Dear Friends, May this find you all well and happy. This is your personal issue of Clarity. For safety, if you would like to subscribe or be removed, send us an email to webmaster@holisticharmony.com Learn how to at a Six-day, live-in Seminar with Robert Elias Najemy In sunny Greece, as well as Law of Attraction techniques from the "Secret", from the author of 24 books and a Life Coach, with 35 years of experience who has worked with over 20,000 people. At the same time, enjoy the Beauty of Greece. Robert has decided to offer his seminars in English and we will start with this one on "Energy Psychology" from Sunday August 10th to Saturday August 16th. See below a detailed description of what we mean by Energy Psychology. Who is Robert Elias Najemy ****************************************** Robert is the author of over 24 books, 600 articles and 400 lectures on Human Harmony recorded on CD and DVD. You can download for free 100's of articles and find wonderful ebooks, guidance, mp3 audio and youtube video lectures and at http://www.HolisticHarmony.com. His books The Psychology of Happiness, Remove Pain with Energy Psychology and six others are available at http://www.amazon.com As a life coach with 35 years of experience, has trained over 300 Life coaches and now does so over the Internet. Info at: http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/introholisticcoach.asp He has produced over 500 CD?s and DVD?s with an abundance of information or human harmony. He is not a psychologist, nor a doctor but rather a chemical engineer who gave up his profession 40 years ago in order to study human nature and all aspects of human health, happiness, harmony and spiritual development. He has a certificate in Counseling from the Counseling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (UK) and certificates as a practitioner of three forms of Energy Psychology; specifically Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Tapas Acupuncture Techniques (TAT) and Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Robert has developed a six-year self-knowledge seminar which is taught at his school and has also been recorded and is thus available in other cities. He has trained more than 300 life coaches, 50 of whom now work with him in Athens, Greece and other affiliated centers around Greece and Cyprus. Where will all this take place? What is it like? ****************************************** Robert?s organization, "Harmonious Living" (Armoniki Zoi in Greek), has been active in Greece for the last 32 years. It has created a retreat center in nature, among olive, pistachio, apple and pear trees as well as abundant vineyards. This center, although secluded is only 10 minutes by car from the sea, 15 minutes from the airport and 35 minutes from Athens. This has been haven for meditation, inner peace, self-reflection, inner discovery and learning for 20 years. Thousands have found their physical and emotional health as well as spiritual growth throughout these years. Participants are encouraged but not obliged to participate in morning exercises and meditation. Although we suggest that participants sleep early and get a good rest, we have a number of after dinner activities for those who wish. We also consider dance (optional) and free expression to be an important part of releasing negative energies, contacting our inner self and of course experiencing unity with others. Special adjustments for your combined seminar - vacation. ****************************************** The center, although secluded, is only 10 minutes by car from the bustling sea resort of "Porto Rafti" with beaches for swimming, restaurants and of course "Greek tavernas" with delicious Greek food. Ordinarily we ask our Greek members not to leave in the premises while doing this inner work, but for the first time, as you will be coming from outside of Greece, we are going to wave this limitation so that, those of you would like to, can combine this with a vacation in Greece. For the same reason, we have adjusted our program for that purpose. You are, however, welcome to remain in the retreat center and enjoy the peace of being alone, healing your self, looking within and making life decisions. In addition to your room, there are places to be alone, such a small chapel and a Pavilion on the hill as well as a meditation room deep in the ground. Note: Our center does not allow alcohol, meat, poultry, fish or drugs on the premises. Those of you who are accustomed to these will be able to find them (except drugs) in the evening in "Porto Rafti". Smoking is not allowed in the rooms but there are areas specially designated for smoking about 50 meters from the buildings. ****************************************** How will this benefit you? Why attend? ****************************************** Below you will read details about Energy Psychology. You will be given links that will explain further each technique. Also you can learn much from Robert?s book or ebook FREE TO BE HAPPY WITH ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY. This seminar will introduce you to this array of methods that you can employ on yourself in order to free yourself from undesired emotions, addictions, fears or even some physical problems. You will also learn how to help others with these same techniques. It will be an opportunity to work on your own issues, while at the same time becoming more efficient in helping those around you. You can also choose this opportunity to enjoy the Greece islands before of after the seminar. What will you learn? What is Energy Psychology? ****************************************** In the last 35 years a number of new forms of psychotherapy have become very popular among psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors and many other professionals and even non-professionals who work with human emotional, mental, physical and spiritual harmony. Just a few of these methods are: TFT - Thought Field Therapy EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques BSFF - Be Set Free Fast TAT - Tapas Acupressure Technique EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. WHEE - Wholistic Hybrid of EFT and EMDR Sedona Method Freeze Frame - from the Hearth Math Institute Ho?oponopono - from the Spiritual teachers of Hawaii These methods generically are called "Energy Psychology" and regardless of their different approaches have some of the following aspects in common. Note: For the purpose of this explanation, I will be avoiding using the words patient or client, and will refer to the person receiving emotional, mental, physical or spiritual support as the "recipient". For some of you that will mean your patient, your client, your friend or relative or your self. 1. These methods, as a rule, generate quicker and often deeper results than classical psychotherapy, based solely on discussion and analysis. 2. Most can be employed by the recipient, offering temporary, and in many cases, permanent freedom from disturbing thoughts, emotions and their psychosomatic effects on his or her body and life. 3. Analysis and discussion are, of course, used initially in order to identify the present and past stimuli, events, situations, thoughts, beliefs and emotions that are causing the person?s present discomfort. 4. We then explain what we will be doing and why and what the recipients role and responsibility are in this process. 5. We explain the concept of SUD - Subject Units of Disturbance, in which the recipient is asked to focus on the emotional or physical disturbance and evaluate it from 0 to 10, where 0 means there is no disturbance at all and 10 means that it is extremely high. In this way, we develop the ability to objectivify the disturbance as something separate from ourselves and have a sense of how much in increases or decreases or whether the problem exists at all. 6. In most methods the first step is to help the recipient accept whatever he or she is feeling. Acceptance is basic for freeing up the energy for change. Some methods incorporate an affirmation such as "even though I have this (__________ specific emotion or problem), I love and accept myself." This is done because recipients may feel ashamed or angry at themselves for the feelings they have. Some tend to suppress or ignore their emotions. All energy psychology methods are based on the first step of coming into direct contact with emotional disturbance, accepting that it exists and then working with directly with it as an energy pattern in our energy system. This directly refutes the fears that such methods, might cover up emotions or divert us form them. The opposite happens. The individual is asked to focus as much as possible on the emotion or disturbance in the present moment. The same technique used in the therapy session can be used by the individual alone at home or other environments. 7. The second step is to be willing to let go of the emotion or disturbance. This is not always the case. Many recipients have a subconscious need to hold on to the pain, anger or problem for various reasons that are discussed in detail in the book Free To be Happy with Energy Psychology. 8. Having established at least a partial understanding and acceptance of what we feel and also of ourselves as the creators and owners of those emotions, and a willingness to also let go of what we are feeling, we are ready for the next steps. (Notice that a willingness to let go does not mean to ignore, hate, reject, fight or destroy what we feel, but simply to let it go - as we let go of an object we are holding in our hands. We stop holding on to it.) 9. We then focus directly on the emotional or physical disturbance created by that "learned reaction" to that particular stimulus, such as an event, an interaction, a situation, an idea or even a thought in our mind about the past or future. It might even be the result of chemical or hormonal changes. We can imagine that each particular emotion or state of mind is a habituated "energy structure", which was learned in the past and reproduces itself whenever our older programmed brain synapses are activated creating the message that we are in "danger". In spite of our conscious beliefs, logic and wisdom, we are forced by these habituated energy fields created by our outdated, but certainly active, programmings, to feel anxiety, fear, hurt, anger, guilt and the repercussions of these emotional disturbances on our bodies, minds, relationships and happiness. This is especially true when we subconsciously or consciously believe that our security, self-worth, freedom or pleasures are in danger. 10. The next step is to do something that changes our energy state while we are focused on the particular emotion, disturbance, physical pain or discomfort, desire or belief. This is done in various ways, depending on the particular technique and also the various versions of each technique. Below are some of the possibilities that can be employed alone and also in combination with the others. When any of the below mentioned techniques successfully change our emotional state in relationship to specific stimulus, that then changes how we react emotionally, chemically, hormonally and electronically to that specific situation. This means that our hypothalamus excretes different peptides and our brain creates new neuro-net synapses in relation to the same stimuli, which until now disturbed us. When this is done a number of times, this new more positive perception and reaction become our new norm. Here are some of the ways in which we can change the energy while focused on that, which bothers us. a. Tapping on specific acupuncture points on the head, face, fingers and upper chest that cause a movement and alteration of the present energy structure we are focused on. The habituated energy structure is forced to change because of the movement in energy caused by the tapping on these specific points. This is used specifically in the methods TFT, EFT, BSFF and WHEE. b. Placing our hands in a focused way on certain acupuncture points and energy centers also causes energy flow and a change in our energy state and emotions. This is used in the TAT method and can be in the Sedona Method. c. Moving the eyes to the right and left or tapping on the right and left sides of the body can have the same effect. Used in EFT, EMDR and WHEE. d. Breathing with a specific focus creates a similar result. (Freeze Frame, Ho?oponopono, Sedona.) e. Changing our emotional state and heart rhythms by focusing on someone or something we love or feel gratitude towards also creates a change in our energy structure. (Freeze Frame, Ho?oponopono and Sedona.) f. Bringing to mind or verbally expressing affirmations and alternative perceptions of the stimulus that is disturbing us can also change our state. This can also be done in combination with tapping or rubbing cer tain points or holding our hands over certain energy centers. (All of the above mentioned systems include this as an alternative.) g. Simply letting go of what we feel as well as the needs that create our feelings is used in the Sedona Method and Ho?oponopono. h. Positive visualization of how we would like to be and react towards certain situations can be used in conjunction with any of the above - usually after the emotional disturbance has been reduced or eliminated. 11. The next step for some of these methods is to now, having reduced or eliminated the old energy response, to program a new one. This is called Reprocessing in the EMDR and WHEE methods, and Choices in EFT. It is also used in TAT and Sedona. In this stage we now seek to introduce a new way of perceiving that, which until now was disturbing us. This is the essence of human harmony, maturity and evolution - the ability to allow our perceptions of ourselves, others and life itself change and evolve. With these forms of energy psychology we enable ourselves and our recipients to dissolve the old faulty energy fields so that we are now free to install our new updated version of reality on the hard drive of our mind. 12. Attempts to reprogram the mind solely with analysis and discussion is slow and limited and is much like recording a new song on an old cassette without erasing the previous recorded one. When we play the cassette (the mind chatter) we hear both songs (new and old). With energy psychology we are able to first erase the old songs before we record the new ones. All of these methods can be combined with each other and all other forms of psychological, mental and spiritual support including analysis, cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, psychodrama, gestalt, dream analysis, regressions to the past, hypnosis and spiritual study as well as all forms of energy work such as massage, physical therapy, reiki, spiritual healing an reconnection. In addition many thousands of doctors and psychiatrists around the world are now using them in their healing practices, as you can verify at the following internet addresses. Here are some web addresses for further investigation of these methods.

WHEE - Wholistic Hybrid of EFT and EMDR (http://www.wholistichealingresearch.com/selfhealingwheeandother.html Sedona Method (From Lester Levenston and Hale Dwoskin) (http://www.sedona.com/) Freeze Frame (From the Hearth Math Institute) (http://www.heartmath.org/) Ho?oponopono (From the Spiritual teachers of Hawaii) (http://www.hooponoponotheamericas.org/index.htm) More details ****************************************** Your Room: The rooms are double occupancy but can fit a third person in our bunk beds. Each room has one double bed on the upper level (loft) and bunk bed below. We can offer single rooms only when there is enough space. Each room has its own toilet and shower as well as a small kitchen with fridge. Each room has air conditioning and also a ceiling fan. In general the rooms do not have TV?s (for deeper inner work) but we can provide one if you let us know before you come. Although the rooms are double occupancy they have the advantage of one person sleeping on an upper level and the other below. We will also seek to accommodate those who need a single room. We also have smaller rooms with external bath at a reduced rate. These rooms as well as a few of the double occupancy rooms are in the building «Agapi» (Love) which is an 8 minute walk from our main bulling called «Armonia» (Harmony) where the classes, meals and other activities take place. You can get a look at the rooms, the area and a map to show the taxi driver at: http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/myrrinounda/ Your Offerings: We have a policy of keeping our rates low in order to not exclude anyone from benefiting physically, emotional or spiritually from what we have to offer. In general the offerings we suggest are much lower than the going rate for the high quality of seminars that we offer. On the other hand we need to cover our ever increasing expenses. Rooms The suggested offerings for the double occupancy rooms are 30 euros / night / person ($ 46 USA) For Sunday to Saturday = 6 x 30 = 180 euros or 276 $ (Saturday (before) night or Sunday (after) night would an extra 30 euros) Those requiring a single occupancy room would be offering 300 E or $ 465 for the six nights. Teaching The offering for the teaching is only 500 euros or $ 775 for six days !!!! Meals The offerings for the vegetarian meals are a. for breakfast = 6 E or $ 9 and b. for lunches and / or dinners (some of the vegetables and fruit from our Garden) = 9 E or $ 14 Thus of you eat 3 meals a day for six days it would be 144 euros or $ 224 for the week (18 meals). The Total The approximate suggested offering for the 6 nights stay (double occupancy), 6 day seminar and 18 meals would be only 824 euros or $ 1275. (For single occupancy it would be 944 E or $ 1464.) Possible Scholarships Those coming from countries where earning power is much less, can contact us to see if we can manage a type of scholarship. Also those of you willing to help those from such countries with an extra donation are welcome to let us know. ****************************************** The Program ****************************************** 7:30 Short Yoga session (optional) 8:10 Meditation (optional) 8:30 to 9:00 Breakfast 9:30 - 1:00 Seminar with a 20 minute break 1:00 to 1:30 lunch 1:30 to 3:30 rest period - we suggest a nap - it is hot outside. 3:30 to 6:00 Seminar 6:00 Free time (You have time to swim, relax, walk, read, communicate, rest, meditate, go out to eat.) 8:00 to 8:30 Dinner for those who inform us that they will be eating with us. 9:30 Evening activities (optional for who declare their interest.)

We can supply transportation to «Porto Rafti» at 6:15 pm and back at 9:45 pm each day. Otherwise you can rent car and move around more freely. You may also want to arrange to rent a car after the seminar, in order to travel on the Greek mainland, or even better on the islands. (Although most islands do not require a car. You can get around with a taxi when you get there.) Your Personal Needs. We are not a hotel. We can provide you with a clean room, sheets, pillow cases, towels etc. We will not be cleaning the rooms daily, unless something occurs that requires it. We can change your towels on the third day. Best to bring your own towel for the beach. In the spirit of love and helping you feel comfortable we will seek to satisfy your needs.
