Ah-Man Freedom Newsletter March 2009
Hello Friend,

I hope that you took my advice last month to go and see "Slumdog Millionaire."  It appears that most of Hollywood shares my high opinion of the movie, as it captured eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)! 

I continue to post weekly at the Ah-Man Blog.  I invite you to visit, read my entries and leave comments.  You will find words of comfort and encouragement, as well as suggestions for coping with the major challenges of life.  And don't forget to sign up to receive blog updates.

PAIN AND FORGIVENESS
 
A different way of seeing pain and a new way of finding forgiveness.

This month, I am featuring a poem by Kabir, who lived in India 500 years ago.  Kabir was able to achieve a remarkable synthesis of Hindu, Muslim and Catholic beliefs.  Today, he still has millions of followers.

I want to share with you one of Kabir's poems that addresses pain and forgiveness.

I Had to Seek the Physician

I had to seek the Physician because of the pain this world caused me.
I could not believe what happened when I got there.
I found my teacher.
Before I left, he said, "Up for a little homework, yet?"
"Okay," I replied.
"Well then, try thanking all the people who have caused you pain.
They have helped you come to me."

I am certain that every one of us has experienced some type of pain in our lives, be it physical, emotional, mental, financial or spiritual.  On the flip side, unfortunately, there are many of us who have not had the opportunity to experience the joy and cathartic effect of forgiveness.

In this month's blog, I will be addressing the topic of pain and sharing a way for you to see your pain in a different way, freeing you of the binding effect pain has on all of us.  Please take a few moments to stop by and share your thoughts.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AND SPEAKING EVENTS

When it comes to learning how to cope and enrich your life, sharing the thoughts and experiences of others via blog can be effective, but nothing beats the healing impact of human interaction.  And that's what I provide at my workshops.  You will better understand your own life experiences and the resulting disconnections from your heart.  My goal - and passion - is to help you open your heart and find the freedom and joy we are all meant to experience.  Please share this information with those who have a need.

During this workshop a safe, sacred place is created for men and women to dig deep within to find the misconceptions that are blocking them from experiencing meaningful and honest relationships with God, self, and others.

You will learn how to discover your original disconnection to your old wiring so that you can reconnect, reroute and rewire your most primal thoughts, emotions and beliefs. This process helps those who have suffered with addictions or who are affected by others who have addictions, as well as those who suffer because of dysfunctional relationships, death of a loved one, emotional, sexual or physical abuse, those who feel the need for more in life, and those whose experiences have closed off their connection to their heart.

During this workshop, I will share my person journey from being completely cut off from my heart due to childhood abuse, drugs, alcohol and the loss of several loved ones, to finding Trust-Forgiveness and Acceptance in myself, God and others.  I will introduce you to the secret of being human and help you see your life from a different perspective.  After the sudden death of my fianc� two weeks prior to our wedding, my angels urged me to share my story. I rejected their urgings until I realized that sharing would help me and others heal.  My book, I Am Ah-Man, Man-Heart-Trust, goes into more detail about some of my more recent trials and tribulations, how I have learned to see them from a spiritual perspective, and how that knowledge helped me reach a deeper level of understanding and healing, and develop a simple, yet powerful process of helping others reconnect to their heart.  This workshop will help you better understand your own life experiences and the resulting disconnections from your heart. I will help you open your heart and find the freedom and joy we are all meant to experience.
