Opening Remarks
A beloved family member crossed over on August
22. Cecily (or "Gamma" to our daughter Maria) struggled with cancer
for 14 years. We were deeply saddened by Cecily's death. Interestingly, several
days after she died, the Closing Prayer below was submitted by one of you. I had
not seen this one before. If you believe in synchronicity as we do, you would
believe that the timing of this prayer submission to my inbox was no accident.
And perhaps for some of you out there, it is no accident that it is now in
yours.
If you believe Spirit exists everywhere and in everything. And is present in not
just in this material reality but in unmanifested realities as well, you will
love our newest course by Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls. This is a fascinating
course, which offers different ways of thinking and unusual and profound
exercises. Find details below. September for many means back to school and a
time for learning and transition, embrace this mindset and make this a season
for learning and healing.
Blessings for Love & Peace,
June Soyka Cook

A Coping Blurb from Art: Tips for Coping with Difficulties
By Arthur Soissons-Segal, Ph.D. ~ Therapist and Brain Tumor Survivor
|
YOU CAN, a slogan on the
National MS Society website
says it all. For too many of us, our disabilities are viewed at the expense of
our abilities. The LA Times wrote of persons with disabilities who learned to
ski. You never know what's possible until you try. While coping with difficult
situations, we can experience joy when we discover new skills, talents and
strengths we have overlooked.I can't play ball or run around, but when I
discovered I could write poetry, wow, my day changed from gloom to joy. Learn
how to change gloom to joy. Build your abilities. Put some fun in your life.

The Joy of Coping: Coming to Terms with Cancer, MS, Stroke, Anxiety or Another Debilitating Illness.

Techniques for Recalling Dreams
By Laura Grace
|
Personal dream symbols have significant meaning for you, depending upon your
life experiences and perceptions. There is no such thing as an "objective
experience" because we color situations and events with our past
experiences. Make a commitment to remember your dreams and learn your own
"dream language" for several months. As you do so, your dreams will
become easier to remember and understand.
This concludes this series of dream recall tips.
[Find the full list of tips here.

Finding Your Spiritual Soul Mate: September Tip
By Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway
Consciously create your own soul mate reality
Hollywood movies provide plenty of fodder to inspire hope in sacred love. As
well as fill our psyches with images of "perfect love" that is unattainable to
most of us and impossible to maintain every moment of the day for the rest of
us. Hollywood gives us the added advantage of being able to create our own
reality, stories, drama and personal legends. It's important to live the legend
that is personally...

The Myth of Time: Improve Your Life One Deadline at a Time
By Sandra Lee Schubert
|
Along the way I picked up some real bad habits about doing things on time.
Unlike the commercial that admonishes me to "just do it" I will do
anything else. So if you tell me how difficult it is to get to your writing I
will understand. I am right there with you, in fact we should go get coffee and
talk. We can get back to pen and paper later. Who am I kidding? Life is about
meeting deadlines. Whether you like it or not, a deadline can improve your
creativity ...

A Green Note ~ Keep Drinking Water Clean: Avoid use of hazardous chemicals
By Judy Morgan, Environmentalist
Water is an essential substance required by all life on this planet. Yet we
often treat water carelessly, using it wastefully, dumping chemicals down drains
and into waterways. Any potentially harmful substance poured down drains or
toilets will end up in wastewater. Some of the contaminants will not be removed,
and will end up in waterways (rivers, streams, lakes, etc.) and in our drinking
water supplies. What can you do?

Vegetables: A Great Source of Calcium
Until recently, milk was widely revered as a great source of the all-important
mineral Calcium. Perhaps this is because milk is white, like the bones and teeth
it serves. But vegetables also serve as an excellent source of Calcium, the
superstar of the mineral family. Enjoy these nourishing vegetables, which
provide your body with a great source of Calcium...

Laura LV of France emailed us this comment about this course:
"Your course is one of the best things on the web! My warmest thanks for
this inspiring course. Every single soul should take it! The feelings of peace
and hope that it brings are very powerful and of great help for those who, like
me, feel in a turmoil and need to redirect their life into a luminous path of
better understanding, compassion and love. This is a unique web experience! God
bless you."
Dr. Sally Witt, Center for Healing & Training, PA recently
wrote us saying
"Sept 21/22 is the Equinox. This will be a time of great energy flux. Use
it for a time of personal meditation. There are so many changes right now.
Unless you are in the path of the Hurricane or on the fringes, don't worry about
the Hurricanes and other changes. This is all evidence that there is a time of
huge energy shifts and changes. Everything will be better soon. Things are
accelerating and coming to a new and wonderful time. Be open to the change!"
(Sally is developing an e-course with us on "Releasing Fear." Look for
it in the coming year.)

This Month's Holistic Prayer
Safely Home
Submitted by Cathleen
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and suffering is over
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And he came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread
And with Jesus' arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is still work waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
