Seminar: Your Five Intelligences

 

 

 

 

YOUR FIVE INTELLIGENCES: How to stay on Soul Purpose  Seminar

YOUR FIVE INTELLIGENCES:  How to stay on Soul Purpose

26 February 2012

New Spirit Festival, North Harbour Stadium, Auckland

Free Seminar

As we move into 2012 and continue to integrate the massive shift of consciousness that is upon us, it is imperative that we learn how to use our whole ‘body intelligence’ to live.


This requires functioning beyond the limited mind which is only designed to be a servant, not the master.

 

In this seminar you will learn about your 3 brains and 5 intelligences, and how you can use them cohesively to enhance health, prevent illness and be in alignment with your Soul’s purpose.

 

The free one hour seminar will include exercises to connect with your innate body intelligence system.

Art of Health presentation at Into Light Forum 8 Sept 2011

Into Light Forum

Presentation: Emotional Intelligence - what is it?

7.30-9 pm Thursday 8 September 2011

Meadowbank Community Hall, 29 St Johns Road, Meadowbank, Auckland

Cost: $10 ($5 special circumstances)

 

During this evening seminar Kim will introduce the topic of 'Emotional Intelligence'.

 

Kim has been studying, learning and applying emotional intelligence since 1997 when she was prompted by inner guidance to participate in an 'intuition experiment' for a year. For that year she was asked to only follow her heart and gut, rather than the head. By the end of the year this had completely transformed how she operated in daily life.

 

A number of topics may be covered during the evening including:

 

  • How to use the five intelligence systems within your body
  • How to use the three brains in your body
  • How to listen to your body intelligence and interpret what it is guiding you to do
  • How your emotional intelligence system can prevent illness

Art of Health talk at Lupus Trust 3 August 2011

 

Lupus Trust New Zealand

Interactive presentation: How to identify the messenger beneath the symptoms

1.30 - 3.30 pm Wednesday 3 August

Kelston Community Centre, 135 Awaroa Road (off Great North Road), Kelston, Auckland

Health coach Kim Knight will talk about how symptoms are often an attempt by the body to send us a ‘message’ as a result of some level of ‘dis-ease’ in the body-mind. If symptoms are understood as intelligent and useful communication from the body intelligence, we can learn how to interpret this message.

 

During this presentation Kim will show how you can start to interpret the message by explaining the 3 different levels of communication which the body uses to communicate with us. She will also demonstrate through a series of insightful questions how you can start to reveal and resolve the true cause of your symptoms.

Natural Health Conference and Expo

STRESS - THE SILENT KILLER

September 2010 AUCKLAND

at the Natural Health Conference and Expo

Venue: Aotea Centre, Auckland

 

Stress and anxiety are highly misunderstood and under-diagnosed psychosomatic states, and much of what will be said in this seminar may challenge your current concepts around ‘a certain amount of stress is good’. When our body is in a state of stress it has gone into the ‘fight or flight’ (sympathetic) nervous response. For some people this may be necessary when in a real emergency. However, in normal everyday living (and, with training, even during emergency), our body is designed to live in the parasympathetic nervous response. In layman’s terms this means the mind is calm and the body is relaxed. Only then can normal bodily functions such as digestion, elimination, hormone communication, clear thinking and very importantly, healing, take place.


Over time many people progressively come to function in a constant state of stress or ‘red alert’, which we could say has become an unconscious state of being. The detrimental effects of this are astounding, with some research studies saying as far as 90% of all health problems are stress related. In this seminar we will explore:

 

• why stress is at the root of so much disease and why it is critical to reduce and eradicate it from our lives

 

• how reducing stress surprisingly increases, rather than decreases, productivity

 

• how to spot the tell-tale signs of stress and interpret the messages the body is really sending us via symptoms of stress and tension

 

• simple techniques to bring our body-mind back into a place of peace and harmony so that with practice we can come to live permanently from this state...and reap the every day and long-term mental, emotional and physical benefits of doing so.

NZ Rheumatology Conference August 2011 Auckland

THE ROLE OF UNRESOLVED FRUSTRATION IN FIBROMYALGIA

Why and how unresolved feelings of frustration, anger and resentment build up to intense muscle pain in the body

August 2010  6-8.30pm CHRISTCHURCH

at the New Zealand Rheumatology Conference

PURPOSE

To show how the trapped emotions of frustration, anger and resentment manifest as physical symptoms and pain in the body.

METHODS

By reminding ourselves of the following:

 

  • According to quantum physics, all matter as we know it is made up of vibrations of energy, and since the human body is matter, this must be true for it too. 
  • Waves of emotional energy pass into the cells of the physical body, transiently altering their vibration, and consequently their physiological function.  This effectively starts to rewire the cells into a state of ‘dis-ease’.
  • Primary or core emotions arise spontaneously, without any thought, as waves of energy that flow directly into our physical cells and immediately alter their physiological function. 
  • The body-mind is one cohesive unit and unresolved emotional energy will build up to manifest as symptoms if that emotional energy is not dealt with.

RESULTS

Understanding that:

 

  • Symptoms are necessary and intelligent communication from the body’s intelligence system communicating its needs to the person.
  • If we can interpret the message beneath the symptoms AND take the appropriate action needed by the body, symptoms can be reduced and eliminated


When we understand and are aware of our emotional state, and can interpret and fulfil our body’s needs, we can reduce the state of ‘dis-ease’ or symptoms in the body.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR HEART MIND AND ABDOMINAL BRAIN

Why it's essential, if you want to stay healthy, to use your whole body intelligence

We are all born with an innate body intelligence which is located throughout our entire body. The question is, do you know how to use it? Just like training muscles at the gym, we may need to train our body intelligence if we have forgotten how to use it.

 

Living with our whole body intelligence means we are using our intellect and intuition together. It also increases productivity, saves energy and makes life much simpler.
