Who would have thought that a single photograph would be so dangerous? Photofest. The ultimate photography convention. Not only is Seddy finally able to attend, but this year, it is being held in the city for which she was named. And she cannot wait. No sooner does she check into the conference when a murder interrupts her night on the town with a new friend. Shaken, Seddy just wants to put the incident behind her. But someone has other ideas. After attending her first day of workshops, Seddy discovers her hotel room has been ransacked. Her new love interest seems very eager to help her while the local detective keeps asking her questions about her camera. To make matters worse, the chief of police keeps giving her strange looks. And then someone tries to kill her. As she works out whom she can trust, Seddy realizes she may hold the one piece of evidence that could help solve the mystery.

"James Ray's debut in the film, The Secret, thrust him into the spotlight. . . appearances on Oprah and Larry King Live... 'Tragedy in Sedona' is a behind the scenes look at the rise and fall of the James Ray Empire, through the eyes of an ultimately disenchanted follower. Connie Joy takes you on her personal and authentic journey-from being a devoted member of James' inner circle andDream Team to...trying to warn others." ~From the Foreword by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman Follow Connie Joy inside the seminars and once-in-a-lifetime trips to Egypt and Peru for an up close look at the transformative work of a charismatic teacher-and the underlying danger of mixing up the message with the messenger! In 2007, Connie participated in Ray's sweat lodge, a Native American ceremonial sauna meant to be a place of spiritual renewal and mental and physical healing. It turned out to be only a test of endurance for Connie and many of the participants. Her prediction that someone could be seriously hurt came true in October 2009 when three people died and 18 participants were injured during a sweat lodge run by James Arthur Ray and his staff. After injuries at his previous events, why didn't Ray get the message he was literally playing with fire? Connie and her husband attended 27 events over three years presented by James Arthur Ray, "Rock Star of Personal Transformation." As this book is released, Ray is charged with three counts of manslaughter and faces a criminal trial in Arizona as well as numerous civil suits.

This book was originally written to help those visiting Sedona, Arizona who could not attend my regular Scientific Vortex Information Training Class (see www.freesoul.net). It teaches how to rapidly, easily, and effectively tap Sedona's famous meditation sites. It also contains a system for finding vortexes closer to your home area. Understanding vortexes and how to tap them is a key asset for exploring your "dimensions beyond" described in Superstrings Physics. Even more important, however, is knowing how to weave that knowledge into a method for "Living life AS a Soul." When you are having difficulty accessing deeper spiritual skills, or are facing intense inner hurts, vortex energies can provide portals to new insights. People tend to be drawn to upflow areas to feel the exhilaration of tapping those dimensions beyond. What they are also craving (in many cases without even realizing it) is to escape the worries, hurts, angers, and fears created by the Limbic Brain. The Soul-shift technique (contained in this book) makes tapping the vortexes easier, primarily because it gets the meditator out of their limbic brain focus. It allows you to create an inner upflow vortex, where ever you are. The brain science technique for natural mood elevation contained in my book, Access Your Brain's Joy Center (soon also available as an e-book), teaches how to counter limbic brain effects anywhere, anytime without having be in a meditative state. That makes it possible to self-generate that inner upflow effect in ALL of life (eyes open, moving, etc.). As you read through this book, see the bigger picture. Imagine having the ability to live accessing ALL of your dimensions beyond and ALL your spiritual skills, without having to physically be in the enhanced energy sites. Enjoy exploring the unlimited potentials that ARE your birthright As a Free Soul.
