Featuring a Talk by Carol Chapman

“Atlantis and Its Colonies in Egypt and Yucatan”

“With the realization of the Law of One that there was to be the final breaking up of the Poseidian-Atlantean lands, there were the emigrations with many of the leaders to the various lands.” (Edgar Cayce Reading 1007-3).

According to the readings of Edgar Cayce, the ancient world did not resemble what we see on maps today. During the thousands of years that Atlantis existed, most of the present lands were under water, including most of North America.

Carol’s program will illustrate what the earth looked like during Atlantean times and how very different people looked then as compared to modern man. For example, Cayce explains in Reading 5748-6: “See, most of the people had tails then!”

• What kinds of people were these Atlanteans and how did their bodies differ from those of today?
• What did Cayce mean when he described Atlanteans as “thought people?”
• Did they leave records of their civilization?
• What happened to Atlantis? Where is it now?
• Could you be a reincarnated Atlantean?
• Why did the Atlanteans choose Egypt and Yucatan to colonize?
• Where did Cayce say we could find evidence of Atlantis?
• Is there a possibility that the ancient Egyptian and Mayan gods were actually Atlanteans?
• Who was Ra Ta? Who was Hept-Supht, and why did he leave Atlantis for Egypt?
• How does Cayce describe the root races? Is his prediction of the fifth root race tied to Atlantis?
• What was the “the mighty, the terrible crystal” and what was its role in Atlantean life? (Edgar Cayce Reading 519-1)

These questions and more will all be answered during Carol’s  program.

About Our Presenter:

Carol Chapman’s search for indications of Atlantean visitors in these lands has led her to Yucatan four times and to Egypt once, all while using the Edgar Cayce readings and her own past life regression memories of Atlantis as a guide.

She created the Edgar Cayce Divine in Nature Calendars and is also an independent filmmaker who produced the movie titled  End of the World 2012 Movie and the travelogue documentary titled Yucatan Travel: Cancun to Chichen Itza.

You can also find the story of Atlantis and Its Colonies in Egypt and Yucatan in Carol’s books: Arrival of the Gods in Egypt and When We Were Gods.

Carol is also an award-winning photographer who previously worked for NASA as a photojournalist and her presentation includes photos of the Atlanteans in paintings on the walls of the pharaohs’ tombs, characteristics of ancient ruins that point to Atlantean influences and Mayan ruins in Yucatan illustrating myths that point to Atlantean and Lemurian origins.

Featuring a Talk by Jill Baughan

“Born to be Wild: Rediscover the Freedom of Fun”

Jill Baughan’s latest book, Born To Be Wild: Rediscover the Freedom of Fun, helps men and women unleash that power of play in their own lives, insisting that she is not the only one with this “gift”.

Everyone is a fun person, she says–even if you’re feeling depressed or overwhelmed or angry–mainly because the God who made you is also the Creator of fun. Her message gives you a new ability to:

  • Fit more fun into your day.
  • Restore adventurous dreams you may have postponed.
  • Multiply joy by sharing your fun with others.
  • Use moments of fun to heal in times of grief and loss.
  • Renew your relationship with God by using fun as an act of worship.

About Our Presenter:

Jill Baughan, an author and speaker who helps people unleash the power of play in their lives, was born in Bluffton, Indiana, where she learned to laugh and throw up at the same time while riding the Tilt-A-Whirl at the annual Bluffton Street Fair.

Early on in life she was diagnosed with an acute form of adultaphobia (fear of entering the Land of Responsible Adulthood).  Alas, adulthood did catch up with Jill, and she is no stranger to painful experiences, such as the sudden death of her father when she was ten, and a long battle with infertility as an adult.

Her first book, A Hope Deferred: A Couple’s Guide to Coping with Infertility, chronicled her journey, and offered suggestions for couples traveling the same difficult road. Even though the challenges of life have changed her, however, her innate wildness remains unshaken.

“Though there are times when part of me mourns what’s lost, sighs at what’s here and trembles a bit at what’s to come,” she says, “I still want to hop onto a Harley, swing like Tarzan from a vine, and toilet paper somebody’s house.”

As a frequent speaker, Jill’s message has touched hundreds of people at retreats, civic organizations, church groups, women’s ministries and businesses. Leaders look to Jill as someone who can inspire their audiences with humor, depth and wisdom.

Jill spent a lot of years as an English instructor at Virginia Commonwealth University before she decided to take her craziness on the road. She and her husband, Ben, have an adult daughter, Jamie, and live just outside of Richmond, Virginia.

Featuring a Talk by Myra Lovvorn, RN, MSN, FNP-BC, AHPRN

“Exposing and Transforming Self-Limiting Subconscious Beliefs.”

Negative, self-limiting beliefs and “can’t-do” attitudes are universally recognized as barriers to success in every endeavor and walk of life. Science has focused on “conscious” thoughts to change those limiting beliefs by attention to affirmations, mantras, brain training and a wide variety of focused exercises.

But only about 5% of our thoughts are considered by neuroscientists to be conscious, within the field of our waking awareness, while the other 95% occur in our subconscious, outside our waking awareness, and the subconscious is the source of most of our self-limiting beliefs and programs.

By understanding the science of that other 95% and how our subconscious minds shape, form, influence and direct our ideas, beliefs, day-to-day decisions, prosperity, success, health, wellness and even aging, we can expose and relinquish self-limiting and self-defeating subconscious beliefs and programs and transform our lives.

PSYCH-K® is one of many methods for exploring, re-tuning and reprogramming the subconscious that utilizes simple, non-invasive “balances” to enable you to “rewrite” the software of your subconscious mind in beneficial ways, ways that will facilitate changing and relinquishing subconscious beliefs and programs that cause and perpetrate illness, disease, failure, disharmony and unhappiness.

About Our Presenter:

Myra Lovvorn has spent years studying and mastering PSYCH-K® and other transformative modalities. Using the subconscious beliefs of participants in our workshop, Myra will demonstrate quickly and effectively the art and science of belief change through the application of PSYCH-K, muscle-testing kinesiology and other modalities offered to help us gain better understanding and control of our subconscious programming and self-limiting belief structures.

Featuring a Talk by Irene Kendig

“Conversations with Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead”

“What did you experience when you released your last breath on earth?” Thus begins each of the seven dialogs between Irene Kendig and her transitioned loved ones. In this two-hour presentation, Ms. Kendig will explore life from a spiritual perspective as she shares their answers.

But, the bigger question, and perhaps the more important one isn’t, “What happens when we die?” but rather, “What happens when we live? What happens when we live fearlessly in service to our heartfelt dreams and soul’s purpose?”

Ms. Kendig will discuss in detail how she’s applied what she learned from her loved ones on the other side so that we can all learn to eliminate unnecessary suffering, make choices in alignment with our soul’s purpose, and live a transformed life …heaven on earth…now!  What makes you come alive?

About Our Presenter:

Irene Kendig is a Soul-Centered Transformational Life Coach, speaker, and bestselling author. Her first book, Conversations with Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead, has been honored with seven national and international awards.

In this remarkable collection of interviews with seven loved ones who’ve died, Irene Kendig explores what happens when we transition from physical to non-physical reality. Each of the seven dialogues begins with the same question: “What did you experience when you released your last breath on earth.”

Claudia Pemperton of US Review of Books had this to say: “Author Irene Kendig strikes gold while digging for answers about life from those who have lived, died, and are now “living on.” It is impossible not to learn something about life from this book.”

Ms. Kendig facilitates clients from around the world – and locally in Charlottesville – in designing compelling, fulfilling lives by discovering and aligning with their soul’s purpose. She is gifted at facilitating the healing of trauma and the release of limiting beliefs.

She holds a B.A. cum laude in Psychology from UCLA and an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. She is a certified NLP Practitioner – the study of human excellence – a certified Alchemical Hypnotherapist, and a certified Practitioner of Emotional Freedom Therapy, also known as “tapping.” Visit her website at www.irenekendig.com.

Richmond IONS Meeting, June 21, 2014

Featuring a Talk by Qigong Master Sam Suen, Ph.D.

“Integrated Medical Qigong (IMQ)”

Do you know what “Qi” (pronounced as chee) is? Are you able to sense or feel your “Qi”? Do you know that practicing Qigong can help maintain or improve your health, increase vitality and solve some health issues?

The presentation will provide a better understanding of what “Qi” is and describe the various practice levels for “Integrated Medical Qigong” (IMQ), a modern integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine to achieve best results of healing that was developed by Qigong Master Sam Suen.

About Our Presenter:

Dr. Sam Suen, Ph.D. has a BS in Foreign Language & Literature (National Taiwan University), MA in English (WVU), Ph.D. in Comparative Literature (SUNY-Binghamton, NY) and MS in Computer Science (SUNY-Binghamton, NY). His career path included being an Adjunct Lecturer (SUNY-Binghamton, NY), Assistant Professor (Union College, Schenectady, NY), IBM Staff Software Engineer. He retired in May 2014 from being an Instructor at Cape Fear Community College (CFCC), Wilmington, NC.

Qigong Master Suen’s qigong journey began in January 2009 when he partially lost the use of his right hand (cannot grab or squeeze but can gently pull) and suffered a severely frozen left shoulder (very painful when touched and cannot raise his left hand or arm). His primary care physician prescribed pain / anti inflammatory medication.

In March 2009, he saw a neurologist at Duke University and was tested (CAT scans, probes, etc.) by 3 physicians. He was diagnosed with “root nerve damage” and was told there was no cure (Note: He recalled that 18 years before his car was rear-ended and he suffered a whip-lashed; medical examination and tests did not reveal any injury).

He was prescribed and performed physical therapy exercises with no improvement. His wife signed him up for diagnosis and treatment on May 26, 2009 by a visiting Qigong Master from California. His wife also signed him up for qigong classes the next day. During treatment and classes, he experienced strong external movements.

One week later, he began to regain the strength of his right hand and three weeks later his left shoulder was completely healed. He continued to practice qigong and began intensive research on qigong and TCM. At the same time, he realized he had attained a high level of qigong practice.

In August 2009, he started to treat people (mainly his relatives) for minor health issues, with some experiencing positive results.

In early 2010, he began intensive research and studies in Western medicine, with the view of using this knowledge when performing Qi diagnoses and treatment.

In this dynamic, flowing energy field of the universe, every thought, word and action that occurs in your life is recorded.  And then, those records are available to guide you through your present challenges.

Through your Akashic Records, the experiences of your past lives can help you gain new perspectives, achieve healing in your present consciousness, and connect with your eternal Divine Self. Bill’s unique gift for clearly accessing the healing capacity available from your Akashic Records, and his compassion and clarity are a positive force for anyone who seeks healing.

Please join Bill Sanda for a powerful gathering as he explores and explains the healing and clearing power of the Akashic Records. In addition, Bill will offer several mini-sessions for participants, do a short healing for each person, and close with a group healing.

About Our Presenter:

A spiritual seeker for more than three decades, Bill has studied with some of the most respected spiritual masters of our time. His git for clearly bringing the messages and healings from the Akashic Records was revealed to him several years ago. Now he offers this service to people as his gift back to the world in exchange for a simple love offering from the participant. Bill’s gift of compassionate clarity has been a positive force for the people who seek his gift.
