“One of my best friends in Florida has a co-worker who owns a huge, over 200 pounds Egyptian tortoise. What fascinates me is that this huge animal just eats two heads of Romaine lettuce a day. How in the world can such a large animal get all the nutrients and protein and vitamins and minerals to sustain over two hundred pounds from two heads of lettuce per day. The only answer I get is that somehow the turtle is able to transform that lettuce into the elements he needs to survive and thrive and if a tortoise can do this why can’t humanity? It makes me really question all the theories, beliefs and views both traditional and alternative health practitioners have about diet and nutrition.”

“There is a common belief in the healing community that a many energetic weaknesses and imbalances are layered in a person’s energetic bodies and fields sort of like the layers of an onion. And a lot of healers feel that you had to remove stuff layer by layer for proper integration and to avoid healing crises. I have been thinking a lot recently about how limiting this mindset is and I now go after the whole onion. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not BUT this approach is much more powerful and effective than going after the layers. A lot is now possible healing wise than was possible just a few years ago. And the new heart-oriented modalities are more powerful and effective than the mind paradigm ones.”

“When I began out my spiritual healing career, I would attend lots of healing workshops that taught me techniques about how I could help and heal others. But as I evolved I found myself doing less and asking the Creator and the angels to do more and the results were amazing. So now I view my role at least as a healer as one of holding a space where healing can occur and acting more as a channel for the Divine to work through. I also server a lot by be3ing an energetic role model for others. It is my intent and hope that I will evolve and grow through every interaction I have with another person and that every one I meet will evolve and grow as well!”

“I feel really strongly that healing is the responsibility of the client not the healer. I can send healing energy all day to someone but if they have not learned what they sought to learn by creating the health challenge then they will usually not be open to being healed. I do cheat a little bit in that I ask the Creator now to send me folks who I can help and who can benefit from what I have to offer rather than depend upon random chance.”

“The Law of Attraction explains why people benefit from spiritual healing. The Law of Attraction is vibration-oriented. As you raise your vibration, you are able to attract more things that you want into your life. Spiritual healing helps people to clear out self sabotage, doubt and fear-oriented mental and emotional programs and patterns. It is often these factors that block our ability to be open to receive our higher good. So as you raise your vibration through clearing and releasing your past and old less-than-love influences, the Law of Attraction sends new things, people, events and circumstances to you that matches your new and higher vibration.”

“One of the popular books years ago was “Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?” A lot of highly evolved beings – especially healers – select challenging and difficult life experiences to learn and grow from. I suffered over ten years of chronic insomnia and sleep deprivation but I emerged from this experience with a lot more compassion than I had before. And like most abundance teachers I have been poor, well off and in-between. But from these life experiences I learned what it was like to be poor and thus I can help empower others to shift from lack and scarcity consciousness to abundance and prosperity consciousness. Every challenge I have experienced has taught me a lot and there has always been a gift from going through the experience. Also I really believe that our souls monitor everything that happens to us and that we are only given challenges that we have the inner resources to be able to overcome it.”

“The reason I choose not to read a newspaper or watch the news on TV, is that usually the “programs” and advertisements focus people’s attention, time, time, energy, awareness and consciousness on things that do not serve their highest good. There are lots of wonderful things going on and miracles occur every day but you will never see that on TV and newspapers which tend to focus on and accentuate the negative rather than positive aspects of life. TV and newspapers and magazines and the antics of the stock market reflect and suck people into the vortices of the emotional roller coaster world of mass and duality consciousness. If you want to live like the masses of humanity – then spend a third of your precious, spare time watching television like the average American does.”

“Studies have shown that people who watch the news are less likely to have a positive mental attitude than folks who do not. And a good attitude helps propel people into mastery more than almost anything else. If you expect the best, you are much more likely to experience it. People who expect the worst usually attract those experiences as well. Mastery often boils down to making good choices.”

“Most Americans, Canadians and Europeans believe that it takes time to heal and so it does.  Whereas people who grow up in more “primitive” cultures like Australian Aborigines do not believe it takes time to heal so they heal much faster. When you think about it a miracle is something that appears to be unreal. But truly very very very very very very little of what we feel to be real – really is real so miracles in many ways are often more natural than many things we feel are real.”
