Book Review: If you hear the message three times...
If
You Hear the Message is a highly readable and inspiring account of Patricia
Heller’s transformation from living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) to
becoming a spiritual and self aware healer. She takes us on her journey from curing
her ‘incurable’ illness to investigating healing hands, past life regression,
shamanism, manifesting greatness, automatic writing, heart centred
transformation, her inner gypsy woman and many more. The book is actually an
excellent survey of the healing modalities in America over the past fifteen
years.
The
title refers to what she calls “listening to the universe”. When you hear the
same message three times, it is time to pay attention. She gives several
examples of when she heard messages three times before she got it. In a heart
centred transformation centre in the Arizona
desert she heard the teacher tell someone to move her energy to her heart and
‘let it go’. This didn’t make any sense to her at all. The second time she was
in awe standing over the Grand Canyon.
She turned to her teacher and told her how it was so beautiful it hurt her
heart. She was told to ‘let it go.’ She looked at him as if he was an alien.
Let go of what, she thought? During a full blown attack of CFS at the centre
she was again told to ‘let it go’ when the penny finally dropped. She realized
that holding onto her anger was making her physically sick. She had to hear it
three times before she was able to really hear it and ‘get it’. That was her
last attack of CFS.
In
case you are thinking there isn’t a modality Patricia doesn't like, rest
assured that she approaches them intelligently and with a healthy scepticism that
is often absent in books of this type. The road she is on is long and winding,
full of insights, pot holes, blind alleys and magnificent vistas. Patricia
takes us on the tour with excitement, passion and humility, without trying to
make us into converts or convince us that she has found ‘the path’ to
enlightenment. In a graceful and humble way, she describes what she found on
her own quest for enlightenment and if there is a piece you can take away from
it then she has done her job.
Readers
are rewarded by Patricia’s insights and warmth; she does an excellent job of
writing clearly and extracting the meaning out her experiences. I marveled at
her curiosity and capacity to absorb and integrate so many different teachings
and to draw important lessons from them that have relevance for a general
audience. This book is especially exciting for those who are or who are
thinking of going on a similar journey of self discovery.
As
a coach I am constantly reminded that it is not the events that shape our lives
so much as how we respond to them that is what makes us who we are. This book
demonstrates how a woman with spunk, determination, courage, curiosity, a great
sense of humour overcame a seemingly hopeless situation and the death of her
husband to arrive in a place of wisdom, compassion and happiness.

- Hey Evan,
I was getting some wierd 'error sending e-mail' message when trying to post a reply. I tried twice and got the same error message. What was even a little more weird was that my message got posted twice. (I deleted the extra one).
Sorry, I wasn't thinking and didn't grab the exact error message but I do recall seeing a php-related error.
Hope that helps.

Re: Offline Marketing V/S Online Marketing
- I think both are important but what most people forget is that the internet is just a medium for the mass distribution of a message when it comes to marketing, is it quicker and more easier for your potential customer to find you and easier to deliver stuff yes absolutely.
In terms of your marketing though, the distribution of the message is of no consequence if the message is not relevant and beneficial to the end user i.e your prospect.
If the message is in terms of you then no one will care and it will smack of just another advert, however if it is benefit laden and points to solving a specific problem you have highlited as existing within your target market you are now getting somewhere.
How you distribute that message, T.V radio, newspaper, facebook, youtube or articles etc is all just the same to an extent, the quality must be in the actual message itself
Site after-posting problems?
- Don't know if this is happening to me alone, or to everyone, but every time I post a message, instead of my message coming up after a few seconds, I get this error message:
Failed sending email :: PHP ::
DEBUG MODE
