Stephen Lewis, Developer of The AIM Program, Co-founder of EMC², and Co-Author of the novel Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness has been exploring energetic balancing for more than 25 years. His path began with an interest in oriental philosophy combined with German psychiatry, specifically the work of W. Reich who believed energetic imbalance was the cause of all pathology.

Eventually Lewis was led to the healing arts. His degrees include acupuncture and homeopathy, both of which are forms of energetic healing. Lewis' extensive studies and research led him directly to the insights upon which EMC² 's spiritual energetic balancing technology is based. Lewis' energetic balancing technology, called AIM, has been used by thousands of individuals worldwide and has earned the endorsements of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Rev. Michael Beckwith, author Kevin Trudeau and many others.

EMC² 's purpose is to find imbalances in consciousness and offer energetic balancing as a way to assist living beings in the clearing and release of those imbalances in order to increase their well-being. Lewis has always made an explicit distinction between the healing that is the natural result of a shift in consciousness as compared to the medical trio of diagnosing, treating and, hopefully, curing. That medical trio is the work of medical professionals and is done TO you. Healing, on the other hand, is definitively in the realm of spirituality and must be done BY you. Lewis points out that true healers don't actually heal you, but rather teach or inspire you to find the healing power that you naturally possess. All healing is a result of your consciousness directing your Life Force. And, in that realm, because everything is energy, anything is possible! The character of Max in the novel Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness by Stephen Lewis and EMC² co-Founder Evan Slawson is based on the life and work of Stephen Lewis.

Roberta Hladek met Stephen Lewis in 1987 after being injured in a car accident. Having a natural attraction to alternative therapies, through a personal referral, she consulted Stephen for help. At the time, Stephen had his private practice in which he incorporated acupuncture and homeopathy in conjunction with subtle energy research, physics, oriental healing arts, philosophy and spirituality.

As Roberta experienced accelerated healing and achieved a full recovery, she was amazed that the tremendous shifts in her emotional well-being were as profound as her physical healing, perhaps even more so. This spawned her passion for Stephen’s work, so much so that she left a successful career in the corporate world, obtained a degree in homeopathy and partnered with Stephen, taking on an instrumental role in expanding Stephen's practice, and years later, in making the miracle called the AIM Program of Energetic Balancing known and available to people world-wide.

As a co-founder of the Energetic Matrix Church of Consciousness, LLC (EMC²), with Stephen Lewis and Evan Slawson, Roberta also serves as Vice President of Operations, overseas marketing and Participant Resources (such as her infamous 'Energy Goal Cards' and "AIM Essentials" conference calls), manages the office staff at the company headquarters in Las Vegas, NV and oversees EMC² Facilitators worldwide. Last but certainly not least, she is the inspiration for the character "Jennifer" in the novel Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness, Max's ever-patient assistant.

Evan Slawson likes to say he began his exploration of consciousness at birth, but knows that it began for all of us long before then, and that every moment can be a meditative experience.

He began studying hatha, kundalini and ashtanga yoga as a teenager, and helped guide others with practices such as shamanism, reiki, hypnotherapy and meditation using techniques revealed to him on his own journeys. Determined to create the ultimate harmonious balance with the spiritual forces in his environment, Evan studied the art of feng shui with Black sect grand-master Professor Lin Yun and others, and became a feng shui consultant. Using his metaphysical background alongside his work ethic, Evan worked as a screenwriter, photographer, filmmaker and technology consultant.

Having a business mind and a spiritual vision, he began working with subtle energy and Quantum Consciousness when introduced to Stephen Lewis in the early 1990s. Since then he has been instrumental in taking this spiritual technology to levels that have enhanced his personal well-being. He feels privileged to be involved with this work and hopes to help uplift globally other people's awareness of self empowerment in healing body, mind, and soul.
