Breakout #5: Body Symptoms

Resolving distressing body symptoms using Logosynthesis.

Ulrike Scheuermann

In this presentation, you will apply Logosynthesis to a body symptom that is bothering you at the moment or in the long term. Body symptoms can include pain, skin rash, itching, shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea or dizziness.  In this case, we address the body symptom as a trigger and not as a reaction to a trigger and resolve your reactions so that you are less stressed by the symptom and can experience it in a more relaxed way. This allows you to focus your attention on other things again and frees up energy for your body's healing process.

From this experience, you can immediately use Logosynthesis for self-coaching at home to relieve suffering. You will also work with a specific personal note-taking strategy to approach the topic and integrate it afterwards. There will be opportunity to discuss your experiences, thoughts and questions.

Breakout #7: Animals

Mustang Mapping: Logosynthesis with Animals

Dörte Möller

When working with horses it is all about energy. They react purely and instantly to the energy with which you approach them. If you are stressed, they are too. If you feel anxiety, they do too. And then there are traumatized horses that suffer due to former abuse.

So, in in this presentation you will learn about how and why I got the idea to try Logosynthesis with my (traumatized) Mustang, how it worked and why Logosynthesis works with animals. You will be offered ideas on what topics can be addressed and which Logosynthesis protocols are good to use with your own animals..

Breakout #11: Adapting to Life

Adapting to Limitations in Functioning from Injury, Aging or Burnout.
Phillippe Isler

Many people struggle to adapt changes in their functional capacity – limitations - compared to what they used to be able to do, that cause them a significant amount of stress and suffering. These changes can be caused by physical injury, illness, burnout / adrenal fatigue, and/or aging. People experience these changes, these limitations, as a loss and suffer a great deal of emotional and psychological stress. Approaching this as grieving a loss, Logosynthesis is an invaluable tool to help people move away from being in conflict with themselves and with reality, and with their attachments to ideas and beliefs about themselves and their lives, and move towards a healthy adjustment, harmony and alignment with themselves.

Philippe Isler is a licensed psychologist with over 25 years experience in private practice, and a certified Master Practitioner and Logosynthesis Trainer. He has been using Logosynthesis as an integral part of his practice for almost 15 years.

Breakout #12: Facing Fear

Increasing Inner Freedom Using Logosynthesis
Karin Athanasiou

True freedom can only ever be inner freedom. If you have a fear of failure, confrontation or abandonment, you will likely avoid certain situations in life that trigger that fear. By avoiding those situations, you might feel free for a while. However, true freedom can only arise when a person is able to choose to act, confront, or face rejection because they can regulate their fear. Generally, inner freedom arises when a person is able to pause between stimulus and response because and consciously choose the next best step for a given situation.

In this presentation, you will learn how Logosynthesis offers a powerful method that helps you increase your inner freedom. You will also participate in a live demonstration where you can work on a trigger of your own and experience the effects of Logosynthesis.

Resolving energy blocks with Logosynthesis

How can we clear the way of our life path and move forward with more ease and flow? To do this means identifying where we are stuck and exploring what is holding us back. As a coach, Heather uses mapping combined with Logosynthesis to explore what is getting in the way of our goals and life aspirations. Resolving frozen energy enables our goals to be reached and new goals to emerge when the path ahead has been cleared.

In this presentation, Heather will demonstrate how to use a simple mapping technique and how to apply the Logosynthesis sentences. During the session you will be able to try this out for yourself with your own issue.
