The International Society for the Study of Subtle
Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM), is an inter-

disciplinary organization for the study of energetic and
informational interactions. The Society is concerned

that interact with the human psyche and physiology,
either enhancing or perturbing healthy homeostasis.

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY
FOR THE STUDY OF SUBTLE ENERGIES
& ENERGY MEDICINE
The Society was organized in the fall of 1989. As a
result of our efforts over the past four years, approxi-
mately 1,500 individuals have elected to support
ISSSEEM activities. Of that number, from those who
have provided educational background information, the
following breakdown was developed: 17% are physi-
cians, 29% have completed their doctoral work, 17%
have completed a masters, 12% a bachelors. We feel
that psychology, psychophysiology, psychophysics, and
medicine are rapidly coming together in a synthesis that
will keynote an innovative science of the 21st century.
It is the hope of the leadership of the Society that
through carefully prepared and edited publications the
Society will stimulate ISSSEEM interest in the greater
scientific community.
Membership dues sustain the Central Office and pro-
vide members with quarterly newsletters and general
mailings. The Society encourages the exchange of
information through conferences, seminars, and work-
shops. The fourth annual conference will be held in
Boulder, Colorado, June 16-21, 1994. See inside back
cover for details.

ISSSEEM Fourth Annual Conference
COMPONENTS AND CORRELATES OF HEALING ENERGIES
Boulder, Colorado - June 16-21, 1994
Paradigm Bridge on the Cutting Edge of Reality
One of our members wrote to the 1993 ISSSEEM Conference Committee about the per-
ceived need for scientific acceptance of healing and non-local aspects of consciousness (see
Letters, in ISSSEEM's Newsmagazine, Bridges, Vol. 4 No 4, p. 3). Her comments point-
ed to the frustration of many members who have subtle energy healing systems and tech-
nologies which work for them and their clients yet are treated as "unproven" or "unscien-
tific" at best by their less convinced friends and colleagues and as "quackery" by the pro-
fessional skeptics.
Frustration seems often to generate a separatist approach-that science, as usually practiced,
is hopeless as an ally in understanding and validating what we already know to be "real" in
the areas of consciousness and subtle energies. From the scientific side, enthusiasts of sub-
tle energies are often viewed with an equally hopeless view as being "soft-headed," illogical
or worse.
ISSSEEM was conceived as a "bridge" organization, with one end anchored in the tradi-
tional subjectively derived knowledge of the subtle realms of reality and the other in scien-
tific method and rigor as the two approaches to reality come together to form a new par-
adigm for science in the 21st Century. What an exciting and challenging bit of relation-
ship building!
In honor of this "bridge" concept, the 1994 ISSSEEM Annual Conference has the theme
"Components and Correlates of Healing Energies." Components-the elements needed for
healing to occur, including the setting, the psychology of the healer and healee and the sub-
tle variables-derived from the wisdom of the ages, plus Correlates-markers, measures and
observations derived from scientific research. This ambitious program is well underway.
The 1994 Program Committee has retained 3 outstanding invited speakers to anchor the
program. Larry Dossey, M.D. (author of Recovering The Soul and Healing Words) will
keynote the program with an update/overview of what we know about healing. Charles
Tart, Ph.D. will bring his encyclopedic knowledge of the science of consciousness to bear
on fear and the shadow side of healing and contact with the mysteries therein. Beverly
Rubik, Ph.D. will close the conference with a speculation about the future paradigms for
physics and other sciences implied by the reality of healing phenomena. In between we
will have symposia on traditional healing knowledge, the cutting edge of mind-body research
and practice and dealing with skepticism about subtle realities. Should be an exciting oppor-
tunity to see the "bridges" among clinical practice of healing, traditional healing systems
and modern scientific research data in action. Maybe we will create a possible future togeth-
er.
We have 60 or 70 program proposals to select from in order to bring the attendees as excit-
ing and sophisticated a conference as we can. Hope to see you there. You can commu-
nicate general program suggestions or ideas to the Program Committee through the
ISSSEEM Central Office.
