C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.
Retraining The Plastic Brain: Neuroscientists have long maintained that the brain, perhaps more than most organs, is rather fixed in its anatomy and physiology, perhaps ignoring for centuries some critical evidence to the contrary: A 2005 study found that the effects of neuroplasticity were even more rapid than previously expected. Medical students' brains were imaged during the period when they were studying for their exams. In a matter of months, the students' gray matter increased significantly in the posterior and lateral parietal cortex Draganski et al. "Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Brain Structure Changes during Extensive Learning" The Journal of Neuroscience, June 7, 2006, 26(23):6314-6317
Neuroplasticity challenges the idea that brain functions are fixed in certain locations. Visualizing and tapping are two of the easiest methods for training and repairing the brain. I will focus on tapping 13 specific acupuncture points which reduce free radicals. Application to other approaches will be discussed.

Dolores Cannon
The Three Waves: Dolores has recently discovered three waves of people, “volunteers”, who have come to Earth in the last 50 years to help with the coming changes.

Dowsing – Sacred Geometry in Action! - The principals of Sacred Geometry have been used in dowsing to create different types of pendulums. Those tools based on vibration of shapes are used today to improve the quality of people’s lives, health, finances, and relationships. In this lecture you will learn: Healing Pendulum - what does it mean? How and why Healing Pendulums work? Spiritual Aspect of Pendulums and Dowsing. How to personalize pendulums and which one to choose. Many Kirlian photographs will be presented to prove our point. This lecture is for dowsers on all levels (and other curious minds).

She teaches Dowsing according to Ancient Egyptian and European School of Vibrations around the world. Her classes are always well attended due to unique composition of knowledge, wisdom and incredible sense of humor.
Dreams: Our Inner and Higher Selves Revealed - Dreams are the theater of our sub-conscious and super-conscious mind. They provide guidance that we seek. They give us the means to heal aspects of our wounded self, bringing us closer to our divine selves. The tricky part id to remember them and interpret them correctly, because some dreams are reflections of every day life, some are reflections of repressed aspects of ourselves, and some are information that come from the universe in a symbolic way. In this workshop, I will demonstrate a lively, interactive, personal method of dream interpretation.
Lillian Bern - Arkansas. Lillian is a Holistic Psychotherapist, healer and teacher who for over 36 years has been helping people resolve family issues, dissolve emotional and physical pain, and acquire the tools to create the life of their dreams. Her inspirational, creative approach includes a blend of Psychology, Biology and Spirituality.
Dangers In Your Kitchen and Elsewhere - Chemicals and toxins are everywhere. How can you avoid them? They are in items which we eat, wear, and live in. Although each contact with a particular toxin may be small and/or GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe), they accumulate in the tissues of the body and can produce health problems which the medical community may not be able to identify. In addition, the toxins are of a lower vibration and will make it more difficult for you to raise your frequency. This presentation will discuss some of the toxins of which to be aware.
ALSO: Take Back Your Power - We have been taught many ideas and concepts by parents, teachers, clergy and government. Many people believe what they have been taught without questioning the validity of those concepts, or how those ideas affect their present life. Are there beliefs which no longer serve you? How many activities are there in which you engage which are diversionary? Are you allowing others to take your power? They do not have power over you unless you allow them to do so. So, Take Back Your Power.

This is accomplished by trained conductor-intuitive reporter teams. The results of these reports have been documented and reported in several books. Health Analysis (readings) are done for people all over the world. Whether they are present or not makes no difference in the information and knowledge given.

Remember Who You Are - When IteRa went to Dolores Cannon for “past life” regression, one of her questions was, “What should I do with the Language of Light I speak?” IteRa heard, “Share it with others when the time is right.
