The greatest source of help within man, which is forever available and will bring ultimate security, is the simple and direct feeling of love for God. This loving of God is the answer to more things than we can possibly imagine in this world. With true love there can be no sacrifice, in as much as the service to the beloved gives man greater joy than service to self. If love does not make one forget self in bringing happiness to another, then one has never known love. If love does not reward itself through loving, then it is not love. And if the dedication of the individual to loving the infinite Divine Source of Self is not a simple, natural, and direct affection, untouched by creeds and dogmas, he/she has not yet learned the most powerful aspects of love, that of humility and compassion. Love is allowing oneself to quietly disagree with others without the need to prove them wrong. Love is allowing others to disagree with you without separating from them. Man must gradually penetrate through every mask which hides his love for God, Creator, and Source of all energy. Man has permitted himself to obscure the power that comes of loving God by justifying hate and prejudice. He is unable to penetrate appearances or to find good in those things with which he has previously been in discord. Too many people claim spiritual insight and still live in an attitude of constant criticism and condemnation because of their own disillusionment and failures. The love of the Divine can fail only because man does not truly experience it. Once it is experienced, it cannot fail. There is no prejudice within love. The more simple and direct way to spiritual progress is through kindness, in which we sense our individual potential for good. Thus, our life of wisdom begins not just in study, but in kindness, in the gentle recognition that there are attitudes available to us if we hold them with discipline and cultivate their seeds with integrity. These attitudes will reduce confusion and make possible the peace of the soul. The life of a mystic begins with this great love of God which in itself overcomes all confusion, both of the body and of the soul. The soul loves God. If man’s ego separates him from his soul’s love of God, man feels split and isolated. There is only one way to heal the split and isolation. The way is often too simple for man’s mind to accept as real and 3 4 The Healing Arts Journal profound. However one’s soul is not found in the mind but within the heart. The mind is only an instrument of the heart, whose role is to fulfill those aspirations that our heart finds meaningful and fulfilling. When our soul is free on Mother Earth, we love our Sacred Self, others, and our world. We give up the need to divide others and classify them as good or bad. We give up prejudice and the need to condemn. We feel loving compassion for our self and our fellow man who is suffering, and wish all human beings well on their arduous journey towards SelfEnlightenment. Mystics examine their lives as wisely as possible, identifying confusion and resolving that this confusion must gradually be removed. The solution is not in neglecting responsibilities, but by guiding every action with a new method of understanding. It is far more important to our ultimate good that we shall learn patience than that we shall escape from the causes of impatience. It is more important that we gain one of the greatest aspects of love, humility, than to gain dominion over the minds or the attitudes of others. There is only one path that leads man out of misery, and that path is the practice of humility, patience, and trust in Spirit. The end of learning is not that we shall know everything, but that we shall be patient with everything; not that we shall gain all things, but that we shall discover the vanity of that which is not true; not that we shall be the masters of men, but that we choose to be the servants of love and wisdom. Mystics think with their eternal mind, feel with their eternal heart, and become one in the service of the eternal work. Only in these things does man find his completion. The natural and spiritual journey of man is simply a movement out of loneliness into the presence of the only One who can ever understand. It is the return to our Divinity within our hearts. It is a love of sharing that which is true and good. It is bringing that depth of understanding into our lives which by itself can delight the soul. If a child proves to be a wonderful person and rich in values, the soul of the parent is truly delighted. For the thing that gives the true parent the greatest joy is to know that the soul of their child is good and happy, and has found peace. The Mystic moves out of loneliness into love, out of separateness into unity, and out of the fear of life into the love of God. This motion is the fulfillment of all things, and in it all other things are perfected. While man is lonely, he is frightened, and in his fear, he seeks to build defenses. He seeks any consolation, right or wrong, that will give him a moment of escape, a second of joy in a world of uncertainty. But there can be no loneliness in God, and, when the soul has returned to its home in the lotus of the heart, it is mature, complete, and secure. It then becomes natural to organize his material concerns and responsibilities from his inner life. He will meet them and fulfill them, and always from an expanded state and depth of understanding. His works, deeds, and thoughts will be kinder. He will be moved by the love of God, and the love of God will move through him. Man’s search for Spiritual and Selfknowledge is his tremendous effort to overcome ignorance, and that ignorance is separation from God. No matter what else we may want to call it, ignorance is a state of separateness from that totality which provides and is a feeling of Unity, Oneness, and Deity. Our immortal Self is the soul and who each of us really are. Ego, our temporary personality, travels through lifetime after lifetime in the dark, until the whispers of the soul are heard through one’s inner hearing. And when the soul has once been heard, it cannot be silenced. Our souls will shake, rattle, and roll our lives to make sure we are at the right place, at the right time, for the right reason. Our lives may change and frighten us to death in the process. However, the alchemy of enlightenment will always be present and active. We will become stronger and our lives will always be better and more fulfilling. One’s soul loves goodness, wisdom, harmony, beauty, and understanding. If we do not feel this in our daily lives, our souls will begin to move us in new directions with more meaningful values. Man’s unconditioned surrender to his own love of God is surrender to his own soul. Feelings of unity are joyful to the soul. Separation is a pain, a shock, and a stress. Each time we actually give up a prejudice or harsh judgment towards another, that has perhaps become so much a part of our lives; we embrace unity, goodness, wisdom, understanding and our kinship with all of life. We embrace Love as all powerful. We can recognize the supreme fact that it is not important whether we are right or wrong. The desperate effort to defend the attitudes or convictions we hold is a false loyalty and can only bring further sorrow and tribulation. A house divided falls. We all have one common bond. We are Man, created in the image of God! We are spiritual children becoming who we are. We are many, we are One. We are all in different stages of spiritual enlightenment. We wish each other the very best and the smoothest path possible. We The Healing Arts Journal love one other. We feel compassion for the sorrow and suffering of our brothers and sisters. We allow our healing love to touch each other and the waters of Mother Earth so they may flow purely and provide health to all. We use our healing thoughts and feelings to cleanse Mother Earth of her toxins because we love her. She is born of Spirit as we are. We care about her. We care about our fellow man. We care about ourselves. Our soul is free and it is not necessary that other people agree with us. We will not separate from them as brothers and sisters for such a silly reason. We are more than that! I Am that I Am! I Am free to Love and Be Loved. And, so it is! Man is only able to create receptivity to the experience of God in his own life. Man cannot demand this. Man cannot insist that this must happen, nor can man storm heaven with a creed or doctrine. The individual, by themselves, must enter into the silence that arises out of the simple acceptance of the love of God. If and when man attains the dedicated purpose of being the living instrument of the Divine Will, he becomes ensouled with the dynamic energy of the Divine Being. Under these conditions, he is strong. True strength comes when we gain that strange dynamic which preceded creation, and from which all things come forth, the silence of the heart of God. This silence is the root of sound, and from it pours forth the colors and shapes that fashion our world. For out of the silence of the Infinite comes the clamoring of the finite. Yet this clamoring is not as strong or as great as the silence from which they came. There is no strength in clamoring, nor virtue in much noise. The virtue lies in life itself, in the richness of the power by which all living is possible. Man is divided only because he has never learned to love anything better than self, and because of this, he has never given the full devotion of his own nature. And so, by the simple act of grace, man shall learn to love, not because he expects to be loved, but only for the privilege of serving and the right to be humble in the presence of his Beloved. Then he will move away from all complexities and will become fully united. And in this union with God, he will find the end of loneliness and the beginning of the golden sun of hope. He will then find all solutions in the silence of great loving, as his own soul unites with universal power. Empires rise and fall, but love is eternal. The maturing of Love is one of the grandest works of man. My promises and commitments to self, my fellow man and Mother Earth in 2009: ● I vow to allow others to disagree with me without my need to separate from them. • I vow to allow others that do not agree with me to live in the world • I vow to agree to be able to disagree with others without attempting to prove them wrong. • I vow to be an instrument for love, harmony, and unity rather than chaos and divisiveness. 5 6 The Healing Arts Journal What incredible times we are living in. Wow! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more interesting (and scary), it continues to do so. With all the changes occurring in our country and in the world, it’s no wonder that so many are afraid, uncertain, and insecure. As I sit here writing this article, today is the day that O.J. Simpson was sentenced to prison. And as I reflect back, I realize that Simpson was a catalyst whose fame and circumstances changed the paradigm. O.J. Simpson was an icon, a true American hero. He had fame, fortune, and success. He was also the one who many believe murdered his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman and he was the one who initiated the drama of the live-feed video high speed chase, and gavel to gavel coverage of his trial and related events, the blueprint for the media circuses of the future and reality TV. O.J. was also the one who walked, the one who got away with murder. But only for a brief period did he avoid his karma. Even though OJ may have gotten away with it, at least for a time, mankind no longer could, for the OJ events signified a shift and a marker, one which triggered new and significant changes in human affairs. From that day forward, the light began shining more intensely. It began shining on the darkness, on all those things that were no longer okay. No longer was it ok to kill your spouse. No longer was it okay for televangelist preachers to have extra-marital affairs, for priests to sexually abuse young boys, for businesses to cheat people, or for people to lie, steal, or to abuse others. What followed in our world was and continues to be a dramatic exposure of all those things that are no longer okay. The planet is in the midst of revelationary change, and each of us who dwell here are too. If we examine the Book of Revelation, we will find some of the keys to understanding today’s tumult, and also tomorrow’s promises. The book tells us that change is coming. It speaks of a changing world; a world of turmoil and upheaval, followed by a world of peace, and one in which Christ Consciousness is realized. Few people welcome change. It is the stuff of fear and insecurity. Yet, we all know that the old must go before the new can come in. Oftentimes this can be painful, particularly if the person is unaware or in resistance. Today’s turmoil must be understood spiritually if one is to comprehend its true significance. Man now finds himself in a transitional period, standing at the end of one astrological cycle and positioned at the beginning of the next. The Piscean Age, the one initiated by the coming of the Christ and the one that has now concluded, is and was the time of the Heart, the period when we were to learn about love. Our current period, the Age of Aquarius, is the period where man will become the expression of the love that he has learned. The marker for the beginning of this period of higher expression is December 21, 7 The Healing Arts Journal 2012, the day when the Mayan Calendar ends. The ending of the calendar does not mark the end of the world itself, but the end of the world as we know it. It reminds me of the song by R.E.M. and its title verse: Without it, man cannot become Christ Conscious. “It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.” R.E. M. Speedway Not many in our world today feel fine, at least not yet, unless they have a strong spiritual connection and reference. In Chapter 11 of the Book of Revelation, it talks about the fall of Babylon the Great. The modern Babylon is New York City, the financial capital of the world, and indeed she has fallen. The events of 9/11 and the destruction of the World Trade Center triggered the beginning of this momentous change in human affairs. In the New World Translation (the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ bible which is a terrific and modern everyday language translation of the Bible from the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts) of the Book of Revelation is contained a chilling account of that momentous day: The symbols of American capitalism, the Twin Towers, and all those trapped inside them were obliterated in a few moments, and the nature of the world was changed forever. Please don’t misunderstand me, for I am not a detractor of capitalism, quite to the contrary. Economic freedom produces social freedom, not the other way around. The most priceless gift that God gives us is free will and free choice. Freedom. It’s a necessary essential in human and spiritual affairs. Without it, man cannot make the choices that enable him to grow and evolve spiritually. Following the events of 9/11, our government made what many believe to be a huge mistake and invaded Iraq. But a genocidal dictator was taken down and free elections were ultimately held. Most of us felt the war was about oil and in many respects it was. But the beauty and facility of Spirit is such that many effects occur simultaneously, not only in the physical world but also in the higher planes. If all men are not free, then they can not exercise their God-given gifts of free will and free choice. In a world where monarchies, sheikdoms, and military dictatorships still abound, freedom is absent. This cannot continue in an evolving world. This must change because God’s Will must and will fulfill itself, and mankind, all of mankind, must and will be free. Following 9/11, the stock market tumbled, and the financial status of Wall Street eroded. Mauricio Panisset predicted this in the early 90’s and stated with stunning accuracy, “In the New Millennium, the Stock Market will fall and never recover”. In response to the dramatic market declines after 9/11, our government started to repeatedly lower interest rates which in turn created new and fresh business and profit opportunities, namely in the housing market. Americans, how clever we are in finding new and innovative ways to make money. New mortgage lenders and financial instruments soon appeared: adjustable sub-prime mortgages, no doc loans, bad credit mortgages, and investment bundling of so-called real estate backed securities. What a new and wonderful opportunity. After all, how could one lose on real estate? This all worked out really well, at least for a while. People bought and flipped houses, and increasing values in one’s home meant more equity, new credit lines, and new cash availability. There seemed to be no end to this prosperity. But then, almost as suddenly as they fell, interest rates began to climb. Years later when the majority of adjustable rate 8 The Healing Arts Journal mortgages came due, and interest rates and defaults started to climb dramatically, the house of cards came tumbling down. Now we find ourselves immersed in the worst economic troubles since the Great Depression. Babylon the Great has fallen. The glory days of Wall Street are gone, never to return. Numerous investment banks and stock brokerages have folded, leaving shareholders and retirement accounts holding the bag. The firms that were left standing altered the very fundamentals of who they are in exchange for a government bailout and a guarantee of survival. The largest mortgage insurers in the world, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG were teetering on the edge of collapse when the government threw them lifelines for billions of dollars. And even though the house was on fire, AIG executives continued with their lavish sales meetings and expensive tastes. Another bastion of capitalism, the American automotive industry also landed on the ropes. Their chief executives recently flew in their private jets to Washington to ask for a handout. When a chilly reception followed, they decided to make their next trip in fuel efficient automobiles. And now they along with other businesses are desperately looking for government to save them, without making the tough decisions they need to make to save themselves. The line of supplicants outside the halls of Congress grows longer by the day. Even the oil companies and oilproducing countries are headed for serious trouble, as dramatic decreases in demand for petroleum have created a corresponding reduction in the price of oil. Oil companies, whose recent record profits were tens of billions of dollars per quarter, are now hoping to make millions. The world’s oil producing nations, most of whom have spent the windfall revenues before they had them, enjoyed the elation of $150 per barrel oil, which has now quickly turned into the gloomy reality of $40 per barrel and possibly less per barrel. Moreover, dangerous oil-producing countries like Russia and Iran, and rogue nations like Venezuela, whose saber-rattling and stated intentions have been to use oil as an economic weapon, have seen their once boisterous attitudes and aggressive plans thwarted, although Russia is still making threats. In this changing and tumultuous world, no one is immune and no one has been spared. In the immortal words of Bob Dylan…….The times, they are a’ changing. In his letters to the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation, the Christ (through the Apostle John) warns of the shortcomings of and dangers facing each of them. Out of these letters come passages that relate to the changes we are experiencing today. To the Church of Ephesus, his letter advised to guard against the Forces of Darkness. The Congregation of Smyrna was told it would be tested for a period of ten days. In biblical terms, a day means a year, which means we will be tested for a period of ten years (post 9/11 to 2012 is approximately 10 years). To the Church at Pergamum, he warned of the distraction of psychic phenomena, manipulation and control by spiritual gurus, and the need to heal the desire body. To Thyatira he spoke of the dangers of returning to the old ways and the need for morality. To the Church of Sardis he cautioned the congregation to be aware of Luciferic influences which seek to control through group consciousness. This is particularly telling as our country now faces dramatic intervention of government and the specter of socialism, which is governmental group control. Whenever someone or something offers to do things for you, particularly when it comes to spiritual attainment, these are the Luciferic energies at work. John also warned this group about becoming complacent and too comfortable. The Healing Arts Journal The Congregation at Philadelphia had made great progress towards the attainment of Christ Consciousness, although not everyone in the Congregation held true to this. The lesson they were to learn was that they must overcome their shadows if they are truly to become whole. So the Forces of Resistance would come into their lives to test and challenge them, and try to stop their progress. Each of us must turn and face the darkness, and overcome our own lower nature, and also the obstacles placed in the way of our journey to wholeness by the Forces of Darkness. Many of you have had, will have, or are having these types of experiences now. Know that the darkness will persist until it is overcome. Finally, to the Congregation of Laodicea, although praising them for their high accomplishment, he cautioned them not to be complacent or comfortable and to continue their walk to Christ Consciousness. Clearly today, so many have lost their comforts. All those who cannot adjust to these new energy shifts will experience significant periods of turmoil and unrest as they are purified and transformed. This unrest will show itself within and without. That which no longer serves is coming up to be healed, and fear will be a constant companion to many as it teaches them to find the light within. Those who resist will experience great difficulties, while those who have a strong spiritual connection and 9 understanding will find their center and maintain balance. Conflict, disease, and suffering will escalate in the world until mankind learns a new way and a different way of being. Governments will seek to increase their control of human affairs, and freedom, self initiative, and selfexpression will suffer and, as a result, many will look to government to save them, something that is occurring now. So man is being tasked more than ever to turn to the light, to overcome fear, and to find and express his true nature. For spiritual workers and healers like yourselves, this will also mean many new opportunities to help others and to expand your spiritual practice. It is incumbent upon each of us to do all we can to bring greater love, light, and healing into our world, and to help others to gain a greater understanding of who they are, what they are, and how they can heal themselves. In order to live in the New Day, each of us must come into resonance with the higher energies of light. All these things are necessary to fulfill the purpose for which we descended into the world of form so very long ago. So take heart, keep the faith, and know that you are an important part of God’s plan and know too that the turmoil we all face today will ultimately end as it leads us into a new world of peace, love, and harmony. And just as difficult as things seem now, in time the opposite will become true. It’s the end of the world as we know it …………….. and I feel fine. (Author’s Note: Our love and appreciation go out to Marshall Smith for his exceptional teachings on the Book of Revelation which are included in his new book, Spiritual Anatomy II) 10 The Healing Arts Journal Eliza Parker, Somatic Movement Educator & Spiritual Counselor and Delphi Student These meditations come out of a class I teach called Somatic Meditation. The word somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning body. In the class, I combine guided meditation with experiential anatomy. My desire is to help people make the spiritual tangible. I invite you to take a few moments to connect with your wonderful divine self! Introduction Our physiology offers us much wisdom. With a little information and directed attention, we can access qualities within our bodies that help us to relieve stress and be whole-ly healthy. We can see how body, mind, and spirit mirror each other and are each other. Heart Wisdom: Self-Nourishment & Connection to Source The heart physiological: continual transmission of nourishing blood, works even while we’re sleeping, has chambers for in-flow and out-flow. The heart transcendental: love, community, open-heartedness, compassion, deep emotion, giving and receiving. What incredible wisdom the heart holds! As you read this, place your hand over your lower sternum and sink your intention deeper to your heart. You may feel it beating. Breathe into this place. This organ you’re contacting epitomizes some important life lessons. Consider the coronary arteries—they “crown” the heart so that oxygenated blood goes first to the heart, then to the rest of the body. Nourishing itself is what allows the heart to continue beating and nourish the rest of you. Do you nourish yourself before, and so that you may, nourish others? We must nurture ourselves so that we can sustain our resources as we reach out to others from a healthy place. The Healing Arts Journal The other piece of this picture in need of mention is our Divine Source. It’s not that we’re selfishly granting our own wishes before the needs of others. It’s that we know our true internal source of nourishment, of everything we ever need. We’re continually connected to our Source—even when we’re sleeping, of course! Reaching out to others can flow naturally from self-nourishment and Divine Source. Look at the blood vessels in your hands. The farthest reaches of ourselves are connected to the source of life. It’s no wonder that the heart physiological presents as the heart transcendental. What better news?! Embody this Source connection, and “with all your heart,” go forth and shine! Affirmation: I welcome and receive Divine’s continual stream of nourishment, and as I do so, it flows out to others. Anatomy picture from www.dk.com Cellular fluid and the quality of be-ing The fluid inside our cells shows us about “being.” As you read this, become aware that your body is made up of billions of living cells. • Imagine one individual cell. You could visualize it, imagine yourself as one big cell, or zoom in on one of your billions of cells. • There’s fluid moving outside the cell and fluid passing through the membrane, but pay particular attention or imagination to the fluid inside the cell. Seem “out there”? Consider the chemistry of a generalized cell. The fluid inside is unique, having a different make-up than the fluid outside the cell. This fluid isn’t moving toward or away from anything— eventually it will, but in this moment it simply exists, within the cell membrane. This is the place of rest on a cellular level, the place in our bodies that demonstrates a quality of simply being. • Have you ever seen a lake or puddle of beautiful still water? Focus on this image for a moment. • As you do so, notice how your limbs and torso feel, the quality of your breathing, and your state of mind. • Know deeply that there is nowhere else to go; there is nothing else to do. Just be here. Now consider a situation in which you tend to feel stressed. • Imagine yourself in that situation for a moment. • Notice how your limbs and torso feel, the quality of your breathing, and your state of mind. Has it changed? From this place, take yourself back to the still waters of cellular fluid. • Spend a moment here in the depths of stillness. All is well. One way to use this meditation in daily life is to use the pathway you have just experienced whenever you need to find this calm place. • Another way to use this meditation is to bring this cellular quality with you into life situations. So now, invite yourself to embody this peaceful cellular place as you again imagine yourself in the stressful situation. Finding this possibility in your imagination will help you find it when stressful situations arise. 11 12 The Healing Arts Journal Know that you have this pathway and quality available as an option in your daily life. Know inside every cell you have the wisdom you need for relieving stress and for healing. Affirmation: There is nowhere else to go; there is nothing else to do, but just to simply be here. Picture from www.ics.uci.edu Our Nourishment System Part 1, Introduction: The Digestive System and Our Attitudes about Nourishment Ponder for a moment: How do you know when you need to eat? How do you decide what you want? You locate it; what action must you take? It’s in your mouth: another decision—keep going or spit out? Chewing, swallowing—you’ve taken it in. Your various organs break it down and absorb what it has to offer … …until you eliminate the leftovers. Think of a current real-life situation, choice, or relationship. Read the above again with this in mind instead of actual food. “Hard to stomach” “bit off more than I could chew” “a lot to swallow” We speak these phrases about situations in our lives, with good reason. Our bodies must have food to live; so must our souls have nourishment. The digestive system is a wonderful mirror for how we assimilate our lives. Your alimentary canal, or digestive tract, is essentially an open tube through yourself from one end to the other, with the insertion of a few ‘gateway’ sphincters. Its inner surface is continuous with your skin. This truly epitomizes the relationship of our internal world with the external! • As you read this, take a bite and swallow. Sense or imagine the journey down your esophagus, whose muscular contractions move the substance along into the stomach, left-front in the middle of your torso. Saliva and teeth already began the work of breaking down the food, but it continues here. Then, into the small intestines—more breakdown; into the large intestines where, aside from some salvageable bits, the un-usable remains await elimination. The digestive system offers wisdom about locating and receiving what we need, obtaining the nourishment it offers, and letting go of what we no longer need. • What is nourishing to you? Food, possessions, inner peace, relationships, creative ideas, divine presence, a hug? • Think of your attitudes toward food and consider if they relate to how you accept other types of nurturing. For instance, will you eat anything, or do you choose carefully? Do you enjoy, attack, or play with your food? Do you give food a lot or a little attention? Does this shed any light on how you relate to life? • On a soul level, do you look for nourishment externally or receive it from within or both? How do you deal with what you already have? The Healing Arts Journal Explore the following meditation slowly. Name something specific that is nourishing that you desire. • Decide what you want, locate it, and in your imagination sense it with all relevant senses (this includes movement!). • Imagine taking it into yourself—“taste” it, “chew” it, and decide if you still want it. • If so, swallow and accept it, welcome its nutrients. If not, “spit” it out. Affirmation: I receive nourishment for body, mind, soul, and spirit from loving, appropriate, and healthy sources both within me and without. Part 2, Small Intestines: Assimilating What is Already Present in Your Life What was the last thing you ate today, and when? By the time the food, now called chyme (“kime”), reaches your small intestines, it has been mechanically changed and prepared for further digestion. You now have the opportunity to receive the bulk of the nutrients it offers. We talk about nourishment on many levels—here is its physiological home. This is the place of evaluating what’s useful or not, of assimilating what you have already taken in. Here in the small intestines, 90% of the nutrients pass into the blood over a period of a few hours. Muscle pulsing causes the chyme to swish and swirl through a playground built for maximum absorption: - The adult small-intestine journey is about 21 feet long - The inner wall isn’t smooth, it’s corrugated (that’s more surface area) - Planted in the wall are millions of finger-like projections called villi (still more surface area) - The villi are covered by microvilli (and even more surface area) Cool, but so what? This means that we innately know how to receive nourishment, how to obtain what we need. Do you have any challenges digesting food or absorbing nutrients? Is there anything in your life that you want or need but are not getting? Sometimes these two questions are related. Just be curious. From a slightly different angle, what is in your life already that you can extract nourishment from? There may be things that you desire to add or change---but what is there now? What have you “bitten off” and taken in? What’s satisfying? What’s frustrating? • Place your hand on your mid-belly—not too high, not too low. Be in the general neighborhood of your small intestines. Breathe into your hand. Sink your awareness down into your organs. • Now choose something in particular—a job, relationship, object, or situation in which you find yourself. • Inspect it. Evaluate it. What does it have to offer? What’s the best in it? Churn it over a bit— what’s valuable? Acknowledge the good it has to offer and allow yourself to take that in. You have the innate ability to process what you have taken in and to choose what will feed you and what you will let pass through. Turn your situation into an opportunity for choice. Affirmation: In every situation, I discern what is valuable and receive the nourishment it offers. Whatever is no longer nourishing, I let pass on. 13 14 The Healing Arts Journal Part 3, Large Intestines: Letting Go of What You No Longer Need Do you sometimes find things—movements, behaviors, habits, items in your closet—that once were useful but now are not? The large intestines’ job is to make final decisions. With the help of a coating of bacteria up to 1-inch thick, the final breakdown of food happens. Then, still-useful water and minerals are absorbed, and the rest moves along to be eliminated. Scan your physical and emotional life. Is there anything lingering that you don’t need to keep around? What are the leftovers? Objects, ways of thinking, habits of behavior—these all served a purpose at one time, and now maybe you no longer need them. So here again you have an opportunity to choose—what will you relinquish? Take a moment to: • Place your hand on your belly: the large intestines wrap up one side, across the top of the small intestines, and down the other side. Take your breath and your attention/imagination to your belly organs. • Think of a particular situation, relationship, or event in your life. • Are there any byproducts from it? Is there any fear in the situation? Anything that could impinge upon your continued process of life and growth? Perhaps something is not serving you anymore. • Release those leftovers—invite yourself to let them go completely. Trust the biological process. • You may want to do something symbolic: write down what you are releasing and throw the paper into the trash can; or hold an object, inhale, and release it on an exhale. Sometimes we have to let go of the old to make room for the new. Easier said than done? Our bodies already know how! Tuning into our physiological processes can greatly support us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

The Healing Arts Journal My grandmother used to say “If these walls could talk, the stories they would tell!” Grammy was referring to the fact that the plaster walls had stood witness to all the events, good and bad, that had unfolded over the years. No doubt, there were more than a few secrets and indiscretions that lay hidden in the folds of time, locked behind closed doors, that no one ever wanted recalled… or retold. For the most part, your average person believes if they share a secret behind a locked door, then who would know? Walls don’t have ears and eyes, and they can’t exactly call up their best friend to share the details of words spoken, or deeds done in their presence. Or can they? Obviously, I am not suggesting that the walls of your home carry on conversations with each other when you are not present. That would be funny, well maybe a bit frightening. Okay, a lot frightening. The point is our walls can’t talk, right? Well, the answer may not be nearly as easy or clear cut as you may think. There is actually a whole lot of research taking place in the field of Parapsychology, and the study of Place Memories. Many researchers refer to place memories simply as Imprinting. It is no shock that people hold memories. We can recall minute details of events that took place decades ago. The smell of cookies baking in our grandmother’s kitchen, the words of a song playing when we shared our first kiss, or the way it felt to have our hearts broken for the very first time. It’s all there, the hurt, the happiness, the passion, the regret, every last memory… stored in crates in the warehouse of our minds. The science that explains how our brains can record, store, and eventually recall information is the same science that is being used to understand how places can remember too. Not long ago, a woman I met began to tell me of a ghost that haunted her home. With her eyes wide with amazement and frustration, she explained how her uninvited house guest would step through the door of her kitchen, and stand at the sink as if she were staring out the kitchen window. Then, shortly afterwards she would just simply disappear. Time after time, the woman would arrive to stand in the same spot, look out the same window, never saying a word or otherwise try to interact with the frightened homeowner. “How do I get rid of this ghost? How can I make her go away?” The woman felt desperate, and she needed answers. After some lengthy conversation I was able to help the woman to understand that the woman that repeatedly appeared in her kitchen was just an old memory of the house, an imprint left behind from the essence, the energy of the young woman that had lived there many years before. Literally, what the frightened woman was seeing was a movie clip, playing over and over, nothing more sinister or complicated. “How is that possible?” she questioned. According to the paranormal literature, ghosts sometimes do not appear to be conscious. They are completely oblivious to observers, and always look and act the same, almost like a movie being replayed over and over again. These activities are called “imprints” or “residual hauntings” in the paranormal literature. Active or 'intelligent' hauntings involve the active presence of a sentient spirit or ghost; and Residual energy imprint hauntings--often called 'residual energy hauntings' or 'imprints, and ‘place memories’ are the products of an emotional incident, often a violent event. Paranormal researchers believe that imprints occur when a vast amount of paranormal energy is left behind and is replayed time after time at the same location and often at the same time of day. Events that trigger such an energy release are fights, murders, rapes, kidnappings, or wars. Virtually any major dramatic crisis possesses the potential to become an imprinted memory on the ethers at that location Famous examples of imprints include the many Civil War Battlefields across the United States. In the battlefields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania the roar of cannon fire and the sounds of gunshots can often be heard in the evening hours. The smell of gun powder can also sometimes be detected in and around the road where fierce fighting took place for many hours during the Battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg, Maryland. 17 18 The Healing Arts Journal More often than not, it is an event of some great magnitude that is imprinted and left behind, to be replayed time and again. Other times, it can be as mundane as a screen door that we can hear slam, a creaking and rickety old latch swinging closed, a trash can lid that we hear open and close even when no one is close to it, the soft tapping of a cat’s long nails hitting a hard wood floor, even though the cat is up a tree in the front yard at that moment, or a person that is long gone appearing to come back for unwelcome visits. It is worth noting that in some situations or locations there can be a mixture of paranormal occurrences that take place. One good example of that would be the historical reports from witnesses that have been aboard the Queen Mary. The Queen Mary was in service for decades as both a World War II transport ship and a luxury liner. It wasn't intended as such at the time, but the Queen Mary was named "The Grey Ghost" during the war because of the color she was painted to make her stealthy in the war-time waters. In her time, the Queen Mary carried seasick sailors, destitute stowaways, and wealthy vacationers. With this kind of history it's not surprising she saw her own share of deaths, nearly fifty in all. In fact, there are so many hauntings onboard that some parts of the ship are now barred from the public. Of the numerous deaths, there was a young seaman by the name of John Henry, who lied about his age to procure a position on the Queen Mary, and who was soon crushed to death while trying to flee a fire. To this day, knocks and bright lights can be heard around engine room 13 where the young man met his untimely end. It’s even been reported that the door to the engine room is sometimes hot to the touch or that mixed in with a ball of light are tendrils of smoke. The Queen Mary is not only home to 49 deaths but she was also surrounded by death. In an attempt to avoid enemy ships, she zigzagged her way into her companion ship, nearly cutting it in half, and was forced to leave 300 survivors in the water to drown or be eaten by sharks. It is reported that mysterious pounding noises heard on the side of the Queen Mary are those of the men trying to signal to the crew in order to come on board. There are far too many stories to share about The Queen Mary. I will say that from the witness reports I have read, every conceivable paranormal event that known to me has been experienced by people that have visited that ship over the years. Do I believe in actual ghosts, spirits of the dead? Yes, I most certainly do. I have experienced more than my fair share of ghosts, and the experience is completely different from that of a place memory, or an imprint. A ghost is a conscious energy, which interacts in some personal way with the person that witnesses their visit. Perhaps, words would be The Healing Arts Journal spoken, or a personal message might be delivered. An intelligent or a conscious exchange of some kind occurs. A clear connection is made. My older brother used to visit me and, as much as I loved and missed him, his visits were not always welcomed. Patrick died when he was only 20 years old. His young life was cut short by a bullet. My brother and I were best friends and Patrick was a prankster that loved to play jokes on me whenever possible. In life he was quite hilarious and, since I have always had a great sense of humor, I enjoyed his funny antics immensely. About ten years after my brother died, he began to visit me with more jokes in store. The first time Patrick visited, I was anything but prepared. It had been a long day and all I wanted to do was finish the last load of laundry before I went to bed for the night. The children were finally asleep, my husband was working a late shift, and I had to be at work in five more hours. The only thing on my mind was getting to bed. I opened the dryer door and bent in to retrieve my son’s favorite jeans, when I heard a loud snap, like a wet towel had been whipped at me. I jerked upwards and swung around, fully expecting to see someone standing behind me. The only thing I found was a wet piece of laundry lying on the floor at my feet. Obviously, I needed sleep far worse than I imagined, I thought to myself. As I walked into my kitchen to shut off the lights, something caught my eye. Paper towels had rolled off the cardboard cylinder and lay piled in a heap on the floor. Inch by inch I threaded the paper towel back onto the roll, and flipped off the kitchen light. As I stepped into the living room, making my way back to my bedroom, the kitchen light came back on behind me. Unnerved, feeling as if I’d rather not go back in there, I went back to the kitchen anyway. As I stepped back into the room, I immediately could smell Patrick. His smell was his own; he had always worn specific Musk cologne with this memorable wood and citrus scent. That aroma filled the kitchen and I could feel my brother’s presence so strongly that tears ran from my eyes. The moment was so intense, so unexpected that fear had no time to reach me. Love… so pure and tangible and undeniable, filled the entire room. Patrick was there and, as he had always done in life, he showed his love and affection by playing his pranks on me. I stood there for a time, my eyes racing around the room hoping to see my brother appear before my eyes, and praying if he did appear I wouldn’t die of a heart attack. Luckily, neither thing happened. I just stood there for a time, tears flooding my face. My heart felt his love and I knew he could feel my love, my hurt, and just how deeply I had grieved for him. That was the first time my brother visited me. For a time Patrick would arrive randomly to play pranks on me and other family members. As time has passed, his visits have become very rare. Still, when he does visit there is some kind of interaction, an exchange of emotion and energy. Sometimes, my brother is a ghost and there is no mistaking between my many memories of him, and his actual visits. My experiences with Patrick are not historically unusual. This photo was reportedly taken in Marblehead, Massachusetts, during a séance in a house where a mother murdered her children and then committed suicide. The séance, coordinated by psychic researcher John Spence, was held in the house after a new resident complained of a ghostly presence and felt influenced to harm her own children. In the photograph there appears to be the semi-headless shape of a woman in a dark dress with a large white bow, as well as the dark, faint shapes of several children. Below is the original photo on the left, and on the right I cropped just the image that is believed to be images of the ghosts that haunt this house. Other phenomenon reportedly took place at the séance, including a rug folding itself into the letter W, cold spots, the formation of visible energy orbs and rays of neon blue light, and the odors of ozone and a cloying sweet decay. After the séance, the residents moved out and the house remained vacant for several years. As for events that get trapped, or imprinted on the location where they occurred, it is still not generally understood how these “imprints” take place. Some popular theories include the notion that the building materials “soak up the energy” of the location and replay these stored energies at a later time or, it is energy stored in the atmosphere which is activated by atmospheric changes, or changes made in the building structure. It is important to point out that in cases of imprinting, where a terrible event has occurred, the event and individuals appear to replay the acts as if caught on film. In hauntings, the apparitions and reported paranormal phenomena are said to often 19 20 The Healing Arts Journal occur at more random times, and the activity of the ghosts seem to have some type of intention, or purpose. Many times, in haunting situations the ghost will work very hard to communicate with a loved one, or perhaps a homeowner that has moved onto a particular property. More often than not the homeowners are too frightened and confused to appreciate the paranormal event. In some cases where a haunting becomes extremely menacing, or residents feel threatened, help will be brought in. Whether a situation is an imprint or an actual haunting, an experienced Medium can be used to gain information and control of the situation. Mediums can ‘psychically scan’ a location’s walls, and other surfaces to gain information and insight into the events. When the situation warrants, a Medium can also communicate with the spirit of the dead person that haunts a location. It has been my experience that once communication happens, questions are answered and remedies found, and the haunting often ends. A quick solution is rare, but as with any emotional situation, communication is the key in finding peace for everyone. A new term has been adopted by many Real Estate Agents, Lawyers, and Banking Officers. ‘Psychologically impacted,’ is a phrase used to describe a house and property that is considered haunted. It matters little whether it is haunted by ghosts, or suffering from imprints. The words will be debated by all involved but chances are excellent that ‘psychologically impacted’ will be a permanent phrase on the deed of the property. So to anyone that still doubts the credibility or the possibility of a haunting, proof may be as close your legal library. As far as a simple imprint may go, the legal and financial experts are not interested in the science or the terminology used as much as they are concerned with the financial impact. Many people are equally frightened by an imprint, as a ghostly apparition. Personally, I rather deal with imprints if I have a choice. There is currently ongoing research unfolding that hopes to not only gain a greater understanding of the science behind imprinting, but to one day use the knowledge gained in a variety of ways. One of those ways in particular I find extremely exciting. A good friend and colleague of mine, Dr. William George Roll, explained in scientific terms the impact place memories could have on the future of crime solving. Imagine if you will, a team of Crime Scene Investigators being able to use a high tech machine capable of playing back an actual crime in every single detail, exactly as it happened when the crime was committed. That may seem like science fiction to the average person, but the realization of this is not so complicated a technical challenge as it may seem. It has been long established that we as humans are beings that are made up mostly of electrical impulses… energy. Energy waves/impulses can certainly be read, deciphered, and manipulated. If you have ever walked into the middle of a huge fight between two people, you have experienced the intensity of the energy being exchanged. Even if those two people sat silently as you arrived, or never even exchanged a single glance between them, you would physically ‘feel’ the energy in the location. Now, take that situation and multiply it by 1,000 times and you get a better sense of the energy that was imprinted at a crime scene, precisely as the crime was taking place. As you can imagine it is quite dramatic, and extremely physical in nature. It is that level of imprinting that will be used one day to solve the most heinous crimes. If you are a criminal you may find this fast approaching technology less than desirable. All the rest of us have something very amazing in which to look forward. I personally believe we will see a drop in crime like never before believed possible. How much fun could it possibly be to commit a crime if you know some CSI team will arrive afterwards to see you commit the actual crime? Even the dumbest criminal cannot believe they will get away with a crime caught on tape. Of course crimes of passion will see little decline, but the court systems will be far less bogged down, so the trials will not take nearly as long, and the verdicts will become clear. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of people that are currently dealing with imprints and place memories that are more concerned with the immediate annoyance of having an event or person visiting their home far too often. One sure way to eliminate the memories that imprinted on a location is to replace the old surfaces. Fresh drywall, some new paint, or an old door replaced might be a small price to pay for letting go of the past, or in some cases….for getting the past to let go of you. Imprints, or place memories, as annoying as they may quickly become for some of us, are showing great promise for the future of crime solving. Personally, I find this particular research extremely exciting and the potential uses and benefits for all of us in the future can only be considered nothing short of miraculous!

I would not have believed that I could have felt, learned and experienced so much in an online course. The interaction and the expansion of consciousness are nothing short of cosmic. I went from thinking there was “nothing to do and no place to go” to “knowing my connection to God and knowing my connection to my heart.” Thank you Patricia for your wisdom, guidance and loving presence here on earth. You are truly amazing. Dr. Renee Lanier PhD – Florida Dear Patricia, These meditations turned out to be the most powerful experiences I have ever had, not only the experience but the meaning behind it all. I feel as if there was so much poured into my essence. I feel solidified right to the depths of my Soul. Just when I thought the worst that could happen to me was the moment that I was ready for this Initiation as an Illuminati in the Brotherhood of the Suns. I realized that I was in a very humble stance, one that left me open, really open to receive. I sigh in wonder! Shirley Northrup – Canada Dear Patricia, I thank you for your guidance and Love with this amazing meditative process. I feel a much deeper love of Self. I have really had to stretch in my physical world to complete the required readings and meditations. It has been a joyful experience. I have gained so much more in working in the Light. My devotion to God and my Self has grown tremendously. I just want to say thank you for your love and devotion to all. I look forward to working with you again in the next course. Love you, Lisa Fraine – West Virginia Dear Patricia, This course has been amazing. There is so much knowledge imparts with the text and then with the meditations. Many areas of my life have shifted with this single course. I feel empowered, fulfilled and humbled by this beautiful energy work. I have seen relationships change overnight. My body has released craving and desires that are no longer healthful. I feel so light. Thank you for bringing this course to us. Namaste, Beth Yates – Virginia Dear Patricia, This class for me was a sealing of my transformation. I was questioning myself for a long time, but this class has secured my journey on this path that I choose to follow. I was struggling with old attachments, low energy ego, judgment…. Where does this stuff come from? Am I learning to grow toward fulfillment? Why am I still stuck in this much of low ego? Am I fooling myself? I have all these questions and confusion. No, I wasn’t fooling myself. I was being drawn back into the remnants of dark energies accumulated over life times. This time, in this class I really recognized it, and thank God and you Patricia; and this powerful lineage of seekers and teachers. I was able to release it. I have so many to thank and to also be thankful for these lessons, teachings, energies that enable me to fulfill this opening up. Each day I give thanks and know that Being: present, connected, still, giving, receiving, love and peace, is the greatest gift I can give to those that have and are helping me. Thank you so much Patricia. My teacher, I will love you always, Jai Bhagwan – Ohio The Healing Arts Journal Good Afternoon Patricia, Dear Patricia It was wonderful hearing from you. I need to tell you that when I was listening to the CD's of your Energies of 2008 Workshop, and you were talking about Marshall's meditation and the image he received about the old man with energy emitting from him and the woman walking on the high path towards earth. I was totally taken back by what you were revealing. Why I was so amazed is that one of the Entura art drawings I did, calling upon the Pleiadians, is what Marshall saw in his meditation!! I wish I was knowledgeable with the computer system so that I could scan the drawing to you. Needless to say, I was flabbergasted!! I just wanted to tell you, once again, how much I love doing RoHun Therapy to help so many people. My respect for the process continues to grow as I see amazing transformation happen. Every so often I find myself saying, wow, I really get it now! And then laugh because I know I'll say it again sometime down the road. I am doing so much better than I was during the past year. I am feeling abundant, living my life in abundance and am truly happy to be present on earth. I believe for the first time I can say that with passion. For I have found the passion for life on earth - not just putting in time, waiting for death. I have learned to live in the here and now and to be filled with joy at being able to do so. Oh, I have my ups and downs, doesn't everyone? But there is not much that can keep me at the point of wishing I were elsewhere. I have changed some of my career choices - giving up some of the things I was doing that I had outgrown and embracing more exciting, lighthearted things that bring me FUN and PASSION. I think, for the first time in my life, I am truly living. I have purpose and have found my niche. I truly believe that I have been blessed with this eyeopening experience. I thought I would let you know about this since I truly believe that the enlightenment correspondence courses have brought me to this level. I hope you don't stop having them. I find that I grow in leaps and bounds from participating in the meditations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. In love and light, Shirley Northrup Canada I keep wondering why more people don't know about RoHun and think I am supposed to help get the word out. My book should be out soon and an instrumental CD called Wings of Light is in the works. I feel creation bubbling up inside of me so often that I feel completely blessed. So thank you! Thank you for trusting yourself so completely that this gift could flow through you, and for all the energy you contribute to the world. I hope you and Marshall are well, and that you feel the support of so many who have been awakened by RoHun! Love from Amy G. Martin CT Dear Kimberly, Charles, Janice, Steve, Linda and Judy, I know you already know this but I’m compelled to write it anyway. I just have to tell all of you how grateful I am to have found you. My experiences at Delphi were truly enlightening. In every part of me and in my soul I felt that I was home. I am so much happier within myself knowing I can come to Delphi to learn and do what I’ve always felt myself to be real and true. I loved every single minute of my time there with you. I feel so connected to each of you in a way I’ve never felt before. There’s been a void in me that is hard to explain, but I feel it is beginning to be filled. Words really fall short of what my heart is trying to express. I just know that I need to be at Delphi to learn all that you have to teach. I am so excited for my future and I have not felt this way in a very long time. Thank you so much! Each and every one of you is a gift to this world, and I feel blessed to know you and learn from you. I will return in February to continue my journey with you. Until then, I wish you all beautiful holidays surrounded by much love and happiness. Love, Janice Sinisi 25 26 The Healing Arts Journal I never understood my acute fascination with spiders. They can hide in a space and you would never even know they were around. They are quiet and self-contained. They rely on the energy of another to exist but they are incredibly creative beings. And they build the most amazing labyrinths in which to live, with very little resources. Most of which they create comes from inspiration from within. This is how I was in the world in my desire body. My emotions and my thoughts, that is. As multidimensional beings, mind, body and spirit, we have both negative and positive aspects by experience. One of the negative aspects of self was one created by my inner child and set free in my adult. Nurturing the positive aspects allows for integration to a self-actualizing level and the experience of joy in my life. First, I must understand the suppressed thoughts and feelings in order to empower myself and grow into my spiritual nature. Seeing and understanding the spider nature within myself has allowed me to accept my own nature, my reason for being in the physical experience this lifetime. By suppressing my emotional one, I created a very complex system to avoid feeling. I told myself that emotions are not pleasant and that to be happy I must avoid feeling them at all costs. But I was not happy. In fact, I did not even know what the nature of sheer joy was. Nor did I understand why I could not remember my life before the age of five. And least of all did I understand the two events were connected. That is until I was able to trust my true spider nature and feel again through the Yhandi process. I heard stories and I believed that is exactly what they were, stories. Stories about abuse and how the victims never remembered a thing and I thought how can that possibly be? How could someone be so powerfully affected by such an abusive event that they would not want to remember it? Wouldn’t they want to remember something like that for the rest of their lives so it never happened again? But, what I didn’t realize is that this information and the reasoning that accompanies it, takes place in the mind, not in the space we call emotion. Our emotional body is so traumatized by the event that it cannot even fathom it happened. Our etheric body is essentially shattered, as a result of the event. After all, it was robbed of its innocence, its freedom, and virtually its life. For when you have been in the arms of abuse, the trauma and the post trauma is dramatically escalated in your life, whether you are present and aware of its unfolding or not. In an effort to allow the being to live, our emotional body, screaming to get out, is silenced by our thought body. Our mind tells us “its okay” and “just move on”, never giving credence to the fact that there was a (negative) experience or even how we felt about it, and never allowing us to move through the experience and gain the valuable lessons from within; the lessons that were designed to empower or move us forward in our spiritual growth. When you are ready, great sadness will enfold you. But in its embracing, there is a great love for self, for that part of you that died in the trauma of the human event. This was the feeling I experienced in the unfolding of my Yhandi experience. There is great joy in feeling the acknowledgement of the emotional child and in telling her it was not her fault. I feel so happy to tell her I am so sorry for ignoring her pain. I thought in my mental self, if I denied this pain, it was not real. But she kicked and screamed and she made me look at her, hurt and ragged. Tired and sore from my abuse, I held her and begged her forgiveness. I was so wrapped up in not feeling my own pain, that I totally ignored her. It also made it impossible to feel anything in my life. I really did not know the experience of joy, only sadness. It simply never occurred to me to know she was in pain. I blamed her. It was her fault in my mind. Maybe if she hadn’t been “so innocent” maybe we would have been left alone. But somewhere deep inside, I knew this was not true either. I knew on some level that I agreed. I knew if I am to heal, on all levels, she must forgive me, I must forgive her, and I must embrace her. I knew on some level that I agreed to all the experiences, abusive ones included, in order to feel my greatness, my God essence. Funny, I thought, my grandmother used to say “what does not kill us, makes us strong”. The Healing Arts Journal The abuse began at a young age and it felt karmic for whatever reason. On some level I always knew it would be me in this lifetime to stop the ancestral link. I felt a strong desire to do things to others in my care but I would never act on those feelings. I often wondered where those thoughts came from but I would bury them quickly like a spider, before anyone ever felt them. I knew to touch another in that part of their energy was an invasion and I refused to go there. It was so important for me to avoid creating the situation of victim and abuser that I spent a large part of my life allowing, rather than being. I would remove my ability to discipline rather than risk hurting another in the way that I had known. All I can remember is that beautiful spider web and how my essence clung to each thread. It glistened and glowed even in the deepest part of my existence and I felt the dying breath of my child, begging to be recognized. I was full of rage and for fear of hurting others (as I had been hurt) and so I turned that rage inward. I rationalized with myself on ‘how could she (my inner child) have been so stupid’. It was all her fault. Blaming seemed to be the only way out. I couldn’t possibly feel the pain. If I exist as a spider on the wall, no one will ever see me. And so I did. My energy became almost invisible. I could exist on the energy of those around me and I did not need to feel. My existence was bleak, purposeless. I felt nothing most of the time. Just the day to day existence, and the drudgery of the world surrounded and swallowed my meager existence. After a while though, you get tired of the game. Then true freedom begins to reveal itself in the opportunity to be humbled and humiliated, to feel the pain of the experience, embrace the depth of your anguish, and forgive yourself. First in small ways, one has little experiences, and then each small experience blossoms and you find greater ways to recognize you have love and the importance of sharing your own love with others. In my hurt and pain, in my attempt to blame my child, I totally abandoned her and, in doing so, I abandoned myself. I abused my mind with judgment and self-criticism. I abused my physical body with outside elements. I abused my emotions by stuffing them and denying their existence. Repression, revenge, anger, and rage to name a few. In my mind, my life was much too painful, all of it on an immature emotional level. I knew on some level that I could never allow my self to experience so much (abuse) or I would self-destruct. I would rationalize with my feelings. But I was setting the stage for a more subtle self-destruction every day of my life by not honoring my feelings. By not honoring the existence of my feelings, by ignoring the fact that I had undesirable thoughts, I was killing my emotional body. What I did not understand was the impact of feelings. I feared the fear instead of allowing it to teach me. And because I did not learn the lesson, the same surfaced over and over again. Each time, a little more intense. In that moment of intense physical pain and retching, I felt the disgust of the act. I felt totally humiliated and annihilated. I attempted to reason that I should have known better but I was only a child and it is not possible to defend self at that age. I felt the betrayal of my caregivers and of myself. I felt how I had abandoned my child and blamed her for all the events and resultant pain and I knew deeply that she was not responsible. I knew she had been herself the victim of all she knew. I felt compassion for my betrayers and for myself. I felt the deep unwavering love of the Holy Spirit in my physical space, entering my visionary. I felt a deep knowing that it was not her fault and I told her how sorry I was for all I had accused her of. I told her how I was hiding from my own pain of the experience but now I have insight, inner knowing and it was not acceptable for me to abuse her now and to abuse my physical, emotional, and mental bodies. I held her tight in my heart and asked for her forgiveness to which she joyously said “yes”. I have spent years forgiving others for “what they had done to me” only to realize they were only fulfilling the plan; only to realize the only one I truly had to forgive was myself. I know now, she is alive, my child. She waited like a spider, “hanging by a thread” in her emotional body, waiting patiently for me to find my peace within. She comes to me often. Since I have been able to forgive me and her, I feel her beauty and her innocence flowing within. I know her foundation is strong, like a rock and well-formed. I see her working, flowing freely in my emotional body. She lives within the creative waters of my life. She is not afraid to create in the emotions. Her beauty, peace, and understanding arise from her feminine self. She is well planted, well grounded here on mother earth and she feels a very strong protection for the earth and all of its creatures. I feel her creating from a space of freedom and flow. Her ability to manifest in the world is immense. And I am grateful that she rested in the energy of the spider until I was able to set her free. As I pulled the essence of a pink rose within my cellular memory it became apparent to me that no one can take my inner essence from me. It is my choice to be my power or to surrender it in the world. My emotional body suffered the consequences of my actions but how quickly we heal when we engage all of our bodies to feel, sense, and be in this world. This lifetime is the only lifetime that matters! The mental body or the adult is the one who uses the masculine energy to create. As a spider the doing of life flowed from this end. Since emotion follows thought, my child would create from the thoughts of the adult. When our thoughts are of the shadow, from fear and anger and rage, our emotional body attracts similar experiences that match similar thoughts with feelings. Existing as a spider gives the opportunity to learn to anesthetize your prey before you devour it. Such was the energy of the emotional and mental bodies. Learning in this way one will create from experiences of power and control, victim and abuser, and the list of dysfunctional activities goes 27 28 The Healing Arts Journal on. But when we are enlightened within these two bodies, the spider may find her divine self free, free from the web of deceit. We are not meant to be attached. We are vastness upon ourselves, free in our feelings, free to create. Because of our incarnation with choice we are free to ascend to greater feelings of awareness. Now as a spider, I am able to create great intricacies within my life and nourish those abilities. I am able to choose beauty and joy in which to ebb and flow. One learns so much from the shadows, for they are one of our greatest teachers. There is great importance in honoring their lessons, forgiving ourselves and releasing them into the light for further planetary and individual healing to occur. The stability and healing of the planet is in our hands and in our hearts. As man ascends to live in our fourth chakra, the heart, there are so many things we are gratefully allowing to move within our bodies. Our mental and emotional bodies must mature and harmonize. They must “become” in order for enlightenment to truly be realized. We must be willing to be responsible for the maturation of our emotional and mental bodies, bringing them into the light, allowing them the mobility of movement within the heart to further restore order and balance within our lives. We must be willing to take responsibility for honoring the processes of enlightenment by which we grow. We must energize our hearts daily and feel the importance of true vision through the alignment and balancing of our seven chakras. The process of Yhandi’s Inner Light recognizes the importance and immediate balance of these bodies in our physical existence. Within the space of Yhandi’s Inner Light we are able to feel our wholeness, our truth, and our God essence in a vast inner space here and now. In my state of delusion, I kept waking. Looking, searching for the reasons but never understanding, never quite embodying the lessons. Feeling raw and exposed I kept awakening, my covers removed. Over and over again, I felt the surrender. Over and over again, with each incident, I hid in my delusion. Refusing to look. Refusing to understand. Unable to listen or feel, numb and frozen in my delusion of pain. It was in the rawness and the exposure of the situation that I was able to embrace the lesson. To feel to the depth of Hell and back, my glory, my love reclaiming my life. Beckoning to my child and my adult to communicate, to weave their alchemy sweetly and softly. I just kept waking - the covers off of my physical body - the humiliation of exposure of my raw feelings, the death sentence, and futility of my thoughts. My mind and emotions were exposed to learn the depth of the lesson. It is in the physical exposure, in the rawness of feeling, in the total hearing and acceptance of the thought that my freedom is embodied. It is in the surrender and forgiveness of all of these that my Self, my Soul is free. I kept hearing “dark night of the soul” with each embraced incident. With the acceptance of the teachings and acclamation of the lessons learned, it is in this space that I touched God within me. Such an intimate experience it is. Such a life giving experience it remains. The physical walls around me creaked with each embrace of the lesson, as if to free the stickiness of the pattern, the web revealed. With each realization embraced within the heart, I felt the barriers to my ability to live and enjoy my life torn down. I felt the laying of new foundation built in love and strength. It is in the appreciation of the lesson and in gratitude and love for the perpetrator that forgiveness of self and true freedom are possible. It is through our decent as spirit into matter and ultimately our forgiveness that we ascend within the state of Grace; within God within ourselves. I was learning the futility in denying my greatness, my essence, my God connection. It was everything to embrace my shadow and my goodness, my love and my light; for I am all of these. In the soft, sweet whisper of the rain, my love was embraced; exposed by the raw wind of relationship, tossed in the ocean of emotion, misunderstood by the mind until the forgiveness of the heart was realized. My life as a spider has allowed for many lessons; abuse, victimization, control, power, misery, poverty and so many more. Countless blessed opportunities to learn and grow. There were hidden blessings within the meanings of the teachings by the shadows. There were the teachers themselves who served the shadows who ultimately serve the light. Humbly we learn to allow, to breathe with great distinction, to forgive at most, ourselves, and to be within, our feet physically planted, here now in this physical world but with our hearts of balance and head, our vision of spirit, in the clouds. Our goal is bringing spirit into matter. Our lives, forever touched by the forgiveness of the lessons we grow to love and the greater vision of Self we keep, we embrace, we choose to embody. We can choose something new, something beautiful, if we desire. But only after we have gratefully chosen to love ourselves in our shadows. It is truly up to us to decide. Of all of this I have learned with grace to accept myself wherever I am on this journey. Some call it courage, some call it will. I call it love. The most intimate love for Self is the pursuit of God within. Personal enlightenment is just that. Personal. What will you create? The Healing Arts Journal By Christine M. Prevete, MhD I had almost declined my sister’s expectant invitation to the annual parade. It was July 4th and this is what my family does. I wondered if I really needed to keep doing this. My thoughts reviewed quickly all of the years of feeling different from my other family members. Should I be the one to break the tradition? I looked at my 3 year old son, ready to see the fire trucks, and off we all went. There is usually a large group, and this year was no different as we added my niece’s boyfriend. As watched from the same spot we’ve claimed all of our lives, I saw the enjoyment on this new friend’s face. I told him that this tradition began with Teresa’s great-grandparents (my Nana and Grandpa). They moved out from the city to the center of Long Island when roads were still unpaved. He served as a fireman and had a truck with a plaque in his honor. She served as Postmaster for 2 years and both were involved in service to their community. My mother and aunt were majorettes for the marching band; my uncle made and sold the best food in town. These are just a hint of the sweet things I remembered, all of them traditional with honor. My niece’s boyfriend enjoyed hearing all these fond memories, like riding in the parade on the back of grandpa’s truck….. The story sharing made my heart open. My mind began to drift and reflect on how long I had thought that I was so different from all of them. I openly abandoned our family religion…. I was never politically active…. I wasn’t involved in any major real estate ownership…. I have pursued education in many areas that were very different from them all…. But right in this moment I realized that perhaps I was like them, and it was good. I am in service, with dedication and from the heart, just like them, right from the center of Long Island. I founded Earth Angel Center and live my devotion to adding Light to this place and this world. My doors are open for spiritual counseling, group education, free talks of inspiration and healing for those who are seeking. I am still surrounded by a large family that now includes many friends of Earth Angel Center. My heart feels the fullness of the truth embraced at Delphi, “We are Many, yet We are One.” So different from my relatives and yet silently taught by each one of them. I walk my unique path, inspired by a loving tradition of service, from my family on Long Island and at Delphi. Many years ago, I embraced the loving energy of St. Francis. When I was confused about religion in my youth, I found comfort in his prayer which is still displayed in my house. To this day I quickly soften from his guidance to ask, “How may I serve?” Again, I did not realize I was asking the same question my family members had asked over the years. I am answered, “….from the Heart ….of Long Island.” How may you serve? We each have so many wonderful qualities, from our life experiences, our education, and most importantly our hearts. All of it is needed in the world. Your unique contribution is needed by someone, right where you are, today. How may you serve? The world is waiting for you. Christine Prevete is serving from the Heart of Long Island, as a Doctor of Metaphysical Healing, Healing Works International Practictotioner and Ordained Minister. You are welcome to contact her at www.EarthAngelCenter.com By Coco McClaine I wish to meet Me. I began to search for Me. I found Me. I looked at me…left, right… up, down…inside, outside.
