Diabetes – An Expert Teacher

Diabetes, Diabetes expert, diabetes lifestyle, law of attractionA friend told me recently that I am a model Diabetic.  We were traveling together, and – as she watched me testing my blood sugar and injecting insulin before every meal; as she observed me carefully selecting foods and reading ingredient labels to maintain a sugar free diet – she noted that I was the exception to her experience with others in her life who lived with Diabetes.

I thought about that.

It was 28 years ago that I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and told I would forever require insulin injections, would forever live with the range of complications that high blood sugar creates, and would forever have to be ‘on a diet’…  until I died – probably from one of the Diabetic complications.  In the next breath, the doctor told me I would get used to the changes in my life, and it would come to be as easy as brushing my teeth.  I wasn’t all that great at oral hygiene then, and his metaphor was lost on me.  To me, it was a pretty big deal.

John of God – Final Thoughts

Love where the rabbit-hole takes me

I flew back to western civilization a little over a week ago.  When friends asked me how it went, the first comment consistently out of my mouth was, “I spent a week without TV; without reading; without driving anywhere to do anything, and I was never once bored.

I can’t say for certain why – what it was about simple lifestyle and reflective focus that took me through a rabbit-hole into timeless Being.  I can say the experience left me wanting more of the same.

Immanuel and the Casa staff emphasized ‘the process’. Continue reading “John of God – Final Thoughts”

John of God – Post Psychic Surgery

John of God, Prayer, diabetes, health, medical intuitiveWhen I first heard of the protocol to spend 24 hours in restful seclusion after the psychic surgery, I didn’t believe it possible.  I thought, “OK, I’ll stay in my room..  but what I do in there will be my own business.”  So I thought.

It wasn’t that I felt tired after the psychic surgery; it was more that resting in a prone position just seemed like a really good idea when I returned to the Pousada.  I lay on the bed and closed my eyes…  and immediately was transported into a trance-like state.  Continue reading “John of God – Post Psychic Surgery”

John of God – Psychic Surgery Experience

John of God, psychic surgery, diabetesI came, dressed all in white, and joined the hundreds of people for the afternoon session.  We were led in prayer; each of us speaking our language of choice, creating a hum of voices.  Then a lovely woman sang “What a Beautiful World” in English to the group.  I was excited and eager, but I was also calm and content to follow whatever pattern was set by the Casa staff for me.

John of God – Afternoon of the First Day in the Casa

I scheduled the three Crystal Baths around the afternoon session so that I could sit in the Current Room during my friends’ surgeries.  I did two back to back before, and I came into the Current Room feeling refreshed, relaxed, and eager to experience.  I’d read many articles on the internet and watched video clips on Google that talked about the Current Room and how powerful it can be in its own right; that not only did the group focus create an energetic support system for the psychic surgeries, but that the Entities also worked with people during meditation there…  Like I said, I was eager!

John of God – First Morning in the Casa Process

John of God, psychic surgery, meditation, diabetes, hepatitus C, spine injurySo, I made my Prayer Lists…  I made several; discovering how good it felt to free-associate both my desires and the acknowledgement of patterns in my choices that impacted the fruition of them.  I placed all of my Prayers for help in the fulfillment of my desires and the release of contradicting patterns into the Prayer Basket.  Immanuel assured me that the Entities are integrating everything in the Prayer Basket with the questions we bring directly to the Entity present through John of God.  I believed him.  From those lists, I clarified these three concrete questions oriented towards physical concerns: Continue reading “John of God – First Morning in the Casa Process”

John of God – Meeting Our Guide

John of God, healing, health and wellbeing, AbadianiaWhen we decided to make the trek to Brazil and visit John of God’s Casa, I considered the possibility of using a guide.  But not for very long.  Having led meditation groups around the world, I felt downright confident in my ability to navigate the process.  My friend felt differently, though, and she set us up with Immanuel (www.meetjohnofgod.com) who lives in Abadiania.

We met for dinner on our first day.  First, he described his story – how he came to John of God six years ago suffering from a seizure disorder that doctors prescribed anti-pyschotic drugs to treat. Continue reading “John of God – Meeting Our Guide”

John of God, Here I Come

John of God, vortex of attraction, law of attraction, healing, diabetesIt’s only recently that I come to know of John of God; a friend saw him on Oprah and invited me to come with her to experience the healing vibe at his Casa in Brazil.  I googled him..  and watched a dozen videos.

Fascinating!  I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around the ‘physical’ surgeries, but – in theory – the nonphysical interventions all made sense to me.  Having no experience in this medium (pun intended; >), I was drawn to the adventure of it all.  I was willing to experience my own small miracle in however it showed up.  I accepted the invitation.

I read more articles on the Internet and became even more fascinated.  I took the steps of securing visas and flights and a place to stay; each step increasing my commitment.  Each step a declaration of both intention and hope.

I pondered what I would bring to the table for John of God and the Entities to clarify and restore to Well-being.  If you have read any of the articles from the Ahnalira’s Story category in this Blog, you know the options were endless – better to stay general and allow for an open-ended possibility than be specific and limit options.  So, here it is.  For the first time, expressed in writing as a request and an intention: Continue reading “John of God, Here I Come”

Faith in the Future – Optimism in Politics

politics, optimism, faith, law of attractionWhat a gift the future is! Indeed, it’s the present wrapped in tantalizing papers and bows awaiting the perfect moment of ‘presentation’.

The future beckons. We are like the flowers unfurling in the NOW of this moment while we ever turn towards the sun. The future is like the sun, attracting us towards it with the promise of nourishing light.

And, still, there is the paradox. There is always some amount of faith required to enjoy the promises of the future. The flower must continue to evolve through the night, trusting the warmth of the sun to reappear.
