🎭 Speaker Spotlight 🌟

Sudha Rani Kailas, MD, PhD - Holistic Psychiatrist

Dr. Sudha Kailas explores the profound role of sound on mental and physical health, its influence on shaping our inner and outer worlds, and the universal significance of sound across spiritual traditions. As the most subtle form of matter, sound transcends boundaries of culture and belief, weaving emotion and connection through the human experience. While the noise of modern life can disrupt well-being, the intentional and conscious use of sound—especially through mantra—offers a powerful tool for healing and transformation.

This session delves into the science and mysticism of mantra, illustrating how sound vibrations influence physical, emotional, and mental states. Dr. Kailas will guide attendees through the art of harnessing sound as a therapeutic practice, offering insights into its tangible effects on well-being and consciousness.

✨This isn’t just another CE/CME event—it’s an experience designed to ignite your creativity, deepen your professional insights, and inspire personal growth. Creativity and Madness 2025 is where continuing education meets transformation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shubh Dhanteras! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Happy Diwali! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On this brilliant Dhanteras, second night of Diwali, Lord Yama is revered! Also known as DharmaRaja, YamaRaj determines the fate of our souls as we depart our bodies by collecting them in a mace at the time of death. This beautiful imagery makes the transition potentially inviting! Based on the virtues of the soul’s lifetime, Yama either purifies the soul and grants it the freedom of Swarga Loka, or the soul moves on to Naraka, or Pitru Loka, where its actions are assessed. While Naraka is comprised of 28 various chambers of temporary purgatory across the universe, some of them are quite dark, and souls may become trapped in the density, without an opportunity for rebirth.

In balancing the energies summoned forth in the worship of Yama, Diwali concludes with Lakshmi Puja on Karthik Amavasya, the new moon of October/November, when the sun and moon both reside in Tula Rashi, or the sign of Libra, known for its generous, conscientious, peacemaking values. The most magnanimous, inextinguishable illumination of Maha Lakshmi Devi sustains the sign of Tula and her presiding graha, Shukra, aka Venus. Shukra is presently residing as the evening star, one house down in Vrishchika Rashi, and is most revered as the planet of love, beauty, stability, balance, and harmony. It is the ever-present golden light of Maha Lakshmi Devi that both illumines and illuminates Shukra and also us here on Bhoomi Devi, our dear planet Earth.

⭐️ Om Shreem Hreem Kleem Hreem Shreem Maha Lakshmayae Svaha! ⭐️

May the luminescence within you glow brightly as we surrender to the oncoming darkness of winter. May YamaRaj observe our loved ones in Pitru Loka with kindness and bring them back to us in a gentle and loving manner. And may we all continue to remain in service to one another with humility and grace until our time comes to transition into the hands of Yama.

Jai Sri Mata!

We are living with a global prevalence of depression and anxiety. More than 1 in 10 youth face mental health challenges that severely impair their ability to function. In the world of disrepair, it is common for people of all ages to look to social media to understand their symptoms. The jargon of our mental health industry has permeated day-to-day vocabulary, such that people commonly diagnose and label themselves without even being seen by a professional. Sadly, because of this paradigm shift, we no longer take responsibility for our state of mind or mental health; instead we lean on the crutch of diagnoses and labels to shirk the responsibility of personal growth and development.

If we are indeed within a global renaissance of awakening, with the desire to create a harmonious existence between the 8.1 billion people and the natural world, it is time we take back the duty to ourselves and one another in growing ourselves in honor and integrity.

This presentation addresses mental and physical health and broadens our understanding of the psyche and underlying interconnectedness. It will serve the audience by helping them understand the psyche through the lens of Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurveda, the knowledge of life (from Sanskrit, Ayur - life; Veda - science/knowledge), is a natural system of eternal medicine that allows understanding of the physical form at an elemental level. Within the teachings of the Vedas, the Koshas, or psychic sheaths, explain how the physical body serves as a vessel for the inner workings of the mind. In essence, everything manifesting in physical form arises from the mind.

Join us in Santa Fe, New Mexico, or virtually on demand for our continuing education conference August 1-4, 2024!
