Where do the roots of violence start?

The morning after the massacre in a Colorado movie theater, Portland-based author and psychotherapist, Julia Ingram, saw the college photo of the alleged killer and thought, “What a sweet face.” Then she wondered if he had once been a sweet boy.

Ingram asks a provocative question: Along with re-energized discussions about gun control in this country, can we find the will and courage to confront the great sickness of our nation — violence.

Read this and other in-depth articles:
  • Roots of Violence: Julia Ingram
  • Act Locally, Evolve Globally: Bruce Lipton
  • Psychology of Yoga: Dr. Uma Krishnamurthy

Dr. Bruce Lipton Highly Recommends PSYCH-K®
and Rita Soman, M.A.


 
Bruce Lipton's work is an amazing eye opener that our health is not limited by our genetics and that we can shift our limiting beliefs and take charge of our well-being at all levels. This information inspired me to learn PSYCH-K® and change my limiting beliefs and perceptions.

As a psychotherapist for 25 years I now use this process in my practice. The results have been quick, profound and long lasting. You too can live your life the way you want it!

Listen to Bruce Lipton by clicking here.

"The 'secret to life' is belief. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control our lives. PSYCH-K is a set of simple, self-empowering techniques to change your beliefs and perceptions that impact your life at a cellular level."

— Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., author of book, The Biology of Belief

The Awakening The Illuminated Heart Workshop
The new teachings of Drunvalo Melchizedek

Many people are familiar with Drunvalo Melchizedek's book The Ancient Secret of The Flower of Life which introduced many of us to sacred geometry, the Mer-Ka-Ba and the human energy field. Also the bestselling book, Living in The Heart.

This entirely new workshop, first introduced by Drunvalo in July 2011, “Awakening the Illuminated Heart” is the result of Drunvalo’s 40 plus years of research and understanding of the nature of human consciousness. His entire life’s work is represented here in this workshop. The teachings are ancient knowledge now translated into modern expressions and understandings. This is the simplest, easiest, most direct teaching on the subject of Ascension that Drunvalo has ever presented and provides the inner tools needed to truly enter the Ascension process and to learn to truly live your life and create your world from the Sacred Space of your Heart.

Viola Rose has received certification and encouragement from Drunvalo to share this profound work and is offering the 4 day workshop regularly in Portland and will also be travelling to other cities in the NW as well.

Upcoming dates (click on the links below):
Please visit Viola's website and also Drunvalo's website for lots more information.
