Issue: 46 - October 2006 ~ Coping with Help from the Angels and Spirit Guides

This month while developing author and medium Linda Pendleton's new course entitled "Healing Whispers: Communication with Your Spirit Guides and Angels", shocking reports of the Amish Schoolhouse shootings hit the news in a big way. We live in Pennsylvania so this sad story was covered in great depth in our region. It depressed me and I awoke in the middle of the night -- two nights in a row -- thinking about the girls' last moments in the classroom, their parents, siblings, and community, as well as the family of the man who committed this horrid act. Since Linda's "Angel course" was very much on my mind, I began to tap into the messages of her lessons. I called on Spirit, my angels and guides for comfort the second night I awoke. I asked that they comfort this grieving community and help the confused souls of the girls who had suddenly and violently perished cross over into the light. In a matter of minutes, I felt a calming presence nearby as I edged back into sleep - this was followed by a soft swishing sound; it was almost as if someone had rushed out of the room. I fell into a deep sleep thinking/hoping that perhaps this request was being addressed on some level. Our hearts and prayers go out to those of you coping with loss and grief this month; may Spirit, your guides and angels provide you with comfort and peace.

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

Blessings for Peace,



June Cook

Feng Shui Bagua: Activating Your 'Angel Corner' By Deborah Redfern Heavenly help is just around the corner. But not just any corner. According to the Interior Alignment school of feng shui, the bagua corner that activates heavenly help is called Helpful People and Travel. It is located in the right hand corner at the front of your house. In other words if you stand at your front door (facing inside - as you enter) and point to the right, imagining you can see straight through any walls that might be there, that is the... Read on.

Dear Marty ~ Coping with a Daughter's Miscarriage Q & A by Bereavement Counselor Marty Tousley My daughter suffered a miscarriage earlier this month and then her beloved 11 year old dog died unexpectedly a few days later. This has been too much for her to bear. She can't face collecting the body from the vet's, but feels she owes it to her dog as her last act of love for him. He was her constant rock through many dark days and no words of comfort are helping. Our family is concerned for her well being, as she has a two-year old son to care for at home. Her husband and I have had to return to work. Is there anything we can do, or anyone who can help? Read Marty's response here.

Healing a Broken Heart: Letting Go of the Ones Who Got Away by Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway Being brutally honest about the good, bad and ugly aspects of past relationships is important because you do not want to recreate in your future relationship the things that previously caused you pain or drove you crazy. The first step in redesigning your romantic destiny is liberating yourself from the unromantic aspect of relationships past. Today you have a chance to dump the ex's who dumped you, complain about their less than lovely sides, ditch your regrets and in general create a fresher slate for the creation of your Romantic Résumé...

Exploring the World with Your Senses: Food as Muse   By Sandra Lee Schubert

Food, glorious food. We can't escape it. The taste, the texture the way sugar dissolves on the tongue. How salt brings out flavor in our meals. Food thrills us. It can torment us with desire. I don't know many of us who successfully live with out food. Without it we die. Some much of who we are is tied to food... [Article includes culinary exploration writing prompts]. Read on.

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

"This course was helpful to me. I learned that grieving the loss of my little dog is a normal response because I love her so much. I wish I could say I was finished grieving but I think it will take me a very long time because I have no children and she was like a baby to me. But the course reinforced that this too is a perfectly normal emotion. It gave me plenty to think about and ways to memorialize her. Thank you very much." ~ Carla R., Oklahoma (Pet Loss course)


"I find the material to be well presented in a way that is easy to read, use and refer to on a day to day basis. The link to the source of information allows, encourages and inspires the reader/student to discover the true meaning of power tools....Prayer." ~ Deborah Harrigan, Intuitive Consultant, Medium (Holistic Prayer course)


"The course has helped my awareness open up, by reviewing the "old" Lord's Prayer of my youth in a "new" light and with a "new" life. It is a fresh breath of air for me." ~ Gilbert B. Smith, Louisiana (Aramaic Lord's Prayer course)

The Shaman Way: Are Spirit Guides The Same as Totems? By Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls

Spirit guides may or may not also be totem animals. I have a spirit guide who comes to me as a white pelican. I have an elephant who is strictly a totem and not a spirit guide. A spirit guide is a teacher with something to teach you. A totem animal is often a protector, a mate to travel the Inner Worlds with who knows its way around and can get you in, to your destination, and out again safely. I can ride my elephant right into the Under World and he will stop at exactly the place I need to be to affect someone's healing. When I have the healing... Read on.

Disability and Depression: Grieving the Loss of Self By Arthur Soissons-Segal, Ph.D. ~ Therapist & brain tumor survivor

Grief is a natural response to the loss of a significant other - be that a parent, a child or a pet. But with the occurrence of a serious disability or disease, the loss is of YOU. Perhaps you have lost your "old" identity as a parent, as a worker, as a man or a woman, as an independent person. You do not know who you are, you do not recognize yourself. In the case of multiple sclerosis, one is compelled to... [Read on] Arthur Soissons-Segal is the instructor of the course The Joy Of Coping: Overcoming The Stress of Dis-ease.

This Month's Holistic Prayer

A Soldier's Prayer
(A prayer by an American Confederate soldier seriously disabled in the Civil War)

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve, I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do great things, I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy, I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men, I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life, I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for -- but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed.



   


Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day,
be at my side
to light and guard,
to rule and guide.
~ Catholic Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Peace, Love and Light,
