Matthew is certainly one of the more exciting people I've met in my travels because he is on the very cutting edge of addressing the problem of brain damage. The Family Hope Center in Pennsylvania is probably the foremost center in the world for understanding, diagnosing, and treating special needs children.
The work they do also has powerful insights into addressing problems in people of all ages and with less severe brain damage. I'm also excited by the fact that the BodyTalk System is part of the protocol and has contributed to improving their results.
Matthew is giving two lectures in Europe towards the end of the year. One will be as a guest speaker at the IBA conference in Malta, and the other will be in Dublin Ireland.
The 'How to Help your Child with Special Needs - Parent Training' conference in Dublin with Matthew Newell and the Family Hope Center team is for parents of children with special needs and also therapists who may work with these children. The conference is due to run from Friday, Sept 6th to Sunday, Sept 8th in the Maldron Hotel, Tallaght, Dublin. There will also be half-day workshops on the Monday, specifically for the kids themselves.

Testimonial - Rheumatoid Factor Levels
Dear John,
I had a session with you at
your Founder's Session Intensive and I am writing with an update on progress since that treatment.
As I mentioned to you at the time, following the birth of my child a number of years ago, and a bout of joint pain, it was found that I had a high Rheumatoid Factor reading. All
other test results were consistently negative or normal but the high RF always
remained and I had been told it would probably always be like that.
You addressed this (amongst other things) during my session. I am delighted to report that my RF is now normal. After years of it being consistently in the 90's, recent blood tests showed it to be a very acceptable '10'. I am over the moon!

The Mysterious
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

The Mind by Esther Veltheim
~ Ramesh S. Balsekar
“Thoughts are the tension.” The first time I read Ramesh’s words they struck me like a sledge-hammer. Immediately I knew he was right. It isn’t that I had not experienced stressful thoughts before. But, I had never before recognized that ALL tension is the result of thoughts.
Meditation had always been something I did in spurts. I would suddenly be filled with Bhakti and for weeks would devote myself to ritual and meditation. Then I would go a month or so with nothing. Although meditation served to calm my mind and bring a deep sense of wellbeing, I didn’t relate to meditation as a daily practice. When I tried to implement that it felt contrived.
When I read Ramesh’s words there rose up in me an urgency to understand why thoughts persist and to understand the nature of mind; my mind in particular. In and of itself this exploration became my meditation, engaging my focus almost every waking moment.
In this process I invented various exercises for myself. Probably they are not unique to me, but there is one I would like to share with you here, just in case you have never tried it for yourself.
The following exercise will be somewhat demanding. It will require tremendous attention and alertness towards your thoughts, words and actions….and a strong dose of self-honesty.
EXERCISE:
This exercise requires a pen and pocket notepad. Preferably avoid using a mechanical device for this.
The duration of this exercise is an entire day, beginning when you wake up to when you go to bed. Using a symbol of your choosing, note down every single time you make an assumption.
At the end of the day tally your symbols and, in your notepad, write down your experience of the day. Next morning, read through your account and see if there is anything you can add.
Note: Beware of assuming an outcome! You might be surprised.
