Surrender Into Awakening – Change is the Catalyst

awakening, surrender, law of attractionHow many times have I thought:  this isn’t the way I planned for this happen?  More times than I can count.  How many times did I resist an event or situation because it wasn’t  going the way I wanted it to go?  More times than I can calculate.  Call it a confession if you will, but the truth is I am a rebel when it comes to change:  I only like the changes I like, and the rest I refuse and refute as adamantly as a toddler balks at soggy spinach.

Of course, that doesn’t stop change.  Change happens.  Like the movement of water,  always flowing to fill space, change is irrepressible.  It may be possible to hold change at bay for awhile, but the pressure will build until the dam bursts and change breaks through… to evoke new, a different configurations to explore.

That’s what change is.  It doesn’t care if it’s what we expect or if it’s what we desire. Continue reading “Surrender Into Awakening – Change is the Catalyst”

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.

Three Visits to John of God – A Pictoral Documentation

John of God, Abadiania, Casa Dom Ignacio, spiritual healingIn 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.

Shamanism – Another Word for Creative Process?

shaman, awakening, shamanism, creativityShamans intrigue me.  Even as a child, if a book’s description mentioned a shaman or shamanism, that was enough to get me to read it.  The words used to describe the practice of shamanism include mystical and magical and wisdom and invocation.  All words to which I gravitate.  As I grew older – and my studies and research into shamanism more developed – I studied the philosophies of different cultures that venerate shamans and, whenever I could, found current-age shamans with whom to study and practice.  I engaged the shamanic principles and learned the art of traveling between the seen and unseen worlds – a fundamental in the art of shamanism.  I explored the experience of communicating in unseen worlds and transforming my consciousness through it.  And still, I wonder:  Is Shamanism a mystical, mysterious allegory or a technique for accessing the Creative process of the Divine?

Impatient to Awaken?

spiritual awakening, propheciesThese days, the prophecies scroll through my inbox and Facebook wall: dates for “downloads” of a new frequency, days to gather for special focus to bring the “new order” closer, leaders of the movement offering “new” information on what’s to come…Does anyone besides me ever think, “Let’s just ready, get set, go!”  Or am I the only one who feels impatient?

Impatience has been my traveling companion through Life for as long as I can remember.  Sometimes an obstacle in my process and sometimes the trainer that pushes me to get it done, impatience is always my teacher.  Teaching me the way around or over the obstacle.  Teaching me how to create new solutions that work more effectively.  Teaching me when my best solution is to let go and let be.

I first read the Hopi Prophecies in the early 1980’s…and then the Mayan prophecies in the early 1990’s.  2013 seems like “forever away” back in those days.  Continue reading “Impatient to Awaken?”

40 Days Done – John of God

John of God, Medium Joao, Casa Dom IgnacioAccording 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.

John of God, Medium Joao, spiritual healingBut, 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

John of God, spiritual healing, diabetesWhen 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.

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”
