 EDITOR’S NOTE: “The Master Key” by Robert Peng, a featured speaker in The Shift Network’s 2019 Qigong Global Summit, is one of the most profoundly important books I’ve ever read. I can say that it’s life-changing with complete confidence, because it changed my life before I even finished reading it. I was so impressed with this book that we are serializing the section called “One Hundred Days of Darkness and Light” in future issues of Catalyst. You can read the second installment (as well as the first one) here.
— Phil Bolsta
The six stories in this issue’s “The Nicest Thing” section come from three featured speakers in the Healing With The Masters Summit — actress and author Dee Wallace… and encore stories from summit speakers who are also Shift faculty: Anita Moorjani, author of the New York Times bestseller, Dying to Be Me… and sound-therapy practitioner Eileen McKusick.
You’ll also hear from Sherry Burditt, the Director of Clinical Services for Hemet Valley Recovery Center & Sage Retreat… and Liz Field, a Marketing Writer on the Shift Community Transformation Team. Look for stories from other members of the Shift Team in future issues. We look forward to having you get to know us better!
We’d love to hear your answer to the question, What person or process helped you experience deep and lasting healing? To share your thoughts in our Facebook Page community, click here.
Healing is not a science… but the intuitive art of wooing nature.

The Master Key
By Robert Peng, a featured speaker in The Shift Network’s 2019 Qigong Global Summit
It's 1972 in the industrial city of Xiangtan, China. A frail child with a heart condition sneaks into a hotel boiler room and befriends the elderly yet vibrant attendant, who eventually reveals his true identity as a revered Qigong master. He heals the boy and, for the next 13 years, secretly teaches him the keys to unlocking the spiritual and healing dimensions of the Life Force.
It sounds like a modern-day fable, but the story is true. And with The Master Key, that grateful student, Robert Peng, invites all of us to walk this empowering path along with him. Here, Master Peng brings together the unique insights of his teacher with the moving account of his own journey.

In this special video series, prominent authors, speakers, thought leaders, and others answer the question, “What is the nicest thing a non-family member has ever done for you?”
Dee Wallace’s Story
Actress and author
 EXCERPT: I have so many, but the one that comes to mind is when my husband passed away and all of my best girlfriends got together and…

Anita Moorjani’s Story
Author of the New York Times bestseller, Dying to Be Me
 In 2006, Anita Moorjani fell into a coma after a 4-year battle with cancer, and was given days to live. As her doctors gathered, attempting to revive her, she journeyed into a near-death experience (NDE) in which she was surrounded by unconditional love and deep wisdom. She was given the choice to return to her physical form or to continue on into this expansive new realm. She chose to come back. When she regained consciousness, the cancer that had caused her organs to shut down, began to heal. To the amazement of her doctors, she was free of countless tumors and cancer indicators within weeks.

Eileen McKusick’s Story
 EXCERPT: When we moved to Vermont in 2002, my kids were little, they were two and five, and we had gone through a very devastating experience where my husband had been in a car accident. He was hit by a drunk driver, and he wasn't able to work for a few years, and this combined with some other things caused us to lose everything. We went into a complete and utter financial meltdown.

Sherry Burditt’s Story
 EXCERPT: The nicest thing that he did for me was to really, really harass me to write a book. So why I say harass, I'm not somebody that has a lot of time to do things like that. Many patients have said, "Do you have a book? Do you have something that we can take with us? Why don't you write a book?" I would always say, "I would love to do it, but I don't have any time, but thank you very much." Well he — his name was Marty — was just tenacious and just wouldn't give up.

Liz Field’s Story
 EXCERPT: I used to follow a band around called the Grateful Dead back in the '80s and '90s, and there’s a community of people involved in that. And one of the values of this community is kindness. So, there were a lot of little examples of kindness going around, but one thing that Deadheads would often do for each other is give each other concert tickets, and these were called “miracles.

Ram Dass on Acknowledging Suffering: How We Can Begin to Heal
By Ram Dass (a featured speaker in the Healing With The Masters Summit)
 I have watched in the work I do with people that are dying, where they suffer and suffer and suffer and if I could, as a human emotional heart, I would do everything I could to take away their suffering. It breaks my heart that they’re suffering and I watch as the suffering burns its way until they finally give up because the suffering is so great. I’ve watched as they give up, something emerges in their being that is so beautiful and so radiant and so spiritually innocent, that it’s like they meet a part of their being that has been hidden all their lives. It’s like an egg being cracked open.

How Can I Break Free From The Drama Triangle Once & For All?

 Are your personal relationships strained or combative? Do you often find yourself in power struggles with friends or people at work? If so, you could be playing one or more roles within the Drama Triangle and not even know it. Here’s how you can be more aware of — and break free of — these manipulative relationship dynamics once and for all.

The BIGGEST New Age Myths and What They Really Mean
By Jarrad Hewett (a featured speaker in the Healing With The Masters Summit)
 I recently came across an article discussing some of the more difficult spiritual notions that people grapple with: focusing on the positive, letting go of resistance, and accepting what is. The author found herself struggling with moral relativism and a feeling as if nothing mattered, and that there was no difference between reality and perception. One of the main comments regarding the article was a notion that many in the spiritual community talk about, wherein “everything is okay.”

Simple Steps to Overcome the Fear of Failure, Keep the Faith, and Let Your Light Shine in the World
By By Lisa Nichols (a featured speaker in the Healing With The Masters Summit)
 I can’t tell you how many times over the past 20 years I thought “Yup, I’m gonna be out of business in 30 days, or 30 minutes, or had no idea how I was gonna pay this bill or that bill. I think back to my very first office which was a tiny walk-in closet. Now I look around and see a team of amazing people around me. This is so powerful because for so long, I was in this alone. Nobody understood my vision. Heck, even I couldn’t explain or clearly define it.
So, when I see this incredible growth and reflect back on how I overcame the fear of failure over the past 20 years, I realized there was one common denominator and resource I harnessed every single time.

Self Love Made Easy!
Video by Anita Moorjani (a featured speaker in the Healing With The Masters Summit)
 “I used to think that self-love was just loving your physical self,” says Anita. “I used to think it's about being vain. It was only when I died that I realized self-love was something much deeper than that, and that we are so much more than just physical beings. I always use the analogy of the iceberg. Our physical self is only the tip of the iceberg, but there's so much more to us that is beyond the iceberg. That is our soul, which has always lived and always will. When you love yourself, you love all of yourself. All of it. You love who you came here to be. You want to know, "What is my soul's purpose?" Loving yourself means loving all of it, the whole iceberg, not just the tip of the iceberg.

Moriah Formica
Rock goddess Moriah Formica represents what many had thought to be the end of an era. She discovered the world of rock 'n' roll music through her father and quickly thereafter picked up a guitar, then the drums, and eventually pretty much any instrument that she could get in front of her. At the age of 16, Formica decided that she was ready to put her talents on the biggest stage that a teenager could dare to step on. She auditioned for NBC's "The Voice," leaving fans around the world (and four judges with very successful careers) awestruck by her booming, declarative rendition of Heart's "Crazy On You." Her stardom on “The Voice” led to her opening for her idols Halestorm and Joan Jett. Watch Moriah’s performance on “The Voice” here.
2019 marks a pivotal moment in Moriah's mission. Once an eager 7-year-old drawn to the swagger and emotion of rock music, the now-18 year old Formica yearns to make the kind of music that inspired her all those years ago; all while forging a sound that speaks to both the new generation and the ones before it. She brings a studious and disciplined approach to every facet of her career. From songwriting and social media to interviews and spending time in the studio, it all adds up to a work ethic that's beyond reproach. There's no gimmick to this overnight sensation, regardless of what the critics might say. The formula is simple: show up, rock out, and leave the whole world asking, "who was that?"
