Spotlight On — Awakening the Quantum Biological Human

Dr. Bruce Lipton and Louise LeBrun
explore the expansiveness of WEL-Systems®
pressing the potential of Quantum Biology

If you're familiar with the work of the Institute, you already know how Dr. Lipton's cutting-edge work in cell biology helps us to understand why we get the incredible results we get. If you've not yet experienced it for yourself, you'll be both amazed and delighted to know that human evolution need not be incremental and that we have a capacity for quantum leaps and boundless potential.

Awakening the Quantum Biological Human, on May 28-29, 2005, brings Bruce and Louise into the same room, at the same time, to offer you new information and new insights into your own potential. The official web site for the conference is now available at:   WWW.WEL-Systems.com/Awakening   In a dynamic, humourous and compelling dance with conference participants, this two-day experience will allow you to test drive for yourself the boundlessness of your own potential. In addition to presentations on the latest thinking, Bruce and Louise will engage directly with those who choose to participate in an exploration of:

• what does this all mean for my personal evolution?
• what are the implications for the way I live now and how I might live into the future?
• how do I make sense of all this and apply it to my life and with the people I care about?
• if we've come this far, just what becomes possible as we open our minds and our hearts to new ways of being?

Day 2 begins with breakfast with Bruce and Louise, a special book signing, and then continues with a selection of 6 exciting workshops on:

• Power of One to Reframe Addiction
• Reclaiming Your Voice
• Discover Your Own Magic

Creativity for Life

One of the glories of life is that we are ever changing.  Those things that excite and engage us when we are young don't necessarily hold the same magic for us as we age.  Similarly, we often discover that those things that terrified or mystified us at one stage of our life morph into curiosity and anticipation.

Creativity for Life is a weekend of exploration and discovery for those of you who have already experienced an intensive WEL-Systems program experience and who are looking for the next unfolding of what's possible.  Creativity for Life calls to those who are curious about whether they have any artistic capabilities ...it calls to those who once thought themselves creative but who gave it up ...it invites those who once were afraid of making a fool of themselves but who are now game to see what might be possible if they let go of the rules ...it appeals to those excited about exploring new possibilities based in the insights of the body!

Join a small group of curious discoverers on March 19th & 20th for an experience guaranteed to open new doors and expand existing horizons!  Call Gwen at 254-7218 to register or visit www.PortalsPassages.com/programs/CFL.htm for more information.

Magic and Miracles

From Graham Wiseman, Ottawa, on his experience in  Igniting the Self

“ Nine Months later...

In June 2004, I talked about Igniting the Self being a life-altering experience and indeed it was. I managed to get in touch with my body for the very first time in a way I never thought possible. Since then I admit that the day-to-day pressures of working and living have dulled my senses a little and I'm in desperate need of a "tune-up". And because it now feels right I'm enrolled in Resourcefulness In Action and Influencing with Intention in April and looking forward to it immensely.

It's hard for me to put into words just how far I've come since last April. And while I take the credit for doing the work there are many people around me who have encouraged me and cheered from the side-lines. I recall with vivid images one incident during the first few days of Igniting in which I came face to face with one of my "demons". The fear of failure, of not being good enough, reared up in front of me and I got completely stuck. That stuckness became the pivot on which I somehow leapt forward into a new way of being. Something physical shifted in me that day to the point where others on the Igniting program told me I was "glowing". And that's how I felt - "glowing"

The next scheduled offering of  Igniting the Self is April 16 - 22, 2005

Thought Waves

Anita Allen recently completed the fourth level of the Portals Passages intensive experience,
Catalyst for Change. In the following thoughts, Anita shares a slice of her life with us as she
journeys along the path of her own discoveries and its potential for her continuing evolution.

Do Not Forget Who You Are!

Bed rest is over and I feel renewed. AND I am choosing to spend most of today in a "jammmies" state of mind. Simply moodling and contemplating my intention to be "unbound" as I continue to move forward in my life. I am clear on my desire to find new ways to move through my business. Intent on finding someone who will value the day - to - day experience of running a business. Someone who will see value in what I have created thus far and will continue, in their own way to make it their own as I begin creating from a new platform.

The idea of lowest common denominator continues to ring in my head. There are so many ways that I have continued to engage this strategy in my life. Always trying to "fit in". It is still present in the background of my conversations. 'Who am I to walk away from my business and do what I love? Write, write, write. Other people have to work at things that they don't like. Who am I to invest myself fully in doing what I want?"

The real question has now become, "Who is it possible for me to become if I do leave behind those things in order to write, write, write?"

This weekend was a powerful one for me. We decided to go to the cottage for the weekend. As I walked with my darling "boys" (my husband, my son and our family pet... Yep, I am out-numbered 3 to 1!) across the frozen lake, I could feel my whole body begin to dissolve. It was like I had no boundaries ... my skin was permeable and I was free to blow along with the wind. I was still fully present to our jokes and light conversation but a part of me was one with the wind. When we arrived back at the cottage, I felt very unfamiliar in my body, somehow compressed back into it in order to occupy the space and time that was our little cabin. Then, last night, as I entered my bath time ritual (I refer to it as the "Alchemical Bath" candles/fire, crystals/earth, water, and scent/air) I was fully transported by my breath. My arms felt the now familiar static sensation. They ceased to be my arms and I could not control them if I wanted to. My mouth and throat felt an incredible buzzing. It is the same echo of vibration that stays with your lips after playing a brass instrument for a long time.

After such incredible experiences I continue to realize how much I have been fooled into believing I am small. I get so caught in my own web of illusion ... even minutes after a transcendent experience, conditioned ways of moving through this world make their presence known.

Since we are all one. Each of us a fractal, reflecting back to one another our shared experience of moving through this flesh and blood existence, let me share the only thought that penetrated my awareness during the events of yesterday ... DO NOT FORGET WHO YOU ARE.

We may fall asleep or simply have the fog of sleepiness blanket us from time to time, so powerful is the illusion of own creations, AND we all know who we are and how powerful our moments of choice can be. The wonder of it is that we can always choose again and again. We cannot get it 'wrong' ... we can only find in each moment ways to explore our god-ness.

To each of you, I stand in admiration of WHO you are as fractals of a magnificent whole.
