My first exposure to the concepts of cellular memory came from a seminar I had to attend for a class I was taking.  The seminar was in a small town just about an hour north of Sacramento called Grass Valley. The nature of the downtown area in Grass Valley is a strange, almost surreal maze of elevated and submerged sidewalks, throwback buildings seemingly from as far back as the late 1800's, and has a diverse, almost Berkeley-esque feel about its citizenry.  It was in this setting that the seminar “Transforming the Cellular Memory” was held.

In fact, it was after wandering around through strange, sub-terrain sidewalks and Winchester Mystery House style stairways that I ended up at the St. Joseph Cultural Center.  It was indeed an old church that itself must have dated back to the early 1900's – if not earlier.

We entered this church – which was partially connected to an upstairs art studio by a rickety stairwell – to the sound of swelling synthesizer music.  Large, Catholic orthodox archways immediately commanded my attention while simultaneously adding an even more aged feel to the building’s interior.  Everyone quietly took their seats as the music came to a swelling crescendo.  The seminar was about to begin.

Without fanfare, a small, lean man came out onto the “stage” – an elevated surface at the front of the church, presumably where the priest and congregation stood – and quietly introduced himself as Luis Diaz.  Mr. Diaz is the founder of the Body~Mind Center in Nevada City.  He is also credited for developing Cellular Memory Release (CMR), the technique of healing that was to be described this evening.

To start off the night, Mr. Diaz asked the audience to engage in a session of deep breathing.  Deep breathing, he explained, was so important because it was “the beginning of everything”.  Once we were all relaxed, Mr. Diaz and an assistant presented a slide show to us that explained the power of now.  The slide show ingeniously related the power of now by correlating it with recent discoveries of quantum physics.  For instance, atoms seem to “disappear” at will with no explanation.  Also, they seem to be somehow “influencing” each other over great distances.

These anomalies happen only in the now.  Nothing happens in the past, nor does it in the future.  However, in spite of this
