- no doubt many times removed from the source – that it was written by
someone at Lawrence Livermore Lab, where my father worked at the time.
It was with great joy and amazement, when I, through our common love of
puns, decades later, shared this with Leonard, learned that he was the

Art & Science of Healing with Love: Sante Fe, NM – Science and Consciousness Conf. – April 1, 2009

February 18, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Seminars, Events

Coming into wholeness through loving presence, beyond conditioning and concept, the enormous energy we use to maintain the illusion of separation from truth, from Source, from Oneness, is liberated. Then, using conscious choice as attention and intention, this energy can be cohered in the heart and directed to heal the physical body, one’s own and others, resolve emotional issues, and support spiritual unfoldment in its uniqueness and unity.

Presentation – The Art & Science of Healing with Love – April 1, 2009
The International Conference on Science and Consciousness

Hilton Buffalo Thunder Resort Hotel, Santa Fe, NM

This seminar will blend experiential process with ancient wisdom and recent scientific research on the efficacy of loving energy in facilitating healing on all levels.

As the mind rests and the heart opens, the truth of who we are—in the deepest sense—is finally revealed. The search for love ends the moment we discover it to be ever present within.

Hear Dr. Leonard Laskow present on April 1st at the Eleventh International Conference on Science and Consciousness in Santa Fe, NM at the Hilton Golf Resort and Spa at Buffalo Thunder running March 27th to April 1st. Dr. Laskow’s book, Healing With Love, will be sold at the bookstore.

Seminar: West LA: Opening To Oneness Through Loving Presence – April 24-26, 2009

February 16, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Seminars, Events

Early Registration for the West Los Angeles Seminar has been extended to April 14!

Despite the appearance of conflict, humanity is experiencing an acceleration of the awakening process. Now, in a matter of days instead of lifetimes, it is possible to realize your true nature. This seminar provides the opportunity to directly experience the loving presence that you really are beyond the conditioning and concepts of who you think you are. In opening to the oneness underlying our uniqueness, we are divinely embraced.

Using step-by-step processes that blend ancient wisdom with modern scientific research, you will be encouraged to release the limitations that veil your essential nature. These practices help to quiet the mind, bring you more peace, joy, and abundance, and allow an intuitive, loving presence to unfold. It is this loving presence that empowers you to:

  • Clear personal conditioning and “treasured” wounds that foster pain, illness, and suffering
  • Support your body to heal, unimpeded by mental and emotional blocks
  • Create what is most wanted in your life
  • Open to divine grace, the true source of awakening

This workshop is suitable for therapists and helping professionals as well as all those interested in exploring a loving presence.

As the mind rests and the heart opens, the truth of who we are is revealed.
The search for love ends the moment we discover it to be ever present within ourselves.

The Gift of Love – The Origin of Valentine’s Day

Recorded at Unity In Marin, Novato, California

Partial transcription:

It’s an honor to be here today to share with you a celebration of love. Isn’t it amazing that our society has set aside a day devoted to the celebration of love? Of course, there are commercial interests which are perpetuating this, and that’s fine too. There is a lot of room for the heart in commerce as well.

Now it’s interesting that we don’t call this “love’s day”, we call it Valentine’s Day. When I was asked to present here, I became curious about why we call it Valentine’s Day. Some of you may know the story of Valentine’s Day. I found it very interesting. Valentinus was a Christian martyr who lived in 270AD in Rome. And because of his belief in Christ he was sentenced to death. He refused to recant his beliefs. The Roman Emperor at the time was Claudius II. While Valentinus was awaiting the carrying out of his sentence, his jailor noticed that he was a very learned man. The jailor had a daughter, her name was Julia, and she was blind from birth. And he asked Valentinus if he would be so kind as to teach Julia the things that he knew. Valentinus agreed. And so he taught her mathematics and history. He taught her about the world.

She was with him the night before his sentence was to be carried out. She asked him if God hears all our prayers. He replied that God does what is best for all of us, and He hears everything, and if you really believe then what happens, happens for your best interests. And so she said, “You know what I pray for every night and every morning? I pray that I can see all the wonderful things that you’ve told me about and that you’ve described.” He said that if you believe, and it should be so, it will be so. She said, “I do believe, I do believe.” Suddenly there was a radiance that filled the room, filled the space; a radiance in the emptiness, as it were. Suddenly she cried out, “I can see. I can see.” This is a documented experience. That night he wrote to her and said, “Always continue to believe and hold God in your heart.” And he signed it “your Valentine.” His sentence was carried out the next day. Julia planted an almond tree at his grave. He is buried at a place that is now called The Porto Valentini in Rome. There is an almond tree that blossoms every year that is said to be the one that Julia planted. Wonderful story, isn’t it?

It is only when it’s taken away, really, that we realize how blessed we are just to be able to see, to have physical sight. And we are equally blessed with spiritual sight or insight into the core of our being; into the loving awareness that’s our essential nature. When our loving heart becomes the eye through which we look at the world around us, what is it that we see? We see the web of life. We see all forms interconnecting, arising, relating, subsiding back into the formless one sometimes called the void, the ocean of awareness, the Source of everything/nothing. Call it God, whatever the word is you want to use for the unknown, unknowable beyond the known. So on this day, when we say to our loved ones “I love you”, what are we really saying? Words are sign posts that point to something. So what does the word “love” point to? Just go within for a moment and explore what the word “love” points to for you.

What comes up frequently are thoughts, feelings, sensations in the space of awareness called “I”. So let’s look at these three words. I love you. I, me, or subject, loves you, object. Now what if the distinction or separation between subject and object was just a perceptual illusion created by the mind and its extension of the senses? What if subject/ object, “I,” “you,” observer and observed were not ever really separate, but only appear to be? What would be left of “I love you” if at a deeper level there was no separate “I” or “you”? What would be left is “love;” the thoughts, the feelings and especially a felt sense of connectedness called love. And what is this felt sense of connectedness? In the world of form it is energy. What is energy, its essence is movement or vibration? What is it that’s moving? Ultimately it’s the void, space; the stillness that’s full of potential; the faster the movement, the higher the vibrational frequency, the greater the energy. Let’s look at this for a moment. When something is moving back and forth, it comes to a place where it stops before it moves in the opposite direction; so it is moving back and forth, back and forth; movement and stop, movement and stop. As the energy increases its movement, stop, movement, stop, until, as you can imagine, the energy is so high and it’s moving so fast that the stops overlap the movement. Then what do you have? Once again, the stopping and movement overlap and become the void, or no thing, pure total potential, the ocean of awareness.

I was in Bali a number of years ago and I saw a wonderful Balinese dance. Those of you who are aware of Balinese music know there’s a lot of energy, a lot of movement. Suddenly, at one point, everything just stopped. The dancer was totally still, but so full of energy that it overwhelmed the whole room, and yet not one movement was made. It was awesome. The same thing happened when I went to hear Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra in Carnegie Hall playing the Ode To Joy years ago when I was a medical student. In the forth movement of Beethoven’s 9th there’s a crescendo and then everything just stops. That stillness was more powerful than the whole choir and all the music. It was really awesome. So nothing moves and becomes something; these quantum fluctuations of the void that create the waves, the particles.

A revered sage from India, Nisargadatta, said “When I recognize that I am everything that is love. When I recognize that I am no thing, that is wisdom, and my life flows between the two.” He could have added, when I recognize that I am no thing, that is peace. The every thing is fullness, the vibrancy, energy, passion. We call it passion. The no thing, the space, the stillness is peace. And love expresses and experiences itself as both the passion and the peace; cyclically or alternately, and also simultaneously unfolding in the totality of being. The peace and the passion of love–that radiant emptiness Julia felt with Valentinus; the dazzling darkness, really the source and the resolution of duality. So how does love’s passion lead to love’s peace? Love’s passion seeks unity; that’s the passion—it is seeking to become one again. When it finally merges with the unity that it seeks, what happens to the seeking, the searching, the desiring for the one? It stops. All movement, all seeking ends and only stillness remains; only the peace remains. When I recognize that I am everything, one with everything, then there’s no wanting anything because I already am everything. No wanting anything to be different from the way it is because I am all of it. So this ultimate passion of love, this alive desireless presence is simultaneously the peace of love. We are both the passion and the peace of love, love’s form and formlessness, a delicious drop of love that dissolves into the unknowable, unspeakable one, only to reappear as the love dance of unity.

Self-Awakening: The Foundation of Healing With Love

Excerpts from an interview by Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove, Thinking Allowed
series

DR. MISHLOVE: A moment ago at the end of our last segment, you
suggested that love and truth and awareness – pure awareness – are all
the same.

DR. LASKOW: Uh huh.Yes, let me explain what I meant by that. This is
an insight that came through. Love seeks unity. And when love finds the
unity that it seeks, what happens to the love? It ceases because, for
love to exist, there must be that which is loved. In other words, the
essence of love is –

DR. MISHLOVE: Attraction.

DR. LASKOW: Well it is relativity, duality, something between.In
order for attraction to exist, there has to be more than one.

DR. MISHLOVE: Yes.

DR. LASKOW: So love becomes aware of its connection, its attraction,
and desires to merge with it.What happens to the movement of love once
it realizes the object of its love?

DR. MISHLOVE: Well then there is self-love, I would think.

DR. LASKOW: Yes.

DR. MISHLOVE: The is ness of love.

DR. LASKOW: Yes, well when love finds that which is seeks, it merges
with it.And even love disappears into stillness.So stillness is another
metaphor for pure awareness – emptiness, nothingness,
everything/nothing, the ground of being.In the same way, knowing seeks
truth.And when it merges with that which it seeks, it too
disappears.There is only the truth.There is no knowing.There is the
truth.And that is stillness as well.

DR. MISHLOVE: Referring, for example, to the quiet mind of a
meditator.

DR. LASKOW: Exactly, exactly.Of course, I mean, the ultimate seeking
of truth is to become one with source and that which seeks it disappears
into the one.You can do that.There are the known paths to doing that,
the path of the Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga –

DR. MISHLOVE: Uh huh, then yogis of knowledge and the yogis of
devotion.

DR. LASKOW: Exactly.And the karma yogic path of action.And once
you’ve completed your action, there’s only the stillness.The action
disappears.

DR. MISHLOVE: Uh huh.

DR. LASKOW: There is no doer, there is no doing, there is only, as
you said, the “is ness.”So ultimately the paths of truth, the path of
love, and the path of action lead to the same peak – awareness itself,
present awareness.Is ness, stillness.

DR. MISHLOVE: Really, I do concur with you, but I am aware that in
the literature, for example, you have some very eloquent writers, the
existentialists, for example, who talk about the horror of the
stillness, the agony of being totally isolated, totally in nothingness,
you know, Sartre, Camus have all written very powerfully about that
state of nothingness as part of the terror of existential reality.

DR. LASKOW: Yes.And that is because the perception takes place from
the position of the mind, looking at the emptiness.And that is what’s so
beautiful about any self-awakening process.When you shift from the
context of mind to the context of pure awareness, there is just in the
stillness peace.And then you can look back at the discontented mind, the
mind that has a fear that it is nothing.And that’s the truth –

DR. MISHLOVE: The ego or mind is terrified of its own annihilation
and yet that is precisely what the mystic seeks.

DR. LASKOW: That is exactly so.But the key thing is the
misidentification with the body/mind.As long as we’re identifying, which
is I have to say natural to the human condition –

DR. MISHLOVE: Sure.It’s kind of a biological imperative.

DR. LASKOW: Yes. It’s the human condition.We’ve come in here with
this condition and reversing it is part of the evolutional imperative of
spirituality.

Journey to Wholeness through the Way of the Heart

A three-day journey of healing with the energy of the whole through the wisdom of the heart and the spirit of the horse. In this transformative workshop, participants experienced Holoenergetic® Healing, a system of energy healing that traces illness, suffering and distress to its source—apparent separation from the whole—and transforms these energies of separation into unitive love. Through a connection with horses and nature participants had the opportunity to gain awareness of energy patterns that can create illness and bring healing to those areas of life.

Facilitators: Dr. Leonard Laskow and Allison Ingels, anEquine Assisted Life Coach, specializing in living powerfully beyond cancer and healing from the heart. She facilitates equine experiential learning for personal, professional, and spiritual growth and is an Approved Horse Wisdom Instructor.

Previous experience with horses is unnecessary.

Age of Aquarius

Hi all:

Here’s an article that seems to fit perfectly with the Gift of Love program from Dr. Laskow.

Dear Friends,
This is one of the best readings for the coming age.
Enjoy, Anita

The Aquarian alignment of 14th February 2009
Dear friend,
In mid February a rare astrological concentration brings together a
number of planets together with the North Node – denoting higher
purpose – in Aquarius that energizes and inspires the possibility for
transcendental breakthrough in some perhaps seemingly intransigent
situations.
We measure our global sense of both space (longitude) and time
(universal time – UT or GMT) from the prime meridian located at
Greenwich, England. So we can perceive the collective influence of
this momentous astrological event by looking at the alignment from
this globally ‘centered’ perspective.
When we do something extraordinary and exquisite emerges
At dawn on 14th February the day dedicated to St Valentine, the patron
saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of
relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the
twelfth house of spiritual transformation.
Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song called Aquarius,
brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:
When the Moon is in the seventh house
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets
and love will steer the stars
At dawn on 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect
alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace
and dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
The Aquarian chart of 14th February reveals an incredible
concentration of cosmic influences blending with the energies of
Aquarius in the twelfth house. Expansive Jupiter and energetic Mars
are aligned with the higher purpose of the North Node. The presence of
Chiron the wounded healer offers us the opportunity to heal the
schisms that have separated us for so long. Neptune emphasizes
collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social
justice. And the presence of the radiant Sun enlightens the entire
alignment.
Mercury also in the twelfth house but just beyond the cusp in
Capricorn, allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and
anchor the Shift throughout our global structures and institutions.
The Moon in Libra in the seventh house emphasizes harmonious real –
ationships.
Venus in Aries in the first house energizes and empowers dynamic co-
creativity.
And whilst Saturn the great task master in opposition to Uranus the
unexpected awakener is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the
dregs of the unsustainable old paradigm reluctantly give way to the
untested hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings
practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.
At 7.25am on 14th February – and for the 18 minutes of the alignment,
I invite you, in the universal heart, to add your own intention for
love and peace and to co-create the dawning of the Age of Aquarius to
that of the Cosmos. In whatever way feels appropriate for you, you may
choose to align with7.25am (UT) or 7.25am your own local time
energizing a wave of intention that will surge around the Earth.
Please feel free to circulate this information, the Aquarian chart
and its cosmic invitation to birth the Age of Aquarius.

With love, joy and gratitude in the universal heart,
Jude

• Experiment with heart focused energies to demonstrate their presence and potential.
• Learn specific healing techniques using heart focused energy.Imagine embarking on a guided meditative journey into your past and discovering that the seeds of your present physical, mental or emotional problems were actually painful past experiences that were frozen inside you.
Holoenergetics® is a mind/body therapy that allows us to recognize the limiting beliefs and dysfunctional energy patterns associated with painful past experiences. It then empowers us to release this energy, reform the beliefs and ultimately heal its present physical, mental or emotional expression. The seemingly miraculous results obtained by Holoenergetics® can be explained by the combination of scientific and quantum principles employed by Dr. Leonard Laskow in developing this transformational process.


These principles are outlined in Dr. Laskow’s book “Healing with Love.”


“As the mind rests and the heart opens, the truth of who we are is revealed. The search for love ends the moment we discover it to be ever present within ourselves.”
