Endings and Beginnings

2010-02-28T06:27:00.000-08:00

All journeys come to an end when they
reach their destination; we've arrived at the end of my month-long blogging journey. Along the way, we've traveled through many of my books, blogs, and websites.

You can see my books (ones I've written and others that I've edited and published) in the Amazon widgets on the sidebar; there's a full list of my blogs and websites a bit further down the page.

The end of this journey is really another beginning, a new journey. I'm working on a
new book... a 365-day journal of reflections and musings from your spiritual self to you. The daily entries will help to remind you of who you really are... a powerful, spiritual being of light.

At the beginning of this month, I offered a book giveaway to someone who came by my blog and left a comment.
The winner is Julie; she can choose whatever book she wants from the books I blogged about this month.

Thanks to everyone who visited and read my posts. I've enjoyed traveling with you. Come back and visit whenever you want. And remember... the joy is in the journey.

Psychic Senses

2010-02-26T06:43:00.000-08:00

to look inside all our experiences to see what they're really showing us and to pick up on the energies that are all around us.

Psychic Senses: How to Develop Your Innate Powers offers you many ways to open up, explore, experience, and understand the innate powers of your mind as it shows you how to redevelop and

Magical Mind, Magical Life

2010-02-25T06:59:00.000-08:00

Your mind is magical... you are magical.

Magical Mind, Magical Life offers you many ways to open, explore, experience, and understand the magical power of your mind. It's a guide that shows you the way to living a magical life, filled with happiness and light.

You can make your life everything you want it to be and more. You have this magical power within you now; it's not something new or something you have to learn. All you have to do is look for the magic within yourself--look within the power of your own mind and put that magic to work for you.

This is a very special book and I've created a Magical Mind blog to show you how special and magical you really are.

Tomorrow, we'll explore more of the magic within you and see how
to develop your powers of intuition.

Cooking Two Cookbooks

2010-02-24T07:34:00.000-08:00

I've got two cookbooks simmering in my mind and on paper. But first... what's the difference between chile and chili, besides the spelling? Chile is the hot pepper and chili is what you make with
hot peppers that usually includes meat and beans, though in some parts of the country, beans are a big no-no. Which brings us to two cookbooks that I'm working on, one with chile and one about chili.

Hatch Chile Cookbook offers 300 recipes for freshly-roasted Hatch green chiles, as well as
a history of Hatch and fun chile facts. These are the best chiles in the world! When you
eat them, you feel like you're in heaven. For recipes, and more information about these delicious hot and spicy chiles, visit my Hatch Chile Heaven blog.

Chili: A Bowl of Red is filled with 300 bold and bodacious chili recipes--some with and some without beans--from the chili capital of the world... San Antonio, Texas. It also offers the colorful history and lore of chili, from Texas cowboys to the first chili cook-off in Terlingua, a probably-true San Antonio chili cook-off story, the legendary Chili Queens, and much, much more!

Tomorrow, since we've been focusing on food for the past several days, let's return to a magical path to see how magical we all are.

Creating a Cookbook

2010-02-23T06:18:00.000-08:00

A cookbook starts out just like any book--with an idea and a desire
to write it. I wrote my first cookbook, Really Good Recipes, as a
lark because I thought it would be fun to do and I wanted to share
my recipes. It was fun and it was definitely a learning experience.
One of the first things I learned is that a cookbook is so much more
than just recipes; it's filled with a theme and a story line, and lots
of enticing tidbits.

Since that time, I've written and self-published 3 more cookbooks,
and had another one (Foods and Flavors of San Antonio) commercially published. I'm currently working on a second Tex-Mex cookbook that my publisher asked me to write, as well as two others.

I also teach cookbook-writing classes through NEISD Community Education and am writing another workbook that offers a detailed, step-by-step approach to creating a cookbook.

Tomorrow, I'll share two cookbooks that are works-in-progress. I hope you like spicy food. I'm serving both chile and chili, and will explain the difference between the two.

Recipe for a Cookbook

2010-02-22T06:06:00.000-08:00

As I mentioned in a previous post, I write cookbooks as well as New Age books, because we all have to eat! I love cooking and creating new recipes. Being a writer and a cookbook author, I wrote a recipe for cookbook authors... Recipe for a Cookbook: How to Write, Publish, and Promote Your Cookbook.

It includes all the ingredients that go into making and marketing a cookbook. Here's the back cover blurb:

Whether you're a great cook wanting to share your recipes, or you want to pass down Grandma's secret recipes through your family, or you're a chef who is writing a cookbook, or your church, school, group, or organization wants to produce a fundraising cookbook, this book has all the ingredients you need to write, publish, and sell your cookbook. The recipes for success take you through the process from beginning to end--from appetizers through desserts.

Recipe for a Cookbook is filled with extra helpings of information, ideas, and inspiration. It's a guide that serves up plenty of know-how and generous portions of how-to for preparing, writing, and serving a cookbook. Inside this book you'll find everything you need to know:

How to develop your cookbook's taste and personality;
How to collect, test, sort, and write your recipes;
What to include and serve on the side in your cookbook;
Decide whether to self-publish or pursue publication;
How to format, typeset, and illustrate your cookbook;
How to make your cookbook stand out from the crowd;
101 ways to find and sell to profitable markets;
How to promote your cookbook to all the right people in all the right places;
Contests to enter your cookbook in to win awards;
Catalogs and websites to showcase your cookbook; and
Comprehensive resource guides for cookbook printers, distributors, book reviewers, and much more.

This book offers you all the ingredients for creating, cooking, and serving your cookbook with style and flair.

In addition to the blog where I share tidbits of cookbook-writing information, there are also pages which offer more information about the book, as well as links to cookbook printers and recipe sites.

Tomorrow, we'll travel to a cookbook class.

Writer's Workshop

2010-02-21T08:01:00.000-08:00

The writer's path is a journey... sometimes a long and circuitous one. I've traveled this path many times; sometimes it's a walk in the park, other times it's a rocky road. I've been teaching writer's workshops for the past 18 years, guiding writers along the path to a published book. I currently teach through NEISD Community Education in San Antonio, TX; the next one is scheduled for April 8th. The workshop focuses on helping you write a book proposal that will get you an offer and a publishing contract for your nonfiction book.

But writers are everywhere, so if you're a writer, I invite you
to visit my Writer's Workshop blog, to explore the site to see what's offered and to decide if the information will be helpful to you as you journey the path to becoming a published author.

Tomorrow, we'll take a side trip on the writer's path to explore
a recipe for a cookbook.

The Path to Publishing

2010-02-20T08:04:00.000-08:00

Writers journey through a publishing path to get their books published. One of the steps to getting published is writing
a book proposal. My newest book, published a few days ago
by Riverstone Publishing, is a guide along the writer's path.

From Book Proposal to a Published Book offers everything you need to know about writing
a perfect book proposal that will get you an offer and a publishing contract for your nonfiction book.

From finding the right publisher
or agent, to writing your book proposal, submitting it correctly, understanding and negotiating a book contract, all the way through being edited and finally seeing your book on the bookstore shelf... this book has it all. It clearly explains what to do and how to do it, and what NOT to do to get your book published.

I love helping writers get published. I know the absolute joy that comes from holding your published book in your hand for the first time. Tomorrow, we'll continue on the writer's path to a workshop that can help you make your dream of getting your book published come true.

Soul Shimmers

2010-02-19T08:40:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time, somewhere inside a dream, a rainbow whispered to me, asking if I wanted to travel a rainbow path to reawaken my spiritual self.

Would you like to take a wonderful journey into a magical, mystical place where you can follow a rainbow path to open the true reality of your physical world and explore the multidimensionality
of your soul, to remember and rediscover all the knowledge you have within you as you awaken to your spiritual self?

Soul Shimmers shares my rainbow journey and invites you to travel your own rainbow path to see the shimmers of your soul and the light within yourself. Somewhere inside your dreams, you'll see a rainbow path that leads you within. Follow your dream and awaken to your spiritual self.

Tomorrow, we'll travel a different path... a path to publishing that writers follow to make their dream of becoming a published author come true.

Parallel Lives

2010-02-18T08:08:00.000-08:00

Do you ever think you're someone
else once in a while, but can't quite remember who you are? Or maybe you dream about events that seem to be happening to someone else, yet you resonate completely with them--as
if they are happening to you?

Parallel Lives is based on my past
life in Egypt and the parallels to my present life.

But this book goes beyond reincarnation; it explores the concept that we're living all our lives at the same time in different dimensions of energy in parallel realities. It shows how all our experiences--in the past, the present, and the future--affect and alter one another. It also covers the concept of parallel selves--the unity of our physical self with our spiritual self. Told in story form, it invites you on a mystical journey within your soul.

Want to continue traveling on a mystical path? Tomorrow, we'll journey along a rainbow path into Soul Shimmers.

Mystical Mindscapes

2010-02-17T08:28:00.000-08:00

Mystical Mindscapes is my main publishing company and my main website. It offers a look into my New
Age books, sharing an overview, table
of contents, and full chapter excerpts, along with some reviews.

Mystical Mindscapes was created from a rainbow... from Somewhere Over the Rainbow, my novel about the reality of reincarnation that offers a lighthearted look into the ups and downs of being spiritual in a physical world.

I began writing it in 1988, right after I finished writing Discovering Your Past Lives. It's based on one of my past lives in Egypt and the parallels to my present life. It took me four years to write... it was a labor of love... and I searched for a publisher for three years. No takers so I decided to self-publish it and Mystical Mindscapes, my publishing company, was born.

The main character, Lavender, is a writer. There's a chapter in the book titled Mystical Mindscapes; it's about writing and being in a world of words, and that's how I chose the name for my publishing company.

Tomorrow, we'll be taking a mystical journey into Parallel Lives.

Morpheus... The God of Dreams

2010-02-16T07:30:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I mentioned we'd be traveling further into the land of dreams and meeting Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams. We're not actually meeting Morpheus today... we're exploring what Morpheus represents.

He brings shape and form to dreams, and has the ability to interact with us in the dream world and to change our dreams.

Since I'm a writer, I love playing with words and seeing what they mean. To me, Morpheus means to morph... to change from one
form to another, just as our dreams have the ability to change in form--from what we may perceive to be just a dream--into a real- life experience.

I named one of my imprints Morpheus Books, because of what Morpheus represents and what the books we publish represent. Morpheus offers us the ability to transform (morph) ourselves through what we dream about. We offer books that help us
"morph" ourselves into who we want to be and thus, enable
us to achieve whatever we desire.

Our books help us dream our life the way we want it to be...
whether we subconsciously dream our life at night when we're
sleeping or we consciously create the life we want to live when
we're awake. We publish books on the law of attraction, positive mind power, meditation, creating your own reality, prosperity consciousness, reincarnation, and healing, as well as visionary
fiction and a few children's books.

Tomorrow, we'll be visiting Mystical Mindscapes, the parent publishing company of my imprints, and discover how it was
created from a rainbow.

Life is Just a Dream

2010-02-15T08:05:00.000-08:00

Are you dreaming or are you awake? It's been said that all of life is just a dream...

Dreams are a bridge between
your conscious and subconscious awareness. They're so much more than meaningless mind meanderings. They offer you a way into your mind and your inner awareness.

Inside your dreams, you have access to everything you've always wanted to know and more. Your dreams help you in every avenue of your life and you can do anything you want to do with your dreams.

Life is Just a Dream offers you your own personal dream journal
as it opens many dream doorways. It's a guide into and through the realms, realities, riches, and resources of your subconscious mind and your dreaming self.

It explores the concept that life is more than just a dream; perhaps we're really awake when we think we're asleep--or maybe we dream our dreams into what we experience to be our reality.

In addition to showing you all the items to keep in your dream journal and offering a dream dictionary from A to Z-z-z-z, this book shows you how to clearly remember all your dreams; decipher and interpret your dreams; plan and program your dreams; give yourself pre-sleep suggestions to influence your dreams; and understand your dream symbology.

Life is Just a Dream covers more than dreams. It gives you a look into astral projection and includes explanations of lucid dreaming, daydreaming, wakeful dreaming, and dream weaving. It invites you into a magnificent night-time panorama of pictures played on the screen of your subconscious mind and offers you the opportunity to experience conscious excursions into your dreams as it bridges the span between wakefulness and sleeping, and brings them together.

So... are you dreaming or are you awake? Tomorrow, we'll venture further into the land of dreams and visit Morpheus, the Greek god
of dreams.

A Love Meditation

2010-02-14T07:58:00.000-08:00

Since today is Valentine's Day, a day of love, I'd like to share with you a love meditation, excerpted from my book, The Complete Do-it-Yourself Guide to Past Life Regression.

This meditation completely opens
your heart to love, and allows you
to let go of any and all hurts. It fills you completely with so much joy and happiness that it will spill over into every part of your life, touching everyone you know and everything you do.

Today, right now, is a day of love. It is a day for enhancing relationships, rekindling feelings, letting love into your heart, and opening up your soul to expand the love. It's a day for bringing love into your life or for strengthening the love you have. It's a day for forgiving past hurts and freeing yourself to move forward. It's a day for healing any hurts in your heart. It's a special day for all kinds of love: Romantic love, parent-child love, special friendship love, and most especially, it is a day for loving yourself.

Love begins within, then expands outward to encircle everyone in your life with love. As you send the love out that is within you--the love that is within your heart and soul--it resonates and radiates energy and returns to you many times over. Today is the day to love others, to love their souls. Today is the day to love yourself, to feel the love within you, within your soul.

Feel totally, completely, unconditionally loved. Let this feeling fill you until you are overflowing with it, until your heart is completely filled with the joy and happiness and feeling of it. Love surrounds you so completely, and totally immerses you within its vibration, that you and love are one and the same.

Love is in the air. Breathe it in. Breathe it out. Breathe it inside you; feel it circulating within and through you, opening up your heart, freeing you from any and all past hurts, letting them go in an easy, carefree, loving manner. You feel so filled with the blessings and bliss of love that there is room for nothing else. Pure, powerful, wonderful, joyful love courses through your entire being.

Feel this love permeating every part of your life--past, present, and future. Feel it radiating out from you to everyone in your life. Feel
it surrounding you in every situation, in every relationship, and in every experience. The more love you give, the more love there is to give. The more love you give, the more love there is to receive. See everything totally filled with love and surrounded by love. See and feel every part of your physical body completely encircled and embraced with love, inside and out.

See and feel your mind growing and expanding into love, letting
the light of love shine in all your thoughts. See and feel your heart totally filled with pure abundant love--a special, soulful love that radiates and emanates through every part of you, flowing within
and from you, like a rhythmic, pulsating heartbeat, like the breath
of life in a dance of harmony with all that is around you and within you. Breathe it in, breathe it out in a joyful sharing.

See and feel every part of your entire existence filled with this beautiful, wonderful, magical, powerful, mystical energy vibration
of love. See and feel your heart and soul completely immersed in love. Share this love with yourself, with every thought in your mind, with every emotion in your heart, and within every experience your soul has ever had. Share this love with everyone you know. Surround them all in this vibration of love that courses through your being and radiates from your heart, mind, and soul.

Is love a dream? Or is it real? Is life just a dream? Or is it real? Tomorrow, we'll be exploring the land of dreams.

Take an Inner Journey

2010-02-13T08:02:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we took a past life journey which brought us into the present. Today, let's take an inner journey.

Inner journeying means going within
to your inner, spiritual self. There
are many ways to do inner journeys; meditation and creative visualization are wonderful avenues that lead you within.

Inner Journeys offers 71 guided visualizations to help you journey within--to travel on the wings of
your spirit and reach into your
heart, mind, and soul.

The meditations and visualizations inside Inner Journeys originated from special journeys in my mind, secret places in my heart, and sacred spaces in my soul. They're guided imageries, worded in a
way that will draw pictures in your mind and lead you within... to experience special journeys in your mind, secret places in your
heart, and sacred spaces in your soul.

To learn more about the book, please click the link above and read this previous post.

All of life is a journey; the journey within to your inner realms is just as real as the reality you experience in your day-to-day activities and experiences. Explore what your inner self has to show you and listen to what your soul has to say.

Tomorrow, we're looking for love.

Past Life Journeys

2010-02-12T08:33:00.000-08:00

I recently launched a new Past Life Journeys site which features books and information related to reincarnation as well as how to do a past life regression for yourself.

If you’re interested in exploring your past lives, and would like to journey into the vibrations of your soul, come on over and visit.

I’ll be doing a series of “Tuesday Travels” which will lead you on a past life journey and is in harmony with a new book I’m writing— Past Life Journeys—which guides you into and through your past lives from beginning to end, as well as offering 15 different scripts for past life journeying.

Tomorrow, let's take an inner journey.

Pueblo Publishing

2010-02-11T07:38:00.000-08:00

Over the past few days I've taken you on a trip through some of my publishing imprints. Today I'd like to share Pueblo Publishing, an imprint which is focused on Southwest food and folklore. I haven't officially launched it yet, but wanted to offer you a look.

We have seven books on our list set for publication this year. I'm especially excited about the Native American Legends and Lore trilogy that Feather-Wolf is writing, sharing the stories and history
of Native Americans that have been handed down from generation
to generation. These books share a rich and deeply spiritual legacy.

We also have some forthcoming cookbooks on our list, reflecting
the flavors and tastes of Texas and New Mexico. Come by and visit us, and be sure to stop by on July 1st for the grand opening.

Tomorrow, let's continue our travels and take a past life journey.

The Write Way

2010-02-10T05:33:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I mentioned that food is knowledge and that knowledge feeds the soul. The knowledge we acquire as we're traveling through our lifetime on earth comes from our experiences and from books. Where would we be without the knowledge contained in books, the knowledge that writers share? People have been writing words to share their knowledge since the beginning of time.

I was a writer in a past lifetime, I'm a writer in my present life,
and I'll probably be a writer in a future lifetime. I love books. I love reading. I love being a writer. It's as necessary to me as breathing.
I have to write. I can't not write. Writing is my passion, my bliss.

I've written a few books for writers to help them get their books published. My main book is How to Write Your Book and Get it Published The Write Way.

Writing a book and getting it published
is a journey. I have a Writer's Workshop blog to help writers travel on the path to getting published.

Sometimes the path leads to commercial publishing; other times it leads to self- publishing. It can be helpful if someone has gone that way before and can show you the Steps to Successful Self-Publishing.

I have several publishing imprints (one of them is Riverstone Publishing which offers "how-to" books for writers). I created them to publish some of my books and to also publish other authors. I'll be sharing them with you as we travel this month-long blogging journey through my books.

Since we're on the subject of books, I'll take you on a trip to Pueblo Publishing tomorrow and offer you a look into the deeply spiritual roots of Native Americans, as well as sharing more food.

Foods and Flavors of San Antonio

2010-02-09T08:59:00.000-08:00

I imagine you must be hungry by now, so let me feed you...

But first, let me say that some people find it a strange mix that I write both spiritual books and cookbooks, but we have to eat, and since knowledge is food for the soul, I think it's a perfect blend of spiritual and physical. Plus, I love to cook!

I live in San Antonio, Texas, so I tend to eat a lot of Tex-Mex food. And since I eat a lot of Tex-Mex food (it's really, really good!) I wrote a cookbook about it... Foods and Flavors of San Antonio. The "foods" are everything from Mexican Coffee to Pecan Pie, plus lots of nachos, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, chili, etc., and the "flavors" are the amazing sights and fiestas in San Antonio.

If you're hungry for some Tex-Mex food, please come by and visit my Foods and Flavors of San Antonio blog and my Tex-Mex Recipes blog.

Tomorrow, we'll continue on our quest for the food of knowledge.

Copper Canyon Cookbooks

2010-02-08T07:30:00.000-08:00

Welcome to my kitchen at Copper Canyon Cookbooks. I enjoy cooking and since I'm a writer, it only seemed natural to write a
few cookbooks. About ten years ago I wrote Really Good Recipes
and enjoyed cookbook writing (and testing the recipes) so much
that I wrote and self-published three more cookbooks. I also wrote
a book about how to write a cookbook--Recipe for a Cookbook.

Our cookbooks are for home cooks, moms and dads, and busy
people who want quick, easy, and absolutely delicious meals.
They’re for people who like to cook but who don’t have a lot of
time to spend in the kitchen. The recipes feature easy-to-find
ingredients and carefully written directions, along with cooking
hints and tips, kitchen stories, and serving suggestions. Our
cookbooks invite you into the heart of the home… the kitchen.

Tomorrow I'll be offering you the foods and flavors of San Antonio.

Happy Ways to Heal the Earth

2010-02-07T06:05:00.000-08:00

We're all spiritual beings living here on Earth having a physical experience. While we're here, Earth is our home and it's our responsibility to make it a beautiful place to live, both to enjoy our experience here and to leave the Earth a better place than when we arrived.

We can help to heal the Earth--our present home for the moment. From simple ideas and suggestions to tuning into the energies of nature and experiencing the soul of the Earth, you'll find many Happy Ways to Heal the Earth.

Encouraging and inspiring, this book shares with you a mix of practical and metaphysical ways to benefit both yourself and the Earth. Inside these pages you'll find:

How sharing a shower with a friend saves more than water;
Why growing a garden is good for you and the Earth;
How to attune yourself to the energies of the Earth;
How to make friends with the flower faeries;
How to invite angels into your garden;
How to grow babies in the carrot patch;
How to tune into your inner nature and commune with nature;
Grown-up ways to play in the mud and dig in the dirt;
How to create a cloud and make it rain;
Why serenading the birds is good for your soul and the soil;
A very special healing gift from the Earth to you.

Filled with hundreds of helpful hints and a few words of warning,
this book includes anecdotes, Earth adventures, and Earth-oriented exercises you can do to increase your environmental awareness and become more involved in caring for the Earth.

This book is like chicken soup for the Earth lover's soul.
-- J. C., Environmentalist

Tomorrow, since we are all spiritual beings who are having a physical experience, we have to eat to nurture our bodies. I'll be inviting you into my kitchen.

A Cup of Zen Coffee

2010-02-06T05:39:00.000-08:00

Wondering how caffeine and calm, poured into the same coffee cup can help you mindfully meditate? It would seem that coffee and meditation are
in opposition to one another, but the truth is... they are completely in harmony.

Zen Coffee: A Guide to Mindful Meditation shows you how to
meditate by coffee.

I'd like to offer you a cup of Zen Coffee. It may help you mindfully meditate on the paradoxes
of life or maybe just calm your mind.

Tomorrow, we'll be getting grounded and healing the Earth in
many happy ways.

Looking Into Your Future Lives

2010-02-05T19:27:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wondered how time really works? What if time doesn't move in a straight line of past, present, and future? What if your future lives happen first... before your past lives?

What if the experiences in your future lives actually cause and create the experiences in your present and past lives, instead of the other way around?

Or what if time is a fluid vibration of energy? What if your past, present, and future lives are all happening at the same time, and the experiences in each directly influence and affect all your experiences in all your lives?

Looking Into Your Future Lives: A Trip Through Time looks at reincarnation in a new light from a simultaneous time-space concept. It looks into the real possibility that all your past, present, and future lives--instead of happening separately in a linear framework of time, are happening at the same time in the present at various vibrations of energy.

Rather than the past creating the present and shaping the future, this book shows you how the future interacts with and causes the present, just as much as the present has created the past, and the past has created the future.

Time can get a bit wobbly as it weaves through all your experiences with a future event that supposedly hasn't happened yet, but which directly affects a current experience you're having. Maybe you need to look into the future as well as in the past to find a cause for karma that you may be experiencing.

It's a concept worth thinking about, even though it's a bit confusing at first to wrap your mind around it. But... think about it and see what you come up with. What's your perception of time? Does time move in a linear motion from past to present to future, or is it a
fluid vibration of here and now?

Maybe a cup of coffee could help clear your mind. Tomorrow, I'll be sharing a cup of Zen Coffee with you.

Reincarnation and Your Past Life Memories

2010-02-04T20:38:00.001-08:00

Yesterday I talked about my reincarnation workbook that morphed into Discovering Your Past Lives. Seems like things have a habit of happening over again, but in a different manner.

Do you ever feel like you’re doing something you’ve done before, but
in a slightly different way? Or maybe
that You’ve Been Here Before… and
so has this newly-revised, reincarnated
book that was originally published by Random House in 1999.

Reincarnation and Your Past Life Memories, now published by Morpheus Books, offers you a guided tour into and through your past life memories. You’re shown how to tune into your subconscious mind where all the memories are stored.

Every part of a past life journey is explored from beginning to end, including how to balance and heal your karma, how to recognize people from the past, and how to discover your purpose in this life. The book contains numerous anecdotes, showing how other people have opened their past life memories, as well as a plethora of exercises and meditations you can do to retrieve your memories.

Enough of the past, for the moment. Tomorrow we travel into the future and take a look into Future Lives.

Exploring Your Past Lives

2010-02-03T15:47:00.000-08:00

Exploring Your Past Lives: A Workbook and Experiential Guide Into and Through Your Past Life Memories was actually the first book I wrote. It was a self-published workbook that accompanied my 12-week reincarnation class, and was what I based my book, Discovering Your Past Lives, on.

The workbook has gone through several incarnations since I first wrote it back in 1985. The first edition was written on my little Mac computer, printed out on 8-1/2 x 11 paper, photocopied, and comb-bound with a simple cover that had an hourglass clip art
on it. It was 150 pages and served its purpose perfectly. It was a write-in workbook that my students wrote their notes in based on their experiences in each class.

In its next lifetime, it appeared as an offset print book and grew
to 240 pages. Then POD (print on demand) was invented and the workbook was again reincarnated. In its most recent incarnation, with a new cover, it's now 330 pages and is still a write-in workbook. Sometimes it takes a few lifetimes to get it right, but it still serves its original purpose: it guides you into and through your past lives.

Here's a look at the back cover blurb:

If you're ready to explore who you were before and how the events and emotions in your past lives affect and influence who you are
now, this workbook and experiential guide is for you! Based on the author's reincarnation workshops and past life regressions conducted with hypnosis clients for the past 37 years, Exploring Your Past Lives offers numerous mind-opening meditations, experiential exercises, anecdotes, explanations, and examples as it takes you on a journey into and through your memories that show you the pictures of your past lives.

You're guided through understanding, balancing, and healing your karma in a clear, loving way. You'll see how to recognize soul mates and special people you've been with before, and understand their connections to you now.

This book offers you many areas and avenues to pursue in helping you open up your memories, such as dreams and deja vu, current clues, past patterns, pre-birth promises, carry-overs, continuations, and much, much more. It shows you how to put together the puzzle pieces of your past lives as it empowers you to be the director of your destiny.

Unraveling and understanding your past life memories is like reading a wonderful mystery novel. Your past lives are filled with interesting and informative characters who will share secrets and clues with you. You'll find fascinating facts and hidden truths. You're the detective; it's up to you to unearth the clues that will lead you to discovering your past lives.

Tomorrow, since we've all been reincarnated many times, I'll be sharing a reprint of Reincarnation and Your Past Life Memories: You've Been Here Before...

Discovering Your Past Lives

2010-02-02T07:39:00.000-08:00

The first book that I had published was Discovering Your Past Lives in 1988. I became interested in reincarnation in 1971, after having some experiences that showed me, without a doubt, that there was more than just this one life.
I pursued my interest, reading every book I could find on the subject and doing personal research.

I studied hypnosis, became a certified professional hypnotist, then opened my hypnosis practice--Horizon Hypnosis--and began conducting past life regressions as well as self-improvement sessions.

I'd also been teaching a 12-week class on reincarnation since 1985 through a community education program (boy, was there ever a lot
of flap about that way back when!) and had written a workbook to
go along with the class.

Since I'd always wanted to get a book published, I decided to send
out some query letters to publishers to see if they were interested. They were! I got two offers and chose Contemporary Books as my publisher. This has been my bestselling book... it's still in print and on the bookstore shelves! It's also been translated into 14 foreign languages, been sold to several book clubs, and was reprinted as a hardcover by Random House. Along the way, Contemporary Books was sold to McGraw-Hill and they are now the current publisher.

It's an incredible high to get your first book published. It's like the
joy of giving birth. Being a writer was something I'd dreamed about
for years. Writing this book was something I totally loved doing and knew that I was born to be a writer. I was a writer in one of my past lives... but that's another story for another day. Having this book published was the start to my life-long writing career. I love writing and have now written 30 books. I'll be sharing most of them in my month-long NaBloPoMo blogging journey this month.

Here's the back cover blurb for Discovering Your Past Lives:

Have you ever met someone for the first time,
yet felt that you'd known him or her for years?
Do you feel drawn to a particular era or culture?
Have you ever experienced deja vu?

You may be closer to your reincarnational past than you think!
In Discovering Your Past Lives, reincarnation teacher Gloria
Chadwick opens up the world of past life regression to anyone interested in finding out more about themselves. With scores
of fun-to-do exercises, she shows you how to probe your mannerisms, memories, preferences, and dreams for clues
to your past life experiences and how to uncover the historical
data that validate your findings.

You'll be amazed at the ease with which your subconscious mind reveals exciting facts about your past lives as you learn about:

How the clothes you wear can reflect your past life;
The meaning of birthmarks;
How what you fear in this life is a clue to how you died in a past one;
The choices you made before you were born;
The three types of soul mates; and
Your ability to create your own reality.

This clear, step-by-step program is based on the author's work in teaching past life regression. It includes the success stories of many of her students, who were amazed not only by the knowledge of who they had been but by the great benefit they gained in this life through information about their past lives.

Chadwick also provides a clear and unintimidating explanation of the sometimes difficult-to-understand relationship between past selves and spiritual awakening, taking you carefully through the confusing world of karmic growth and dharmic perception. If you are ready to explore the mysteries of time and space and uncover hidden truths about yourself and the universe, Discovering Your Past Lives will be your ultimate tool for self-discovery.

Tomorrow, I'll be offering you a look into the reincarnation class and the workbook that preceded this book.

Future Lives

2009-04-04T14:00:00.000-07:00

Does time move backward and forward?

Those who believe in reincarnation recognize that our previous lives profoundly influence our present existence. But what about the lives still to be lived--our future?

In this revolutionary spiritual guide, professional hypnotist Gloria Chadwick
looks at reincarnation in a new light, delving into how the future interacts with and causes the present, just as much as the present has created the past. Examining and living all our lives, which transcend our physical reality of time and exist as energy vibrations, enables us to get a more complete picture of our experiences. Thus we can see how
and why those experiences happen, and how we can influence and change aspects of them if we choose. Experiential visualizations, mind-opening meditations, and interactive exercises, as well as discoveries made by Chadwick's students and clients, round out
this thought-provoking book.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

2009-02-24T16:23:00.000-08:00

A metaphysical novel--part fact, part fiction--about the reality of reincarnation and spiritual awakening. The story takes you on a universal quest for knowledge and presents an entertaining adventure through this earth experience we call life as it offers a lighthearted look into the ups and downs of being spiritual in a physical world. Based on a past life, the book invites you to remember who you really are and offers you an avenue to rediscover your true spiritual nature.

Amanda is a free spirit who somehow manages to get herself stuck
in the energy vibration of a physical body. Of course she did it on purpose; nothing happens by accident. She's a little embarrassed to find herself on earth again and wonders how she ended up here when she vowed she'd never reincarnate again.

Her most down-to-earth task is to see through the misty illusions of things for herself and to remember her spiritual nature. In the course of events, she gets sidetracked by what everyone says is real life. But she's not sure what's real anymore. She's been dreaming about rainbows lately and now she's beginning to wonder if her life is really a dream she's having.

Lavender is trying to remember something she's forgotten about her true spiritual nature so she registers for school in the universe and begins classes in Time and Space, Energy and Matter, and Reality Awareness. She's more than a little concerned about the whole idea of synchronicity and the simultaneous time-space concept; she's not sure if she can handle everything at once.

Her destiny is to unearth the mysteries of the universe and to find the Scroll of Knowledge she wrote in Egypt. But she's reluctant to remember her experiences as a philosopher and has turned off her spiritual awareness.

Rainbow is a universal light-being. She's also Amanda's higher self and Lavender's teacher who tries to help them see the light within themselves. But Rainbow is really more than she appears to be at first, or even second, glance.

If you look somewhere over the rainbow, you'll probably see a lot of things about yourself that you knew all the time, but temporarily forgot somewhere in your earth experiences. And if you look for the light within yourself, you might remember who you really are and you might see a universal path of knowledge that all souls must travel to find the way home.

The Complete Do-it-Yourself Guide to Past Life Regression

2008-11-24T07:47:00.000-08:00

My newest book on reincarnation will be published in January, 2009. Here's a blurb that Paranormal Phenomena wrote about the book:

There’s no need to see a hypnotist for
a past life regression; you can do it on
your own with guided meditations by
spirituality expert and bestselling author
Gloria Chadwick.

She provides everything needed to prepare would-be “time travelers” as they quest for inner truth and knowledge: questionnaires to help you focus on why you want a past life regression; positive and powerful suggestions that draw out memories and allow you to speak to your subconscious; even actual scripts that serve as a map along the way.

Learn how to relax the body to reach a meditative state of mind, tune into the universal energy of white light, feel color vibrations so you’ll “rise through the rainbow,” and locate a sacred space to renew your soul. In addition to guidance on regression, Chadwick offers other ideas for exploring past lives, from spontaneous recall to dreams.

Inner Journeys

2008-10-09T15:34:00.001-07:00

Inner Journeys is about meditating, about looking within to remember your spiritual knowledge and to reawaken your spiritual self. It offers guided meditations and visualizations to help you open your mind to its full awareness and grow your soul into the multidimensional, spiritual light-being that you truly are.

Inner Journeys opens with an explanation of the process and purpose of meditation, shows you
the many ways to meditate, then guides you through a relaxation which provides entry to the worlds within you, and offers a chapter on learning the language of your mind--what it shows you, how it speaks to you, and how to listen to what your mind is saying to you. The book offers 71 meditations that invite you on an inner journey into magical, mystical places within your heart, mind, and soul.

Some meditations are fairly short--a page or two--that offer the essence of the intended imagery as they draw a picture or create a scene. Your mind will take you where you need to go. As you allow the words to form into images and open thoughts and feelings inside your mind, the words will draw you into a special, magical world within yourself.

Some are more like musings that speak to your soul. Others are relaxing and soothing. Still others are exhilarating and rejuvenating. Most are worded in such a way that you can explore whatever comes into your mind and experience it in your own way. Several gently guide you in a specific direction to achieve certain purposes, such
as healing or meeting your guardian angel.

The meditations inside Inner Journeys spoke gently to me in my thoughts and whispered through my dreams as the words danced in my mind and floated onto my computer screen. They grew from the classes I teach on positive mind power, dreams, intuitive awareness, reincarnation, and meditation.

Books are like paper children; each have their own personality and vibe. As I wrote the words, the book came to life and began to write itself, inviting me on a journey within myself where the words flowed like a magical stream of water and showed me a place where images bloom. Words are magical and mystical; they have the power to open up multidimensional worlds within your mind, heart, and soul. Inner Journeys is a way-shower, inviting you to remember what you've always known about your true spiritual nature.
