Trauma, Addiction, Intimacy Disorders Conference ... Nashville, TN



Woman Reading
Leon Kamir-Kaufman
1872-1933

All religions , arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
All these aspirations are directed toward enabling man's life,
lifting it from the sphere of more physical existence
and leading the individuals towards freedom.

Albert Einstein 

U.S. Journal Training, Inc. provided an excellent conference in Nashville, Tennessee.  I attended with my daughter and received excellent material from great names such as:  Bessel van der Kolk, Joan Borysenko, Rob Weiss, Christine Courtois, Pat Love, Claudia Black, Pamela Peeke, and Don Meichenbaum Each presenter, well respected in their field, ignited the audience day after day.  It was stimulating to be present in the midst of transitions from what I learned in school and to what is being researched and supported currently.

We were surrounded by authors willing to sign his or her most current books, and materials about treatment centers.  I was delighted to find my interests referenced in discussions:  EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Emotional Freedom Technique, Equine Therapy, and Expressive Art Therapy.  

There are a variety of experts in the field of trauma.  Treatment as a catalyst for change impacts the core issues.  It is a matter in which a person finds rhythm rather than resistance.  Versatility in treatments leaves no one on the outside.  There is something resonating for everyone.  Even drumming and the art of transformation in spiritual recovery helped to untangle the web of healing trauma.

If you are interested in these topics, 'google' any of the names and a world of reference will be presented. Everyone needs an update from time to time, to stretch and to grow, while stretching out dated information.

Asking for Prayers, Energy, and Light



Joyce Marie
College Roommate
Sister of my heart




Friends, energy workers, and all whom I have never met ~
 
On March 10th, 2011, I sent out a desperate request on behalf of my college roommate, Joyce Marie.  She was receiving large doses of chemo to kill leukemia (which was a side effect from medicine she takes for a life threatening blood disease) in preparation for a bone marrow transplant.
 
With deep gratitude I am elated to report that all of you must have responded beyond expectations as her beautiful spirit has survived the first stage of her long journey.  Now after numerous months, she will be able to enter the second stage for the bone marrow transplant. 
 
PLEASE pray, send energy, love, and light, or do whatever it is you do so that Joyce Marie's body will not reject the bone marrow transplant.  PLEASE send support so that she may have the courage and strength to walk this path of healing or to the greater beyond.
 
I am deeply grateful for any kindness you may offer to this dear sister of my heart!
 
                                       I sincerely thank you!
