Healing With The Angels

by Doreen Virtue, Ph D.

I have a copy of this book and I often pull it off my bookshelf to consult it. I have Post-it flags marking special pages throughout the book. Some of my flagged pages include:

  • Prayer to Archangel Michael for Increased Energy – Most of us can use that one.
  • Prayer to the Angels for cravings for unhealthful foods and drinks.
  • How about a Prayer for Increased business Opportunities
  • Here is a good one, stress management.

Not only do I have that page flagged but I also have some of it highlighted. My highlighted words of wisdom are

  • “All pressure is self imposed”
  • “Stress is of our own choosing”

and further down the page is some good advice:

  • “…the importance of setting our intentions for the day, first thing in the morning.
      Decide, ‘What do I want today to be like’ and it will be done” (page 73)

But what I mainly use the book for is the Number Sequences from the Angels in Chapter 12.

One day I was in my kitchen feeling very mad and upset about how badly things were going, dwelling on the negative so to speak. I glanced at the clock on the stove it said 11:11, I looked at the Microwave, and it said 11:11. I decided to get Doreen’s book. The sequence of ones says to “Monitor your thoughts carefully, and be sure to only think about what you want, not what you don’t want. … The 111 is like the bright light of a flashbulb. It means that the universe has just taken a snapshot of your thoughts and is manifesting them into form. Are you pleased with what thoughts the universe has captured?” Boy I changed my thoughts right then, I did not want more of the negative in my life.

I'll give one more example. Last February, I was going through a dark night of the soul episode. I was firmly rooted in a scarcity mentality and was about to throw in the towel on my own business dream and look for a low paying job. I just could not see how the bills would get paid for the next month. My husband gave me a pep talk and convinced me to work harder on my business. The next morning when I got up I weighed myself and the numbers showed back at me 122.2. I had never seen so many twos in a row; in fact I had not weighed that little before or since. So I decided to look in chapter 12 of this book.

Doreen says that three 2's in a row means "Your newly planted ideas are beginning to grow into reality. Keep watering and nurturing them, and soon they will push through the soil so you can see evidence of your manifestation. In other words, don't quit five minutes before the miracle. Your manifestation is soon going to be evident to you, so keep up the good work! Keep holding positive thoughts, keep affirming. And continue visualizing." Wow, that was the positive reinforcement that I needed. I did have the best year that I have ever had with my business and things are still happening.

Recently I have been seeing fives in sequence. Waking in the middle of the night and seeing 5:55 on the clock, things like that. Doreen indicates that this means a major life change is upon me. This has me a little nervous (review my articles about change).

This is a very interesting and useful book for me and I think it will be for you too.


Busting Loose From the Money Game: Mind-Blowing Strategies for Changing the Rules of a Game You Can’t Win

by Robert Scheinfeld

This is a revolutionary book about the way things really work. This book goes a step beyond the Law of Attraction.

Where the Law of Attraction still works within a framework of game rules that we (human kind) have agreed to on a subconscious level, Busting Loose tells you how to change the rules altogether. When you are free from the constraints of the rules you start to create your own rules. I am not talking about break the law type rules. These rules are at a much deeper level. Many of them sound familiar to the Law of Attraction crowd: There is a limited supply of money Money flows in and out and is separate from you so that you have to go out and get it. You must work harder or smarter to increase your supply of money even though the Law of Attraction also refutes these rules.

Robert Scheinfeld takes it a step further. He explains how this game is designed so that you can’t win and that is why you must change the rules. Robert Scheinfeld shows how none of the beliefs and assumptions that are the basis for these money rules are true. Then he leads you through the land of OZ where you will see that this is not just a Money Game but a Human Game. The steps for creating the new rules is explained in this very interesting, easy to read book. Maybe these are the changes that will be coming to the human race in 2012 and beyond and it can start with you if you read this book.


I’m Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams–I Am. I Am. I Am.: How to Get Everything You Want in Life

By Thomas L Pauley and Penelope J. Pauley

This book leads you through their story on manifesting their desires. After reading this book, I was having a discussion about the law of attraction with a friend and she commented that she did not have a clue about how to go about manifesting. So I loaned her this book. Boy was she good at it. At the time of our discussion, she was living in a very small 3 bedroom 1 bath rental with herself and 5 children one of which was severely handicapped. She had spent Christmas at the hospital that year with the severely handicapped child and lamented the fact that she did not have a husband that could help her with all of this. After she read the book she found a man and they fell is love. This new love in her life took her to see a ‘for sale by owner’ house. She said she had never considered looking in the ‘for sale by owner’ section of the paper. She fell in love with this house. It was an ultra modern 1950 style, lots of glass, lots of rock. It had 5 bedrooms, three bathrooms, a two car garage, various tool and garden sheds and a separate office/cottage with its own half bath. She couldn’t believe her good fortune. The house was easily three times bigger than her present rental. She worked the numbers and figured she could pay for it even after they got married and her love took a year out to go to school. That was almost 3 years ago and she is still enjoying her house, her husband and her new life.


Energy Medicine

By Donna Eden

This book is the Bible in the energy medicine. It is a must have for anyone serious about energy work. I have read through the book and then tabbed various sections and refer back to them often. Since I have incorporated her meridian tracing into my morning routine, when I donate blood it goes much faster than it use to. Before, 3 people would come and go in the chair next to me while my bag was filling but after tracing meridians for several weeks I was like the normal people around me, in and out in a jiffy. Donna Eden covers all types of things, not only the meridians but also The Aura, Celtic Weave, Basic Grid, Five Rhythms, Strange Flows and of course the Chakras. She also lists Acupuncture Tapping Points and it is interesting to see how these differ from the EFT points I learned. This is a very good book and I cannot emphasize enough that you need this book if you are doing any serious energy work.

Donna Eden also has this nifty little Energy Medicine Kit which contains a crystal pendulum, a DVD and a CD, a stack of practice cards and a guidebook to tell you how to use all of this. I received it for Christmas and have not gone through the whole thing yet

It is a great addition to the book but can also stand alone.
