| A Note from Vimala | |
By the way, when you notice I have included the letter "u" in such words as "honour" or "colour"--where we Americans traditionally have dropped it--it's not a typo.
Each time I receive notes from people in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania, for example, I realize that when I see that "u" appear, it has a sense of dignity, a feeling of class, in line with our beloved English language--so I've decided to include it in my writing as well.
No, I'll not be not substituting the "s" for "z" as in the British spelling of certain words because I have an ingrained fondness for the letter Zz and its resolute lineage. What a letter!

The initial of our first name (not nickname) represents a major issue we are here to confront, embrace, and go beyond. Once we master it, it becomes our greatest gift to humanity. In the past I have called it a "challenge." I no longer use that word, and suggest you follow my example and call it, "An opportunity for spiritual growth"---for it certainly is that. Our Story today is a living, breathing, transformational (!) example of this.

Dear Vimala,
I hope all is well with your daughter and you. I just wanted to let you know that through your handwriting system, I was able to complete my first year at University. I had no experience whatsoever about the English language. However everyday I would write the letters  and my creative ideas would just begin to boil over. I did and still do need help with spelling and punctuation. However the ideas are overflowing and for that I am so truly grateful. I know that without a doubt it is all down to your handwriting system. I am making plans that only people would dream of and I have no doubt about life.
Also I am so aware of the great need inside me to say thank you for helping me to complete my first year at school and for me attempting to reach for the stars. If there is ever anything that I can do for you, do not hesitate to ask.
So a great massive big thank you, if I could put two moons in the sky to show you how thankful I am. I would, however I have not mastered a way to do that yet.
In gratefulness,
Yvonne M.

When I wrote, asking for permission to have her testimony be a Story From the Heart, this was her reply:
~~~~~~~
Thank you so much for your congratulations. By all means you can publish it. Through your handwriting system I now appreciate everybody I meet in life and I hope to pass this wonderful handwriting system to everybody I meet. And thanks to you, Vimala, I am meeting a lot of new people. You just have to write, and as you said, doors are flung open. My tutor told me at the end of my course that I had attained one of the highest marks in the class and that I had a great energy in regards to my writing that was refreshing and which made him look at his teaching skills. I gave him a present of your book and told him to read it. I have extremely high hopes for my writing, and this is unusual for someone who never ever liked English! That was until I started to write the Vimala Alphabet. I am now on a path which is so unfamiliar to me but one of great excitement.
Seriously, Vimala---people need to know about this unique handwriting style, it so simple and easy to apply, you don't need to take medication, or need to talk to someone every week, or take too much alcohol to be able to cope with life. Just start to write and it will all become clear.
So do what you want with my words. I always be in awe of your handwriting system and yourself and I will tell the world all about your handwriting system by what ever means possible. So go ahead and tell the world!
Much love and gratitude
Yvonne

After years of study and research, Vimala Rodgers developed The Vimala Alphabet. Each letter shape is designed specifically to bring your hidden talents and abilities to life. As you begin to adopt self-affirming writing patterns, you naturally release those that are self-limiting, and at the same time you reconfigure the neurological patterns in your brain. This process is invaluable for people who are determined to let go of the past and stride ahead fully expressed in life. In scientific circles it is called neuroplasticity or cortical remapping. All it takes is pen and paper
Does it work? You bet it does! --- every time. Pick up your pen and experience it for yourself.

If you are among the courageous visionaries who want to transform their lives through the Vimala Alphabet technology, choose at least 3 letters:
- The first letter is the initial of your first name - not nickname, but your real birth first name. If you adopted a new first name after your 35th birthday, use that as your first name. By writing this letter, you will experience profound personal changes.
- The second letter is the Letter of the Week.
- The third letter is one you have chosen in order to bring about a specific transformation in your life. Choose a letter from the Vimala Alphabet Guidebook.
Follow these steps:
- Write at least 3 lines of upper and lowercase letters.
- Write on unlined paper in the landscape direction.
- No pencils, please. Use a pen.
- Begin by writing once, at the top of the page, the Declaration of Intent of the initial of your first name.
- Write the first and third letters for at least 40 consecutive days. If you skip a day, start over. 40 is the number of transformation; it takes 40 days for the neurons in the brain to realign themselves, which is what the process of adopting self-affirming handwriting patterns does.

Just as you have gifts unique to who you are, so does each letter. I call them "aspects." I'd like to begin our new venture by sharing one of those aspects, perhaps the most important one of all: the Guardian Protector.
Through the years I've studied hundreds of traditions throughout the world, and have found that within each one, there are such beings that we call called "angels" in English, yet are called by a different name in many traditions: devas in the scriptures of India, Al-Malaikah in the Qur'an of Islam, Malakh in the Hebrew Bible--and on and on throughout the world. To avoid religious distinctions, I call each one a Guardian Protector, because that is their role.
Trust me. They are as alive and attentive as you and I--just invisible, that's all--but fully present nonetheless. Create a conversation with them--then you will know. As with everything I teach, I insist that you do not believe what I say. To know in your heart of hearts that what I say is true, I suggest that you experience it by adopting suggested writing habits, along with applying the aspects of each letter, especially that of the Guardian Protector.

How often we brush aside comments that praise us for the way we look with, "Oh I bought in on sale," or for something we've accomplished, "Oh, it's okay---but I'll do better next time." The Letter  insists that you respond with an appreciative smile and a sincerely grateful, "Thank you." That's it. If the quality of self-abasement has been following you around since childhood, it may have prevented you from writing that book that's been spinning around in your head for years, or bringing that loom out of the basement so you can begin to weave all that yarn you have stashed in the closet. If this is the case, begin practicing the Letter today. It gives you the assurance that your gifts are special, and that to honor them you must express them---as only you can---then stand back in gratitude. The Letter will not only give you the freedom to speak openly about what you have created---or are creating---it will also give you the impetus to urge others who may be creatively stuck, to follow your example. You may even find yourself opening a studio or center where fledgling artists can refine their talents and get on their feet. Declaration of Intent: I acknowledge my gifts and talents humbly, with joy and gratitude. Guardian Protector: Sarasvati (Sahr-as-VAT-ee)---the goddess of music, knowledge, and the arts. Hindus are monotheistic, although with all their many gods and goddesses it may appear as though they are not. Each of these gods or goddesses is not a "god" unto itself, but each one represents one of the many qualities of the one God. Sarasvati, who represents the arts, is one such manifestation of the Godhead. She encourages you to be proud of your gifts and to express them freely---not "proud" as puffed up and egoistic, but rather "proud" as in grateful to have the talents you have been given and the ability to share them. Don't be shy. Still your mind and open your heart as you weave, write, draw, paint, sculpt, play music, or build that guitar---all the while speaking to her as you would to a close friend who knows you inside and out. Feel her presence! How to Inscribe the Most Self-Affirming Letter Uppercase: - Fill the mid- and upper zones with a cup-shaped expanded garland.
- Keep the sides straight, with the right side slightly shorter than the left.
- Dive into the lower zone and inscribe a loop 2-1/2 times the length of the cup shape.
- Have the width of the loop be the same width as the cup shape.
- Finish the loop at the baseline, brushing the cheek of the cup shape.
- Finish with a gentle arc to the right.
Lowercase: - A miniature of the uppercase, occupying the mid- and lower zones.

Some time ago our Newsletter Angel explained why the lower loops when we write become "high flying" loops in the newsletter. In case you weren't here at the time, let me explain, as simply as I can with my minimal electronic knowledge: The formatting we use won't allow the loops to 'settle down' where they belong, especially when they appear on a mobile device...and we know of no other program that will. If these misplaced loops still bother you, you might want to do this: Practice writing lines of the Letter  (patience), the  Ligature (non-resistance), and the Letter  (gentle acceptance of what is). You might also include a few lines of the initial of your first name, because that one letter holds within it your greatest opportunity for spiritual growth---a curriculum in itself, as it were.
Sursum et pergite! (Upward and onward!)

Founding principles of the
International Institute of Handwriting Studies

Last year, several "Handwriters for Peace" members requested, and we formed, an Alphabetical Prayer Circle through which members could ask for specific prayers in emergency situations and we would hold both those intentions with our own intentions in our prayers.
Because it's time to expand the Circle, I'm inviting you to join us. There is no need to become a Handwriter for Peace, nor do you have to give me your name, only your e-mail address, as I send all Prayer Circle Emails as BCCs. If you choose to join us, please send an e-mail to vimala@vimalarodgers.com with PRAYER CIRCLE in the Subject Box and this message: I'd like to join your Alphabetical Prayer Circle.
To strengthen our intentions, each day we agree to spend a precious 10 seconds once---or many times a day---offering our Alphabetical Healing Prayer:
Fill each of us with Your Healing Light:
those of us in this Prayer Circle,
all those we love,
and all those we have difficulty loving.
Thank You.
Also...In the course of the day, each of us devotes a few minutes of quiet time to write, on unlined paper, one line of the initial of our first name (not nickname) in both upper- and lowercase. Just one line; that's it...more if you care to. Read more online...
