The Ten Lessons of Healing (Paperback)

This is a true story of a part of my own spiritual journey. I am a channel. I didn't know it until I was in my thirties. As a child I often wondered how I could carry on conversations as I did in my head and suddenly feel comforted by these thoughts, suddenly have answers to my questions or to know things I had never been taught. Yet I thought it must be the same for everyone. I remember when I was eight or nine asking my Mother if she saw pictures of people in her mind even with her eyes open? She told me no and asked me if I knew the people? I said no, but I tried to memorize the pictures and watched for them. I never saw them. It wasn't until I consciously began walking upon my spiritual path that I learned the photographs I would see are of people who have died. The conversations were with my Guide. For the most part this communication disappeared when I went to college. In my twenties, I partied, played sports, studied, worked and socialized, but rarely spent time alone or looking within. In my early thirties, my life seemed to have turned upside down. I was unhappy and miserable with everything in my life. My life changed dramatically as a long term relationship ended. I felt completely lost and alone. I was Vice President of a manufacturing company and nearly lost my job as I became depressed and disinterested in life. I couldn't sleep and one morning before dawn I found myself at the beach. I was crying and praying for help. Suddenly in my despair, I was stunned to hear a captivating, man's voice speaking to me. I looked around and there was no one else on the beach near me. He talked to me about my life and how it would change for the better. He spoke of how there would always be a guide to help me. He told me this is my "awakening." I had sought help from a counselor for my depression and now I felt I needed more help because I was "hearing" things. It was much "louder" than when I was a child and so apparent that it wasn't me. Like many this is when I learned about a spiritual path and I began to learn about myself and so much more. I was getting help and being taught by the counselor and those in spirit. I recovered from my loss and different guides continued to teach me. It was more than ten years later and while on a walk one morning I heard I will be told, "The Ten Lessons of Healing" Siddhartha was my guide at the time. He provided one lesson per week and during the week I was instructed to see where examples of this lesson appeared in my life. Each lesson was part of the metaphor of building a house and how we can create or transform a house into home. Years later my guide, Michael spent a month reviewing each lesson with me. The lessons appear to be very simple, but making them a part of who I am is what takes diligence. I believe the ten lessons are meant to be a way of life. I have written about my experience in hearing and learning the lessons. The lessons have changed my life in every way, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. When things do go awry in my life, I can easily identify which lesson needs my attention and when I live by the lessons, I am so much happier. I have my own small manufacturing company now. I work, spend time with my family and friends. Until now I have never been comfortable making this part of my life public. But I know this is the time to share the lessons. The Ten Lessons of Healing are an amazingly simple blueprint to a happier life. While the book itself is a short read, I suggest you spend at least a week on one lesson before proceeding to the next and then start again.
