It's
finally spring and all the dead trees and plants have given
way to the beauty and majesty of creation. Spring
inspires me to cultivate my own creation - something
many of us put on the back-burner in favor of mental pursuits.
Spirit is always in the process of creation and death - and
if we want our dream to be fresh, we must also engage in the
same process. Out with the old and in with the new! So what
are you creating right now? This month's article is about
creation and perhaps you will gain a new perspective on
how important it is on your spiritual path.
I'm interested in how you reacted to last
months article on trust. Do send me an email
letting me know what you thought.
In response to many emails I have been receiving
- I've added a Spiritual Retreat to Sedona, AZ for September 19-24th. Please join us this
year - use the trip to jump-start a new dream or to clear
away what's no longer working for you. If you'd like to come,
let me know right away.
Don't forget about our summer journeys to
Teotihuacan, Mexico July 30th-Aug 4th and the Grand Canyon - Havasupai Aug 15-20th. Some folks
have been fearful of traveling to Mexico due to things they
have heard on the news. My feeling is that most of these fearful issues will be resolved by summer. In the meantime - please don't get caught up in the media frenzy.
Ladies, come join us for a truly magical adventure of heart and spirit to the Caribbean Island of Bimini for an intimate and touching experience with the wild spotted dolphins. During our time with the dolphins we'll have the opportunity to open our hearts and practice unconditional love and acceptance, for these marvelous creatures, ourselves and each other. Although they do not speak our language, dolphins are natural empaths who respond to the emotions we radiate and the judgmental thoughts or clarity of mind we possess.
These are wild dolphins and when we approach their pods they make the choice to come and join, swim and connect with us. Connecting with their wondrous spirits can be a profoundly moving, deeply healing and life altering experience. Their immense peace, joy and playfulness will touch your heart and awaken your own wondrous spirit to the magic of your own magnificence.
This week we will spend time looking at our communication skills, self-judgments and the limiting thought patterns which are interfering with our most important relationships and preventing us from becoming the true manifestation of Spirit that we really are!
Trip cost is $2295.00 USD per person double occupancy or quad occupancy most meals included.
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. Deidre Bainbridge is co-teaching with me on this journey. 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)
Sheri talks about How to Deal with Fear during difficult times like these. Being able to see more than one point of view is important to transend fear - without that ability you will only be able to see the world through the glasses of your own negative personal belief system. Please join us for this important lecture! Please register on the website.
I must admit, I love Spring. Living proof of the miracle of life, it’s such a wonderful time of transformation and change. Even in challenging economic times such as these – it is hard not to feel blessed by this season’s display of flowering trees, bulbs and bushes. So how can we use the lessons of this season to help us through difficult times?
By nature, life is in the constant process of letting go what does not work and genetically shifting to preserve what does. Unfortunately as humans, we rarely follow the pattern of life. When times are good, we focus on doing what we become comfortable in doing without often evaluating what could be better. We don’t bother looking at what is not working because everything on the surface seems to be okay. We feel good basking in the status quo. It’s easy to concentrate on the flowers, plants and bushes while ignoring the weeds.
Eventually there is a draught and the flowers, plants and bushes die away. But the weeds remain because we did not tend to them and they grew hearty over time. Without competition they thrive and multiply – leaving us with two issues: how to get the flowers growing again and how to remove the weeds that we never bothered to address. The same occurs in our lives. How many of us over the past 10 years have been in jobs and situations that were tolerable, or even good – but did not bother to deeply evaluate the truth of our lives?
We take such actions because it’s easy to go with the flow when the going is seemingly good. But if we have awareness – we know that no situation stays the same and everything has its season. I know for myself that this “recessionary” time has been a blessing in so many ways. It has given me an opportunity to see very clearly the parts of my life and business that are not as beautiful as I wish them to be. Now, I can make changes that better serve me since all the flowers, plants and bushes that I used to focus my attention on are gone. It is very clear what I want to change now.
I encourage you to step back and look carefully at your dream, without judgment. What aspects have you been blinding yourself with, refusing to evaluate? What exists in your garden that is worthy of cultivating? If the answer is nothing – then congratulations – spring is here and it’s time to till the land and dig up all the weeds! Start fresh and feel blessed by the opportunity to do so. Truly there is no good or bad – only life. We can judge this economic situation to be terrible or we can choose with all the power of our spirit to see it as something else – another opportunity for self-evaluation and personal evolution.
¿Cómo?, me preguntarán. Primero miremos la palabra "Crisis" que ya eso le agrega un nivel emocional de temor. Y aquí unos breves pasos para comenzar a disminuir el reto y verlo como una oportunidad de crecimiento:
Entregarse y Aceptar: Entregarse a cada momento y no resistir lo que está ocurriendo.
Humildad y Merecimiento: ¿Porqué nos cuesta tanto trabajo pedir ayuda y aceptarla? Todos somos dignos y merecedores. Solamente con preguntar no sabes las puertas que se te puedan abrir.
Voluntad: Todos los días hay que decir Si y tomar acción, pero acción con claridad y basada en amor y respeto propio, no una llena de temor.
Gratitud: En vez de concentrarnos en el puntito negro de nuestras vida de lo que está ocurriendo ahora, tomemos un paso atrás y mira todas las bendiciones a tu alrededor. Te prometo que por muy difícil que se te vea todo, siempre hay algo por lo que dar gracias. Y un paso a un nivel más profundo dar gracias por lo que estas pasando pues puede ser tu gran maestro.
Fe: Fe en ti mismo y que saldrás adelante por que tu, todo lo puedes, si te entregas.
Caridad: Estate en servicio a la vida. Ayuda al prójimo. No sabes lo que una llamada a un ser querido pueda significarle en ese momento.
Amor: Esto sobre todo lo demás - Amor Incondicional - Amor hacia ti mismo, hacia el prójimo, y hacia la vida - que es tan grande, tan rica y tan preciosa.

I just wanted to introduce all of you to my new favorite meditation tool. Before recommending this product - I decided to give it a try myself to see how it works. I have been experimenting with this program for 3 months now and I highly recommend it! I could go into how the sound technology works - but it is better if you read their material yourself.
Centerpointe Research Institute has
created a proprietary audio technology called Holosync®
that instantly (and gently) puts you into deep states of
meditation (in fact, even deeper than those achieved by
veteran Zen Monks), at the push of a button.
This means that you can now start enjoying and profiting
from all the recognized health benefits of deep meditation
beginning the very first day you use it instead of waiting
through years of hard practice. Just click to order a free demo disc.
I want to share a program that is available from Guy Finley whose books I have recommended int the past. Guy makes it clear in Secrets of Being Unstoppable that we all have the inner power to create a beautiful life for ourselves. The barriers that presently keep us from the success we seek - limitation, discouragement, bad luck - hold no real authority over this unclaimed gift. When we awaken to its higher possibilities, there is literally nothing that can stand in our way.
The problem so to speak, is that most people are content with their life "as is." And those content with "life as usual" can never realize their full potential for this one reason: they have ceased to nourish the secret part of themselves that has the power to develop their true potential.
In this new audio program you will gain the knowledge you need to enjoy the love and success you've always wanted. Learn the 5 simple steps to make yourself fearless, how to relax your way to a richer life, awaken the greatness within, and more. all in Secrets of Being Unstoppable.

GIFT OF THE MONTH To raise funds to help finish paying for Millie's brain surgery
My name is Malena Bisanti-Wall and my sister Katrina is part of the Toltec Dreaming group in New England. She recently told me about Millie Munoz's story when we saw each other at Christmas. In order to help support Millie's brain surgery, Katrina had a great idea - I could use my passion of working with clay to help raise money for her surgery fund.
For all orders placed by April 30, I would like to offer my artwork at a discounted price and 20% of all orders will go towards Millie's surgery fund. In addition, Katrina is matching the amount raised to further support Millie's cause. To see the pictures of all my clay art (and get the sizes of my pieces), please visit: www.flickr.com/photos/mbisantiwall.
To order, simply complete and return my order form.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at mbwclayartist@hotmail.com.
Thank you for your help in supporting this worthy cause!
Sincerely,
Malena Bisanti-Wall

FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE MONTH
Words of Wisdom for the Heart
"We must not be attached to a view or a doctrine, even
a Buddhist one - The Buddha said that if in a certain moment
or place you adopt something as the absolute truth, and you
attach to that, then you will no longer have any chance to
reach the truth. Even when the truth comes and knocks on your
door, and asks you to open the door, you won't recognize it.
So you must not be too attached to dogma - to what you believe,
and to what you perceive."
~Thich Nhat Hanh [in an interview with Diane Wolkstein featured
in Parabola Vol 30, No 4]
