THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND OUR HEART’S DESIRE:
What Science Tells Us about Creating A More Joyous Life Nancy E. White, Ph.D. Most of us function from chronic emotions and embedded perceptual patterns that, virtually outside our awareness, create the experiences and outcomes of our lives. This story begins in the womb. While the child is developing in the safety of the mother’s uterus it is receiving a preview of its future environment and is being prepared to function in it. The work of Dr. Bruce Lipton, a leading researcher and professor at the Stanford School of Medicine in the field of developmental cell biology, shows that the mother’s continuously held emotions send chemical and electromagnetic messages to the fetus, passing on "information" to the fetus concerning her attitudes toward events happening around her. In response the fetus, accommodating to an expected environment, is setting up programs, both physically and psychologically, that will be a foundation of his or her approach to life. Lipton calls this "Nature's Head Start Program." As we grow and develop, what we make of our experiences produces "life filters" which affect how we create cell tissue and set up neurological, physiological and psychological patterns in the brain/mind/body system. According to leading edge cellular biologists and geneticists the chronic thought patterns and perceptual sets from which we deal with our environment directly affect the activity of our genes. After our prenatal and birth experiences we are likely to move into further stresses that create energetic shutdown: shock, abandonment (or the fear of it), grief, physical injury and other emotional and physical trauma. Over time these energetic shutdowns and the repetition of negative thought patterns are likely to compromise our health and well-being. The good news is that now we are able play an active role in the alteration of these processes. Leading edge cell research has transcended conventional Newtonian physics and is now based upon a Universe created of energy as defined by quantum physics. We now recognize that the body responds to energy signals as well as molecular signals. These findings are relevant for they acknowledge that biological behavior can be controlled by "invisible" energy forces, which includes thought (an electromagnetic field). Several more recently developed therapy modalities may owe their relatively rapid effectiveness to this phenomenon. In this workshop we will be introduced to one of the more recent of these modalities, based upon dynamic images channeled by Dawn Clark, Ph.D. and developed by her into a system of "cellular reformatting." These images elicit energetic responses within us, initiating healing processes in mind, body and soul. In most cases the effects are almost immediate. This modality facilitates the reconnection of energy meridians which, coupled with forgiveness and release, creates a forum for cellular reprogramming and the resolution of core life issues. We will explore these and related ideas to give you a better understanding of the ways our habitual thoughts and feelings contribute to the way our lives unfold. We will show that, by paying attention to what we are feeling and thinking and by utilizing one or more of the modalities that give us a direct route to the sources of those patterns, we can create a life much closer to our heart’s desire.
