July 2007, Issue 55 ~ Bridge Between Worlds
"Although you are still there in the physical and I am here in the non-physical, we merge our frequency and come together, minds touching, souls merging, and the communication takes place leaving behind time and space. It is as if you have stepped across with one foot. Think of it as an imaginary line and each of us cross over to stand side by side astraddle the line. That is where we merge our thoughts, feel the presence of the other. I see you radiating energy, I feel your energy, your love and I hope that you feel all that from me as the merger takes place." ~ Don and Linda Pendleton from
A Walk Through Grief, Crossing the Bridge Between Worlds
As our family grieves the death of Ed Simpson (80), a long time family friend and the grave condition of my cousin Lance (48) who suffered a massive stroke in June and remains in a coma, we are reminded just how fragile life is. Naturally I tapped into the messages, exercises, and meditations taught in a number of our courses; taking comfort in the notion that the spirit and the essence of those we love and appreciate goes on — even when the physical body shuts down.
Our hearts and prayers go out to those of you coping with loss this month; may Spirit, your guides and angels provide you with comfort and peace. If you are celebrating a joy this month, may your spirit soar! Either way, we hope this issue provides support and inspiration. And that you will consider enrolling in one of our healing courses this month.
Breathe,

"As you find your way through your grief experience, you will discover that there is no right or wrong way to do the work of mourning. There is only your way, and you must discover it for yourself. There is no magic formula, no short cut, and no easy way out. It is as if you are inside a long, winding tunnel whose entrance is closed behind you, and the only way out is through." ~ Marty Tousley,

Dear Marty ~ How to Write a Condolence Letter
Q & A by Bereavement Counselor Marty Tousley
Question: Hello, I would like to know if you could assist me in writing a letter of condolence.
Marty's Response: I think this is a very important question, and I commend you for asking it. With our busy lifestyles nowadays, electronic communication alternatives such as cell-phones, instant messaging and e-mail have made letter-writing seem like such a daunting task for so many of us, if not a forgotten art altogether. Yet in times of sorrow, few things are more appreciated than a handwritten note, which can be held and saved by the recipient, and read over and over again. I know that many years ago, when my own infant son died shortly after he was born, along with his birth and death certificates, the note cards and letters I received from family and friends were the only evidence I had that my baby had lived at all...

Animal Smarts or the Gift of Intuition?
By Linda Pendleton
* Have you known and given a warning when someone close to you is about to have an epileptic seizure?
* Have you recognized by scent a cancerous tumor on someone?
* Have you ever protected and saved someone in the ocean from a shark attack?
* Have you ever found yourself in unknown territory a thousand miles from your home and set out to walk your way home, and succeeded?
* Have you sat at your front door in anticipation of the arrival in 10 to 30 minutes of a family member, although there was no reason to expect the arrival?
You may not have had these experiences but many animals have...

Things That Make You Go Ommm. . .

I think a bunch of you are going to love this one! It's easy, affordable, and AMAZING. It's called the Dream Wizard. In about 3 minutes, I purchased, downloaded and typed in a goal, added a photo to represent that goal and recorded my OWN voice claiming my dream. Now it pops up on my computer screen every 2 hours to remind me of what I am manifesting. No kidding! It makes me so happy every time it pops up! Check it out

Here's What You're Saying About Our Site and Courses...
"I found this course fascinating and fun. It was interesting to revisit the color choices in my own home and wardrobe and to examine them as they connect to the feng shui theories of energy and nature. I am certain to make my choices carefully when considering the use of color in other people's lives in the future. The feng shui personality test and the descriptions of different energies in our individual element types were extraordinary and directly useful for me in my relationship with one of my daughters."
~ Alicia Wiltshire, Design Consultant, NY (
Healing with Feng Shui and Color couse)
"This is an amazing class that is helping me connect to myself through dreams. Dreams hold so much helpful information. Little by little Laura is helping me understand how to tap this far-reaching resource. It is an incredibly enriching course!"

Living with Purpose: The Game of Hide and Seek
By Melanie Votaw
We all spend a great deal of time hiding our true selves from others. Why do we do this? Well, we believe we must in order to protect ourselves from harm — sometimes physical harm, but usually emotional harm. In fact, we become so good at hiding that we lose our grip on our true selves. We pretend to ourselves as much as we pretend to others. But in order to be genuinely happy, we each have to relocate that unique real self that came into this world. Only then can anyone...

Fire The Grid
Collective Meditation 7/17/07 ~ Help create a tipping point towards global peace and healing!
Several of you have written in about the "Fire the Grid" meditation which is on July 17, 2007. It is a light meditation to be done by collectively at exactly the same hour around the world (i.e., 11:11am GMT; 6:11am CST; 7:11am EST and so forth). The purpose is to reactivate the planet's grid.

Closing Thoughts
The purpose of prayer and meditation is to quiet your busy mind so you may hear from the universe clearly. Ancient scholars have written about the power of prayer since Jesus' time. Meditation is used by millions of people throughout the world to find the connection to Source. I was told that when we fire the grid we will elevate our truth and connection as if we had been meditating for ten years. It will lift our fields and maintain a high frequency permanently as we move forward toward the changes that are coming. I suggest you use the method that best brings you peace and joy. I also suggest that you incorporate music, as listening to music which holds the tones of love will immediately facilitate lifting your field.

A rainbow of your glory.
