Passage of Change: A Fable Based on the Research of Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.

Passage of Change, A fable based on the research of Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. is a fully illustrated "picture book for adults" that illuminates how our beliefs and perceptions affect our biology and how changing them can literally change our whole life.

Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., a prominent cellular biologist and author, was formerly an Associate Professor of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine (1973-1982), where he taught medical students and researched muscular dystrophy. As a Fellow in Pathology at Stanford University’s School of Medicine (1987-1992), his published research on cloned human cells revealed how perception controls behavior and gene activity. Lipton’s current research on the biochemical pathways connecting the mind and body provide insight into the molecular basis of consciousness.

Dr. Lipton was excited about the idea of presenting his scientific findings in an easy to read and easy to comprehend format for the general public and was so delighted with the project that he wrote a foreword endorsing the book. In the middle of creating Passage of Change, a fable that illustrates the recent discovery that our beliefs affect our cellular biology -- for good or for ill -- Nancy Marie suddenly found out she had breast cancer. Ms. Marie was faced with a terrible choice: Should she take the disfiguring and painful treatment her doctor prescribed, or did she have the courage to put the principles in Passage of Change to the test. Would changing her negative beliefs really wipe out the deadly cancer cells that had already left her breast? She thought it would, but was she willing to bet her life on it? This story has a very happy ending. Nine months after Nancy’s diagnosis of breast cancer–with only a minimum of medical intervention–she was given a clean bill of health. Her medical team told her to just keep doing whatever she had been doing, because it was obviously working!

You don’t need to be fighting a life-threatening disease to benefit from Passage of Change. Reading it frequently can help you reconnect with what is truly important to you and enhance your internal clarity.

Nancy Marie: Biographical Information

Imagine walking down the street one day and suddenly finding yourself with the ability to "see" into other peoples’ bodies and access information about their lives, which they themselves might not yet consciously know. This is what happened to Nancy Marie over two decades ago.

Prior to that life changing incident, Nancy had majored in fine arts and was actively supporting herself as an artist. As her vision continued to broaden, she began receiving a series of teachings through her dreams, which after many years of practice became the foundation of her first book. By 1979, her life had taken on a completely different course.

Nancy has spent the last 25 years teaching intuitive development to people from all walks of life and is known internationally for her highly accurate readings and her innovative teaching techniques using breath, sound and movement. Ms. Marie is an enthusiastic and interactive speaker with a talent for explaining even the most esoteric subjects in such a way that anyone, whether on a spiritual path or not, can grasp their meaning.

In 1997 Nancy wrote and illustrated her first book, The Beckoning Song of Your Soul: A Guidebook for Developing Your Intuition, which illuminates how to use your breath, the sound of your voice and subtle body movement to activate your own intuition.

Ms. Marie’s newest book, Passage of Change, A fable based on the research of Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. is a picture book for adults that illustrates how our beliefs affect our cellular biology–and how by changing these beliefs we can literally change our lives. This book really showcases Nancy’s artistic abilities as well as her ability to explain life changing scientific information in a such a simple and whimsical manner that it becomes accessible to the general public.

Ms. Marie currently lives in Northern California with her family and is hard at work on her next book which she hopes to release in the fall of 2004.
