An animal communicator once explained to Ken and I that Duke, our sweet sheltie, barked so much because "it is fun" and Duke didn't realize that his excessive barking irritated us. So she took a moment to telepathically explain this matter to Duke and thereafter he seemed to bark less. Well, at least to me. Ken might argue this point when Duke barks at the squirrels in the yard while he is on the phone with a client. Regardless, we love him and appreciate the joy and laughter he brings to our home.
In honor of our furry friends, we have recently posted a Prayer Wall for the Animals. Please help us launch this prayer request bulletin board today by visiting it. We'd also like to remind you that we've maintained a long standing Prayer Wall for Healing - which is always open. Find access to both Prayer Request Bulletin Boards below along with this issue's articles, feature video, audio meditation, and other offerings.
As the autumn equinox approaches (in our part of the world) and we settle back into school and/or work routines, consider treating yourself and a friend to one of our holistic healing e-courses. Our popular "2 for 1 offer" allows you to take the same course you enroll in with a friend – for no added fee.
Breathe,

NEW! Prayer Wall for the Animals
Pets are as much a part of the family as human members. This prayer wall was set-up upon request to serve as a prayer circle for our animal friends. We invite you to post the circumstances of the animal(s) in need of help or healing to the wall.

Prayer Wall for Healing
This prayer wall was set up to serve as a healing prayer circle for those in need. We invite those in need to post their circumstances to the wall. Studies show that people who are prayed for heal faster; and those who pray and practice spirituality are healthier and happier.

The Shaman Way: What the Animals Tell Us
By Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls
|
Each animal has its own nature, its own traits and is a representation of a power such as strength for the lion or speed for the jaguar. By learning about animal strengths or powers, a Shaman apprentice comes to understand why people are attracted to certain favorite animals and repulsed by others. These attractions and repulsions actually become a tool that tells the Shaman what is needed or missing in a person's life. Carol was a woman who no matter how she tried, kept missing the boat; missing out on opportunities that would have brought her the abundance and...

Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper:
Gifting the World with Your Words and Stories and Creating the Time and Energy to Actually DO It
by
SARK
For anyone who knows that a writer lives within them but doesn't know how or where to start; for writers who need new ways to accelerate their process and be re-inspired; for anyone who loves SARK's wise words and art,
Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper
will help start the ink flowing and keep it going.
I think a bunch of you are going to love this one! It's easy, affordable, and AMAZING. It's called the Dream Wizard. In about 3 minutes, I purchased, downloaded and typed in a goal, added a photo to represent that goal and recorded my OWN voice claiming my dream. Now it pops up on my computer screen every 2 hours to remind me of what I am manifesting. It makes me so happy every time it pops up!
Check it out here.

Here's What You're Saying About Our Site and Courses...
About our Pet Loss course!
"Losing my precious dog Cleo has been the worst experience that I have lived through. This series has kept me sane. The thoughts written down are exactly thoughts that I have had. It is uncanny how they zero in on exactly the same ones. The series has helped me cope better than anyone or anything else. I look forward every day to more insight from this course, which is helping me to slowly heal and come to terms with this catastrophic event in my life."
~ ~ Susan Mcallister, Delaware
About our Angel course!
"At the beginning of this course I was in the middle of a rocky road, somehow trying to find myself in the midst of some medical complications. There were days of anxiety awaiting any news from my doctors but thank God I found this website. The times I felt I couldn't sit still anymore my soul was comforted knowing that there is a purpose for all things. This course was placed in my life when I needed it most and it made me realize that along with physical healing must come spiritual healing. These two things come in hand in hand and as much as the physical body needs healing the soul also must heal spiritually." ~ Frances Richardson, RN, Arizona
About our Reiki 2 course!
"When I found Self-Healing Expressions I was inclined to think that the prices would be high like many of the online healing sites out there. What I have come to realize was that the staff and teachers are here to bring a new understanding to all of us. They are not here for the money but to help guide us along a spiritual path. This site is changing my life and as I progress I believe new discoveries about my self will open up. Many Blessings." ~ Michael Stelmach, CT
About our Dreams for Healing Course!
"This has been the first information I've come across regarding dreams that spent time helping me learn to break down my dreams and dream symbols so I can interpret and understand how they directly affect me, my emotions and well being. It has been such a wonderful experience to have a Dream Journal and then have someone 'walk' with me through the dreams so that I can learn from them. It is slowly and positively changing my life." ~ Deb Barber, Canada

This Month's Holistic Prayer |
Native American Pet Prayer
Oh Great Spirit! I give you thanks for creating all of the peoples;
Two legged, four legged, winged and finned.
May I learn the great lessons from each of these . . .
From the Cat, let me learn healing, clarity, and keen vision.
From the Bird, let me learn how to let my spirit soar.
From the Fish, let me learn tenacity and to overcome obstacles.
From the Horse, let me learn strength and freedom.
And from the Dog, let me learn faithfulness, courage, and unconditional love.
May I walk, swim and fly in harmony and balance with all of these. Aho!
~ Victor Fuhrman
