September 2010-February 2011

Currently we are in the midst of mind-blowing change, challenging each of us in a deep personal way. The evolution of the human species is disturbingly personal," chaotic. Deep fears were awakened… and moved.  Internal energy rose. Attractions changed. As 2011 looms, it is time to live consciously and in an unprecedented sacred energy level. It is time to fully experience""whole, "activated" and "integrated."  

The Newest Map! LIFE IN HIGHER ORDER

Graphic: map

Wednesday, September 22: 6:30-10:00 pm
Bouncing our ball in “overdrive”… consistently and peacefully! Where are we headed? What are our “morphing” tools? How do I deepen my experience? How do I consciously rewire my brain beyond imprint? What impact does higher order have on my physical body?
*(All mapping includes the vibrational body, experiential body, and physical body.)

The Power of Choice

Wednesday, December 1: 6:30-10:00pm
We are gifted with a magical power of choice and are using that choice unconsciously since birth. There are two parts to that power: WILL (directed life force energy) and EMOTIONS (energy movement within the moment). Together these create the biggest energy tools of shifting to higher order! “BUCKLE IN” (fans of rising energy practices take note!)

Your Read of the World Sets Reality

Wednesday, January 12: 6:30-10:00pm
Before our brain has the chance to relay info, our energy field has sensed & responded to our moment. This is “mind” vs brain in action-conscious “read” combined with new patterns of “choice” frees the moment to effortlessly flow instead of “clench & recover”. Flow sets a whole new world of perception and acceptance into motion that impacts heart, soul and body.

Connection Beyond Limitation

Wednesday, February 23: 6:30-10:00pm
Imagine that your energy field could actually exist in a different dimension than those around you while you are deeply connected to everyone. What does that mean? Even more, why is that a miraculous possibility for you and for them? You have just begun to explore joy and love. Here is a map for those who dare…

Dr Zoe Marae

Photo: Zoe MaraeDr. Marae has a PhD in biological science. For 15 years, she did medical research on complex multi-system disease leading to a joint appointment at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital, Boston. Zoe Marae is a scientist who believes in “magic!" (Vibrational magic, that is). She playfully refers to herself as a “mapmaker” specializing in formats (maps) of higher personal energy flow. These very practical maps lead to transformation inside (peace and flow) as well as outside (new life attractions). Her “zoeisms” combine vibrational physics with graphic humor... functional and entertaining!
