			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p><em>&#8220;Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.&#8221; &#8212; Helen Keller</em></p>
<p>Sacred Travel is becoming a new way to travel, one that is beyond the ordinary.  It gives us the opportunity to discover not only ancient lands, but also to discover more of ourselves.</p>
<p>We find ourselves pulled to visit ancient temples of the gods and goddesses, shrines and places of worship, mysterious mountains known for their power, wells, fountains and waterfalls with healing properties in their waters.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="margin-center:30px;" src="http://www.evolutionezine.com/praying_hands_of_mary.jpg" alt="Praying Hands" align="center" /></p>
<p>We discover new ways of seeing the world as we connect with other cultures and begin to see through their eyes.</p>
<p>We learn ancient, lost and buried stories and legends.  We reawaken the old practices of honoring the goddess, the elements and nature.</p>
<p>As we travel we discover that we begin to lessen our hold on our outward reality and journey inside.  We are out of the comforts and security of our daily lives.  Our patterns and habits are interrupted and it becomes an excellent opportunity to open to the New. It gives us a chance to look at what we do and why.  We can more easily see through our illusions and the masks and roles we play and find what is behind them.</p>
<p>Sacred and spiritual travel become an opportunity for transformation on all levels.  As Henry Miller put it, &#8220;One&#8217;s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="margin-center:30px;" src="http://www.evolutionezine.com/france-poster.jpg " alt="france" align="center" /></p>
<p><strong>How do we bring the Sacred into our Travels?</strong></p>
<p>Whether planning your trip, or while you are on it, there are simple things you can do to bring in more connection with the Sacred.</p>
<p>•	Follow your Spirit.  Let your Spirit and intuition guide you.<br />
•	Pay attention to synchronicities.  You may feel called to read a book, or hear something repeated in various ways, or meet someone new that may open a new path or direction for you.<br />
•	Listen to your heart.  What would you love to do?  What brings you joy?  Have you always wanted to visit Egypt, or Peru, or Stonehenge?  Do it!<br />
•	Open to your other senses.  Feel, sense, imagine – listen to the trees, the birds, the winds, the streams.  Touch the ancient stones of monuments and temples, close your eyes and see where they take you.<br />
•	You can bring the Sacred into your day, or into places you visit with a simple ritual or ceremony.<br />
•	Take time to get still and quiet.  Meditate on a rock, or while sitting in a temple.<br />
•	Sacred Travel isn’t about just running from place to place … it’s the time between the action … you may get more from the experience if you take it easy, slow down a bit, take more time for rest and reflection.  Take a quiet day in the midst of all the places you visit.<br />
•	Journal and reflect on what insights come to you.  Think about how you can bring these discoveries back into your daily life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="margin-center:30px;" src="http://www.evolutionezine.com/Tara_stone.jpg " alt="tara stone" align="center" /></p>
<p>As you travel, consider new ways of looking at the world.  Expand your thoughts, your ideas, your awareness.  Travel with an open heart and with consciousness, for a world that is beyond what you’ve seen and become accustomed to.  Travel as a Pilgrim, as Isabelle Kingston so eloquently expresses:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>PILGRIMS or TOURISTS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>We are told we should be pilgrims in life,<br />
but instead we have become tourists.<br />
Pilgrims are on a special journey. Every part of it has meaning -<br />
the setbacks the frustrations, as well as the joys.<br />
Tourists are out to enjoy life, to seek pleasure, fun or just rest.<br />
Pilgrims carry little with them, just enough for their needs.<br />
Tourists are burdened with possessions and are always anxious about losing them.<br />
Pilgrims stay as long as they need to be in a place.<br />
Tourists have schedules to keep and are always rushing on.<br />
Pilgrims are humble, open to people and experiences.<br />
Tourists are arrogant, they know what they want, and they&#8217;ll see it, do it, find it.<br />
Pilgrims share what they have.<br />
Tourists never have quite enough.<br />
Pilgrims are changed by their journey.<br />
Tourists are always a little bit disappointed -<br />
it is never quite as good as they had hoped.<br />
Lord, help us to be pilgrims in life &#8211; not just tourists.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>-	Isabelle Kingston –</em></p>
<p>If you’re feeling called to journey to a new land, to discover something new, go for it!  Let yourself be inconvenienced by a train or bus not being on schedule.  It may be hot, buses may be crowded, people may not act as you expect them to act … it most certainly will be different!  You may also discover beauty, joy, sweet energies, open hearts, and a way of belonging to the world that you hadn’t known.<br />
<strong>Let yourself go, let yourself be changed!</strong></p>
<p><strong>More about Sacred Travel:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>What is the difference between a normal tour and a spiritual tour?</strong></em></p>
<p>The normal tour may take in many of the same places as a spiritual tour. The difference is the depth of experience that a spiritual tour gives. A spiritual tour involves visiting sacred places and taking time to link with the land, the energy field, the consciousness and magic of times past. The sacred sites are utilized to give clarity and understanding to our own lives, as we build an awareness and understanding that is a creative force for our future.</p>
<p><em><strong>Do all sacred sites hold the same energy?</strong></em></p>
<p>Each site visited holds a different matrix of information. Each individual will have a different experience, some stronger than others.</p>
<p><em><strong>What makes a site sacred?</strong></em></p>
<p>These are places that hold unseen vibrations, and often are used with religious ceremonies. Over the years, these places became empowered and were of great assistance to the community. Holy places have been visited and used for many thousands of years, because they hold natural energy. They are Earth’s hot spots. Stones were placed in many of these and pyramids, churches, temples, altars and monasteries were built to amplify the energy.</p>
<p><em><strong>What is a Pilgrimage?</strong></em></p>
<p>Pilgrimage has always been an important expression of the spiritual journey. Holy places are visited, where people feel drawn in order to find a sense of the sacred in their lives. In a pilgrimage, the journey is as important as the destination. In traveling to the sacred place, one is transformed and renewed.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p><em><a title="Celtic Mystical Journeys" href="http://www.celticmysticaljourneys.com/blog" target="_blank">Celtic Mystical Journeys</a> was created by Finbarr Ross as a vehicle to facilitate personal and group travel to the sacred power sites of Ireland, England, Scotland and France. He describes these journeys as pathways of self-discovery, conscious awareness, and spiritual wisdom.</em></p>

Where do I go, what will inspire<br />
Investigating<br />
Nature&#8217;s beauty, oh how I admire<br />
Seeing<br />
Light bugs flash a pleasant show<br />
Dancing<br />
Wind at my body blows<br />
Caressing<br />
Earth is the giver to all<br />
Loving<br />
The biggest and even the small<br />
Learning<br />
Trees give us more than shade<br />
Remembering<br />
Fruit, nuts, and berries from the glade<br />
Savoring<br />
Sweet tastes and loving comfort from Her<br />
Whistling<br />
Harmonious songs, I finally concur<br />
Realizing<br />
Heaven is here behind the veil<br />
Releasing<br />
Old rhythms and ways of no avail<br />
Beginning<br />
My journey back to the oneness of it all<br />
Sharing<br />
This epiphany with you, it is my call.</p>
<p>©Candice Tomlin July 10th, 2009</p>
<p>Candice Tomlin started writing poetry in high school and instantly loved it!  She  even won a 2nd place award for one of her very first poems.  Poetry got her through some rough years; initially it was a way of coping, later becoming a great passion, but always a natural ability. Recently, she has had poems flying out of the ink like you wouldn&#8217;t believe and she now knows deep down that this is her calling.</p>
<p>You can leave a comment here to let Candice know how her work has affected you &#8211; or you can email her at can&#100;&#105;&#99;e&#116;&#111;mli&#110;&#64;hot&#109;ai&#108;.&#99;om</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>When I was very ill, years ago, I called my elder and teacher. What she told me surprised me. I thought she would tell me to come over to her house for healing. Instead, she told me to get out my crystals, sit down and heal myself.</p>
<p>What I wanted is what most of us want when we are really feeling bad. I wanted someone to fix me. I was sick and I wanted to be pampered and attended to by someone else. It didn’t occur to me that for anyone to be able to help, the true healing needed to begin with me.</p>
<p>Even though I didn’t particularly “want” to do healing work on myself, I followed her instructions and in the process discovered a power within myself I had not yet tapped into.</p>
<p>Because of my teacher’s wise instruction I have since learned that when I need to heal, I begin doing the work first and if I still need support, I open to Divine guidance in locating the right and best healer to help me. Doing my work first has given me some significant results:</p>
<p>1)	I often discover I can heal entirely with my own energetic healing gifts and/or healing knowledge I have already acquired.</p>
<p>2)	I access new levels of spiritual awareness and healing ability I might not have otherwise reached</p>
<p>3)	If I do need assistance, I have already established an inner field of  commitment and dedication to my healing that attracts the right healer or doctor to assist me</p>
<p>4)	If needed, the right person to provide me with help frequently enters my physical space before I ever even need to ask for help</p>
<p>5)	Or, within one or two phone calls, I am with the perfect person to assist me.</p>
<p>I don’t shop around any more for the right diagnosis, doctor, healer, technique or treatment. Why not? Because my own energetic field is charged and committed enough to easily draw in the right insight, person, or treatment.</p>
<p>I have gotten quite used to this way of approaching healing—that’s the way my colleagues and students approach healing too, but a few weeks ago I was reminded that some of us don’t know there is a more effective way, and we are still shopping.</p>
<p>I was at a party recently where I was talking to a woman about the people I have met who have dramatic stories of self-healing that occurred when they applied themselves fully in understanding their conditions and responding to their intuitive guidance. Her response reminded me that not everyone is enamored with taking full responsibility for their healing journey.</p>
<p>In this case, the woman I was speaking with said out loud what I believe a lot of us really want but don’t admit. She candidly said, “I don’t really want to figure it for myself. I want someone to tell me what is wrong and how to fix it.” She is still looking for someone to make the diagnosis and prescription without her active involvement.</p>
<p>Now, sometimes you are fortunate enough to find a doctor or healer that really is able to nail it the first time. They know exactly what is wrong and exactly what treatment solves the problem. You do what they say and you heal. This can happen often enough, that you could easily believe this is the best way to approach healing all of the time.</p>
<p>However sometimes, as many of us know who have experienced chronic illnesses, diagnosis is more challenging than it might appear, and you end up going to one doctor after another and one healer after another, perhaps getting some relief, but never quite getting complete healing.</p>
<p>Finally, when we are about to give up, in a moment of awakening we realize we had better get a little more personally involved. And just maybe we need to get some insights from a higher dimension. That’s when we finally surrender the search for someone to diagnose and fix us. When we stop shopping and get involved, the healing journey actually begins.</p>
<p>Who wants to heal themselves, especially when you are feeling really bad? Quite possibly, no one.  Who wants to get still and listen for intuitive guidance about what is happening and what you need to do? Possibly, not many of us. But I suspect my teacher’s wisdom applies for many of us.</p>
<p>If we truly want to heal, we are the first ones that need to be committed, open to our guidance and become actively involved. Then, if we still need help, we have primed the pump for the right help to be drawn to us.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>*Free Webinar Announcement*</em></strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Many of us are getting weary of shopping for the right doctor, healer, treatment or cure. We have been taught that to become well: 1) you get qualified help 2) they tell you what to do 3) you do it and 4) you feel better. But, what happens when your symptoms are difficult to diagnose or treatments don&#8217;t work?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>My particular choice niche of service is sharing <a title="Chris Cade" href="http://www.spiritual-short-stories.com/?10219" target="_blank">Short Spiritual Stories and Parables</a>, so today I&#8217;m going to share with you a story about healing. Since this particular story is centuries old, I rewrote it in modern English to make it easier to understand. Also, though it&#8217;s drawn from the most popular religious text of all time, the story and its wisdom can be helpful to anybody, no matter what their religious affiliation (if any).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also going to share with you a unique healing technique that you can use anytime, anyplace, to call upon the power of the greatest healers of all time.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Healing at the Pool From The Holy Bible — John 5:1-9 — Adapted by Chris Cade</span></p>
<p>In Jerusalem there is a pool near the sheep market which is known for its great<br />
healing properties. Sick people would gather there; the blind, lame, and<br />
paralyzed. It was known that when the water became stirred up, whoever stepped<br />
in first would be healed of their ailment.</p>
<p>On one particular Sabbath, Jesus came across a man who had been trying,<br />
unsuccessfully, for thirty-eight years to enter the water first and be healed.<br />
Jesus knew this and so he asked, &#8220;Do you want to be healed?&#8221;</p>
<p>The sick man answered, &#8220;Sir, it is very difficult for me to move. I don&#8217;t have<br />
anyone here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred; while I am trying<br />
to get in, somebody else always gets there first.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jesus said to the man, &#8220;Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.&#8221;</p>
<p>Immediately the man picked up his mat and walked. He was healed.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Copyright 2009, Chris Cade</p></blockquote>
<p>In the above story, it&#8217;s very easy to attribute the healing to Jesus. He&#8217;s known for having miraculous healing capabilities, so something of this nature would have been trivial for him. However, to place so much emphasis on Jesus himself is to lose sight of the very messages he brought forth to the world. Instead, let&#8217;s take a look at a quote (paraphrased) that is attributed to him:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;Unless you become like little children, you shall not enter into<br />
the kingdom of heaven.&#8221;</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>If heaven is a metaphor for being present and connected to the divine while we&#8217;re here on Earth, we are challenged to ask ourselves: What qualities of children are so important that they, alone, enable us to enter this kingdom of heaven?</p>
<p>Although I believe that Jesus was referring to the childlike qualities of presence and curiosity, there&#8217;s another one I feel relates to this story. Children come into the world naive. They&#8217;re innocent to the ways of the world, both good and bad, pleasant and harsh. They look to adults as the authorities in their lives, and as a result, this means that whatever parents say is what children believe to be true (unless / until their experience later tells them otherwise). Children have done some amazing things, and perhaps it&#8217;s simply because somebody else thought they could&#8230; or that nobody else said they couldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>In the context of this story, the man also saw Jesus through a similar lens of authority. The man assumed that if Jesus said he could be healed, or was healed, then it was true. Notice the man didn&#8217;t even get to the pool to be healed like the others; he was simply healed. Jesus didn&#8217;t even say that he healed the man, either.  He only told the man that he was healed.</p>
<p>Modern science attributes 30% of all medical results to the placebo effect, so it&#8217;s reasonable to consider that perhaps Jesus merely inspired the placebo effect in this man. It becomes irrelevant whether or not Jesus healed the man, and all that matters is that Jesus said it was true. Jenny Mannion said it perfectly in one of her recent blog posts:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Just as your cuts and scrapes heal because you know nothing different and EXPECT them to – your whole body has the same capabilities.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This story challenges us to consider this new healing paradigm. What if we could invoke the placebo effect any time we wanted to? If that were possible, how might we go about doing just that? To explore that possibility, let&#8217;s combine the wisdom of the story with the knowledge of modern science, and guided imagery.</p>
<p>In the realm of healing, there&#8217;s often people we consider to be authorities. Maybe it&#8217;s Deepak Chopra, or Jesus, maybe it&#8217;s Adam Dreamhealer or your favorite local Reiki practitioner. Whoever it is, there&#8217;s probably somebody, somewhere, from some point in time (past, present, or future), who you truly believe could heal you of any ailments. Whoever you consider to be your most absolute authority on healing, bring that person into your awareness.</p>
<p>Then walk yourself through a guided visualization in which that person heals you completely of an ailment (if any) that you are currently healing. Take your visualization deep, to the point where you feel that person actively healing you. Is it warm or tingling? Do you notice a bright light or a halo around the area being healed? What kind of smells or sounds do you notice? Get as specific as possible, since the more specific you can become, the more powerful this technique also becomes.</p>
<p>On the surface, this visualization looks like we&#8217;re just deferring our healing powers to another person the way the man in the story does. However, at a deeper level we understand that we&#8217;re blending the best wisdom from modern science, ancient healing, and childlike innocence. What we&#8217;re really doing is facilitating self healing by projecting our inner healing power onto an image of authority that resonates more deeply with us.</p>
<p>If we cannot separate inner from outer, and our mind cannot separate physical reality from visualization, perhaps this unique approach may enable us to move into an experience where healing becomes inevitable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Last month, a Canadian reader emailed me about an experience that beautifully illustrates the benefits of cultivating an appreciation for living in the moment, or what I like to call, the &#8220;Power of Presence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hi Ed,</p>
<p>It has been just over a week since the energy clearing session with you. As the day went on, I noticed my lower back wasn&#8217;t aching. My lower back had been causing me a lot of pain in the previous weeks. And it still feels good, which is wonderful. I do feel I should tell you about what happened later that morning.</p>
<p>I drove to work just after the session; I care for a wonderful 90-year old man with a mind as sharp as a tack. It turned out to be a beautiful morning and I suggested to Roy that we sit out on his sundeck in the sunshine.</p>
<p>His deck is high up on the main floor of his two-story house which is on a hill, the view is spectacular. From the deck we could look down at the lake with the mountains behind that. Everything looked so sharp that morning, the sky was so blue and the clouds were so white, the lake was a darker green than the mountains behind it. It was a gorgeous morning and incredibly quiet.</p>
<p>I commented to Roy I felt like I was waiting for the show to start, it was so still and very quiet &#8211; like the hush that happens just before the curtain opens at a play.</p>
<p>The words barely came out of my mouth when two massive bald eagles swooped into the sky directly up in front of us. They were facing one another, colliding together for a moment; they were screeching at each other, they were absolutely magnificent and their wing span was just massive. I could see every feather and detail; one eagle had a white head and tail feathers and the other one was more mottled. They were breathtaking, huge, majestic and so strong.</p>
<p>They parted, flew into the nearby trees. Each eagle sat on a separate tree for about 10 minutes and as if by some unheard signal they flew up in unison, wing to wing and soared past the trees down to the lake.</p>
<p>Now it is true eagles live here and they are my all time favorite bird, but I have never witnessed this before! Maybe it was a coincidence and I would have seen it anyway but I am not so sure.</p>
<p>I have appreciated that view for a long time but the difference was probably the unusual feeling of calm, quiet and tranquility inside of me at that moment. I was really in that moment, with no other mind chatter going on. The thought that came to me while I was feeling like that this must be the peace that the creative force, or Source or God operates from. To me it was amazing.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot,</p>
<p>Cindy</p>
<p>Presence is a state of being in which you&#8217;re naturally placing your full awareness on what you are experiencing in the &#8220;now&#8221;; you are in sync with your higher self; and your thoughts of past or future events have disappeared, leaving you to just &#8220;be&#8221; with what or who is before you.</p>
<p>When you are Present, synchronicities are commonplace, as you are tapping into the Oneness, where everything is connected. You are in a state of being where you recognize that<em><strong> everything is a synchronicity</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Presence amplifies your thoughts and feelings, because you have incorporated more of your entire being into your experience. You are no longer limited to the power of your intellect. Presence leads to joy and fun. Conversely, the inability to have fun is almost always tied to a lack of Presence. Witness the boorish behavior often seen in public, where people are talking or texting on their cell phones, or worrying about some past or future event, versus focusing their attention on their present companion. How often do these people look joyful?</p>
<p>Presence enhances Intimacy. If you want to be intimate with another person, you, obviously, need to spend time with them. But &#8220;spending time with them&#8221; is not enough. For true intimacy, you need to be Present during that time you spend together, i.e., what is popularly called &#8220;quality time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Conversely, if you preface your visit with &#8220;warnings&#8221; that you may have to take a phone call or leave to attend a &#8220;more important&#8221; meeting, you already have one foot out the door. You are denying yourself and your companion the joy that comes with sharing Presence.</p>
<p>So, the next time you are &#8220;bored,&#8221; rather than look outside of yourself for something to stimulate your mind, embrace your experience by placing your full awareness on what&#8217;s happening. Focus your attention on an aspect of the situation that you appreciate.</p>
<p>By embracing your experience, you will become more Present. You will naturally radiate gratitude. The universe will respond by giving you more of what you appreciate, for you are &#8220;shouting&#8221; to the universe, &#8220;Give me more of this!&#8221; with a megaphone that is sure to produce inner and outer results.</p>
<p>Practicing Presence is powerful. It transcends time, with the potential to change your life. Try it out and let me know what happens &#8211; especially if any eagles show up.</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Ed</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p><strong>Introduction&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This is a nondenominational book about the archangel named Raphael, a powerful celestial being who heals people and animals. Raphael (pronounced Raf-ee-el) is the supreme healer in the angelic realm. In fact, his name means “God heals” or “He who heals” in Hebrew. Many believe that it is derived from the Hebrew word Rophe, which means “medicine doctor.”</p>
<p>Although Raphael isn’t named specifically in the traditional Bible, theologians identify him as the archangel who healed the feeble at the Bethesda pond described in the Gospels. He is also reputed to be one of the three angels who visited the patriarch Abraham and his wife Sarah to announce and help with their children’s conception, who healed Abraham’s grandson Jacob’s wrestling injuries, and who gave King Solomon his magical ring.</p>
<p>In Catholicism, he is Saint Raphael, the patron of healing, physicians, travelers, and matchmakers. Raphael appears by name in the canonical (that is, considered part of the Bible by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches since A.D. 397) Book of Tobit. This book, sometimes called the Book of Tobias, was lost and later rediscovered as a Dead Sea Scroll in Qumran, the temple of the ancient Essenes, in the 20th century.</p>
<p>The book describes the story of Tobit, a devoted and helpful Jewish man who became so despairing when he went blind that he asked God to let him die. The same evening of Tobit’s prayer, a woman named Sarah also begged God for death, out of grief for seven husbands who had each died on her wedding night.</p>
<p>So God answered both Tobit’s and Sarah’s prayers by sending the archangel Raphael in human form. Raphael didn’t identify himself as an angel, but instead offered to protect and guide Tobit’s son Tobias as he journeyed to retrieve money that was owed to him.</p>
<p>Raphael led Tobias to Sarah, and the two fell in love and married. The archangel then helped Tobias successfully cast off the demons that had killed Sarah’s previous husbands, using fish as part of his healing work. Raphael also used an ointment made from fish to help Tobias heal his father’s blindness. As Tobit, Tobias, and Sarah enjoyed their new life, Raphael recovered Tobit’s money for him. Once his work was done, Archangel Raphael revealed his true identity and returned to the angelic realm.</p>
<p>The story inspired Raphael to be named a patron saint of physicians, travelers, the blind, and matchmakers. In this book, we’ll explore these roles, which he continues to fill.</p>
<p>Raphael’s name also appears in another Dead Sea Scroll writing, the Book of Enoch, in which his role upon Earth is described as being “one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men.” In this text, the Lord charges Raphael with the task of healing the earth of the mess made by some fallen angels and giants—by binding and casting out a demon, helping all of the children, and saving the world from corruption. Archangel Raphael is still focused on this mission today.</p>
<p><strong>Archangel Raphael and You</strong></p>
<p>I frequently get letters from people who are surprised that angels help humanity. They seem astonished or doubtful that famous angels such as Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel would help the average person, especially in modern times. “Aren’t these angels from the Bible?” they write to me. Well, yes, and they continue to help us thousands of years later.</p>
<p>Angels are God’s messengers, sent to Earth to enact the Creator’s plan of peace for everyone. To create this experience upon Earth, we need a planet full of peaceful people . . . including you and me. So the angels’ mission is to do whatever is necessary to help everyone be at peace. Since health issues can interfere with this feeling, it’s natural that God would enlist Archangel Raphael to bring about wellness to people everywhere.</p>
<p>You needn’t be special, “chosen,” religious, or even a good person in order to receive the angels’ healing help. The angels assist everyone, because they love everyone . . . and because it’s God’s will for everyone to be at peace.</p>
<p>Every person has guardian angels with them at all times. These celestial beings are egoless helpers, guides, and protectors. You also have at least one departed loved one watching over you. While your friends and relatives in Heaven aren’t technically angels (since they have human egos), they can still perform angel-like feats. They also work in conjunction with your angels when you’re in need.</p>
<p>The term archangel (pronounced ark-an-gel) is derived from the Greek phrase “the greatest messenger of God.” Arch means “the first” or “the greatest,” and angel means “messenger of God.”</p>
<p>Archangels are larger, more powerful, and more specialized than guardian angels. Spiritual texts have described dozens of archangels, although most major religions narrow this list to four or seven. Raphael always makes the list of top archangels, along with Michael, the protector angel; and Gabriel, the messenger angel.</p>
<p>Since archangels have no egos or physical bodies, they’re completely unlimited beings. This means that they can be with countless people simultaneously, having personalized interactions with everyone who calls for help. For this reason, please don’t worry that you’re bothering the angels by calling upon them.</p>
<p>I must emphasize that we’re not worshipping, or praying to, angels. We give all glory to God, Who is the Creator of the angels—and of you and me. However, the angels and archangels are palpable conduits of connecting with the Creator. God created angels as intercessors so that we’d work with them to create peace on Earth.</p>
<p>Sometimes people ask me, “Why should I talk to angels when I can just as easily talk with God?” This is an excellent question, so I prayed about it a long time until I received an answer that brought me peace:</p>
<p>If you can clearly hear the voice of God and feel an unfettered connection to God, then that is Who you should talk to. However, many people become so upset during health crises that they can no longer hear the very high vibration of God’s guidance. They must at that point talk with the angels, who are able to match our vibrations no matter how stressed we become.</p>
<p>The angels are God’s gifts to us all. And just like any gift, they are meant to be appreciated. God’s intention is for the angels to help us.</p>
<p><strong>Seeing Raphael</strong></p>
<p>I’ve seen angels since I was a very young girl (a spiritual gift that’s quite normal among highly sensitive children). So my interactions with Raphael are quite visual and emotional. I see him as a close and trustworthy friend to all. He has a great sense of humor; and like the most brilliant of comedians, his humor is always kind, gentle, and loving. In this way, Raphael reminds us of laughter’s powerful curative effects.</p>
<p>Since angels don’t have bodies, when a person does see them (during crises, dreams, psychic readings, visitations, and so forth), they appear in a form that best helps him or her. I’ve noticed that the archangels’ physical appearance is symbolic of their specialties. For example, Archangel Michael is the epitome of rippling muscles and a toned physique because he’s the protector angel. Archangel Raphael, on the other hand, has a more relaxed appearance than Michael, probably because it’s healthy to be relaxed!</p>
<p>Additionally, the specialty of each archangel creates a surrounding energy field, which visually sensitive people see as colored sparkling light. Archangel Michael’s energy looks royal blue and purple, and Archangel Raphael’s color is emerald green. Many times when people have asked God to send Archangel Raphael to heal them, they’ll begin to see bright green lights with their physical eyes. Noticing green sparkles or flashes of light is one sign that Raphael is with you.</p>
<p>You can also visualize emerald green light around the person or bodily area in need of healing as a way of invoking Archangel Raphael’s presence and healing energy.</p>
<p>Raphael is depicted in paintings as the angel guiding Tobias, and he’s frequently represented with the caduceus healing symbol (the winged-staff insignia on the cover of this book). And as you’ll read in the pages that follow, his healing miracles are vast and varied.</p>
<p>Many people report seeing the name Raphael on license plates, clerks’ name tags, and so forth as a way of validating the healing angel’s presence. One thing’s for sure: Archangel Raphael isn’t bashful about letting you know that he’s with you, because relaxing into the knowledge of his presence has curative effects.</p>
<p><strong>Feeling Raphael</strong></p>
<p>In addition to seeing signs from Archangel Raphael, many people feel his presence. As you’ll read in the stories within this book, the archangel creates palpable physical feelings when he conducts healings. Most people remark on his profoundly gentle energy, which brings great comfort, faith, and trust. Those who have been healed by Raphael also report warm, tingling sensations as they receive his healing energies.</p>
<p>While I was writing this book, I experienced Archangel Raphael’s healing power firsthand when I started to develop a bad cold. I asked the archangel to heal me, and within moments, all traces of illness had vanished! In the pages to come, you’ll read how Raphael can heal anything from the common cold to serious diseases . . . all you have to do is ask.</p>

<p><em>Instead of attempting my own description of this work I am including the bulk of  one of Renata&#8217;s first email&#8217;s to me &#8211; </em></p>
<p><em>Please join us beginning June 7 &#8211; though we will each be participating from our own homes this is very much a group activity and each added participant adds to the experience of the whole.</em></p>
<p><em>To Register visit: <a title="Golden Light Project" href="http://www.rainbowmedicinecircle.com/" target="_blank">Golden Light Project<br />
</a></em></p>
<p><em>From Renata&#8230;</em></p>
<p>The GOLDEN LIGHT PROJECT is in a sense the culmination of 20 years of intensive research, study and work with the human energy system.</p>
<p>20 years ago, catalysed by the death of our daughter Rosie, we were guided to develop a system of unique vibrational remedies finely tuned to the human energy body. It was at that time that we realized that the human chakra system had expanded from 7 main chakras to 13 chakras. With that realisation also came the need to help people understand the potential inherent in this expanded energy system and to teach a way of using this potential for the betterment of one&#8217;s own life as well as our world.</p>
<p>(<em>For a free PDF download of the 13 Chakra system right Click: <a title="Rainbow Chakra PDF" href="http://evolutionezine.com/Rainbow_Chakra%282%29.pdf" target="_blank">Rainbow Chakra System</a>)</em></p>
<p>The GOLDEN LIGHT PROJECT is an initiative that we started at Imbolc &#8211; an ancient festival of light &#8211; at the beginning of February this year. It is intended as a personal and global transformation and healing programme and initially the inspiration was to offer the GLP once to as many people as possible, and see how the programme would affect the collective consciousness of the people who were participating. I am sure you are familiar with the work of Dr. David Hawkins and his calibration of human consciousness. According to DR. Hawkins a human being begins to take responsibility for their life and their role in society around a consciousness level of 207. Anything below that includes low frequency states of consciousness like fear, greed, shame, envy, despair etc. etc.</p>
<p>The level of 207 is equated with courage.</p>
<p>Level 400 is love, and anything above level 700 &#8211; 1000+ is enlightened consciousness and unconditional love.</p>
<p>Well, our group started out at level 300 &#8211; which already was astounding and a testimony to the participants &#8211; but by the end of the programme the GOLDEN LIGHT group calibrated at 950 and even a week later was still &#8220;vibing&#8221; at 695!</p>
<p>This was a real eye opener for us and it became clear that we needed to continue with the GOLDEN LIGHT PROJECT with the aim of having as many people as possible participate so that the rise in consciousness would have an impact on the overall consciousness of humanity and consequently contribute to a better world for future generations. Our goal is based on the principle of the 100th monkey which says that a change in consciousness is inevitable once a certain number of people have achieved a sufficiently high level of vibration.</p>
<p>Naturally the programme will grow and evolve as we continue to receive inspiration and higher insights into the process of evolution and personal growth.</p>
<p>The GOLDEN LIGHT PROJECT has been and will continue to be offered on a donation basis. This way we can ensure that even people who would otherwise perhaps not have the means to participate, can benefit from the programme and receive the healing that they need.</p>
<p>The Golden Light is the Rainbow Bridge between our Highest Self and our physical/earthly self. This light contains all healing, wisdom, divine love and compassion that we will ever need. As we consciously direct the Golden Light through our 13 chakras into Mother Earth, we release energetic blocks and resistance to change within ourselves, clear old memories that don&#8217;t serve us any more and activate the talents and gifts within us that will help us to fulfill our life&#8217;s purpose.  And in doing so we experience the happiness, abundance and joy that we long for.</p>
<p>At the same time we also bring the divine energies of love, wisdom and healing into Mother Earth to help her during her transformation, as her fate and ours are inextricably linked.</p>
<p>And the more we do this clearing and healing process, the better and deeper the results!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p>
<p>Welcome to the world of affirmations. By choosing to use the tools in this book, you’ve made a conscious decision to heal your life and move forward on the path of positive change . . . and the time for that positive change is now! There is no time like the present for you to take control of your thoughts. Join the countless numbers of people who have changed their lives for the better by doing what I’m going to suggest to you in these pages.</p>
<p>Doing affirmations is not hard work. It can be a joyous experience as you lift the burden of old negative beliefs and release them back to the nothingness from whence they came.</p>
<p>Just because we’ve believed something negative about ourselves or about our lives does not mean that there is any truth to it. As children, we hear negative things about ourselves and about life and we accept these ideas as if they’re true. Now, we’re going to examine the things we’ve believed and make a decision to either continue to believe them because they support us and make our life joyful and fulfilled, or make the decision to release them. I like to imagine that I’m letting go of old beliefs by dropping them into a river, and they gently drift downstream and dissolve and disappear, never to return again.</p>
<p>Come into my garden of life and plant new thoughts and ideas that are beautiful and nourishing. Life loves you and wants you to have the very best. Life wants you to have peace of mind, inner joy, confidence, and an abundance of self-worth and self-love. You deserve to feel at ease at all times with all people and to earn a good living. So let me help you plant these ideas in your new garden. You can nourish them and watch them grow into beautiful flowers and fruits that will in turn feed and nourish you all of your life.</p>
<p>On the enclosed CD (<em>available when you purchase the book)</em>, I offer you more helpful information about affirmations that you can apply to virtually every aspect of your life. Feel free to listen to the CD at any time of the day or night— whenever you’d like positive thoughts and ideas to permeate your consciousness and fill you with hope and joy.</p>
<p><strong>CHAPTER 2</strong></p>
<p><strong>What Are Affirmations?</strong></p>
<p>For those of you who aren’t familiar with affirmations and have never worked with them, I’d like to explain a little about what they are and how they work. Very simply, an affirmation is anything you say or think. A lot of what people normally say and think is quite negative and doesn’t create good experiences. You have to retrain your thinking and speaking into positive patterns if you want to heal your life.</p>
<p>An affirmation opens the door. It’s a beginning point on the path to change. In essence, you’re saying to your subconscious mind: <em>“I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.”</em> When I talk about doing affirmations, I mean consciously choosing words that will either help eliminate something from your life or help create something new in your life.</p>
<p>Every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation. All of your self-talk, your internal dialogue, is a stream of affirmations. You’re using affirmations every moment whether you know it or not. You’re affirming and creating your life experiences with every word and thought.</p>
<p>Your beliefs are merely habitual thinking patterns that you learned as a child. Many of them work very well for you. Other beliefs may be limiting your ability to create the very things you say you want. What you want and what you believe you deserve may be very different. You need to pay attention to your thoughts so that you can begin to eliminate the ones creating experiences you do not want in your life.</p>
<p>Please realize that every complaint is an affirmation of something you think you don’t want in your life. Every time you get angry, you’re affirming that you want more anger in your life. Every time you feel like a victim, you’re affirming that you want to continue to feel like a victim. If you feel that Life isn’t giving you what you want, then it’s certain that you will never have the goodies that Life gives to others—that is, until you change the way you think and talk.</p>
<p>You’re not a bad person for thinking the way you do. You’ve just never learned how to think and talk. People throughout the world are just now beginning to learn that thoughts create experiences. Your parents probably didn’t know this, so they couldn’t possibly teach it to you. They taught you how to look at life in the way that their parents taught them. So nobody is wrong. However, it’s time for you to wake up and begin to consciously create your life in a way that pleases and supports you. You can do it. I can do it. We all can do it—we just need to learn how. So let’s get to it.</p>
<p>Throughout this book, I’ll talk about specific topics and concerns (health, fearful emotions, critical thinking, addictions, forgiveness, work, money and prosperity, friends, love and intimacy, and aging) and give you exercises that will show you how to make positive changes in these areas.</p>
<p><strong>Creating Affirmations</strong></p>
<p>Doing affirmations is consciously choosing to think certain thoughts that will manifest positive results in the future. They create a focal point that will allow you to begin changing your thinking.</p>
<p>Affirmative statements are going beyond the reality of the present into the creation of the future through the words you use in the now. When you choose to say “I am very prosperous,” you may actually have very little money in the bank at the moment, but what you’re doing is planting seeds for future prosperity. Each time you repeat this statement, you’re reaffirming the seeds you’ve planted in the atmosphere of your mind. That’s why you want it to be a happy atmosphere. Things grow much quicker in fertile, rich soil.</p>
<p>It’s important for you to always say your affirmations in the present tense, and without contractions. (Although I use contractions throughout the running text of my books, I never use them in affirmations, since I don’t want to diminish their power.) For example, typical affirmations would start: “I have . . .” or “I am . . .”</p>
<p>If you say, “I am going to . . .” or “I will have . . . ,” then your thought stays out there in the future. The Universe takes your thoughts and words very literally and gives you what you say you want. Always.</p>
<p>This is another reason to maintain a happy mental atmosphere. It’s easier to think in positive affirmations when you feel good. Think of it this way: Every thought you think counts, so don’t waste your precious thoughts. Every positive thought brings good into your life. Every negative thought pushes good away; it keeps it just out of your reach. How many times in your life have you almost gotten something good and it seemed to be snatched away at the last moment? If you could remember what your mental atmosphere was like at those times, you’d have the answer. Too many negative thoughts create a barrier against positive affirmations.</p>
<p>If you say, <em>“I don’t want to be sick anymore,”</em> this is not an affirmation for good health. You have to state clearly what you do want: <em>“I accept perfect health now.”</em> <em>“I hate this car”</em> does not bring you a wonderful new car because you’re not being clear. Even if you do get a new car, in a short time you’ll probably hate it, because that’s what you’ve been affirming. If you want a new car, then say something like this: <em>“I have a beautiful new car that suits all of my needs.”</em></p>
<p>You’ll hear some people saying, “Life sucks!” (which is a terrible affirmation). Can you imagine what experiences that statement will attract to you? Of course, it isn’t life that sucks, it’s your thinking that sucks. That thought will help you feel terrible. And when you feel terrible, no good can come into your life.</p>
<p>Don’t waste time arguing for your limitations: poor relationships, problems, illnesses, poverty, and so on. The more you talk about the problem, the more you anchor it in place. Don’t blame others for what is seemingly wrong in your life—that’s just another waste of time. Remember, you’re under the laws of your own consciousness, your own thoughts, and you attract specific experiences to you as a result of the way you think.</p>
<p>Now, let’s deal with some specific topics&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Just this afternoon I was struck by a comment a beloved friend made&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Our Problems are small relative to the horror that is happening in the World &#8211; It Makes Me So Angry To Learn&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I then listened for a few minutes as he began to list the horrors going on around him -and I realized how quickly I could add to the list.  Seems everywhere you look in the world today something horrible is taking place &#8211; from Devastating EarthQuakes to Erupting Volcanoes, to Whole Countries Facing Economic Collapse, the list goes on and on and on&#8230;</p>
<p>And I realized as I listened to him how much these stories have infiltrated our lives.  Turn on the TV to get a weather forecast and listen to the horrors of the Oil Spill off the coast of Louisiana,  turn on the computer to check your emails and find the latest on the coal mine collapse, check the kids backpack and find the list detailing the dangers of Swine Flu, overhear people talking in the SuperMarket wondering what next product will be pulled from the shelf because of Ecoli&#8230;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it &#8211; anyone who expects the world to be a fearful place has lots of evidence to prove their point.</p>
<p>So &#8211; I have to ask &#8211; how does all this make you feel?  As you consider the list of reasons why the world is falling apart do you feel empowered, large, ready to make a different in the world?  Does your light shine and your smile radiate?  Are you inclined to fill you day with life enhancing activities and Random Acts of Kindness?</p>
<p>Or does it make you feel fearful and small  or angry and indignant.  Do you find yourself talking about the stories and looking to place blame and building it up in your head until you can&#8217;t help but conclude that the world is filled with big problems &#8211; much bigger than your little ones &#8211; and you should be grateful for what you got because so many have so much less..</p>
<p>I know how it makes me feel when i let myself go there&#8230;</p>
<p>And when I said as much to my friend &#8211; when I suggested that perhaps it would be better if we kept our focus on what feels good &#8211; on what we want to expand &#8211; he struggled with the idea because for him it felt like a denial of what is and his truth demands that he remains present with the what is being shown to him in the world.</p>
<p>And I could see his point.  I mean &#8211; whether we like it or not these stories are all around us &#8211; and unless we close ourselves completely from the world the stories will find us one way or another &#8211; and to deny that they exist will not keep them from infiltrating our subconscious and affecting our experience of the world.</p>
<p>As we talked an idea came to me &#8211; a way where we can all be present with the stories we are hearing in such a way that we &#8211; collectively -transform them.</p>
<p>To help make this idea clearer I want to first refer you to two posts that have been previously published in the ezine&#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Quite some time ago I published an article &#8220;<a title="Worry and Love Cannot Occupy the same Space" href="http://evolutionezine.com/worry-and-love-cannot-occupy-the-same-space-by-cyndi/" target="_blank">Worry and Love Cannot Occupy the Same Space</a>&#8220;, did you read it?  I would love to know what you think about it.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In another article in the Ezine we introduced the concept of <a title="Virus of the Mind" href="http://evolutionezine.com/how-we-get-programmed/" target="_blank">Mind Viruses</a> &#8211; a really interesting read and an important concept &#8211; so if you aren&#8217;t familiar with it why don&#8217;t you take a quick read and then come back &#8211; I can wait for you <img src='http://evolutionezine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What if we look at all this talk about Natural Disasters and Terrorist Attacks and Economic Ruin as  Mind Viruses that are affecting us and &#8211; by our fear based response &#8211; are being spread.</p>
<p>And then what if we create  New Mind Viruses &#8211; Let&#8217;s Call Them &#8220;Happiness Viruses&#8221; &#8211; that we infect each other with &#8211; that are Stronger than the Fear Viruses &#8211; and that we Feed and Care For and Help Grow  and Spread- and then we &#8211; by our intention &#8211; move them into those same spaces that had been occupied by the Fear Viruses</p>
<p>Just Imagine &#8211; Within the Context of  &#8220;What You Focus on Expands&#8221; &#8211; What the World Will Be Like If We Really Make This Viral?</p>
<p>Looks Good &#8211; Right?</p>
<p>So Let&#8217;s Get Started&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Step I</strong>: Pick the World Fear Virus You Wish to Transform &#8211; whichever one is uppermost in your mind &#8211; name it and put it aside for the moment (in other words don&#8217;t focus and feed it &#8211; just say hi)</p>
<p><strong>Step II</strong>: Get Happy <img src='http://evolutionezine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  and share</p>
<p>Remember a story &#8211; an event in your life &#8211; a video you have seen &#8211; a meal you shared &#8211; that makes you feel happy. Take the time to share it in the comment section below (it will become part of the viral portion of this plan).  If its a video &#8211; watch it &#8211; if its a short story &#8211; read it &#8211; a memory &#8211; write it out for us and then take the time to really relive it &#8211; remembering the sounds, pictures and feelings until your whole being is filled with happiness.</p>
<p>Something that makes me happy &#8211; every time &#8211; <a title="Laughter is the Best Medicine" href="http://evolutionezine.com/laughter-is-the-best-medicine/" target="_blank">Laughter</a></p>
<p><strong>Step III: </strong>While remaining in the state of happiness direct your thought toward the Fear Story.  Picture the happiness flowing over and through the devastation and heartache.  See the light increase and the people involved smile.  Use the power of your imagination to change the story into one of love and happiness.  And stay with it for as long as the happiness within you remains strong (once you practice this for awhile you will find that the happiness within you begins to grow as you flow it over the story of fear &#8211; at which time stay with it for as long as you want)</p>
<p><strong>Step IV: </strong>Repeat Often &#8211; daily if you can &#8211; and switch up the happiness stories you use.  Bookmark this post and come back and read other peoples happiness stories and use those &#8211; and add more of your own.  And also let us know in what ways the Happiness Virus is transforming your own life experience.</p>
<p><strong>Step V: </strong>Spread the Virus!!! &#8211; Let&#8217;s not contain this within the confines of our small community.  Share the link  http://evolutionezine.com/happiness-virus with your friends, on twitter, on facebook &#8211; where ever and however you can.  We may not have the power of  Network TV,  Newspaper, Yahoo or Google &#8211; but we do have each other &#8211; and if everyone who reads this post shares their experience &#8211; and then gets just 3 friends to participate &#8211; who then get 3 friends &#8211; who then get&#8230;.</p>
<p>Well &#8211; then &#8211; before we know it we will have infected the World !!!</p>
<p>One more thing and then I will leave you too it.  Because it&#8217;s one way I stay happy I will be choosing a comment a day &#8211; for as long as comments keep coming in &#8211; and will gift the writer with something from our store.</p>
<p>So &#8211; what are you waiting for &#8211; let&#8217;s get happy <img src='http://evolutionezine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p><em><strong>“There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern &#8211; why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?” &#8211; William Hazlitt</strong></em></p>
<p>A couple of years ago, I was flying home late one night after spending all week in California for a business trip. I would fly for these trips to either California or Tokyo about once every 1-2 months so they were very familiar and routine for me. Pretty much nothing interesting ever happened, which in my opinion is a great thing when it comes to traveling. <img class="wp-smiley" src="http://www.chriscade.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /></p>
<p>On the flight that one fateful night, I had just finished reading Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development for Smart People, and as I was writing my review of it, I notice that the airplane started going downwards very fast… faster than I’ve ever experienced before. My ears almost never pop when I fly, but that night my ears were popping every minute for several minutes in a row.</p>
<p>I looked around, and nobody else seemed to be concerned. (At least nobody outwardly showed concern) But there was this question in my mind, and a feeling in my gut… “Are we going to be okay?” Right after that thought crossed my mind, the airplane started experiencing major turbulence. Enough that even though I don’t get airsick, my stomach was starting to feel very uneasy.</p>
<p>Between the rapid drop and the turbulence, I was having trouble writing my review, and I wasn’t feeling particularly safe in that moment. I thought to myself…</p>
<p><em>“I wonder if I’m going to die?”</em></p>
<p>In that instant, I realized that if in fact I was going to die, my preference was not to be typing something on the computer that wouldn’t even reach the people it was written for (i.e. you). So I paused for a moment, looked out the window and saw the beautiful moon and just focused my attention on being calm and present.</p>
<p>It was a delightful feeling, and I felt strangely at peace despite the unusual circumstances of my flight. Well, until…</p>
<p>Another massive turbulent streak brought me back to my mind… “Am I going to die?” I tried to tune into my intuition, but I wasn’t able to hear it. That’s both good and bad because although I wish I were able to hear my intuition all the time &#8211; and in this case so I could have an answer to my perilous question &#8211; in my experience my intuition usually only tells me when there’s something REALLY big to be concerned about.</p>
<p>And since it wasn’t shouting at me, “Danger Will Robinson! Danger!” I concluded that we all would probably be alright. I turned my attention to the moon again, enjoyed the calm serenity, and within a few moments the pilot announced we would be landing shortly.</p>
<p>I’d like to say I felt relieved, but I didn’t. For me, landing was just another part of this experience called “life,” whether that experience lasts longer, or had ended last night. Either way, I realized I was grateful simply to be alive and experiencing this wondrous mystery.</p>
<p>I’m not entirely sure why I shared all that with you. Perhaps there’s a question in my mind that asks, “How can I connect with others more deeply? How can I inspire, encourage, enlighten, and ultimately empower others?”</p>
<p>And perhaps this blog post was one way in which I can answer those two questions. My very real airplane story isn’t really about me, although I was the main character. I sense it’s really about all of us and how we choose to respond to adversity, challenge, and those things which threaten our ideas about life and the way we live.</p>
<p>Although you may view this post in the perspective of somberness, as the topic of death often does, we still have a choice how we receive these messages about death.</p>
<p>I am reminded of a quote from a very enjoyable movie called <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.spiritual-short-stories.com/recommends/last-of-his-tribe" target="new">The Last of His Tribe</a> that is based on a true story. The following words were spoken by Ishi, a Native American who helped bring wisdom to the west:</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>“If you do not sing for your dead, how will they be able to find the trail to their ancestors?”</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>That’s a very good question, regardless of whether we believe in an afterlife. That question gets to the heart of the matter in a very direct way &#8211; When given the choice between sorrow and joy, what would we rather choose?</p>
<p>When my brother Michael died of cancer in 2001, I spoke at his eulogy. I spoke of how wrong it was for such a young man in his early 30’s, in great health, and with two very young children, to be taken at such a young age. I also spoke about the joy he brought to all of our lives, and how those joyful memories can bring smiles to our faces during that time of painful emotional upheaval.</p>
<p>And when I finished my eulogy, I looked out among the sea of more than 100 people who cared about Michael deeply, and what I saw touched me deeply. With tears in their eyes, people were smiling.</p>
<p>In the likeness of Ishi, those in attendance rose beyond their sorrow and found a way to sing… to help Michael find the trail to his ancestors.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
<em>When faced with the threat of divorce, <a title="More from Chris Cade on Evolution Ezine" href=" http://evolutionezine.com/tag/chris-cade/" target="_blank">Chris Cade</a> turned to personal development to mend his relationship. That set off a chain reaction of unexpected events, ultimately leading him to request that his employer lay him off in April of 2009. Although Chris did still eventually get divorced, the changes in his life continue to be positive, empowering, and permanent.</em></p>
