August 2007, Issue 56 ~ Moving Through the Labyrinth toward Wholeness
"A labyrinth is a sacred path used for journeying. Originally the labyrinth was a way for those who were unable to physically travel to holy sites to experience a pilgrimage to the holy realm that resided inside themselves. Today, most people walk a sacred labyrinth to seek knowledge and wisdom and to mark a turning point in life."
~ Deborah Redfern,
Feng Shui instructor
Our family relaxed and re-charged over a week's vacation in Virginia Beach this month. One of our day trips was to Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. There we reviewed the life and self-healing messages of Edgar Cayce and we walked the Labyrinth. As many of you know, a labyrinth is an ancient circuitous walk thought to reconnect the right and left brains; a walking meditation for contemplation, reflection, or prayer.
( Find trip photos here).
Deborah Redfern, our feng shui instructor, sheds more light on circles and labyrinths for healing and wholeness in her article below.
What contemplative steps are you taking this month towards healing and wholeness? See if one of the below articles or courses might help you on your journey.

Healing with Feng Shui: Circles and Labyrinths for Wholeness
By Deborah Redfern
As each person arrived in the centre of the labyrinth we held hands and formed another circle, a circle within a circle. It was a moment larger than all of us and seemed to make our training experience complete. As we gazed at the full moon we knew that although we would be many miles apart physically, we could reconnect in spirit each time we looked at the full moon. While walking the labyrinth I prayed for health and wholeness, and...

Things That Make You Go Ommm. . .

The Edgar Cayce database is a wonderful "ENCYCLOPEDIA" of health information. As an indication of Cayce's interest in providing help to persons suffering physical ailments, over 8,000 of Cayce's 14,306 readings were given for individuals suffering from various ailments.
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!

Life as a Waking Dream
Waking Dreams: Are You Paying Attention?
By Laura V. Hyde
The universe is always communicating to us. Coincidence, synchronicity, and waking dreams provide us with meaningful direction on our spiritual paths. Carl Jung, a pioneer in this area once wrote: "Synchronicity is a causal principle of the universe, a law that operates to move human beings toward greater growth in consciousness." Our spiritual awareness expands as we pay attention to everything that happens in our "outer world," or in other words, our daily circumstances. Since we are connected to all things, reality appears to be outside of us, but that's merely an illusion, created by a finite point of view. If you could...

Dog Years
| Book Review by Marty Tousley and audio of Radio Times interview |
 |
As I listened to this re-broadcast of Mark Doty being interviewed by Marty Moss-Coane on her Radio Times program for National Public Radio, I found myself hoping that his book
Dog Years
would be half as wonderful as the person he seemed to be. I went ahead and ordered the book, and I'm happy to report that I was not disappointed. Mark Doty's latest literary offering is as much about relationships, love and loss as it is about why we human beings love our dogs so...

Here's What You're Saying About Our Site and Courses...
"Thank you very much! Your course supported me through the worst time of my life! I really looked forward to my e-mails. I have saved all of them so I can read over all the wonderful advice and loving comfort it gave me. I would definitely take another class with you and probably will in the near future. I will also recommend your course to others!"
~ Jackie Wimberly, Florida
( First Year of Grief course)
---<>----------------------------------------<>---
"This course forced a routine of connecting with spirit and advancing my spiritual growth. One of my lessons lately has been consistency and realizing that healing and growth take time and attention. While this course was initially for interest, I realize now that God was giving me a venue for developing better habits (improved spiritual habits are poring over into the rest of my life) and for providing the growth and energetic preparation that He knows I need. The energies are building quickly. I thank the Universe for persisting in teaching me and I thank Self-Healing Expressions for providing courses that accomplish this teaching."
~ Liz T., Canada
( Holistic Prayers)

"I've appreciated the range of subjects covered within the course, as well as the feeling of respect that comes with how much is left open-ended & for the individual to decide what is best... I definitely enjoyed the [self pace] set-up, as I find I can get much more learning done in my own time & space. I'm currently disabled & would not be able to go to classes like this offline at this time, so I thank you for making these teachings so accessible."

This Month's Holistic Prayer |
Labyrinth Prayer
By Rebecca Caines ©
Lord help me to untangle the threads and make whole paths out of partial ones.
Help me to find and hold your light at my centre.
Help me to walk paths that are wandering and strange whilst clear and strong.
Make a labyrinth of my thoughts and my days.
One path through and one path out but so many threads to make the pattern.
Amen.
Peace, Love and Light,
Your Friends at Self-Healing Expressions
