Tips to Enhance the John of God Experience

John of God, Casa Dom Ignacio, spiritual healing, diabetes
Meditation garden at the Casa

We are well into Saturday afternoon here in Abadiania, Brazil, and enjoying the quiet laughter and inspiring music at Frutti’s.  Many have left town for parts unknown, and those of us gathered are relaxing into the meandering weekend rhythm.  Freshly juiced carrots with ginger and guacamole for my lunch–supporting the healing currents of the Casa de Dom Inacio on all levels 😉

Of course, we began our day at the Casa to make prayers for ourselves and friends. Then, we meditated while partaking of the crystal beds.  Even though John of God has a few days now to rest and rejuvenate in his personal surroundings, the entities are still very much present on the Casa de Dom Inacio grounds.  The current is strong, and the vibration of healing and transformation potent amidst the vibrant nature of the garden.

Friday in Frutti’s–John of God

John of God, Abadiania, Casa Dom Ignacio, spiritual healingI went before John of God this morning, request in hand.  Trusting the entities to still be working with the requests I made for my physical health on Wednesday (and the resulting spiritual surgery), today I made a different type of request:

Please infuse my personality with Love’s light and my Soul’s purpose.

Again, the Casa volunteers invited anyone who was assigned the second time or revision line to join the spiritual surgery group if they desired.  Again, I chose to wait and go before the entity.  Understanding more fully this morning how the entities are using the front waiting and meeting hall to begin their “work, ” I was intentionally silent and maintained a meditative state until my line was called.  I felt the entity’s touch in my being, confirming the connection had begun and movement through the current rooms was even more uplifting and palpably vibratory as a result.

Day Two, A Blessing Shared–John of God

soul awakening, spiritual consciousnessI underwent my first spiritual surgery of this  trip yesterday afternoon.  One would think (Well, at least I would) that I could expect a certain pattern to the spiritual surgeries after ten of them.  It wasn’t a surprise when the Casa volunteer invited people from the 2nd time line to volunteer for a spiritual surgery.  Certainly, we’ve seen that happen a few times before this.  Alan and I considered and decided that, since it was our first day back to see John of God after a year’s absence, we wanted to go before Medium Joao and the entity to received a more specific direction.  What was unusual for me was that–right after we opted to wait–I felt the presence of an entity touch my mind.

“What does that feel like?” you may wonder.  It feels like love.  Conscious and aware and gentle like a soft breeze.  Some say they can tell which entity is which and know who is engaging them.  Not me.  I don’t mind, though.  Love is love is love, right?

I felt the touch, and I heard, “Would you like my support?  I can help you.”

“Yes!” My response was immediate and whole-hearted.

And then it began.  In retrospect, my spiritual surgery experience started right there and then in the front hall/meeting room. Continue reading “Day Two, A Blessing Shared–John of God”

HERE! — John of God

John of God, meditation, spiritual healing We did it again–this time a full-on 24 journey through time and space and many emotional places in between to arrive at Casa de Dom Inacio.  We knew a lot had happened in our lives during the past year; we didn’t realize that life in Brazil was evolving as well.  The Brasilia airport is undergoing a huge expansion.  New billboards and shops and gas stations have sprouted all along the highway to Abadiania–not to mention the new Premium Outlet Mall with its own McDonalds 😛  There are many infra-structure projects, and I can say with certainty now that the dirt in central Brazil is red.  More activity in all the small towns along the highway as well with freshly painted storefronts and people walking along the sidewalks.

But all that is just the backdrop, of course. Continue reading “HERE! — John of God”

Transforming Loss–John of God

awakening, surrender, law of attractionThere is a commonly held belief among those who participate with John of God at Casa de Dom Inacio that the entities begin working with a person as soon as they make a commitment (like purchasing airfare) to experience the healing currents of the Casa.  Mostly, the reference is about the emergence of physical symptoms that might indicate a healing release.  In May of 2012, I experienced this phenomenon to the extreme when I was in the horse-riding accident two weeks before my scheduled visit (see: Abadiania, Here I Come)  Surely, that experience transformed my life and opened me into a whole new level of experience when I arrived in Abadiania.

I am sitting in the airport in transit to Abadiania right now, reflecting on the month’s events that prepare me for this visit.  I thought I’d covered this reflection in my previous post: Abadiania On the Horizon, but I was mistaken. Continue reading “Transforming Loss–John of God”

Abadiania on the Horizon – John of God

John of God, spiritual awakening
10 spiritual surgeries in two years–an exploration into the John of God experience

It’s been a year since our last pilgrimage to Abadiania, Brazil, to visit Medium Joao and the entities…and a very full year at that!  We moved across the United States, from central Florida to an island just off the Washington State coast.  My second book, Consumed by the Dragon–Recipes for Transformation, was published.  My beloved four-legged friend and companion through many lifetimes, Baby, passed through veil between life and death.

All of these events are part and parcel of Life.  Many would say they are, in metaphoric terms, the grist that keeps the mill of Life turning.  For me, though, they are significant outcomes for the personal transformation set in motion by my experiences in Abadiania with John of God.  For me, each of these events tracks back to a specific request made to the entities during our visits.  Continue reading “Abadiania on the Horizon – John of God”

The Awakening Mystery – What’s Going On?

awakening, evolutionThe end came and went… a few times I think… the “big” one, though, was almost three months ago.  The new beginning?  How can we tell when it started?

Almost a season has turned.  I observe social media and read the blogs and watch the video clips sharing the variety of perceptions of what happened/is happening.  Some people expected or hoped for a transformation on December 22nd, 2012 that would rock the socks off of current norms and cultures, evoking a mass awakening of spiritual consciousness.  Some felt deflated when it seemed as though nothing really changed.  Some foretold of a transition that would take time and impact our lives in unique and unexpected ways.  Some called it just another New Age or religious hoax.

For me, it has been an internal experience. Continue reading “The Awakening Mystery – What’s Going On?”

John of God Trip 5 – Final Day

law of attraction, visualization, creative power, memoryIt is mid afternoon, and we have Frutti’s all to ourselves.  The music is serene.  The chai is tasty, and the activity on the street outside is quiet as the occasional person strolls by in the lazy, summer heat.  Soon, a parade of people in white will flow from the Casa — another week complete — and Frutti’s will fill with social activity, people sharing their experiences and stories.  It is everything about Abadiania that I love.

For now, though, it is me with the quiet to reflect upon our experience this trip.

Alan had another spontaneous healing (of course; >)  A chronic shoulder issue since a mountain bike riding accident about a decade ago – healed.  Better than ever.  He has a reputation to live up to, he reminded me…  a man who “does the work.”

For me, this time with John of God and the entities is profound. Continue reading “John of God Trip 5 – Final Day”

John of God Trip 5 – Second Spiritual Surgery

Spiritual awakening, John of GodI arrived to the meeting room at the Casa with my questions for John of God in hand, quiet in my mind and prepared to relax into the Casa flow until my line was called.  The first Casa day in 2013.  The first surprise came when the Casa volunteer called for people scheduled for spiritual surgery…  and no one came.

Then there was a long wait — for about an hour — before another line was called.  The people continued to meditate in the current rooms, and one of the volunteers continued to give his inspirational talk.  Just no lines called… Continue reading “John of God Trip 5 – Second Spiritual Surgery”

John of God Trip 5 – Days 4 and 5

ArrivingAbadiania 026Hotel San Raphael seems to be the social hotspot during the holiday season…  when Frutti’s is closed.  Last night, there was a wedding party for the group that did their ceremony at the Casa Dom Inacio Thursday morning.  We had live music in the courtyard and lots joyful sounds.  Every meal, in fact, is raucous with laughter, and people come from all over town to eat at the only open “restaurant” available.

I’m not exactly sure how all these fun times fit into the idea of spiritual comtemplation, but nobody seems to concerned about it. Continue reading “John of God Trip 5 – Days 4 and 5”
