"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle
and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true
beauty is revealed only if there is light from within."
~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
One of the things I enjoyed most while attending the Chihuly exhibit this month in San
Francisco was seeing the glass art sculptures glowing brightly with
brilliant colors, as if hidden lights were tucked inside each one. The
genius of these art sculptures relied upon the breathtaking contrast
between light and dark, so their true splendor came through most clearly
when fully lit and placed in contrast with dark surroundings. I looked up
at the ceiling to see well-placed spotlights shining down through the
gorgeous sculptures -- and I peered inside the sculptures to satisfy my
curiosity that they indeed had no hidden lights placed inside. Some art
pieces shone so brightly that they illuminated the entire room with their
beautiful multi-colored glow, and others smoldered quietly with gentle
warmth. In all cases, these sculptures reminded me that just as the stars
in the sky provide us with points of reference in what could otherwise be
complete darkness, we, too have the ability to shine for ourselves and
others.
Cynthia at the de
Young Museum, San Francisco
The light we shine is something that comes through us quite naturally,
sometimes giving others around us a feeling of being uplifted, at the same
time as we are uplifted as well. Scientific studies mentioned in the book,
Aura Advantage describe how this light we emit is quantifiable, and can
be measured, and we can verify through such studies that happier people
literally do "light up a room" much more than those who are not feeling so
joyfully radiant. In so-called dark times, when people are feeling more
stressed than usual, we can benefit from realizing that the amount of light
we welcome into our lives can make a tremendous positive difference in our
ability to consider more options and possibilities, while staying relaxed,
focused, and aware.
Knowing that we humans have a lot to do with how much light shines down and
through us gives us the ability to "take back the night," and reclaim a
sense of confidence in all places, times and situations we may face. You
can increase the amount of light in your world right now, by doing a very
simple meditation:
Imagine that every photon and ray of light that you can see and that
you can imagine in your immediate vicinity is now joining with you and
shining through you.
Breathe deeply, inhaling this divine luminosity into the essential core of
your own radiant being.
Exhale, and notice how you are becoming
increasingly more radiant, happy, and light.
Wishing you may discover just how good your life can get, Cynthia Sue Larson

I'm a longtime reader of your website, and especially enjoy perusing the
stories from subscribers.
My story is from the Northwest Territories in Canada, north of its capital
city Yellowknife, in an area called Rae-Edzo, a small Dene Indian
community. I was visiting my girlfriend Matty there, and one snowy day we
went out moose hunting with her two cousins and her grandfather. The old
man tottered behind us, poking his cane into the snow ahead of him. I
worried about him, and kept looking back to see if I could see him coming,
but no one else did. He eventually arrived at our campsite and spent the
day telling us about his hunting experiences.
The boys returned empty-handed and tired. We had a long trip ahead of us
back home and I think grandpa felt sorry for them. The winter light was
fading fast so grandpa started out walking ahead of us and we stayed by the
fire and ate the sandwiches we girls had brought. As soon as we finished we
set out to catch up with the old man. It didn't take long because he was
walking so slow. He told us "I will walk ahead of you a little ways. Follow
in my footsteps and don't look around anywhere." So we did that. I walked
in his bootprints and kept my head down, just focusing on the snow. Pretty
soon I felt kind of dizzy, like I was a little drunk. Everything went kind
of hazy and then we were home.
That walk back home must have been at least five miles long, yet it felt
like it took about half a minute. I wasn't tired at all when arrived back
at the house. Matty told me her grandpa had travelling magic but no one
knew how he did it. Even when the cousins used to have sled dogs, at the
end of the day they would run all the way home because they were hungry and
cold, but even though grandpa didn't get much of a head start, he would
always beat them home.
How did he do this, do you think? And how was he able to include us in his
reality shifting?
Note from Cynthia: Thank you so much for sending me your
wonderful reality shifting story... I love it! Accounts from people who
have been able to travel very far in a very short amount of time are
numerous here at RealityShifters, and while different people utilize
different techniques, it does seem necessary to be fully focused on a goal
of arriving somewhere by a certain time or in a certain (short) amount of
time, or as soon as possible... and then whether the person is walking,
driving, or as in your case, hiking through snow, they reach their
destination very quickly. As to why and how others can be influenced by
someone who is maintaining such a focus, it could simply be the combined
intent of all the members of the group to stay together, coupled with
Grandpa's gift for reality shifting to shorten trips.
Self-Starting Computer
Dave
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I have a second, old computer I keep. Monday, I heard a high pitched sound
and found this computer's monitor on and making the sound. I turned off the
monitor and the sound stopped (of course). I went out onto the balcony, for
about a minute, and when I came in I heard the sound again. The monitor was
back on again. I turned it off again (the phenomena didn't continue after
this).
Note from Cynthia:I've noticed that some computers seem quite
susceptible to people around them... sometimes switching on when someone
else is hoping we'll check our email, for example... or when we're
considering getting back on the computer.
Materializing Glasses
David
Jerusalem, Israel
We moved out of Jerusalem last week, preferring a village to the city. It
is beautiful here, green, green, green, unlike where we lived before which
was right up against the desert, so not very green. My daughter and her
family live in the middle of the Negev desert, it certainly has it's
beauty, stirring vistas, but different strokes for different folks. When my
eldest grandson says we should move there, I tell him I need to wear two
pair of sunglasses whenever we approach the Negev.
Another reason, crucial really, for wanting to leave Jerusalem was the
swirl of thick energies at the center of the universe (as Kryon says) and I
was finding it difficult. We had been living in Jerusalem for nigh on forty
years.
Now to the reason for this message: Last Wednesday I had to drive into
Jerusalem for final procedures in transferring our previous apartment. I
was tense because I didn't want to go back, not so soon after leaving. So
it can express itself in various ways. Mine was tension at night, and
wanting to have my spare pair of glasses with me in the car. Sounds like I
didn't want to be seeing the town. Not being the greatest navigator I
wasn't even certain how I'd enter the town center where city hall is
located. But on the way, intuition took over and I made turns without
knowing why I was doing them. Anyway, when intuition was doing what it's
supposed to I calmed down and even kind of enjoyed being in town.
So I wanted that spare pair of glasses with me in the car. But where could
they be? The house was disorganized with tens of cartons all over. I made
an attempt to find the glasses, but to no avail. I opened drawers but they
weren't there. What I did do was pull out a yellow pad and place it on top
of the chest. A few minutes later my wife called to me to say she'd found
my spare glasses. ON TOP OF THE PAD I HAD JUST PULLED OUT.
Note from Cynthia: What an amazing reality shift story this is!
Presumably you did not put
your glasses on top of the yellow pad, nor did anyone else come along
and place them there... meaning that somehow, these glasses showed
up in such a way to make your search for them as quick and easy
asÂÂ
possible. That's truly marvelous, and truly
amazing!
Hi, Cynthia, "Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and
need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth). Make the
growth choice a dozen times a day." (from Taking the
Journey Within, the September 2008 RealityShifters ezine.) I wanted to
express some thoughts out loud about the issue of fear and facing it for
the sake of progress. I really do agree with this, mostly, except that at
this point in my life I am facing a fear and working through it, although
using baby steps. This sometimes makes me feel like a failure "why aren't
you facing it all the way" is the voice I hear. Except that even with these
baby steps, I am experiencing such overwhelm, both emotionally and
physically, that I am listening to my body and deciding to step back from
something which feels as if it will cause complete physical collapse
(probably adrenal in origin), connected to childhood trauma. Now,
rationally, I know I'm facing this fear and not ignoring it, but it would
be lovely to hear in Abraham Maslow's message, that sometimes it is
necessary to slow down and listen to our bodies, and take things slowly,
while also not staying in the status quo of paralysis from fear. Sometimes
the growth choice is also being able to say "slow down" with this process
for now, "take a break". I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Warm
wishes and hugs, Shoshana
Dearest Shoshana, Yes, I like your thoughts on taking baby steps, on taking it slow.
This is actually what I do recommend and advocate to all my clients... that
we all have a choice, and that one of the choices is to remain where we are
for as long as we need to, before making steps to more directly face
whatever we fear. I don't know what Maslow's recommendation was for people,
other than that we all have what he called a "hierarchy of needs" in which
we must first deal with our most basic needs before we are able to deal
with matters which are not directly related to our survival. Slow and
steady wins the race. It's good to know that you are indeed facing your
fears as best you can each and every day, and that little by little, you
are seeing how your life is changing and improving as you make each small,
but steady, change. love always,
Cynthia
Hi, Cynthia,
I too see hearts everywhere, it's been that way for most of my life. I have
a huge collection of heart shaped rocks that come from my travels, they
seem to find me. I have always felt them to be signs from the Divine,
reminders, that it has and always will be about love. That is all there is.
Thanks for being a messenger of light. Namaste, Lynne
Dearest Lynne, Yes, I know what you mean about hearts! I see them everywhere,
too. That particular day my "hearts per minute" went through the roof...
and some of them were so spectacular it left me feeling in a state of
lasting awe and reverence all day. I agree that they are signs of the
Divine to me, too.. reminders that we live our life for love. Thanks for
sending me such a lovely message, and for continuing to keep your eyes and
mind and heart open to seeing love everywhere you look! lots of love,
Cynthia

SHAPESHIFTING
WITH OUR ANIMAL COMPANIONS takes readers deeper into Dawn Baumann
Brunkes world of animal communications to the realm of conversations and
merged consciousness with other living beings. The shapeshifting Brunke
describes in this book is that of sharing consciousness with others, and
thereby gaining newfound appreciation for other lifeforms as we let go of
our old ideas and habitual patterns, experience life the way other animals
live it, and gain a tremendously expanded knowledge and understanding of
the significance and spirit of all that is.
The idea that our animal companions in everyday life can also be spirit
guides is at the heart and soul of this book, as Brunke shares insights she
has obtained from her pet dog Barney that assist her in learning to blend
consciousness with others. Brunke's journaling of a variety of plant and
animal communications that ensue bring us along on her journey, which ends
up illustrating how we are all interconnected -- how we are all One.
The plants and animals who communicate with Brunke share wise messages
which sound much like the perennial teachings from long-established
spiritual faiths and traditions, which is what gives this Brunke's third
book on animal communication a much more spiritual tone than its
predecessors. As Brunke's dog, Barney, transitions from life to death, a
deep sense of eternal connectedness comes through the messages that Brunke
continues to receive from Barney, even after his passing. Many of Barney's
messages to Brunke remind us of simple truths which we so often tend to
forget, and can greatly benefit from taking time to remember... such as
everything you need is right here, right now.
I highly recommend SHAPESHIFTING as a book that can help you transcend
boundaries between yourself and others... even those who cannot speak, and
those who have passed on. This is one of those rare books that leaves
readers feeling a "reader's high" long after the last pages are read and
the book is placed back on the shelf, as it continues to work its special
magic in our hearts.
ENERGIZE
YOUR HEART provides readers with powerful techniques for healing
wounded hearts in a process that keeps the heart open to seeing greatness
in ourselves and others while practicing a simple yet profound method of
harmonizing breath and heartbeat. Once this method is mastered, authors
Puran and Susanna Bair describe how we can utilize it in every aspect of
our lives, from love and family relationships to our careers.
The basis of much of the approach of the Bair method of heart energization
is to help people better understand and master the six basic powers we all
possess, which are: intention, placement of attention, breath, physical
posture, self-produced sensation, and invocation. Working with these basic
building blocks, the Bairs then proceed to explain how it is possible to
observe the dimensions of the hearts of everyone you encounter... and to
begin to note the dimensions of your own heart... and finally, how it is
then possible to find strength in all areas of your life from the
dimensions of your heart.
What the Bairs mean by "dimensions of the heart," is that our hearts
possess depth, width, height, and an inner sense of who we truly are.
Descriptions of various types of hearts are provided, so we can better
recognize those whose hearts are deep, full, blocked, elevated, or driving,
for example. Examples of people who embody these various heart types are
provided clearly enough that readers will indeed recognize their
co-workers, family and friends... and begin to better understand the true
value of expanding the dimensions of one's own heart for more complete
happiness and prosperity in life.
What makes ENERGIZE YOUR HEART so special in the field of heart
consciousness books is how it helps readers make positive, tangible
improvements in their lives using tools we already possess. I highly
recommend this book to anyone interested in genuinely stretching themselves
to transcend life's challenges, everyone who wishes to heal their hearts
from pain of the past, and everyone interested in taking all their
relationships a quantum leap forward.
