the 12 steps and the enneagram
When I crashed, my safety net became a 12 step group. It has taken some years, but I now see the deep spirituality of their advocated practices on many different levels. As I began piecing myself back together, the Enneagram has been a great tool for me to use to delve into the good and not-so-helpful inner parts of my make up.

Influence of Rabbi Rumi
I was so glad that I was able to go to a weekend with Rabbi Rumi this Fall! I was touched by his rerferences to the spiritual aspect of God's daughter, Wisdom. I was also deeply touched by the thought of Jesus as a little Jewish boy, praying the beautiful Hebrew prayers.When the weekend was almost over I was overwhelmed by the concept that God is in us...in our DNA. He is part of us and we of Him.

Invitation to sharing
I believe we are all role models for each other--ugliness in thoughts or gossip--

Doing a Solitary Retreat
There is a detailed and gentle guide to doing a day-long retreat in the book,"Aging As A Spiritual Practice" by Lewis Richmond. I did the necessary preparation and did the retreat a few months ago --
at the end of the day, I was filled with a sense of gratitude for the richness and beauty of my life as is is right now.

Learning about Tarot
I've been studying the Tarot for many years and have, for the past several years, been working as a Tarot Advisor. I find it is an excellent tool for helping myself and others along their life path and in their spiritual growth. I have a good friend who was able to change her life within the period of a year based on a reading that guided her on how to do it. Literally, changed her life, and because it was meant to be, everything fell into place to support her dream. She sold her house, her car, won a scholarship and moved to another country - all because of a one card reading. Granted, this is exceptional, but it happened because she was ready for the change. Ready for that next step. I encourage anyone who is seeking for answers, guidance, growth, assistance, comfort or even personal insight into a troubling situation, to read about the Tarot. You're welcome to contact me with any questions, or for a reading. I can be reached at
www.seascaping.weebly.com at any time, and I'm happy to take the time to answer any questions you might have about Tarot and guide you to the right resources. It's not witchcraft or magic. It's simple guidance...from the universe or your higher power, however you like to think of it.
Again, www.seascaping.weebly.com
Namaste,

Theta Healing is it Right for You?
ThetaHealing™ is one of the most profound, versatile, effective, and life-changing forms of healing that I’ve ever encountered! In basic terms, it consists of the practitioner going into a particular meditative state (Theta) and channeling healing energy to the client.

ThetaHealing is often described as an attainable life-altering miracle. It is a method of supercharged meditation and prayer that teaches you how to utilize the fundamental creative life energy of the universe to change limiting conscious and subconscious beliefs, to read what is going on inside the human body, to perform physical and emotional healings, to download teachings about anything, and to manifest anything you wish in your life. It is an incredibly powerful, easy to learn, and versatile modality—the Swiss army knife of all healing methods.

What is ThetaHealing?

ThetaHealing is a holistic healing technique which directly addresses your subconscious mind to fix the "bugs in your software", therefore allowing miraculous instant healings and profound life changes. Whether you seek to transform your health, your finances, your relationships or your spirituality, ThetaHealing is a surprisingly fast and easy way to make permanent, lasting, and effective changes in your life.

How does it work?

ThetaHealing is a unique and revolutionary spiritual healing therapy which works on all levels of consciousness in an immediate and miraculous way. ThetaHealing occurs by accessing the theta brainwave state, which is the state you are in just before you fall asleep. When you are in this state, powerful mind / body healing can occur at a cellular level.

While in this state, one is able to identify and clear underlying limiting beliefs which have been programmed into your DNA, cells, subconscious mind and history of a client. Once these beliefs have been cleared, powerful new beliefs and feelings are taught on every belief level (soul, genetic, core and history) through every cell of one's body. With ThetaHealing's miraculous changes occur at the deepest level when one is open and ready to heal.

All stresses that you feel, whether they be physical, mental or emotional, are directly related to underlying negative beliefs, so re-programming these beliefs results in absolute freedom, health, abundance and self-empowerment.

The true power of ThetaHealing is undeniable!

Doing something part of recovery
I am a kidney transplant recipient, left foot amputee with a prosthesis and have a heart issue.
Through all this I focused on my own spirituality and beliefs, often praying for direction instead of 'healing.' Since 2002 I continued the work in Africa my wife Germaine and I began 20 plus years ago.
I was able to go to Dakar Senegal in 2007 and to Maputo Mozambique December 2008.
We work under the banner named "Fishing without Poles? My wife and I have grown spiritually beyond what I can put into words being ever mindful that we seek to do what people themselves seek to do, not what we think or believe is best for them. By keeping focused on 'doing' I have gained renewed purpose, strength and better help and share this with you all.
We seek to provide advice, encouragement and targeted resources to those we are in with who are 'fishing' for a better life.

Congratulations on Your Intention


Consistency in practice is really important -- and difficult, in my own experience. Just wanted you to know that we have witnessed your resolve. Congratulations and good luck.

Mary Ann and Frederic Brussat
