Medical Intuitive Caroline Sutherland will be in booth #311 through the weekend. She will also be delivering two lecture demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday. Caroline, the author of The Body Knows, published by Hay House, has worked as a Medical Intuitive for 20 years. "I got my start as an allergy testing technician and physician assistant in an environmental medicine clinic where I frequently received inner guidance related to the patients," says Caroline.

Medical Intuition, now considered one of the hottest topics in alternative medicine, is the ability to see beyond the normal levels of perception, into subtle levels below. Caroline's ability to hear a voice, see a photograph, or meet a person and receive intuitive impressions regarding health problems is a special gift. She intuitively perceives food allergies, environmental factors, compromised systems and processes — the G.I. tract, immune function, hormone imbalances, weight problems, underlying causes, when they began and what precipitated them. She also offers individual suggestions regarding diet, supplements, botanicals, homeopathy, complementary modalities, and more. Her suggestions have transformed the lives of over 60,000 people.

"I met Louise Hay serendipitously in 1999 when she was attracted to my work. I worked with her as a client, and as her health improved significantly, she approached me to write The Body Knows for Hay House. The last few years have been very exciting being involved in the intuitive side of medicine."

Caroline's lecture entitled "The Gift of Medical Intuition" will be presented on Saturday and Sunday at 10:00am. She will also offer Medical Intuitive Assessments for General Health Concerns, Weight Loss, and Menopause at the Embassy Suites O'Hare on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the 13th -- 15th. Call 800/575-6185 to register. Her web address is www.carolinesutherland.com.

Jan Kupiec
Jan Kupiec will be available at her booth, #308, for Reiki treatments and Angel Therapy sessions. Jan is a Usui and Karuna Reiki master practitioner who, after many years in the corporate world, came to realize that her calling was in the healing arts. Her journey has led her through a variety of techniques. She has concentrated on Reiki and Angel Therapy which is taught by Doreen Virtue. Jan says, "I've been blessed with the ability to facilitate healing and plan to study and share the various systems for the rest of my life."

Reiki is universal life energy which practitioners channel through their own bodies into the client's. It penetrates and surrounds the client, bringing about deep healing on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Jan opted to master both Usui and Karuna Reiki because, "I felt that the combination of the two energies would provide me with a deeper healing capability. Usui penetrates on a cellular level while Karuna also surrounds the client. These techniques seek to bring about balancing of the chakra system, reducing stress, pain, anxiety and illness."

Angel Therapy, as taught by Doreen Virtue, utilizes a system of card reading, chakra clearing and balancing, and the channeling of the client's own guardian angel. Sometimes other angels and significant people who have crossed over will come through as well.

At her booth, Jan will be providing Reiki treatments, angel readings, chakra balancing and channeling. "I'm really looking forward to sharing these various healing modalities with any who are guided to stop by my booth and experience the work."

Art Leidecker, Leidecker Institute
Hypnotist Art Leidecker will be at the Expo throughout the weekend and will be giving a lecture on Neuro-Subliminal Communication. He will also be demo Light and Sound Machines as well as promoting his new CruiseAndLearn Programs for Hypnotherapy Certification on Caribbean and Alaskan cruises.

Art has been working with hypnotism since 1970 and it became a full time second career since his early retirement in 1987. "I have found hypnotism to be extremely fascinating with limitless possibilities. I really enjoy helping people, and this modality can be used to help anyone reach their full potential. I began using self-hypnosis for personal development and found that it expanded my horizons tremendously."

Neuro-subliminal Communication, a phrase coined by Art, is the advanced study of body language and the part of the brain responsible for unconscious gestures. "Previous books contained errors, omissions and misunderstandings because of a lack of knowledge of how the brain causes these gestures. Therapists, psychologists, hypnotists and counselors that understand N-sC gain a powerful sensory advantage. Truth can easily be distorted by the spoken word. Unconscious gestures however are just that, unconscious. They provide an additional level of understanding by illuminating why the person says what they say. This sensory advantage can also be useful for anyone in everyday living. It can answer questions like: does he or she really like me, is this the best price, am I hearing the truth, can I trust this person, do you like what I'm saying, do you dislike what I'm telling you, and does your verbal response match your true feeling."

The CruiseAndLearn program combines business and pleasure. It provides a venue for fulfilling two agendas, fun and learning. "When you think about it, this really makes sense. You get your vacation, lodging, meals, transportation and hypnotherapy certification training all for one low tuition expense. For many people it is tax deductible as well. During the program's inaugural year I am including the cruise free with the hypnotherapy certification training tuition."

For more information you can call the Leidecker Institute at 847/844-1933 or visit their website at www.brightfuture.org.

Keith Rector, The Spiritual Unfoldment Network
Keith Rector of The Spiritual Unfoldment Network will be in booth #228 through the weekend demonstrating spiritual systems from around the world. The Spiritual Unfoldment Network offers attunements for spiritual advancement form Hawaii, Tibet, India, Egypt, Taoism and many others.

TSUN is a non-denominational teaching organization that brings esoteric spiritual traditions to the public without dogma or dictating the Path. Irving Feurst founded the network in 1990 to teach spiritual healing and advancement. Based in northern California there are now thirty teachers over the world. The attunements offered bring in specific frequencies of subtle energies.

Many cultures from around the world use subtle energies as in Reiki for healing meditation and purification. Different systems work with different aspects, and individuals have different needs at different times in life. "I myself am current qualified to offer 45 different classes and workshops. These come from many traditions," says Keith. "The Huna system from Hawaii is very heart oriented and grounding and this is good for people who live in their heads a lot. The Tibetan Drisana system pushes one faster spiritually, working more with the third eye. Miraculous Vessels is a Taoist class that works with the glands and includes a powerful meditation. These attunement-based classes open energy channels to improve health and longevity and facilitate spiritual advancement."

The Spiritual Unfoldment Network has published a book titled, The Jack Of All Subtle Energies, by Keith Rector. It includes information about many spiritual systems, their healing potentials, and is about cutting off decades of time attaining spiritual enlightenment.

Keith will be offering free energy sample sessions at his booth and at his lecture. He will remain in the Chicago area the week following the Expo giving individual and group classes. On Saturday the 19th he will be conducting a workshop at Healing Earth Resources at 9:00 am for Huna and 1:00 pm for Drisana. Keith can be reached at his office by calling 831/479-3296.

Mark LeTourneau, The Raelian Movement
Mark LeTourneau of the Raelian Movement will be in booth #327 throughout the weekend. He will also be presenting a lecture on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. The Raelian movement is an organization that is preparing the welcoming of the extraterrestrials who created humankind scientifically.

The movement was founded by Rael, who in 1973 met an extraterrestrial in France. He was brought to their planet and among other things was taught a sensual meditation technique. "This technique allows an individual to increase the bandwidth of the connection to the universe inside and outside the body through the senses", say Mark who is the representative for the Midwest. "It also helps to increase telepathic ability. I became involved with the movement in 1977 and I have been involved ever since."

"Sensual Meditation may seem to be an oxymoron to many people because meditation generally seems to be about moving away from the senses. We also have meditations for disconnection but those are primarily for rest. But we agree with the extraterrestrials that it is only by going through the senses that we can connect to our bodies and the universe. The awakening proceeds through using, improving and refining the senses. The pleasure of using the senses is a great tool."

"The basic technique seeks to increase harmony and connectivity between the meditator and the environment inside and outside. We sit or lie down comfortably and start to be aware of the inside of the body from the feet to the brain. Then we feel the outside of the body and try to locate where we are, the house the town, the country, the world and on out to the infinite cosmos."

"Being connected to the world brings peace to us and others. You don't want to be violent or to destroy what you are part of. You reach higher levels of consciousness which brings the world to a higher level of consciousness. Our techniques start with the individual but can include couples and even sexuality. Sensuality encompasses all the pleasures associated with the senses."

Mark LeTourneau is a licensed counselor and researcher with a Masters degree in Statistics who has worked with the Touch Institute in Miami.

Health Care
Dr. Alan Bain will be in booth #620 throughout the weekend. He will be doing a lecture titled Mechanisms of Metaphysical Healing on Saturday, October 12 at 10 am. The Center for Integrated Care is a holistic health center providing comprehensive and complementary integrated services since 1996. The center provides an integration of traditional medicine and alternative approaches to healing. Dr. Bain says, "I believe that paying attention to the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient is of the utmost importance in facilitating the healing process. I've observed that the majority of the causes of illness stem from emotional, mental and spiritual issues."

Dr. Bain, who is a board certified Internist, utilizes his traditional training as well as many holistic modalities. He employs alternative techniques such as acupuncture, cranial-sacral therapy, homeopathy, toning frequencies accompanied by specially induced breathing patterns, and nutritional counseling. "Each patient is an individual and these techniques are best applied in combinations that are uniquely customized to the specific needs at hand."

"I connect a great deal with the body's spiritual architecture working with bio-energetic techniques. Bio-energetics is a group of techniques designed to balance the body emotionally and spiritually through connecting with its energetic field. There exist many different levels and vantage points of access to the human body."

During his lecture Dr. Bain will focus on the interrelationship between health and its energetic underpinnings along with how our spiritual energy interfaces with our emotions and physical energy.

Dr. Deirdre Burrell, Harmonious
Vibrations, Inc.
Dr. Deirdre Burrell will be in booth #225 throughout the weekend and will be speaking on Sunday at 11:00. Her lecture is titled Get Your Butt Up. "We all hear the alarm clock, but most of us hit the snooze button. Life, however, is now saying we can no longer hit the snooze button, we've got to get our butts up. As we are waking up, we find that there are things that no longer serve our higher path. We need to learn that they can be released in light and love without struggle."

Dr. Burrell is a nationally recognized Metaphysician, Naturopath and Motivational Healer. As a graduate of the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine, Dr. Burrell has combined training in Africa, China, Europe, the Caribbean and the United States.

She is the producer and host of Harmonious Vibrations, a holistic health care television program and author of a self-enrichment book titled "Taking The Journey Home, An Inward Quest For Outward Success."

"As part of the journey of my life I spent twelve years as a Chicago Police Officer serving and protecting. I received several awards, one, among other things, for saving a baby's life. Saving that baby's life, in a sense, saved my own. I'd been questioning what I was doing with my life, and that event encouraged me to know that wherever we are in life and whatever we are doing, that is part of our purpose."

"When one begins to question their purpose, they are in the process of waking up. We question our relationships, our jobs, our directions in life and we become introspective. My role is to help turn up the light so that these insights, these talents and treasures become accepted and appreciated. Over the years I have acquired many tools to assist others in the discovery of their own inner resources."

Harmonious Vibrations, Dr. Burrell's wellness center, features many healing modalities. Among them are Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Crystal Therapy, the Melchizedek Method, Nutritional Counseling, Oriental Massage/Manipulative Therapy, Reflexology, Reiki, and Spiritual Counseling.

Dr. Kim Ogden-Avrutik, Animal Communicator
Dr. Kim Ogden-Avrutik will be in booth #408 through the weekend and will be presenting a lecture on "How to Communicate With Your Animal Friends" at 12:00 noon on Saturday, October 12. Dr. Kim has been communicating with animals all of her life but, "I finally started to let people know that I could do this ten years ago, and have been doing it professionally for the past six."

"After an education and career in the sciences and public health I had a pitiful and yet wonderful experience in Taiwan. When I saw the condition of the animals there, I decided that I had to take a more active role in helping to improve the quality of their lives. The best way I knew to do this was to fall back on my old skills as an animal communicator. In order to increase people's respect for animals, I developed a new goal. I decided to enhance people's awareness of the feelings and intelligence of our animal friends by a unique method--that of telling people how the animals felt using words and feelings from the animals themselves."

"What I have found is that animals are spiritual beings just as we are. They have a great deal of wisdom to share. In every consultation I learn valuable lessons that can be applied to everyday life and my clients have found this to be true as well."

“People often come to me because of problems with their animals. They want to know why their animal is engaging in undesirable behavior or exhibiting health problems. Litter box issues, fear-aggression problems with dogs, and depression concerns with horses comprise the majority of my cases. For example, I have a client who used to see her five cats itching in unison. It wasn't from fleas. What we discovered was that her cats were picking up on something that was irritating her. When she was able to calm herself and get rid of the anger and resentment, she found that the cats were no longer itching. From that time on she was able to gauge her own level of comfort by observing her cats.

Dr. Kim will be doing mini consultations through the weekend at her booth. Anyone interested should bring pictures of their animal friends. She can be contacted by calling 847/681-8743. Her e-mail address is animalspeak@cs.com.

Terry Taylor, Spiritual Awakening Center
Visit Terry Taylor and Robert Kramer will be at Booth #223, and lecturing Saturday, October 12 from 12:00 to 2:00 pm on "Ascension via Past life Regression; You Live Only One Life – But With Many Physical Expressions."

"Soul Retrieval through Past Life Regression brings back wisdom from past incarnations. As you re-experience the wisdom acquired, the division between lives collapses and you become your cumulative life experiences. Once the retrieval is completed, wisdom is then integrated into the present life. You then step off the "Wheel of Rebirth" as you re-enter the one true life and begin living the Higher Vibrational Way of Life, in the next physical dimension," says Terry. "Those feeling the call to ascend to their next life, in this lifetime, come SoulJourn with us as we enter an eight-week class of Spiritual Emotional Release within group consciousness."

In Terry and Robert's lecture you will witness the integrated results of these groups as you experience a live Past Life Regression on stage. Robert Kramer (a talented musician in this and past lives) will be hypnotized, sent back in time, and will perform music never before heard. Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness this live musical past life regression experience. "Your lives all have purpose, don't let yours go unsung," says Terry. "Questions and answers are encouraged and welcomed at our booth."

Terry Taylor has served the spiritual community for over 30 years, owning two metaphysical bookstores and the School of Advanced Esoteric Studies. He is degreed in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, a partner in Phobicare Group Practice, and doing therapy since 1975.

Dianna Stahl, ERS Inc.
Dianna Stahl with ERS Inc. will be at booth #112 through the weekend and will be presenting a lecture on Saturday afternoon. ERS Inc. works with new technology to help people to get a better understanding of their health and wellbeing. Using full body aura imaging, they provide an understanding of the organs and glands in the body. Included in the analysis is a complete chakra evaluation.

According to Dianna, "We have been able to identify a wide range of mental, emotional and physical concerns in the body, from relationship issues to depression to various types of cancers. On the other hand, we can also pinpoint positive uses of personality traits and characteristics, the health of the organs and glands, and the overall health and vitality of the body. This technology highlights the strengths and weaknesses that we all must deal with."

"What sets us apart from the aura photography that is commonly found at expos like this is the depth of information that is provided by the 45 sensors that measure the frequency, the contact pressure, and the temperature from the reflex points in the hand. This is done in real time as opposed to looking at a snapshot. You can see changes occurring right before your eyes as you become aware of what is there. This is a real advantage over a photo that is a frozen moment in time."

ERS offers two versions of the Bio-field Imaging system. The Aurastar 2000 is geared toward the non-medical community while the Biopulsar is designed specifically for doctors and other medical practitioners. The machines are essentially the same but the Biopulsar utilizes more sophisticated software. The system was developed in Germany by Martina Gruber and Dr. Balaji Tambe. The North American distributor is Colour Energy Corporation located in Vancouver, Canada.

Dianna will be offering introductory sessions at her booth through the weekend. You can stop by and experience a new way of looking at yourself. Dianna and ERS can be contacted directly by calling 330/283-5316. The e-mail address is ers@lek.net and the website address is www.biofieldenergy.com.

Dr. Nicholas LeRoy, Illinois Center for Progressive Medicine
Dr. Nicholas LeRoy will be in booth #207 through the weekend and will be speaking on Saturday at 11:00. Dr. LeRoy is a holistic physician who specializes in women's health. He utilizes infrared breast thermography to identify breast cancer risk. He is the only physician in the Chicago area using this technology. Once risk is determined, Dr. LeRoy designs a breast cancer prevention protocol that consists of dietary modifications and the latest supplements shown to prevent it.

Unlike mammography, which has actually been shown to contribute to breast cancer, thermography poses no health hazard and has been proven to assist in early diagnosis. Thermal imaging identifies vascular alterations associated with malignancy. "Once I have identified an abnormal thermogram, I follow up with additional diagnostic tests to rule out cancer. In patients that are shown not to have cancer, I treat them as high risk and discuss what they can do to prevent cancer from developing," says Dr. LeRoy.

"Another major factor that I address is the patient's hormonal status. Many middle-aged women are estrogen dominant, which further contributes to the development of breast cancer. Dietary modifications and progesterone supplementation can mitigate this."

At his lecture Dr. LeRoy will discuss the research that supports breast cancer prevention. "Despite claims by the American Cancer Society that breast cancer can't be prevented, elimination of known risk factors has been shown to decrease cancer occurrence." Dr. LeRoy will have information at his booth on the holistic treatment of a variety of women's health issues.

"I have learned over the years of my practice that infrared thermography is an invaluable tool in the early identification of breast cancer risk. It allows early intervention and treatment with a more favorable outcome than conventional treatment alone."

Dr. LeRoy can be contacted by calling 312/456-3000, ext 210. His web address is www.drnick.net.

Joanne Koenig-Macko
Renowned angel artist Joanne Koenig-Macko will be in Booth #210 throughout the weekend and will be speaking Sunday, October 13th at 11 am. The title of her talk is "Entering The Age Of Miracles." She will also be personalizing her art prints all weekend at her booth.

After a near-death accident in 1980, only ten days after her honeymoon, Joanne was about to find something out about her Guardians. Little did she know at the time that she'd be on a healing path with seven years of intense pain from the accident that left her back severely damaged. The doctors told her that every disc was involved and that if she did get back to "normal" she'd be in a lot of pain from arthritis as she got older. She would soon learn that "It serves no one's giftedness to hang onto anger. We all have "soul contracts" with those we do the dance of life. We choose our experiences before we come to "earth school" to learn our lessons or teach lessons to others."

"When I finally understood the lessons the angels were teaching me I was able to heal and move forward. It took me seven years to "get it," but my partner and I went on to take fourth place in the doubles at the U.S.T.A. tennis tournament in Arizona in 1994. It was then that I was guided to paint these celestial beings. I was shown that this work would be omni-dimensional, high-vibrational healing art to go out to the world."

By the time she finished her third painting, World Peace Angel, she knew that her work was meant to reach the world. Madeleine Albright, who was then the U.S. representative to the United Nations, contacted Joanne to say that she would be hanging her art outside her office wall for "all the world and visitors to see." The Chief of Protocol had presented it to Madeleine and Joanne soon found herself at the U.N. presenting her World Peace Print to the former President of Costa Rica, Rodrigo Carazo. The presentation took place in front of 21 representatives of 21 nations. From there it was if this healing art had a life of it's own. Joanne has presented to leaders from all over the world: Gorbachev, the Clintons, countless Ambassadors, and the President of Egypt. Joanne was asked to be Director of International Angels for World Peace, a project under the World Citizen Diplomats.

"My purpose is to enlighten people all over the world about healing from within and how world peace starts with each of us." She continues to speak all over the U.S. at many expos, seminars, radio talk shows and delights many with her whimsical stories of how the angelic realm has changed her life. You can see Joanne's celestial creations at her website: www.angelic-art.com.

Joy Crowder
Angel Adviser Joy Crowder will be in Booth #116 throughout the weekend. She will be doing readings involving channeled angel messages as well as information from loved ones who have passed over. Joy has been doing this work for the past ten years. "I have been blessed to be able to help others through the angelic realm. Being able to assist in the various problems in people's lives brings me closer to what I have always considered to be the purpose of my life."

"After having two life saving experiences by what I came to realize were my own guardian angels, I recommitted my life to this work. I discovered my intuitive gift which is communicating with both sides. Opening that door allows the messages to flow from the other side to the client."

"While driving on the Florida Turnpike in 1991 pulling a U-Haul trailer, I suddenly found my car spinning out of control. My life flashed before my eyes as I saw the traffic around me and I knew that I was going to be hit and that was going to be it. The next thing I became aware of was sitting on the shoulder of the road facing the right direction as if nothing unusual had happened. I remember no squealing brakes or honking horns. I was just unexplainably saved when I know that I should have died. That was angelic intervention.

"Six months later, while walking to a job interview, I was passing a huge warehouse on the other side of a chain link fence. Suddenly I felt two hands on my back pushing me about six feet forward. I thought I was being mugged. But before I even had a chance to cry out, I heard the sound of some giant icicles hitting the ground right where I had been. Once again I was saved, and that told me once and for all that I had a mission. The channeling started right after that and my life has been a quest for truth ever since."

"I invite any who are drawn to the angels to stop by my booth at the Expo". Joy is available for readings during and after the Expo. She can be reached by calling 630/906-9131.

Ken James, C. G. Jung Center
Ken James will be at the C. G. Jung Center Booth off and on throughout the weekend and will be speaking on "Divination and Synchronicity."

Ken has been a Jungian Analyst for the past ten years. He is most interested in the psychological foundation of divination, synchronicity, and other types of esoteric phenomena. "I've read the Tarot since I was sixteen years old, but it wasn't until I discovered Jung that I was able to understand the reasons why I was drawn to the images on the cards and the whole process of divination."

"I have taught Tarot around the world from a Jungian perspective. What I find important to convey is the fact that specific divination methods such as Tarot, palmistry, astrology and others are ways to sensitize ourselves to the synchronicities that are available to us all the time. I am concerned, however, that people turn to divination in times of desperation. They do receive help, but unfortunately this can set up a co-dependent relationship between the seeker and the method."

"To help people overcome this tendency, I work form Jung's notion of synchronicity, which is a different way of understanding how things are connected in time and space. The operative paradigm of our culture is one of causality, that is, the notion that events are connected in time in a cause-and-effect relationship. The concept of synchronicity suggests that causality is only one way that events are connected. They may also be connected on the basis of a deeper meaning. It is not so much that the cards are predictive as they are reflective of deeper levels of meaning."

"At my lecture I will draw from audience experiences of synchronicity and relate them to various methods of divination and Jung's teachings on Dreamwork. I will be interacting with participants using Tarot cards as a means of demonstrating how all of this really works."

Ken can be reached by calling the Soulwork Center at 847/491-1739. His email is kenjames@soulworkcenter.org.

Damara Diamond, Authentic Feng Shui
Damara Diamond will be in Booth #550 throughout the weekend and will be presenting a lecture titled "Why Authentic Feng Shui Is Invisible."

Authentic Feng Shui is the art of living in harmony with one's environment. It is based on a structure and its surrounding landforms. Focusing on the individual and the direction of the building allows a Feng Shui practitioner to determine the potential of that property. "I have found that these ancient Chinese techniques do work in this modern western world to explain and fix some our life issues. By making adjustments to the structure and its surroundings based on the individual living or working there, you can change the fortune of that person."

"Using a combination of the different techniques of authentic Feng Shui is the most effective way to improve one's life. The three most important features to examine are the front door, the placement of the stove and where one sleeps. By analyzing these things and making necessary adjustments, the luck of the person will improve and the life will be enhanced. Sometimes it's as easy changing the door used. But in some cases where immovable negative landforms are involved a door tilt may be required. A good stove placement will generate good fortune and good health in the household because the occupants receive the chi of the house from the food prepared on the stove. Locating the bed properly and in the correct direction allows one to accept, through their sleep, good chi to help them perform better. For instance, an insomniac might find relief from simply changing the placement of the bed and their sleeping position."
