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,
Blesses,
Denise

 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!)

Upcoming Events
SEED Graduate Institute Presents A Dialogue Exploring the Nature of Reality from Indigenous
and Western Science Perspectives:
Time Travel
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
