"Man can harness the winds, the waves and the tides,
but when he can harness the power of love,
then for the second time in the history of the world,
man will have discovered fire."

- Teihard de Chardin -

Taken from http://www.heartcom.org/MiracleMoment.htm
where you'll find an amazing story "The Osprey and the Eagle"
written by Christopher Rudy
who recommended it.


............................................................................................................................................................

I ASKED GOD…

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said, "No." He said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole, and God said, "No." He said her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience, and God said, "No." He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it's earned.

I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, "No." He said He gives blessings. Happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain, and God said, "No." He said, "Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow, and God said, "No." He said I must grow on my own. But He will prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me, and God said, "Ah, finally you have the idea."

GRATITUDE FOR YOUR LIFE IN GENERAL

Just get happy in any way you can. Do the things that please you most. Spend time with the people that thrill you most. Go to the places where you bask easily. And most of all make a decision that, "Nothing is more important than that I feel good!" And under those conditions you will be guided with a precision that will knock your socks off. Not just to an area that will receive little disruption, but to an area where you can thrive. To an area where you can find joy. To an area where you will rendezvous with the others you've intended.

(Abraham through Esther Hicks)

GRATITUDE FOR ALL YOUR EXPERIENCES

I am certain that Abraham does not mean that we deny all the things in our lives that do not feel great to us. I am certain that Abraham supports us in owning those feelings that do not feel yummy…that Abraham supports us in acknowledging what is in our feeling states and then choosing to go higher and higher in every moment. When we find ourselves in anger, fear or confusion or any other strong or intense state of being, we can absolutely be at choice to 1) acknowledge the feeling/emotion and 2 ) choose to go higher with our will and intent. To learn how to do this with ease and success go to www.anextstep.org and click on B.E.S.T., Conscious Energy Breathing, Quantum Dynamics or Toni’s page or Kelley’s page.

SERVICE TO HUMANITY IS SERVICE TO AND WORSHIP OF GOD

“It is the duty of each individual to pay attention and drop unnecessary activity. Do your duty ! Do not be idle. This is an Age of Action. Perform your karma yoga. Show the world ideal actions. Service to humanity is service to and worship of God.“

BABAJI - 16 DECEMBER 1981

RETURN TO THE SACRED WITH LEONARD ORR Campbell Hot Springs, Calif.
June 2-11, 2006

Hi, everyone! Once again we are bringing Return to the Sacred. Call with your reservation or questions if you have them. This one will be even better! I hope that this letter finds you healthy, joyful and living life to the fullest!
Love Yasoda

Join us for a healing intensive where you will experience the amazing power of your breath to transform your life and liberate your true potential. As you enter the land at Sierra Hot Springs, the overwhelming sense of tranquillity and fragrances of pine trees, sage and meadow flowers greet you.

Once again, Leonard Orr and Rebirth International present: Return to the Sacred: A Spiritual Purification, Rebirthing Breathwork and Rejuvenation Training. A training for advanced and beginning students. For centuries, Indians have regarded this land as a sacred healing place. The natural spring water is as smooth as silk and the natural setting makes Sierra Hot Springs a perfect place for Spiritual Purification, Rebirthing Breathwork and Relaxation with Rebirthing founder, Leonard Orr. You have your choice of participating in the nine day, five day or weekend training, beginning Friday, June 2 - 11, 2006. "Earth, Air, Water & Fire are the physical qualities of God. They are the Eternal vehicles of Grace."
- Leonard Orr

The Program:
Increasing Personal Aliveness through Spiritual Purification: fasting, vision questing, fire purification, rebirthing breathwork sessions, movement, chanting, meditation, water purification and loving community.

Lots of Rebirthing sessions, at least every other day, more if you choose. What a way to clear!

The mini vision quest - a special experience of the healing power of fire and solitude.

Morning aarti (celebration of lights) and chanting.

Powerful seminars on Spiritual Psychology, Successful Clientele Building, Leonard Orr's famous Prosperity Consciousness Seminar, Transforming the mind of limiting beliefs and Loving Relationships and more.

Daily lively community meetings with Leonard and sharing in community at the end of each day.

The Land and Hot Springs:
There are over 700 acres bordering National Forest land, so biking and hiking possibilities abound. You can secure your own special camp site to suit you.

The Temple Dome Area is the main pool area and consists of The Hot Pool which is enclosed in a large geodesic dome, featuring stained glass and skylights. Complimented by two cold plunges this pool is also sand bottomed, with mosaic tile sides. Outside the dome, the warm Swimming Pool is complimented by a large sun deck. There is also a dry sauna at the Temple Dome Pool area.

The Meditation Pool is outdoors, surrounded by rock tile. In this natural pool, you step down rock steps into a sand bottomed delight. Because this pool is located apart from the more active, near-by pools, it is perfect for contemplation, rest and gazing at the evening stars.

The Phoenix Baths are seasonal pools inside private rooms, and the warm spring water is drained and refilled between users. The Phoenix Baths also house the newly remodeled spa area. You can make appointments with staff for a wonderful massage and more.

Body acceptance is a key component of Sierra Hot Springs, therefore all pools are clothing optional.

Accommodations:
Your tuition includes camping on the land (tents and RV's; there are no hookups, however). If you prefer indoor accommodations there is a dormitory (5 single beds) and European-style rooms at the historic Lodge on the property and at the beautifully renovated, 100+ year old Globe Hotel in Sierraville, just a mile away. Contact Yasoda for room prices.

If you choose inside accommodations, you must register separately with the hot springs office. Call: 530-994-3774 or e-mail at info@sierrahotsprings.org. We recommend you reserve early as room space is limited. We have secured a discount rate for Return to the Sacred participants. See information below about rates.*

Whether you wish to go for a midnight soak under star-studded skies, or rise with the sun for a daybreak hike, the scenic surroundings will accommodate you.

Meals: Meals are not included in your tuition. Many people enjoy preparing their own meals in the fully equipped Lodge guest kitchen, others enjoy meals at the restaurant in the Lodge and still others enjoy occasional meals at two of the local restaurants in Sierraville.

Well-behaved children are welcome at Sierra Hot Springs, including all accommodations. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times. Children are allowed in the pools between 11am and 6pm, excluding the Meditation Pool, the Temple Dome Hot Pool and the Sauna which are adults only areas.

Often, your arrival in San Francisco can be coordinated with someone from San Francisco who is coming to the training with advance notification.
