Keynote Speaker
From Chaos to Coherence: Biofield Science and Why Healers Lead the Future
Humanity stands on a precipice of what could be a new era of human evolution, or human demise. As the human family wakes up to our fullest capacities to heal and unify, the charge of healers has never been more powerful. Today’s healers are leaders of this human evolution, and it is critical that all of us are fortified with knowledge, practice and connection so that we can amplify healing within ourselves and our communities.
In this interactive presentation, Dr. Shamini Jain will share the scientific realities of healing through the lens of biofield science, tying together patient stories with peer reviewed, published scientific data that show how powerful healing energy can be – from cells to communities. Drawing from this data, you’ll explore the leadership roles healers can play in helping provide harmony to a distracted, distressed world. Through guided energy meditations and discussion, as well as sharing exciting “news from the collective” of healing leaders in the 501c3 social profit Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI), Dr. Jain will lead you into joy, hope and inspiration as we dive into our biggest resource for sustainable evolution – our healing connection.
Dr. Shamini Jain is Founder and CEO of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI), an international collaborative of scientists, healing practitioners, educators and artists who lead humanity to heal ourselves. She also serves as an adjunct professor at UC San Diego’s Department of Family Medicine, where she supports education within UCSD’s Centers for Integrative Health. Dr. Jain is a clinical psychologist and an award-winning researcher and author in psychoneuroimmunology, integrative health and biofield science. Her online courses in the science and practice of self-healing and personal transformation can be found at CHI, Shift Network and Humanity’s Team. Dr. Jain’s two-time award winning book, Healing Ourselves: Biofield Science and the Future of Health is available from booksellers world-wide. Â
Experiential Sessions
One of the not-to-be-missed conference highlights are the experiential sessions where you will receive beautiful healing Reiki energy from renowned practitioners:
Mainstream Reiki’s Andrea Kennedy will open the conference with a calming Reiki meditation, which will ground and center you, inviting Reiki energy to flow through and connect all participants as we embark on two days of exploration into Reiki research. Together, we’ll set intentions for open hearts, curious minds, and collective healing, creating a space where science and spirit meet in harmony.
On October 4th, Alexandria Hall from Spirit Hero Healing will lead a profoundly Rooting Chakra Meditation, inviting Reiki energy to assist in balancing and grounding your energy complemented by the harmonious resonance of crystal sound bowls. This sacred meditation will anchor your energy deep into the earth, guiding you to discover tranquility in the present moment.
On October 5th, experience a transformative Soul Alignment Journey with Heart Rhythm Reiki’s Cami Coté where guided imagery and Himalayan singing bowls lead you into deep meditation, revitalizing your energy and elevating your spirit. The powerful combination of Singing Bowl Sound Therapy and Holy Fire Reiki will clear, align, and detoxify your body, fostering profound relaxation and healing.
