Following the spiritual point of view that all physical manifestations are the result of inner, spiritual causes, it follows that all physical expressions of wealth and prosperity result from an inner spiritual root of prosperity.

As with everything in life, wealth and supply originate in the spiritual realms.

By touching into your spiritual core, you’re touching into the divine source of all supply. This paces you in the midst of an unending fountain of supply!

To activate this spiritual power of abundance, God gave you a special power ray of light to awaken your consciousness to your birthright of prosperity – the turquoise ray of supply.

The turquoise ray is your own special connection to your reservoir of spiritual wealth. It gives you the jump-start you need to actually move the prosperity principles into action.

Prosperity consciousness is one of the natural, inborn attributes of your soul. If you’re lacking in physical resources, it just means you’ve disconnected in this area from your spiritual heritage. Somehow, the turquoise energy is not balanced in your aura, your energetic blueprint.

If you’re in a financial crunch, you can use this ray to help generate income. If you’re anxious about money in general, you can use this ray o help build a more spiritual consciousness of money.

Meditative Prayer for Prosperity

Sit comfortably in a quiet place with your eyes closed, hands resting gently in your lap. Take 3 deep, relaxing breaths , fully expanding your belly on the inhale, and exhaling out all the breath on a sigh.

Now see a brilliant turquoise ray of light beaming down from the heavens directly to your heart. Say the following prayer aloud:

“Down-ray the turquoise ray of abundance and supply, activating my heart, the seat of my soul, and quickening person, places, things, conditions, and situations, bringing me into perfect prosperity.”

Sense and feel your heart being activated in limitless supply. Feel the warmth and strength of this light illuminating all of your being.  See it bringing into your life new avenues of income, and strengthening the ones you already have.

Once this power is established in you and you feel uplifted, give thanks, then let it go from your consciousness. Trust that the energy is in motion.

If you find yourself falling back into worry patters, repeat the light work. As with all things, the more you put this meditation into action, the more you attract prosperity into your life.

Wishing you the very best in your journey to Enlightenment,

During the first week of December the students of Spiritual Arts Institute gathered in Joshua Tree, California, for our annual Initiation. Every year students of all ages and backgrounds travel from around the world, some as far away as Israel and Japan, to meditate, pray, and expand our spiritual education.

The Initiation is the highlight of the year for Spiritual Arts Institute, because it is during this time that we receive a powerful and glorious blessing from the Higher. Our beloved teacher Barbara Y. Martin explains,

“Initiation is the time when the Holy Ones of Divine Light come very close to bless us for the spiritual work done throughout the year.

The Holiday time of year is important as well as this is when when the Holy Ones down-ray a lot of Divine Light to humanity.

Do your best to stay in a high consciousness so you can receive this blessing and be a channel of it for others.”

In addition to the blessings received from the Higher, during the initiation we have the opportunity to bond with our spiritual community. These friendships are invaluable to encourage us as we climb our individual spiritual ladders. One of the most beautiful things about being in the spiritual work is it brings so many wonderful people together–a true spiritual family.

Wishing you health and happiness this Holiday Season,
and a very bright New Year!
Barbara Y. Martin & Dimitri Moraitis

This holiday time of year – the season of divine light – is a glorious time of growth and renewal. It is the time to honor the Christ and what the Christ consciousness means to us.  Right now, there is a great deal of activity going on in the spiritual dimensions of life.  The celestial hierarchy comes particularly close to us and there’s tremendous prayer work and downpouring of spiritual light to uplift and inspire all humanity.

Do your best to stay in as high a state of consciousness as you possibly can, to allow yourself to receive this great outpouring of light, this divine gift.  Take a moment apart from your holiday busyness and be still for a moment, just to allow yourself to breathe and accept this blessing and to be a channel for others who may need a helping hand.

Happy Holidays to you from all of us at Spiritual Arts Institute!

The imagination and creativity of a child is a precious gift. Paul Collard is the CEO of Creativity, Culture and Education (CCE), a UK-based organization funded by government “to unlock the creative potential of children and young people, in order to prepare them for success in the creative economy of the 21st century.”

Paul explains, “Creativity is … being able to make good ideas happen.” This is key because creativity and culture are drivers of social and economic change.

A recent project of CCE was assisting a group of children in London purchase a new classroom for their school campus – a nonoperational, full-sizedpassenger airplane! The children came up with the idea, negotiated the plane’s purchase, designed the interior with David Beckham’s personal plane designer, and wrote letters to council for permission to park it on school grounds.

By encouraging our children to imagine, to play, to think outside the box, we are instilling within them the knowing that their contribution to the world is valuable and essential. This confidence goes on to create talented individuals who will confidently go out and peruse their dreams.

Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis, two accomplished metaphysical teachers and authors, advocate the early spiritual education of our children to nurture their creativity, emphasizing that kids learn by example.

Dimitri shares the story, “Barbara and I were teaching the basic principles of metaphysics to young children, ages 6 to 14, who were studying to be actors in major motion picture films.  At one point Barbara shared with the children that talent shows up in the aura as a brilliant electric blue. The next day the children came to class and everyone was wearing blue – they got it!”

Introducing your kids gently to metaphysics is ideal, remembering that children are adult souls in a child’s body.  While Barbara and Dimitri recommend waiting until the age of twelve to introduce your child to meditation, exposing them to spiritual principles can be fun, and you may be surprised by how quickly they catch on!

A great way to work with the light with kids is to use creative visualizations, such as encouraging them to envision themselves surrounded in a golden bubble for protection, or seeing themselves cloaked in pink light for love.  You can also play creative games to teach your children about the divine light.

By sharing the light work with your children not only are you nurturing their natural ability to be creative, you are also watering the seeds of their innate spirituality.

It is truly remarkable to think about all  Steve Jobs accomplished in his too short life and how he reflects the extraordinary times we live in.  It was not that long ago computers were huge, complicated machines that filled rooms and required highly skilled technicians to operate. Jobs was part of the revolution that brought the computer first to the desktop, then the laptop and then to the palm of your hand. As we all know, this revolution changed our lives and opened up a new world of communication and exchange of information.

Of course, Steve Jobs was not alone in this revolution. Yet what he was able to do was express this technology in a way that became a type of universal language — a simple, user-friendly approach to complicated computer protocol. And what made it all the more incredible was he achieved much of this while facing an illness that would eventually claim his life.

Steve jobs with his wife after his last ever keynote presentation.

There is an analogy in metaphysics. Metaphysics teaches that the blossoming in technology is a reflection of an even greater revolution—the blossoming of human consciousness.

Until recently, metaphysics was known only to the select students in the ashrams and mystery school of the world. Today, the divine is making a greater effort than ever before to open spiritual doors and give humanity every chance to accelerate our spiritual growth. The laws of metaphysics remain the same as they have for ages, yet there has never been a better time to develop ourselves spiritually. In every way, we are at a turning point in the evolution of humanity.

The life of Steve Jobs is a testament to what can be accomplished when you put your mind to it despite obstacles. Our hats off to you Steve and may God bless you and your family.

Today more than ever humanity is exploring various spiritual practices in search of truth. With so many choices, it can be difficult to know what is best for you and what will really lead to the great goal of enlightenment. As a metaphysical teacher, I see many people do not have a clear picture of what the goal of spiritual development is really all about. It is ironic because the purpose of metaphysics is to help you reach your spiritual potential which will ultimately lead to enlightenment.

Enlightenment is no abstract idea, vague wish or fanciful notion. It is a very real part of your life and something attainable. At the same time, enlightenment is not something you will reach overnight. It will require all your talents, dedication and abilities to accomplish.

What exactly is enlightenment? Enlightenment means many things. It is the culmination of a long spiritual journey where many facets of human development come together as a unified whole. At its core, enlightenment is the ability to connect with the God presence within you. It means attaining the highest power ray in your evolutionary cycle where you become part of the hierarchy of light. It means you have passed from inner faith to inner knowing. An enlightened soul has reached a high level of maturity and awakened the inner sensories latent in all humans.

Enlightenment shows itself unmistakably in the aura. The whole aura changes shape to a beautiful pointed oval. There is an expansive outer glow of light and power. Gold is strongly pronounced with an enlightened soul along with white light. With an enlightened aura, there are no dark or undeveloped areas. Every facet of the aura, from the chakras to the divisions, has taken on new qualities.

How do you reach enlightenment? Like any skill or art, spiritual development takes effort and training; there are no shortcuts. Yet the best way to start is right where you are. Start by building up the spiritual power in your aura and consciousness with every good word, thought, act and deed. Start at home with your family and friends. Bring the divine into your finances and workplace. Every good thing you do builds up and enlightens your aura.

If there is one message I wish to leave you with it is that enlightenment is your destiny. Regardless of when you reach this goal, every soul on this schoolhouse earth is meant to enlighten their soul and graduate so they can go onto greater spiritual adventures. If you have had you spiritual awakening, then it is time to start paying closer attention to this part of your life.

God bless you in your spiritual journey,

Barbara Y. Martin
Spiritual Director

God lives in the sound of laughter!

Laughter calls forth our desire to live. It releases us from anger, sadness, apathy, discontentment – all of the emotions that are not a part of our true being. The power of laughter is infinite in its ability to heal and unite. Today, make it your mission to play and laugh!

On this glorious Monday we invite you to join us in setting a powerful, positive tone for this week by attuning to Divine Motivation – motivation that streams straight from the heart of the Beloved.

Heavenly Father, Holy Mother God,

As we enter into a new week and set forth to accomplish our goals, duties, tasks and dreams, we ask for a blessing of motivation to propel us forward in a God-like manner, enabling us to meet each person, place, circumstance and situation with joy and enthusiasm. We ask to be quickened in the light, the consciousness, of motivation, so we may perceive the magic and wonder inherent in each moment.

May we co-create our reality hand in hand with you with deep gratitude and profound knowing that we are only given that which we can handle, and that at every step of the way we are always guided, assisted and protected.

We rejoice in the gift of life! We celebrate the opportunity to know ourselves as divine! With the heart of a child, we welcome this week of blessings, growth, learning and opportunities with awe, and answer the call to greatness with a resounding, YES! We ask that all of our brothers and sisters be quickened in the light, so that together we create heaven on earth now, in this moment, and in each subsequent moment hereafter. We thank thee that this is so. So be it!

I have been a student of Barbara Y.  Martin and Spiritual Arts Institute for several years and recently was certified as a spiritual healer through the institute’s Practitioner Healing Program. Although I live in Israel, I have been taking the program online, as well as attending retreats in Southern California.

Since December 2010, I have been participating in special two-year study being conducted at Rambam Medical Center, one of Israel’s most prestigious hospitals, where they are exploring the beneficial effects of alternative therapies with cancer patients. This research aims to find out how complementary medicine affects the quality of life of oncology patients, particularly regarding the symptoms of the secondary effects of chemotherapy or the symptoms of the disease itself in the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual aspects.

In this study, I am practicing the Direct Healing techniques learned through Spiritual Arts Institute in a clinical environment. After only six months of work, I would like to share some of my extraordinary experiences with you.

Rambam Health Care Campus is Northern Israel’s largest hospital, housing Rambam Medical Center, a European Society Medical Oncology Center (ESMO) of Integrated Oncology and Palliative Care. It is now the 8th year that oncology patients of Rambam Hospital can choose to receive complementary medicine sessions in the Oncology Supportive and Palliative Care Unit alongside their chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments traditionally received in conventional medicine.

The Supportive Care Unit, where I conduct the spiritual healings, is located in the Oncology Day Care Ward, where people with different types of cancer and at every stage of the disease come to receive their chemotherapy treatments. Patients that choose to receive spiritual healing sessions or other complementary medicine sessions within the Unit can also take part in the ongoing research conducted. Patients who agree to participate in the research start the spiritual healing sessions are at different stages of the disease and treatment. Spiritual healing sessions are also being given to patients who are considered to be at a terminal stage.

Overall, patients who take part in the research receive 6 sessions of spiritual healing, 45 minutes each, once a week. As of this writing, more than 100 spiritual healing sessions have been given in the Supportive Care Unit. Results of the research will be published in an internationally renowned scientific magazine in 2012. While the healer is not informed of which patient is taking part in the research, all patients give their direct, spontaneous and immediate feedback.

Patients that have been receiving healing are from 24 to 72 years old, and come from different social backgrounds and beliefs. For those with a religious background, patients have shared they have been praying to God to heal them and are so moved by the fact that these spiritual healing sessions are offered in the hospital. For them it is God sent. As a consequence, they are very open to receive the healing Light.

Some patients are atheists. They say they do not especially believe in God; even the word ‘God’ creates some kind of resistance in their minds. However, they keep on coming back to the healing sessions, saying they feel comfortable and interested by our talks, with which we open every session, and that the healing makes them feel better. Believers or non believers, they want to be healed. My job is to help facilitate that by bringing the person into a state of consciousness where they are relaxed, open and ready to receive the Light.

Examples of Spiritual Healing

Here are three stories of the effects on patients during and after healing sessions:

1. A patient with pancreatic cancer with metastasis in the liver and lungs who was surgically operated on a few times to remove cancer reported a sensation of deep serenity and peace from the first healing session. After his 4^th healing session this week, he said he felt a huge relief in breathing difficulties. He had also shared he could feel different sensations with the various light rays. In his early sixties, he never knew about spiritual healing before we started a few weeks ago. The same sensation of relief in breathing after a healing session was reported by other patients with lung cancer as well. (At least 3-4 lung cancer patients reported the same sensation of relief in breathing.)
2. A 43 year old woman with colon cancer shared how she is entered into a state of deep serenity and relaxation when we start the direct healing session. She received 8 healing sessions. In the process, I could see her mental and emotional bodies being lifted from negative states of sadness and fear to happiness, courage and hope. From pessimism to optimism, from negative to positive speech, from tears to smiles, from fatigue to vitality and growing energy. Her blood counts were lifted, as well, from low levels of thrombocytes (where the chemotherapy treatment cannot be administered) to balanced blood counts after a healing session.
3.  As a part of a medical staff exchange program, a group of nurses from Thailand came to see how the supportive care unit is working, in particular, that day, how the Spiritual Healing session goes. I received them both in the treatment room for about an hour to explain what spiritual healing is.Then I did a 10 minute “demonstration” of a healing session to each one of them. The first nurse said that she had felt the heat of my hands and a deep relaxation sensation, as if she is going to fall asleep. The second nurse said that she was in a deep state of calmness and could see green, yellow and orange lights moving in her abdomen area, feeling as if something had been cleaned and left her body

Reactions to Spiritual Healings by Medical Doctors

A few months ago, I was asked to give a short lecture about Spiritual Healing in a day seminar for the Medical Staff of the Oncology division of Rambam Hospital. The medical staff was divided to 7 groups. At the end of one lecture, after demonstrating the direct healing technique, a social worker commented with teary eyes, “I had some terminal patients that had just been told they only had a short time to live. Some have young children and very sad family stories. They asked me questions and I didn’t know what to answer or where to send them to. I wish I knew that I could send people to these sessions when they are asking me existential questions and I don’t know what to say or where to send them, now I know.” She said with relief.

Another doctor asked me “How are these sessions helping the patients when they only have a few more days to live and anyway they are going to die”? I spoke about the continuation of the soul and the work on the astral body, about preparing them for an easier transition, as well as simply receiving them with love and compassion, listening to them, allowing them to ask any question they might have and helping them to connect with the higher.

Just before the closing circle, the senior doctor (who is the director of the supportive care unit, the initiator and responsible for the research on the effects of complementary medicine on cancer patients), asked for a healing session for himself. He laid on the treatment bed for a 15 minute healing session. It was in the big hall in the presence of other medical staff and participants in the seminar. When he got up off the treatment bed he said he had had a leg pain before the session, which he didn’t tell me about, and that it had passed during the session.

To finish, the chief nurse of the oncology division, responsible for all the therapists and the patients of the supportive care unit (She was participating as a member of the first group of the medical staff groups) shared with me in the presence of the other members of the group that she is sending the most difficult cases to the spiritual healing sessions and that the patients are reporting to her that they are very pleased with the healing sessions.

A Story of Personal Healing

There are many more stories of the effects of spiritual healing on cancer patients I could write about. Every day of work in the oncology ward is rich with people’s moving life stories, but the last one I chose to share is not someone else’s moving life story, it was happening at home. It is the story of my own mum.

My mum is in her mid-fifties, a school principle in Israel. Six months ago she was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer in advanced stage. It was growing fast and spreading everywhere through the lymphatic system. She was quite shocked at the diagnosis and afraid of what she was going to go through. She knew all that so well, as her own mother died from cancer at the age of 49.

She was prescribed 8 cycles of chemotherapy and biological treatments. When she returned home after her first treatment, I started doing healing work for her as well as ask for the healing support of Spiritual Arts Institute. After the second chemotherapy treatment, we did more direct healing and there was a special moment. While she was praying strongly to God to heal her and I was holding my hand above her hermetic center, we could both see the atoms leaving her body and being dissolved.

From that moment on, she knew she was going to be healed.

When she reached the 4th cycle of chemotherapy, she was taken to do a PET CT scan to see the progress of the disease. The results of the scan were amazing! Although she was only half way through the conventional treatment, there were no signs of cancer in her body whatsoever, not even a trace of the disease that usually takes some time to disappear from the body even after chemotherapy treatment is finished, but here nothing!

Our joy was immense, but she was now faced with a decision whether to continue the difficult chemotherapy treatments. She decided to finish the cycles. Another PET CT scan after the 8th treatment confirmed, once again, she was indeed completely healed and there was no trace of cancer in her body. We were all so grateful.

I can very clearly see how the healing principles helped save my mum’s life and are helping to save other people’s lives. I am deeply grateful to God and the Higher to be able to do this work and to Barbara and Spiritual Arts for all that I have learned. All patients are someone’s mum or dad, daughter or son. It is always the same healing method and technique that I am practicing while at work in the hospital. It is always with the same level of consciousness that I enter the healing room and receive the patient for their healing session, always keeping the vision of their divine image in which they are already healed.

Shon Prem Bon Soeng is a certified psychotherapist and an officially authorized Zen teacher. Her spiritual healing work is certified through Spiritual Arts Institute. She lives in Israel and is currently opening a healing center where she will conduct clinical psychotherapy, spiritual healing sessions and classes in metaphysics and Zen. You may email her at: One@SpiritualSpring.org

Spiritually there are rhythms of activities connected to the seasons as well. Spiritual growth is a continual process but summer does represent a period of spiritual flowering. Actually the spiritual peak of the year is during the Spring Equinox but summer is when we feel the effects of that peak the most. It is generally a time to reap the rewards of accumulated spiritual efforts rather than starting a new flow of energy (Fall and winter are the best times for starting a new spiritual flow).

So take a moment to express your gratitude to the Divine for what you have and all that has been done for you. Take time to enjoy yourself and to better appreciate the spiritual opportunities that are opening up. Despite current challenges, this age we live in is one of the best times to grow in the Divine Light.

In Light and love,
