The Miracle of Fire The Grid Founder – Shelley Yates

One of my friends brought the story of Shelley Yates to my attention. Thanks Mel! This is an amazing story that illustrates the power of perseverance and miraculous recovery from near death.

Like The Miracle of Anita Moorjani, this story is a miracle that not only involves Shelley Yates but, her four year old son Evan, as well. Both survived near death experiences on November 14, 2002.

Here’s the story;

Once upon a time, there was a woman named Shelley Yates. Shelley was a negative, unhappy, miserable human being who hated living and hated being here.” A single mom on welfare who believed it was me against the world.” But…, that was before…..

On November 14, 2002 Shelley was driving with her four year old son in the car on a road that was used infrequently. She was on her way to a friends house to complain about her life . As she drove, she noticed that the lake on her left was flooded and water was running over the road ahead and  spilling into a marshy area on the right.

Shelley continued to drive.

The tires of their car began hydroplaning to the point that the water lifted and carried the car over the guard rail and into the flooded marshy area on the right.

The car landed on its roof and began to sink down under the water. Shelley figured on rolling the windows down so that she and her son could get out, however the electricity short-circuited leaving a four inch gap where water began barreling into the car.

Up to this point, Shelley felt under control. She was a scuba diver and life saver. She knew what needed to be done.

Once the car filled up with water and the pressure equalized, she would open the car door and swim out with her son in tow.

The water filled in up to her shoulders. She instructed her son to take a deep breath and hold the air in. Shelley did the same. Under the water they went. When the water completely filled the car she pulled on the door handle to open the door.

It wouldn’t budge. The car door was jammed shut! It wouldn’t open. She pushed on the glass. The window wouldn’t budge either.

All the while, Shelley was holding her son Evan with one hand while attempting to work on the door and window with the other. She knew she had to let go of her son to use the force of all her strength to free them. Shelley released her grip and with a shove allowed Evan’s body to float into the back seat area of the car hoping there was a pocket of air for him to breathe.

With all of her force Shelley tried desperately to open the doors of the car. By this time, she had to breathe. Shelley describes inhaling water to “breathing liquid fire”. She realized they weren’t getting out.

Frantically, Shelley looked for Evan’s body. She wanted to hold him. She didn’t want her son’s last memory to be of her pushing him away.

As she was about to take another breath, Shelley heard a loud booming voice command, “Relax.” Then the voice softened instructing her to give herself over to the water and told her that help was on the way.

Shelley surrendered to the water. Immediately, she realized that while her body stayed in the car, the essence of who she was went off into the sky. Shelley remembers the brilliant blueness of the sky and six majestic beings at least six or seven feet tall appeared.

The beings called her “dear”, “dear one”, and “child”. They told her they would help her and her son and instructed her to follow their instructions and to have faith.

While Shelley was unconscious and having a near death experience involving six majestic beings, two men driving in separate cars on the road Shelley’s car left were talking on their cells phones to each other. One man asked the other, Did you see the car in the lake?” The man replied, No.” Oh my gosh, that means the car just went in,” the other man said in response. Both drivers turned their car around and headed back to where Shelley’s car went into the lake.

The two men took turns diving to find the car and get the people out. A third man,  a nine year veteran paramedic and passenger, waited.

Shelley reckons her car was under water for at least fifteen minutes before one of the men found her body and pulled her out. The man told her that her body was black and blue, she had moss in her eyeballs, up her nose, in her ears and her lips were black. His comment to Shelley was, You were dead as anything I’ve ever seen.”

The paramedic performed CPR for a full seven minutes before giving up. Turning to the other guys, he said, She’s gone.” At that moment, Shelley sat straight up and shouted, Get my baby out of the lake!”

The divers went back down under the water, but could not find Evan’s body. By this time, a crowd had formed and one of the people shouted there was a boom truck at the top of the hill.

The boom truck driver pulled the car up out of the lake. They opened the car door. Evan’s body floated out.

Shelley reckons, Evan was in the lake for over a half hour.

Emergency vehicles took Shelley and Evan to separate hospitals.

Once Shelley’s vital signs became normal, the hospital discharged her. Arriving at the hospital where her son was taken, she found him in the intensive care unit on life supports.

The hospital wanted her permission to unplug him to stop his suffering. The neurologists told her he would be brain dead. Shelley went out to the hall to think.

Suddenly, Shelley remembered talking to the majestic beings while she was unconscious in the lake. She heard that same voice now saying to her, Fill it up.”

The beings explained to her that we have an energy body and a human body. The energy body of her son was so badly depleted she had to rebuild it. Shelley compares it to giving a blood transfusion.

The beings instructed her to put both hands on her child and share her greatest human joy to give him a reason to wake up, a reason to stay.

She knew she needed help with this task. She called everyone she knew and asked them to call everyone they knew. For three solid days, hundreds of people filed one at a time into Evan’s room to put their hands on him and share their joy with him.

Of course, Shelley didn’t tell people they were doing an energy transfer, she simply instructed them to touch him and tell him the things they loved about being here. She asked them to sing him a song or share a story, inspire him, uplift him.

Also, there was to be no negativity in the room. No one was allowed to talk as if Evan was not there and couldn’t hear them.

For three whole days, they did this while Evan got worse and worse and worse. His bowels started to pass out of his diaper and he smelled like rotten meat.”

Doctors urged Shelley to unplug him. Shelley went out to the hall.

Shelley talked in her mind. It  went something like this, “You told me to do this energy transfer and I did, so now what?”

At that moment, she heard, Shelley, come, he’s awake!” Shelley rushed into his room. There he was, sitting up and looking around.

For the next sixteen hours, Shelley held him and sang songs to him.

The doctors came in to the room and said, We have to send you out of ICU. Your son’s not sick enough to be here.

The burn marks from the paddles were gone and he smelled like new babies.”

The doctors explained further, We’re sending you to recovery, but your son will never walk and never talk. He will never be your son again.”

Within three days, Evan said, Mommy, I gotta poop.” Shelley walked to the bathroom with her son.

The story doesn’t end there.

Seven months later, Shelley was driving. She heard that same voice, the one from her near death experience. It said, Hello, dear one.” Shelley felt so much bliss and joy from the presence of the beings that she thought she would explode. In fact, she almost lost control of her car.

The beings told her that what she did for her dying son with a small group of people, she could do for a dying planet with a large group of people. They explained that the earth can be healed with an energy transfer from a large group of people and they gave her the date and time; July 17, 2007, 11:11 GMT.

In Part 4 of her video, Shelley explains that she did not want the project. She began looking for people who would take the project on.

Shelley shared the story of her near death experience and subsequent visits from the majestic beings hoping that someone would take the responsibility from her. But, no one would. They all said it was her project to do.

One day, Shelley met Annie. Annie told Shelley that fifteen years ago, an angel came to her and told her someone was coming to her with a project and that one hour of human time could change the course of humanity. The angel told Annie she was to be an assistant to the one coming with the project.

Shelley said to Annie, You’re crazier than me.” Shelley went home.

Annie persisted with phone calls to Shelley until finally one day, Annie said to Shelley,You owe those beings a debt of gratitude. Every day you play with your son. Every day you love and kiss your son. Every day you have your baby in your arms. The most you can do is follow their instructions.”

Annie guilt-ed Shelley into the project and with the help of Annie’s husband, Fire The Grid ignited.

The purpose of Fire The Grid is to collectively lift our fields for a one hour time period. The first one hour time period took place on July 17, 2007. The latest one took place November 11, 2011.

Shelley explains how to walk the path.

1) Do no harm and it must start with yourself first.

2) Do everything with honesty and integrity.

3) Find your human joy and be thankful for the opportunity.

Shelley further explains there are three things to do every day to lift your field.

1) Lift your field from “me me me” to sharing and giving. Practice random acts of kindness.

2) Lift your field by finding your joy and being grateful.

3) Lift your field by listening to uplifting music.

I hope you enjoyed this miracle story. All of the information came from the eight part video series and Shelley’s website. I’ve posted part 1 of the video series below for you to listen to. Please check out Shelley’s website for the full details about the project and download some very uplifting music.

Anita Moorjani’s – Dying to be ME: A Miracle Mama Book Review

Everyone on the planet must read Anita Moorjani’s book, Dying To Be Me   published by Hay House, Inc!

Anita’s book chronicles a thrilling true account of her journey from end-stage lymphoma (cancer) to a miraculous healing.  Anita’s unbelievable recovery, that even baffled doctors, began the moment she awoke from a 30 hour coma during which she met the truth of her being.

Please join me while I give my impressions and snippets from Anita’s beautiful gift to humanity; Dying To Be Me.

I really like the way the book is organized into three parts; life before Anita’s near death experience (NDE), life during and after the NDE and finally, how to live as a reflection of your core essence; Love Itself.

Part one, describes the benefits and challenges of growing up “immersed in three cultures and languages simultaneously.” I found this part in and of itself very interesting, informative and moving.

Anita’s account of her experiences; growing up in a family of Hindu tradition, the heart-warming influences of a Chinese nanny and the confusion, ridicule and bullying she experienced while attending educational facilities shines light on the narrow view dictated by our perceptions.

As I read, I pondered the effects of  ignorance when we cling to a minuscule view of the grander picture. I remembered when my own ignorance caused pain and suffering to others.

Part two, paints a vibrantly vivid picture of a hidden realm in the midst of a very serious life and death situation; it’s aptly titled, “My Journey to Death… and Back.”

Comatose and physically unresponsive to outward appearances, Anita remained full of life-giving energy on the inside; at her core essence.

Medical personnel reported that lemon-sized tumors covered her entire middle section. All her organs had shut down. Her cavity filled with fluid. Veins had retracted.

Yet, Anita saw and heard all conversations and occurrences that transpired while she laid in the hospital bed severed from the use of her five physical senses. Anita even became aware that her brother was driving to the airport, thousands of miles away, to board a plane that would bring him to her bedside.

“Here I am without my body, race, culture, religion, or beliefs…yet I continue to exist!”

“I was filled with the knowledge that I was simply magnificent!”

“I still felt myself completely enveloped in a sea of unconditional love and acceptance. I was able to look at myself with fresh eyes, and I saw that I was a beautiful being of the Universe. I understood that just the fact that I existed made me worthy of this tender regard rather than judgment. I didn’t need to do anything specific; I deserved to be loved simply because I existed, nothing more and nothing less.”

While in this state, Anita felt the presence of her father who had died 10 years prior. She also felt the presence of her good friend who died from cancer just a few years prior. At the same time, Anita felt the presence of other loving beings. But, somehow, Anita also felt One with everyone and everything.

“It was as though I was enveloped in the oneness, the pure essence of every living being and creature, without their aches, pains, dramas, and egos.”

Anita states she had a choice whether to come back or not. She writes that although the pull toward not returning was quite strong, she knew if she chose to come back, her “body would heal rapidly”.

“It was then that I understood that my body is only a reflection of my internal state. If my inner self were aware of its greatness and connection with ALL-that-is, my body would soon reflect that and heal rapidly.”

Thirty hours from the time she was rushed to the hospital, Anita awoke from the coma.

Two days later, Anita asked medical personnel to remove the food tube because it bothered her throat and she wanted to eat real food.

Within three days the tumors had shrunk considerably and within five days, Anita’s vastly improved condition initiated a move from the intensive care unit into a regular room.

A few weeks later, the oncologist wanted to do a lymph-node biopsy. Anita was sent to radiology for an ultrasound. She smiled when she hear the radiologist comment to the oncologist;

“I don’t understand. I have scans that show this patients’ lymphatic system was ridden with cancer just two weeks ago, but now I can’t find a lymph node on her body large enough to even suggest cancer.”

Anita was discharged from the hospital just five weeks after being admitted while in a comatose state. All tests indicated she was cancer-free.

The book explores what it was like for Anita once she was home. Her changed way of perceiving life presented adjustments.  Anita knew she was grateful to be alive and wanted to live her life to the fullest. She followed her heart and stayed true to who she knew she truly was.

In the last chapter of part two, Anita explains the series of synchronistic events that culminated in the publishing of her book.

“I need only be the magnificent love that I am and allow events and circumstances in my life to play out in the way that I know is always in my best long-term interest.”

In part three, Anita describes her life prior to the NDE as fear-based. She feared just about everything including cancer. While in the other realm, Anita knew she was dying because her fears weren’t allowing her to express her true self. The cancer wasn’t punishment. Her own energy manifested as cancer because her fears prevented her magnificence to shine through. She realized how hard she had been on herself, how judgmental and unloving she treated herself.

Anita saw her true self as a beautiful loved child of the universe. She knew that all of us have access to this magnificent infinite self. She also knew that once her magnificent self decided to continue to live and express through her body nothing could affect the decision.

“I was able to get in touch with who I truly am, the part of me that’s eternal, infinite and encompasses the Whole.”

The magnificence Anita speaks of is Love Itself. Anita stresses that it’s important to recognize this – we are love. We must cherish this and cultivate an atmosphere of self-love allowing it to flow through us and pour outward.

“it all became so clear to me because I understood that to be me  is to be love. This is the lesson that saved my life.”

There is way more than I’ve written here to Anita’s story. Dying To Be Me is one of the most uplifting, inspiring and no-nonsense books I’ve read and will read many times over. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants inspiration and encouragement.

Miracle Mama Readers are the Best!

With much appreciation, I commend Miracle Mama readers. I think you are amazing. You help spread the message of Love with every share of, “The Miracle of Anita Moorjani” , “The Miracle of Lester Levenson” and “The Miracle of Akiane Kramarik“.

Last week, Miracle Mama blog stats hit an all time record with 459 views in one day. Wooot! Wooot! Thank you so much for sharing.

Anita, Lester and Akiane’s stories are beautiful and inspiring and they are a few of many more stories in the Miracle Mama pipeline waiting to be told to help bring awareness of our true potential.

We need to help each other rise above the  limited existence of the material senses and petty human mind drama. We need to let go of all fear and doubt and know that we are much more than physical bodies as Anita and Lester’s stories so clearly illustrate. We need to learn the true meaning of Love and develop this faculty as Lester did so that we too, will experience the miracles true Love offers. Most of all, we need to know that we are loved and loving by the only true force in the world: Love Itself.

Until we collectively realize our true nature, we will continue to see devastation in the world. There is nothing more important than developing the Love faculty not only in ourselves, but also in every aspect of our lives (the workplace, governments, schools, in our churches, temples and in our homes) because in the end, when we’re about to pass from this physical existence, only Love truly matters. Material possessions, status, money, mean nothing without Love Itself first and foremost.

So, let’s learn all we can about what true Love really is and how to embody that Love in all our affairs and then, let’s expect miracles.

Thank you for visiting. Please feel free to leave a comment, share this post or quote the author Marianne Irvine for Miracle Mama.com.

I look forward to posting new stories during the next few weeks.  :)

Miracles Will Happen When We Let Go of Fear

I’m happy to introduce a guest post by Jason Anthony of EvenMinds. Jason is an individual refinement and growth expert whose philosophy is, “Become a person of high character, integrity, quality and truth, and your life will be respectively enriched.” 

Jason writes self-development articles at EvenMinds. It’s a pleasure to have Jason share his wisdom on fear here at Miracle Mama.

Take it away, Jason.

What would you do if you could eliminate the single most important thing holding you back from reaching your dreams?

It took me close to 3 years before I gathered up enough strength and courage to start my own business. I had literally spent that time wedging other priorities and distractions in front of what I knew I needed to do, but just couldn’t execute.

My problem was that I was terrified and scared of the unknown. I was afraid to fail.

I’d make the attempt to be proactive and a flood of doubts and worry would overthrow my train of thought. I soon found myself submerged in some other activity which I’d pretend was just as important, only all I was doing was continuing to delay my dreams.

Whether dealing with a real or perceived threat, fear and self-doubt play a major role in how we interpret and interact with the important aspects of our lives. What may be the most significant factor standing between what we desire to achieve and what we actually acquire is our own self.

A Look At How Fear Slows You Down

If you think about it, there is a lot on the line when it comes to making decisions in our life. Failure, appearing vulnerable, physical and emotional damage, financial repercussions, risking your pride, your reputation, or even your life.

Some are horrified or tortured at the thought of stepping outside their comfort zone or breaking their routine, others with things like heights, snakes, flying, or public speaking.

Fear of loss is certainly frightening as well as fear of success (and the responsibility that comes with it).

Not only are we experiencing the discomfort in our minds, but we can have physical ailments, too. Increased heartbeat and perspiration, dry mouth, and an uneasy stomach to name a few.

One result of fear is tension, which is natural to want to avoid. When you have a distressing feeling triggered by the thought of embarrassment, danger, or hurt, its easy to look the other way or fail to take any kind of action.

Adjusting Your Perspective And Attitude

Playing it safe is a way to ensure your survival. As you become older and wiser, you tend to scrub the new incoming information against the truth’s that you’ve kept so close to you all of your life.

Since our beliefs and attitudes literally come from a lifetime of gathered information, it takes a conscious effort to recognize and adjust in the areas where we have the ability to gain the most.

Where we may have once seen the chance for failure, we now see the chance for opportunity. It’s a small shift, but what remains constant is the word, “chance.” The reality is that things could go either way, there’s no way to know until we take action or move toward finding out.

What may seem daunting and scary at first, may hold the greatest opportunity for growth, achievement, and advancement, or it may not. You are the only one who can choose to be proactive and find that out.

Defeating The Thief In Your Mind

Overcoming your fears and doubts is a pretty simple process after applying a few easy to learn ideas. I’ve gathered a few along the way which I would like to share with you now.

1) Embrace A Healthy Dose Of Risk

There cannot be reward without some degree of risk. We take chances of all sizes everyday. Think about how many times you’ve fell down while learning to walk. How many spills you’ve taken while mastering your bicycle without training wheels. Mistakes while learning a new job? What about the number of relationships and heartbreaks you’ve experienced?

Think about the value and substance behind each and every risk you’ve taken along the way.

Recognize that failure is a part of risk, too. You can learn some of the most valuable lessons by tripping up or falling short along the way. However, be careful and do not confuse caution with carelessness. Its one thing to be cautious in your endeavors, its another to completely disregard major threats.

2) Just Do It

If all else fails… jump. On a trip to Mexico I had a chance to swim in some of the most beautiful centotes (sinkholes filled with water) in the Yucatan Peninsula. Now, I’ve never really been one for heights, but at one stop I was presented with the opportunity to jump off a decent sized cliff into the water below.

After thinking about it for some time I decided to just go for it! I knew that it could possibly be the only chance I’d have to do something like that, so why would I pass up the opportunity?

3) Ask Yourself “Why?”

Why not go out and see if you can make a drastic difference in your life and the life of others? Why not give that new idea a shot? The beauty behind making a concentrated effort is that if things do not go as you planned, you can always take another look at it or try another way.

When it comes to your hopes and aspirations for the future, the sky should be the limit. Why not see what you can find out with the chance you have right now?

If by chance you still find yourself a little shaky or unsure about what to do, make it a point to weigh out the following: Would you rather live with the short term feeling of uncomfortableness, or a life long feeling of regret?

Jason Anthony is founder of EvenMinds, a personal development and refinement site focused on sharing ideas and inspiration with other like-minded individuals.

The Miracle of Anita Moorjani

You will love this story! I found this story because I spoke to a friend the other night who told me about a PBS special with Dr. Wayne Dyer during which he mentioned that he was healed from leukemia.

Interested in healing, I searched online and found a video of an interview with Dr. Dyer by Lilou of Juicy Living Tour. During the interview, Wayne mentioned Anita Moorjani’s book titled, Dying to Be Me (click title to buy book), the front cover of which reads, “My journey from cancer to near death to true healing.”

Then, I searched for Anita M’s NDE and found another interview by Lilou with Anita Moorjani. The details in this story were taken from the interview and I posted a link to the video below.

I am thrilled beyond belief to share with you the story of Anita Moorjani.  Like “The Miracle of Lester Levenson“, Anita’s story is about love in its highest and purest form.

It’s no exaggeration to say,  it’s a miracle Anita is alive today. In 2002, Anita was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. Reluctant and afraid to have chemotherapy, she opted to try various alternative treatments first. The cancer spread and in 2005 Anita was given a prognosis of three months to live.  Within six weeks of this prognosis, Anita fell into a coma.

Anita explains that while in the coma state she was actually in a really amazing and beautiful place where she was aware of everything that happened around her including how distraught her family was. In fact, she didn’t understand why they were so distraught because she felt so good. She was free from pain and suffering.

But, there was more, Anita felt absolutely surrounded by unconditional love so magnificent that words cannot explain.  She describes the feeling  like the warm comfort of  home.

Anita could see, hear and feel everything that was happening within the entire situation. She heard doctor’s talking about her condition when they were not even inside her room. She knew her husband called her brother to tell him the news. She had awareness of her brother and knew that he was coming to see her. While in the coma, Anita felt the presence of her father who died 10 years prior as well as the presence of her  friend who died from cancer.

In this state, Anita explains there is no time lapse, when she brought something into her awareness it instantly appeared before her. She was aware of other lives as though she lived other lives, but not as past lives, as lives that were actually happening then and there in front of her. It’s like all of time exists at the same time. Everything is happening in the present moment – past, present and future. Anita saw her future. She had a choice of whether she wanted to come back or not. Anita saw the outcome of both scenario’s play out.

The reason Anita had the cancer became incredibly clear to her. She explains she lived a fearful life. Everything she did in life was out of fear, not out of love for herself or for her body or love for who she was, but she did it out of fear for the consequences.  She realized, her life up to that point was a culmination of fearful thoughts.

Anita understood how all the fear she had accumulated in her energy and physical body created the illness she had. She realized that we are not supposed to live a life of fear. At our core, we are actually amazing magnificent spiritual beings who are supposed to express our truth and live who we are. We are not supposed to be afraid of who we are by pretending to be something else (a limited physical body with limited senses).

Anita also understood that we are all One, all part of the One consciousness,  all facets of the One Source.  Anita was able to feel the emotions of everyone she put her awareness on, every doctor, nurse, her mother, brother and her husband. Without her body, she realized that our bodies make us feel separate, in truth, we are not separate we’re all One and whatever we do and feel affects everybody. Whatever she focused her awareness on, she became it. Without her body she felt she was everywhere at the same time.

Anita explains that the only thing that is real is our emotions. This state stayed with Anita for weeks after she came out of the coma. She could feel the emotions of the doctors and nurses who treated her. The doctors wanted to do tests on her, she knew she was fine but agreed to the tests because she felt compassion for them.

This experience taught Anita that she is invincible, as is everyone, all of us.

At first, Anita didn’t want to go back into that painful body, but her father’s presence told her it was not her time yet and that she should go back. At the same time, it was made known to her that because she now knew who she truly was and how magnificent she was, her body would heal very rapidly and it would be a total healing. Her body would reflect the truth; that the body is not the real “Me”.  Her father told her to go back and live her life  fearlessly. After that, she awoke from the coma.

Anita understood that she had a purpose to fulfill, but that she wouldn’t have to work hard at figuring out that purpose. She just had to be herself, live life with abandon, allow and the purpose would unfold before her.

Once awake from the coma, Anita had no idea she was even in a coma because she was aware of everything that transpired during the entire time. About 27 minutes into the video, Anita describes how she  recounted the events to her family and they were in disbelief.

Within two days of coming out of the coma, Anita didn’t need the oxygen tube that helped her breathe, she could breathe perfectly on her own. Next,  she asked  to have the food tube removed from her throat because she wanted to eat real food. Anita felt very euphoric. She knew she was going to be okay, but everyone around her was being really cautious.

By the 4th day, the doctor said that her tumors had shrunk 60 or 70% just to the touch. The swelling went down and the tumors went down. Anita’s cancer healed.

The doctors continued to conduct tests because they didn’t believe the cancer was gone. Her oncologist told her, he didn’t know what to write in her medical file nor did he know what to make of her.

It took Anita some time to make sense of what happened to her. She was confused about what words to use to describe her experience. Was it her Higher Self? Was it God? What was It?

If she uses the term God she must add that God has no form. God is formless. Anita explains, the minute you put form on God you put limitation there. All she knew for sure was that something really huge had happened and that she connected with something. That something that she connected to made her feel that she was that something. When she was in the state without her body she was also apart of that something, she was everything, she was invincible, she was connected to everybody and every living thing.

Anita became the universe in that state. She realized she had the universe inside of her and that we all do. Anita describes, it feels as though we are all at the center of the universe. When you find that center place you can start allowing everything that is yours to enter into your life. It’s not about pursuing anything, it’s about allowing what is yours to come to you.

Anita’s advice

Relax and realize that the journey to creating our reality is to discover our Real Self, who we truly are. The more we discover our True Self the more we allow that which is truly ours to come into our life.  Once you know that you are an amazing magnificent being that is worthy and deserving of everything that you desire, once you know that you are worthy and you deserve love, unconditional love, in the way that you desire it, you only have to realize it and allow it in. We seem to believe we have to compete to have our desires met, but we’re all different, no two people have the same desires and the universe needs all of us. We are all facets of the universe and we’ve come to express who we are.

At our core essence we are pure love and that is the point at which we are all connected. When you are in touch with that and that is who you are being, you cannot help but be anything but pure love. The human form gives us our individuality, our ego self, and as long as we are expressing through our physical bodies the best thing we can do is accept our egos. Accept we are ego beings as long as we are expressing in the physical.

While we are in physical life we all feel separate from each other. Because we have physical bodies, we compete, we have crime. In our physical bodies we don’t feel the Oneness that we truly are at our core essence.

Anita’s message is; at our core, we are Love, when we are being our true self all we can be is Love because that’s who we are at our core. Don’t be afraid to be who you truly are — Love Itself.

The Lilou interview is 46 minutes long and well worth the time. Don’t worry about what you have to do or where you have to go, after all, Love is all there is. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Dr. Wayne Dyer, Anita Moorjani and Lilou Mace. The gift you have given us by sharing your Love and Light is immeasurable.

The Miracle of Recovery from Addiction

Cathy T. from Treatment Talk

It was a pleasure to meet Cathy a few months ago through the A-List Blogging Club. Cathy is doing remarkable work through her website, Treatment Talk, where she writes about substance abuse and recovery and provides well-researched highly credible resources. She is passionate about supporting recovery and people who want to live a live of inner peace and joy. It is an honor to have Cathy guest post here at Miracle Mama.

This is the guest post by Cathy Taughinbaugh of http://treatmenttalk.org

“It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” ~  George Eliot

Too often in the media, we hear the sad story about the celebrity who did not win their battle with the disease of addiction. My heart goes out to these families, but the success stories about people who are in recovery and are doing well are rarely published. Many people in recovery find it difficult to share the truth of who they really are because of the impact it might have on their life. The stigma of addiction can be just as harmful as the disease itself. It keeps people in the closet unable to disclose their past.

There are many, however, who have found recovery and have gone on to live remarkable lives. They have given back in creative ways, and helped others who have walked a similar path. My wish is that they were not invisible.

Here are four incredible writers whose work I have enjoyed and who have taught me new life lessons.They have found the courage to share their story intertwined within their own personal focus. Let me share them with you now.

1. Practice Your Priority

Rolf Gates is a yoga teacher from Santa Cruz, California and has written a beautiful book of daily reflection on the path of yoga. His book is titled Meditations from the Mat, Daily Reflections on the Path of Yoga. Rolf’s book has inspiration and spiritual guidance as he discovers and explains the beauty of yoga.

Rolf writes, “My very first practice was abstinence from alcohol through the use of the twelve steps. When I was about two years into that practice, a women asked me what I wanted in life. I told her that in twenty-five years I wanted to be twenty-seven years sober. She told me that if I continued to feel that way, it would probably come to pass.

Abhyasa, or practice, is really about making something a priority. As we enact that priority, an energy builds in our life to support it.”

2. Get in Touch with Your Own Creativity

Julia Cameron is the author of, The Artist’s Way, A Spiritual Path of Higher Creativity. The book reached the top 10 best seller list, after selling millions of copies worldwide. This is the book from where the infamous “morning pages” originates, and what Julia calls the primary tool of creative recovery.

“In 1978, in January, I stopped drinking. I had never thought drinking made me a writer, but now I suddenly thought not drinking might make me stop. In my mind, drinking and writing went together like, well, scotch and soda. For me, the trick was always getting past the fear and onto the page. I was playing beat the clock — trying to write before the booze closed in like fog and my window of creativity was blocked again.”

Julia’s book was the catalyst for many to have the courage to explore their creativity and follow their dreams.

3. Learn to be Fearless

Meet Steve Chandler. Steve, an author who has written dozens of books, is a world-famous personal success coach and a nationally recognized keynote speaker. I’ve just read my second book by Steve, Time Warrior, and as I read his books, the energy and electricity of his words feel like they are shooting right through the pages!

“I was one of them. A reactor. Big time I was sick, ruined, bankrupt, addicted to drugs and alcohol, lying to everyone I knew, especially the ones closest to me. A life of fear and more fear. The best I could ever feel, on my best day, was just worried. I was often okay with being worried. It was better than being fat-out terrified. But the terror would always return. And the pink cloud period of constant worry never lasted.

My life was saved by a recovery program.

Then, from there, I had the stunning privilege of learned to live freely.”

4. Talk About Your Shame

Brene Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston and has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity and shame.  She has written several books including, I Thought It was Just Me, and says that we can change our relationships and the way we live, if we can find the courage to talk about shame and it’s affect on our life.

“I started to get a clearer understanding of my own social dependence on alcohol. I quit drinking and smoking in 1996, the weekend I graduated with my master’s degree in social work. I was lucky. I had the information and tools to make that choice and found the support I needed to put down the sword and shield. I consider my journey in recovery to be one of the greatest gifts in my life.”

Many have found the gift of recovery. With the power of our collective voices may we begin to let go of the stigma of our past.

Cathy Taughinbaugh is a former teacher and mother of a crystal meth addict who has been in recovery for over 6 years. She writes on addiction, recovery and treatment at Treatment Talk.org. You can also follow her on Facebook at Treatment Talk and twitter @treatmenttalk.

How to Create Miracles in Your Life

I am very excited to introduce a guest post from a miracle man, M.Farouk Radwan. Farouk lives in Egypt. He is an author, speaker, coach, TV personality and dot com millionaire at the age of 28. Farouk’s code is, “Some people live their lives drifting in the wind; others harness the wind to go where they please.” That is so inspiring, don’t you think?

Farouk helps others through coaching and writing articles and books that are backed by psychology on the topics of relationships, self-confidence, breaking habits, weight loss and how to eliminate unwanted emotions. What makes Farouk’s books unique is the fact that he has personally experienced everything he writes about. There was a time in his life when he had no friends, no self-confidence, no skills, no courage and no personal strength. Through his own personal development, Farouk changed his life. Now, amazing and wonderful things happen. To Farouk, miracles are possible.

How to create miracles in your life

What is a miracle? It’s something that seems impossible to most people and that’s why they become amazed when they see someone doing it.

Life is not simple and in order to reach your goals you need to do miracles sometimes in order to keep going and to get what you want.

In this post I will tell you how to create miracles in your life.

This is how to create miracles:

1) Believe that it’s not a miracle: As long as you believe that you need a miracle to achieve something you will be programming yourself to fail. Once you start to believe that it’s possible to do that thing you are after, you will increase your chance of achieving it.

2) Get rid of false beliefs: Most people believe that they can’t succeed, that they don’t have enough resources to reach their goals and that they can’t do miracles. Once you break free from these false beliefs you will be able to do miracles and get what you want in life.

3) Persist: Life is not easy and miracles can’t be done over night. You might need to try for months or even years before you can do a miracle. Just be persistent, never give up and keep going.

My own personal story

In 2006, I told people that I want to make money blogging, but most of them made fun of the idea. By 2008,  my blog was 2 years old and I wasn’t making except few dollars per day (around 4).

At this point, continuing to work on my blog seemed like a miracle. I am not motivated to continue, my goal appeared unreachable and I was about to lose hope.

I can’t count the number of rejections I got along the way or the obstacles I faced because they are uncountable, but I kept going because I believed that I was writing superb content that deserved to see the light.

By 2010, I made my first million from blogging and if everything goes well I will be making the second this November.

For me, this is considered a miracle, but thank God I did it.

I believed in myself, I was persistent and I kept trying, that’s why it happened.

Written by M.Farouk Radwan

The founder of 2knowmyself

Okay, so, now that we know how to create miracles, what are we waiting for, lets all go out and do it. Yay! And don’t forget to email me with your miracle story so we can post it on the blog.

Please leave a comment for Farouk or myself and if you’d like to visit Farouk to see what he’s up to just click on 2knowmyself.

And by the way, I don’t have any affiliate connections with Farouk, I just think he is a neat guy who is creating miracles in his life and I wanted to share with you. Thanks so very much for reading and commenting.

What’s Miracle Mama Up To?

Miracle mama interrupts regular programming for a pain management break. RA disease has taken center stage recently. Blog writing is falling behind. If you wish to read about it, you can check it out here.

I’m calling on all you dear readers, to share your stories with us. Now is the time to dig out those memories of amazing and wonderful events, inspiring moments or changes in perception to share with others. Don’t be shy, just give it a try.

While the doing part is churning slowly, the planning part is tickety-boo. I have some ideas brewing. I’m planning to do an interview with an amazing someone who is creating miracles in her life.  It will be so exciting for me to do this, I can’t wait.

For now, I leave with a quote from author, Doug Coupland that I would so like to realize.

“Birds are a miracle because they prove to us there is a finer, simpler state of being which we may strive to attain.”

simpler state of being

Hope all is well with everyone. If you’re new to this site, welcome. Thanks for reading, I really appreciate your support and hope you are enjoying the blog so far.

The Miracle of Lester Levenson

This is a story about love in its highest and purest form. It’s a story you may find – unbelievable. This is Lester Levenson’s story. I love this story.

Lester Levenson, (1909-1994) was a physicist and businessman from New Jersey. In 1952, at the age of 42, Lester suffered a severe coronary attack. The doctor sent him home from the hospital as there was nothing more they could do for him. The doctor’s advice to Lester was to buy loafers because the bending over to tie his shoes would put too much stress on his heart.

Lester asked the doctor how much time he had left to live. The doctor didn’t know, stating that he could live another year to two or he could be gone tomorrow.

Despair

Lester went home to his New York City penthouse and prepared to die. He thought about swallowing all the tablets he’d been prescribed, but he decided to wait.

He wondered what life was about and what he was doing here on this planet. He thought about his life and how it seemed he had to fight for fleeting moments of happiness. Before his massive coronary, Lester had other health problems to contend with and he wondered how life could be so cruel as to make him go through all of that to end up with a dying body and nothing much else, at least nothing that really mattered.

Hope

Lester decided not to give up;  he wondered if he could use his mind to find an answer to overcome his current situation. He contemplated the question, what is life and wondered what he’d been looking for all his life. More questions surfaced about the nature of existence and Lester sought the answers in the books on his shelf. He had books on; Freud, Watson, Jung, Adler, books on medicine, physics, engineering, “he had books on everything”.

He realized the answers he searched for could not be found in books. Lester realized his problems were in his body, mind and emotions. Therefore, he reasoned, so must be the answers; within himself.

Answers

For the next month, Lester pondered the question, “What is happiness?” He thought about all his past relationships and incidents where he was happy. It occurred to Lester that he was happy when he was feeling loving. Lester surmised, “Happiness is when I am loving!”

Next, Lester looked at all the unhappy times and noticed that in these times he felt a lack of love and expected others to make him feel happy or loved. Then he noticed situations where he felt hate toward another and wondered if he could change the feeling to love instead, not for the benefit of the other, but for his own benefit.

"Happiness is when I am loving!"

The Practice

Lester practiced replacing the hate feeling with love and found that the burning sensation in his chest disappeared. Other scenarios came to mind and Lester worked at dissolving all negativity in each case. Sometime it took him hours working with one scenario at a time, while other times it took only a few minutes to dissolve or release the resentments and hurt feelings.

He worked through his entire life bit by bit and as he did he became stronger and stronger, happier and happier. In three months, Lester released so much of his negativity that he experienced a blissful, state of joy that made him feel light and everything became extremely beautiful.

Lester wondered what was beyond this joyous state. He found it was peace. Lester slipped into a feeling of undisturbed stillness and quietness. He’d found the essence of every living thing – Beingness. “Everything was It; every person was It.”

Amazing Natural Abilities

While in this state of Beingness, Lester thought of a friend he knew in California and wondered what he was doing at that moment. Immediately, Lester was there in his friend’s living room. “He could see the room, the people in it, his friend sitting there talking to them.” Lester phoned his friend to check-out his observations. His friend gasped and asked Lester how he could possibly know all of these details. Lester could feel his friend’s panic as if he were right inside his friend’s body. Lester realized his Oneness with everyone and everything “because his essence was the essence of all.”

Of course, Lester had to find a way to put his friend at ease again, so he told his friend he made it all up and it must have been a coincidence that what he made up was actually true. Then he chatted with his friend for a few more minutes asking him to visit the next time he came to New York.

With three months of intensive work, Lester released all negative thoughts and emotions and healed his mind and body. Lester began telling others of his experienced enlightened state and soon began speaking before crowds of many. For the next 43 years, Lester taught others to release and dissolve their negative thoughts and feelings so that they too could experience an enlightened state.

Here is the first part of a talk that Lester gave in 1964 on happiness. The taped recording has an introduction from the person who posted the talk on YouTube, but you will hear Lester himself speaking after that. For those who want to learn more, there are 4 parts to this one talk.

Some of Lester’s students went on to teach his message after Lester passed. The students (now teachers) I’ve come across in my travels are: Larry Crane, The Release Technique; Hale Dwoskin, The Sedona Method; Stephen Seretan, The KISS Releasing System.

Lester Levenson’s story is much greater than what I’ve written in this blog post. There are many more amazing abilities and moments that are shared in greater detail in some of his books. I love Lester’s story because his personal experience demonstrates how to rise above limitations through letting go of all negative thoughts and emotions, cultivating feelings of love, happiness and peace to realize that our true essence is in the One Beingness, not the separate individuals as we appear.

Nick Vujicic is a Miracle

In May of last year, I came across The most amazing and inspiring person.  Nick Vujicic.  Nick was born with no arms and no legs, yet despite this, he lives as though he has no limits. He swims, dives off diving boards, surfs, skateboards, plays golf, soccer and the list goes on. Nick’s life is full of adventure and he travels the world to bring his message of  “Life Without Limits” (title of Nick’s new book).

Life wasn’t always this way for Nick. While growing up, Nick was insulted and made fun of by his peers. As an adolescent, he wondered where he fit it. He just wanted to be accepted and be like everyone else. Often times, he felt lonely and isolated. Nick’s heart ached, he felt like a burden, negative thoughts overwhelmed him and he wondered what the point to his life was.

Then, something miraculous happened. Nick realized that his attitude about his life situation was coming from how he perceived his struggles. Through conscious effort, Nick changed the perception he held about his life thereby changing the very course of his life.

At 27 years old, Nick shares his experience at schools and businesses all over the world, challenging everyone to become aware of their perceptions teaching them to look beyond their circumstances to see an opportunity for growth instead of a problem to overcome. Nick says;

Regardless of your situation everyone can achieve greatness. We all matter and everyone has potential.”

Nick Vujicic changes lives. People write to him and send him messages from all around the world telling how he helped them. Some of the words say things like;

“Thank you for saving my life.”

“I just want to tell you how much you influenced my life.”

“It’s beautiful to see how you touch people’s lives and how they change for the better.”

“I love Nick’s perspective on life, and he has changed mine forever.”

It was not by accident that I came across Nick’s video and website last year, I needed to hear his message. If you know someone who is struggling, I highly recommend passing along Nick’s story, watching the following video and purchasing Nick’s book, “Life Without Limits.” The first chapter in the book is titled, “If You Can’t Get a Miracle, Become One.” I love it!

Without further ado, let’s roll the video! (It’s only 4 min.) You will L.O.V.E it!

Please leave a comment to let me know your thoughts and don’t forget to share, we never know who may need to hear this message right now.

Thanks for reading! I love to share inspiration!
