The Power of the Observer Mind Training: Energy Expansion

Robert Dousa

Training Description

One of the most significant challenges for clinicians these days is to effectively engage patients and clients away from the use of substances and process addiction behaviors into constructive, transformational behaviors that are sustainable, and lead to healthy community engagement.

This is Part II in exploring how to expand our own energy by removing the trappings of our personal mind’s perceptions, and experience what it is like to be seated in our consciousness as illustrated in Michael Singer’s books, “The Untethered Soul” and “Living from a Place of Surrender”. Utilizing the methods outlined by this author will empower us to deepen our effectiveness with system-involved youth and their families to support people towards healthier lifestyles.

Learning Objectives

• Participants will explore how to establish energy healing techniques that minimize vicarious trauma to maintain the optimum mindset when supporting clients to better choices.
• Participants will explore trauma releasing techniques from Michael Singer’s book, “Living from a Place of Surrender” as a therapeutic support strategy for helping individuals to change problematic habitual and addictive behaviors.
• Participants will learn energy expansion techniques and experience what it is like to be seated in our consciousness as illustrated in Michael Singer’s book, “The Untethered Soul”.
