Science of Consciousness and Molecules of Emotion Dr. Candace Pert will tell us how, in her words, "the molecules of emotion bridge the gap between the material and immaterial, playing a key role in our perceptions of ourselves and the outside world--and our health and happiness." She will share how miracles can result when we focus our consciousness with loving intentions. Dr. Pert is renowned for the theory of how the "bodymind" functions as a single psychosomatic network, based on her work at Johns Hopkins University and NIH. She has published more than 250 scientific articles and the books Molecules of Emotion and Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d. She is featured in the film What the Bleep Do We Know? and the Bill Moyers PBS series Healing and the Mind.
