The Power of Peace of Mind
Dr. Bruce A. Hofmann, D.C.

Imagine coming from a place of Peace of Mind, hmmm…quiet and centered with no brain chatter. How much would and could you accomplish each and every day by quieting the noises which sabotage our own successes? The Bio-Physical Emotional Clearing process of NET™ maximizes your potentialities and turns them into realities. This cutting edge technology through a simple, yet elegant, 15-step process allows us to find and release pieces of your past that may be interfering with your present.

Dr. Hofmann introduces this new tool, developed by Dr. Scott Walker D.C., to help you to maximize your creative energies while being more present in the moment, more fully in sync and allowing you to come from the point of divine certainty.

Dr. Bruce Hofmann is an energetic, compassionate teacher, facilitator and holistic healthcare professional. He is an established chiropractor since 1983, a Certified Industrial Consultant, a Certified N.E.T. Practitioner and a Personal and Professional Coach.

After experiencing the results of NET™ he knew that this life changing technology was the lay component needed to help others address their individual challenges, therefore unleashing their personal power.

Better Health Through Aryuveda
Dr. Partap S. Chauhan

No matter what your level of exposure to the ancient and holistic medical science of Ayurveda, you will want to seize this opportunity to learn from Dr. Partap S. Chauhan. Here on a visit from his Ayurvedic Center in India, Dr. Chauhan will explain the effectiveness and the efficacy of Ayurveda for a healthy, harmonious, and peaceful living. You will discover the requirements of body, mind and soul in our intention to achieve and maintain a high level of health and wellness.

An accomplished healer practicing Ayurveda in its original form, Dr Partap Chauhan, Director of Jiva Ayurveda, has come all the way from India to share his knowledge. He has been actively promoting this ancient Indian medical science, offering "total health" based on the principles of holistic healing. His strong background in Vedic philosophy and Eastern spiritualism, conjoined with his expertise in Ayurveda, is the driving force behind his commitment to heal, rejuvenate, and inspire patients from around the world.

After completing school in 1980, he joined the Ayurvedic College of the Delhi University, where he won many accolades, and graduated securing second position in the BA.MS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), for which he was awarded a silver medal.
However, formal education did not suffice to quench his deep thirst for knowledge and he began to search after a guru who would unlock the many secrets of Ayurveda. This search culminated in 1983 when he met with the late Shri Nanak Chand, an expert in Rasa Sastra (alchemy) and the preparation of Ayurvedic medicines. Dr Chauhan undertook five years of grueling study and full-time work under Shri Chand's active guidance, and mastered the intricacies of herbal medicines and their preparation procedures.

In 1991, while still studying under the tutelage of Shri Nanak Chand, he started his own practice in Faridabad, a small city in Haryana to the south of New Delhi. He also established the Jiva Ayurvedic Pharmacy to create purely Ayurvedic medicines.
Dr Chauhan has toured and lectured in many countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, USA, Japan, Belgium, Spain, Finland, Croatia, and Hungary.
