Greetings!


Greetings ISSSEEM Community!  
 
Truth be told, there's little time to spare for anything other that the unfurling of the 'banner' conference coming up, so instead of writing a note, I decided to share this article with you, recently published in the Ode Magazine online community Exchange. (check it out here)
 
Science as a Sacred Journey -- Enjoy!


Imagine a world where leaders' decisions are heartfelt and guided by conscious thoughtfulness; a world where societies benefit from intuitive, collective wisdom and where scientific discovery and technological innovation is derived from heart-centered minds. If this vision resonates with your soul, you are not alone. If you are wondering where to meet naturally allied individuals who recognize living subtle energies and desire to reconnect with knowledge that resonates, you are in luck. There exists not only the vision of a world where humanity has returned to their sixth sense, but a global community dedicated to the study of consciousness, healing arts and medicines as well as a more complete expression of our human potential. Modern day authors and visionaries such as Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hanh, Louise Hay, and Pema Chodron bring this vision into printed reality. And an organization called the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSEEEM) brings this community of practitioners and seekers together once a year at a very unique gathering.

For the past nineteen years, ISSEEEM has united healers, teachers, researchers and pioneers seeking to bridge science and spirit. In this one venue, your quest for transformational knowledge and spiritual development can be satisfied. In 2009, the conference theme is Sacred Synthesis: Science with Heart and will be held in beautiful Colorado, June 26-29. Internationally renowned author and teacher, Deepak Chopra will present on the morning of the 29th.

For more information about all of the speakers and topics, visit www.isseeem.org. If you dare to challenge your certainties through the exploration of provocative ideas and if you can see science as a sacred journey, you'll be in good company.                    Mimi Schaeffer, ISSSEEM volunteer

Looking forward to greeting you in person at our conference in June.  The event is bursting at the seams with amazing opportunities for growth -- more coming this week!  Stay tuned for the next conference edition of eSEEM to find out about all the latest additions to the line-up.
 
Blesses,
Denise

News from ISSSEEM Board of Directors & Members


Overheard from Jim Oschman


"I am optimistic about the way the successes of emerging fields of energy medicine, biofield therapies, CAM, and subtle energies will lead to these areas of treatment being more widely appreciated and more widely available in the future.
 
If you want to learn more about the direction all this is headed, there is no better place than the 19th Annual ISSSEEM conference that will take place at the end of June. This gathering includes the widest range of energy practitioners and interested parties that you will find anywhere. On Friday, June 26, there will be a whole day of research presentations and discussions of the kind of science that will be supported by a coming shift in research funding.
 
I hope I will see you at the ISSSEEM meeting. It will vastly enrich your perspective on what is happening in these very important fields."

AHNA - American Holistic Nurses Association
Response to Bishop's Guidelines for Reiki

Reiki Healing

Recently the Committee on Doctrine of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued Guidelines for Evaluating Reiki as an Alternative Therapy.

Many of our AHNA members who practice Reiki or work in institutions utilizing Reiki voiced concerns over this document and its implications for their practice and their organizations. The guidelines concluding statement asserts that:

"Since Reiki therapy is not compatible with Christian teaching or scientific evidence, it would be inappropriate for Catholic institutions, such as Catholic health care facilities and retreat centers, or persons representing the Church such as Catholic
chaplains, to promote or to provide support for Reiki therapy".

Recipe for H1N1 Swine Flu Prevention
Energy Medicine Field Immune System Boost
For Adults and Children


By Eileen Joy Kurlander


Can you believe cells, organs, systems, bacteria, and viruses routinely communicate a natural 'small talk' among themselves?  Science also proves they can respond to messages from outside sources and change themselves and their character as a result.  These latest findings validate the power energy healing has on viruses, systems, organs, cells and bacteria to change to health.  Energy healing, a medicine of Energy and Informational Medicine is a part of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine. 

This NEW recipe is one opportunity to build your own health.

Endless Energy:
The Essential Guide to Energy Health
By Debra Greene, Ph.D.
 

The book is about human energy--where it comes from, where it goes and how to have more of it consistently. It takes the new science of energy medicine, translates it into clear and simple terms, then spells out easy ways to maintain energy health. This is the new Home Health Guide for the 21st Century!

The fields of energy psychology, energy kinesiology, and energy medicine have vastly altered what is known about how we function. But much of this life-altering information has not made it into the mainstream. Endless Energy puts these revolutionary ideas into your hands in easy to understand and practical ways.

Endless Energy:
  • Explains how energy healing works
  • Exposes the unseen energy aspects of illness and disease
  • Ties together diverse healing approaches under one umbrella
  • Describes the four energy bodies that comprise our energy system
  • Provides practical tools to sustain vitality and energy health
  • Addresses how intention and prayer work and why they sometimes don't
  • Discusses the link between energy and information
  • Connects the physical with the nonphysical in a seamless way
  • Positions the energy body within a universal energy framework
  • Explores where consciousness comes from
  • Includes powerful yet simple energy exercises that get results

The Living Universe: Where are we? Who are we? Where are we goin?
by Duane Elgin

Conference09In The Living Universe, Duane Elgin marshals evidence from cosmology, biology, physics, even his participation in NASA-sponsored psychic experiments to show that the universe is actually a living field of existence and that we are always in communion with that field of aliveness whether we are conscious of it or not. This is a worldview that, as Elgin explains, is shared by virtually every spiritual tradition, and the implications of it are vast and deep. In a living system each part is integral to the whole, so each of us is intimately connected to the entire universe. Elgin eloquently demonstrates how that identity manifests itself on a whole series of levels, from subatomic to galactic. We are, he writes, far more than biological beings; we are beings of cosmic connection and dimension.

Excerpt ~
The Universe wants to live and breathe through you. To find out the truth in this, you need to relate to the universe as if it were alive. Otherwise, how will you ever know that it is? Today begin to adopt the following habits:
  • Talk to the universe
  • Listen for its reply
  • Be on intimate terms with nature
  • See the life in everything
  • Carry yourself like a child of the Universe





From Cathy Anderson: a dedicated ISSSEEM Volunteer
This is an excellent book and it is on my re-read list!


Jesus in the Lotus: The Mystical Doorway between
Christianity and Yogic Spirituality

By Russill Paul

Conference09
This brilliant and inspiring book is an antidote to the divisive vectors that currently inflame many religious sects worldwide. While respecting difference and honoring uniqueness, Russell Paul leads the reader to points of contact and harmony between Christianity, Yoga, and Hindu philosophy. Today their is a universal hunger for a new vision that unites and connects us all, without which there may not be a future for humanity. This book is an adamantine gem shedding light on the darkness of divisiveness.



Conference09

"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest
in the laws of the universe-
a spirit vastly superior to that of men."
~Albert Einstein
