Returning to
Curves (fitness center) this month after my December hiatus, an older woman and I chatted during our 30 minute workout. She mentioned how all her children and grandchildren live in the same town as she does. Then she said, "I'm a millionaire" adding, "having my family nearby is my wealth." Smiling I continued my workout pondering the things that brings us joy and the different forms of wealth.
Self-Healing Expressions offers several courses to help one evaluate what brings joy and gives purpose. Melanie Votaw's course on
"
Life Purpose"
especially comes to mind. As we embark on a New Year, consider creating a road map to help manifest your special purpose - if you have not done so yet. Also, consider posting your intentions for 2006 on our festive Intention Wall (details below).
Finally, warm your spirit with our NEW Fire Meditation (details below), created for our Feng Shui course. Seems there has never been a better time for 'Fire element people' to use their vision and enthusiasm to inspire peace, prayer, the healing of the global family, and the healing of the planet.
Blessings for healing and happiness in 2006!

The Meaning of the New Year 2006: Self Expression
By Linda Pendleton
When I awoke and opened my eyes and glanced toward the window, I saw it was cloudy and threatening more rain, and I pulled the covers closer around my shoulders, planning to sleep more, but soon realized that Spirit had a message for me. It was Thursday morning, this December 29th. My wise and witty
spirit guide,
Dr. Peebles gave me a happy New Year greeting and said the New Year 2006 would be about SELF. His early morning greeting gave me a smile and I communicated to him that I would…

Unity: Embracing the Oneness of Existence
By Elizabeth Reed with Neil Douglas-Klotz
It is impossible that Yeshua (Jesus) would have seen things in the separate categories that we do today. For a first century Middle Easterner there was no separation between heaven and hell, no division between inner and outer, no sense of natural and supernatural. Everything was a part of a unified whole. It is not possible that Yeshua could have seen anything except Unity. How would it be for you to look at the world through eyes that could only see Unity in everything? As you watch news releases from the Middle East...

The Shaman Way: The Gifts of the Shaman
By Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls
|
What are the gifts of the Shaman you ask? Healing the spirit is the primary function of a Shaman. And the Shaman may accomplish this in a number of ways...
Soul-retrieval is the gift by which the Shaman retrieves pieces of the person lost soul. This is often accomplished by journeying to the Spirit World and requesting assistance from the spirits, ancestors, and guides that dwell in Other Realities or Worlds. These beings assist the Shaman in discovering what is wrong with the person. And...

Laughter Therapy: Finding the Spirit of Laughter
By Lynn Shaw, Laugh Therapist
|
The spirit of laughter lies within each one of us, connecting with the mind, body and spirit. It is not separated as if we treat only the foot or only the hand. Take a moment to draw a triangle on paper with all sides in proportion, and then label one side Mind, one side Body, and one side Spirit. Now, draw a circle inside the triangle with the circle touching each side of the triangle. Write the word Emotions in the circle. This diagram illustrates that when we are…

Here's What You're Saying About Our Courses...
"This course has been so inspirational for me, because it has shown me just how much I have grown. I have been on a conscious spiritual journey for about 12 years now, and sometimes I feel like I haven't learned anything or I start to doubt myself. Doing this course has been a great reminder that I have come a great distance. By doing the lessons I am reminded of the person I used to be, and the person I am today. I tend to forget just how much I have learned and how much I have grown. It has also given me a new perspective, or greater insight on some things I thought I already new. Even though I have completed these lessons, I plan on going back and spending more time and delving in even deeper on some. Very helpful and inspiring. Thank You!"
~ Anne Boss, California (
Journey to the Heart: Exploring the World of Spirit course)
"In 30 days, through a series of computed generated lessons... Rev. Brockway promised to guide you to your soul mate. Each lesson helps you write a couple sentences or a paragraph outlining everything from physical appearance to religious preference, political slants, culture and ethnicity, values and personal belief... The end result says Rev. Brockway, is a romantic resume... While a resume may sound anything but romantic, it is a way to get clear about your hopes and dreams for the future, especially for your love life. The process of producing this outline will serve as a reality check of your status, help you pinpoint distinctions between fantasies and true desires, guide you in assessing what is really important in a mate, and even accelerate your ability to attract one."

Dear Marty ~ Is it okay to cremate a pet?
Q & A by Bereavement Counselor Marty Tousley
|
Question: I lost my sweet cat just this week, and I'm so confused as to what I should do! My vet is holding his body right now in a freezer. I have an appointment to have him cremated on Tuesday and I will witness it to make certain that it is his remains that I get back, but in the last few days I have heard that it is not good to destroy the body if possible, because when the body/spirit is renewed it should be intact. If there is a place or way that we see each other again, I don't want to ruin the chances of it happening by doing the wrong thing...

We pray tonight, O God, for confidence in ourselves, our powers and our purposes in this beginning of a New Year. Ward us from all lack of faith and hesitancy and inspire in us not only the determination to do a year's work well, but the unfaltering belief that what we wish to do, we will do. Such Faith, O Lord, is born of Works. Every deed accomplished finishes not only itself but is fallow ground for future deeds. Abundantly endow us, Our Father, with this deed-born faith.
