    Destiny: Jonathan Ellerby: The Seven Gateways of Spiritual Experience

    Destiny: Jonathan Ellerby: The Seven Gateways of Spiritual Experience

    A journey through the seven most common and important spiritual experiences

    • Discover how to recognize experiences of the Sacred and integrate them into daily life for spiritual growth, healing, wholeness, inspiration, resilience, and connection

    • Shares intimate, firsthand examples of spiritual experiences and explores how they happen, what they are like, what they mean, and how they can help us

    • Presents simple exercises and common practices to enter the states of super-consciousness that lead to spiritual experiences and connection with the Sacred

    We all have unexpected moments that take us out of our ordinary lives, and into a sense of the extraordinary. Any one of us can have an experience that reveals our connection to the Sacred, through profound love, wisdom, or a radical shift in perception. Yet how often do we brush off these flashes of spiritual wonder, not realizing they can be stepping stones on the path of spiritual growth and personal resilience. As we acknowledge the expansiveness of the human heart and mind we access insights and feelings that help us to make peace with even the most difficult and confusing life circumstance.

    Through dynamic stories of firsthand accounts, Jonathan Ellerby guides us in how to recognize and integrate the spiritual experiences that are already a part of our life and those that we may yet pursue. As we explore the non-ordinary modes of perception and the super-states of consciousness that underlie them, we realize how spiritual experiences happen, what they mean, and how they can help us cultivate creativity, healing, and groundedness.

    Through simple exercises and sacred practices designed to expand perception, we go deeper and enter non-ordinary states of consciousness, which can enable us to have direct awareness of the fullness of life and higher consciousness.

    Providing a map for navigating sacred encounters, this guide prepares us to face life with passion, purpose, and resilience.

    Vickie Dodd: Healing Through Sound

    Vickie Dodd: Healing Through Sound

    Heal and align the body layer by layer through sound healing

    • Shows how sound, even humming, can change the body’s tissues, rearrange posture, and release long-held emotional trauma and stress

    • Explains how to listen deeply to the body and discover the rhythms of the areas to be treated as well as how to intuit the sounds required for healing

    • Offers practices to help you immediately release tension and explains how to use your voice to release emotional conflicts so your body can naturally heal

    You are made of sound. By listening deeply, you can hear the rhythms and stories of the audible body. With the power of the voice, you can heal the body layer by layer, awakening your cells while releasing long-held tensions, stress, and emotional trauma.

    In this guide to sound as bodywork, sound healer Vickie Dodd shares her system for addressing trauma locked in the physical body with the healing power of sound. Touching on the function of the nervous system and the parasympathetic breath, she reveals how sound travels the inner pathways of the body, eliciting responses from the body memory of tissues and muscles while bypassing the mind. Sharing examples from sessions with her clients across five decades, she explains how sound can change the body’s tissues, rearrange posture, and release undigested emotional experiences. She teaches how to prepare the body for the work of sounding and releasing and explains the vocabulary of healing sounds, in particular the power of vowels to start the healing process.

    Presenting experiential exercises, the author explores how to listen deeply and precisely to the body’s stories and discover the rhythms of the areas to be treated as well as how to intuit the sounds required for healing—your unique soundprint. She offers practices to help you immediately experience a release of tension and stress and explains how to use your voice to release emotional conflicts so your body can naturally heal. She explores how to sing love songs to your shadow, transform negative patterns into harmonious ones, and discover the grace and peace that arise as your body’s stories and tissues come to rest.

    Revealing the vast potential of sound to heal and transform, Vickie Dodd shows how each of us can dialogue with our own body for release, restoration, and vitality.

    Vickie Dodd, M.A., has been a sound healing therapist, bodyworker, workshop leader, musician, and internationally recognized pioneer of healing through sound for more than 50 years. She has collaborated with Don Campbell and is an adjunct faculty member at the Globe Institute in San Francisco. Vickie lives in Port Angeles, Washington

    Destiny: Blue Planet Red, Mars Lost Civilization

    Destiny: Blue Planet Red, Mars Lost Civilization

    Our universe holds lots of mysteries, but perhaps the most fascinating for most is the planet Mars, long thought to be the only planet in out solar system that may be the most similar to our own planet, possibly having the ability to sustain life.In Blue Planet Red, director Brian Cory Dobbs interviews a variety of scientists, researchers, and even people on the street about their theories and thoughts on Mars. The film makes some compelling arguments, but it also presents some theories that are just bonkers (Dobbs even warns us, the viewers, before those theories are explained, in a very Rod Serling kind of way). The film, as strange and far out as some of the theories may be, did manage to keep my interest for the nearly two-hour running time, and never succumbs to techno-babble or talking head syndrome, thanks to the many inserts of stock footage and quick cutting. My main complaint with the film, though, is the absence of any titles that introduce us to the speakers and what their credentials are at the time they are speaking on camera. Brian Dobbs was rather vocal about going against convention on the use of titles when he was a guest on the Home Theater United podcast, but in my opinion, they add a bit more credibility while viewing the film.

Two hikes across Catalina Island and eighty miles later, she learned to disconnect from distractions and reconnect with herself, all through the power of nature. Now, she’s encouraging others to get outside and blaze their own trail to self-love, turning buried traumas into healthy coping mechanisms.

    HEALING POWER OF NATURE: Discover how getting outside—even just for a walk around the block—can help you tune into your body better.

    HIKE YOUR OWN HIKE: Learn to love yourself as you are now. Go from eating, drinking, working, or spending your feelings to hiking your feelings.
