Balloon To The Moon

Hmmm—so this is how it feels to be 10 feet tall. I LIKE it!! I can't begin to describe what this week has been like. I've laughed more and cried more than I have in a very long time. I faced down huge portions of my fear and that is so powerful. I've walked thru the fire and am transformed. I've gone past merely existing and have CHOSEN instead to really LIVE! The universe is an awesome place. Namaste.

I've been meditating off and on since I was around 15, but Rhégina's guided meditations are really fantastic. It's like I've gotten a quick start to what I've been looking for for the past 29 years.

As I sit here in the heart garden I think back over this incredible week—of laughter, tears, stretching, oh so much stretching—but out of it all my heart is so filled with love, warmth, swelling.

I walked on those red hot coals! You truly showed us and helped us believe that anything is indeed possible.

Thank you for loving us and helping us love ourselves. It's not always easy... ah ah ha! But we know that it's possible!"

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful resource your book has become to me. I recently picked it up on a plane trip to a conference at which I was speaking. I found just what I needed to help me relax. The talk went really well. Thanks."

I have just told my staff, that you have received the AWARD for BEST GROUP OF YEAR AT WILLKA T'IKA, BEST LEADER, AND NICEST PARTICIPANTS. And I'm not kidding. Your energy carries that of the group.

...Thank you for your generous invitation to join you all on the fire-walk. I don't think I would have ever had such a wonderful and supportive opportunity. I have the coals, right in front of me, next to my computer. Mantra. "I can do it." I look at the coals each day.

—Carol Cumes, author and owner and creator of Willka T'ika. Peru.

a beautiful .. rousing book, truly an inspired piece of work.

I returned home from my adventure exhausted in the most wonderful way. I've got so many words to share about our blessed, oh-so special time together that I scarcely know where to begin. The components that made this experience so sacred and special can, of course, never fully be duplicated—the perfect blend of personalities, crew, weather and participation of the incredible "stars of the show", the DOLPHINS, made for an experience that still causes me to well up with grateful tears each time I think of it. Here are a few key words that come to mind with each lovely memory -

TRANSFORMING
ENCHANTING
ENLIGHTENING
POWERFUL
SERENE
INFORMATIVE
REJUVENATING
BLESSED
PERFECT

I'm so grateful to have been a part of this truly unique experience and the fellowship of souls who participated. I have only one question - when can I sign up for next year???

—Beverly Barlow Steinberg, Norway.

 

A poem inspired by a firewalk :

Last night we healed first touch, the thundering silence of our fear, dread and doubt.
We traversed boundaries of things known true and possible.

Last night we held hands, danced and accepted our power
Our journey guiding us through crossroads of sacred mystery.

Last night we healed control and spiraled towards unsuspected joy
Our journey awakening to the beauty of being.

Last night we flung our hearts to soar a mystical passage to the stars' embrace
Our feet touching where only angels dreamed before.

Last night we turned full to love, dropping false masks of past.
We the storytellers of our path, writing of miracles and imagination.

Today we stand forever changed, hearts touching
forever free
As we have touched coals and sang of possibilities.

What an incredible book. I've read it four times and I'm sure I'll go back to it again and again.

—B.C., Virginia
