Last Week's Thought Of The Week:
Is still on my mind...

"Some years ago Russian scientists conducted an experiment in which petri dishes containing yeast were placed in front of one group of people whose eyes were open and another group whose eyes were closed.  The yeast grew significantly more when it was being looked at. The scientists concluded that 'the eyes of the observer emit a force field that can influence what the eyes are looking at'"

- Lolette Kuby, "Faith and the Placebo Effect: An Argument For Self Healing", Origin Press, Novato, CA 2001
 

...and led me to this video...

 

Years ago, I studied with an energy healer by the name of Mearah Marqua. I went to her desperate for help because nothing else was working. I was in my late 20's or early 30's and I was deep in the pain of watching my dream of sharing my music with the world slip away... Self help books hadn't really helped, psychotherapy hadn't really helped...so I was open to the idea that the hopelessness and negative energy that I was "stuck" in could be "healed."

So I made an appointment to see her... It was strange but I felt completely exposed when see looked at me. And then she told me things that nobody else could have known. Whoa! It still gives me chills.

She put her hands on me and I felt this strange sensation of energy flowing throughout my body...THEN she raised her hands a few inches off my body and I still felt it...at one point I distinctly felt her near my head...I opened my eyes to peak and was surprised to find that she was down at my feet!

I continued to work with her for something like 5 years and in that time my life changed drastically...when I started I owned an title insurance agency that I'd grown to hate. I owned 4 houses, 3 cars...you know the story...by the time I stopped working with her I was living in a small two bedroom apartment with my wife and three kids and I was making a living performing in elementary schools and summer camps with my DrumSongStory programs. Some folks would look at that and see a "disaster" I'd lost all this material "stuff" but I was finally on the right track and doing something a lot closer to what I was born to do.

The specific point of this story beore I move on to other subjects is this: There were times when I had released some deep, painful stuff and I desperately needed to make an appointment with Mearah. She was pretty busy though and often I would end up leaving a message on her answering machine. Without exception every time I left a message on her machine I felt better within the hour. And she often didn't get back to me in person for several days.

So the question is: did Mearah somehow "heal" me? Or was it my act of reaching out for help that engaged my own healing power? Later on when I discovered NLP I learned about the power of "anchors" and how the internal representation we associate with a person, place, sound, or touch can instantly "reset" our physiology and energy...but that's a story for another day.

So again this week, as I will probably mention most weeks, there is power in our thoughts and in how we use them. The mind and the body are intricately linked in ways that we arrogant Westerners are just starting to "get."

What would your life look like if you were able to focus your energy like a laser to heal the aspects of your life that need your attention? It's never too late. And miracles happen every single day. Believe it or not.

A Life In Song - 30 Years of Original Music:

What's new this week?

  • Still Working on two new songs... Can't tell you what they're about yet...
     
  • This week I'm recording my narration of a children's story for an organization called C.H.E.E.T.A.H. which assists young people to find the money and assistance they need to go to college. Paulette Lawrence, the executive director somehow found me a couple of years ago and asked me to perform the story for a group of high school students...of course being the compulsive songwriter that I am...I wrote her a song...check it out!

 

Anyway, I'm narrating this book that Paulette wrote and it will include this song. Incidently there's a factory in china right now manufacturing tote bags that will play a verse of this song whenever they are opened! I'll keep you posted on how you can get yours ;o)

  • New songs up on my music site (well not exactly "new" since I wrote them when I was in high school but they still seem new and they are certainly new to you! :o)
