My Life as a student of "A Course in Miracles"

My Course book

I have been a serious student of "A Course in Miracles" for about 5 years now. Before that, I dabbled in the Course, but it wasn't until I had a major healing with my son that I made the decision to dive in fully and completely! 

I have made a commitment to my connection with the Divine through this teaching, and I am getting results!! I had been a "seeker" for more than 15 years before this point and I felt helpless in the face of my many challenges... nothing seemed to work... until now.

The results I am achieving through my daily commitment and practice are nothing short of miraculous, but it takes vigilance and dedication to both study and apply the teaching, not just read and analyze it. It is my #1 priority. The Course promises that if I make my connection to God/Love my primary purpose, all my needs and wants will be taken care of! It's hard to believe at the level of the world, but I find that the more I take responsibility for my experience, the more peaceful and loving my life becomes!

Another one of the beautiful things about this spiritual thought system is that it does not claim to be superior to other paths...  it is, quite simply, for those people who resonate with it. It's okay for others to have different paths because we are all loved equally by Source no matter what "course" we are taking... and we are all waking up together as the "one mind".

I have started combining my photography with ideas and phrases from "A Course in Miracles" and sharing them on my Instagram and Facebook Hug Healer pages... I welcome you to connect with me as I expand my role as a teacher and demonstrator of Love!

Transitioning into Newness

Spring has arrived… and with it an opportunity to open more fully into our true Unlimited Magnificence! What does that look like? This is the question I am asking myself… not in form, but in feeling and intention. Feelings are everything! After all, isn't every "thing" we want coming from the idea about how we think we will feel when we get it? So why don't we just go for the feeling?! Who cares what the form looks like if I'm happy and peaceful? And if I decide what my happiness is supposed to look like, might I be limiting myself to smallness? ...when I could be opening myself to infinite possibilities beyond my wildest imagination? 

So, my intention, as I move into spring, is to cultivate my connection to Divine Source as my guide… and flow in the direction of peace and inspiration in each and every moment… to an experience of new and unknown potential. 

I am just beginning to unfurl my wings!

Imagination Meditation

Affirmation: "I am open and receptive to all the GOOD & ABUNDANCE in the Universe."
- Louise L. Hay ❤

Speaking affirmations is "the practice of positive thinking" in New Age terminology. In this regard, all we are doing is trying to convince ourselves of something we really don't believe!


To truly embody and experience a shift in perspective does not have anything to do with trying to trick ourselves into believing something we don't actually accept as true subconsciously. 


A much easier, authentic, and stress-free approach is to simply imagine what it might feel like to see things differently, while accepting and being honest about your doubts! 

I call this an "Imagination Meditation"

You can say to yourself: "Well, at some level I would like to believe that there is unlimited good and abundance in the universe, but right now that is not my experience in my life, and I probably have some blocks to being able to receive that.... but let me just imagine for a moment what it might feel like to REALLY trust and KNOW that it is true. I realize that there must be some people out there in the world who really do experience this level of trust.... what must it FEEL like to be them?"


Then simply imagine (for a moment) being someone who knows and lives and experiences (beyond the shadow of a doubt) the goodness and abundance that exists in the universe. Close your eyes. IMAGINE if it really was true. FEEL it in your body. PLAY with the idea of seeing things in a new and unfamiliar way. 


Can you feel yourself relax? Can you feel the muscles in your neck and shoulders release? Does your body automatically want to let out a deep sigh of relief? This is simply an exercise in imagination... a "trying on" of a new way of being and thinking... a respite into peace and trust... A way to practice positive thinking without the guilt!! Give it a try with anything you would like to see differently. :)

The Blossoming of Spring

The days are getting longer... the weather is warming up (thank heavens!!)... and it's once again time to welcome the blossoming of Spring.


Winter has been a time of deep solitude and stillness, in mind and body... a time for renewal and healing - a tight bud closed against the cold and darkness {{a type of "self-hug"}}.... going inward in anticipation and preparation of an unfolding and blooming towards a new awareness. 


It's time to ask myself: 

• What do I long to open and emerge into?
• How do I wish to embrace my life in a new way?
• What can I choose and create (in both thought and action) in order to more fully connect with my purpose?
• What IS my purpose?

Life is a series of evolving experiences... embrace the wonder and the questions. Open up to receive the answers and know that you are loved and guided on your journey.

Hugging Nuances

We can receive powerful information about ourselves and others through a hug. Next time you hug someone, pay attention to the various nuances of the hug...

• what are your/their hands doing?
• what parts of your bodies are touching?
• can you feel the other person breathing?
• who pulls away first?
• do they have a solid or airy feel?
• can you sense the level of comfort in the other person?
• what are you feeling? content...? awkward...? loving...? distracted...?

In other words, be present! Enjoy the moment. Feel the connection. Appreciate the gift. Share the energy. And learn something about yourself! 

Life is an adventure of transformation and hugging can be another tool supporting our self-awareness and personal growth.
