Greetings!
 There's magic in the air! For me,
the magic of igniting possibilities is showing up each day --many of
these sparked at conference in June through connections with
friends--new and known. I trust you, too, are basking in
the pleasure of your own brand of magic and a lovely
summertime wherever you are.
Speaking of conference, our Board of Directors, President, Charley
Tart, Program Chair, Scott Anderson and his stellar Committee, our
amazing Presenters, our generous Partners, our
illustrious-industrious-creative Staff and marvelous Key Volunteer
Staff all played huge roles in visioning and directing the rhythm,
splendor and aplomb enjoyed this year.
Those who gathered from all over the world to learn and grow were the
icing on our cake. Gratitude and blessings all around!!!
As I recap and finalize the reporting, I'm still astounded at the
number and quality of 'moving parts' that synthesized into the 20th
anniversary conference and celebration. Be sure to check
out the photos. For those unable to attend, recordings of the
presentations are available to order online now (see below).
We are honored to welcome Dr. Jacob Liberman as our 2010/2011
President.Dr. Liberman is the author of three books that capture his
life work: 1) Light: Medicine of the Future, which established him as
an authority in the field of light and color therapy; 2) Take Off
Your Glasses and See, offering a radically new approach to restoring
and enhancing one's vision naturally ((inspired by the miraculous
healing of his own vision), and 3) Wisdom From an Empty Mind, essays
on light, vision and consciousness. All three have received
international acclaim and been published in multiple languages.
Jacob is internationally known as an inventor and researcher who has
made significant contributions to phototherapy and pioneering
discoveries in vision science. His work has been enthusiastically
endorsed by luminaries in the fields of science, medicine,
consciousness, and professional sports.
We begin accepting Letters of Intent for presentations at the 2011
conference, Light, Vision & Consciousness next week. This
theme, for which the 'vibrations' are already building, has attracted
several engaging core presenters already. Check back often for
updates to the growing lineup.
Moving along lightly,

 Earthing:
The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? by Clinton Ober, Stephen Sinatra,
The solution for chronic inflammation, regarded as the cause of most
common modern diseases, has been identified! And it is not
blueberries. It is something right beneath our feet - the Earth
itself!
Throughout
most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground,
largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless
healing energy. Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing
electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning.
Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal
that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make
our bodies work-just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes
it light up. Modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of
insulative rubber or plastic-soled shoes, has disconnected us from
this energy and, of course, we no longer sleep on the ground as we
did in times past.
Earthing
introduces the planet's powerful, amazing, and overlooked natural
healing energy and how people anywhere can readily connect to it.
This eye-opening book describes how the physical disconnect with the
Earth creates abnormal physiology and contributes to inflammation,
pain, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep. By reconnecting to the Earth,
symptoms are rapidly relieved and even eliminated and recovery from
surgery, injury, and athletic overexertion is accelerated.
This
never-before-told story-filled with fascinating research and
real-life testimonials- chronicles a discovery with the potential to
create a global health revolution.
The Mind Body Code:
How the Mind Wounds and Heals the Body
by Mario Martinez
Discover the Secret to Personal Excellence Hidden in Your
"Mind-Body Code". You may know that your mind influences
your health-but what's influencing your mind? Until you answer this
question, you may be overlooking a key factor on the path to personal
excellence. On The Mind-Body Code, pioneering neuropsychologist Dr.
Mario Martinez invites you to discover the dynamic interplay between
your thoughts, body, and cultural history to master the creation of
wellness and fulfillment.
Biocognitive Theory: A New Model of Health and Well-Being. Why do
some people live well past the age of 100, without ever seeing a
doctor? How can certain individuals reverse "incurable"
disease, while others carry burdens of childhood wounds despite years
of therapy? Dr. Martinez' Biocognitive Theory synthesizes insights
from integrated medicine and psychology, cultural anthropology, and
Eastern and Western spirituality to find the answers to such baffling
questions. The Mind-Body Code shows you how to speak the
"biosymbolic language" of this new model of health. Six
sessions of illuminating case studies complemented by relaxing yet
potent mind-body meditations help you balance every facet of your
life, from relationships and aging to abundance and ambitions.
Embrace Your Greatness-and Empower Your Dreams. The first step toward
the health and satisfaction we all desire begins with one act:
allowing yourself to live your greatness. For it is in
reclaiming your natural state of worthiness that you come back to
wholeness and see anew all that is possible for you. With The
Mind-Body Code, you hold a blueprint to rebuild your dreams, and to
take total control of your life's journey.
Program Highlights:
· The five portals of wellness
and the biosymbolic language of your mind-body.
· How to break through your
"ceilings of abundance" by healing archetypal wounds.
· Debunking the myths of aging
with the secrets of the centenarians.
· From fibromyalgia to stigmata-fascinating
descriptions of the power of the mind-body- culture connection.
· Creating the "healing
fields" of honor, commitment, and loyalty.
· The psychology of
forgiveness-and a special guided contemplative practice for liberation
from self-entrapment.
· Six CDs of insights and
exercises with the founder of Biocognitive Theory

Life Force, The Scientific Basis: Breakthrough
Physics of Energy Medicine, Healing, Chi and Quantum Consciousness by Claude Swanson, Ph.D.
This book focuses on the energy behind these strange phenomena. They
occur when this energy is built up in the body, often by special
meditation and breathing techniques. It is used by healers and shamen
around the world. In recent Laboratory tests it has been shown to
alter the physics of every other known force, leading to measurable
effects which have made it possible to understand this mysterious
force scientifically. Russian scientists have developed a rigorous
theory for this force, calling it TORSION. Patents, Equations and
Devices have been developed using this new science.
This is leading to a breakthrough in our understanding of energy
healing as well as physics of consciousness. This is a genuine and
far reaching scientific revolution. In these two books, Dr. lays out
the extensive evidence, including thousands of references, hundreds
of graphs, and the stories behind them which explain how this force
works.
The author, Dr. Claude Swanson, is an MIT and Princeton educated
physicist. Dr. Claude Swanson, has put together the "best
evidence" showing that our present scientific paradigm is
broken. He describes scientifically controlled remote viewing and ESP
experiments, demonstrations of long-range healing, psychokinesis
(mind over matter), scientifically controlled experiments in
levitation, teleportation and out of body phenomena (OBE). In
addition he discusses research in energy healing, showing how results
are achieved over great distances, and can even project forward and
backward in time. He describes experiments in which this energy
alters radioactive decay, bends laser beams, and alters material
properties. It even changes mass, weight and density of materials,
effects which are supposed to be "impossible" according to
Western science.

Live Your Bliss: Practices that Produce Happiness and Prosperity
by Terry Cole Whittaker
I actually decided to do the practices after reading each of the
eight chapters. The book title promotes, almost promises the reader,
happiness and prosperity so why not do the suggested work to bring
about such a state? For that matter, why buy the book unless you're
already serious about making a change for the better? So, I
diligently embarked on TCW's journey with an open mind and heart. I
do believe the world would be a better place if we all lived our
bliss. The key idea to TCW's book is "Act as if you are as you
desire to be, and you will be." Sounds very simple and
straightforward. Reflecting back on my execution of the practices,
the book helped me more clearly define who I desire to be. The
practices enabled me to raise awareness of my thoughts and actions. I
was able to take notice of and question the instances when I may or
may not have been acting in alignment with my higher purpose. The
suggested mantras at the end of each chapter were very helpful. For
example, "IT is perfectly right for me to prosper doing work I
enjoy." That may be a life changing thought to many people. Or,
"This is my life to live as I choose." On a secondary note,
this book can help you change any negative self-talk into
self-affirming, positive chatter. This books takes the
reader/practitioner on a very enjoyable journey. One of the
suggestions I liked the most was the power of keeping our dreams and
goals secret. By keeping some of our dreams to ourselves we control
their power to manifest by refusing to allow other people's doubts or
negativity into our world. Quoting TCW, "Remember, you and I are
the bliss of the universe; this is our only work, our only function
and our only purpose." Live in bliss. Make your world a better
place. (BTW, yes, I am happier and prospering!)

Sunday,
August 15 - Tuesday, August 17, 2010
Albuquerque, NM
The most advanced
scientific view has found that in the sub-atomic realm, there are no
longer any things: there is only a dynamic flux of process and
relationship. This was an astonishing discovery, but it was not
new. Indigenous people for millennia have seen the cosmos as a
place of kinship - a place of harmony and beauty. Come join us
as we explore the beginnings of a new language - a language that is
now emerging through dialogues with Native elders, quantum physicists
and other Western scientists. Come join us as we explore the
connections between the Quantum realm of Energy and the Indigenous
Spirit realm. More Info
