Merryn’s Musings John Of God At The Omega Institute October 1-4th, 2007 The whole session took no longer than twenty minutes. Right at the end of the ritual John of God positioned himself in a way that we could all hear him clearly. In his rich powerful voice, vibrating with the energies of the Entities he addressed us in his native tongue announcing that “the healing has taken place.” As he uttered the words I felt an enormous amount of heat emanating from my heart center and my hand seemed like it was glued to my blouse. It was quite an extraordinary feeling. Talking with my husband later he said he had a similar experience.

Sahar’s Spiritual Lifecoaching Can Marriage Extend Your Spiritual Journey and Keep You Healthy? “Whether you are attending or planning a wedding, it is important to remember that a marriage is one of the important spiritual acts you might be participating in, as you tread the path of spiritual development.

It is not just a party that needs planning–it is a marriage that you are preparing for.” “
Wellbeing & Healing Positive Energy: How To Build Your Vitality In An Overwhelming World By Judith Orloff, M.D.
I know first hand how important it is for us to cherish our precious energy so we don’t compromise our capacity for passion. I now believe that the most profound transformations can only take place only on an energetic level. I’ve met many patients who’ve spent much time and money on talk therapy hoping that intellectual insights will bring emotional freedom, but they’re disappointed. As much as I love the linear mind, my approach, which I call “Energy Psychiatry,” goes further to also facilitate a conscious rebuilding of a subtle energies, the most basic life force in each of us.
