            COMMUNITY REMOTE HEALING CIRCLE
       _________________________________________________________
            Release and Participation Agreement

As a participant in the Circle you understand I will be working with a variety of alternative healing and energy techniques (collectively “Energy Medicine”).  Energy Medicine is a collective terms used to refer to a variety of energy techniques based on the use, modification, and manipulation of energy fields that assess where the body’s energies are blocked or not in harmony and then correct and balance the flow of these energies thereby aligning the body’s energies to boost health, vitality and restore the body’s natural energies.  The prevailing premise of Energy Medicine is that the flow and balance of the body’s electromagnetic and more subtle energies are important for physical, spiritual, and emotional health, and for fostering well-being.

Although Energy Medicine appears to have promising mental, spiritual, and physical benefits, it has yet to be fully researched by the Western academic, medical, and psychological communities and therefore, is considered experimental.  Energy Medicine is self-regulated and is considered “alternative” or “complementary” to the healing arts that are licensed in the United States.  Since Energy Medicine is a relatively new healing approach and the extent of its effectiveness, as well as its risks and benefits, are not fully known, you agree to assume and accept full responsibility for any and all risks associated with participating in the Circle.    If you ever have questions or concerns about the theories applicable to what we do in the Circle, please feel free to ask me.

During Circle sessions I will set a “healing intention” to assist each group member with their process of dealing with cancer.  It is possible for you to experience changes in your energy or spiritual aspects, which then can manifest in the physical body.  If during or after any Circle session you experience any distressing reactions, please bring this to my attention, and if appropriate, I can recommend possible solutions, including discontinuing your work with the Circle and continuing with an appropriate licensed health care professional.  Please note that it is impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding your health goals.  We do not know how you will personally respond to participating in the Circle and/or whether our work together will help you achieve your goals.  However, we will work together to achieve the best possible results for you.

Although I am a licensed acupuncturist in the State of New York, you understand and agree that by facilitating the Circle I am not providing you with any medical or psychological treatments. You understand there is a distinction between “healing” using Energy Medicine and the practice of medicine or any other licensed health care practice.  Further, you understand and agree that your participation in the Circle and working with me using Energy Medicine methods is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment.  You understand that you are advised to continue any medical or psychological treatment that you’re currently receiving.  In addition, you understand that any information shared during any Circle session is not to be considered a recommendation that you stop seeing any of your health care professionals or using prescribed medication, if any, without consulting with your health care professional, even if participating in the Circle you believe that such medication or therapy is unnecessary.  You agree to take full responsibility for your self-care in the, emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of your life and to seek professional advice as appropriate before making any health decisions.

Due to the fact that the Circle involves group processes in which you may voluntarily reveal personal information you understand that you waive your rights of privacy and confidentiality.  Any stories or testimonials discussed or presented during any Circle session does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, or prediction regarding any outcome from participating in the Circle for any particular purpose.

You understand that your participation in the Circle is strictly voluntary, at your own risk, and that you freely choose to participate and that you may stop your participation in the Circle at any time.  Further you understand I have the right upon written notice to you to terminate your participation in the Circle for any reason.  Also I have the right to terminate the Circle upon written notice to you for any reason at any time.  You represent that you’re competent and able to understand the nature and consequences of participating in the Circle.  Further, you represent that you are an adult under the laws of the state of your residence and you have the right to enter into this Agreement.

You agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law doctrines.  You also agree and understand that this Agreement is intended to be a complete unconditional release of liability and assumption of risk to the greatest extent permitted by law and that if any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance of this Agreement shall continue in full force and affect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon you and your heirs, legal representatives, and assigns.

By registering and participating in the Circle you acknowledge that you have carefully and completely read and fully understand all aspects of this Agreement and you agree to all of the terms and conditions stated herein.  For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, you and your heirs agree to fully release and hold harmless, Suzanne Clegg and her heirs, personal representatives, agents, employees, independent contractors, consultants, volunteers, and others associated with Suzanne Clegg from any and all claims or liability, directly or indirectly, whatsoever and for any damage or injury, including but not limited to, personal, emotional, financial, psychological or otherwise, which you might incur as a result of your voluntary decision to participate in the Circle.

…..are not to be confused with magical thinking. 

Think of the eagle…far-sighted and able to catch subtle air currents to reach her goal.  Then think of the ostrich…burying her head in the sand because she is too afraid to face her reality.  The eagle keeps her eye on the goal and adjusts until she gets there.  The ostrich’s only goal is to shut down and pretend all is well. When we bury anything…be it emotions, objects, important information…we are burying truth and our ability to see clearly what we need to do.  Qualities like wonder, awe, and reverence can help us connect with truth so we can be guided towards our goal.

Wishing something to be true without willingness to engage with it so that the truth can mature and ripen in us, only cuts us off from our wisdom and power.

Sometimes there are calamities and traumas where our best strategy is to bury our awareness of our current reality so we can survive.  It is a short term solution.  It creates long term disease and dysfunction.  The issue merely goes into the tissue.

To really heal–to really allow Grace to happen, we have to accept and embrace our reality and ourselves exactly as we are.  Who we are is usually full of contradiction–that’s par for being human.

For example, say you are a holistically savvy person recently diagnosed with cancer.  One “truth” is that you have experienced your body to be a self-healing self-clearing organism and you really expect yourself to survive and thrive.  Another “truth” is that you are terrified that you are going to die a premature painful death.  They are both two ends of the same stick.  In order to get beyond this duality, you need to pick up the whole stick–not just the end you like.  The good news is that Truth Trumps Fear.  Paradoxically when we can embrace and comfort our fear rather than run from it, it usually gives us a powerful gift on its way out.

With life-threatening conditions, it can be hard to embrace our fear and hard to embrace our hope.  It seems we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t.  If we bury and suppress fear–that causes cancer.  If we express our fear, the intensity racks our life with more stimulation than it can handle.  The same is true of the positive polarity.  If we suppress hope, we get depressed and miss solutions that are right in front of our nose.  On the other hand, if we indulge in blindly believing that we are “better”, then we also miss the subtle adjustments in our thinking that life is offering us.  Spiritual traditions advise us to “seek the middle way” or “walk the straight and narrow path.”  When we find ourselves unable to move out of extremes, it is wise to get help.  It saves time, money and perhaps lives to move beyond harmful dichotomies.

in my practice, I have many resources, techniques and tools to help you return to your center to where Grace can happen.  I used a combination of laying-on-of hands, Acutonics® sound healing, acupuncture, life style suggestions and much more.   If you would like to talk with me to see if I can help your situation, feel free to contact my office and schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone appointment.  I have a growing specialty in cancer care, but my approach is powerful with many conditions.  I only accept patients I think I can help.

In the mean time, here’s to the eagle in all of us!

Remote healing and prayer are both powerful spiritual tools for Physical Healing.   They are both time-honored traditions that have been validated in our time with our own transformative experiences and with scientific studies.

A common form of prayer is a request for help from a Higher Power.    You seek to connect with a Spiritual Source in order to be healed.   

Remote healing involves a third party:  a "Healer".    The Healer is not a mediator in the sense of being between you and God.  Rather a good healer helps you get out of your own way so that instead of blocking yourself from God, your connection to your Spiritual Source is clear and direct.  

Every distance healer has her own style.  When I "do" a remote healing I "ask" for pictures, images or ideas to be given to me so that I can help you connect to the part of yourself that knows how to heal.  As a medical intuitive, I can tell if you are "receiving" information from Source.  If  you are blocking a healing flow, I adjust something in my thinking or feeling or doing that helps you unclog your block.  I might have you change something to enhance the flow.  Once you begin allowing the healing, I step back and watch.  The profound emotional clearings, the tumors cooling down and the symptoms abating happen when you are simply receiving the healing from Source and I am simply Present with you.  

Remote healing is similar to prayer, in that God and you are doing the healing.   Remote healing differs from prayer in that belief and faith are less of a focus.   I encourage my clients to NOT believe (or disbelieve) that it is going to work, rather, OBSERVE CAREFULLY  how it is working so we can get the objective feedback we need to tweak what we are thinking, feeling or doing to receive healing.

An analogy is finding your lost car keys.  You believe with all your heart that they are somewhere in the house because you had to have them to get into the house.  That belief then starts you taking action.  You look in your coat pockets, the drawer, your purse…you retrace your steps.  When you find them it is because you went to where they were.  Remote healing is like that.  You may believe it is possible for Spiritual Forces to help you heal, but just sitting there with a general prayer in your heart is sort of like living in your house knowing that the keys will turn up sooner or later.  They might, but actively looking for them will usually get them found faster.  What if they fell down behind something that you never move?

Remote healing is actively looking for the keys to your healing with the help of a Guide who is familiar with where to look.   I don’t lose things that often, but when I do, if I can’t find them in a few minutes, I ask my husband to help.  Sometimes they were right in front of me and I couldn’t see them (or I was holding them!).  Having an experienced guide who can see from a different perspective is very helpful.

We live in a spiritual "soup" of information that can help us heal or transform anything.  Our unconscious patterns and habits can make this information invisible to us.  Having an intuitive Healer who can "see" where you are blocking this information can may all the difference in allowing the healing in.

Just like looking for keys, there is not a right way or a wrong way…it’s intuitive.  The important thing is that you find your keys! 

Here is a list of ways to consider as you seek spiritual support "keys" for your physical healing:

Can I help you?  Is the Community Healing Circle right for you?

That’s sort of like wondering if your keys are in your coat pocket.  If you are drawn to that possibility, check it out…it will be obvious.  No leaps of faith required…just some clear thinking and observation of the results you are getting. 

HOW does cancer remissions happen?   There are just too many "spontaneous remissions" to not get curious!   I have discovered some remarkable trends in my Octave Holistic Healing Approach™ to Natural Cancer Care. 

1. It’s gentle. My Octave Holistic Healing Approach™ strengthens the body and guides the cancer out.  Think of a toddler having a tantrum.  You are concerned that he is going to hurt himself and everything in the house as he flails around.   You can either physically restrain him, or you can distract him or guide him out of harms way where all that energy doesn’t hurt.   There are times and places for both approaches but it’s hard to do both at the same time.  My approach is gentle and reinforcing of every good thing the body is able to do towards healing.   I’ve noticed that my approach feels more "lively" in patients who have not had chemo or radiation.   If people get energy work the entire time they are getting chemo/radiation, that seems to work as well.   

2. There are predictable signs of what to look for when a tumor is healing.  I can tell when it is a good time to treat and when not to treat.  I know what a healing tumor looks and feels like, and what a "non-healing" tumor looks like.  As miraculous as it seems, it does follow lawful rules.  I always like to back up my clinical experience with blood tests and radiographic scans from the oncologist. 

3. The results often last (versus often not holding). For example, in my mentor Bill Bengston’s research, the mice that healed in response to energy work, were subsequently IMMUNE to further cancer. The trend applies to people as well. 

4. Pure living is optional. People can get better without getting perfect with their diet, environmental toxins and psychological issues. We do clean these up, but more as a way to consciously embrace the good things in life, not from fear of cancer. 

5. It saves you money. I worked with a man who was told that for $500,000.00 (basically all of his assets and then some), he could get treated for his cancer. He was told he would never be able to swallow normally again. He was given a 25% chance of living past a year with this investment.  He would most probably have a recurrence within five years and need another investment. My professional fees are barely drops in that bucket.

6.  You feel better (not worse) after a treatment. My out-of-town clients go to the beach and enjoy the day after their treatment.

Are you curious on what I do?   Read about it here. My most amazing results have come with patients who see me in-person and get remote healing "touch ups".

There are only so many people I can treat in a day, so I have recently started a Community Healling Circle for Those Touched by Cancer. This is a way to use the power of a group to enhance the healing of each other. I am hoping that it will become a powerful source of enhancing healing for people.  You can read about it here…Community Healing Circle.

• You will need 2-5 minutes of privacy and two objects that you can hold in your hands.  I like to use round Mochi rocks that are about 2 inches in diameter and have a little weight.  Crystals, tennis balls, or anything small enough to hold and large enough to squeeze and feel resistance will also work nicely. 
   
• Sit down holding a rock or other object in each hand.  Inhale and exhale.  Center yourself.
• Prayerfully ask that this 2-5 minute session be helpful in transforming some of your fear into love.  Assume that you don’t know how to consciously do this…really ask for help.
• Let the object in your left hand represent your illness and all the negative emotion attached to it.  Squeeze your object and  let yourself be PRESENT with what is manifesting physically and emotionally for you.  For example, if you have cancer, let yourself feel any physical and emotional pain or discomfort.    
• Now let the object in your right hand represent what you want.    Yes, you get to want whatever you genuinely want.   If you want healing, let yourself create a vision of that that would look like and feel like.  Squeeze your right hand when you feel you are clear about what you want.
• Now for the Sacred Magic.  Imagine that about 18 inches above your head is an place where you can connect to your Divine Blueprint of your highest potential.   If that is odd language for you, simply imagine that you have a spiritual connection to God up above your head.  
•  Breathe in the present moment.  All history has brought you to this NOW.  In this present moment, you have access to many possibilities.  On your inhale, bring the NOW down through your head and hold it in your heart.  Love it.  On your exhale send it out to the world and your body, improved by having been loved.  Especially send out this "newly loved" energy to both your right hand and your left hand.  Let it comfort what is hurting in your left hand.  Let it nourish your hope for the future in your right hand. 
• Breathe like this for 10-20 breaths…longer if you want.  You will notice that something changes in your relationship to what you hold in each of your hands. What happens is sacred and beautiful … greet it with gratitude.
• When you are finished (it doesn’t take long) bring both hands with their objects close to your heart and bless both aspects of your duality with the love that pumps your heart.  Feel it as Divine Love, Absolute Love, blending with your very personal and beautiful Human Love.  You can ask to love more and enjoy interacting with this stream-of-love that you are breathing into you.  

Do this several times and email me about the changes you experience.  I can’t wait to hear about any new perspectives, physical shifts, luck, opportunities, and new ease in functioning that come to you as a result.  

If you are able to go this far with me, you may also be interested in my Community Healing Circle.  When you email me with how you experienced the "Transforming Fear to Love" exercise, ask to be notified about the call-in number and you can be a "visiting" member of the Community Healing Circle–no charge for 2 weeks.   

When we face illness, it really helps to keep things simple.    Simple cause and effect, problem and cure, action and reaction.  We want to feel better NOW and we don’t have time to fuss and bother.  We may want to take a million supplements, do exotic spiritual exercises, feel our feelings, eat fresh local organic … but who has time?!

No one has time to waste, but sometimes in our rush to get relief, we can be so short-sighted that we complicate everything.  

In order to change something, we need to observe the whole situation.  If you are folding laundry, it is not about folding, it is about storing the clothing so it can be found and worn.  A cook considers availability of ingredients, appearance and preparation time just as important as the taste of the food.  If we have a physical ailment, we don’t have it in a vacuum under controlled conditions–it comes with a context.   When we only deal with physical things without their emotional and spiritual context, we end up busy going no-where, or getting unwanted side effects.

What if t  1 + 1 = much more than 2?

It happens all the time in nature’s sacred magic.  It’s called synergy.

Definition of Synergy:  "The interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects."  (Apple Dictionary) 

As amazingly miraculous as synergy is, it is actually the norm for nature, not the exception.  Sustainable ecosystems and efficient healing always work synergistically.  

For example,  your back and your finances heal together.  Your relationship and your cough both come to a new place.  You forgive someone and your cancer and your community are healed.  Holistic healing is not about using an herb instead of an antibiotic, or using acupuncture instead of a medication.   That is simply mechanistic thinking divorced from the creative spark.   The power of holistic healing is about looking at the whole situation and creating synergy.

Here is a process that may unlock synergy in your healing process: 

Step One.  Write down a physical aspect of your ailment and visualize it healed.

For example, if you want to be rid of your back pain, imagine doing something athletic that implies you have no pain.

Step two.   The List.

Write down a list of 50+ things you could do to fix your ailment.  This list is purposely longer than is possible to implement.  Brainstorm.   For example, you could take baths, apply essential oils, eat herbs, go to doctors, research approaches, get tests, go to various therapists, do EFT, pray, visualize, sleep, drink, …  Make it a long 50-item list.  As you get past the first ten or fifteen things, your creativity will start to kick in and things will occur to you that you were overlooking.  Do not stop at 30!  I’ve been doing holistic healing for so long and I have so many ideas of how to help things naturally that when I do this for myself, I need to go to 100 items to start tapping into my subconscious creativity.  Think of spiritual, emotional, functional and physical things you can do that would help your condition.  Push past the obvious.  If you don’t feel well, get a loved one to brainstorm with you.  As you think, do not omit solutions that you don’t have time, money or other resources for.  Include everything that comes to mind, as it may lead you to something else that you can do.  You may end up deciding to do the first thing that came to you, but it will have a very different context after reviewing your options.

Step Three.  Fasten Your Seat Belt.

Just as a really powerful synergistic solution to your ailment shows itself, fear or excitement will come up.  Is it a dread-filled warning or the excitement of a quantum leap?   Don’t ignore it.  Don’t cater to it. Observe it.  As uncomfortable as fear is and as ungrounding as excitement is, they are part of real synergistic transformation.   

Step Four.  Head-Heart-Hand Decision Making. 

Head:  Which things on your list make solid logical sense?
Heart:  When you contemplate an item, does your heart warm and soften?  It can be easy or difficult, but does your heart want to do it?
Hands:  What items can you do?  With synergistic solutions you always have the time and money and ability  to implement the next step of your chosen approach.  
A step taken in integrity with head and heart creates a change in the world.  Different resources open up.  Then you can courageously take your next step.

Step Five.  Give Thanks as You Take Action

Once you make your decision, give thanks to your Creator for connecting you with the information to do what you decided.  Your decision did not come out of no-where…it came from your Source.  Gratefully acknowledge the guidance and be prepared to tweak your decision as you progress down your path.  Don’t skip this step or you will miss information that is right under your nose.

Step Six.  Accept Support.

If this process appeals to you, I want to support you in doing it.  I know that reading email appeals to a short attention span and this exercise takes centered comtemplation.

I am offering a free 30 minute remote healing session to two lucky readers who do this process and write me about it.  If you have read this far, that could mean YOU.

I will select two people  from those that respond by March 31, 2012.   I am interested in how taking the 30 minutes or so to really settle yourself and ask for guidance affected your healing process.  Did you  your healing happen quicker and easier or more thoroughly?   

If you are selected, you will have 30 minutes to ask me anything you want about your condition.   I have over 30 years experience in natural medicine and am a walking encyclopedia of information.  If you want, I will do a remote healing as we talk.   If you are new to remote healing, you can check it out on my websitewww.spiritgate.com  

Even if you are not chosen, writing down your experience  and sending it to me will help you focus better.  I look forward to reading your mini-adventure with the process!  Have fun and allow a miracle!

Do you know someone that you think would like this process?  Please forward this email to them.
