Take Wellness to a Deeper Level

Renee Lehman

(7/2017) If you have enjoyed my articles over the past, please consider joining me for the 14th annual Building Bridges of Integration for Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference. The 2017 Conference is entitled: Consciousness, Self-Discovery, and Everyday Health (highlighting self-discovery, the inner awareness that illuminates the vital link between consciousness and everyday health). It is being held September 14-17 at the Hyatt Regency, Reston, VA.

The Building Bridges Conference is America’s premier educational event on body–mind–spirit healing. This is a landmark conference which has introduced conference attendees to an innovative framework that connects timeless ancient wisdom with the latest advances in modern science (quantum physics). Healthcare professionals (whether conventional, complementary, or integrative practitioners), and those with a thirst to live healthy, joyful lives will experience an unforgettable three days.

This unique perspective illuminates a deeper understanding of humans as energy beings. In many of my articles I have written about Qi (pronounced chee), the wise and intelligent Universal Life Force that runs through all living things. I have also written articles dealing with Oneness. Modern science tells us that everything is energy (Qi) and everything is connected. All that is, is part of the Universe. Nothing exists in isolation. Based on these discoveries, health, and healing can be viewed as a window into the body’s quantum information framework. During the conference speakers will use the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) framework to show how healing goes beyond the physical level, thus revealing that we are an expression of Oneness and Universal love.

The Answer is Within

Healing becomes a journey to reclaim your true purpose and become aligned with your inner blueprint. This personal and ultimately private journey is one of self-discovery. Health and wellness occur when you access your "innernet," not the internet! Through self-discovery, we recognize our connection to the universe and that nothing is separate.

"Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized." - Osho

"Everything is energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another." - Albert Einstein

"Neither will they say,‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you." - Luke 17:21

Over the past 14 years, this conference has offered a revolutionary energetic framework (based in TCM) for bringing the whole person into balance and harmony. This framework views health and well-being from the angle that consciousness, self-discovery and health are deeply connected. Conference presenters show how this is possible. The sessions are thoughtfully integrated with practical information for to participants discover how to gain optimal health and enhance daily life. "Tools" are offered to support the understanding of body-mind-spirit integration for the purposes of self-discovery and healing.

How is this Conference Different?

The uniquely developed agenda purposely weaves focused workshops, Qigong practices, evening dialogues with presenters and colleagues. There are also opportunities to receive healing Lifeforce: Tao of Medical Qigong sessions. The Building Bridges for TCM Conference draws our participants back year after year. It provides a way to understand how true health and wellness result from multidimensional influences of emotions and spirit. Healthcare practitioners leave this conference with tools of prevention, self-care and self-cultivation for themselves and for their patients that encompass body-mind-spirit medicine. I have been attending the conference since 2009, and have learned valuable, practical ways to support my clients as they transform their health.
