February 2007, Issue 50 ~ Opening Doors to New Perspectives

We have been in our new (old) home for over a year now. One of our recent household projects was to replace the old icky brown plywood doors throughout the house with new doors; painted a neutral color to compliment our feng shui color scheme. We're delighted and amazed how quickly this single change updated the look of our home and lightened up our hallways. Isn't it interesting how small changes can open doors to new perspectives?

See which article or course below calls to you this month and see what new perspectives open up for you. Many blessings on your journey towards health and healing!

Love & Light,



June Cook

Dear Marty ~ Intimacy with my husband following parental loss Q & A by Bereavement Counselor Marty Tousley Question: My mother died recently, and although she was older and it happened rather quickly, still it was the saddest thing I've ever experienced. Now, three months later, I'm finding it very difficult to become intimate again with my husband. Even being in close proximity to him is difficult for me. It almost scares me. Especially because I want so desperately to know that my mom is watching over me, but I don't want her to see me having sex with my husband! Can you give me some direction on this? Read Marty's response.

Spiritual Contact: Gifts of Love through the Veil By Linda Pendleton If I have learned nothing else in my life, I have learned how powerful love is, and that love lives on beyond the shedding of the physical body. And for me, Valentine's Day is always a reminder of that. I want to share with you my story about diamonds and poetry, and how years later the synchronicity of sparkling diamonds and love poems all came together as a beautiful message of love, never-ending...

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

"I'm taking the courses regarding the guardian angels, and I have to tell you how much I am learning and loving every moment of it! Thank you so much! I anxiously await my email [lessons] and am ever so happy. I truly can't wait for the rest of them to come. I may have to find another course to take when this is over. Well, thank you again." ~ Saletta Myers, Ohio (Healing Whispers course)


"This course has been most helpful in my journey through grief. It has taught me to connect with my spirit guide and has given me access to a spiritual domain that I did not know was available. The lessons have required taking action, rather than passive waiting. I now look at my life differently, not as bad or wrong, but in "what's missing". Each lesson builds on the next and gives me a different perspective to access the spirit world. My beliefs will never be the same." ~ Jeanette Anderson, Arizona (Shaman 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)

Sensing Negative Vibes? Shamanic Techniques to Test and Protect By Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls

Sometimes in our dreams we are visited by a stranger, some ominous personality that we do not recognize and we do not know if this is a good stranger or a not so good stranger. Sometimes we feel a negative energy around us and do not like this feeling. Some of us are able to astral travel and may encounter all sorts of beings there both human and non human. Is this really an angel? Is this really a guide? How do we know who to trust? There is a specific technique that a Shaman uses to determine if spirits, guides, entities, beings that visit him or her are beneficial or not. Read on. Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls is the creator and instructor of Discovering the Shaman Healer Within: Apprentice Course, as well as Reiki for Healing: Level I and Reiki for Healing: Level II.

Making Room For Love: Join a 21-day Complaint Fast By Laura V. Hyde Despite the focus on manifesting more "stuff" most of us desire what's real - something that fulfills our heart and soul, and meaningful relationships are right up there, at the top of the list. Yet, many of us have relationships with others - children, siblings, parents, partners, friends - that lack understanding. We tend to focus on what's wrong with the personality or the behavior. We've shut down a part of our hearts so love can't reside. Our challenge, then, is... Read on.

Creative Writing Ideas: Goal-a-torium   By Sandra Lee Schubert

I am calling for a cessation of any goal setting for the next month. That is right. One month and you don't set a goal. Not even a goal to not set a goal for a month. I am not saying goals are bad. They can give us a good roadmap for our creative life. But goals can become the crutch we lean on. Instead of doing our actual craft we create goals around it. You can't create because you have...

Closing Thoughts

This Month's Holistic Prayer

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Moccasins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.

~ Cherokee Prayer Blessing


   


Look to this day
for it is life
the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all
the realities and truths of existence
the joy of growth
the splendor of action
the glory of power.

For yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived
makes every yesterday a memory
of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day....

~ Ancient Sanskrit Poem

Peace, Love and Light,
