Peace my Beloved Family,For as long as I can remember I have desired to help people to be greater than themselves. In my typical style, I knew I would do this in a very BIG way. Even though I didn’t always know what helping people looked like for me, I knew healing was a major part of who I was.Through years of self discovery, soul searching, and studying various healing arts with many talented teachers and healers, the picture became clearer. As a result, Avalaura’s Healing Center was born. One thing I’ve realized along my journey is no matter how much you’re able to see, the full picture is always greater. It exceeds your wildest dreams and it can only be revealed to you when you are ready to see it. What’s presented to you is only a glimpse of what’s to come if you ALLOW it. Oprah often says “What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.” This has been the great truth of my life.I’m very humbled by the healing work I’ve been blessed to do over the last three years. I love hearing the inspirational stories from the people I’ve served, seeing their smiles and receiving their embraces. But through it all, I have always known there was more, that the work I’d begun was just the beginning. Being a healer brings many blessings, but it also brings great responsibility. Ayi Kwei Armah states in his book The Healers:“A healer needs to see beyond the present and tomorrow. He needs to see years and decades ahead. Because healers work for results so firm that they may not be wholly visible till centuries have flowed into millennia. Those willing to do this necessary work, they are the healers of our people.”This belief embodies the spirit of every aspect of the work I do. I know I’ve been blessed with a powerful gift and I’m determined to share it with the world. Many people have asked me, why did I choose to be a healer and how did I become interested in holistic or alternative healing? And I tell them very simply, this is the work I was born to do. This is not something I woke up one day and said, “ooohh wouldn’t it be cool to heal the world?” On the contrary, it is a powerful energy, a feeling, a passion that surges through every part of my being. I sleep with it, I eat with it, I laugh with it and I heal with it. This is what God has intended for me and I graciously accept the call. I am always searching for another way; a better way. I’m always working to improve my work. I’m always trying to figure out; how can I do more, how can I help people heal faster and how can I help people heal permanently. Finally in my search, I have found the ultimate healing. I have found that better way or rather it found me.My experiences in India expanded my awareness to further allow what God has intended for me. When I returned to the U.S., the next phase of my journey began. In my meditation I was introduced to the greatest healer I have ever known. He is a Muslim Sufi who comes from a long line of healers in the Gambia in West Africa. Although I was just introduced to him, God had been preparing him for me for four years. He was waiting patiently for me to arrive. And when I did, he embraced me as his child, as his friend, and as his student. Since the moment of our physical meeting, he has taught me everything that he knows; everything that Spirit has taught him. I can not tell you what a great blessing and gift this is. I am not Muslim, I am a woman and I am an American. All of these are obstacles to learning these sacred traditions and wisdom teachings that God has opened the way for me to receive.Through Marabout Spiritual Healing, I have been invited into a secret world that many will never have the privilege to witness. The Spirit world has embraced me with open arms and has shown me that miracles do exist. Through my work with Spirit; Spirit can create miracles in the lives of many. This allows me a unique perspective, a vantage point or as Armah says the ability to “see beyond the present and tomorrow.” This is the vantage point that I graciously share with you. Armah also states “Healers are just awakeners of a people who have slept too long.”Wake up! You have slept too long! It pains me to see people suffering unnecessarily. Agonizing from disease, limiting beliefs, curses and other evil influences and self imposed limitations. I feel frustrated when I hear the many stories of people poisoning themselves with chemotherapy to “cure” cancer, people enduring surgery for something that can be healed naturally, people experiencing the symptoms of sickle cell or HIV because western medicine has no cures, or people taking numerous medications for diabetes or high blood pressure when a healing herb is the answer. I am so tired of poverty consciousness and other limiting beliefs where people believe they don’t have the time or money for the very things that will change their lives. But instead spend their time and money on things that will never yield the results they seek.Wake up! You have lost your way. You have been conditioned to believe that the world you live in is reality. So when a doctor tells you there is no cure for a disease, then this must be true. Many of us believe constant suffering and enduring one bad experience after another is a normal part of our human existence. This is not so. The real world is the unseen world beyond us that governs our “reality.” And in this world EVERTHING IS POSSIBLE. There is a cure for everything; everything can and does heal. For what has been created can be destroyed and what has yet to be created, can be manifested. This is the work of miracles. This is the work of Spirit. This is the work I am humbled to help you use to change your life. But……Only if you believe!Only if you allow it!Only if you realize there is a force greater than you that allows healing beyond your greatest imagination!Only if you decide to stop complaining, stop procrastinating, use your Divine power and take your life back!Only then can you begin to witness the greatness God intends for you. There is a better way; don’t be afraid to believe in it, even if you can’t see it. Don’t be afraid to embrace it; when your opportunity for true healing is presented to you, even if you don’t understand it. Wake up! It is time for you to believe and embrace a better way!Love & Divine Healing,Avalaura

What's In a NAME?

(a healing poem)I said, “I don’t really know her.”Truth is, I’ve known her too well.As we’ve spent all of our life together, occupying the same human shell.Abused and confused, not understanding what was wrong.Because it persisted for such a long time;Its power had become too strong.Neglected, rejected, abandoned and let down,By those who were to love me and always be around.This healing search began long ago; but, would have never begun with me.For I constantly ignored the one identity needed to successfully set me free.Tolerated, never celebrated; I’d hidden her within myselfFocusing all my attentions on pleasing everyone else.So, bad choice after bad choice, with each one lower she would descend.The abuse was like a vicious cycle, not seeming to have an end.Until all at once and that time is NOW, I’ve decided I’ve had ENOUGH!I’m tired of living life settling while the enemy’s enjoying my stuff.So, today I’m taking back my heart and I’m declaring out loud, “I am free!”And I’m resting untangled in my Saviors arm, who’s given me this victory.For I’d come to fear the process of “LOVE”, the giving unselfishly of self;Too afraid that I’d have nothing left if I shared my heart with someone else.Now I’ve given it over to Jesus, my heart is safe in His care.It’s being healed, mended and restored; new desires are being set in there.God’s revealing His plan of Love to me;He is enlightening my eyes, enabling me to see:“Love on the Highest Degree” was my prayer;But deep within my heart I thought I’d never get there.For so long I have walked around brokenThe words were kept silent, never spoken.My eyes are refocused now that the scales have come off andI have regained some semblance of hope.I peer out in the distance at what can now be; all the love that is readily available to meAnd I sigh deeply, as if in relief.This inner healing brings with it such peace.The LOVE OF GOD is truly amazing.It is so powerful, it has set me free.I’m now liberated and able to love againAnd the first recipient of that LOVE is ME!!!Debra P. DeclouetBeloved – one who is greatly LOVED!Copyright 2008. Women of Destiny, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Four Steps to Positive Change

Four Steps to Positive ChangeSo here's what Mom and Pop never told us, because Mom and Pop never knew. Here are the four steps to deliberate creation, the four steps that are guaranteed-that's right, guaranteed--to bring into your life whatever is your passion and much, much more. They are guaranteed because they are universal law, the basic principles from which all creation has sprung. Now they are yours, if you want them.Step 1. Identify what you DON'T want.Step 2. From that, identify what you DO want.Step 3. Get into the feeling place of what you want.Step 4. Expect, listen, and allow it to happen.That's it. That's all there is to it. As you get into the swing of this remarkable new journey, things seem to magically change in every area of your life. Worries, concerns, doubts and fears go from a constant ever-present little hum to an uncommon occurrence in a matter of weeks, and you can actually see it and feel it happening every day.Your health turns around. Your bank account fills up. Your relationships do whatever you'd like them to do. Sales close. Promotions happen. Life becomes a daily joy. It's real. You can see it working. And then you know, you genuinely know, the only one at the helm of your ship is you.

What Kind of Life Are You Attracting?

What Kind of Life Are You Attracting?The Law of Attraction says that what we direct our emotions to will be pulled into our lives.Way back in the thirties a couple of guys in the Orient were attempting to prove that thoughts were real things, and that different kinds of thoughts create different kinds of vibration. So they decided to see if they could actually photograph vibrations of thought. And by golly they did, right through steel walls, an experiment that's been replicated many times since. (See From Enigma to Science, by George W. Meek, Samuel Weiser Inc. 1977.)But they also proved something else perhaps even more important. They found that the more emotion the thinker/sender charged his thoughts with, the clearer the picture turned out to be! These fellows were possibly the first to prove that there is magnetic energy attached to our thought, and that thought is propelled by our emotions. What they missed, though, is that because the vibrational waves (emotions) we send out are magnetically charged, we are literally walking magnets, constantly pulling back into our world anything that just happens to be playing on the same frequency or wavelength.For instance, when we're feeling up, filling with joy and gratitude, our emotions are sending out high frequency vibrations that will magnetize only good stuff back to us, meaning anything with the same high vibratory frequency that matches what we're sending out. Like attracts like.On the other hand, when we're experiencing anything that joy isn't, such as fear, worry, guilt, or even mild concern, those emotions are sending out low-frequency vibrations. Since low frequencies are every bit as magnetic as high frequencies, they're going to attract only cruddy stuff back to us, meaning anything of that same low frequency that will cause us to feel (and vibrate) as [badly] as what we're sending out. We may be flesh and blood, but first and foremost we are energy-magnetic energy at that. Which makes us living, breathing magnets.Crazy as that may sound, it's high time we woke up to the fact that we are electromagnetic beings tripping around with this mind-boggling capacity to magnetize into our lives whatever in the world we desire by controlling the feelings that come from our thoughts.But because we exist on this planet in a predominantly low frequency field of energy born of over six billion people who are vibrating more feelings of stress and fearfulness than joy, we involuntarily take in those vibrations and react to them. Which means that until we consciously learn to override the pervasive low frequencies in which we exist, we will keep recycling unpleasant outcomes into our lives day after tiresome day. Just like swimming in salt water, if we don't wash the residue off, sooner or later it's going to make us mighty uncomfortable.So, once again: Our feelings go out from us in electromagnetic waves. Whatever frequency goes out will automatically attract its identical frequency, thus causing things to happen-good or bad-by finding their matching vibrations. Like attracts like; it's a classic rule of physics.The more we think about something with even feeble emotion, the bigger and more powerful that something becomes in our life, regardless of whether it's the lack of what we want, or the thing itself.If we say, "I want perfect health," and think emotionally about perfect health all the time, we'll either have it now or it will be on its way. But if we say, "I don't want sickness," and think emotionally about that often enough, we're opting for ill health because our focus is on the sickness.If we think a lot about wanting a new house and can feel ourselves in it, it's on its way. But if we're constantly saying, "I don't want to live in this place any more," we'll be sticking around for a while.If we think emotionally about something long enough, whether it's something we want or something we don't want, it's going to be coming into our world, like it or not.What comes to us has nothing to do with what we're doing physically, or how worthy we are, or how good we are, or what our nonexistent destiny may be. It has only to do with how we are vibrating! Which means feeling. Which means attracting. Period!

Allow Good Things Into Your Life

Allow Good Things Into Your LifeBy using positive affirmations, we can build confidence and get what we want out of life.By Charlene M. Proctor, Ph.DEveryone gets off track from time to time – it’s normal and a consequence of living in a complex, stressful world. Attract abundance and maintain a good mental equivalent by raising your vibration. Raising your vibration means giving loving attention, or energy, to what you want. We get faster results by attuning to an idea of what we want and then allowing it to come into our lives, because we are already in a state of thankfulness that it is here. That is another reason we write affirmations in the present moment: there really isn’t any other time in our lives that is important. Live in the now, thank in the now, love in the now, and allow prosperity to happen in the now, knowing it is already present.When we concentrate on the effects of the world, rather than our supply, we lower our vibrational quality, making it much harder to demonstrate what we want. You’ve heard the concept of alignment and finding “center” from many spiritual teachers, achieved by chanting, prayer, meditation, chakra balancing, even martial arts or exercise. Those activities help raise your vibrational quality by helping you to identify or resonate with the true self, so that goodness can manifest. Essentially, you are attuning to your God-force. That is why in affirmations, we focus on the “I am” within us and align our vibrational quality with that of our God/Goddess energy.We do a pretty job of cultivating our own negative programming and often bring to the table a lot of negative assumptions about money and abundance that lower our vibration. You might recognize these.·It was never meant for me to have money.· I’m poor but clean (or good, pure, happy, content).· If I want to lead a spiritual life and be closer to God, it means I must have to give everything up. I’ll be like Christ (or Buddha, Rumi, Mohammed, Mother Teresa) because not having any material wealth means I am purer (or righteous, religious, going to get a better afterlife).· You can live a pure life only without material items.· I don’t want to learn about how money works – I’ll just let ______________do it.· I just want to spend money.· I only care about large sums of money. Why should I pick up a penny off the sidewalk?· It’s not worth my time, so I’ll just do a mediocre (or lousy) job.This shows overall disrespect for your true supply when it’s giving you an opportunity. Choose not to do the job instead!· Prosperity means I have to take something away from someone else.· I can’t enjoy wealth because I feel guilty.· I will never be able to afford that.You are building a “can’t afford” consciousness. You will bring more events and things into your life that you cannot afford.· I can’t imagine having a million dollars – I wouldn’t know what to do with it.· If I had a million dollars, I’d give it all away.·If I become wealthy, why should I be generous? I struggled so long, I’m going to let everyone else know how it feels not to have anything.· People who have money are wealthy snobs.· Being rich is selfish. You can have too much money.· Rich people consume all the world’s natural resources. I love the earth too much to be rich.· Money represents temptation and evil.· I don’t deserve what I really want.· I don’t want this deal not to work out.If you’re constantly worried about lack, you’ll attract it.· I just want to be rich.This one is particularly self-defeating, because you’ll spend your energy on getting the money without any focus on how to do it.You won’t be able to demonstrate the law of being with this type of mental muck. Start affirming that you are a prosperity magnet because you possess the boundless wealth of the universe without exception. Spend time raising your vibration. Say that you attract all good things today, not tomorrow or next week. Love yourself, praise your abilities in the present moment, and build feelings of confidence.· I am a prosperous, intelligent, capable individual who can do anything.· I deserve health, wealth, love, and happiness in my life. I thank the universe for my opportunities.· I pay my bills with love and joy…Come on, you can do this one!· I love that I have the ability to pay this bill, and I rejoice in the goods and services I have received as a result of this bill.· I see the abundance in the universe everywhere I go. I see it in myself.· I am a loving individual, who is part of unlimited creation; therefore, I am unlimited in what I can do.· I am my divine self and I choose to demonstrate my highest good. I prosper everywhere I go because I love life.· I am an open channel to receive my abundance from the universe. I am open to new opportunities.Remain open to the possibility that the universe is infinitely more creative than you in choosing the channel for abundance to flow through. If you outline exactly how you want to receive your good, you are definitely giving the idea some clarity. But be flexible. Devising a mental equivalent to own the winning lottery ticket might be a way to manifest abundance, but you are limiting the avenues by which good can come to you. Likewise, it’s great to visualize opening the front door to discover a huge basketful of money, but it is more likely that the universe will present prosperity through people and opportunities. Be attentive and keep your options open.Maintain high vibrational quality by practicing verbal harmlessness. Always extend loving thoughts to those around us. What you see in others is what you will see in yourself, and you’ll reproduce that vibration in your immediate environment. You are attracting that which you are, or think you are. If you are attuning to the highest vision of your true self, how can you go wrong? There are also two words you need to eradicate from your vocabulary: hate and try. Hate, because you can’t have hate as part of your mindset even if you are talking about the corned beef sandwich you had for lunch. Try, because if you say you will try something, it implies that you aren’t going to do it now, only sometime in the future.Learn to set a mental equivalent of gentleness and generosity and act with poise, grace, loving-kindness, ease, and serenity. You’ll be surprised how little practice you will need until you permanently internalize those peaceful qualities within and find others possessing those qualities who are part of your everyday experience.Practicing verbal harmlessness also applies to what you say about you. Nothing lowers your vibration quicker than self-criticism. Whatever you say about yourself applies to everyone because we’re the same soul substance – and what you see in a mirror is what you will see in every person in your life. If I say I am weak, poor, or broke, I am saying you are too, because we are the same substance. Further, if I say I am stupid, I have just called the Divine stupid – not empowered thinking! By putting yourself down, you are conditioning your mind to believe it, which means you are focusing on lack in yourself. How can the infinite self lack? Become conscious of the spirit within you as your infinite supply. Know that you are composed of perfect soul material. Keep your affirmations in the present tense, be positive, stop using hate and try, stop self-criticism, and know that you are already wonderfully rich.

I have read this Bible story many times. The woman with the issue of blood was recorded in three of the four gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke). I don't pretend to be a theologian, just a simple woman with a complex life and love for the Lord. After reading it this week, I realized this story held a promise for my business related issues. Please allow me to retell her story.This woman was like other women. She grew up learning all the lessons a woman learns; how to be a daughter, wive and mother. She spent her time devoted to her family and focusing on all their needs. She visited the temple regularly offering prayers to God to take of her children, to order her husband's footsteps in the the Word, to heal her aging parents. When her family's finances were short she prayed that God would make ends meet. She give her tithes and offerings and fasted according to Hebrew laws. Her efforts were successful. They must have been, we learned that she was able to pay for medical services.Then came the day when her life changed; she had a need and yes a want. She began to hemmorrhage and she wanted to be healed. She spent her all money on physican who couldn't help her. After, years of helping and caring for other-praying, giving and fasting for them; no one could help her with her issue. Her experience left her broken, with low self-esteem and a cynic. And yet she decided to try one more time. It is extremely interesting to see that she approached this issue differently than she had approched other issues in her life. She approached most issues head on but this issue she approached from behind. She approached Jesus from behind, bearly touching the edge of His garment and hoped that no one would notice. But Jesus did! The Bible tells us she was instantly physically healed but not completely healed by the touch.Like the woman with the issue of blood, we are often careful to give to God our families issues. We pray for restoration of our marriages, to go to another spiritual level, protection of our children or hel on our jobs (to name just a few things). But have we given God our business issues? Have you invested in computers, marketing and advertising in hopes of being a success but you feel that owning a business may have been a mistake. Don't give up.. it's not too late.Remember, the woman with the issue of blood, saw Jesus as her last hope. She approached Him from behind, bearly touched Him and tapped into His full power. It is not enough to just acknowledge Him, she could have done that by waving at Him from afar. She got close enough to touch Him. Her healing was not complete until after she worshipped Him (fell down at His feet), and told Christ the truth that she touched Him and why. In response, Christ gave her an identity (He called her daughter), assured her that her body was healed (by her faith and not His clothes), sent her away free all anxiety (He told her to go in peace) and healed her soul. He'll do the same for our businesses. If your business has isssues, reach out and touch Jesus.
