Lecture 1: From the Heart - Creating the 60-Second Body/Mind Connection
Love, caring, anger, irritation and other emotional states have either a very positive or negative effect on the body and the immune system. Low-level daily stress produces immense biological changes that are linked to many of the problems we suffer from such as high blood pressure, allergies, diabetes, and cancer. Cortisol (made by the adrenal glands) is responsible for damaging the intestinal lining, tightening neck and back muscles and contributing to illness. Patrick will demonstrate how to open yourself to healing energy and allow Heart Energy to connect body and mind and to serve as your day-to-day guide. To establish this connection takes just about 60-seconds. Once you have made the connection Patrick will share simple food, acupoints, and herbal formulas to sustain a healthy flow of Love Energy that will help you maintain it.

Lecture 2: Alternative Medicine in Practice
See how you can use alternative practices to assess both body and mind. Treatment formulas will be constructed based on the Fundamentals of Health. Understanding day-to-day experiences such as thinking, breathing, movement, diet, sleep, and relationships can free yourself of needless pain and suffering and lay the foundation for a true preventive health program.
