“Love is not just an idea. Love is a living, breathing essence that the wise can pluck from the air at will and then like a master artist mold it into something beautiful.”

The Problem
Day 1

Bill will show how chronic mental stress, (e.g., guilt, resentment, unresolved grief, feeling driven, worry, over-analysis, investment in what others think about us, and frustration related to the inability to control others’ behavior) leads to the chronic activation of the body’s emergency stress response. This response is designed to be called upon for up to 30 minutes to assist us to survive life-threatening emergencies.

When prolonged, this response manifests in massive shifts in hormones, a powerful inflammatory reaction and reallocation of internal resources, such as the immune system, away from their usual function of ensuring growth, health and optimal functioning.

The body alerts us to chronic activation of the stress response through progressive internal feelings of dis-ease and physical symptoms. If these symptoms are not understood as helpful alarms, people can get caught in a reactive cycle of thought and progressive physical deregulation and “illness” (i.e., a louder alarm). Without sufficient understanding of the Principles as a source of their experience, people often get frightened or upset and fall into habitual unhealthy and even self destructive behaviors in an effort to alleviate their feelings of dis-ease.

When people feel better they act healthier and are guided more by the wisdom of Mind.

The Solution
Day 2

Linda Pettit will be joining us virtually on Day 2 to do the morning session and to accompany Bill in the afternoon Q & A.

An incremental understanding of Mind, the formless energy that uses our brain, is both preventative (a vaccine) and curative.

Mind, the spiritual intelligence behind life, is always guiding us. It is the source of the healing power of love, the force behind spiritual and psychological health, which promotes optimal physical health.

When life brings challenge, difficulty and pain we often realize that the personal thinking we do with our brains does not have all the answers. Surrendering to the unknown can quiet our thinking. In this quieter state, the veil between the physical and spiritual thins, making it easier for us to notice Mind’s presence in and around us. Harmonizing with the power of Mind allows us to find beauty, meaning and grace; to experience our unbroken wholeness, no matter what we are going through.

Being aware of this formless spiritual intelligence produces an internal experience of life that is gentler, more joyful, more loving, and more present.

This leads to a higher level of emotional, psychological and physical health.

This health is incrementally independent of past painful experience, present challenges, and future uncertainty.
