This is a re-post of a popular message from the animals themselves, which has been giving many people around the globe comfort and peace, especially in times when making a decision to help an animal peacefully die... This message was published in the online version of the Sedona Magazine, and is included in the newly published book "The Animals' Messenger

A Miracle Delivered: by precious dog. Last night I prayed for a miracle. A miracle for humanity, for our planet, and also for my own mind - to be healed, so that I may wake up in the morning  reminded and re-membered with why was I put here on earth, how might I be of service, and what my role is in the bigger

“Loves Heals” stated boldly the black and white sticker someone placed on the back of a “no parking” sign.  It was small yet not too shy in broadcasting this universal truth to passerby. I smiled as I pondered the message. What is it about love that heals? I thought to myself, is Love a healer on its own or does it require a transmitter, a conduit, a

It occurred to me today that when we come to a place in our life where there seems to be nothing left to do but toss our hands in the air and surrender (that “letting go” thing), we are forced to fall into the valley of the big unknown and utter Trust. It is there in the depth of that valley that God meets us and lovingly, patiently, gently, takes our hand

Here's what i was taught today on a 2.5 hour bus ride to Whistler (inspired by the amazing work of Dr Master Sha): All of us travelled many life times with the same soul within different bodies (see http://www.brianweiss.com/  for more info on past life and psychiatry). We were all once hurt, betrayed, injured and abandoned. We also hurt others, were unkind, injured or harmed another soul. Thus

The other day on the bus I could not help but lock my eyes on a beautiful Black Lab dog that was guiding his blind human. The grace, determination, and patience with which he sat by his person was profound! In his quiet way, the dog would lovingly glance at his human's face once in a while, likely to check in, while his human would smile at him and pet his head with gratitude. It was an honour to

About three months ago I was given an opportunity to exercise my wish to be of services. While caring for a dear friend who was struck with a sudden yet temporary incapacitating condition called “Bell's Palsy,” I was provided with a brilliant insight that has changed my perspective on healing ever since. Since it came about “out of the Blue” (or perhaps “out of the oblivious”), both Melanie and

I recently learned that in the ways of the Heavens, Saturdays are days of releasing, and Sundays are days of receiving. Releasing on Saturdays: What are you willing to let go of? On that special day of the week we have extra helpers around us awaiting our directions. All week long our physical senses get overloaded with images, sounds, scents, moods, and sensations that we pick up on from

“Change is always good for you"- I recently heard a spiritual speaker says just as i was going through a major change in my relationship, my work, and home life. My ego-mind felt like interrupting by protesting rebelliously: "No, change sucks!" Yet something deeper and wiser within me resonated with this truth...Change indeed is always good for us, as it implies growth on a spiritual-soul level

Asking for and Receiving Guidance:On a peaceful Saturday in April I sat in the sun by the river, watching the glittering rays bless the cleansing flow of water. I closed my eyes for a moment and took in the warmth and serenity of the space around me. I watched an Eagle sitting patiently on a tree top, gracefully trusting that the next meal will be provided.

Many people seem to be going through "something" lately. Be it feeling fatigued, confused, or searching; going through a major life transition, and cleansing old ways of being. Many are nervously embracing their heart's true desire and saying YES to their life's sacred mission - the one which they were born to fulfill in this given incarnation.It may be the “economy” or the "weather," or the

“We suffer greatly when we are trapped in certain conditions that disallow our freedom. Sometimes complex treatments which aim to prolong our physical life confuse and frustrate us. Listen to us when we say that we do not wish to be confined within our own bodies if our independence and autonomy have diminished. Freedom of movement is our basic desire.

"We are all One” Barak Obama proposed in acceptance of his new role as a leader of the modern world.

I went for a walk in a nearby part earlier, taking in the crisp January air. I was watching a beautiful Golden Retriever puppy jumping up and down by his very preoccupied human, who did not seem to notice his dog's attempt at communication.

A messenger from God?Recently I had an experience of meeting a person who introduced himself to me as an "Exorcist of the Dark Forces" and a messenger from the "Real God." He shared that "God wants me to know that He is not just a Loving God but also a Justice / Corrective God, and that the way I chose to live my life wasn’t accepted by Him"...This sparked me to question the essence of what is

Congratulations to mother nature and our beloved planet: today marks a day of shift in consciousness and old paradigms.
