searching to find what resonated with me, that spirituality was not located in a separate building or a particular belief system, but in all that we behold. This new knowledge brought to me much excitement, joy, and peace. Both Cindy and I hope that you will use this newsletter to open your hearts and minds to spiritual connection. For it is truly in everything, even in the very air we breathe; thus the name, Spiritual Potpourri. Cindy and my experience has been that if you can live your life moment to moment and see the beauty that exists in all creation, you will be truly transformed.

6 Proven Tips to Forgiveness

Mickie Bellah and Her Team Chances are
you have never heard of the painter Mickie Bellah, even though she
has been an active artist for a number of years. If you were to look
at this tiny-framed woman, she looks like the neighbor next door.
But, her passion for art has carried her to an unusual and highly
evolved way to paint. In her words, it’s Mickie and her team, not
just Mickie designing the paintings. She is definitely led by this
spiritual team as to when to paint, how to paint, and certainly what
colors to use. There might be other artists that use similar
painting techniques, but probably not many where an angelic team
actually has an imprint on the outcome. A recent gallery owner in New York City labeled her a colorist and said the following about her work: “The expressionistic nature of Ms. Bellah’s paintings is both darning and meditative, filling a dramatic range within the same image. The paintings are poetic and majestic while still offering an open door to interpretation due to their abstract nature” - Amsterdam Whitney International Fine Art, INC. (New York, New York).

Each time before she starts a painting session, she gets out a set of tuning forks and vibrationally checks to see that the paint, the canvas and her self are in harmony. Then she goes to work. She uses no brushes, knives, or painting tools. No color is mixed beforehand. Instead she splashes paint, then tilts and twists the canvas and as the colors mix they form amazingly beautiful patterns. Before the paint is dry, Mickie walks over to a container of crushed crystals and intuits which ones belong in the almost finished painting. This finishing touch, ramps up the energy and adds an unseen quality that viewers can sense without knowing why. |
The results are alive and vibrant as each work of art carries its own individual vibrational signature. She is now working on the Luminescence Series. If you go to her website be sure to check out these new paintings. Mickie just finished a show in the Amersterdam-Whitney Gallery in New York City and is soon to open in the Arleccina Gallery in Las Vegas. Click on Mickie for her website. | ||||

There was a week or
two that I started getting a strong sense that something was in the
air. But as with many intuitive people, it was often harder to read
for myself than to read someone else. So I called up a very gifted
friend to see if she could figure out what was going on.
She You know how TV programs always show accidents in slow motion. Some things are blurred and other things stand out almost in crystalline form. My memory of that day was a bright sunny jammed pack highway with no place to go when the silver grey car swerved into my lane. As I tried to avoid the car, I slid into the steep gravely grade of the road, I distinctly heard "Don't go into the ditch, or you'll be dead". My little red Toyota Celica spun out of control and quickly bounced back into traffic and across the road. It felt as if someone had pushed the slow button on a video with everything surreally spinning, when I suddenly looked up and saw this massive lumber truck barreling towards me. I very clearly said "Oh shit, God take me or leave me, but NO INJURIES". I had seen enough head trauma to know that I did not want to be in that position. To this day I will never forget the sensation of a force field surrounding me as if to seal me off from any impact. When the truck hit, as you can imagine, my car was completely totaled. As steam surrounded me and fear engulfed me, I frantically kicked my way out of the jammed door, and shakily sat beside the road until EMS arrived. Everyone on the scene thought they were coming to collect a dead body.  Looking back on the
actual impact, it was like there was a suspended moment in time
where major decisions were being made about my life. I knew from
that moment on that I was not to hide my gifts, I was not to pretend
to be less, and that I was to help other people with the gifts I had
been given. It is still a hard process and a struggle sometimes not
to be seen as so different, but I'm very clear now that there is a
purpose for my existence and I am not to deny that any longer.

Proven Tips on
Forgiveness |
UPCOMING EVENTS: | |||||

Tip 2 - Imagine the Person You are Trying to Forgive as a Newborn Baby Sometimes it is difficult to forgive someone, because you see “all his or her negative traits”. A way to get past that is to see them as a newborn baby when they are free of those traits, and still have an innocence about them. This makes forgiving them easier. |
Forgiveness is not a
moral issue. It is an energy dynamic... Forgiveness means that you do not carry the baggage of an experience. When you choose not to forgive, the experience that you do not forgive sticks with you. When you choose not to forgive, it is like agreeing to wear dark, gruesome sunglasses that distort everything, and it is you who are forced every day to look at life through those contaminated lenses because you have chosen to keep them. ~ Gary Zukav from 'The Seat Of The
Soul ~ | |||||
|
Tip 3 - Write “I
Forgive (Person, or Situation)” and then Write Your Automatic
Negative Thought. An example would be:
This exercise helps you get to the unconscious thought that is getting in the way of your ideal weight. Write it as many times as you need. You might write it 20 times and that is enough. You might have to write a little each day, as you keep getting closer to the unconscious thought. | ||||||
|
Tip 4 - Imagine Yourself and the Person You Want to Forgive Surrounded in Golden Light. Your imagination is a free tool that is unlimited in its scope. So let’s use it. When you have trouble forgiving someone, see him or her surrounded in the most beautiful loving light. Then do this for your self. When you do this, it helps you to not be “sending” negative thoughts their way. It is amazing how often this can turn negative situations around. The other person starts reacting differently due to the new energy coming their way. It also helps you to view the situation from a higher perspective. |
The practice of
forgiveness is our most important If we let go of things, our life
is going to change. |
Tip 5 - If forgiveness is difficult for you, start with forgiving the person and not the deed. We are often angry at what someone did, how they acted in a situation. We want to be right, and make them wrong. So we don’t let go. For that reason, let us start with forgiving the person and not the deed. Remember the times they did something nice to you or for you. This will assist you in forgiving them. | ||||
|
Tip 6 - Always Remember to Forgive Yourself First When you forgive your self first, it frees you up to look at any situation more objectively. When you don’t forgive your self, you beat your self up, and then you just continue a negative downward spiral. TOP |
