Caroline Myss

NYT Bestselling Author of 5 Books including Sacred Contracts and Anatomy of the Spirit

Caroline Myss is a five-time New York Times bestselling author and internationally renowned speaker in the fields of human consciousness, spirituality and mysticism, health, energy medicine, and the science of medical intuition. Caroline established her own educational institute in 2003, CMED (Caroline Myss Education), which offers a diverse array of programs devoted to personal development and draws students from all over the world. In addition to hosting a weekly radio show on the Hay House network, Caroline maintains a rigorous international workshop and lecture schedule. After completing her Master’s degree, Caroline co-founded Stillpoint Publishing and headed the editorial department, producing an average of ten books a year in the field of human consciousness and holistic health. Simultaneously Caroline refined her skills as a medical intuitive, with the assistance of C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon. Caroline developed the field of Energy Anatomy, a science that correlates specific emotional/psychological/physical/spiritual stress patterns with diseases. Her research proved so accurate that it became the subject matter of a book co-written by Caroline and Norm: THE CREATION OF HEALTH. In 1996, Caroline released ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT, a New York Times bestseller that has been published in 28 languages and has sold over 1.5 million copies. Through the investigation of the underlying reasons why people sabotage their healing processes, Caroline identified a syndrome she calls “Woundology,” characterized by a person’s reliance on the power of illness for manipulation of his or her world, as opposed to attaining an independent, empowered state of health. As with her other seminal research, this syndrome is now a recognized psychological condition. Her third book, WHY PEOPLE DON’T HEAL AND HOW THEY CAN, became another New York Times bestseller. Caroline then pursued her interest in the language of symbols, myths, and archetypes, conducting research that enabled her to profile an individual’s “Sacred Contract,” a complex of 12 archetypal patterns that reflect in mythic language the agreements the soul made prior to birth. Based on this work, Caroline released SACRED CONTRACTS, which became her third New York Times bestseller. It is published in 18 languages and posts sales of well over 1.6 million copies. In 2003, Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television program with the OXYGEN network in New York City, which ran successfully for one year. Since then Caroline has published several more books and continues to speak and teach all around the world.

Dr. Sue Morter:

The Energy Codes®:  Awaken Your Spirit, Heal Your Body and Live Your Best Life

Everything is energy, including you! Quantum Science is showing us, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that everything in our world – including our thoughts, feelings and beliefs – is energy held in different patterns. These patterns are the basis of our reality, impacting our perceptions, our vitality and even our health. Learning the truth of who we are as energy beings, we become powerful creators of our life experience.

In this thought-provoking presentation, Dr. Sue Morter, describes her journey as a doctor who had a spontaneous awakening to the Soulful Self, codifying the process of guiding others to do the same. Based in Quantum Science, Neuroscience and Energy Medicine, The Energy Codes teach us how to train the mind to serve the great intuitive presence that we truly are, by listening to the unspoken language from within the deep core of the body – a true celebration of the human spirit.

Learning to shift from living in our heads and the stress created there, to claiming the benefit of living in our wholeness has never been needed more.  Our current times are calling us to awaken a greater version of ourselves, and experience the life we were intended to live.  Dr. Sue guides us to this greater understanding with her fun, uplifting, and inspired presentation style, sure to change your life!

Caroline Myss: Exploring and Honoring Your Soul’s Sacred Contract

Sacred Contracts are “soul documents,” life assignments that are encoded within your psyche and soul in the symbolic language of archetypes. Archetypes are universal patterns of power that you have been using all of your life to organize your thoughts and emotions, as well as the means through which you assess every person you meet.

During this fascinating workshop, you’ll learn how:

  • To identify your archetypal patterns helps you to understand the source and nature of your feelings and passions.
  • Your life choices change when you begin to recognize the difference between an option and a Sacred Contract.
  • to “Know Thyself,” by discovering a profile of who you are according to twelve archetypal patterns and the myths of power that they represent
  • Access the power to attain is authentic, healthy self-esteem.

When you have a sense of your Sacred Contracts, you learn that your destiny is part of a much bigger plan. How would your life change by knowing your Sacred Contract?
