Workshop: Working with Thought Forms in the Mystical World

Overview: Participant’s will learn the mechanics of how our thoughts work, how they shape our reality, how they interact with each other and how they dynamically interact with Mother Earth.

Participants will be taught basic techniques to help them gain control of their thoughts as well as how to work with thought forms to heal themselves and the world. Instruction will be given to help one gain control of their thoughts in their daily lives through practices such as mindfulness and praying ceaselessly and with spiritual exercises such as meditation, as well as supplemental techniques that will facilitate control of the mind. There will be a discussion of the pitfalls of using thought forms for ego or material gain. Instruction will be provided on how thought forms can be used to enhance a space or an object and for working with larger collective thoughts.

The goal is to help participants’ better gain control of their thoughts and use them constructively to spiritually grow, as well understand how our thoughts work. The workshop will be 80% lecture, 20% experiential, consisting of meditation, visualization and praying. There will be discussion of various spiritual exercises (i.e., types of meditation and how they affect the brain), both pros and cons, and suggestions for using them with emphasis on one’s own spiritual program.

Instructor Madis Senner’s approach is based upon Hindu Vedanta that all is Brahman and has consciousness and that our thoughts create our reality. The course will call upon the teachings of the great Hindus mystics such as Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, the Mother as well as Theosophists such as Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater. Much of the course is drawn from Madis’ upcoming book The Way Home—Making Heaven on Earth, due out with O-books in the fall of 2009.

Madis Senner is a former global money manager turned seeker and servant of God who left Wall Street in 1997 to begin a spiritual quest that had him studying and attending services of many of the world’s great faith traditions. His heart is steeped in mysticism and Vedanta. In 2002 he felt called to get people to pray around Onondaga Lake in Syracuse where the Native American Haudenosaunee prophet, the Peacemaker, planted the Tree of Peace. That culminated a few years later with the cataloguing of sacred sites at Mother Earth Prayers, as well as several works such as Gaia’s Soul and Geographic Samskaras. He is currently working on two books one detailing Mother Earth’s subtle body; the other is about working with stone structure to enhance Mother Earth.

 

Reiki II

Our Reiki I program and attunements was very well received last weekend.  The follow-on, Reiki II will also be taught by Isabele Henry.  It is open to anyone who has previously been attuned to Reiki I.  There will also be another Reiki I class in a few months if you missed the last one.

Cost: $100. 

Date:  Sat. Feb. 21, 09

Time: 10 AM till about 3 PM.  Please bring lunch. 

Location:  Gossamer Wood

WELCOME TO BodyTalk ACCESS

 

This powerful version of the Body Talk System is designed to provide Access to the key benefits of BodyTalk to as many people as possible.  It has hundreds of followers already, worldwide.

·        designed for the layperson, family and community

·        stimulating the body's own ability to heal itself

·        providing simple energy based techniques to promote health maintenance and          management of daily health challenges

·        used to assist in restoring mental focus, boosting the immune system, improving posture and incredible in first-aid situations.

 

Health Empowerment in 10 Minutes

       

        BodyTalk Access is designed to be used by any layperson, children, too, or health care provider to bring about significant improvement in health using five simple techniques that can be learned in one day and implemented in 10 minutes. These simple and very effective techniques can be used in emergency situations to stabilize the patient and bring back mental awareness, boost the immune response or as a maintenance program to ensure ongoing health and well being.

       

        BodyTalk Access techniques can be practiced immediately after completion of the course in the home, in schools, hospitals, in emergency response care and more.

 

        BodyTalk Access provides the layperson, family, and community with a simple set of energy -based techniques to make health maintenance and the management of daily health challenges accessible.

 

        The BodyTalk System is a well-established system of health care utilizing state-of-the-art energy medicine in a safe and comprehensive manner. Its power is based on increasing the levels of internal communication within the body - stimulating the body's own ability to regain and maintain a healthy balance.

         

          This workshop is intentionally created for those who don’t wish to go on a BodyTalk career path but who believe in it and want to know how to use a few of its techniques that can help families, friends, and even their own children.

         

          For that purpose, The IBA (International BodyTalk Association) recognized the importance of having to pass on for you a series of 5 general techniques, without having to learn all the pre-requisites to operate a full session of BodyTalk such as kinesiology which allows us therapists to get in connection with your innate healing wisdom.

 

What you'll learn during the workshop

 

1.0  BALANCING YOUR SYSTEMS With BodyTalk Access

1.1    Cortices: The Cortices technique is designed to improve and balance the communication between the two halves of the brain. (It’s like hitting the reset button on your brain’s computer.) Specific immediate effects include improvements in thinking ability, memory, concentration, stress reduction, feelings of well-being, and general physiological functioning of the body.

1.2  Switching: One of the common side effects of stress is the tendency for the mind to go into a “switching” mode - where normal brain coordination is compromised. This can show up as inattentiveness, poor decision-making, confusion, making silly mistakes, poor coordination, and mood swings.  Affected by strobe lights, or any rapidly changing information to any of the five senses.

1.3    Hydration: The body is 70-80% water. All physiological processes in the cells, nerves, organs, and other structures are dependent upon a good supply of water. Even if someone drinks plenty of water, the body may not be utilizing it well. The Hydration technique helps to correct the body’s ability to fully use the water it has available, and to greatly improve the efficiency of all physiological processes.

1.4  Body Chemistry: This amazing technique is designed to stimulate the immune system of the body to address many chronic and acute conditions. Often viruses, bacterial infections, and parasites are not effectively addressed by the body’s immune system because of various imbalances in the body. This technique also helps the immune system address any invading pathologies and remove them quickly.

1.5    Fast Aid Techniques: an effective first aid system that is non-invasive, safe, and very simple. It will resolve simple issues as a stand alone technique. In serious conditions it is designed to be used safely until specialized health care arrives.

 

Date: Feb. 28, 2009

Time: 10 AM to 4 PM

Cost: $75. if registered before Feb. 20, $80. thereafter.  Or register your entire immediate family---all for $140.

Location:  Gossamer Wood

Practitioner:  Bill Dewey



Paraphrased from Dr. Kam Yuen:

Ailment is a Mistaken Identity

Our physical ailments, or what we think of as health related concerns, are never health problems, they are life issues. What we think about our ailment is not what it is!  Wherever we think and feel where the problem is coming from practically in our body and how we think is never where it is coming from, and what it truthfully is. We don’t get this wrong some of the time, we get it wrong every time. This is the leading reason why our ailments do not get resolved. Even the statement that says: Healing takes time.   This is perpetuated as an outward lie, it is absolutely untrue. Healing doesn’t take time and in fact it is not even necessary. We just have to get to the fundamental truths of the negative emotion or memory that affects us, bothers us, troubles us, disturbs us, triggers us and makes us feel dis-eased.
Truths are not assumptions, logic analysis, blood tests, X-rays, MRI, CT Scan or educated guess from your doctors. When we can identify the truth within and outside of us, we can resolve, prevent and stop all of our ailments in their tracks. “The Truth Shall Set You Free!” is always applicable in life. Unfortunately, we hardly ever know the truth, particularly in addressing our life and specifically our health issues. We don’t know the truth even if it jumps up and bite us in the behind. We continue to go on in our daily life thinking and talking the same way about the irresolvable ailments even when there is no truth to it; waiting for the right diagnosis, from our health professional for the right medication, the information for the right supplement or the right prescribed therapy. We are constantly search for what is “right”, essentially the truth. In fact when we reinforce the untruths we make it more difficult to get resolved...



You can recognize a stroke by asking four simple questions:

S Ask the individual to SMILE.
T Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
 (i.e. It is sunny out today.) 
R Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

T Stick out Your TONGUE    If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.  Start tapping the head gently all over, as in BodyTalk Access, “cortices”.

Yes, I have now researched every healthcare website in the world (;-), and finally came to this conclusion:

P.S.  I didn’t believe this either!  Do you?

________________________________________________


For those of you who choose not to have mammograms as often as recommended, we now know of a thermal imaging doctor who travels thru this area every few months.  THERMOGRAPHY uses non-contact imaging of minor temperature differences on the skin, which gives more information, and sooner, than X-rays, for many health conditions.

Contact Dr. Pamela Howard:

athermalimage@gmx.com

Her philosophy of sickness and healing is similar to mine, and she is also an expert on breast health.  Isabele has heard Dr. Pamela Howard speak on thermography.   Let me know if you would like her to come here to talk to Gossamer Wood clients or to scan your breasts or body.

Chapter One:
The Nature of Afterlife

It is not unusual for those who have passed into Afterlife to communicate with those who remain focused on the physical world. This isn't hard to understand if you consider that, at this very moment, a part of your energy, even as you're experiencing physical life, exists in Afterlife and is subject to the laws of Afterlife, as I am now. But because your physical existence is dependent on being focused so intently on physical reality, you convince yourself that this other part of you doesn't exist, merely because you are not conscious of it yet.

Those of us "on the other side" experience things quite differently. We see ourselves as just like you, beings of energy, but we have merely lost our focus on ordinary matter. This does not mean that the world of matter does not exist for us. We just experience it in a different way: your hard reality is like a dream to us, and your dreams and imagination are the interface where we meet and work.

Consider this: only about 5% of the Universe is made up of what is called "ordinary matter." That is the stuff of the hard objects of your body, the table, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, etc. That leaves approximately 95% of the Universe unaccounted for. In my day we called it "ether." Today's scientists call it "dark matter" and "dark energy." Dark matter has no light within it; it can only be detected by its gravitational waves. This is the matter of Afterlife and the energy of consciousness.  (Quantum physicists are having fun with this---its not detectable, yet we know it is there, and it contains the pattern for all objects…hopefully the new Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland will shed some “light” on this.---Bill)

See lots more at her website, above.  And the video clip below, “Life Within a Cell”



Mouse Warriors for health freedom Your actions of voting on the internet have created enough pressure at the unofficial site, www.Change.org/ideas/view/health_freedom to bring Health Freedom to 4th place!  But Wait!  There's More! With that upsurge in public support, the OFFICIAL Obama site, Change.gov, (http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087800000004oSw&srPos=2&srKp=087) has listed Health Freedom as an idea for you to vote on there, too.  Health Freedom is interested in keeping vitamins off the “drug” list, keeping them safe but available, and keeping the FDA away from restricting our freedom to choose healthy foods over adulterated foods.  Please vote there.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Secret of life within the cells:  What's the pattern in the "field" or "matrix" that causes this activity to continue until you die?   Here's a re-run from a previous newsletter, but it's worth reviewing again:

"Life Within a Cell"

This video clip shows life within a mammalian cell.  Everything you see is within a cell and this is what it looks like (artist's conception, based on electron microscopy from Harvard Medical School), as if you were touring inside.  The action you see is controlled by electrical polarizing forces and chemical enzymes, DNA, etc.   The moving things are not powered by muscle cells as this whole thing is within one cell. One of the sections (75% of the way in) is a view of the cell getting rid of waste. 

http://aimediaserver.com/studiodaily/videoplayer/?src=harvard/harvard.swf&width=640&height=520

So, now you know what goes on inside every one of your 60 or 70 trillion cells at the bio-chemical level.   Be nice to them---keep up a healthy lifestyle---your body depends on the cells being healthy.


Ho'oponopono:  The healing words from the Hawaiian Kahuna are: 

 I Love You, I'm sorry, Please Forgive me, Thank You 

Say them to yourself all day long, to everyone you meet (even if only silently), and to your Creator.
