JUNE 2009
Editor's Blog...
With the Fourth of July just over the
horizon, and because my wife, Melissa, and I just returned from
"holiday" in England (our first time off the continent), I'm
re-posting a previous Independence Day story from 2007 that has received
more comments from readers than any story I've ever written. Whether you
are reading it for the first time or enjoying it again, it's an honest and
true story about the dysfunction of letting our heads get in the way of
our hearts. ~ Bob Olson
The Secret To Buying The Perfect Gift
Our friends,
Michael and Cheryl, recently invited Melissa and me to attend a
Fourth of July barbecue on a boat. This wasn’t just any boat.
Michael’s parents had chartered a 157-foot yacht with 4 floors
and a crew of ten people. This was all very exciting, of course,
as Melissa and I had never been on a yacht of any length. And
since we had only met Michael’s parents briefly in the past, we
looked forward to being able to spend some time with them.

Love
by Swami Dhyan Giten
Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the
quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, with our
authentic self, with the meditative quality within, with the inner silence
and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is
expressed on the outside as love. This love is not addressed to a specific
person; it is a presence and quality that surrounds a person like a
fragrance.
The human heart is a healer, which heals both other people and ourselves.
The open heart is like a fountain, which no longer make any distinction between: "I
like you - I do not like you”. The open heart does not make any
difference between friends and enemies. The open heart is open both for
ourselves and for other people. The open heart is unconditional love.

Heal Our
Oceans On The Summer Solstice (June 20-21)
by Ann Drake, Psy.D
Last
summer I went on a whale watch on which we were visited by many incredible
whales. The marine biologist poignantly spoke of the rapid rise of toxins
in the ocean and the threat to marine life as a result. She painfully told
of a beached whale in the Puget Sound that was so full of toxins that the
whale had to be buried in a toxic waste dump. This tale re-enforced the
need to not only work politically but also in spirit to reverse this
trend.
Masaru Emoto, a brilliant scientist from Japan documented that
positive thoughts and emotions can alter the structure of water producing
a beautiful crystalline structure; whereas negative thoughts and emotions
produce sludge. It is our hope that our love for the ocean and all of the
creatures within can alter and heal the destructive elements within the
sea.
A
circle of women healers who meet in Gloucester, Massachusetts, the oldest
seaport in America, are proposing that as many men and women as possible line the
coasts on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific on the Summer Solstice to
drum, journey and pray for the transmutation of the toxins in the oceans
and in the marine life that inhabits the ocean. Gloucester,
along with other fishing communities, are severely impacted by the toxins
in the oceans that threaten both the quantity and quality of the fishing
stock, and the life, culture, and livelihood of thousands of fishermen and
their families.

The “Heat-Seeking” Secret of Cancer and Chronic Disease Prevention that No One’s Told You About — Until Now…
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Revolutionary and Safe Diagnostic Tool Detects Hidden Inflammation
You might not realize that cancer is now the disease most likely to lead to your death. It passed heart disease as the #1 killer a number of years ago. And if you are a woman, breast cancer is the type of cancer you are most likely to get. There are many approaches you can take to prevent breast cancer (or any cancer), including the dietary changes and lifestyle modifications I recommend on my site. However, if you already have breast cancer — even in the early hidden stages — you need a radically different strategy, since the cancer could kill you before your dietary and other changes take effect. Let me say this about mammograms: you may think they are the ideal screening tool to give you a warning stage before the cancer becomes far more difficult to treat. Unfortunately…

Most of us believe that we will finally
feel satisfied and content with our lives when we get the good news we
have been waiting for, find a healthy relationship, or achieve one of our
personal goals. However, this rarely happens. Good fortune is often
followed by negative emotions that overtake us and result in destructive
behaviors. "I don't deserve this," "this is too good to be
true," or any number of harmful thought patterns prevent us from
experiencing the joy and satisfaction we have earned. Sound familiar? This
is what New York Times bestselling author Gay Hendricks calls the
Upper Limit Problem, a negative emotional reaction that occurs when
anything positive enters our lives. The Upper Limit Problem not only
prevents happiness, but it actually stops us from achieving our goals. It
is the ultimate life roadblock.
In The Big Leap, Hendricks reveals a
simple yet comprehensive program for overcoming this barrier to happiness
and fulfillment, presented in a way that engages both the mind and heart.
Working closely with more than one thousand extraordinary achievers in
business and the arts—from rock stars to Fortune 500 executives—whose
stories are featured in these pages, the book describes the four hidden
fears that are at the root of the Upper Limit Problem.
The Big Leap delivers a proven
method for first identifying which of these four fears prevents us from
reaching our personal upper limit, and then breaking through that
limitation to achieve what Hendricks refers to as our Zone of Genius.
Hendricks provides a clear path for achieving our true potential and
attaining not only financial success but also success in love and life.

Grace
Cards
by Cheryl Richardson
App. created by Ocean House Media &
Hay House
Price: $3.99
(iTunes)
|
We at OfSpirit.com have featured Grace Cards
before; but if you are an iPhone or iPod Touch user, check this out!
I admit that I'm an iPhone fanatic,
so it's not surprising that I like Cheryl Richardson's Grace Cards
iPhone application (aka app) even more than the card deck itself.
For one, I always have it with me. Two, it's just plain fun. I can
ask the Universe a question, touch my iPhone screen and the Grace
Cards app will shuffle the deck and randomly choose a card for me.
How is it that the exact card and message that I need to read gets
chosen every time?
Or I can scroll through the cards,
one by one, and choose the Grace
Card that I'm drawn to at that moment. I then tap the card twice
to read the message on the back. How cool is that? And it all
comes with some really funky sounds that you just can't get from
the paper deck alone. If you love the Grace Card deck and you love
your iPhone, it's the perfect match.

"Love isn't blind; it just only sees what matters."
~ William Curry
"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide
upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There
are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your
critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an
end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Be
grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent as a guide from beyond."
~ Rumi

to the Aura": FREE Online Class instructed by Psychic Medium
Joanne Gerber |

8:00 PM to 10:00 PM EST. So, what is an "Aura"? The
knowledge that humans are surrounded by an aura dates back

the Hindus, Buddhists, Greeks and Romans, and these beliefs
continue right up to the present day. The Aura is an energy field
that emanates from every living being. It is our life force. Some
of us can see it or sense it. Tonight, Joanne will offer a FREE
two hour introductory class, filled with information to help you
understand the aura. Log on begins at 7:30 PM EST. Be sure to log
on early, as the "cyberspace seating" for this event is
limited, and it is anticipated that this event will be filling up
fast. Come and prepare yourself for a very rewarding experience!

vibration from that which harms to that which heals. Please join us

ocean toxins. Locally, we will gather at Good
