ClifNotes 3

I am prompted to write to you and share with you a letter I got from a young couple living in Portugal who’s baby was having difficulty with feeding, sleeping and constant crying.

Maria (pseudonym) wrote: “After our telephone conversation of yesterday, Michael continued to sleep very calmly and peacefully. His hands which are (almost) always cold (and feet too), started to get warmer. When he woke up at 2200h, he did not cry and came to my breast very well. Sleeping was also very calm. We also, especially me, felt a great joy in my heart.”

We are in the last few days of working in Holland. It is quite a wrench to leave behind so many people who have become good friends, wonderful help and some of the most constant work we have experienced for many years. After a few weeks in Germany and a week in Italy we had come back to the Netherlands and have been seeing 8-12 people five days a week.

Naturally there are some very interesting results.

Edith’s mum suffers from cancer possibly because she has always been a very angry person. She submitted, not very graciously, to her daughter’s encouragement to see me and she still does not see any connection between that one visit and her ‘suddenly’ calling her daughter at all hours of the day and night to say, “Edith, I love you.” Edith’s sister lives in another country and has called to ask what on earth drugs has their mum started taking as she has never known her to be polite yet alone loving.

It seems to me to be evidence that Intentional Healing works way outside of the ‘local mind’ whether the recipient agrees or even acknowledges the impact.

Depression seems to be rife in so many countries. Lucien is a lawyer (maybe that of itself is enough to bring on depression!!) who was close to suicide. He was taking the highest possible level of drugs to try to keep on an even keel. Now, after perhaps 6 sessions, he is not only off all drugs but is happy with his life, wife and future. My proposition is that depression is brought on almost always by the inability to face making some very serious decision. This is like standing in the centre of a whirlpool – the energy winds closer and closer dragging the mind into a downward vortex without exit. Breaking out of that might be extremely difficult unless some decision – any decision – starts the energy to flow freely again. Since it is impossible to know the outcome of any choice, any decision at all is better than none. The curious thing is that if we simply leap off the edge ‘nature’ takes over and miraculously leads us towards perfect resonance with our own purpose.

We’ve had one of my students, Roger Dymke, traveling with us for a few weeks. He was with us on our trip to Germany and down through to Italy. So there were three of us who couldn’t speak either Italian or German. That was OK until we tried to clear up a misunderstanding buying petrol in a tiny Italian village. Seeing the German words all over the little van we were traveling in, the attendant went off to get his friend who started talking loudly in German – totally perplexed that we seemed to be deliberately ignoring him!

By the time we got back from our few weeks in Germany, Sally had bought into the idea promoted by her doctors that she did not have long to live. She had trouble walking and her energy was almost zero. I had a chat with her, suggesting that maybe it was time to simply let go – leaving the outcome up to higher levels of knowing. She struggled along for a few more sessions and imperceptibly increased her strength. She found it wasn’t time to leave and now has great color in her cheeks and dances with her 6-month-old granddaughter.

On the other hand Sarah (30) is fairly certain that it is time to move on and is only concerned that it won’t be too long that she has to wait. As I make sure to tell her, absolutely no-one can check-out until it is the right time to leave and it may be that, by not resisting the possibility of dying, she will actually still be here for many years.

On the way back to Germany from Italy, we ‘found’ a beautiful lake in Austria. It was exactly where Paracelcus was born! In the nearby city of Klagenfurt we visited a rare exhibition from various personal collections of more than 490 of Dali’s etchings, woodcuts and illustrations. I suddenly had an urge to buy one of the posters (hey! I don’t even have a wall to hang posters on let alone space to carry such an item round the world!) It was the last copy and as they took it out of the display case they suggested it was a good idea for them to cut the price from 220 schillings to 100! And many other tales!

Our friend’s son (11?) quite suddenly became able to write very much clearer – it had been a constant worry for his mother. It works even if the person doesn’t openly agree to the changes!

In Germany we didn’t see too many people. One lady appears to have MS but during a casual conversation she disclosed that her father had always treated her like the son he expected her to be. After the session she agreed that she felt better than she had for a long time but she didn’t arrange for another session – often the case with MS sufferers (they regularly make sounds as though looking for help but if it comes they run away from it). Also she lived exactly underneath high-tension wires. Maybe that was a factor keeping her from changing.

Also a worried Mum brought her 6 year old son, Tod, who’s navel had never closed and constantly bled. He also had splits around the edges of his ears. With some surprise she readily agreed that neither she nor the boy’s father ever called him by his birth name. It was as if he wasn’t really there. You might say he had no connection to his ‘soul’. On reflection it is much the same as I learnt from the shamans in Buryatia – illness, according to their cosmology, is always caused by the soul not being settled into the physical body. In this case I asked her to revert to calling him Tod and also to create a womb-like room for him to sleep in for a few months. (I know that it is not dark for the foetus inside the womb, but we need the secure feeling of close surroundings to recollect the womb’s welcoming embrace).

In a somewhat similar case in Amsterdam. Three-year-old Jacob suffered badly from eczema. It started when he was only a few months old. His mother confirmed that it was a difficult birth. In a different way to Tod, Jacob wasn’t happy with his connection with this world as shown by the interface between himself/his skin and the world at large. His Mum immediately began exclaiming that she had felt that strange distance from him ever since he was born. At first her husband was quite withdrawn but then started to find examples he had noticed also. In the excitement of their revelations they completely forgot I was there! There was no doubt that they had it all figured out before they left.

The Uffici Gallery in Florence and Venice claimed our attention for an afternoon each but our favorite of all remains Assisi where St Frances kicked off an incredible renaissance of the church. There is very little damage obvious after the earthquake four years ago – especially pleasing were that the frescoes by Giotto were not touched.

Next ‘edition’ I want to look at ‘Spirit Release’ work, also known as ‘Rescue Work’ – it’s a very important and totally absorbing topic. We will see the difference between the dramatization of ‘possession’ and the power of loving-kindness to bring about equally dramatic changes for people inflicted with such diagnoses as schizophrenia and multiple personalities.
