My partner, Alan, had another instanteous healing! You may recall that, during our last visit, he had an experience during meditation in the current room that felt to him like a spasming at the base of his neck and resulted in the re-alignment of a “vertebral bump” that he’d had since childhood. (By the way, it’s still aligned six months later.) Here’s what happened this time… Continue reading “Abadiania Adventure, June 2012…day 2 – John of God”
Abadiania Adventure, June 2012 – John of God
Here we are! In Frutti’s, sipping our spicy chai lattes and congratulating ourselves on having arrived. I confess – it seemed at times (from my prone position on the lazyboy) an unreachable goal. From the horse-riding accident that precipitated the postponement of the first schedule to the “forever” time it takes fractures and herniated discs to heal, I just wasn’t sure how I was going to manage the long day of travel… not to mention the day of preparation and packing. But we did 😀 And, from the moment we touched ground in Brazilia, I felt a calm, peaceful sense of rightness that we’d made the effort. As we rode through the Brazilian countryside, I floated on the sights and sounds and smells – familar now – and counted the blessings that got me to South America.
That’s not to say I wasn’t sore. I was. Not as sore as I was right after the accident, I’m happy to say. Just sore enough to be grateful for the wheelchairs in the airport… Picture me gliding through airport terminals, wind in my hair and waving to all the walkers ; >) Continue reading “Abadiania Adventure, June 2012 – John of God”
Abadiania, Here I Come – John of God
Two weeks ago, I planned to be in flight to Abadiania, Brazil today to immerse myself in the healing currents of Casa Dom Ignacio and Medium Joao (better known as John of God here in the US; >) Two weeks ago, I was making packing lists, reflecting with gratitude upon the vast well-being I’ve already received from my visits to Abadiania, and meditating upon what is next for me on this adventure of awakening into All I Am with the help of the Entities. I was finishing up my last set of herbs from the previous spiritual surgeries in December, 2011, and observing the shifts of consciousness in both my body and mind as I prepared. That was two weeks ago. Continue reading “Abadiania, Here I Come – John of God”
Three Visits to John of God – A Pictoral Documentation
In 2011, I visited John of God at Casa Dom Ignacio in Abadiania, Brazil three times – for 1 week in February, 12 days in June, and 12 Days in December. Overall, I participated in the Current room, experienced the Crystal Beds and Sacred Waterfall in addition to the 5 spiritual surgeries I received. All of these visits have blog and vlog entries on this site (see the John of God category in the column to the right). I thought it would be interesting, though — in preparation for my next visit in June, 2012 — to put a few pictures up from these previous visits to document the visible changes. What can I say? My idea of a good time; >)
So, let’s begin with February, 2011. I went for one week. It was a spur of the moment trip made primarily to support a friend who was healing from a cancer surgery. I didn’t really know much about Medium Joao or Casa Dom Ignacio — just that I was willing to experience and benefit from whatever happened.

Coutd It Be The Solar Flares? – Awakening
Something is happening within my Being. Soft and subtle – almost imperceptible – like the unfurling of a bud into a new Spring leaf. Something is unfurling within me.
Like a whispering breeze, I didn’t notice at first, the shifts happening in my perceptions. My day, filled with projects and items to check off the list, proceeded as usual. I almost missed it. Until I chanced to rest from the activity for a moment and feel… the gentle caress of a softening within. An easing of mind chatter and an absence of the “push” to achieve. An abiding sense of Grace. Continue reading “Coutd It Be The Solar Flares? – Awakening”
40 Days Done – John of God
According to the protocols at Casa Dom Ignacio, today marks the end of the 40 day post-spiritual surgery phase. Now, it is time to take stock and assess my John of God experience.
The first question I asked myself: Have I ever witnessed anyone having a “miraculous” physical healing experience in Abadiania? (I pondered this question because, for me, the process has proven incremental and more like the peeling away of layers than anything that could be considered instantaneous). I asked myself this question, expecting the answer to be no. But I surprised myself – I did witness one on this last trip in December. My partner, Alan, was prescribed the energetically charged herbs the one time he went before Medium Joao at the beginning of our experience. He spent the rest of his Casa days meditating in the Current room – no spiritual surgery for him at all. After the first day of meditation, he mentioned that he felt a lot of pain in his neck through the experience. He pointed to where the pain had been and I immediately noted that a bump (fairly large) he’d had in his spinal column at the base of his neck for as long as I’d known him – and probably since he’d had spinal meningitis as a young child – was gone. His spine was totally smooth and aligned… and has been that way since.
I think that qualifies as an instantaneous (aka miraculous) result.
But, like I said, for me it’s been different. Perhaps because in the almost 59 years I’ve been blessed with this body, I’ve adventured mightily and let Life take its toll – Hepatitus C found me while I was a street-kid, type 1 Diabetes in the aftermath of a high speed head-on automobile accident, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis came on the heels of a diabetic coma, two fractured vertebrae in a horse riding accident, and the multiple physical complications from all of the above just to mention the highlights. Some might say I’ve managed to stay alive this long on will and spiritual intervention (see: When I Died – A Story of Awakening).
And, as they say at Casa Dom Ignacio, the physical conditions are the “low hanging fruits”. The emotional traumas of childhood and an adolescence lived on the streets left their markers as well. Continue reading “40 Days Done – John of God”
Reflections Into a New Paradigm – John of God
When I returned home from my first visit to the Casa Dom Ignacio in February, 2011, I wrote about my expanded understanding of what a “spiritual surgery” is (see John of God – The Process Continues). When I returned from the second adventure in June, 2011, I described more the personality process of integration for myself and people for whom I made prayer requests (see John of God Update) Now, I am back from the third pilgrimage in 10 months – and the most intensive immersion in the healing, spiritual energies yet – and ready to reflect again.
To recap: When we arrived, I still had two sacred waterfall visits from those prescribed in June to complete, and I had an intention to go as deeply into the healing energies of the Entities as possible. This translated into standing before Medium Joao in a trance state as often as the protocol allowed and following the directions given me. As it turned out, every time I stood before the Entity present through Medium Joao, I was directed to a spiritual surgery. In the course of twelve days – and two rounds of Casa Dom Ignacio activities – I received three spiritual surgeries. Continue reading “Reflections Into a New Paradigm – John of God”
Three Spiritual Surgeries, day 10 – John of God
That was early Wednesday morning, and now it is Thursday evening. I am just out from 24 hour post spiritual surgery sequestration. Three is the most I’ve done in one trip so far. I wanted to go as deep as the Entities would take me, and they took me at my word. Continue reading “Three Spiritual Surgeries, day 10 – John of God”
Sacred Waterfall, Day 8 – John of God
We did it! We made it to the Sacred Waterfall today, and as soon as my feet touched the path down to waters, I felt the energy. And it was SO welcoming! It was like coming “home” to the place where all that exists is verdant green love. If there weren’t a sign at the beginning of the path that asked for silence, I would have burst into song:) Continue reading “Sacred Waterfall, Day 8 – John of God”
Post Spiritual Surgery 2, day 6 – John of God
To recap: I got out of sequester for the first spiritual surgery on Thursday evening and went back into visit John of God and the Entity du jour on Friday morning. The Entity didn’t even wait to hear my requests. He looked me in the eye and said “Operation.” I understood it clearly – even in Portuguese. Continue reading “Post Spiritual Surgery 2, day 6 – John of God”
