Dear Friends,

I can already feel that nip in the air that tells me summer is ending and Fall is rapidly approaching. I think of Fall as a kind of "sandwich season."  This is typically a period when I wind down from all the frantic activity of summer, and catch my breath before the holiday whirlwind begins. 

 

However, there won't be a lot of time for resting this year, for a very exciting reason.

 

I am excited to announce the publication of my new book "Returning to WHOLENESS...Discovering Ah-Man!" This has been a true labor of love, almost one year in the making.

 

I invite you to visit my Amazon Book Page for more details. And if you are so moved, I also invite you to purchase the book. And read on for an excerpt from a recent review of the book below. 

 

Be sure to let me know if you purchase the book, because I would be delighted to provide you with a complimentary 30-minute spiritual counseling session, in appreciation for your support.

 

And if you buy the book, please return to the Amazon page and submit a review.

 

We're currently revving up the publicity machine, and I'll be sharing updates on my interviews, appearances and experiences in promoting the book. So don't forget to visit the Ah-Man Web Site and Ah-Man Blog for updates.   
In the meantime, enjoy these waning days of summer!

Namaste,
Michael
THE END OF SUMMER

 

Yes, it's once again that time of year when the summer begins dying. For many of us, it signals the end of vacations, time at the beach, closing up summer homes, the end of the season for most baseball teams, and time to return home from summer adventures. The end of summer also sometimes meant the end of relationships (maybe to be renewed later...maybe not), and the end of so many more things.

 

But is it really the end? Or is it a morphing into something new?

 

Is death the end or just another beginning?

 

Seeing things in such a black and white way, i.e., a beginning and end, right and wrong, shadow and light, is at times helpful. But it can also be limiting and may bring unnecessary pain.

 

The limiting perspective that may come about from seeing life in this way also brings about a certain amount of expectation. We assume that because it happened a specific way last time it will happen that way again. And when it is different, we might experience disappointment or confusion. Of course, things can happen almost exactly like they did last time, but each year or each time you experience something, be it for the first time or the tenth time, it is different.

 

Allowing ourselves to know that each experience in life is different than the one before helps keep some of those expectations at bay, thus enabling us to see (or at least be aware) that it can be different this time.

 

Of course, there are certain circumstances in life that dictate when we take certain actions, we can expect certain results, such as: we buy something, bring it home and we expect it to work; or we ask someone to do something and they do it. And what if that merchandise doesn't work or that person doesn't do what we have asked? Did we have expectations? Yes. Is it all right to have expectations? Of course! So, I want you to use your discretion.

 

Challenging ourselves to step outside the box and see things from a different perspective will, over time, allow us to have more peace in our lives.

 

Over the next several weeks in the Ah-Man Blog, I will talk about life experiences such as death, loss of a job, and the end of a relationship.

 

As always, I enjoy your comments and when you share your experiences with me as well.  

  

FROM EMPATHY TO ACTION  

 

Following is an excerpt from a recent review of the new book Returning to WHOLENESS...Discovering Ah-Man:

 

Filled with tragedy and triumph, Michael's story (in the first part of the book) pulls in the reader, allowing for the trauma survivor to know that they are not alone. The exercises of the Ah-Man program are practical enough to assist anyone who is in need of healing, whether they are trauma survivors and just want a little help in their journeys.

UPCOMING AH-MAN EVENTS


Imprinting is an ancient form of instilling certain "Truths" into the core of our being...our Heart/Soul. By doing so, we help heal ourselves on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels, thus bringing us to deeper levels of Trust, Forgiveness, and Acceptance, which in turn enable us to live richer, fuller, more peaceful lives. 

 

I am excited that those of you in the New York area will have an opportunity to learn more about Imprinting first hand over the next few months. 

 

Following are the details:
