Portwood Institute for
Art & Healing
The Portwood Institute for Art and Healing (PIAH) is located 7/8 mile east of the four corners in Okemos, Michigan. PIAH is situated among the pines on an acre of land expanding to the gentle slopes of Tacoma Hills Natural Area and walking paths. Your visit and stay at PIAH can provide you with relaxation and stress reduction when a longer vacation is not possible.

- The Healing Codes:
The Healing Codes activate a physical function built into the
body
that consistently and predictably removes the #1 cause of
illness and
disease from the body . . . stress. A key point to remember is
that our
bodies are designed to maintain homeostasis! Every time we have a
health problem, we should be asking, “What stress is causing this and
how can I eliminate it?”
According to Stanford University Medical School, and numerous health experts, the number one killer on the planet is stress. Most physical and nonphysical health problems have long-term, physiological stress as their origin. Every time we have a health problem, we should be asking, “What stress is causing this and how can I eliminate it?” Bruce Lipton explains that if the body stays in this state long enough, illness and disease are likely to follow. This is the process that creates 95% of disease and illness.
The healing centers of The Healing Codes appear to function like a hidden ignition switch, that, once engaged, will allow healing of almost anything. They do this by removing the stress from the body, thus allowing the psycho-neuro immune system to take over its job of healing whatever is wrong in the body.
"We're beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure," he says. "As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier … in medicine is energy medicine. It's not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It's not the chemistry of our body. It's understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel." ~ Dr. Oz
You are in charge when you receive a Healing Code from me. Once you have your code then you perform it for the length of time it has been assigned, usually 7-10 days.
