| Planes of Consciousness Teleconference Feedback
I've had the privilege of attending the last two Spring Intensives, where John has channeled energy from the seven higher planes of consciousness. So I was delighted to discover an unexpected benefit from participating in his first teleclass channeling these frequencies.
It was very neat to hang up the phone and realize I didn't have to try and recreate this experience and energy at home - I was already there. Bringing this energy into my home felt healing and reassuring. The teleclass helped create and hold a space for growth to happen, and all I had to do was make a phone call.
I encourage everyone to take the time to participate in the teleclass and experience these energies.
Love and light,

Dennis Drake
Teacher, Medical Intuitive, Channel
 Dennis R. Drake has been doing psychic work since he was a child of four, spending summers with his paternal grandmother, a medicine woman of the Black feet nation, in Browning, Mont. While living in the men's medicine lodge Dennis learned many of the old ways of the Black feet tradition.
Most of his early adult work was concentrated in the Amish/Mennonite community in Kansas, until his family moved to Unity, Ohio. Dennis traveled weekly between Unity and Greater Cincinnati to work with the sick.
In the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, Dennis is called a "Pow Wow," a name passed on to him by his maternal grandfather that honors the traditions he has learned. He has worked with John Friedlander twice a week for seven years and taught Levels 1 and 2 in northern Kentucky. He currently works with at least 2,500 people yearly as a psychic, healer, teacher, channel, belief-reprogramming specialist and medical intuitive, primarily by phone.
Dennis is qualified to teach Levels 1 through 4, and is comfortable teaching anywhere as he speaks Swiss, German, English and Portuguese. He loves to teach, from classes as large as 150 to private individual mentoring, helping people remember they are already psychic as they develop their natural intuition and healing abilities. Dennis lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife. |

Complementary Practices: Polarity Therapy
Students at any of John and Gloria's classes come by many paths. Many of us are familiar with other meditation techniques, energy and body work,and psychic and spiritual studies. In this section, Complementary Practices, members of this community will provide a brief introduction to other healing arts and practices to help us all discover universal truths.
This article is for information only. Neither John, Gloria nor the Grounding Cord make any explicit or implied endorsement by the inclusion of this information.
Namaste!
My work with John for the last five years has led me into exploring energy in the body, something that has fascinated me for years. The tools I've learned from John have proved invaluable in launching my study of Polarity Therapy, adding the use of my hands to my clairvoyant skills in sensing energy.
Polarity Therapy, developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, is a spiritually based, whole-person health care system based on the concept that energy fields and currents exist everywhere in nature and that the flow and balance of energy in the human body determines our health. Polarity principles apply to not only the practice of Polarity Therapy energy healing, but diet, exercise and our attitude toward life.
The Polarity practioner acts as a mirror, reflecting back the client's energy while helping release blocks and restore connections and flow. The client remains clothed during a polarity session while lying on a massage table.
The practioner's touch ranges from off-the-body energy sensing, to a light touch, to deeper, massage-like movements to help free energy blocks in the body. The energy balancing and release through Polarity Therapy can help ease pain, aid healing, lessen stress, promote relaxation and help you reconnect with your body's energy on a deep, elemental level.
Dr. Stone, who developed this system in the 1950s, was a very spiritual man who was an osteopath, chiropractor and naturopath. When none of those disciplines produced lasting changes in his clients, he turned to Chinese and Indian medicine for answers. His understanding of the missing, vital link - energy and its movement - is the basis of Polarity Therapy.

Health & Happiness Feedback
The first Health & Happiness Seminar was held by John on July 15 and 16th. After the last several exercises on Sunday, John had us announce to the world that we had changed. And some of us experienced some pretty powerful changes both during and/or after the seminar took place. I've been studying with John over a year now, and this seminar brought on the most physical reaction in my body to date. I was thankful for Rose's email regarding Kriyas, reminding me of the message John and Gloria had sent out after our intensive. It helped me to understand some of the challenges I was experiencing getting back my "self" after a very transformational weekend.
I'm sure you all are curious. I had a wonderful day with the group on Saturday and felt quite uplifted. It was one of those days when I felt quite psychic. I was able to see things in my aura and able to describe what I was experiencing. I was grateful that I was getting so much from such an important weekend. But going into Sunday and starting with the first clearing, I couldn't concentrate. My mind was racing and I couldn't push thoughts out that were coming into my head. As the day went on, I felt down and even weepy at times, and even became upset with several things that were said during the day. I felt I wasn't accomplishing anything, and I was so disappointed. This was a health and happiness seminar and I was expecting to leave the weekend feeling joy, happiness, vim and vigor! I didn't even complete the last exercise - I felt I was in resistance to what was going on. On my ride home I began to experience an extreme tiredness and by the time I got home, I felt sick and had no energy. And I felt myself being very angry. It was troubling to me that I was very impatient and quick to get upset. I felt as if I was going backwards instead of going forwards. I went to bed. The next morning, I felt as if I wanted to call John, but then I started to feel a bit better during the day. John asked for my notes I took during the seminar, and so when I sent the email I explained to him what was happening with me. He went on to explain that I had gotten 10 times more out of the seminar on Sunday than I had on Saturday. He said I had huge stuff in my aura and I was working on clearing a big picture in my third chakra. He said it was anger from many lives. I hadn't written to John about being angry on Sunday, only that I felt ill. I know he's right. I've had a lot of anger in this life also.
I know you all have heard it from John many times. What's in the way is the way. It's so very true. Isn't it ironic that my reaction to such a response was that I was going backwards? I know that after I clear this picture that I will have made leaps and bounds towards better health and happiness because I will have cleared away some of that anger that I have been holding onto. Thank you John!

This system and tools assist us in using our body, mind and spirit in receiving everything we experience as feedback and information. As we allow ourselves to receive this feedback from a neutral space and own it as our own, we can then accept it from a perspective of amusement and discovery to playfully process what it means to us.
Processing life experiences in this way allows us to lovingly and gently evolve to our highest and best, responding from our purpose and supporting others. As we become more proficient and establish a state of ease and flow with these tools, our "knowing" of our body, mind and spirit connection allows us to play together with others to achieve a state of cooperation and collaboration, allowing us to awaken the love and unity from which we have been created and are to live our highest expressions together.
Everything in our life is feedback. A healthy and appropriate body, mind and spirit connection helps us to regulate and maintain a space of amusement and discovery to accept feedback from a place of neutrality, to establish and respect boundaries, process our feedback, own it and use it to heal. The feedback we experience brings out separation, fears and grievances that block our energy flow, hide our true nature and hold us in a pattern of believing we are separate, competing, victims, etc. Using these body, mind and spirit tools helps us to claim and restore our natural power and abilities to feel and express love and forgiveness and wake up to the reality of who we really are.
While many people have been exposed to this type of work in some form, what is missing are practical tools to put it "all" together to take action on our need to "Be" and "Become." Many have gotten a taste of what it can be like to be conscious and aware. This system and tools are an important bridge to help folks put it together and use their body, mind and spirit connections to heal and evolve.

Foundations in Psychic Development I: Boundaries and Flow
Learning how to be aware of, and how to transform our aura transforms our love and life experiences. In this seminar, every exercise furthers the development of at least one of the two basic abilities: finding one's own psychic energy (one's own authentic impulses); and clearing blocks to progress. Students learn how to ground and run energy, how to clear blocks, how to find, clear, and repair the chakras, and how to explore deeply the entire volume and frequency range of the aura (called the layers of the aura).

Foundations in Psychic Development II:
Space, Seniority, Neutrality and Spiritual Fuel
In this two-day workshop, we will develop a deep understanding of how we use our own aura space to create our reality. We begin with psychic explorations that familiarize us with our space, and how we subdivide it through resistance to others. We can then learn to create our aura space through awareness rather than resistance. In the resulting neutrality, we become able to create our reality less and less through resistance to another, and more and more from our own spiritual fuel.
Prerequisite: Level I |
Foundations in Psychic Development III: Seeing Auras
In this two-day workshop we will explore the psychic anatomy of clairvoyance, or seeing auras; how to activate and empower this perception; and several ways to use this ability in making decisions, in healing oneself and others, and in deepening one's understanding of oneself and others. We will then move to actually doing comprehensive, systematic psychic readings in partnership with fellow students. Participants usually find they can easily increase their ability to perceive genuinely useful aura energies in just this one weekend, and that they are well started on the adventure of a lifetime.
|
Foundations in Psychic Development IV: Channeling
Learn the clairvoyant mechanics of skillful channeling -- how to prepare your space for channeling by running an ever clearer white light vibration while still owning and governing who and what occupies your space. This requires clearing psychic agreements, karma, and thought forms that distort both ordinary awareness and channeling.

Health and Happiness: Connect with Your Body!
"Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood," said baseball great, Satchel Paige. This amazing athlete was so in touch with his body that he could actually sense the health, or lack of health, of his blood stream. We also can begin tracking aspects of our body not normally available to conscious awareness such as: where in our body do we have imbalances of heat, cold, damp, etc. as spoken of in Chinese medicine; where is a there a blood vessel that could use a healing; or what "hormones" can we mentally increase or decrease for better health or mood, and how we can, in fact, influence their flow and amount.
Developing such an awareness allows us to heal ourselves and others more effectively. Great healings can be done without this kind of physical awareness by using energies of higher planes, and in other seminars we study how to access and use those higher plane energies. However, something unique and richly meaningful is added when we stretch our awareness and gain that intimacy and direct experience of the body in its own realm.
As part of this overall exploration of the body in its natural realm, we will explore how different emotional states like sadness, hunger, joy and happiness arise in the brain and body, and begin to explore how we can alter these states, to some extent, intentionally. One benefit of developing such an awareness is that we become less rigid in responding to emotional states, we become more creative, appreciative and playful with our emotions.
This seminar will allow you to begin to develop a skill set over time to connect with and benefit your body in ever deeper, more meaningful and more joyful ways.
