Children Recalling Past Lives

Past-Life Memories: Part One

Past-life recollection appears to be on the rise in the West. Soul Survivor by Bruce and Andrea Leininger of Layfette, Louisiana details the story of their son, James, who at two years old began recalling being shot down in an airplane during World War II. Texas-born Bruce Leininger did not consider reincarnation a valid worldview and set out to find another explanation for the details his young son supplied about the life of a World War II pilot named James M. Huston, Jr. As a mother, Andrea Leininger found herself in uncharted territory, trying to help her child deal with the recall of a former life and yet forge a new life in a new time.

Bruce Leininger’s research to debunk the mystery, ultimately provides a compelling argument for reincarnation being the most logical explanation for his son’s behavior. The father goes from hostile skeptic to believer. Their family journey is fascinating and a good blue print for parents of children beginning to deal with similar situations.

Product DetailsCarol Bowman’s book, Children’s Past Lives, began with the memories of her son, Chase, and the horrors of the Civil War. In an effort to help her son, Carol embarked on a spiritual discovery that led to a life’s work. Carol Bowman helps parents confronted with children remembering past lives often ended in trauma. This book will challenge your world view.

The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope

Book Review by Dana Taylor

Debut author Rhonda Riley has produced one of the most exquisitely written books I’ve read in a long while. The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope has a mystical quality that warms my Supernal heart. The story is told by Evelyn, born in North Carolina during the Depression, who comes into womanhood as World War II is ending. At the age of seventeen she is charged with keeping her aunt’s farm functioning to provide food for her mill-town family. One stormy night she discovers the naked body of a man she at first thinks must be a burned soldier returned from the war. A, as she comes to think of him, morphs into the love of her life. The world ultimately comes to know him as Adam Hope. He and Evelyn share an abiding devotion and amazing secret. Adam is either un-human or the ultimate human.

Their extraordinary story unfolds against an ordinary background of farm life and the post-war years of America. This is a beautiful book. Every word is carefully chosen for full effect. Adam’s appreciation of life, land, and love is a reminder that we should embrace the moments of our lives.

The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope by Rhonda Riley–highly recommended!

Coo-Coo for Coconuts

A few weeks ago during my meditation hour I asked, “Is there anything I should be adding to my life?”

The answer came quickly, “Coconuts.”

Interesting. You know how it goes, suddenly coconuts were everywhere. I walked into Sprouts and couldn’t miss hundreds of cans of coconut water. Did you know coconut water is so close to human blood plasma, that it is administered intravenously in emergency situations  to save lives? It’s a great pick-me-up with electrolytes and potassium. I stocked up and use it as the base of my shakes.

Next, I went for a massage and energy treatment from the wonderful Dale Arend, aka Dahlia, (author of  Follow the River) and she slathered me from head to toe in coconut oil.

Finally, a book on the benefits of coconut oil popped up in my email. Coconut Oil: Miraculous Benefits for a Healthier, Skinnier, and More Beautiful You  by Amber Cavill extols coconut oil in all its glory. While it used to get a bad rap as a heart clogging menace, those fears have been disproven. In fact, coconut oil may actually lower cholesterol levels. It improves thyroid function and can reduce belly fat. See Dr. Oz’s article on the benefits of coconut oil here.

Cavill’s book covers the range of ways coconut oil can be incorporated into a healthy life style. Use it for cooking, skin care and even your sex life!

Here are a few items from the list of 100 uses for coconut oil at the back of the book:

  • Substitute for other cooking oils
  • Use in salad dressing
  • Natural antibacterial skin cream
  • Use as a diaper and baby cream
  • Use a natural sunscreen (SPF4)
  • Condition damaged hair

Order Coconut Oil: Miraculous Benefits for a Healthier, Skinnier, and More Beautiful You  and discover for yourself all the joys of coconut oil. Personally, I love it as a chemical-free skin cream. Look for an organic version in your grocery store with the baked good items.

I’m definitely coo-coo for coconuts!

Tapping into the power of Crystal Grids

Funny how Spirit leads the way. A couple of weeks ago I got message, “we will teach you about sacred geometry” (See post on Sacred Geometry). Since then, books and sites have come my way that didn’t seem to be about scared geometry and yet, they’ve held lessons about the power of geometric shapes in the universe.

One such book is Crystal Grids: How and Why They Work by an author with the creative name of Hibiscus Moon. I’ve been following the Hibiscus Moon website for a while. She deals with crystals and stones in a myriad of ways. Her breezy style hides a geeky science teacher under the surface. I’ll bet she was a fabulous class room teacher. Now, the world is her student as she teaches through the Internet.

Crystal Grids goes beyond most books about stones that simply tell about their supposed healing properties. This book goes into the science supporting the idea of energy in stones and the power of geometry throughout creation. Sacred geometry goes back to the Greek, Plato. He credits information from the lost continent of Atlantis for the five basic geometric patterns now called the Platonic Solids. These shapes can be found throughout nature and down to the smallest molecules.

Crystals are formed in breathing taking geometric formations. According to Crystal Grids, placing them in geometric patterns can create an energy field. Using stones in this manner is not new. Indeed, it’s easy to see how people of the past were accused of being wizards and witches for employing what will probably be understood in scientific terms for energy transference in the not-so-distant future.

If you’re interested in the emerging field of energy healing and vibrational medicine, Crystal Grids is a fascinating introduction to working with the medium of crystals and stones.
