Modus Operandi (MO)Technique Foundational Training (July 08, 2026)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Dear II Subscriber,

This is not an II program but we thought it might be of interest to you. See information below.

IMPORTANT: Imagery International cannot help you with any questions about this program. Please use the information below to contact the organizer.

Modus Operandi (MO)Technique Foundational Training

10-Week Live Immersion | July 2026
Maureen Minehan Jones will be teaching the foundational live transmission of her MO Technique™ beginning in July. This is a small, highly interactive 10-week training for practitioners who wish to deepen their work with the nervous system, emotional integration, and the psychological layers that influence health and healing.

The MO Technique is a complementary approach that focuses on:

• Nervous system regulation
• Emotional mapping and release
• Identifying chronic stress patterns
• Exploring the psychological and emotional themes that may influence illness experience
• Trauma-informed presence
• Ethical scope of practice

We examine how unresolved emotional stress and long-standing internal conflicts may impact a person’s physiological stress response — always within a complementary framework.

This training does not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions. It enhances practitioner skill in supporting emotional resilience and whole-person well-being alongside conventional medical care.

+++++++++++++++++++

Format:
• 10 consecutive weeks (July 8th– September 9th)
• Live interactive sessions
• Limited participants
• Case discussion and supervised application

Tuition: $1,497

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Enrollment:
Enrollment is by direct conversation to ensure alignment.
Interested participants may call or text:
209-581-3697

Space is intentionally limited to maintain depth and personal guidance.

Book Group: We Are Not Meant to Die (July 14, 2026)

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

We Are Not Meant to Die

By Gerald Epstein, MD & Rachel Epstein, L. Ac

Drawing on decades of clinical and spiritual practice, the authors reveal the missing piece of modern medicine: the profound connection between physical

health and spiritual wholeness. We Are Not Meant to Die offers a groundbreaking

Western spiritual approach to unlocking your body's natural healing abilities.

This practical guide teaches the keys to living in the moment by ridding ourselves of the "inner terrorists" that rule us. By quieting this habitual conditioning and listening to our inner wisdom we learn to come into the present moment.

The book shows us how to connect to the seven fundamental forces from above — Love, Will, Faith, Hope, Intuition, Imagination, and Divine Light. It includes 10 essential practices for inner development and over 90 visualizations to progressively reach higher spiritual dimensions of awareness.

No matter what your spiritual orientation or beliefs, this book offers a new vision of possibility for each of us of health, wellbeing and balance in an age marked by fear and uncertainty.
