I marvel at the reasons people come up with about waiting to write, waiting to express themselves, waiting until they have time, waiting until they figure out what to write…

And the stories go on and on. My belief is: WRITE! Write until it becomes clear, write enough to flatten the doubt and decide that writing is fun! I tell many they would save a lot of money on therapy and healing if they would just write. Use the choice to express oneself as the liberator. Just the process of putting words to thoughts, feelings and spirit creates magic. Magic for you, but vastly more important, magic for others when you share. As you share your story, journey, choices and wisdom other people wake up. If you know there is more for you in life then I suspect you need to share more. The more you share the more you love, the more you love, the happier you become. Writing is one of the easiest ways to share love. If you have a story in your head put it on paper, put it on the computer and share it. LOVE! David

Look at the what the sun does to the snow from yesterday. It’s almost gone and the weather is becoming more Fall-ish, instead of dead-Winter. Anyway, things are looking and feeling great here in NM! More to come…love, David

The weather here in the Mountains of NM comes and goes very fast. I awoke to 3-4 inches of snow yesterday and it is hanging around today, but will all be gone by Saturday as the weather warms up into the 60’s. It’s easy to forget we are @ 7000′ above sea level.

Fall is definitely here, the weather is cool and brisk this beautiful NM mountain morning! I am here getting things ready for my visitors showing up for the weekend.

The remaining yellow delicious apples were picked off the tree yesterday. There’s still quite a few vegetables waiting in the garden to be harvested, some will journey through the winter. The greenhouse is still happy and alive! The tomatoes are bursting through the ceiling and producing nice red fruit. There is plenty of kale and basil waiting to be eaten. We will be eating well.

The garden is experiencing a tougher time with the temperatures reaching feezing now for about one month but the winter hardy have adapted to the colder temperatures and are holding nicely. Plenty of good eatin’ left!

So, as you can see there’s lot’s of life here in the mountains of NM. Happy Halloween to you! Love, David

HEALING is moving right along. We are just about finished with all of the elements - editing, interior design, and cover design. It is all very exciting to see this baby being born and I can’t wait to share this book with everyone. The last thing we are waiting for are some acknowledgments from writers and a few other people. In the midst of this industry standard procedure we are also VERY OPEN to everyone’s positive feedback of how the healing work has helped in their life. This can be in the form a short testimonial about your experience. Feel free to respond here or email responses to david@reluctanthealer.com. I would appreciate anything you would have to say. We are gearing to have an early 2010 book launch. As I say in this book, I am not concerned about personal attention or recognition, but rather I feel I have to reach out beyond my comfort zones to give this book the chance to do as much good in the world as possible.

I am answering some questions for book promotion and they are:

Why did you write this book? “Because I had to.” I answer. The interviewer waits for more of a response and mutters, “What does that mean?” I go on to say that I am aware of several books I have to write. This one has been speaking to me for about three years now. I have been working on and writing some of the parts of it during this time and to the best of my understanding it has been gestating and growing in consciousness during this time to match the needs of where humanity is stuck and ready for the next piece of information. HEALING is designed to unlock perceptions about love, exchange, Universal Energy Flow, and how these things are connected to health and well-being, and spiritual knowledge. I wrote this book because I had to share this knowledge in as simple and applicable way as possible. So that anyone can access it.

Who did I write the book for? “Everyone, anyone, you.”, I replied. Again met with more silence. I realize the questioner is looking for more. I go on to say. Everyone needing HEALING in some way, anyone needing healing, possibly you. There was still a feeling of the interviewer wanting more. I think to myself, “She really needs this book!”

How can one reading this book expect to be helped? The interesting thing I am researching as I answer this question is this: If someone has asked to help out and proof read the rough draft I am experiencing two things. The reader gets back to me in a week or so with pertinent comments about the book, etc. If the reader does not respond - and usually these are the people who have been bugging me the most about reading the early draft! - after a couple of weeks usually in the midst of these folks telling me about how bad their life is going I ask, “What page are you on in the book?” I am usually met with silence and then I offer the page number. I usually say somewhere between pg 21 and 36. I know they are stuck in the beginning of the book because they do not have self-love and exchange of this love in their life. It tells me the whole story. Of course I lovingly encourage them to do the exercises and get on with their work. (longer winded answer, huh?)

I am witnessing this book be a barometer of where people are in their lives with self-love and exchange. Once a person can get these two principles flowing in their life everything opens up. HEALING consists of more than thirty exercises to help the reader get on course with healing their life. There are lot’s of practical real life scenarios for the reader to relate to and realize most people share a similar level of lack of self-love, exchange, and connection to Universal Energy Flow. This book will connect the reader to their essence which will guide them the whole way.

Hope that helps. LOVE, David

Another excerpt from HEALING:

The true quandary at play here is most do not know what love is. We know what we have determined love to be from our family, romance novels, movies, friends, and life experience. It is like the old saying: ‘The goldfish knows about the ocean from its little glass tank.’

Let me say this again, love is the frequency that connects us to the Universe. Love is the true miracle maker when you allow it to flow into you from the Divine.

True love is Universal; it is not based on another human being. The love that flows through us to each other is not you and I, it is the allowance, the choice to let go and let the Universe flow through us. I repeat it is not you, it is not I, but rather the choice to allow something bigger than either of us to flow through each of us to the other. What we can control is the choice to let it flow, the choice to recognize the Universal Energy Flow in each other, and the beauty is in the recognition of the expression. How we choose to sparkle and vibrate with that energy, which is available to all, equally, is our choice.

No one is truly special to the availability of love. It is equal to all of us. No one determines how we are in relationship with love. We are the masters of our own choice to be love. No one else! When you get that, you can be free of negativity. LOVE IS! Love is accessible equally to all of us, and through us into everything we do, especially our artistic expression. That is why I am choosing to direct so much healing through the creative realm, which is running on the cleanest human, green, sustainable, eco-friendly fuel—LOVE.

Love, David

The question, “Are you a healer?” Is the same question to me as, “Are you a human being?” The way I look at healing is we all do it whether we accept it or not. We’re all healers whether we think we are or not. It’s not so bad really. It might be the same as saying I am a contractor because I build things. I am a mechanic because I fix things. I am a creator because I create things. I am an artist because I express things. I am a healer because I heal things. Ultimately I heal things through the power of love and all things return to their natural state of wholeness through the vibration of love. I am one with everything because I connect to all through love. This is how I heal and this is how I love. I am a healer because I love and I am a lover because I heal. There is no real secret to being a healer. It is as simple as choosing love to build, fix, create, express, and heal. We connect to everything through love.

Many think the word “healer” signifies a person with a special gift or power. In reality this is not true. The healer is everyone. The stamp of approval from the Universe is displayed when “you” choose love as your experience in this reality. There are other realities to choose such as fear, anger, and sadness. They are all reactionary byproducts resulting from not experiencing love.

But how to get people to understand love? How to get people to choose love? How to get people to trust love? How to lead people to understand, choose, and trust love? That is the issue for the creative artistic healers walking the earth now. Some of it is contemplation, much is education, and most is demonstration.

People have recently asked me, “Why is life such a dualistic experience? Why are humans so separate from love? Can’t we just focus on the oneness?” Oneness is a truth that some have attained, however I find most of the attainment is on a conceptual level. It is time for the creative healing artistic leaders to contemplate on the ways to bring this information forth to all bridging borders, boundaries, and cultures. The leaders have to find the ways to educate, teach, and demonstrate the healing power of love and the resulting connection to all things. I do not believe the concepts are new, rather they need to be brought forth in a vibration current with the time here on planet earth. They have to be brought forth in a way that includes the spiritual energy of the Universe (Universal Energy Flow) so that people can feel this untapped spiritual resource.

I am working on this process - step by step - some of it will we will be using this weekend in the Healer Training - Level 3 class in Los Angeles, which is about the Group energy. If you are around join us for the class, it will be special. Love, David

Several have been asking about why I wasn’t writing so much while I was in Italy, and I can say I absolutely had no time! However, I am back in LA for a few days and will try to catch you up. As before, I return from Italy in love with the people!! They are such beautiful spirits and I am so happy with the work that was accomplished! I usually say I sleep well after these experiences, however with the travel and the jet lag have not allowed there has not been much sleep, yet. I hope to catch up on that tonight.

Below is the picture of the participants for the Level 2 class in Verona. I have never been hugged so tightly and kissed on the cheek so much after a class. I am witnessing the power of HEALING come to life in the Level 2 class. The teaching around Love, Exchange, Universal Energy Flow, Value, and Abundance is coming through in a very clear way and I am very pleased about that. Enjoy the photo and I will be writing more later today. Love, David

Day 2 of Healer Training level 2 class is about to begin here in Verona, Italy. I think about the simple, deeply honest question yesterday, “How do you know when you have self-love?” For me the answer is obvious, but I know it is not the obvious answer Christof is looking for. I have to reach deeper. It happens to be the most beautiful moment with the weather in the afternoon. I look at the sunshine and the perfect temperature. I start the answer with, “It is always a good feeling inside my heart. This feeling connects me to all that is around me. My heart smiles with love, my heart smiles with the sun, the plants, all of nature. I feel connected, inclusive with all that is.” There are still some blank stares, of course I use my line…”Rome was not burnt in a day” I actually get laughs now! Progress!! I explain that self-love is a process of acknowledgment. I refer to the diagrams from HEALING. The diagrams are helping me tell this story and I explain self-love is the key to exchange, without self-love exchange will be off affecting all relationships. It was a good day. We move forward today building on these principles. I’ll let you know how it goes. LOVE, David

This is a work trip for sure. We have had healing sessions and groups starting early in the morning and running late into the night. By the time I leave here it will probably be the most healing work I will have done in a short 9 day period. I have been supported immensely by my friends Rita and Giorgio and I couldn’t have done all of this without them. As well there has been tremendous support from the folks here including Nello, Stefania, Donato, Marco, Beppe, Klara, Zoe, and Fred. Lot’s of good times, great food, and amazing people! If you know me, you know I am playing as I work! So, no worries…I don’t consider my work the kind of activity most call work. I consider this activity my calling, so it does not drain me of energy if I am staying conscious, playing and having fun!

We move into the Healer Training classes the next 3 days and I expect things to be even more incredible. It is a fascinating prospect working with people of so many nations and language. I am one of the least lingual but I am thankful for the clairaudience, it helps me understand a good amount of each communication. I understand now it is my bedtime as I need maximum rest for these days coming. Speak more later. CIAO, David
