During our lives we lose many friends and loved ones to transition. We all have our own difficulties or take on death and stick with what makes us feel some peace while losing, in the physical world, a friend or lover. We really never lose this person for there is always an essence of the individual left in our hearts and minds.
My friend that past April 11th was a funny man, he loved to sing, and he loved his family more than anything in the world. I call him a gentle giant! The brief time that I got to know this man I knew there was a connection that went beyond the physical reality. This is not to say that I had any more specialness then others in his life, we are all connected in this way, but he and I were able to communicate this and it's healing powers. And even though I only knew him a few years the comfort, ease, joy, peace and love that we shared with each other was just as meaningful and strong as those relationships he had built for years prior to knowing me.
There were so many things that this man loved that were simple, like growing tomatoes, listening to the birds singing, reciting a poem, or simply listening to everyone else having a good time. He may have appeared to be quiet but what he was really doing was observing, honoring and loving the experience. And he loved food! It was the one physical thing that he could still enjoy and by golly he was going to enjoy it. I couldn't help but sneak him a treat or two now and then, or a little more coffee then was allowed.
I loved John with all of my heart. I'm hopeful that my touch allowed him to know that and leave an impression on his soul of how healing and loving our hands really are. I know he knows this. I loved John for being honest and patient. And I loved him because he came here to teach all of us that to love others means sometimes doing things that are really tough. But he never complained because he did this out of love.
John, I love you and this 7-Step process is dedicated to you!
Belief Statement: I miss you and wished that I could have known you earlier in life. I feel sad that you are gone. I don't understand life sometimes but through this I gain awareness while losing nothing.
Spirit Statement: I have you and know you now and this feels joyful in the here-and- now. I understand life with awareness in everything.
When you look at the spirit statement it is saying to me that through life I'm gaining awareness in everything. So this includes all aspects of this life. Death is a way for us to take this awareness and transform into a new. It allows us a break from what we designed and start a whole new design.
Love and joy!

Awareness opens the possibility for Alignment and the Willingness to Release. Free yourself of illusions within YOUR reality. What are you creating that makes you feel disempowered?
