Stress Is Not the Enemy
Learning to Use Stress as Tool of Empowerment in Your Life & Business
A recent study out of Harvard determined that the stress in our lives is not the problem; it is our perception of stress that weakens us and wreaks havoc in our lives. This programmed response is meant to be empowering, a primitive survival tool that is designed to turn us into super humans. The goal is to understand and utilize this physiological dance in order to utilize this incredible chemical response, as a source of clarity, focus and courage.
In this workshop, you will:
- Learn how and why this response exists and how it is designed to strengthen you.
- Understand how this applies in a 21st century.
- Identify stress triggers in your life.
- Shift your perspective to use stress to strengthen, not weaken you.
- Begin to look at stress as a friend, not an enemy.

- Workshop 1 ½ hours

*Note: I changed the name of this workshop recently from Anti-Aging Workshop to Positive-Aging Workshop after realizing that anti-aging is a very negative term. I would get emails and phone calls from groups and corporations asking if I did an Anti-Aging workshop and so I titled it accordingly. However, the truth is that “aging” IS the plan. The only alternative to aging is death; I’m not trying to sound negative here, just stating the truth. Since aging will happen to us, if we are lucky enough to grow older, the plan is to embrace it in a positive way. The plan is to age gracefully as we maintain a healthy body, brain and outlook. Be proud of your age, it is a gift not everyone receives.

Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
The Secret to Living a More Fulfilling Life
Life in the 21st century can leave us feeling overwhelmed and out of touch with what it is that we need to regain control in our life. At this seminar, we will explore the philosophy expressed in Deepak Chopra’s bestseller and learn how to implement these laws into our daily lives and step away from the busy-ness of our days.
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success offer an opportunity to walk through your life in a more meaningful way by inserting meaning into the moments. These non-secular laws teach us that happiness, harmony, and abundance are available if you are willing to embrace a consciousness-based approach to your life. Incorporating these principles will lead to a life of fulfillment, evolution, and transformation.
The Seven Spiritual Laws:
- The Law of Pure Potentiality
- The Law of Giving & Receiving
- The Law of Karma or Action
- The Law of Least Effort (my favorite)
- The Law of Intention & Desire
- The Law of Detachment
- The Law of Dharma or Purpose
Slow it all down and find a way to embrace your walk through life.
- Workshop format – 1 ½ hours
- Seminar format- 1 hour with optional Q&A afterwards
This can also be shared as a weekly program: One hour session meeting once a week for seven weeks to set your focus on one “Law” to practice and explore. Great for Yoga Studios, Health & Wellness Centers, Spas and Integrative practitioner’s offices.
