Namaste!
Book launch in
Amsterdam and The Hague.
Hello loyal readers! Here is my 50th E.S. e-zine with a fascinating concept I have come across from Unity Church teachings called, "Divine Ideas".
I have begun my spiritual studies again, informally, with Unity Church principles and hope to begin the more formal training with them through distance learning in the Fall.
My life is going through many changes at this point - changes I have asked God to provide. I am trying to practice what I preach and look for the Divine Ideas in these moments.
I have started my full time job at Expatica Communications in Haarlem, as their Sales Manager for The Netherlands. It is an expat community information provider and I am taking care of all the customers in Holland. I love it! But I had some heartbreaking moments to get this job, where my faith helped me.
I have stopped with 'Reiki on the Road', but still do healing work from time to time. I am still dedicated to be of service, but must take care of practical concerns at this point with income and family matters.
My 1st co-authored book called, How to Achieve a Heaven on Earth, will be launched in The Netherlands on April 10th and 24th. If you live in Holland, please come!
See under 'What's New?' for more information.
Thanks for still reading -
I wish you a week full of blessings and Namaste'...

A New Way of Looking at Prayer
It is common for people who pray, to ask for things or for things to occur as we want them to. Have you ever heard yourself saying silently in prayer,
"Oh, please God, let this thing come to me that will make my life so much better!" or
"God, please let me get this job that I really want."
or "Dear God, if You just let this one thing happen, I promise to be a good person for the rest of my life!"
These are requests that we make to God for material things to come to us or events to occur that we think we need.
The concept of "Divine Ideas" is that when we pray, we become aware of inspired ideas about the situation and not about the things.
These Divine Ideas come to us in the form of ideas that may flash into our minds in answer to prayer,or they may be conveyed to us through the word of other people, through books or magazines or billboard messages we come across at that particular moment when we are open to receive these messages.
Becoming aware of these hints and subtle messages allows God to communicate with you through these Divine Ideas.
Ask for wisdom about the situation and to rely on God to bring you to your best outcome; even if you do not get what you want - or think you want. God knows what you need...
So when you pray, do not ask for things. Ask for the patience and wisdom and awareness of Divine Ideas to "Let God do His thing in your life" and bring you what is for your greatest good.
"That upon which I focus shall manifest in me,
if I am clear with heartfelt vision; Surely I shall receive it." Mile Hi Church Affirmation
Namaste!
