EDITORIAL

Well...we made it. We’ve made it through 2012, and the challenges and the occasional dire predictions. Now it’s time to brush off that worry dust from our shoulders and proceed onward with life, trying to make it and our circumstances better and more fulfilling. This is where a Mind Body Spirit Expo comes in. Its purpose is to provide a fascinating spectrum of modalities and experiences for attendees to sample and ask questions about, a way to explore matters of the mind, body and spirit in a comfortable, relaxed setting with other similar-minded people. We have many attendees who attend year after year, so much so that the Mind Body Spirit Expo has become a much anticipated annual event in their lives. Our regular staff at the expos, and our regular exhibitors, have begun to know these people as familiar faces and even friends.

One of the most challenging aspects of our expo is to try to get people who haven’t been to one to come and see what the excitement is about, to sample, just as others do, all the variety that exhibitor booths have to offer, and to go and sit at lectures where much can be learned and experienced. If you know someone who may be receptive to what the Mind Body Spirit Expo has to offer, do encourage them to attend, as surely, once they’ve had a taste, they will come back for more.

In essence, there is a spirit that flows throughout the expo because of the concentration of people who are spiritual seekers and spiritually developed themselves; there’s a palpable energy of goodfeeling, love and peace that filters throughout. I think most, if not all, of our attendees feel this positive energy, which is one of the reasons they return again and again.

So, if you’ve been to our expos, you know what to expect and we welcome you, our friends, back again. If you have never experienced our expo, what’s holding you back? Do attend, at least once. You will not regret it, and your life may never be the same.
