Science, Consciousness and Spirituality: The Power of Relationship

International experts in alternative approaches to healthcare will be gathering in Auckland this October for New Zealand's largest conference on the power of spirituality and consciousness in healing.

The special guest speakers will shed light on exciting new evidence emerging from studies in distant healing effects and intuitive healing, describing effects that are beyond the bounds of time, space, and the material.

Conference convenor Dr Louisa Walker says there is increasing understanding globally of the role of consciousness in healing, based on scientific evidence that is transforming our understanding of health and wellness.

"We are experiencing a revolution -- a genuine paradigm shift -- in science and medicine based on the primacy of consciousness. We are entering an era in healing and healthcare where consciousness has a primary, fundamental role to play," says Dr Walker.

The 'Science, Consciousness and Spirituality: The Power of Relationship' conference will bring together speakers in the forefront of research into this new approach to healing. The conference will explore the non-local nature of mind including our ability to experience and describe distant events blocked from ordinary perception that are at work in the healing relationship.

Conference speaker Dr Larry Dossey, best know for his research on the effects of prayer in healing, describes our current medical system as Era I medicine. Era II medicine includes alternative mindbody approaches to healthcare. He further describes Era III Medicine that goes well beyond conventional medical interventions aimed at a "fix" or cure. He will explore distant or non-local consciousness-oriented healing.

Dr Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, a leader in studies on indigenous healing and how it can complement modern medicine explores links between mind and matter revealed in world wisdom traditions and ancient healing beliefs and practices.

Physicist Dr Russell Targ, co-founder of the previously secret psychic research program at the Stanford Research Institute will describe remote viewing including exciting evidence for extrasensory perception, precognition, intuitive diagnosis and distant healing.

Dr Walker says that there is widespread interest in the concept of spirituality in health, and the conference is a rare opportunity for anyone with an interest in alternative healing to interact with some of the leaders in this field.

The 2010 Science Consciousness and Spirituality Conference will be held from October 15th at Hopetoun Alpha and then October 16-17 2010 at AUT University, Akoranga Campus, Auckland. Conference attendance Saturday and Sunday costs $395.
