July 25, 2023 – The Grounded

Healing, Health, Science Comments Off on July 25, 2023 – The Grounded

Feet on the ground imageOur next Louisville Esoteric Society (LES) meeting will be held Tuesday July 25.  It will be located at one of our regular members’ homes. Seating will be limited and our long-term members are given priority for the available spots before they are allocated to others on our email subscribers list.

TOPIC:

The Grounded – presented by Anna Locke

In this session we’ll be revisiting the concept of Grounding – a healing technique that includes performing activities that “ground you” (electrically reconnect you to the ground). This practice draws on the science & physics of grounding to explain how electrical charges from the earth can have positive effects on your body.

We’ll be watching and discussing a video documentary that features an entire town in Alaska that was transformed with this new awareness. Edgar Mitchell is featured in this video and the conversation around our relationship to the earth is taken to some new levels. It even features a ‘heartbeat of the earth’ with an instrument that was never done before. Portions of the video seem to tie in with Bob Hartye’s presentation on subtle energy in May. The video is an hour and 4 minutes long. We’ll have discussion afterwards.

WHERE:

At an LES member’s home. Those who successfully RSVP will be given the address prior to the meeting.

WHEN:

Tuesday, July 25, 2023 – Meeting starts at 6:30 PM; Doors open at 5:45 PM
Arrive anytime on/after 5:45 PM for social engagement, adult beverages and light snacks.

RSVP:

This session is free of charge. If you are interested in attending please RSVP as soon as possible to Jim Patterson at  jlpatters77@yahoo.com.

October 26, 2016 – Naturopathy

Healing, Health Comments Off on October 26, 2016 – Naturopathy

Join us Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 6:30 PM for Naturopathy presented by Dr. Robert G. Churchman, N.D.

According to Wikipedia:

Naturopathic practice is based on a belief in the body’s ability to heal itself through a special vital energy or force guiding bodily processes internally. Diagnosis and treatment concern primarily alternative therapies and “natural” methods to promote the body’s natural ability to heal. Naturopaths focus on a holistic approach, often completely avoiding the use of surgery and drugs. Naturopaths aim to prevent illness through stress reduction and changes to diet and lifestyle, often rejecting the methods of evidence-based medicine.

 

Dr. Churchman will hopefully discuss some of the scientific and clinical evidence documenting the efficacy of natural approaches to healing as well as some of the specific modalities he incorporates into his practice.

All sincere seekers are welcome.  $10 for pay-as-you-go attendees; No charge for LES pre-pay Members.

September 2, 2015 – Homeopathy

Healing Comments Off on September 2, 2015 – Homeopathy

S_akram-1

Join us Wednesday September 2,  2015 at 6:30 PM for “Homeopathy presented by Dr. Akram Khan.

Homeopathy is a medical system that was introduced by German doctor Samuel Hahnemann over two hundred years ago. The system is based on the Law of Similars which was described by Hahnemann using a Latin phrase, “Similia Similibus Curentur”, which means “Let likes be cured by likes.”

Hahnemann named the system Homeopathy. The philosophy is that the symptoms produced by a drug when given in strong doses to a healthy person can be cured by the same medicine in higher dilutions in potentized form. In other words, minimal doses can relieve diseases that have symptoms similar to those created by strong doses of the drug. Homeopathy aims at stimulating the body’s own healing mechanism to counter the manifesting disorders.

Dr. Khan will cover:

  • Origin, philosophy and main features of homeopathy
  • How homeopathy works
  • How to select a medicine according to symptoms
  • How to suggest medicines according to symptoms
  • Safety of homeopathic medicines

About Dr. Akram:

Dr. Akram Khan has been a homeopath  since 1998 and practices with his son in their clinic in Lahore, Pakistan.  For more information about the doctors and homeopathic treatments please see Dr. Akram’s web site: www.homeopathy.com.pk

Join us for discovery and discussion on Homeopathy!

All sincere seekers are welcome.  $10 for pay-as-you-go attendees; No charge for LES pre-pay Members.

August 19, 2015 – The Metaphysical Nature of Wood

Healing, Metaphysics, Uncategorized Comments Off on August 19, 2015 – The Metaphysical Nature of Wood

Join us Wednesday August 19,  2015 at 6:30 PM for “The Metaphysical Nature of Wood presented by Thomas Freese.

Louisville Esoteric Society will host Thomas Freese, author/storyteller/artist on  August 19 for a presentation about trees, the “Standing People.” The Standing People—trees—are our planetary partners in healing. Thomas Freese has worked with wood for over 30 years, crafting a line of jewelry, wood wands, spoons and ornaments. Trees and wood have many properties to share, similar to the metaphysical offerings of stones and crystals. Thomas will bring his wood crafts and share some of the wisdom of woods.

As Marshall McLuhan said in the 1970s, “The medium IS the message.” Thomas has taken woods to psychics to receive information. In addition he has researched in books and online about the folklore, nature wisdom and metaphysical uses of various woods and writes,  “When I see a sculpture in a museum and it merely says ‘wood” for the material the artist used; I have to sigh and roll my eyes. What KIND of wood, where was the wood taken from, was it architectural salvage or wood struck by lightning? Wood is not plastic and this living medium offers us so many blessings beyond the practical.

 

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have shown that trees grow faster when high levels of cosmic radiation reach the earth’s surface, concluding that cosmic radiation impacts tree growth even more than annual temperature or rainfall. Secondly, renowned researcher, Lawrence Edwards, found that tree buds changed shape and size rhythmically, in regular cycles all through winter, directly correlating to the moon and planets. The oak for example, appears to change with Mars, the Beech with Saturn and the Birch with Venus. Curiously, Edwards also found that overhead power lines disrupted this planetary influence.” Excerpted from: http://www.bethmoon.com/DiamondNights.html

Hope you’ll join us for what will surely be an enlightening and entertaining evening.  Some of Thomas’ wood art creations will be available for purchase.

June 25, 2014 (Wednesday) – Life Force, The Scientific Basis: Breakthrough Physics of Energy Medicine, Healing, Chi and Quantum Consciousness

Healing, Human Energy, Quantum Physics Comments Off on June 25, 2014 (Wednesday) – Life Force, The Scientific Basis: Breakthrough Physics of Energy Medicine, Healing, Chi and Quantum Consciousness

NOTE: Effective June 2014 with our new location, we’re going to move our meetings to the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month.

Join the Louisville Esoteric Society on Wednesday June 25, 2014 at 6:30 PM for our next meeting:   Life Force, The Scientific Basis: Breakthrough Physics of Energy Medicine, Healing, Chi and Quantum Consciousness“ presented by Bob Hartye.

Bob’s description:

During my formal education in Physics 45 years ago, I was driven by a desire to explore the boundary between Physics and Metaphysics, my real passion.  Unable to gain any traction from what was available to me at the time, I pursued a career elsewhere.

Taking up this quest again upon retirement, I found there has been essentially no progress in this area from U.S. mainstream physics.  Although, there was no lack of alternative physics theories available through the internet, most had very little experimental support and it was difficult for me to sort out fact from fiction.

Meanwhile on the Spiritual path, I was frequently exposed to motivational speakers who would relate spiritual principles to various aspects of Quantum Theory.  To me, the connections often seemed more poetic than scientific and while this unquestionably had value to practically all of my friends, for me it was like rubbing salt in the wound.

As my wife and friends became involved in energy healing, I have been trying to better understand how this healing energy, Qi, relates to and interacts with the known physical universe on one hand and consciousness on the other.  The book shown above pulls together the most promising scientific experimental results and theories worldwide addressing this topic. I was amazed at how much good information was available.

It appears to me, that this healing energy is the bridge I was looking for between physics and metaphysics.

A description from the book’s back cover is included below. I’ve tried to understand the physics and biophysics well enough to communicate them as clearly and correctly as possible without getting in too deep. Join us Wednesday the 25th and we’ll see!

All sincere seekers are welcome.  $10 for pay-as-you-go attendees; No charge for LES pre-paid Members.

February 11, 2014 – Healing: Miracles, Mysteries and John Of God

Healing, Spirituality Comments Off on February 11, 2014 – Healing: Miracles, Mysteries and John Of God

 

Join the Louisville Esoteric Society on Tuesday February 11, 2014 at 6:30 PM for our next meeting:   Healing: Miracles, Mysteries and John Of God, presented by Kathy Diebold.

This feature documentary, which gained three prestigious Angel Awards at the Monaco International Film Festival in 2008, takes you on a cinematographic journey to João Teixeira de Faria, also known as John of God, the miracle healer of Brazil. The film explores the extraordinary abilities of this internationally respected medium and shows João’s incorporation by one of the many spirit beings who work through him to heal sick and disabled people from all over the world.

Over one million people have visited the Casa de Dom Inácio centre in the village of Abadiânia, Brazil. Since João first discovered this miraculous faculty more than 50 years ago, an enormous number of individuals, many with illnesses considered incurable, have received healing that mainstream medical opinion cannot explain.

The film takes an objective and unflinching look at the physical and emotional journeys undertaken by some of these people. It shows how spiritual energy can transcend conventional medical knowledge, and features remarkable sequences showing João being used by the spirit entities as a channel to carry out their miraculous work.

Healing is a visually stunning work that challenges conventional perceptions of normality. Through unbiased reporting of the facts, including testimony from doctors, scientists and people who have been restored to health, it provides a unique insight into the achievements of a man who insists he is merely the instrument through which faith, compassion and benign spiritual forces are channeled to alleviate suffering.

Whatever your beliefs, Healing cannot fail to inspire, impress and intrigue. It will lead you towards an acceptance of the fact, supported by indisputable visual evidence, that in this quiet Brazilian village, something truly miraculous is happening for the benefit of mankind.

Join Kathy Diebold as she shares this engaging documentary as well as her own personal experience of visiting with John Of God.

February 26, 2013 – Medical Intuition: Learning the Language of your Body

Healing, Health, Human Energy Comments Off on February 26, 2013 – Medical Intuition: Learning the Language of your Body

 

Join the Louisville Esoteric Society on Tuesday February 26, 2013 at 6:30 PM for our next meeting topic:  Medical Intuition: Learning the Language of your Body” presented by Lorena Peter.

One interpretation of the physical symptoms of dis-ease is as a form of communication between the body and the other parts of us; mind and spirit.  Unfortunately in our society we learn to separate those aspects of our being, to ignore any connection, most especially any messages. Western medicine treats the body as though it were a machine-like entity operating separately.  In fact, it treats the body as though each part of it can be treated without affecting the other parts of the whole.

As a medical intuitive Lorena acts as an interpreter between the body and the mind of her clients.  She uses a psychic connection to tune into the physical to discover what organs or organ systems are affected.  Then, she asks the further question of what is the root cause of those problems and the way in which they might be healed.  The answer to this question helps guide the client to a complete healing.

In this presentation, Lorena will demonstrate what the client sees her do in a consultation, followed by a consideration of why.  To better understand the correlations between the human energy system and the physical body, refer to authors such as Caroline Myss (Anatomy of a Spirit) and Mona Lisa Schultz (Awakening Intuition).

All sincere seekers are welcome.  A $5 donation is suggested.

October 9, 2012 – The Living Matrix: The Science of Healing

Consciousness, Healing, Human Energy Comments Off on October 9, 2012 – The Living Matrix: The Science of Healing

Join us on Tuesday October 9, 2012 for our discussion group topic, The Living Matrix: The Science of Healing” presented by Jim Locke & Anna Smith.

The Living Matrix – The Science of Healing uncovers new ideas about the intricate web of factors that determine our health.  This film talks with a group of dedicated scientists, psychologists, bioenergetic researchers and holistic practitioners who are finding healing potential in a wide variety of new places.

Researchers and others who faced health challenges put the science in perspective when they tell their stories.  The family of a young Greek boy with cerebral palsy tries to improve his quality of life through reconnective healing.  A British woman, diagnosed with an inoperative brain tumor, immerses herself in neuro-linguistic programming.  An American woman runs out of options to treat her chronic fatigue syndrome, and as a last resort, begins using an information-based therapy.  All three make remarkable recoveries.

Science-based healing or “miracle cures?”

Modern biochemical medicine has no framework for explaining these events, often dismissing them as spontaneous remissions . . . or the result of some kind of placebo effect.

Find out more . . . watch the film and see the most expansive minds in alternative medicine share their knowledge.

All sincere seekers are welcome.  A $5 donation is suggested.
