Edgar Cayce the Sleeping Prophet

Most people have at least heard of Edgar Cayce who started his well-known prophesies through hypnosis. He was actually not aware of any of the information he spoke during his trance states. The information ranged from medical remedies to economic and other future predictions. Recently there has been a video made of 7 of his prophesies people think are still to come. Here it is.



Notice that the sourcACes are recorded so that you can read in more detail if you want. There are an unbelievable number of books about and by Edgar Cayce. Amazon.com lists 3,164! for the purposes of this website, I recommend this book: The Edgar Cayce Remedies by William A. McGarey.

A Duchess finds Spiritual Healing in India

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, checked into the Soukya Holistic Health Centre for some R&R ahead of her trip to Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Apparently she and her husband, Prince Charles, stayed in the same 3,500 pounds per night suite during the 2010 Commonwealth Games. It shows how popular and accepted alternative healing practices have become when a duchess finds spiritual healing in India.

 

Although the couple were on an official visit, that trip, like the current one, was paid for by her husband and did not cost taxpayers, aside from the cost of her Scotland Yard security team.
The retreat claims to be a ‘unique facility that helps restore the natural balance of your mind, body and spirit’.
It is set within a 30-acre organic farm and guests follow a strict ovo-vegetarian diet, paying around £140 a day for a range of different treatments.
They include ‘hydrowashes’, reflexology, and a ‘four-hand’ Ayurvedic massage carried out by two female therapists.

Although this is supposedly a secret retreat for her, comments about her last visit in 2010 have been made public such as the fact that she was able to do even the difficult yoga poses easily and that she liked the oil massages best. I wish her well and am grateful my own life is not such an open book. If you would like to know more about this retreat center, here is their website: http://soukya.com/ There is a picture of Camilla on the home page. The word, "soukya" means health and well-being in Sanskrit.

Italian Town of Assisi Provides Spiritual Retreat for Everyone

St. Francis of Assisi was known for his celebration of animals and nature, his efforts to bring peace between Christians and Islamists and his founding of the Franciscan Movement, all of which are still relevant for today's issues. The Medieval town of Assisi was recently host to 550 religious and humanitarian leaders who gathered there on October 4, the Feast Day. However, the town provides a spiritual retreat setting for people of all religions.

Not all pilgrimages to Assisi are Catholic, or even religious in any traditional sense. In recent years, a number of organizations have held retreats here focusing on the sort of eclectic forms of spirituality often categorized under the label of New Age.
“We found the energy in this place to be absolutely amazing in the purity of spiritual vibration,” says the website of the Shared Heart Foundation, based in Santa Cruz County, Calif., which will soon hold its third retreat in Assisi.
Peggy Husch Rothschild, of Newton Centre, Mass., joined a Shared Heart group for a week last October, staying in rented rooms at a convent close by the Basilica of San Francesco.
“In small group discussion and in large group meditation, in song, and sometimes in dance, we opened up to places within ourselves that had been closed, sometimes for many years,” said Rothschild, who is Jewish.

Besides the religious churches with their 13th and 14th century frescoes, there are some excellent restaurants and good hiking. The climate is often mild, especially in the spring and fall. If you would like to know more about St. Francis Assisi, I recommend this DVD: "Francis of Assisi" or this book: St. Francis of Assisi by G. K. Chesterton, very affordable in the Kindle version.

Spiritual and Political Leader, Aung San Suu Kyi Travels to Washington D.C.

As she said in her acceptance speech, her presence in Washington was only a distant dream till recently due to her long years of house arrest in Myamar where she is simply known as “The Lady”. She traveled to Washington to accept the Congressional Gold Metal and to speak to the UN General Assembly in New York. I think once you have viewed this video you will agree she is a very moving speaker.

Spiritual and Political Leader, Aung San Suu Kyi Travels to Washington D.C.

Having visited Burmese refugees on the border of Thailand and worked with activists to free her from house arrest, it’s a great moment to see her not only speaking in public but also being able to travel to other countries and return again to Myamar. Few of us would have been willing to give up our family and happy life in the West for our country as she has. My special thanks to Ken and Visakha Kawasaki, now living in Sri Lanka, for making us all aware of the plight of the people of Myamar. May these people in one of the poorest countries in the world be able to make the long journey still ahead to a democratic and economic prosperity. There are a number of interesting books written about her, but if you wish to read what Suu Kyi herself has written, I recommend this book: Freedom From Fear published in 2010.

Combining Plant Medicine with Western Medicine

Jessie Salisbury, a correspondent for the New York news blog, Cabinet Press, describes his type of healing combining spiritual healing with plant spirit medicine healing. He maintains that he never diagnoses or prescribes cures but instead he promotes balance and inner harmony which will then lead to cures. Here is what he has to say.

Combining Plant Medicine with Western Medicine

Cowan, he said, was an acupuncturist within the Classical Five Element school of practice. “He started using what he knew of the five elements, but instead of using needles, he called on the plant spirits. In this way, he
reintroduced Plant Spirit Medicine to the western world.”
Griffin noted the calming effect of plants while walking in a garden, or in the woods.
“We can have a loving relationship with plants,” he said. “There is peace in a garden. We are in the world with (plants) and they have a lot of wisdom to share.”
About 10 years ago, Cowan and his students began looking for a place to build a center where this practice could be taught. That is now the Blue Deer Center in upstate New York. Cowan’s students are given a rigorous course of training and are then introduced as Lay Spiritual Healers with The Temple of Sacred Fire Healing, which is an officially chartered church.”
The practice was never intended to replace conventional medicine, he said.
“We don’t diagnose or treat diseases. It is to promote balance and inner harmony. It takes into account the whole person, including body, mind and spirit. Most indigenous peoples have a connection with the spirits of nature. In a sense, this is a tradition of traditions, taught in a traditional way.”

It’s a very traditional way of healing brought back to life by people like Jessie. However, the traditions have come from the native and indigenous people of the world. It is time to learn as much as we can from these elders before they all pass over and leave us to figure out the plant connections all over again.

Strange, Unexplained Sights in August 2012

Here’s another video that is controversial about crop circles and unknown lights in the sky. There have been endless comments to this video on YouTube. Do you have one to add? According to this video the crop circles and lights were a daily occurrence in August. Are we getting closer to communicating with them? What do they want us to do? No one is sure they even exist. Anyway, here’s the video; see what you think.

This is part 1. There is a part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYgTlW-4rCc

They seem to be increasing in frequency and the crop circles are getting more complex; definitely a kind of live art. If you like this video please share it with a friend.
