The Science of Healing Conference: Transforming Ideas About Health

Premiere of The Living Matrix - groundbreaking film about the next revolution in healing

March  14-16, 2009
Kings College, London

The Science of Healing Conference: Transforming Ideas About Health

Global Experts Explore Mysteries of Healing

A three-day conference at the prestigious Kings College in London, based on a new ground-breaking film entitled The Living Matrix: The Science of Healing is to bring together some of the most innovative and renowned thinkers in the world today to explore what lies behind the miraculous recoveries experienced by people suffering from so-called 'incurable' diseases and other previously unanswered questions.  

The Living Matrix Film:

The film begins with a three-dimensional tour of the human body, which takes viewers on a journey through our miraculous biological systems.  It then moves onto people who were diagnosed with illnesses that current medical science couldn't cure, yet had experienced "miracle cures".
The Living Matrix also takes an intriguing look into the future, examining new technologies and techniques that bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical methods of healing applications. The result is a fascinating, spellbinding film, enlightening everyone who's ever contemplated the mysteries of health and well being.

Sounding Bowls - Healing Musical Instrument

 

Sounding Bowls - Healing Musical Instrument

Sounding Bowls are a unique and modern instrument used in hospices and healing centres across the world. Within a Sounding Bowl bronze wound strings are stretched across richly figured Cherry, Sycamore or Ash wood whose notes resound from spiral section curves to enfold the player in a unique bud-shape of sound.

Tobias Kaye's passion as a woodturner has always been to transform the beauty that trees offer us in their own shapes and material so that the forms she brings to it as a human artist harmonize with what they intrinsically offer. Unsure how best to bring out this innate harmony, she wracked her brains without result. One night, while meditating, an image of a bowl stretching a tuned string within it appeared before her. Fitting the first string to a wooden bowl was like seeing life being breathed into it.

The circle has always contained magic for human beings. From stone circles through round temples to crop circles, and from goddess cauldrons through circle dancing to the holy grail, we have images of circle magic going beyond our comprehension through all of our history. In a Sounding Bowl, the taut string gives a contrast to this circle that brings harmony, which is about finding the true genius within, whose musical flame can weave together the apparently disparate so that our life becomes a creative gift in place of a dualist battle.

Sounding Bowls are often used as a tool for meditation allowing the resounding note to connect us with the source of our innate harmony. Two notes can be used to explore the 'space between' from which all manifest reality flows, or three notes can be used to explore the relationships of the trinity or of the white, the red and the black aspects of the goddess.

The Range of Sounding Bowls Includes:
Meditation Bowls;
Melody Bowls;
Fan strung Bowls;
Fully Rounded Sounding Bowls;
Cross Strung Sounding Bowls.

Relief from SAD from Lumie


Relief from SAD from Lumie 
Light therapy is scientifically proven to help treat SAD and the winter blues... This winter, Lumie is recommending that people should seek as much bright light as possible to avoid feeling blue or suffering from SAD.  This can be achieved in a number of ways, including going on holiday to a sunny destination, getting outside as much as possible or using a quick, simple and effective treatment called light therapy. Lumie offers two types of light therapy; bright lights and dawn simulators; both have been scientifically proven to help treat SAD and the winter blues.

As well as bright light therapy, Lumie has also just launched its brand new dawn simulator, Bodyclock Elite
 
 Lindsay Stanley, spokesperson for Lumie, said: "A recent survey of ours has shown there to be an increase in the number of UK incidences of SAD sufferers, rising from 500,000 to over four million.  The number thought to be affected by the milder form of the condition, known as the winter blues, has also jumped from five to ten million.
 
"Because the root cause of SAD and the winter blues is lack of bright light, Lumie recommends:
Buy a bright light (make sure you note down Lumie's top tips on buying one);
Try a dawn simulator such as the Bodyclock Elite as this could help wake you during the darker mornings;
Go on a winter holiday (remember it's brightness that counts, not heat);
Sit by a window at work where possible;
Go for a walk around the block on lunch;
Get outside as much as possible."

Health-Enhancing Properties of Miso 


Health-Enhancing Properties of Miso
Like fine wine, miso comes in many varieties, each with its own unique taste, colour and texture, and each reflecting the local culture, crops and growing conditions of the different regions of Japan.

Miso, the traditional Japanese soya food, has long been recognized for its rich, savoury flavour and its versatility. It's the perfect alternative to salt to enhance the flavours of soups, stews and sauces.

Clearspring's range of miso includes the best of each type, both dark and light including Barley, Brown Rice, Hatcho and Sweet White Miso in jars and pouches, as well as Instant Miso Soups and Miso Relish.

Clearspring Organic Barley Miso A relatively dark and rich miso that is the traditional miso of rural communities in Japan.
 
Clearspring Organic Brown Rice Miso Dark brown in colour, brown rice miso is high in fibre and has a nutty, rich and slightly sweet flavour.

Clearspring Organic Brown Rice Miso has similar properties to barley miso but with a slightly sweeter taste and also works well as a savoury seasoning for soups, stews and sauces.

Clearspring Organic Sweet White Miso Sweet white miso has a wonderful creamy richness, and a delicate and slightly salty sweetness. Best used for seasoning light soups, it also makes a good substitute for dairy ingredients in dips, dressings, sauces and spreads. Try using a little in mashed potato instead of milk, or in creamy soups instead of dairy cream.

Clearspring Organic Hatcho Miso The darkest of all the mison, Hatcho miso is a pure soya bean miso that is packed fully of protein. Its characteristic smoky flavour is one of the true tastes of traditional Japan.
 
Clearspring Miso Relish A delectably savoury, yet sweet, and can perk up paté and dips, and add flavour to stir-fry and noodle dishes. It also makes a tasty filling for sandwiches and sushi, as well as a topping for tofu.

Recovery From CFS - 50 Personal Stories

by Compiler and Editor Alexandra Barton
ISBN no: 9781434363589

Recovery From CFS - 50 Personal Stories

Recovery from CFS - 50 Personal Stories is a collection of 50 recovery stories which will give hope to everyone who has CFS/ME or cares for someone with CFS/ME. This is the only book of CFS/ME recovery stories available in the world.  

Compiler and Editor Alexandra Barton spent many years as an invalid with CFS/ME. She was unable to walk more than a few yards and used a wheelchair for the occasional family outing. She once went to Disney Land, Paris with a disabled scooter in the luggage hold of the bus. Alexandra recovered by reverting to the diet of our ancestors; within six months was able to manage without the live-in au-pair who had looked after her, the children and the home for 5 years. Another year later and she was canoeing down the Ardeche in France on an active family holiday.

When Alexandra recovered she advertised in newspapers and magazines to find people who had recovered and were willing to write their stories to give hope to people who are still sick. 50 people kindly agreed to do so and the result is "Recovery from CFS - 50 Personal Stories".

Dr Jacob Teitelbaum, Medical Director of the National Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers Inc. USA, a specialist in CFS/ME, has written the foreword. Two recovery stories are written by doctors, including that of Dr Clare Fleming who edited two reports from the National Task Force on CFS/ME and contributed to the Action for ME residential rehabilitation courses for people with CFS/ME in the UK. British canoeist Anna Hemmings details her return from CFS/ME to winning a World Championship Gold Medal.  

The fifty men, women and children were all diagnosed with CFS/ME by a medical professional and were ill for between 2 and 25 years before they regained their health and returned to a normal life.  Methods of recovery in each story are different and very individual and every author recommends therapies, supplements, books and websites and offers advice at the end of their story.  Many also give contact details for sufferers who need support.
