Presentation: How Music Heals the Brain and Body: The RING SHOUT Workshop with Dr. Melinda Connor
DATE: Saturday August 5, 2017

TIME: 10:30am – 5:00pm

LOCATION: Unity Church of Tucson, 3617 N. Camino Blanco, Tucson, AZ 85718

INVESTMENT:  $99 – $125

“Imagine that you’re in the center of a group of people singing spiritual songs from their hearts to yours with the intention of causing your healing…That’s why the Ring Shout is such a powerful experience.”

– Dr. Melinda Connor, PHD

 

What We’ll Be Doing:

First, participants will learn about the music, lyrics, and movement, and the impact on brain and body. Then each person will participate in the powerful experience of being at the center of the Ring Shout Circle. (Note: The Ring Shout does not actually consist of any shouting. Only singing and movement.)

THE RING SHOUT is….

a powerful and moving group process that was developed by slaves in the Antebellum South to heal each other emotionally, physically and spiritually in group ceremony after the brutal oppression of their lives.  The songs for this workshop are known as “Negro Spirituals” and the combination of this type of music and dance was used to inspire and support the recipient and participants during these difficult times.

BASED ON AWARD WINNING RESEARCH

Award winning research and a large body of anecdotal evidence suggests that this process has a powerful impact on the mind, body and spirit of the recipient.

 

YOU’LL BE HEALING MIND, BODY and SPIRIT

The Music and Movement of the Ring Shout gives you an opportunity to experience a new level of connection to the past, freedom in the present, and an enhanced ability to create your future.  Join us for a beautiful and powerful experience with lasting effects.

…Unity with Spirit, Uncontrollable Tears, and a Lasting Sense of Confidence…

Successive Waves of Emotional Release from Musical Healing Circle

Please keep in mind that these videos were made over 3 months after they both had their healing experience so as you can see…

…the effects were lasting and powerful for both of them.

Have You Ever Experienced An Energy Healer That Can Shift The Energy In The Room So Strongly That…

…It Makes The Room Tingle And Everyone Can Feel It?

 

…Have You Ever Experienced..

 

..The Energy Cleansing Benefits Of Musical Sound Healing?..

 

WELL, COMBINE THEM TOGETHER…

…and that is what you’ll experience when Mark Romero performs his method of Musical Energy Healing.
His Performance is An Astounding Experience That Shifts + Cleanses Your Energy In A Way That Makes You Feel Fantastic!


Why? Because:

MARK’S MUSIC CANCELS NEGATIVE ENERGY!!

Within each and every one of us are multiple energy systems that control our body functions, impact our state of consciousness and ultimately our level of success.

Yet we’re all exposed to harmful stressors daily such as: Electro Magnetic Frequencies, Chemicals in the Food, Water and Air, and the Most Potent of Energy Interrupters of All, which I’ll share about below.

Scientists are discovering how much these energy disrupters affect us all.

Through physical testing, muscle testing, and EEG brain mapping, they were able to prove that these negative influences in our environment actually interrupt our connection to the health giving fields of energy, which caused stress, compromised our health and wellbeing, and lowered our levels of consciousness.

They also have shown the importance of getting into a coherent energetic state to not only improve our health, wellness and vitality, but also to achieve higher levels of success, happiness and wellness in our professional and day-to-day lives.


When a person’s energy is optimized in this way, and they are brought in harmony with the universal field of energy that exists all around us, they experience an instant increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination, and balance.

Top Scientist Finds Mark’s Music as Effective as Chanting of Parmahansa Yogananda!!

 

By a series of ‘accidental coincidences’ Mark was tested by a Former NASA Scientist who found that his music strengthened people against the harmful stressors of life.

 

This Scientist discovered that Mark’s music contains frequencies that shifts listeners into a higher state of consciousness and helps them to live more vibrant, successful and fulfilling lives.

His music instantly assists individuals to dramatically reduce stress, enhance mental performance and expand awareness, opening the door for amazing breakthroughs and unprecedented results!

 

Additionally, he found that Mark’s Music worked as strongly and effectively as the chants of renowed Guru Parmahansa Yogananda!

Now Through The Power Of Music, Tone And Vibration You Can Instantly Put Yourself Into A Coherent State!

…And Align Your Self to the Optimal Vibration For Success, Happiness And Wellness and an Optimal Life!

 

Through Mark’s music, you will…

  • Integrate more passion and purpose into your life

  • Bring more health, wellness and vitality to the body

  • Breakthrough limiting thoughts and perceptions

  • Transform challenges into opportunities for growth and evolution

  • Enhance connection to your true essence

  • Eliminate anxiety and expand capacity for joy


 

MARK’S MUSIC CAN EVEN HELPED BALANCE AND CLEANSE YOU OF THE MOST POTENT ENERGY INTERUPTER OF ALL: YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS!!

 

Through EEG brain mapping, his music shifts brainwave functions into a state identified with athletes as the peak performance zone.
 

Most importantly, the scientist working with Mark showed that the body and brain maintained this higher state when being exposed to energy interrupters.
 

“Mark’s music reached directly into my subconscious, releasing old issues and memories. Blockages dissipated!…This is the most amazing process I have experienced!”
~ Pam McLellan

 

Mark’s music is a powerful tool that you can easily utilize to lift themselves above the static and noise caused by negative interrupters, instantly reduce stress, improve their health and wellness, and open yourself to new levels of brain function and consciousness.
 

Parents of children with autism and ADHD, Alzheimer’s patients, and stressed corporate executives, have all communicated to Mark the positive improvements his music had on their daily functioning and compelled him to dedicate his life to improving the welfare of others.
 

Mark will be joined by his wife, Dr. Lara Romero who will also do energy work and provide intuitive answers.
 

Combined, the Healing they bring will be Amplified to a More Potent and Powerful Level.
 

See what others have said below: 

I was a little skeptical about Mark’s claim that his music actually made changes in brain wave patterns and strengthen people, until I experimented on my nephew who is Autistic. I played the music for him during a forty-five minute drive, and received amazing results. This child spends much of his time distracted and talking to himself, but while listening to Mark’s music, he was able to concentrate on our conversation and give me feedback to every question I asked him. He has never done this before with me! Needless to say, I highly recommend the music and the work Mark is doing.”
~ Ken D. Foster CEO – Shared Vision Network


“Wow! Mark’s music puts your mind in a state of harmony, relaxation, and at peace. He is a man of great passion and a beautiful soul. I listen to Mark’s music every night before I go to sleep… Since I have been playing his music at night before I go to bed I have been able to have a deeper sleep and a clearer mind and less stress…Thank you for blessing us with your music Mark.”
~ Mike Bennett

Mark Romero – NASA Scientist Verified Musical Energy Healing 

 

The modern world has surrounded us with over 80,000 man-made chemicals in our air, food, and water as well devices creating electromagnetic fields (EMFs).  This stresses our bodies and compromises our energy.

A few years ago, a former consultant to NASA for protecting astronauts bio-fields in space, discovered frequencies in Marks’ music that actually eliminated the negative effects of these disrupters, opening the door to dramatic reductions of stress, improved physical energy, more vitality, and higher levels of brain activity.

Though skeptical, Mark was willing to see the science behind the claim and his career as CEO of a technology hardware company took a dramatic turn.

Today Mark educates people worldwide on the science of musical energy and empowers them with his music and energy work.  Now parents of children with autism and ADHD, Alzheimer’s patients, and stressed corporate executives, all began passionately communicating to Mark the positive improvements his music had on their daily functioning which compelled him to dedicate his life to improving the welfare of others.

 

He’s performed on the stage with Dr. Bruce Lipton, Mark Victor Hansen, Co-Creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, T. Harv Eker, creator of the Millionaire Mind Intensive, and, and is recognized as a leader in the field of optimizing personal energy.

Leigh Lesho: Folk/Pop/Country/Rock Music infused with the Yoga of Sound (musical performance)

With a modern folk/country/pop/rock blend, Leigh transfuses healing energy into each song using Nadi Yoga, the Yoga of Sound.

 

With a voice that demands to be paid attention to, she draws you into the story, allowing for the unfolding of your mind.  Her musical style is a strong folk rock sound that appeals to a wide range of fans of folk country, rock, and pop music.  Her band, the Night Lights, who compliment her style create a sound reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies mixed with Jewel creating a unique sound all their own.

 

As an artist, Leigh says that she is on a mission to inspire love and joy. She infuses each gorgeous song with power of sound and music therapy, especially with regards to autism.

 

She understands firsthand the symbiotic relationship between sound, body, and mind as she has helped her son, Rylan, who was nearly non-verbal until the age of four, find and use his voice by using these same therapies from a yoga philosophy approach.
