Dear Adam, Hi. I just attended your October 25 workshop at Bastyr University. I wanted to say thank you for an inspiring workshop plus I enjoyed meeting you when you signed my "Intention Heals" book. I am a 50 year old single mom who has been involved the past 36 years with many different new age modalities like meditation, visualizations, energy healing, etc. I got involved with meditation at age 13 in 1972 not for health reasons but to help bring about world peace. I just wanted to say that I think it is so important that you inspire people to help heal themselves instead of just relying on the healer or guru to "save" the person. Too many new age healers (in my opinion) encourage people to depend on the teachers for advice instead of looking within to heal one's self. I think it is so wonderful that your family has been so supportive of you in your desire to help inspire others to heal themselves. That is so amazing that a young college student such as yourself cares so deeply about wanting to help others and our planet and utilizes your healing gifts and abilities in such an unselfish way to help guide others on their journey through life. Your science background is a real plus as it helps to explain the science behind the energy healing. Your pictures in your books showing how to do the visualizations are so important as a lot of people (like myself) are visual learners and seeing these pictures helps people to effortlessly apply this knowledge to themselves. Good luck in your studies at Bastyr University in becoming a naturopathic physician and hope your midterms went well this week! Take care! Marla J Bellingham, Washington
