Gabriel

It was the symbol for Gabriel that appeared in my third eye when I received my second Reiki 1 initiation. I had no idea what the symbol was until I saw a video of Rabbi Gershon Winkler. He had four archangel symbols on his drum. I was blown away when I saw again the one that came to my mind. I feel very blessed to have experienced this. Before my initiation I had never seen that symbol before or known that it was linked to Gabriel.


Gabriel ("God is my strength")- An Arch Angel.

One of the two highest ranking angels. He is the angel of mercy, annunciation, resurrection, vengeance, death and revelation. He presides over paradise and is the ruling angel of the first heaven.

This archangel is a primary messenger of God, bringing divine announcements and revelations to humankind, acting as an intermediary between heaven and earth and helping us to interpret our dreams and our visions.

Gabriel grants wishes and hopes to mortals, as well as joy, mercy, understanding of mysteries, truth, justice, miracles and love.

Essene prayer: "Gabriel, Angel of Life, enter my limbs and give strength to my whole body".

Purpose of Meditation

What is the purpose of meditation?

Sitting there in seemingly torturous and utter silence all alone...

It is to bring you back to the ultimate ground zero.

To bring you to that moment before the moment of your "creation" in this material existence.

To allow you to insperience the indwelling presence of the Divine, of YOUR spark of the Divine.

Because it is only in the insperience of that moment are you able to touch true joy, true nirvana, true bliss...heaven.

Then...it is in those moments where you are in complete peace (shalem/shalom) that you are able to truly KNOW.

From there you are able to over come seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Only from there are you able to answer the questions for which you need answers.

The purpose of meditation is to be still and know that I AM.

Go back to the time where you are confronted with a question...even seemingly simple trivia and you KNOW the answer... you know that you know the answer...it is on the tip of your tongue but you can not bring forth the words. Try as you might, strain...groan but nothing comes out.

Only when you let go....you stop striving....you have a moment of mental silence and then...only then does the answer spring forth.

Imagine what you will be able to answer, accomplish if you purposely sat still....be still and know that I AM.

Just imagine....

Insperience I AM

Today was/is a beautifully radiant day. Slow and easy as I enjoyed, with my children, the last official (if not technically speaking) day of summer.

Sat out in the garden on my blanket and beach chair enjoying the fresh grass, bumble bees, fuschia and red zinnias still blooming while reading a good book- Tree of Life Meditation System by Ra Un Nefer Amen.

I then did some much needed dusting in the living room, dabbled with the dishes, the battle of never ending laundry and a pit stop at the local grocery store to stock up on weekly staples. See, each and every day I pack my children's lunch for school as there is no kasher lunch plan besides my homemade is healthier. ;-)

I did enjoy watching a few episodes of MONK and just a half of one of Star Trek:TNG. Gotta love those all day television series marathons.

Dinner was pulled off without a hitch. Some fresh local Romaine and Green Leaf lettuce, chopped beets, zucchini, fresh from my own little farm tomatoes and homemade salad dressing. Okay, I may as well detail the dressing: EV olive oil, hot curry powder, tamari sauce, a pinch of cane sugar, fresh lemon juice and a dash of water.

It was the soup that helped my eldest boy feel his best! For some reason today he was feeling under the weather, perhaps a little to hot in his upper bunk bed during his nap time. But after the Adzuki bean soup that I made with love for him he is feeling a bit better.

I've enjoyed the two chapters that I have read thus far from T.O.L.M. It is from this reading that I have for the first time encountered the word insperience.

How beautiful and so deeply meaningful is this word insperience which is counter to the so much sought after and Webster defined experience.

Can you feel it? Can you insperience it's meaning, it's being.

I find it profound indeed.

This word is a useful term to almost describe what happens deep within ones being. It is indeed the being still and knowing.

Generally we are all seeking to experience. We experience hot or cold. We experience relationships and going.

How oft do we consider what we insperience.

Experience can be defined and quantified, grasped and dissected.

What of insperience?

It is that infinite state of which words can not describe?

It can not be bought, traded, sold or categorized.

It is.

Be still and know that I AM...within which you may begin your insperience...after that...there are no words.

Good Morning- You are what you eat

Good Morning! Not quite 6am here.

And I have yet to turn off my Dr. Thompson sleep cd.

I began using Dr. Jeffery Thompson's Brain Wave music to help me sleep after a hospitalization I had a year and half ago.

I was emotionally drained, on edge and vulnerable that I could not sleep for fear that something would happen to me related to my hospitalization. Not a good place to be in when you are alone, far from family and have children to care for.

The emotional mud slide was building up due to lack of sleep that only after using these sleep cds (He has cds for Creativity, Meditation, etc...as well) was I able to actually go into a sleep at night and began to emotionally heal and physically heal.

Being sleep deprived and emotionally stressed after an illness can leave one very open and vulnerable.

Thankfully I have healed since then and move towards greater and greater strengths. :-)

You can find out more about Dr. Jeffrey Thompson via his website Center for NeuroAcoustic Research.

To this day I continue to be a big fan and highly recommend his music.

Remember I told you about a Physiology exam I was to take? Well I almost aced it.... missed one question out of 48. And I also made an A (missed one) on the short terminology quiz that was given.

I'd like to share with you an article a dear friend of mine sent to me last night. I went and searched the original source and it is linked below.

You are what you eat, so eat well.

Whole Food Signatures

A stupendous insight of civilisations past has now been confirmed by today's investigative, nutritional sciences. They have shown that what was once called "The Doctrine of Signatures" was astoundingly correct.

Referred to in the classical period of Rome as the "Law of Similarities" it is now called by scientists, "Teleological Nutritional Targeting".

It now contends that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to the benefit the food provides the eater.

For instance:

	A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
	A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.
	Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
	A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebelums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuro-transmitters for brain function.
	Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
	Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
	Egg Plant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervicle cancers. And how profound is this? .... it takes exactly 9 months to grow an Avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 phytolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
	Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
	Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
	Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
	Grapefruits, Oranges, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mamary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
	Onions look like body cells. Todays research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial lasyers of the eyes
	Bananas, Cucumber, Zuchini and more target the size and strengh of the male sexual organ. It's true!
	Peanuts have a profound effect on the testicles and sexual libido. Peanuts were banned as a food for males by the church ofin during the middle ages. Most people don't realize that arginine, the main component of Viagra, comes from peanuts.

Spiritual Aromatherapy Course:

Taught by DharmaDevi

Aromatherapy has been considered an incredibly powerful healing tool since ancient times. In Aromatherapy we utilize pure and potent plant essences also known of as Essential Oils.

This course is not just about developing a deeper and greater understanding of essential oils in general but for understanding and gaining a greater appreciation for all of nature, especially plants and trees and the wonderful things they offer to humanity. It is about developing an inner connection with plant life and especially for the essences of the plants, also known as essential oils. You will learn that plants have feelings and communicate in their own special way. You will learn how developing the lines of communication can help you in selecting oils for yourself and others in a much more intimate way than through the strict "science of aromatherapy", which works almost completely with the mental and physical levels. You will also find that there is no shortage of scientific data in this course (for those of us with more analytical minds!).

The Reiki Blessings Academy's Spiritual Aromatherapy Course is unlike most on the market because, not only does it reach the holistic level through the spiritual level first and foremost, you'll also find you are immediately provided with everything you need to get hands-on experience with the most popular essential oils through the Spiritual Aromatherapist Kit: (12) 5/8 dram amber vials of the most popular 100% pure essential oils, 1oz of Sweet Almond Carrier Oil, 1oz of Jojoba Carrier Oil, (3) 5/8 dram empty amber vials, (4) 1/3oz empty amber bottles with drip caps, (2) glass droppers, 1/3oz frosted glass perfume spray bottle.

Tutorship is available for as long as you need it. As a special treat, you will receive a free Distance Aroma-Essence Session from your instructor. This session is sent in a similarly to a distance attunement or chakra clearing but it is totally different as essential oils are used to bless the receiver in a very special way. The session will be scheduled at a convenient time for you upon enrolment in the course.

I am , religiously speaking, a practicing Jew as well as I consider my self to be MetaSpiritual which in my definition means I acknowledge various world spiritual writings to be valid missives from which I can obtain knowledge of religion and spirituality.

I believe in miracles and hands on healing that is spoken of in the Hebrew Scriptures as well as the Christian scriptures and other eastern scriptures throughout the world.

All of these religions practiced some form of energy healing which in modern times has become known by various and numerous monikers such as Reiki, Chios Healing, Prayer, Laying on of Hands and through such schools of thought as Barbara Brennan and Donna Eden to name a scant few.

It is my 1st Amendment right to practice my religion and spirituality according to the dictates of my religious/spiritual beliefs in G-d.

the 1st. Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; etc...."

My choice to become a member of The Universal Light Church is to reaffirm my committment to my religious/spiritual freedom and to stand with my brothers and sisters in faith in our Creator and what blessings of physio/Spiritual healing and methods to obtain that S/He has blessed us with; such as laying on of hands (Reiki,Chios Healing, Energy Healing) and prayers and all other modalities that help to keep us connected to Creator/Source of LIFE.
