Exploring the Energy Dimension

Date(s): New dates to be deterimined

The human energy field is an aspect of each of us that affects everything we do. Long held to be an actual physical fact in eastern culture, most people in the western world are just beginning to notice this subtle dimension of reality. In this workshop we will explore the incredible realm of energy and how we can use this knowledge to make our lives easier as well as more manageable, interesting, and joyful.

After first examining a growing body of scientific studies that shed light on this elusive subject, this workshop will teach the practical application of this knowledge through various modalities and exercises. Using many different techniques we will learn to see, feel, and manage our own personal energy. We will learn the art of centering and grounding that increases our sensitivity to energy and allows us to enter the energy dimension itself. We will learn how to stay neutral in the presence of negative energy and how to transform hostile energy into something more harmonious. As we learn how to manage our own energy in relation to that around us, we can begin understanding how to make the shifts necessary to bring more love, joy, and creativity into our lives.

About the Facilitator

Picture of Crane

Beverly Crane has a PhD in humanities with subspecialties in psychology and anthropology. Her academic expertise includes training in Jungian, cognitive, and social psychology with postgraduate work in ethno-psychiatry and psycho-synthesis. She is also a nondenominational ordained minister with a counseling concentration.

After she gained research experience at Harvard University and teaching experiences at universities and educational institutions in both the United States and Europe, a life-threatening illness redirected Beverly’s life toward exploring the relationship between psychology, spirituality, and healing. This exploration eventually led to the development of Transformational Expansion, a positive, holistic, client-oriented approach to personal and spiritual growth that emphasizes the development of inner guidance, co-creation, and personal empowerment.

In private practice since 1992, she uses techniques from many different psychotherapeutic modalities as well as her own personal experience to help people see their problems and crises as opportunities for adventures in self-transformation.
