3 The Little Child Shall Lead Them It is written in the words of old prophecies that children will lead humanity out of darkness into the Great Light of a new age. It is time. It has begun. This is real. If you are a child, or young person, or an adult with a child-like heart who longs for a better world, you can be part of a growing awakening to the wonder of this Universe and the beauty of Life as Love. Everyone is born with the power to heal. We are perfectly designed for it. The Spirit of Life can move through our bodies and hands to bring both healing and happiness. It is so simple anyone can do it. That means you can too. This book gives you practical steps to opening pathways for the Spirit to flow freely through you. To have the gift to heal is an incredibly meaningful skill. It brings so much happiness into the world. You can do it if you want. The way is open. Humanity has been living in patterns of selfishness, fear and greed for centuries, causing untold suffering. There is a higher law we have been blinded to because many people are afraid of the radical changes it will bring: it is the Great Law of Love that creates miracles, brings harmony and heals us. It is the way Life joyfully flows to make us playful and free.

4 LOVE IS THE PATH TO WHAT IS REAL It is through this Love that we find a Reality the best religious and fantasy stories have always pointed to and the pathway to a happy new time for the world where miracles are normal and humanity is free. Each one of us is a spiritual being in a human body. Once we realize this and experience the Light of Life inside us we discover a flow of power and awakening beauty that we once only dreamed could be true. This awakening comes through the simplest of all things, a child-like trust that the highest reality of this Universe is a free and beautiful Love and a willingness to be open in our hearts to what is real.

5 LOVE FREES US As we open our hearts we discover this Beautiful Power can free us from negative feelings to be truly happy. You can learn to let this power flow through you to give happiness to others too. And in this way, your happiness grows. THE HIGHEST REALITY What I am saying is not just wishful thinking. This is about a Love that comes right out of the Universe: through the stars, and sky, through the mountains and trees, pouring into you and through your heart and hands out to others. It is the same healing power that flowed through Jesus and other holy Beings.

6 Children are afraid of the dark, but adults are afraid of the Light. (Plato) SOMETHING MORE YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THIS You can prove this power of Love to yourself. By practicing the simple steps in this book you can release your God-given powers to bless and heal. You can experience the reality of the power of Love through your opening heart, flowing to open other s hearts, flowing to restore harmony and health to bodies and minds. Millions of young people just like you have shown their desire for something more than the world is offering. Millions have felt a deep instinct for magical beauty and spiritual empowerment through their love of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and other great books and films. Now is the time for this desire to move beyond fantasy. You have been prepared for this. Just because you are young and playful and longing for a beautiful world makes you ready.

7 BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG THE BEST GAME OF ALL Hundreds of years from now mankind will look back upon this time with wonder and bless the children who had the vision and courage to help humanity see the way out of darkness into the Light of all that is real just by being themselves, just by playing the best game of all. The Great Love is with you. It has been prophesied, and now is the time for it to be. You can be one of many young people all over the world who show the way. It is those the world thinks are powerless who shall be used to birth a great newness. The Wisdom Who created all things knows what He is doing. Because your heart is young and adventuresome you too can walk on the path of Light

8 These words express a pure purpose that brings us into harmony with the nature of Love. To hold Love s pure purpose is the key. It is as we harmonize with Love s purpose that everything opens up. THE GREAT CHALLENGE THE GREAT KEY There is a key that opens up the mystery of the Universe by opening you. It is not hidden over the mountains or in the deep sea. But it does take magical words to find. These words can only be spoken by a honest heart. I m not going to make you wonder what they are, because they are needed now, at the beginning of your journey. They go something like this: Love for the sake of Love. Love for the sake of happiness and peace. Love for the sake of a beautiful world. LOVE OPENS US Our challenge is to hold the purpose of Love honestly in our hearts. It is a challenge because most of us have wounded feelings of insecurity and neediness that cries out, I don t care about others, what about me? These wounds in our hearts would lock us up in human selfishness that goes on causing more hurt, unhappiness and blame. But all is not lost for Love can heal us and gently place the key of freedom back into our hands.

9 START WHERE YOU ARE To give ourselves completely to Love is to give ourselves to Love s gifts and ways and allow it to work in us. Don t ever, ever wait until you feel worthy. It just doesn t come that way. Start right where you are, just as you are, even if you feel deep insecurities, anger, hatred, fear or any other negative thing just say yes to Love and it will begin its magical work in you. Remember the Key: Love for the sake of more Love in the world. I will live for this THE TREE PILLARS To become fully open and free there are three things we need to learn, and this world is the perfect place to learn them: 1. The nature of Love. 2. The power of Forgiveness. 3. The freedom of Grace.

10 Let s look carefully at these three pillars of truth, one at a time. THE NATURE OF LOVE Love is so much more than a feeling. Love is the lifegiving power that attracts and holds things together, from molecules to galaxies without end. And of course, it attracts us to each other too, holding us together in mutual care and happiness. LOVE IS LIFE! Love is so close to us. In fact, we live in Love like fish live in the sea. Love is Existence Itself. It is the Pure Light of Life you see shining your own eyes. It is Love that opens our hearts and reveals how truly beautiful it is to be alive.

11 LOVE HEALS Love is healing, flowing to harmonize sick minds and bodies with its own radiant health. Love is the highest and purest vibrational frequency. In the presence of Pure Love negative turns positive and sickness melts away. LOVE IS FREE Love is spontaneous and free: forever flowing to express its own nature. You cannot regulate Love or ever force it. It can be called upon for help, enjoyed and celebrated, but never selfishly owned.

12 LOVE PURIFIES And Love is a purifier. It straightens us out inside and makes us clear and true. It frees us from selfishness and addiction which always creates mysery and inspires us to bring more happiness into the world. LOVE IS KIND Love is kind and gentle, tender and good. Love listens carefully and always seeks to understand. It is generous and quick to share what it has. Love always believes in the very best for others and makes us thankful for everything.

13 LOVE AND HONESTY And Love is completly honest. It is the power of lies that divide and blind us and open honesty that unites and makes us free. Freedom can never be guarded by lies, but always by the truthfulness Love inspires. LOVE RULES The Universe points to Love in countless ways. Stars point to infinity. The sun shows Love as it pours out light without wavering. Trees express Love in their sweet fruit and all the oxygen they give for us to breathe.

14 ANIMALS Animals express many qualities of Love: from the playfulness of otters to the power of a lion or bear or the patience of elephants. Birds express Love s freedom; cat s Love s sensitive awareness; dogs Love s loyalty and affection. LOVE IS FUN Love is joyous, playful and full of laughter. Love is celebrative, happy and free. Whenever we really, really like something we say, I love that.

15 LOVE REVEALS WONDERS Love fills us with wonder. It reveals the hidden beauty of the world and opens our hearts to realms beyond the powers of science or sense to discern. For Love is the master frequency in which flows all wisdom and knowledge of what is ultimately real. LOVE IS CREATIVE But that s not all: Love is super creative. It awakens our delight in color and sound, form and movement. It gives us our dramatic sense of good battling evil and makes us root for good to win. It makes everything beautiful.

16 LOVE IS FOREVER And when our life here is done, Love even conquers death, just as Christ showed. It s Light leads us into higher realms of existence. LOVE IS THE BEST Love is the highest goal of life. It gives us better ways of understanding our experience, better hopes and dreams, and inspires us to accomplish things for the good of all. Living Love is the very best life possible. MIND BLOWING BEAUTY Many people who have near death experiences say they entered Love to the billionth power, that in their spiritual bodies they could fly everywhere, and that the entire Universe shines with the Light and beauty of Love. Love really does give us Life without end in mindblowing beauty and freedom.

17 THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS Forgive and you shall be forgiven. Jesus Forgiveness means to release whatever holds you back. It means let the negative stuff go. LOVE THE GREAT LOVE Love the Great Love, and Love will grow within you. Allow the Spirit of Love to mold you into your truest nature, and it will guide you on the pathway of your own endless adventure in Light.

18 FORGIVENESS TRANSFORMS US Forgiveness stops the cycles of pain and payback and more pain that goes around and around forever. FORGIVING YOURSELF To forgive yourself is to stop punishing yourself for being negative and less than you wish to be. To become free you need kindness, not criticism. Love forgives in order to free both the one who forgives and the one forgiven to learn their lessons and grow to become the wise people they are meant to be. To become happy you need mercy, not self-hatred. To allow your heart to shine you need tenderness, not blame.

19 FORGIVENESS OF CHILDHOOD PAIN Forgiveness is a choice you make as you recognize how past hurts affect you especially hurts from childhood. Once you are clear who caused the pain then you are free to drop it, to stop blaming yourself or others and demand no paybacks, but to allow Love to turn wounds into wisdom and lift your life into its higher purpose. FORGIVENESS IS FAIR Forgiveness allows everyone to learn and grow and return to Love and happiness.

20 THE FREEDOM OF GRACE Grace is a free, unearnable gift of newness, acceptance and wide-open welcoming. It is God s own nature that is infinitely generous, kind and free. Let forgiveness free you to live your most fulfilling life and do your part to bring more happiness into the world. Release others and you will be released. Release yourself and you will be free. Grace is like the sun that pours out light and warmth just because it is the sun. Acceptance, forgiveness, and mercy are freely poured out to us just because that is the nature of the Limitless Love at the heart of all existence.

21 SORRY, YOU CAN T EARN GRACE It is utterly impossible to earn Grace: you cannot deserve it by being good, rich or powerful. It levels the playing field. Those with tenderly open hearts to accept the Gift make the most progress in Love. GRACE IS FREEDOM THAT FREES US It is Love without conditions. Just allow grace. That means don t hinder it. Don t twist it into something with limits you impose. Let it be freely given. Our simple receptivity brings us into the nature of grace and makes us gracious. GRACE MAKES US HAPPY Grace lifts us back to into Love when we ve been off the track. The natural response to grace is gratitude. It is the same as when you receive any gift you value. You will know your heart has accepted grace when you start overflowing with gratitude. And did you know that gratitude is the same thing as happiness? A truly happy person is full of thankfulness for everything. Grace creates a thankful, happy heart.

22 SUPERSTITIONS Liberating truth is rooted in Love. Superstition is the opposite: it is a fear-based belief that leads to little rituals that attempt to free you from your fears. Beware of superstitions and all forms of fear. Love and fear are exactly the opposite. Fully ripened Love casts out all fear there is no fear in Love. Saint John TABOOS A Taboo is a fear-based restriction that can cause people to repress the natural development of Life within them. To repress something out of fear creates negative energy, which is then reacted against in more fear. And so it goes around and around in a vicious circle: fear, repression, negative results, more fear Remember this, if you repress a Life-energy it becomes negative, but whatever you guide and express in Love becomes healthy and free. MORALITY: THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF IT Moral rules are meant to reflect the nature of Love. For example, Love will never lead you to steal something from another because Love is for everyone s happiness. So the moral law against stealing is obviously good and true. But if it s only an outer rule it doesn t cause our hearts to care about everyone s happiness so much that we wouldn t want to hurt people by stealing.

23 RULES ARE NOT ENOUGH An outer rule isn t enough. In fact, moral rules without Love at work in our hearts may cause a fearful repression of natural Lifeenergies. Whenever this happens many people react against moral rules and seek fulfillment by going against them. LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY THAT WORKS Love is the only way out of the all traps that work to separate us from the miracle of Life and each other. Love is forever free and makes us free, and its creative nature fulfills our lives in happiness. They want to explore experiences outside the limits. But, if they do this contrary to the ways of Love their loveless ways bring them down and cause much pain to others. All through history, societies have crumbled when the majority of people turn to lawlessly reacting against moral laws. Happiness can t come this way, for selfishness always creates unhappiness. Love inspires us to be free of fear and to explore Life in ways that make us grow healthy and whole. Love alone inspires us to honor others and help them to be happy until everyone is helping everyone else and happiness fills the world.

24 CLEAR SIGHTEDNESS Instead of outward rules, we can be guided by Love s nature in us and the mental clarity it brings. The more we are filled with Love, the more it becomes crystal clear that Love is the only answer. As we outgrow selfishness our ability to sense what comes from fear, greed or trickery gets clearer. To be a free person is to stand for open honesty and the ways of Love in every part of Life. To bless is to give Love freely to another through your heart and hands. Blessing inspires forgiveness and pours out Grace. Blessing is freely given just to make us free.

25 BLESSING IS THE WORK OF GOD To bless is the work of God and honors God. It connects us to the higher realms of the Universe. It makes angels real. To be blessed is to be empowered when you are weak, to be healed when you are sick, to be encouraged when you are lonely and afraid. Love and Blessing are revolutionary because they go directly against the selfishness and deceit that keeps the world locked up in misery. Blessing is the gift of happiness and peace streaming out of God s own nature. Only a Love filled and blessed people can at last create human happiness on earth, for the ultimate expression of happiness is God s blessing flowing through everyone.

26 THE SPIRIT IS BLESSING The Spirit of God is blessing. Like water it cleanses. Like fire it warms our hearts. And the Spirit can also heal our bodies. It is pure Love. It is Light. You can experince the Spirit. Everyone can. It is our rightful home and connects us to our truest self. RESONANCE It is very important to know that we don t bless or heal. All the good that happens is because the Spirit and body can work together through resonance. Resonance like one guitar string vibrating when another one near it is plucked. The Spirit is pure health and when it gently hums in the human body and the body matches its pure vibration, healing happens. The whole body, from molecules to cells, from organs to bones, can shift. Thousands of people all over the world are being healed this way. It is good news that we don t have to try hard to do in our own strength what the Spirit can do effortlessly.

27 OUR PART What we do is allow the Spirit to flow through our bodies and express its pure Presence in the person being blessed. We are like a hose that delivers life-giving water to the garden. We let the Spirit run through us and God does the rest. KEEP THINGS CLEAR It is very important to remember we do not bless or heal with our own energy so we don t try hard which only creates tension. Relax. If you think the power is yours it will only blind you to the beauty of the gift and what is really happening. It is Divine Love at work. We receive the gift that is higher than us and pass it on. Keep it that way and Love will freely pass through you. It is that simple.

28 OPENING PATHWAYS These exercises will open pathways in you for the Spirit to flow. We will use our attention to open up these pathways. You will know what I mean when you experience it. You will get the most from each exercise if you pay attention to these important things. 1. Have a Clear Intention: this is all about Love. Don t switch from Love s purposes to getting on a trip about power or becoming selfish. Always let Love have its way. 2. Relax: tension hinders the flow of Spiritual energy. Practice having a relaxed mind, relaxed body, and relaxed hands. (Be especially sure to keep your hands loose. Tight hands are a sign that you are trying instead of relaxing in trust.) 4. Body Awareness: energy follows awareness. This is a law of Life. Have you ever felt the tremendous energy that is generated when many people look at you at once? You will experience this reality as you practice. Through moving your awareness through your body you are opening a pathway for the Spirit to flow. 5. Breath: breath has always been connected with Spirit in ancient teachings all over the world. By using breath it helps you relax and move your awareness in a flowing way. EXERCISE #1: Opening your heart and hands This is a very simple exercise to get things moving. 1. Sit or lay comfortably, or stand with your legs about shoulder width and relax. Get relaxed. Here is a good way: count 7 and relax your face completely; count 6 and relax the back of your neck; count 5 and relax shoulders, arms and hands; count 4 and relax upper back; count 3 and relax lower back; count 2 and relax your legs and feet, and with 1 relax the front of your body. Do this until you feel really loose. 2. Ask God, the Great Love, the Source of all things to flow the Pure Spirit through you in Love. Don t beg, simple ask. The sun is always shinning, the Spirit is always being given. Asking honors the Giver and focuses you as the receiver of what is freely poured out for us all.

29 3. Now put your hands in front of your heart, as if you where holding a ball about 6 inches (15 centimeters) across. Breathe in slowly and naturally. As you do feel the breath moving deeply into your chest. Then pretend that the open feeling of breath moves down your arms to your hands, opening a hollow pathway. 4. As you exhale pretend that your breath is pouring out your hands and gathering into a ball of energy between your hands and your heart. Feel your hands as pure energy, which is what they really are on a quantum level. This is important. Then feel for a sense of energy presence between your hands as you breathe into it. You may feel nothing at first, but keep at it and you will. 5. Inhale again and imagine this ball of energy moving into your chest with the breath, then out through your arms back to your hands. Breathe out and pour the breath out of your hands again into the energy ball. Circulate like this for 20 to 30 times. (The number of times are just to give you a focus and rhythm. Concentrate more on the sensation than the exact numbers.)

30 EXERCISE #2: Opening heart, hands and top of head 1. Put your hands over the top of your head, as if you were holding a basketball above you. 2. Draw breath deeply and smoothly into your heart area, feeling an open, spacious sense of sky in you, and let it continue right up your arms to your hands. 3. Breathe out slowly and feel as if your breath was pouring out your hands into this ball on the top of your head. Again, sense your arms and hands as pure energy and feel the energy grow stronger on the top of your head. In through your heart; out through your hands. Do this about 15 to 20 times.

31 EXERCISE #3 Opening your body and hands. 1. Put your hands in front of your stomach, as if you were holding a ball. Keep your hands relaxed! 2. As you slowly draw in breath imagine that you are breathing in the tip top of your head, and down your arms into your hands. 3. As you breathe out imagine your breath pouring out your arms and hands into the ball in front of your stomach. Feel your arms, hands and the ball as pure energy. Repeat about 30 times. EXERCISE #4: Body Cycle 1. Put your hands in front of your stomach, once again, as if you were holding a small ball. Keep your hands relaxed! 2. As you slowly draw in breath pretend the breath is moving from your stomach up the center of your body to the area over the top of your head. 3. As you breathe out let the breath spill down from there through your head and arms and out of your hands into the ball of energy over your stomach. Circulate freely about 30 times.

32 EXERCISE #5 Increasing the Flow 1. Put your hands in front of your stomach, once again, as if you were holding a small ball. Keep your hands relaxed! 2. As you draw in breath slowly lift both hands up the front of your body until at the end of your inhale your hands are over your head, holding the imaginary ball. As you do this feel the energy of your hands moving up the front of your body in a constant flow. 3. Imagine your exhale passing through your arms and hands into the ball at the top of your head. Feel the energy of your arms and hands and at the top of your head. 4. As you inhale draw your hands down the front of your body to your stomach. Once again, feel for the energy presence of your hands passing over your body. Sense the energy flowing down from the top of your head to your stomach. 5. Imagine your exhale going through your arms and hands into the ball in front of your stomach. Feel for this ball of energy with both your hands and stomach. Circulate freely up and down, stomach to top, top to stomach for 20 to 30 times.

33 SUMMARY These simple exercises will open up pathways through your body for the Spirit to flow in healing power. The free circulation of breath and attention and life-energy moving through you is very healthy and energizing. Many people have been healed of sickness just by doing exercises like these. You will know as these pathways open up. It becomes very obvious. And this isn t even the best part. It is when the tenderness of Love floods through your body to bless and heal that the really good stuff happens. SOME ADVICE FINISHING Put your hands over your heart and give thanks for the blessing. Thankfulness is a natural recognition that something really special is going on. Also, thankfulness makes you happy. If you start to feel lightheaded doing an exercise this is normal. Just draw the energy down through your body with your hands and pretend it is running out your feet into the earth. That will ground you and you will feel balanced and fully alive.

34 EXERCISE #6 Now it gets even better. Love flows powerfully through an open heart to bless others. I suggest you share this book with someone you love and trust. That way you can practice together. Make a game of it. Keep it fun. It s an adventure. After you have done the first exercises together and your sensitivity is growing then try these. 1. Get relaxd, then sit or stand facing each other. 2. Choose which one of you will give and which one receive. If you are the giver face your hands towards your partner s heart. If you are the receiver open up your hands as if you were holding a large ball in front of your heart.

35 3. Now the giver slowly breathes out of their heart, up their arms and imagines a flow of Love moving through their hands into the other s heart. At the same time the receiver is slowly breathing in, drinking in the flow of life from the giver. 4. Now receiver, turn your hands towards your friend s heart and breathe the flow out your arms and hands to your partner who has turned their hands as if to hold the ball and is drawing breath and the blessing into their heart. 5. Practice getting in tune with each other, until one breathes in as the other breathes out in perfect harmony. Circulate the breathe of Life to each other in a circle of Love.

36 EXERCISE #7 Adding imagination Imagination is our God given ability to create. It is very powerful. As you practice blessing each other you can also add imagination. As you breathe out imagine white Light streaming out of your hands into your partner s heart. Then as you breathe in imagine white Light streaming out of their hands into your heart. Picture this as brightly as you can. You can also imagine pink Light, as pink is the spiritual color of Pure Love. See if you don t feel incredibly good and full of Love.

37 FINISHING As with the other exercises, when you are done, put your hands over your hearts and give thanks for the flow of Life, healing and blessing. Besides being such a good thing to do this sense of thankfulness will protect you from getting off the path of Love into egoism and power for power s sake which will not lead to good ends.

38 Gather some people and have a blessing circle. This is even better! You will find things just keep growing more and more beautiful. It makes it easy if everyone who comes has been practicing these exercises, but this is not essential. In fact a blessing circle is a really good way to introduce new people to what you are doing. Just ask if they are open to experiencing spiritual Love and would like to be filled with happiness. If they see your happiness, most people will answer yes. Gather around the one to be blessed with the palms of your hands either facing them or put lightly on them. Do a breathing, moving attention exercise, whichever one seems best to you, but concentrating on flowing the Love right to them. It is powerful if everyone in the circle breathes in and out in rhythm as you all bless the one in the middle, but this isn t essential. Be free. Try different ways.

39 SPEAKING BLESSING Ask the one in the center if they have a specific request. It may be to heal a relationship, overcome a fear, or for spiritual protection, etc. Once the flow is moving say whatever comes to your heart about what they have requested. Then wish for them all the happiness you would want someone wishing for you. Speaking blessing is very powerful. Bless them with all the positive energy created by the movement of the Spirit through you and your Love inspired faith. If you are in the middle, open your hands and heart and simply allow yourself to be blessed and loved. Drink it in with thankfulness. Thankfulness IS receptivity. Know that this blessing is doing powerful things on spiritual and energetic levels which will affect your physical body, mind and life.

40 Let the healing flow pass through you and God and their body will do the rest. Remember what I said about resonance? The blessing flow creates a high, healing vibration in them and their body can match it. As this happens bones can shift; sore muscles relax; headaches melt away. Even diseases can heal. There are no limits. HEALING: The natural progression Blessing flows into healing and healing into blessing. It is a natural relationship. Please understand: EVERYONE CAN HEAL. That means you. It is wired into us. We are designed for it. One day, everyone in the world will be naturally healing themselves and those around them as the Spirit flows through them. It doesn t matter how old you are. You can let healing happen through you. This is fantastic. What a gift! It is not up to you what happens. Don t be anxious about it or take it personally. Just let it flow as a gift of Love and see what happens. The worst thing that can happen is healing doesn t take place right then. But if Love is your intention, blessing will: and blessing is great! That can make a way for healing later on.

41 ASK QUESTIONS If someone needs healing ask them very specifically what is wrong and exactly where the pain is. It is important to be able to zero right in on it. RATING IT Ask them to rate the pain between 0 for no pain to 10 for as bad as they can imagine. This will give you a sense of how things change. LET IT FLOW Once you know where the problem is and what the number is, relax your hands and body, breathe and move your attention through your body and hands right into the area of pain. Movement is the important thing. This is why you have been practicing it. The Spirit will flow through your body and hands and create a healing presence in that area.

42 IMAGINATION If it is an area they don t want touched then just face your hands towards them. Breathe and imagine Light streaming through you into the area of pain, making it very bright with white Light, like the sun. The brighter the better! Blend your moving energy, healing words and imagination together for a triple decked whammy any time you want. A HEALING SPACE If possible, surround the area with your hands. For example, if it is a stomach pain put your hands over their stomach and back and let the Spirit flow into this area between your two hands creating a healing space. Imagine the healing flow uniting right at the point of pain. Here you see surrounding a hurt arm.

43 OTHER HAND POSITIONS Besides your open palm, you can focus blessing through one pointed finger, or through putting your thumb, index and middle finger together and pointing it right into the area to be healed. This works great for small, hard to get areas. FOLLOW THE PAIN Ask the person being healed what is going on. If the pain moves (which it can do), follow it. The person may say, now the pain has moved up into my side, then put your hands there. Continue following the pain and flowing the Spirit into the areas where it is until it stops and melts away. When it comes to healing, if possible, don t let the clock rule you. Go with the flow.

44 FINISHING Continue until they say the number is 0 or you feel the flow stops. Their body may say, that s enough for now and stop receiving it even though the number is not 0 yet. Or the flow may grow strong, then weaker, then strong again, so don t give up too quickly. But also, don t force it. Talk to each other and trust the greater wisdom at work. Experience will teach you. Healing can take more than one hour or session, but can also happen very quickly, with just a touch. You never know. It s an adventure. REMEMBER You focus on the flow and them and the Spirit will create a very high frequency in their body. Their body may vibrate with it and efforlessly heal itself. Just let it flow. Sometimes healing doesn t happen because the sickness is connected to painful emotions they are not ready to face. Love knows best. They may need to take it in steps. Love will make them feel safe, so just let the Love flow. A lot more than physical healing will happen every time. Results will grow as you do. You will grow as you keep at it. Don t give up. Let it develop by practice, just as you would develop skills in any sport.

45 STANDING IN FOR OTHERS You are not limited to receiving blessing or healing only for yourself. You can stand in for someone else. Tell the people who are blessing you want to be blessed for someone who isn t there. Explain their need. Then open and receive the blessing, imagining that you are them. The blessing will flow to them through you. BEYOND TIME OR SPACE Blessing functions on a level of Divine Light. In this Light there is no time nor space. You can stand in for someone on the other side of the world and it will flow to them directly at the same instant you are receiving it. What an incredible reality! Try it. That s the way to find out if it works.

46 ANIMALS You can bless animals in the same way. Put your hands as close as you can to the area you feel is hurting, have the intention of Love, breathe and pay attention to your sense of energy movement. PLANTS Bless your house or garden plants too. Speak words of tenderness and thankfulness to them, and create a super charged ball of blessing around them. If they are restless, of course you can t force it. But you can always bless them when they are sleepy or asleep. Many animals have been healed this way. Many people have experienced that plants grow very healthy and large this way. (Of course, don t forget to feed and water them too.)

47 I know, I know, I m saying it again. Make it a habit to finish with Gratitude! The reason I m reminding you is because the flow of blessing will stop when you start taking it for granted. Gratitude helps you stay awake to how valuable and important this flow of blessing is. When you are done, put your hands over your heart and thank the Great Love. Thank the angels. Thank each other. Thank your own soul for being open to Love. Thank the birds in the trees and the sun in the sky. Thankfulness keeps you on the path. HUGS Hugs are also a great way to end a blessing session. Let the Spirit flow from heart to heart. Be very quiet and just feel it. This can be a huge healing all by itself because we all need to be touched and held in the arms of a Love that only seeks to bless.

48 Many people relate strongly to ceremonies. A ceremony is like a little play, acting out a spiritual reality. You can create little ceremonies that celebrate oneness, healing, beauty, thankfulness, forgiveness and Love. Use existing ones from religion, or make up ones that are meaningful to you. Here are some ideas: 1. Wash each other s feet like Jesus did. It creates a strong sense of family based on care for each other and can powerfully free people from selfconsciousness and feelings of superiority. 2. Wash each other s hands: this also creates a strong sense of being connected to each other in Love. You ll be surprised how well this works. You could do this before or at the finish of a blessing circle. 3. Feed each other some food: another strong enactment of the giving and receiving nature of Love. 4. Use a doll to represent yourself as a child, and bless the little child who is still alive in the center of you with forgiveness and acceptance. (If you cry a lot, that s ok.

50 BLESSING ADULTS It is great to honor the life-experience in adults. Be open to them and you will learn many things. They have probably seen a lot in their years on the earth and human experience is never outdated God is spontaneous Love. You can t organize or imitate Love. Be aware that many adults think it is our job to organize the free flow of God. Once the focus shifts from the action of Love to building organizations subtle changes start happening. Control and positions of influence and power become more important than Love, creativity and freedom. Once that happens, it won t be long before a new orgaization has taken the place of the reality of Love you were experiencing. And then Love will start to be interpreted as being exclusive and conditional. Suddenly those who think and talk just like you will be in, and those who don t will be out, and your open exploration, play, creativity and joyous discovery will just become a beautiful memory. This isn t a good thing. Bless them. You can always invite them to be part of your healing circles. Don t limit the flow of Love just to those you like and relate to easily. Keep enlarging your circle and your heart will grow bigger, wiser and more beautiful. That s a spiritual law of Life.

51 THE LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM Many adults also put a very high value on knowledge. Just think of all the knowledge there is in the world and still there is so much war and suffering. Something is wrong here. Obviously, knowledge alone can never bring peace to the world. Only real Love can open people s hearts and souls. Knowledge must learn to serve Love that has no conditions. Then it can be a great servant, enriching Life and opening many doors. Remember, the young shall lead because simplicity, playfulness and joyous freedom are keys to Love in action. You will lead because Love is flowing through your young bodies, out your hands, through your words. And you will bless the world because you know there is so much more to grow into, and that the circle of Love really can expand bigger and bigger, without fear, with open arms, welcoming everyone home into the happiness we have all been born to know. Here is where you must be strong and brave. If well-meaning adults try to organize your freedom too much, stand up for the ways of Love. Stand up for staying playful and free. Stand up for exploring, experimenting and discovering and for all that is fresh and new. Stand up for Love. The world will finally change as hearts move from fear to trust, from anger to forgiveness, from grief to the wisdom and beauty of Love.

52 A BLESSING: May the Great Love who creates all things bless you with Love, happiness, a sense of adventure and the courage to be completely real.

More Love in the World Through You!
