ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF HYPNOSIS
Taking Conrol of Your World One Step at a Time
LIMBIC RESONANCE:
We Become What We Love
We invite you to join us in a discussion about the innate physiology of love, attraction and how our emotional intelligence shapes our lives. Based on the theory of Triune brain, research finds that the mammalian brain has a capacity to speak a non-verbal language  that transmits and understands “echoes” of emotion in an adaptive function. This adaptive function is called Limbic Resonance: an unspoken harmony of the heart that resonates between two individuals as their eyes meet. Limbic resonance draws us into emotional congruence with those around us and is an integral aspect of physiology that influences our behavior. This aspect of the mammalian brain is thought to be responsible for the phenomenon of love at first sight and is said to influence our choices in friends and mates, continually affecting with whom and how we behave around others according to our emotional intelligence regarding intimacy. Have you ever wondered why you seem to attract the same type of partner over and over? Have you ever wondered why you always seem to lose your pervasive grace around that one relative that calls you klutzy Claire? Join us today, you may find out just what makes you tick!

Machelle Miller is a student and professional of human behavior. Her favorite question is” Why” followed by her second favorite question “What do you think”?  Growing up in a tumultuous atmosphere her quest for forgiveness and understanding has led her to study Naturopathic medicine, Religion, and Psychology. Believing the division of science and spirituality is an illusion, she blends scientific findings with spiritual perspectives in an effort to unravel the mysteries of the human experience.  She has read the works of several famous people, though she has never met them and has studied with profoundly intelligent and spiritual people, most of which many have never heard of… those she calls friends.  She believes that the answer to every question ever asked lies within the one asking the question. That, at all times, we are both student and teacher. Currently she is working on her Master’s degree in psychology and intends to pursue a career in individual and family counseling. “The longer I live and the more I learn leads me to believe we learn through experience and grow through intention”…. “What do you think”?

Philip Shepherd’s life can best be described as “outside of the box.” At 18, he left his native Canada to cycle alone from Europeto India, intent on immersing himself in exotic cultures. Shepherd’s exploits took him to some unexpected places: from star-filled nights in the Great Syrian Desert to Japan, where he studied classical Noh Theater. Along the way he experienced countless ways of living unlike anything he had known in Canada.

As he absorbed the lessons he learned from those different cultures, Shepherd began applying those  principles to aspects of Western culture that are generally accepted as ‘normal.’ The insights he gained left him more connected with his life, more open to the present, and more clearly grounded in his purpose than ever before. Shepherd shares them in his book, New Self, New World where he reveals how our culture subtly instructs us to rely on our head as the sole center of intelligence, and how this isolates us from the world around us. “My hope is that the book will spark questions and conversations so readers can shed the habits of thinking and seeing that trap them in anxiety. Then they can discover the deeper truth that opens them to the world and its guidance,” Shepherd says.

Thorough an in-depth exploration of physics, history, physiology, myth, anthropology, literature, neuroscience and spirituality, Shepherd guides readers through the trappings of Western culture and
shows how to escape their hold. He also shows readers how to unlock their own creativity to discover
themselves—and the world— anew. “I’m not a full-time anything,” Shepherd says. “In the last few months I have done corporate coaching, helped to create a new dance piece, redesigned and renovated a kitchen, taught theatre at a university and completed my book.”

Shepherd draws on his extensive experience as an actor, teacher and director to conduct workshops on
creativity, presence and freedom, and to deliver engaging lectures on how our culture shapes us, and how
we as individuals can start to reshape our culture. He is also the director of Reactor Core Theatre
Company, which puts into practice the principles outlined in New Self, New World.

He currently lives in Toronto with his wife and two children. For more information on Philip Shepherd and

NEW SELF, NEW WORLD
Recovering Our Sense in the 21st Century
In The Four Agreements, a New York Times bestseller for over seven years, don Miguel Ruiz revealed how the process of our education, or "domestication," can make us forget the wisdom we were born with.  Throughout our lives, we make many agreements that go against ourselves and create needless suffering.  The Four Agreements helps us to break these self-limiting agreements and replace them with agreements that bring us personal freedom, happiness, and love.
Now don Miguel Ruiz joins his son don Jose Ruiz to offer a fresh perspective on the Four Agreements, and a powerful new agreement for transforming our lives into our personal heaven: the fifth agreement.  The Fifth Agreement takes us to a deeper level of awareness of the power of the Self, and returns us to the authenticity we were born with.  In this compelling sequel to the book that has changed the lives of millions of people around the world, we are reminded of the greatest gift we can give ourselves: the freedom to be who we really are.

About the Authors:  For nearly three decades, don Miguel Ruiz has shared his unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern-day awareness through lectures, workshops, and journeys to sacred sites around the world.  Sales of his books have soared to more than sevel million copies in the United States alone, and have been translated into more than 30 languages worldwide.

In the tradition of his ancestors, don Jose Ruiz has dedicated his life to sharing the teachings of the ancient Toltec.  For the past seven years, he has been lecturing and leading classes across the United States, and at sacred sites around the world.

THE FIFTH AGREEMENT
A Practical Guide to Self Mastery
by don Miguel Ruiz and don Jose Ruiz
With expertise in self-mastery and peak performance, Marianne facilitates Renewal programs for women in mentorship, leadership, and key decision-making roles. She believes that the heart and its wisdom must come alive... the heart of each of us in caring for ourselves, in caring for each other, in caring for all life. An awakened heart inspires wisdom, and all is cultivated and well-tended. Women tend the heart. We are the nurturers and protectors of life. Clearly, it is time for us to assist humanity into a thriving future.

She begins by helping you to determine your patterns, their cause, and the problems they create. This is essential, because something created these limiting patterns and the complications they bring about. Without exception, my clients find the cause to be a negative perception or belief. The most common negative perception is “not-good-enough”. When a negative perception is triggered, it becomes like a muscle that suddenly spasms. Your attention and energy are immediately diverted to dealing with the resulting problems and consequences.

During your sessions, we don’t try to figure out how to resolve the problems; we identify your negative perception, and how to transform it to its positive alternative. As you remove sabotaging habits, you connect more sincerely with yourself and more genuinely with who you know you are.

Eliminate the negative perception, and the related problems disappear. Rather than negatively react and cope with the consequences, your previously “cramped” energy is freed up to create the life you want. This cultivates your magnificence and profoundly changes your persepctive, the quality of your performance, relationships, and life. In this state, nothing can stop you. Possibility becomes reality.

Marianne Weidlein, BSBA, author, transformational facilitator, and evolutionary guide, combines her 45 year background in human potential development, spirituality and self-employment to help groups and individuals achieve success. In 26 years of self-employment, she has developed expertise in self-mastery, peak performance, leadership, intentional manifestation, and self-employment. She has facilitated innumerable programs of varying sizes and formats to thousands of individuals and partnerships, using her curriculum and techniques.

By phone she guides women to become intentional authors of their unique destinies. She facilitates them to identify their sabotaging patterns, determine the most positive alternatives to replace them with, and supports them to follow through.

She authored Empowering Vision For Dreamers, Visionaries & Other Entrepreneurs - now an online business course manual for the self-employed; warm liquid life, and The Passage to Freedom manuscript, which is based on her mentoring program.
Cultivating Your Magnificence
with Marianne Weildein

Karen Wrigley is a well known animal communicator who has helped countless people and their pets— both nationally and internationally—with the process of communication, healing, and growth. Karen has been featured as an expert in her field in numerous newspapers and publications including The Washington Post, Washingtonian magazine, and in the USA Today article titled, “Psychics Help Pet Owners Get a New Leash on Life”.

Karen has come to understand through the many years which she has been in service to both humans and animals, that animals understand us better than we understand ourselves. As a child, Karen was extraordinarily sensitive to nature, intuitively understanding the wisdom of the earth and animals. Over time she realized that she possessed a unique gift—the ability to express the thoughts and feelings of animals through psychic communication. Raised on a farm in Indiana, Karen had plenty of time to experiment with and further hone these gifts. As she grew older she found that most people did not understand her or her special connection to the animal world.

Karen went on to pursue many things in life including a career in modeling, ownership of a modeling agency, and the teaching of modeling and etiquette classes. Formerly a Navy wife, she spent nearly two years volunteering as Ombudsman for the Navy. Passionate about health and wellness, Karen also promoted several holistic health and environmental products. And always desiring to learn more about animals, Karen worked as a veterinary technician, horse trail guide and pathology lab technician at Purdue University.

Throughout all of this, there was a part of Karen’s spirit that was not content. She had maintained a strong connection with earth and animals on a personal level, but it was not until April of 1998 when the Universe came calling unexpectedly, that Karen committed to what she now knows to be her divine purpose in life.

After receiving a call from a stranger requesting to set up an appointment for an animal communication, Karen discovered that she had been featured in the USA Today article “Psychics Help Pet Owners to Get a New Leash on Life”. One of the three clients she had casually performed an animal communication reading for earlier that year had shared their amazing experience in the article. Realizing that she could combine her love for empowering people and her passion for animals, Karen launched a career as an Animal Communicator. Since that time she has helped hundreds of clients communicate with their animals, get to the root of their pet’s behavior problems, find lost animals, and contact pet’s that have crossed over.

Communicating with animals and sharing the great wisdom they have with the human world has proven to be Karen’s passion and joy. Opening the lines of communication between man and animals in an effort to enhance both of their well-beings has been a great reward. Karen is humbled to be able to provide this gift of service—and is most delighted to watch and listen to the wonderful messages that our animals have for us, as they frequently share meaningful insights for their beloved owners, helping them to release old patterns and grow as individuals while inspiring them to pursue their dreams.
