It's
hard to believe that half the year is over. I do feel that the winds of change are blowing and that our ecomomy is inproving and people can see the positive change. This month's article is about
choices - one's made from truth versus ones made from fear. I hope you enjoy it.
I'm interested in how you reacted to last
months article on creating. Do send me an email
letting me know what you thought.
I am looking forward to Sept 19-24th in Sedona. Do join us during this sacred time of year (Rosh Hashana week) - you can read about the trip below or on the website: Spiritual Retreat to Sedona, AZ.
Use the trip to jump-start a new dream or to clear
away what's no longer working for you. If you haven't allowed yourself a vacation yet this year - please do. We all need to take time to regenerate and have quiet time to get out of our own minds and connect more deeply to spirit.
Don't forget about our summer journeys to
Teotihuacan, Mexico July 30th-Aug 4th and the Grand Canyon - Havasupai Aug 15-20th. The flu situation has resolved itself and things are fine in Mexico again.
Join us for a truly transformational spiritual journey to the ancient home of the Toltecs. Using the layout of the city as a model for transcendence, we spend four days changing our dream of hell to a dream of heaven on earth. The energy here is perfect to support our personal work and change. Discover all the things that have been preventing you from expressing yourself fully and authentically in this lifetime. Just as the ancient Toltecs did here at Teotihuacán, we will practice the three masteries: Mastery of Awareness, of Transformation and Intent. Become the true manifestation of Spirit that you really are.
This is a very profound and heartfelt trip - meant to allow
you to experience your divinity! On this journey we will be
focusing our attention on The Medicine Bag
- a powerful process designed by my teacher don Miguel Ruiz
that allows you to see your mental map and
its limiting aspects. You will need to bring a couple of specific
items with you on this journey to create your medicine bag.
But you'll be able to bring home your magical creation and
continue your work in your home dream. 2009 trip cost is:
$1150.00 per person, double occupancy, most meals included
(special summer price!).
On this adventure you descend into one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, into the heart of the Grand Canyon at Havasu Canyon, where we will hike and explore this incredible landscape, swimming in travertine pools of turquoise blue, enjoying the evenings at our comfortable permanent camp (with exclusive arrangement with the Havasupai tribe) searching for stars, having great meals and sharing our experiences during our adventure.
It is this spiritual energy that forms the basis for our 5 days of heart-felt transformation and personal expansion.
The focus and intent of this journey is to transcend any fears we have about what we can and cannot accomplish in our lives and within the depths of the canyon and the heart of the mother earth we will find our answers. Some say you haven't lived until you've taken a journey through Grand Canyon. This journey takes you through the heart of the canyon and will leave you with a sense of accomplishment, awe and a true appreciation and love of the grandest place on earth.
Within the depths of the canyon and the heart of the mother earth we will find our answers. 2009 trip cost is: $2095.00 per person, double occupancy, most meals included.
Please
join us for a magical retreat to the red rock country
of Sedona, Arizona. For six days we will have the opportunity
to experience the beauty, majesty and energy of this unusual
location on Mother Earth. Each day we will visit
a different vortex to reflect our inner mystic
to us, and in addition, the limiting beliefs and concepts
that are keeping us from this self-realization and oneness.
The time frame for our September retreat happens to be
during the sacred Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur. Beginning with Rosh Hashanah on September
18th - until Yom Kippur on September 27th which is the
day of Atonement (the at-one-ment with Spirit/God),
the veils between the worlds are thin making it a perfect
time to reflect on the past year and to commit to dreaming
a healthier future filled with our deepest intentions.
It's time for forgiveness and living our life
from a place of wholeness and love. Indeed -
you don't have to be Jewish to appreciate this mythology
(as this journey is not about religion, but about expressing
our divine nature). You only need the desire to open your
heart and mind to more powerful opportunities for love
and light in your life.
We will be gathering at the lovely Sedona Mago
Retreat Center. The center serves a healthy vegetarian
diet and is located on land that vibrates at a high frequency.
Using the techniques of the vision quest, shamanistic
dreaming, meditation and ceremony we will embrace our
oneness with the land and each other. From this vantage
point you will clearly see how you are preventing yourself
from becoming all you can be in this lifetime. As part
of this retreat we will engage in a fire ceremony, multiple
ceremonies in beautiful locations, and a beautiful healing
massage which is part of the retreat package. If you are
looking for a place to open your heart and to gain clarity
of your mind, this is where you want to be. Shanti
Gilbert is co-teaching with me on this journey.
2009 trip cost is: $1559.00 per person, double occupancy,
most meals included.
On this spiritual journey, we will be using the energies of this amazing country to assist us in experiencing the divine within. Peru is the perfect place for this adventure of ceremony and inner exploration of the heart.
We will be joined by Jorge Luis Delgado, author of Andean Awakening, Peruvian Shaman and great source of the ancient Inca teachings and traditions. By the end of this journey you will consider Jorge family. You can see Jorge and Lee in this video he made last time he was in Peru. -->
Using the three levels of the Inca's mythology of transcendence, we move from the dark underworld of our own minds to the clarity of spiritual consciousness. The snake, puma and condor will be the symbols we use to represent our spiritual ascension for these 11 sacred days together. Lee McCormick will be co-teaching with me on this journey. This 2009 trip cost is $3295.00 per person double occupancy including many meals and internal flights (not international flights).
During our journey we will dream our own spiritual transcendence just as the ancient initiates did thousands of years ago. As we walk within the footsteps of those before us with each step we come to know who we really are. We know our birthright and the eternal divinity that exists within us.
On this sacred journey we have the opportunity on this journey to be in the presence of sacred space designed for the purpose of spiritual alignment. Private time in the Great Pyramid will be one of the highlights of this journey - and believe me that is magical. Join us as we share in the magic and mystery of these powerful places and in saying, "YES" to life and the experience of your transcendence.
Join us as we share in the magic and mystery of these powerful places. 2009 trip cost is $4740.00 double occ. (including all international and internal flights and most meals)

I had the opportunity to watch the movie The Reader last night and I was stuck by profound impact of the characters decisions throughout their lives. As I sat back and reflected upon the movie – I thought of hundreds of personal choices that changed the story of my own movie-worthy life. So often we make choices totally unaware of what we are creating. Just one seemingly small choice may have catastrophic effects if made without consciousness.
Even more profound than making decisions unconsciously, are choices based on our deep-seated fears. For example, in the movie Hanna chooses to seduce Michael who is years younger than she is, unaware of the effect the experience is having on him. She is only focused on her desires, needs and fears. When she chooses to leave town for a new job without telling him, he is devastated – affected for the rest of his life by this heartbreak.
Later Michael finds out that Hanna left town to take a job as a guard with the SS in Nazi Germany. He doesn’t know why she took that job at first, but we do – she cannot read. When she was offered a promotion from her position as fare collector to an office job, she becomes so afraid that people will discover her ignorance that she quits. So shamed is she – that she takes a job that will require her to work at Auschwitz sentencing people to death. In her mind she rather be responsible for the death of others than reveal her lack of education and perceived stupidity.
Twenty years later she is part of a war crimes trial where she must testify on her behalf. Michael, a law student at the time, is witnessing the trial unbeknownst to Hanna. He watches her take responsibility for writing a report that sentences her to life in prison rather than admitting to the court that she could not have written the report because she was illiterate. The court sentences her for her illiteracy in her mind which she feels she deserves – not for her part in the death camps – after all, she was only doing her job.
So what does all this have to do with you and me? Everything! Most of us are so unaware, so expert at justifying our actions with our illogical logic – that we cannot see what evil we are creating in our lives’ and the effect our choices will have on ourselves and others. You might be thinking how can someone make such stupid choices – but we all are responsible for these kinds of decisions. Whenever we act from fear, shame and self-judgment we can expect the outcome to be painful.
I encourage you to take a moment to go deep inside and look at one decision you made that was fearful. Contemplate it and admit the real reasons for your choices and ask yourself if the outcome of that choice was worth giving in to your fear. Could you have made a healthier more life-affirming decision? It takes a lot of personal power to not fall under the spell of our fear-based thought forms and beliefs.
In the end we suffer for the rest of our lives when we make fear-based choices. If we would push past the fear – knowing it's only smoke, a thought-form without solidity, we might suffer for a few minutes or days – but we would not suffer for years as a result of our fear-based actions. In the end, only with awareness can we create a beautiful dream built from love, clarity and truth. If you haven't seen the movie I highly recommend you watch it from the point of view I have suggested today.

Excuses Begone! How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change the self-defeating thinking patterns that have prevented you from living at the highest levels of success, happiness, and health. Even though you may know what to think, actually changing those thinking habits that have been with you since childhood might be somewhat challenging.
So the business of modifying habituated thinking patterns really comes down to tossing out the same tired old excuses and examining your beliefs in a new and truthful light.
In this book, Wayne presents a compendium of conscious and subconscious crutches employed by virtually everyone, along with ways to cast them aside once and for all. You’ll learn to apply specific questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the steps of a new paradigm. The old, habituated ways of thinking will melt away as you experience the absurdity of hanging on to them.
You’ll ultimately realize that there are no excuses worth defending, ever, even if they’ve always been part of your life—and the joy of releasing them will resonate throughout your very being. When you eliminate the need to explain your shortcomings or failures, you’ll awaken to the life of your dreams.
If you order now, you'll receive a free 2-hour workshop download so you can immediately begin to draw connections between your own life and Dr. Dyer's teachings. Pick up a copy today: Excuses Be Gone!

WHAT I LOVE - LOVE - LOVE THIS MONTH!
Do take a moment to watch this video!
Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. In this "peace through music project," Playing for Change recorded street performers from around the globe while performing One Love in their virtual studio. This layered rendition of the well-known Bob Marley song is an organic collection of global sound that truly encompasses love transcended through music. Please enjoy this wonderful video!
FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE MONTH
Words of Wisdom for the Heart
"If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry."
~The Dalai Lama
