I have finished cleansing and had my first salad last night in 10 days. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes piled high, juicy carrots and beets, scallions, a few slivers of yellow crookneck squash, topped with basil and cilantro. DELICIOUS! I ease off the cleanse the rest of the way today with my colon, kidneys and liver never feeling so clean. My energy is crisp and clean too, it is definitely all connected. I feel great!

I received some excellent notes from my “book people” and things are moving forward at light speed with editing and the next steps; although, I do need to clarify, someone thought I had written the whole book in the last month. I explained to her that I had been working on the material and writing parts and parcels for the last two years. This last month has been the time where I have worked to craft it all together and to weave in all the exercises, antidotes, and personal examples. Even though I don’t go back into my history much (that was covered in THE RELUCTANT HEALER), I use many of my own personal examples to give the reader as much relevance to the journey of HEALING as possible. I have to say as much fun as I am having writing this book my plans are to move right into the next one as soon as I wrap this one up. The ideas are flowing constantly and it is a book that has been bugging me for years. It’s the one on sexual healing. This book, HEALING has a substantial sexual abuse chapter in it, and it is still priming the pump for whole book. So, we’ll see how that turns out.

I will sign off now as I have to get back to editing. Stay tuned though because I will be including some photos of the greenhouse later. You have to see the tomatoe plants! Love David

I am celebrating with a smoothie right now. I just finished the rough draft of my book, “HEALING”, and have sent it to some “book people” to have a read through. Things are moving at a very nice pace, and I can affirm how much can be accomplished working 10-12 hours/day. Plus I have had tons of help from Katrina Rivers and Corrie Borris in getting this accomplished this fast. Not to get the cart too far ahead of the horse, a rough draft still means lots of writing and rewriting; nevertheless, I am in CELEBRATION mode!

I didn’t mention that I am cleansing and that is going great too - colon, kidneys, and now the liver! These opportunities don’t come along that often in my life, the way I have been living it, meaning I am usually busy working, and traveling. To be stationary for one month, exercising every morning, writing all day, and cleansing and eating homegrown live foods - Well - it doesn’t get any better than this! My body is getting the attention it has been needing, my emotions are getting some exercise as I am connecting to things with my writing, my mind is getting tons of exercise, and my spirit is happily getting the workout of this life! My spirit has never felt better.

So, that’s my check in. Thanks for being patient while I have been writing other things. I intend to get out a newsletter in the next few days, if you don’t receive my newsletter you can sign up for it on the homepage. I have a meeting with a wonderfully gifted illustrator, Charlie Griak to do the drawings in my book on Monday and I reconvene with the “book people” on Weds to get the lowdown about the draft. Life is good! Have a great weekend!  Love, David

I really love writing, and it is so true that writing (a book) is all about rewriting. The book I am working on is coming along amazingly well. I intend to have a finished rough draft by this time next week. Of course all that means is there’s still more work to do, nevertheless it’s a big milestone. I’m looking forward to getting there. These are all small entries right now because I am spending so much time with the book. Love, David

ps…if you’d like more to read and explore into check out the new post in the LIBRARY - Relationship Group excerpts

I can start off this entry by saying it is strange, but those of you that know me would not accept that because you know I believe there are no accidents. Lately every time I go to type in “good”, i.e. have a good day, in a good way, good night, etc. Whether it is me or my computer, or God? Every time when I go back and read it shows up on my screen as god day, god way, god night. Not just one or two times, but many more. Now I am to the point of, do I just leave it? Maybe I don’t need to correct it? Just leave it. OK, have a god day! Love, David

ps…the writing is going great! I have just finished a rough draft and this book is taking shape…

Lately people have been asking a lot of questions about ghosts, and entities. I am writing a little bit about this because it keeps coming up; it seems several are feeling touched…

Anyway, I always say those energies are as real as you want to make them. I am definitely not denying them, I am just very selective about where I use my energy.

At the core root of all disease, illness, negative energies, ghosts, entities, etc. is the seed of opportunity. In these cases the seeds are little parasites that embed as negative thought forms growing out of the feeling of no love, simultaneously being spoken by the negative thought form; whether these energies are thriving on anger, fear, or sadness. They generally have one objective; to extinguish spiritual light. They feed on the few crumbs of love a person may have for themselves.

I tell people to turn on the light, and the ghost will go away, the entity will lose its hold, disease will turn to ease, healing will occur; and the seeds of opportunity for the light - love and joy will prevail!

Love, David

Hey David,

An email to you has been jangling around in my skull so I thought I better get it down. Leading that circle on Monday night was such a powerful experience for me, and it seems to continue to unfold. So many of the things you’ve demonstrated - mostly the hard line you take with a person’s own resistance and excuses to their own healing - is really with me these days. I so appreciate the work you’re doing and all the other healers in the extended HT family. This morning while doing breathwork on my own with your Spiritual Meditation #4 Mp3, I began listening carefully to your words, because I kept feeling everybody’s verbal resistances from the group I did this past Monday, trying to figure it out how I was going to say the right thing to them next time we do the work together and then at some point, I just started “listening” more deeply. I noticed that it really wasn’t about the words you were saying at all, more about an energy that you were following and just sort of “reporting” on. I know this may seem obvious to you, but it was pretty monumental to me. While I laid there breathing, I began noticing that energy myself, inside myself. I got very excited to be a part of this work, because I realize that what you’re doing is the real thing and I so appreciate your non-compromise on issues like explaining it to make it more palatable to the mind, etc. I love your integrity with this work. Just wanted to say that. It makes it possible for me to show up and be a part of it.

I share this email not to toot my own horn, but maybe to listen deeper myself…just because I assume all of this is so simple and easy, does not mean it is. I mean in the simplicity of it all there is great complexity for some people, mainly because of their minds, but nevertheless it’s complex. I am trying to cover these bases in the place I am in the writing this book from, I keep spiraling deeper into what I am communicating so people can not only get the experience with the brain, but with the spirit. Onward! Love David

…saute’ lightly, add in 3 organic eggs and some roasted green chili, and I am set until dinner time!

Well my ego had a nice chance yesterday to tromp on me pretty good, but I avoided it’s lure. I was riding my bike up the mountain, honestly just a short ways. My conditioning is so-so at this point, and I am pushing it, knowing I was only going a few miles, and I hear these voices coming up behind me. I look back and see these two riders coming up fast. Normally in my past I would have bared down and pushed it as hard as I could to avoid being passed. Of course cycling was not a competition sport for me, I definitely have not competed on street bikes, and I’m on this old mountain bike…Nevertheless, there is a competitive streak still alive and functioning in there! My heart pumped one shot of adrenaline and I said “no” I’m not racing with anyone. Breathe, let go, be content, and the competitive streak did not have a chance, and why should it? I mean I was already pushing myself breathing kind of hard @ 8000′ above sea level and climbing fast, and these two cyclist passed me like I was sitting still. Of course these two riders were on the top of the line road bikes, and they were in exceptional shape. I managed to see the rips in their muscles as they zoomed past. I felt that one surge of adrenaline subside, and said to myself, those women are obviously professional cyclists, celebrate their athleticism! If you want to ride like that you have to put the time in, and right now I have writing to do. At that moment a huge butterfly brushed across my face, it was a gorgeous yellow butterfly about 5″ of wing span. I about fell off the bike! I sent the riders more celebration from my heart, it’s a good day! I breathed in more air and acknowledged this old mountain bike, and laughed, I may not be the hare anymore…but the tortoise will get there just fine. Enjoy your day! Love, David

As I was riding my bike this morning I was thinking about you. Yes, you! I was thinking about the reader, the person engaged with this book; and truly all the people I have ever worked with. So many ask me daily how do I love myself? Tell me how to do it?

One person who knows I am writing this book ask me for the third time, “I’m so curious to hear about the steps you lay out that a reader can take on the journey from self loathing to self love.”

I am thinking about this as I am pedaling up the mountain, no easy feat! I realize I am in my head thinking about these questions about how to communicate more about loving oneself. I am not connected to this moment, and I am struggling. This mountain is kicking by butt. And I look at my old bike, I expect it to get me up the mountain and back. I acknowledge this fifteen year-old lovely Stump Jumper Specialized mountain bike. I thank it for it’s service. I love myself in that same moment, because I have moved into a place of gratitude in my heart. It softened me.

Then I connected to my body, I felt my heart. It opened. I smiled. Love feels good!

I acknowledge my self and my discipline, I am riding every morning because I have committed to take care of my physical vessel this summer. I breathed in the clear mountain air. I received it in my lungs, my body pulsed with Universal Energy! I felt it. I loved myself, the Universe loved me, an exchange happened. I thought about you. Can I convey the simplicity of this to you?

Then I thought about the self loathing question? It’s as simple as being too caught up into oneself, and having little, or no awareness of the exchange with the Universe that happens when you love. Where does one place their attention - on the negative or the positive? Loathing does not make sense to me, why waste the time?

Back to more important things! I breathed in more air, blood pumped through my heart, and I smiled. Riding up the mountain with a big smile on my face! I felt the love, I felt the exchange, and the birds in the trees sang louder, or even more accurately, I could hear them because I became attuned to their song, and their love. Nature is love. I loved myself, and I acknowledged this exchange. I think about you, what if you don’t connect to Nature, does anyone not connect to Nature? Maybe someone loathing?

I shift back to the ride, I pedal on. Amazingly the ride has become a lot more easy! I am feeling my body, the blood pumping through my muscles, the air on my face, the beautiful trees, this Sandia mountain, and the birds!

I write this for you, receive the simplicity, and apply it. It works, love is a moment to moment reality, no matter where you are. It’s there just as easily in the big city, as it is here in the mountains of New Mexico. I am no more suited to a spiritual life, than you, I live a spiritual existence because I choose to, and I practice. Not perfectly, but I practice; I have discipline, and I pay attention. When I am choosing to love, be in the moment, and be exchanging love, awareness, and awe, with the Universe; magic happens. I know it sounds a little over the top, but it’s like paradise to me!

That is why I am writing, I have to share this with as many people as I can. I am love, I am connected to my employer - the Universe, and the energy flow here is infinite.

I continue on…love is flowing, and writing is my expression. Love, David
