Harmonic Healer

Hello friends,

Here I am, breaking my own rules by making more than one post a year – ha-ha!

So, I’ve been on sabbatical (from seeing clients for sound healing sessions) for a long time. For a while I was struggling with the concept of “sabbatical” vs. “retirement” – again, as far as seeing clients (I do still teach). I guess I can come out of either of those at any time, so it’s it’s not a big issue for me any longer (it was for a while). However, I still like the sound and concept of a sabbatical. It seems less permanent (regardless of previous remarks) than retirement.

So what is it for which I’ve been waiting? Well, inspiration. I just haven’t felt all that inspired to see clients. (And yes, I actually still do have a couple hanging on out there.)

I have felt inspired to teach. I really enjoyed my recent opportunity at the Ancient Medicine Modern Wisdom conference in Oakhurst, CA. And I do teach annually at the Holistic Life Institute in Oakdale, CA.

And I remain inspired to continue my study and practice of A Course in Miracles. As with any thought/belief system of any worth, my understanding and practice has deepened greatly in four years.

I just wanted to touch base here and aim to delve into more detailed thoughts in the upcoming weeks.

Blessings,

Michael

Hello, my friends.

This year (thus far), my tenth year of doing sound and vibrational healing as “Harmonic Healer”, has been spent on sabbatical. In this, the first post to my new blog, I thought I would address the concept of “why a sabbatical”?

Some of the ideas discussed here will be elaborated upon in future posts – I don’t want to write a book for the first post! So why a sabbatical? Why now? How long? As strange as it may sound, after ten years of studying and learning, performing one-on-one healing sessions, and teaching classes, I was ready for a little change of pace! Little did I know where my spiritual path would lead me for this part of my life.

Last year (2007), I first discovered Gary Renard (“The Disappearance of the Universe”), which lead me directly to “A Course in Miracles” (hereafter referred to as the “Course”). I found this Course compelling, interesting, fascinating, challenging, difficult – I couldn’t put it down. It was so difficult for me in the beginning few months I referred to it as “A Curse in Miracles”. Yet it became as important as any other part of my spiritual path thus far in my life. I decided that I needed to study it without any other interference or distraction. And although I have had many incredible experiences in my sound healing work, the concepts were different enough that I decided that I did not want to do two things at the same time which might interfere with one another. Ergo, a sabbatical, to concentrate on the Course.

So, for how long? I do not know yet. As a concise answer, I await guidance and inspiration as what to do next – and when. I feel that studying the Course is as important FOR ME as anything I have done. And please understand, the Course does NOT say “do this” or “stop doing that” – the choice to continue studying and not do my traditional sound healing work is purely my own.

I feel it is the proper thing for me to be doing at this time. In this blog, I plan to share some of my thinking, experiences, and anything that might grab me and rattle my cage a little. I hope that you will join in these discussions, make comments, and ask questions. My desire is that we will all use the exchanges here to continue to grow and challenge ourselves.

Thank you for reading and participating.

Blessings, Michael…
