“Using Universal Law to
Learn How to Love”

The underlying tenant for both The Mumford Institute and Universal Law is a very holistic approach to life and living, including health and wellness. This includes holistic health. Using a mind-body-spirit approach, The Mumford Institute seeks to present and utilize the most timely and accurate research available, and TMI staff members address health and wellness issues with this approach, as well as offering holistic ways to manage stress, imbalances, even conflicts. Understanding the fundamental triad of a mind-body-spirit approach allows us to guide people toward understanding and balancing all aspects of life, of living, and of health in ways they can live with based upon their own values, preferences, and goals.

ABOUT US

The Mumford Institute, Inc (TMI), headquartered in Myrtle Beach, SC, was developed on the foundation of Universal Law. From its beginning in 2001, the role of TMI has been the exploration of what role energy-based universal laws have in our life experiences, through observations of people’s thoughts about relationships, money, and religion. A non-denominational, spirit based, educational organization, TMI was designed to promote understanding among people in the business world of practical aspects of daily living. Based upon spiritual principles, these teachings are shared through the dissemination of information and thoughtful exchange among a wide variety of people.

This approach, based on the tenants of Universal Law (which includes the Law of Attraction), inspired TMI leaders to undertake their most recent project, a book entitled One String of Beads: Stories of Divine Love, Hope, and Diversity, in order to convey these principles more globally. This is a book about faith, and the stories of real people on very personal spiritual journeys. It is a book that is meant to inspire a global conversation, a conversation that comes from a place of Divine love and offers the peace that comes from sharing thoughts and ideas. One String of Beads is a book that celebrates our diverse humanity, and about all of the things about us that are different and the ways in which we are all the same. It is a book of hope for each one of us and for the world, a hope to hold tightly onto and to share generously.

“When my health became a concern, I reached out to Dr. Diebold for education and support in changing some poor health habits. She was amazing at ‘getting to the bottom’ of some health issues, and was kind and understanding when the going got rough. Over time, Dr. Diebold helped me to understand what was behind my behaviors, and how to change what wasn’t working. I will certainly continue to work with Dr. Diebold over time. Thank you!”
