invitation and defend yourself, then game on! This game will eventually culminate with a "bad" feeling payoff! Transactional Anaylsis (TA) its an effective psychological paradigm to help us understand our behaviors and our communications; and then how to change these energetic dynamics that no longer serve our highest and best good. TA is a systematic and structural approach to understand our ego states, transactions, double messages, crossed transactions, discounts, injunctions, drivers and much more.
