I have had exceptional experiences with Theta brainwave entrainment, via music, meditation, and art. And you are right, the centralization and slowing of neural impulses instantly reduces chatter and invokes a deeply creative state. As I belong to a group called DavinciNation.org, we have learned to love our new, evolving and highly useful brain structures for greater good. I have cured myself of adrenal burnout, depression and all resulting, soul-destroying guilt and shame with the Davinci Method. I have recovered my fire and my potential, made all sorts of trauma made sense, and am just sweeping out the last bits of emotional debris and the scars to my psyche have faded to nothing.
Where the Davinci Method left off, your newsletter picked up, in terms of the actual permission I now give myself to be an artist, an empath, an Indigo child. At 46, I have stopped trying to be a business woman, and started being myself. While the full transition will take up to three years to complete, I have never been more centered in these divine gifts which were once a curse. I have greater courage in my own convictions every day, and am no longer afraid of the fire within, if you will allow.
So thank you, Michael, for sharing your convictions and clarity. You helped me raise the bar back to where it belongs, and gave me courage to take my rightful place under the sun again.
Namaste,
Amanda

An Artistic Rendering of Empathic Communication by Raline Starc
From reader Raline Starc:
An artistic rendering of Empathic Communication:
Caption: The diagram illuminates the notion that the advance of technology has facilitated the communication between individuals across space and time despite the physical barriers of a house, continent, or universe; a fundamental aspect of the way Empaths communicate without the aid of machines.

Listen to Documented Cases of Psychic Healing
I've done five recent interviews for a grant proposal that I am putting together to study the benefits of psychic healing. LD Porter is a longtime friend (and co-author of "Awakening the Genesis Within" book).
LD specializes in working with, and performing psychic healing on highly sensitive bodies.
Take 15 minutes to listen to some of these remarkable testimonies, and you'll understand why I have always been so intrigued by his abilties.

What If.....
By Rosalyn Harwood, Guest Writer
As an empath I spent many years feeling different, not understanding myself and not being understood at times by others. Lately I have been working on crossing the street into the sunshine and areas of positive possibilities. I have invited my gifts and talents to come along and play at this game we call life.
As a child, I was fascinated with art, and costume and fabric and texture and the whole area of tactile feelings. Being an empath, much of my information came through a "feeling corridor;" feelings were a language I was attempting to decipher. As a child, I dreamt of going to NY to become a Fashion Designer. I saw my future self winning an Oscar for designing a motion picture. My dreams were a great source of inspiration to me and at difficult times a form of solace.
Well, life took several turns and twists and I never got to fulfill my dream, but there it was in the back of my mind beckoning me to express. I still longed to create and transform items to things of beauty. After years of jobs taken to pay the bills and feeling my life force going down a drain, experiencing many emotions, many of them negative, I embarked upon a change this year and started doing my designs and creating wearable art.
Along the way a funny thing started to happen. I found that if I stayed in play mode that things seemed to flow. I learned to accept the feelings and stay with them. Since most of the emotions came through as a "feeling," at times I would have to stop and ask the feeling if it was "mine" or even what was all about. I found that sometimes like a ball of tangled yarn, I would have to unwind the apparent feeling to get to the core issue that was coming up for me to cleanse and clear.
As I practiced being playful and positive and accepting of what was being created, I also noticed a theme of help being provided by my team of "invisible helpers." I found myself being guided to inspiration on websites and led to books that taught me new techniques of manipulating fabric. Since I have always loved collage many of the pieces I created would be small samples that I would then lay aside, not quite sure why I had created them.
I was perusing the Amazon website when I came across a book on a designer from Holland, Koos van den Akker and I ordered a copy. When the book came, I opened it and got a major "ah ha" moment. Koos is famous for doing collage wearable art
pieces. In that moment I KNEW that I was being guided and taught on many levels and many planes. I realized how fortunate I was to know there are many realms and regions accessible to me as an empath that we are never truly alone, but connected to a vast network of helpers.
I now wake up each morning excited to see what the day has to bring and go to bed at night thanking my guides, angels and friends in spirit that have chosen to work with me. I know that I need never feel alone or different or less than as I connect with loved ones who have passed on yet still send us love and good thoughts. I am excited to open myself up to the many possibilities of accessing information to help myself and others through my gifts as an empath.
In the past, I often found myself battling with the critical self I accepted from others that said that I wasn't "good enough." Recently, I have learned to quiet that critical creature and I have learned to be more loving and accepting of all that was coming into my life. In my journey, I have looked over, under and around all those past negative events and have now, finally, "crossed the street." As I brought the negative emotions into the sunlight I asked to see what they were there to teach me. Mostly and always it was about loving and accepting myself.
I now live in the land of What If....What if being an empath is the 21st century equivalent of being a computer geek? What if the world will come to realize that there is more than what can be perceived by our 5 senses? What if our sensitivity is a great gift that can help the world? What if we see ourselves as the norm and learn to accept and acknowledge our worth? What if we collectively worked to envision a world of peace and plenty. What if we truly knew that our being here on Earth at this time was not a mistake, but a divine destination and it is all in divine order.
What if you woke up tomorrow morning and saw yourself and your life as a gift to be treasured?

Theta Waves: Neurofeedback as a tool for Connecting with Spirit
Neurofeedback has profound implications for helping people with addictions, ADD, and other unwanted neurological states. My friend is a leading researcher in the field of neurofeedback. She had extended the invitation for us to "play" with my brainwaves awhile back, and so I took her up on her offer.
We found that I could enter the theta brainwave state at will, and could remain in that state for long periods of time, which didn't necessarily surprise me. Theta waves are the slowest brainwaves that are produced when one is in-between sleep and dreaming. According to one description, "theta waves have been associated with states of enhanced creativity, super learning, deeper relaxation, and day-dreaming." It was a nice visual confirmation of the state that I enter when I do when I do inner power sessions with clients.
My friend and I talked for six hours straight about brainwave science and how this scientific tool is actually a method for people to tap into their highest selves. When we are in the theta state, all petty ego chatter and mental noise is turned completely off, and we are communicating with our highest selves.
My friend recommends the book "The Neuro Revolution: How Brain Science is Changing our World" and there are also other entrainment tools that get you into theta state.
Wherever you are, seeking out a qualified neurofeedback practitioner in your area will help you achieve the theta state.

Guest Post: Other people's pain leaving one's Body on Death
I would be interested to know if anyone has had the same feeling as what I experienced a couple of years ago.
About two years ago I was doing a study course in a location not too far away from where I live. Somehow the energy there did not feel right. The whole day I felt so much pain in my body I could hardly walk. I could just not figure out where this pain was coming from. At the time I just thought that it was the street and location but I was not sure if it was that. The next day I woke up and the pain had completely gone, disappeared, it was gone, nothing. I felt very light headed and had no pain at all.
I got a call from my mother and she had told me that my very kind uncle had died during the night. I knew that he had be ill for some time, but I was not focused on him and had not been thinking of him at that time. At first I thought the pain was coming from the place where I was at that moment. I am now sure that it was his pain I was picking up on.
Kind regards, Daphne from the Netherlands
