Learn How to Release All Your Anxieties and
Fears By Unlocking the Doors to Your Past
Dr. Brian Weiss astonished the world of psychiatry with the theories of past-life regression therapy detailed in his best-selling book, Many Lives, Many Masters. Dr. Weiss has become known as the nation’s foremost expert in the field. This highly experiential intensive workshop explores the latest in hypnotic regression therapy.
When we discuss what happens before we are born and after we die—and our possible future lives—we awaken from the constrictions of our past conditioning to release anxieties and fears. This intensive includes large and small group exercises, using techniques such as hypnotic regression; healing visualizations; and intuitional and right-brain training. There will be ample time for questions and answers and personal interaction with Dr. Weiss.
Dr. Weiss will help participants open unexpected doors into the astonishing realm of past-life regression,while he guides participants through the process, step by step. During this all-day event, Dr. Weiss will show ways to: • Discover extraordinary details about your past
• Release old phobias and fears from prior lifetimes
• Practice revolutionary healing visualizations and meditations
~~~~
Always wanted to know more about reincarnation? I highly recommend doing your homework before attending one of Dr. Weiss's workshops in your area. First read Many Lives, Many Masters. This is the book that started Dr. Weiss's career as a past-life expert. Then, with a friend, alone, or with the help of a trained past life regressionist, do some past life regressions. Write your experiences in a journal.
In this book, he recounts his initial complete disregard for the very concept of past lives, as well as the eye-opening encounter with a patient, Catherine, that not only radically changed his perceptions, but also changed his, and his family's lives forever.
In subsequent books, he shares information and concepts he gathered from the thousands of fascinating past life regression cases he encountered, even stumbling upon "future-life progressions," to which his patients spontaneously journeyed, as well. See more about these books soon, as they will be featured on my "Books" page in the near future.

PRESS RELEASE:
Dear Leaders of the Community and Friends:
Rev. April "White Cloud" DeSilva has literally paved the way for women on every major continent to come together, to gather, if you will to Unite for all the major issues that we face in our world today. Ms. White Cloud led the first Gatherings of the Grandmothers over fifteen years ago in the mid and early nineties [see: http://grandmothersspeak.com ].
She was asked to be the spokeswoman for these world-wide events and she beautifully reflects the wisdom and knowledge of all those whom she has met over these many years. She uses her Shamanic influence and training of the Hopi and Lakota Peoples, as well as other indigenous styles to bring a gift of empowerment to women, to bring hope and establish the connectedness we have to Grandmother Earth, to each other, and to all life as natural healers.
Her vision statement has always been of having a resurgence of the Divine Feminine Energy (compassion and healing) poised equally over the globe to balance and heal the ills of the planet, Grandmother Earth-to heal her children and all living things on the planet. Only through Unity and the realization, "We are all One" can we hope to save ourselves and the Planet. To restore all to their rightful place, she calls to you, Wise-Grandmothers who have sat silent too long-to now take your place, make your stand, to come forward to create and bring forth the birthing of a "New Earth."
This is the time that has been prophesied by the indigenous all over the world. This is either the gestation period- to deliver our future generations to a world filled with compassion and Peace abolishing greed, ending hunger, providing health care to all people- or to a world that is collapsing where little will remain.
