August 2006 issue #44 ~ Finding the Tipping Point for Peace & Health

In the book The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy, author Greg Brandon discusses the impact of collective prayer and choice points. One night after reading this book, I had a vivid dream about two events in recent history. One event was the 1962 Cuban Missile crisis. The dream implied this crisis could have resulted in a violent war, had the people of the United States not united in prayers for peace. The other event was the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989. My dream (or "message from my soul") seemed to confirm when we earnestly unite in prayer for peace and unity, it is realized. While it's easy to feel discouraged reading or listening to the news these days, realizing the tipping point for peace begins with people like you and me joining together with a collective vision for a positive outcome - and holding that vision. What positive outcomes would you like to create for your life and the world this month? Breathe deeply as you hold this vision and feel it in your mind, body and spirit.

We hope you enjoy this issue and will consider enrolling in one of our healing courses this month.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti (deep peace),

Understanding Your Personal Dream Symbols By Laura Grace There are certain kinds of symbols that appear in your nightly dreams and some of them are Archetypes or Universal symbols. These symbols are recognized and interpreted by people from different cultures. For example, a cross is associated with Christianity by people around the world, and a dove is usually associated with purity and peace. The meaning of the symbol does not change from place to place… Personal dream symbols differ from dream archetypes because they have significant meaning for you, depending upon your life experiences and perceptions. There is no such thing as an "objective experience" because... [Read on] Laura Grace is the instructor for the course Dreams for Healing: Using Dreams as a Pathway to the Soul.

Dear Marty ~ Traumatic Loss, Delayed Grief Reaction, Complicated Grief, "Grief Overload" Q & A by Bereavement Counselor Marty Tousley Question: Fifteen years ago, my fiancé was brutally murdered.

Coping with a Different Life By Arthur Soissons-Segal, Ph.D. ~ Therapist & brain tumor survivor

I am not perfect, but then, who is? I have asked that question many times since my brain tumor surgery. The answer is always the same, "What's perfect? In my eyes, you are great," claims my wife, my sister and my daughters," and my soul echoes in, "I love you." Living with a physical disability has moments of difficulty, as well as times of happiness. There are moments when I want to...

Here's What You're Saying About Our Courses...

"Shaman Maggie is a great teacher and there when you need advice or support. This is a great class for anyone & everyone! It's so refreshing to have something available online which is truly about joy, sharing & education rather than being solely focused on the money aspect! S-HE is a wonderful site and all of you have done a tremendous job! I look forward to further studies with S-HE." ~ Debra Want, Nebraska (Reiki I course)


"I found the course very rich and dense, ranging from subtle discussion of particular Aramaic words to experiential practices using breath, voice, sound, sensory awareness, imagination. Scholarship and practices are skillfully woven together, giving a strong feeling of the power and life the Aramaic words carry. Working with the Aramaic over time, along with translations and practices like the ones offered here, has completely transformed my experience of Jesus' prayer." ~ Jo Curtz, Minister, Washington (Aramaic Lord's Prayer course)

Exploring the World with Your Senses: Hearing     By Sandra Lee Schubert

Artists use their senses. Everything is a playground for the muse. The way the light hits water can lead us to a great piece of art or an interesting story. Walking down the street with a friend we discussed the insanity of our senses. How we can become over-stimulated, fractured by the sounds, the shapes and the colors that surrounds us. At the same time, we were in a state of wonder about... Read on and hear Sandra's poems. Sandra Schubert is the instructor for the course Writing for Life: Creating a Story of Your Own.

This Month's Holistic Prayer

Can the peace movement talk in loving speech, showing the way for peace? I think that will depend on whether the people in the peace movement can be peace. Because without being peace, we cannot do anything for peace. If we cannot smile, we cannot help other people to smile. Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh

Enjoy this Flash Show by Beliefnet.com, inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh. (((audio)))


   


O God!
Make good that which is between us,
unite our hearts
and guide us to paths of peace.
~ Muslim prayer
