The International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM) is an international non-profit interdisciplinary organization dedicated to exploring and applying subtle energies as they relate to the experience of consciousness, healing, and human potential. ISSSEEM is in a unique position, acting both as a bridge builder between communities and a leader in the field, offering a community with a widespread appreciation of the energetic component within many disciplines including quantum physics, therapeutic modalities, healing, psychology, consciousness, psi and the understanding of our multidimensional existence.

Greetings!

 

Denise Lewis PremschakThis month, you may have been graced to take notice of 1:11 or 11:11 on 1.1.11 or 1.11.11, especially if you have a digital clock!    Who DIDN'T find fascination with these symbolic "doorways" appearing before our eyes??   My own reflection on this playful visual, so aligned with the spirit of possibility inherent in a new year, was gratitude for the precious gift of choice.

 

I am grateful for the choice made at year-end by many community members to give extra financial support in a time of critical need for ISSSEEM.  I am grateful to allied organizations choosing to work toward a more comprehensive model of healthcare and awareness of subtle energies' healing power for everyone.  I am grateful for people like Darin (see spotlight below) who bring both spirit and ideals to the mighty work that requires so many hands and hearts.  I am grateful for the leaders responsible for choosing how the brightest of possible futures will unfold for the ISSSEEM.  And I am grateful to be part of a community of healers, teachers, researchers, and explorers who choose to lead their lives from a place of sacred interconnectedness.

 

What distinguishes us from all other forms of life is the capacity to weigh options, tune to guidance, and make conscious, deliberate choices.   With more doorways than ever showing up in front of us, we're being invited to make thoughtful choices that will lead to new actions and new outcomes.

 

Just what is behind door number 1, 2 or 3? Stay tuned.  

 

"Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions."    

Albert Einstein, ya gotta love him!
 

 

Blesses,

 

Denise

ISSSEEM thrives on the enthusiasm and support of its members and volunteers. We value and appreciate each and everyone who lends a helping hand. The significant contributions of our volunteer staff are essential for  smooth operation and continued success.

 

Each volunteer has their own story to tell. This month I would like to introduce you to Darin Stahl.  

 

Darin StahlThrough a friend, supportive of my bodywork practice, I was invited to the Council Grove Conference for the first time in March of 2009.  It was a life-changing experience all around! There, I delivered a session on Biodynamic Cranial Touch (a heart based Cranial practice), met Denise Lewis Premschak and Scott Anderson and learned of ISSSEEM.   The information exchange and interaction with the CG community was amazing.  Then, I was asked to serve on the Program Committee for the June 2010 ISSSEEM conference.  I loved exchanging ideas and working with the amazing people on the committee toward such a phenomenal event! 

 

I currently serve as a member of the Program Committee for 2011 and have taken an active role in discussions with leadership around the future of ISSSEEM.  A few of the points made in these discussions were:   1) ISSSEEM's worldview is one of the things that makes us unique.  2) A Good Theory is one that supports the evidence.  3) A Bad Theory is one that supports some of the evidence but not all of the evidence.  3) An Outrageous Theory is one that supports none of the evidence.  A Bad theory is one that doesn't take consciousness into account, in my opinion;  it could be downright Outrageous! 

 

Those who love this organization realize the importance of its mission .  Voicing our theories and opinions is very important and ISSSEEM is a premier forum through which a consciousness-based view of the universe can be shared with the world - an optimistic and inclusive worldview, with science to back it up. And that is not just worth sharing and supporting-it's time we roll up our sleeves and throw some punches!

 

Darin Stahl is a martial artist, body worker, licensed massage therapist and subtle energy practitioner.  Darin has created a unique approach to homeostasis, combining modalities that address the physical, subtle, and causal energy bodies.  He began studying bodywork at an early age learning palpation and Osteopathic manipulation from his father.  But it was the Burmese martial art of Bando and the healing systems it contained that brought Darin back to his roots.

White silk

White Silk, Dark Chocolate, and a Little Bit of Magic: Life is good and we are good in it

by Barbara Herrick

 

In a few years, over 37 million women born during the baby boom will be 50 or older. Their new. post-feminist motto might well be:


 


 

We have places to go that require a wilderness of spirit - and shoes to match.


 

It may not be easy to grow older in this country, but any woman in her 'glory years' will tell you that age isn't what it used to be. It is a time of fullness and empowerment. It is a time to throw off restraint and celebrate life with the 'don't-give-a-damn' attitude that defines a generation. Age is freedom calibrated by experience - wisdom unleashed by wit.
 

"We enter our glory years full-tilt, our heads and hearts high. Our midyears are when we finally find our place and our peace, when we are powerful, when we are well and well-rewarded, when we're the best at what we do, when we discover that life is good, and we are good in it."


 

Embrace the age of adventure, this bold little book is the ideal gift for any occasion in a mature woman's life.

wake up







Wake Up - the film


 

Jonas Elrod was leading an ordinary life until he woke up one day to a totally new reality. He suddenly could see and hear angels, demons, auras and ghosts.


 

The documentary movie WAKE UP follows this fascinating story of an average guy who inexplicably developed the ability to access other dimensions. Physicians gave him a clean bill of health and were unable to provide an explanation. What was it? Why was it happening to him? One thing was certain for this 36-year old man - life as he had known it would never be the same.
 

With his loving but skeptical girlfriend by his side, Jonas crisscrosses the country as he searches for answers and delves deeper into this thrilling world of the phenomenal and spiritual. Along the way, he encounters an amazing group of religious teachers, scientists, mystics and spiritual healers who help him piece together this intricate puzzle.


 

The film shows how all of us can search inward for our own peace and happiness while contributing towards a positive shift in global consciousness. WAKE UP is a call to consciousness to everyone who sees it; an invitation to accept that there is more to this life than meets the eye.

2011 Conference
 
The 2011 conference will feature philosophical, scientific, and practical applications of light, vision and consciousness for our personal lives as well as our healing practices. The terms Light, Vision & Consciousness may each be descriptors for one vast phenomenon. The triad is most certainly reflective of the heart of ISSSEEM, the Societies mission, values and purpose.
