What Do We Really Need?
by Gina Angelique
One of the great opportunities that arise from economic crisis is the hastening to reevaluate what we need. Quickly, we understand how important it is to use our money with clear intentions of supporting greener, more sustainable and less corporate endeavors.
If we only have $20 to spend, we can buy five green tea latte grandes or, we can get a ticket to San Diego IndieFest and see over 80 bands and films in one adventurous and art-enriched day. Personally, I’ll brew my own for that trade off!
I trek back to my hometown every March from Northern California specifically for San Diego IndieFest. I care that much—all 24 car-confined hours of the drive—that my kids get the chance to experience an abundant day of art, enlightenment, diversity, creativity, activism, and positive spirit. I want their senses to be inundated for a day of so that we can reflect and absorb the experiences for the ensuing year on our little farm until the next fest comes around.
My life is now dedicated to healing the earth, our communities, and our health. I believe first that our bodies and dance are the source of the radical transformation that so many of us seek—change where our intentions cultivate peace and justice, rather than terror and destruction. But there’s a second aspect to my version of modern medicine and health, and that’s community. For me, the essential question is: What will bring us together? Around what will we rally to realize our community potential? Festivals in and of themselves hold great value for me; the act of people coming together in celebration begins to balance our frequent inundations of a despairing world. But IndieFest in particular unites us around music, the fine work of talented craftspeople, food and drink from small, un-chained businesses, free and provocative thought, movies fueled by the hunger for social justice, people from diverse regions and religions, activism opportunities, and many reasons to dance. That’s healthy in my book.
Best of all, IndieFest gives us a conscious choice about whom we’re going to bankroll with the few greenbacks we have left. So join us on March 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for over 85 acts on seven stages, three of which are free. This extravaganza of independent music, film, art, business and thought will take place in San Diego’s North Park on and off University Ave. between Kansas and 30th Streets. The festival is all ages, all fun, and best of all, Indie.

Exploring The Next Level of Healing
by M. Darren Gregor
A new science is emerging that is changing our traditional understanding of healing. Leading the way are two world-renowned scientists, William Tiller, PhD and Gary Schwartz, PhD with their studies of Reconnective Healing®, first discovered by Eric Pearl, DC. The profound results of their research quantifying the effects of this new form of energy healing is reverberating throughout the scientific community.
Dr. Tiller, Professor Emeritus of Stanford University, author of eight books and 250 scientific papers, and star of the recent film, What The Bleep!?, has been conducting research on how the physical properties of a room or space change as a result of energy healing frequencies entering that area. When Dr. Tiller conducted his experiments on Reconnective Healing frequencies in 2006, he found the results extraordinary enough to repeat the study in 2007. According to Dr. Tiller, this new, more comprehensive bandwidth of healing frequencies brings healing “beyond just what has been classically known as energy healing into a broader spectrum of energy, light and information.”
Dr. Tiller found that these intelligent frequencies begin changing the quantum field effects of the room, or “conditioning the space,” days before the seminars even begin. This dramatically increases the “excess free thermodynamic energy” in the room so significantly that, if this were simply “energy healing,” the temperature of the room would had to have increased by 300 degrees centigrade! In other words, the amount of energy, light and information charging the room increased, palpably and dramatically.
Dr. Tiller continues: “This shift of energy is what allows normal human beings to enter a room and later to walk out with an ability to heal others and themselves, regardless of their background or education.”
In another study, Dr. Schwartz, along with Dr. Melinda Connor at the University of Arizona, focused their research on Reconnective Healing Seminar attendees. In 2006 and again in 2007, Dr. Schwartz and his colleagues conducted their “baseline energy healing” studies which measured people’s abilities to work with, feel, transmit and receive light and other electromagnetic frequencies before and after they attended a Reconnective Healing seminar. Dramatically, of the more than 90 people who participated in the study, all walked out with permanently expanded and new electromagnetic abilities following the seminar, whether or not they had ever studied healing or had ever been masters or teachers of the various energy healing techniques known today, old or new.
The impact of such studies is that traditional science and medicine can no longer approach health and healing the same way as before. New scientific exploration is paving the way towards validating the powerful effects that energy, light and information can have on people.
