                                            The key to solving all health concerns
                                     Dr. Michael D. Winer explains how working with
                               light and an emotional process can resolve health problems

HOOD RIVER, Ore. – What if there was a key to solving health issues once and for all, rather than simply managing them? According to Dr. Michael D. Winer, there is: treating issues affecting the metabolism of light.

“Light is the basic building block and nutrient for our body,” said Dr. Winer. “How we engage and interact with light has profound consequences for health, fulfillment and creativity."

He explains this concept in his new book Light Medicine: Evolving Our Body, Our Life, and Our Planet. The book is a guide to help people take charge of their life, health, and future through Dr. Winer's unique healing process. He explains the importance of an emotional healing process to take care of ourselves, to more effectively engage light, to resolve disease and dysfunction, to achieve optimal health benefits, and to realize our potential.

"By practicing the exercises in this book, people can take an active role in their health and personal development, " he said.

Dr. Winer shows that an effective emotional process can help people address all levels of their energy, from the physical to the most abstract. He is pioneering a new healing paradigm based on research showing how we use light and energy in our body determines whether we experience health or disease. Dr. Winer explains that emotional and energetic issues adversely affect how we use light and energy, leading directly to our health concerns.

According to Winer, "Our body and life are expressions of light and energy. We can develop and use them in unprecedented ways. Of particular interest, this work highlights the possibility of developing enhanced physical body function and new forms of human expression. To achieve these possibilities, we need to overcome limiting programs and emotional patterns. Instead of just playing out our programming and patterns, we can heal our limitations, realize more of our potential and become more fully alive."

2013 - A Year of Transition

            Wow! What a year… so far! From my experience, this is truly a time of change. Some transitions have been major, including births and deaths. And others have been relatively minor. But watching my own life and those of the people around me, this is a time when we need to be in the right place, right now. And to move there if we are not there already.

While it has been crazy hectic for me, as soon as my initiatives began, everyone and everything helped move them where they needed to be. As soon as I put my plans into motion, every event showed me that they were the right moves to make, and every step created greater movement and brought the changes to fruition quicker than anticipated.

The transition to a new business model has been smoother and much better for everyone than I expected. Once Betty and I decided to change our practice, literally everyone who crossed our path showed us that we made the perfect decision. It was the next step for everyone and we had to initiate it.

Then I decided to sell my condominium. Once I put it up for sale, offers came in that day and the sale was made in two days. It was time to leave Portland, but I had to take action. Now that I live in Hood River full-time, everything is easier and my time is freed up to pursue my heart’s desires.

Getting Book II out to the world has become an interesting adventure. A fun challenge to help it on its journey and to get it into the right hands. Without the time in my schedule, this would not have been easy to do.

            And I get to do so many things that I have wanted to do. Research is in full swing… it is amazing to see what my DNA is up to. I have worked on my genetic programming every day for the last few weeks… deeper and deeper I go. The input from my parents has been excruciatingly difficult to heal but so rewarding. Teaching the genetic energy that I have from my parents to heal, to want to heal, to let go of fears, to trust, to follow desires, to nurture… so cool! And the output (me, their offspring) gets to be freer and more in the flow of my Light. Also working on people this way has allowed me to develop my energy skills even more. I can do better work on physical body issues than ever before. And more profound work on people’s Light. So exciting! Certainly, this is just the beginning.

I am thrilled to be able to assist you on your journey of transition to a more fulfilling expression of your Light. And soon, the planetary healing work will begin again in earnest. May your Light shine brightly in the New Year!! And may we all create greater peace in the world.

Beauty and Healing in the African Bush – November 3-8, 2013

 Mariah and Jo created a magical retreat. We had a wonderful venue at Djuma Private Game Reserve, set in the African bush near the Kruger National Park in northeast South Africa. Then add in the masterful yoga, the healing, the incredible wild things, and the extraordinary people… a recipe for magic! Along with Priya, Conrad, Lilian, Abby, Melissa, Nina, and Rita, we shared five days immersed in healing, yoga, and the bush. Wow! Such amazing beauty shared with such courageous and amazing people!

Everyone discovered the Light at the core of their being and then everyone connected with everyone else’s Light. This was not a merging with other people’s Light, which would have been a disaster. It was a connection of one complete being to another. It was a life-changing opportunity and everyone took advantage of it to find a part of themselves that had been hidden for a long time.

I look forward to next year and another opportunity to share the expanded consciousness with another courageous group of people!

Retreat

Many concepts are easy to understand but elusive to experience. The true Self is one such concept. It sounds simple… the genuine part of us. That should be easy to recognize, right? But, in fact, I have never met anyone who could readily access it without significant, specific healing work.

Thus, when the recent retreat was being organized, I thought that the most useful healing work would focus on recognizing and shifting people’s identity from the impermanent parts of themselves to the genuine parts of themselves. The theme for the retreat became “Getting Real.”

We picked Ramsau as our location so that we could go cross-country skiing on the Dachstein Glacier in the morning and do the healing work in the afternoon. The skiing was spectacular! Beautiful weather and perfect snow!! Plus many of the world’s top athletes training there, too. Very fun to watch the best skiers motoring around on the glacier.

I guided Christine Schaar, Barbara Kaindl, Matthias Jakesz, and Barbara Jakesz to the genuine parts of their energy: the true Self, the Soul, the Kundalini, the Earth energy, the Yin and Yang Light, and into their Light itself. Everyone shifted their identity! Yay! It was wonderful to see everyone remember their core energy and become more real. Now, of course, more healing work is necessary to build on these experiences, but the foundation is established. And they will never be able to forget the real parts of themselves and go back to their old way of being… success!!

Stone Circle Adventures

There are over 1000 stone circles in the British Isles. They range in age from approximately 3500 to 5600 years old. Many theories exist about their origin and usage, mostly relating to celebration, astronomical phenomena, fertility, and death. 

My 2013 stone circle research project began in late April. I had an idea about their function and, in particular, how to use them. It was time to test my theory.

My first stop was Stonehenge, where I had signed up for private access to the site, which is usually roped off to the public. Once in the center of the innermost circle, I could tell immediately that my idea was incorrect. I was expecting it to work as a transporter and it was clearly not the case. Nonetheless, it was a fun experience. And there were lots of people chanting and acting weird, so I fit right in :) I also got my first kiss of the day from a witchy woman who threatened to drag me into the bushes to have her way with me.

At the next circle I visited, I paid more attention to the disequilibrium that I had first noticed at Stonehenge. I began to map how the second circle affected my energy. I could feel, monitor, and measure an alternate flow of energy in me. Several people there were curious about my study and, after explaining my work, I was rewarded with my second kiss of the day from another enthusiastic sensitive. I knew I must be on the right track :)

At the third circle, I again evaluated the disequilibrium in my energy and began my healing work. And that is where things began to get really interesting. Once I had resolved the disequilibrium, my energy stabilized at a much higher level. I was in an enhanced state of being in which everything smoothed out and there was an unusual feeling of lightness and well-being. From there it was a natural step to feel the whole of my energy and to feel it merge in my body focused at my lower Tan Tien. From this new perspective, it was obvious that, without healing, people would either not feel the disequilibrium, bounce out of their body, or have to leave the circle. And that was pretty much what I could see when I watched other people at these circles.

From that circle on, I went into super-healing mode and spent hours in every circle resolving the deep issues that arose. Every circle brought up different issues and every circle only revealed its secret energy once I had accomplished the requisite healing.

I visited 10 different circles and when I returned to Stonehenge on my last day, I put what I had learned to use. There I experienced the most profound sense of power that I have ever experienced.

In August, I returned to England to continue my education and research. I visited one new circle and attained the heightened energy state again. A few days later, a friend from South Africa, Mariah Betts, joined me to experience the circle healing work and to evaluate how to use yoga in conjunction with the healing work.

Our first adventure developed simply because of a traffic jam on the M4. After spending more time stuck in traffic than I could tolerate, we took a detour that led directly to Avebury, the largest circle in the British Isles. I had not planned to visit Avebury on this trip. The perfection of the detour was not lost on either of us.

We immediately set to work. Together, Mariah and I healed up our active issues and achieved a delightful state of elevated energy. Fun stuff!!  After that, we continued our journey, visiting four more circles and doing some remarkable healing.

When I dropped Mariah off at Heathrow, I picked up my next companions, Chelsea and Tyler Smith from Santa Cruz, California. Their interest had been piqued by what I had told them about my April visit to the circles and they decided they wanted a healing adventure, too.

We visited seven sites starting with the Roll Right Stones near Oxford. Our journey took us to Cumbria—the Lake District of England—then to sites in Wales, and finished at Avebury and Stonehenge. Swinside in Cumbria was probably the most exciting site that we visited, especially with all the amazing healing that Chelsea accomplished while the cows were wandering around us. As an added benefit, while visiting Keswick, Tyler helped evolve our eyewear and made our healing work look almost fashionable.

Tyler and Chelsea were courageous and relentless with their healing. The life-changing evolution of their energy was one of the most extraordinary events that I have witnessed on the path of healing.

Thank you, Mariah, Tyler, and Chelsea for making some magic with me!

Every trip I take...

Greetings!

With every trip I take, there is a transition period. I am transitioning to a different rhythm and flow that is not bound by the usual constraints. I am attuning to even more of my energy and expressing it in a more organic way. I am remembering that magic is what is normal. And that the mundane is an easy trap to fall into. It can easily sabotage our joy and reduce our life to meaninglessness.

With that in mind, I wanted to initiate a group meditation to support you in rediscovering or enhancing your sense of daily magic. And fortunately, it is quite simple. Sit in a quiet space. Focus on your 4th chakra. Create an orange ball of light in the chakra and stay focused on it. Notice that this helps you get some distance from the worries of your life and to separate from the worries of those around you.

Within this space, imagine being totally in the flow of what you would like to do, what you would like to create. You do not need to know exactly what that is, just the feeling of it. Now allow that feeling to flow through you and take over in you. Allow the magic of that flow to inspire you and guide you.

Do this every day for the next week. Start your day with it if you can and end your day with it as well. Let's create some magic!!

Party fun!

The book signing party was great! While I thoroughly enjoy crafting words to communicate about this healing work, it was wonderful to finally get books into people's hands. For me, this is the most fun part of the process of creating: to have people share this journey. It is some rich icing on the cake to see people start to move along the path that Book II traverses. Everyone seems so hungry to explore!

But the very best part of the party was having people who are into this work get to meet other people of a similar ilk. Most of my clients do not have many or any people to really relate with about the healing they are going through. And maybe even more importantly, it was great to watch people connect from the healthier place they have achieved! Everyone seemed to enjoy being able to connect without the usual junk that occurs between people. While it has always been my dream that we could create a different model for engaging with each other, it was truly exciting to see it actually happen. Yay for realizing more of our potential for deep, meaningful connections!

More parties please!!
