Hello, Friends ~ I’m very excited to invite you to this weekend’s Spiritual Awakenings International Conference 2025. As Executive Assistant to the President, I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to help bring it together. We’ll have 40 speakers from 12 countries sharing on topics such as Near-Death Experiences, Spiritually Transformative Experiences, reincarnation, afterlife communication and more.
See slide show below for highlights!
Watch this short video for an overview of the conference! Registration is FREE at SpiritualConference.org
Here’s a meditation to turn on in the first moments of morning consciousness, still huddled under warm blankets as the last wisps of dreams drift away. This meditation offers an alternative to scrolling through anxiety-inducing early morning news. Breathe away stale energy, connect with higher energies, and set good intentions for the coming day. Open your chakras with a light frequency shower. Rise and shine into the new day!
Bright blessings,
Dana
The Rise and Shine Meditation will also be available on the Opening Chakras Meditation page.
It’s that time of year to enjoy stories with a Christmas spirit of love and joy. Through the years I’ve been inspired to write several tales for the holiday season. I invite you to relax and refresh your spirit with my creative offerings. ~ Dana Taylor
My very first novel is closer to my heart with each passing year. Taking the advice, “write what you know,” I based the heroine on myself, a natural healer who runs a health food store in a small Oklahoma town. The hero, based on my husband, is a no-nonsense lawyer.
“The Healer vs. the Lawyer. Energy healer, Persephone Jones, has a new neighbor in Peeler, Oklahoma—hot shot lawyer, Jason Brooks. They meet in June; it would take a miracle to bring these two together by Christmas. She bans white sugar; he’s a chocolate cookie connoisseur. She’s about saving Mother Earth while he protects the interests of Big Business. Their attraction is mutual, but disturbing. And life gets even more complicated when the whole town is caught in a conflict that pits these two on opposite sides of a political fence.Available at Amazon
Do you believe in angels? Here are three short stories featuring angels in various guises.
“Shiny Green Shoes”—Life was hard on old Route 66 in 1935 in Luther, Oklahoma. The unlikely friendship between Mazie McDonald, a poor black child, and Peach Knight, an aging white actress, brings hope to a town down on its luck and proves dreams do come true!
“Refiner’s Fire”— Inspired by an incident from the 2008 San Diego firestorms. Flamboyant California real estate agent, Dina Stein, doesn’t care that she’s spending Hanukah alone with her dog, Angel. Better than spending it with her ungrateful daughter and son-in-law. Funny how Mother Nature can change your perspective.
“Patty’s Angels”–Los Angeles, 1960. California is becoming a state of great contrasts. Downtown LA and the suburbs are only minutes, yet worlds, apart. A little girl named Patty brings people together, with the help of her celestial best friends.
This is a photo of my mother, Gloria, and me from the Christmas of 1987. We knew it would be her last Christmas. I was 34 years old when my mother passed away after the slow deterioration from cancer. She and my grandmother had both spent that decade following doctors’ recommendations of surgeries and chemo, seemingly better for a while, but ultimately worn out by the disease and treatments. After they passed, I decided I would not go down their road. I would embark on a different path of health management. As the years rolled by, I explored Chinese medicine, spirituality, discovered the power of essential oils, and Reiki healing. I believe it was a better path. This year I’ve reached the milestone birthday of 70!😲 And what I’ve decided is good health comes down to energy. We each have an energy bank account, and every day we are either taking withdrawals or making deposits.
This is an exciting era when science and medicine are exploring beneficial energy devices to activate the innate regeneration of the human body. Let me share a few I have incorporated into my life.
FLFE.net came into my life just when I really needed it. In the summer of 2021, I was living in the Silicon Valley when 5G towers began broadcasting microwaves across the land. It took me weeks to understand why I suddenly couldn’t sleep and felt like I was jumping out of my skin. My whole body clock was blown out-of-whack. I tried many aids and remedies. One night a thought whispered in my mind “It’s the 5G.” Soon after that I happened upon an interview between Regina Meredith and the co-founders, Jeff Stegman and Clayten Stedmannof the Focused Life-Force Energy company. FLFE is an energy that is delivered to addresses or objects. There is also a component that mitigates EMF pollution. It’s a monthly service that can be transferred to locations as needed. Since I moved to the Santa Cruz mountains away from the ubiquitous 5G towers of San Jose, I have felt much better. But, I have continued to keep the FLFE service on the reasoning that having my home receiving a constant stream of positive energy is bound to be beneficial. Also, it allows me to sleep in EMF polluted locations on visits and vacations without feeling totally miserable. FLFE subscribers share anecdotal stories of positive experience, but it only takes buying some flowers and seeing how long they stay vibrant to know something good is happening. I can keep flowers 4 to 6 weeks before they lose their life force. If it’s good for the flowers, it’s good for me!
Back in 2018 I wrote a post called The Scalar Energy Experience when I first encountered the invention of Dr. Sandra Rose Michael in the offices of Dr. Terry Shintani in Honolulu. Surrounded by a bank of computer screens, clients are immersed in a scalar healing energy field, often with dramatic results. After my first session, I experienced an immediate and long-lasting improvement of my hearing. I bought a package of sessions in the pre-pandemic days and loved going and lying in a recliner for an hour in the energy soup. At the time, I understood Dr. Shintani was almost the only clinic available. Fast forward to spring 2024. I’m now in Northern California and dealing with a lingering respiratory illness and an “incompetent eustachian tube.” In other words, my ear was all plugged up and there wasn’t a medical solution. I wished I could jump on a plane to Hawaii and take some EESystem sessions. By chance, Dr. Sandra Rose Michael scrolled on my FaceBook feed and I discovered Energy Enhancement System wellness centers have popped up all across the world! There are two in my area. I booked a two-hour session and got on the road to wellness. I highly recommend discovering the healing power of Dr. Michael’s system at a center near you.
RED-LIGHT THERAPY
One of my birthday presents in June was a $40 red light therapy panel. I’d seen some beauty shops with “red light therapy” signs in windows, but I had never investigated it. A quick internet search reveals red light therapy enhances mitochondria function at the cellular level, which helps the body repair and regenerate. Popularity began in salons because it improves skin conditions. It increases blood flow and collagen production and decreases inflammation. I decided to give it a go. Nightly, I turn my small bathroom into a red-light therapy spa. The red light bounces off the walls as I shower, towel off and apply magical lotions to my arms and legs. I bask my face and neck for a couple of minutes and give my hands a good treatment also. The best benefit has been in my right hand, which was beginning to feel sore and swollen from nightly crocheting. That has completely gone away. Also, an area on my face had become chronically irritated from wearing pandemic masks. Despite no longer wearing a mask, the irritation persisted. That has also disappeared. And I think my skin looks pretty good—for my age!😉
Finally, I’d like to give a shout-out to the MONICOR USAhealing system. Though I haven’t personally experienced it, yet, I hope to find an opportunity soon. Earlier this year I wrote a post entitledHealing Devices Offer New Hope that featured the amazing healing of stage 4 cancer of a man in his 70’s using the Monicor USA device. Alden Butcher, whose wife Anne Archer Butcher I know through Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI), was given only two months to live after lumpy tumors appeared in his neck. His story of healing was featured on the Spiritual Awakening with AJ Parr YouTube channel. Now, AJ has created an in-depth look at the Monicor USA device through interviews with several health practitioners who have adopted it into their services. Basically, a patient is attached to wires that plug into the Monicor machine, which then uses AI to give a full analysis of body systems based on a Chinese medicine grid. Blockages and weaknesses are revealed. The practitioner than creates a program of electrical frequencies to be administered through the machine to elevate and balance the body. As with all healing energy modalities, it’s up to the body to utilize these frequencies to repair and rejuvenate. As a Reiki-minded person, that makes perfect sense to me.
I’ve learned so much since I took this picture with Mom. I’ve outlived my mother by 12 years, so far, and am grateful to have the health and energy to take care of the youngest of my grandchildren, ages two and three, several times a week. Plus, I’m going to water aerobics, joined a women’s singing circle, writing and recording for Supernal Living, volunteering for SAI and generally enjoying life. I make deposits into my body energy bank account through drinking plenty of water, eating live, uncooked foods, exercising and walking in nature. I believe incorporating energy devices is enhancing my health and quality of living. I encourage you to explore new inventions and innovations to live your best life!
One morning in 2018 on the day of a lunar eclipse, I was standing in my lovely Manoa Valley apartment in Hawaii when the strangest thing happened. A small optical illusion appeared before me of a round bubble that suddenly popped and disappeared. Immediately after that, the vision in my right eye blurred. No pain, no eye redness. But my vision resembled looking through a shower curtain.
Of course, I immediately began an Internet search and discovered it was a fairly common occurrence, a tearing of a delicate membrane. Later in the day, I happened to gaze into the setting sun, which actually showed me the jagged opening behind my eye. Now, a normal person would have gone to an eye doctor. Instead, I sat down in meditation to get intuitive direction. The message I received was surprisingly straightforward:
This is unfortunate. The strong energy from the lunar eclipse triggered a weakness in your eye and caused the break. It will get better and heal, but it will take time. We will guide you along the way.
Originally published in 1990, the MAP protocol was developed by Machaelle Wright of the Perelandra Center for Nature Research in Jeffersonton, Virginia. It is very simple, yet profound. Wright offers a concise how-to instruction to connect with two specific nature spirits, The Great White Brotherhood, Masters of Ancient Wisdom, and your higher self. References to The Great White Brotherhood are traced back to the rise of New Thought in the mid-1880’s and the founder of the Theosophical Society, Helena P. Blavatsky. They’ve threaded their way through the New Age movement and are seemingly more in touch than ever with human beings, if a simple Amazon search for them in books is any indication. Personally, I think of them as spiritual physicians who are helping us from the Otherside, but I suspect that’s an extremely simplistic viewpoint.
I’m not going to detail the protocol, as I think it would be unethical to lift that from Ms. Wright’s book. However, the process is easy and requires nothing more than time and intention. Back in 2018, I unfurled my yoga mat, laid down, and went through the mental protocol for the healing sessions. My memory of those sessions has gotten vague from the passage of time, but I was faithful in following the protocol on quiet tropical evenings over several weeks as time allowed. One night stands out in my memory. Lying on my mat, I felt a small, buzzing on my right temple, like an invisible drill or laser performing a psychic surgery on my eye. It seemed like I was surrounded by a spiritual medical operation team. A vivid imagination, you say? Perhaps, but my eye got better in the ensuing months. In fact, today my vision is better than it was before the incident. Back then both eyes were so near-sighted, I’d worn glasses since middle school. Now, my right eye sees distance so much better, I rarely wear glasses except to drive. My left eye is still as near-sighted as ever.
Okay, fast forward to 2024. What with the pandemic, moving to California, crazy politics, and, well, life, I hadn’t thought about MAP in years. Then this spring, I acquired a bothersome virus going around that went on and on. Just when I thought I was getting better, a family crisis further lowered my immunity. On April 11, I got up from a nap and my left ear was totally clogged, my hearing very impaired. Though I had no pain, having my head filled with fluid was tiring and annoying in the extreme. Not to mention being half deaf. I tried all my holistic tricks, but nothing seemed to help. Then dizziness set in, which made me actually go to a doctor. The diagnosis was good news/bad news. No infection (good news). Diagnosis: dysfunctional eustachian tube, for which there isn’t simple medical treatment (bad news). Back to the Internet. People shared their experiences with dysfunctional eustachian tube. Many talked about having it for YEARS! What?….No.
So, back to the energy medicine drawing board. I went to a pricey Reiki healer. We had a great time and my general health improved, but not my ear. I discovered the Enhanced Energy System I so loved in Hawaii, is now available nationwide. I went for a two-hour session in San Jose. My ear seemed a little better, but far from healed. Finally, I remembered the Medical Assistance Program, MAP.
I got out the little blue book, rolled out the yoga mat, and went into the protocol. The first session lasts an hour, a time for the spiritual physicians to assess, diagnose and designate the right medical team. That sounds so strange, I know. But, I had nothing to lose. Plus, my sensitivity to energy has enhanced through the years. Whereas before I mainly had faith that “something is happening.” Now when I open a MAP session, I know something is happening.
As I call in the connection prescribed in the protocol, I can feel the energy. I literally jump and jerk with it. Physical healing energy manifestation is nothing new at this point. It happens all the time when I am in Reiki sessions. There can also be changes in the air, like waves of coolness, which I call “angel energy.” Once I began the MAP sessions, the ear got incrementally better. Instead of being clogged all the time, it varied in intensity. Then, it was much better after lying down but filled up if I bent over too much. Then, over the course of two days, it completely healed. No clog, hearing restored. Yea!
I’ve decided to keep the MAP sessions as a regular part of my health regime. For one thing, they are restful and enjoyable, lulling in the healing energy. A dose of healing energy is rejuvenating. Plus, there are always things to work on–physical, mental, and emotional. I highly suggest reading the book to discover all the ways working with a spiritual medical team can enhance your daily life. You, too, for under $20, can work with your personal wise and wonderful spiritual medical assistance team! 😊
In the past year I’ve had the opportunity to work with both AJ Parr and Anne Archer Butcher on various committees for Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI). They are both intelligent and highly professional people. They’ve earned my respect. So, when Anne and her husband, Alden Butcher, appeared on AJ’s “Spiritual Journalist” YouTube channel, I had to watch.
Over five years ago Alden developed a cluster of stage four cancerous tumors on his right parotid gland. The standard medical options were few, extreme and ultimately, hopeless. The doctor told Anne that her husband probably had less than two months to live, a diagnosis that would send many into hopeless despair. But Anne and Alden are not hopeless, helpless people. They had a foundation in holistic thinking and began doing what they knew would nourish and detox Alden through nutrition and supplements. But they also knew that would not be enough. They were open to new technologies and found their way to a doctor who used a healing device from Monicor USA, a company in the realm of what some call vibrational medicine.
Their description of the Monicor device reminded me of the Trinfinity8technology invented by Kathy J. Fortni, that I found so intriguing. (See Trinfinity8: Healing’s Next Big Thing?) Likewise, it brought to mind Sandra Rose Michael’s Energy Enhancement System I enjoyed in Hawaii. (See The Scalar Energy Experience) In my very lay person understanding, these machines can evaluate and map the energetic health of the various organs and systems of the body. Then they can somehow target and adjust the frequencies that are malfunctioning in a series of treatments. As the organs or systems are “tuned up” the body initiate stages of healing. No drugs or surgery required.
And therein lies the rub, or course. Drugs and surgery are the foundation of our Western medical system, heavy emphasis on Big Pharma drugs. So, even as Anne and Alden happily shared their healing story to their amazed doctor, the physician regretfully admitted she could not share the information with other sick patients. “I would lose my license to practice medicine.”
Sigh. The paradigm switch from Newtonian to Einsteinian thinking is maddeningly slow. We are not machines. We are energetic beings. Vibrational medicine sits on the horizon, like a bobbing ship waiting for a tide to finally bring it to shore. The knowledge and technology continue to develop, even as Big Pharma keeps trying to push it back to sea. Still, I believe there will be a tipping point when the mass-consciousness rises and the vibrational medicine technologies will be embraced.
At any rate, I invite you to listen Anne and Alden share their story. Fortunately for them, they had been educating themselves on ancient and emerging wellness principles and put them into action. Finding their way to a cutting-edge vibrational medicine device gave Alden’s body the energy and frequencies it needed to heal. You or someone you know might benefit from this information.
