Merry Christmas!

Dear Judy! Dear classmates!

Thank you all for being here in this school beside me. Thank you for your sharings, your support, your energy - for making all this possible.

It is a wondrous school! I am so happy to be part of it! It has changed my life and helps so much becoming aware and living in the now!

Happy Christmas full of love, light and joy to all of you!

Sandra

Snow

There is a bit of snow falling from the dark sky, softly and gently, here in Western New York State. I am 3 hours closer to some of you, in the exact same time zone as some of you, and 3 hours further from Los Angeles. Speaking of time, waking up to Reality means living in NOW. Living in NOW is a timeless state. In NOW everything flows smoothly. Everything flows. There is no past or future. These are not just idle words. The state of NOW does actually exist, even when we do not experience it. Let yourself contemplate the timeless state of NOW.

Dear Classmates,
I'm new here, I´m a friend from Eva. I'm from Eltville in Germany and I want to say hello to you. Sorry my English is not really good ;-)

What can I say about me? I'm a Artist & Goldsmith. My full love flow to my jewelry.
I love to do Yoga, read spiritual books.

I'm full of anticipation to be here!
Heartly,
Tina

Dear classmates,

some of you already know it: My healing crystals came back to me from a long journey. It was a joy for us to give the daily treatments - after such a long time - while I was holding them in my hands. We have got a lot of support during this process of returning the crystals to me. Also from you, and you and you .... and we went through deep transformations that now will enrich our work.
We (the crystals and me) decided now to gift all of you who supported us with good thoughts, mails, calls, from heart to heart with a crystal treatment. One will be in Maulburg in December 23rd at 7.30 in the evening. Please let Christel know if you are coming. The other date for a treatment will be in Mainz at 3 o'clock in the afternoon January 8th 2012. I am looking forward seeing you.
For those who are too far away to come for this event and who are still open for the gift of a treatment will receive a distant treatment Monday morning 10 o'clock January 9th Please let us know, if you would like to be part of our joy to gift you.
Thank for your love
Monika

Reply to Antje's comment under oil cleansing

Antje posted a comment below, under my post, "oil cleansing" and I tried to post a comment, but it was too long to be accepted, so I am writing it here, as a post.

Oil Cleansing

Here is a health tip I have been practicing for quite some time, with positive results. First thing in the morning, I use a tongue scraper. Then I take a mouthful of good quality organic olive oil or sunflower oil and swish it and hold it in my mouth for 30 to 45 minutes, then spit it out. Next I brush my teeth very well. This is called oil cleansing and helps remove toxins from your mouth and body. I was told of this remedy by a couple of reliable sources and it works for me. Try it if you like. Oh, and be sure to floss regularly! Flossing is the single most important action we can take to help prevent bone loss, gum disease, and decay. That's what my dentist says!

Christmas and Hanukkah Scholarship Gifts

As my Christmas gift to you, I am giving you a gift that you may gift to someone you love: a 3 month scholarship to our school. This will come as a gift from you, not from me, with a special message. If you would like to offer this gift to someone, just send me their name and email address, so they can be enrolled. Remember: next semester for new students begins January 8, 2012, so please register their names in time to complete their Orientation before their first lesson arrives. Their scholarship will be January 8 to April 8. Of all the gifts we can give, gifts of the spirit are the greatest, for they are lasting, while everything of this world fades away. Perhaps this is the true meaning of Christmas and this season of Light.

I like this quote

"Angels are patient. Angels know there is no rush, no journey more meaningful than the one you are on. Home is just a breath away. Whenever you need to be reminded of this, you are invited to return to your lessons for a dose of unconditional love, inspiration, and serenity." - I like these words so much, that are in my new lesson 41. I know everyone isn't on lesson 41 yet; I just want to say that I am so glad to have the lessons to accompany me through life. I hope you keep writing them for years to come, dear teacher of my heart.

Walnuts and Cherries

Do you know that w walnuts   and c cherries  both contain significant amounts of melatonin which can help with sleep, and are also a good source of antioxidants? Eating walnuts and cherries with yogurt is a beneficial evening snack. Frozen cherries are often available, even when there are no fresh ones.

LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY

Here is a song with beautiful words and a beautiful melody. You can find it yourself on the internet, if you wish to hear it. I am posting it here because it is so pretty. I especially like the part that says, "a place that's known to God alone."  It was written in 1944 by Ernest Ball  and J. Keirn Brennan. Maybe you will enjoy it too!

From Eva

Dear Classmates, I love this work. I need the angels help. Oh, Judy I miss you! Also, I am giving a one-year workshop if any students live in the Mainz area and would like to learn Shiatsu.

YOU ARE NOT THE PERSON YOU TAKE YOURSELF TO BE

Good morning Dear Students.

As the sun rises in California I will respond to an email from a student in response to the angel message I posted the other day. I haven't included her name, just her words, below. 

 

For me it's a very hard exercise to think in the way you suggested, "You are not the person you take yourself to be." What remains? What is real? What can I trust? A lot of questions and still some more not so easy to put in words. I don't really expect an answer from you, but it's something I would have told you. (It's not easy to tell such things in my own language, and it's very hard to do it in English).

Gabi

Hi Gabi, I just looked at your website. What a pretty setting you have to do your work. Perhaps one day if I am ever in your part of the world, I can have a session. We have such talented people here in our school.

Awareness is the same thing as Happiness

Dearest Students, the world out there is very busy right now, at least in the USA, as people prepare for Thanksgiving. I myself will be taking part in a spiritual retreat, which is the best way I can imagine to spend a day devoted to gratitude. Since I don't eat meat, I won't be partaking of any turkey, the traditional dinner of most Americans. I thought I'd give you all a special spiritual exercise you can practice, so here it is:

Castles

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." --Thoreau.........

Our work in the school helps us to build firm foundations of truth. Thank you dear Teacher and classmates for being part of my schooling!

Helpful Reminder

Human beings experience lows and highs, and yet what we strive for on the clear and simple way is our center. When you experience a bad mood, a depression, notice how your mind tells you that it will last forever. Then remind yourself that your dark state is temporary. Do the same thing when you experience an unnatural high. Just do your best to observe the constant cycle of highs and lows, and keep remembering to remind yourself that this is temporary. Be an angel to yourself. Whisper words of truth to yourself, especially when you are in a depression or an unnatural high. Remind yourself that all darkness is false. Only Light is eternal.

Thank you Judy for the new lesson.
I like it very much. It supports my inner freedom.
Love to all
Monika

Full Moon

Looks like a full moon up there tonight, hanging behind the mist. Isn't it nice to know all over the world we look up to the same full moon, even if it looks different to each of us, depending upon where we are. Isn't it comforting to know that the same force that holds something as awesome as the stars and planets in place holds us!

BANISHING DISTRESS

Q: How does reading your lessons and practicing your homework help you in the rest of your life?

A: When a dark energy (such as ignorance and reliance upon negative thoughts) is banished inwardly (replaced by Truth), it loses all power outwardly. When there is nothing anxious within you, there is nothing distressful outside of you!

OCTOBER 2008 MESSAGE: LETTING GO OF THE PAST

I decided to take a look back into the past, to the message I wrote October 2008 on my official website. (I used to write monthly message on my website, though now it's mostly every two months. Too busy writing for our school!) I thought you might like to read it too. I especially like the idea that to our past self, we are the future self, and to our future self, we are the past self! Get it? Anyway, if you'd like to read that message, it's here: http://www.theclearandsimpleway.com/octobermessage2008.htm
