Aloha,
I was quite amazed when I was doing research about the top ten fears. They were: long words (that being first really amazed me), flying, clowns, heights, death, being alone, the dark, public speaking, commitment and intimacy. Of course, no matter what the fear, imagining an angel holding your hand and walking you through it is the best way I know to overcome any and all fears.
But when fear has just coming roaring up to the surface and grabbed you by the throat remembering that angels even exist is often the challenge. I would love to hear how you overcome fear in your own life. I'll share some of my favorite ways of reconnecting with inner peace, love and the remembrance that I am always surrounded by love and am safe no matter what is happening.

The divine inner child
Aloha everyone,
When I first moved to Hawaii I held classes on healing the inner child. Interestingly enough 20 years later I was asked to speak at a The Center for Spiritual Living in Waikoloa on the month that the theme is the divine child. So I decided to speak about the divine inner child. Funny how things come full circle.
Whenever I am asked to speak I begin to meditate on the topic and I am often pleasantly surprised by what comes up. I may try to record the talk and post an MP3 on my web site.
I know most of my readers live all over the world, but for you lucky few that do live in Hawaii I invite you to join me on December 6th, at 9:30 AM. The service begins with a meditation. The Center for Spiritual Living meets at the Waikoloa Elementary School Library (at the end of Paniolo Avenue in Waikoloa Village). Meditation begins at 9:30 a.m. Regular services begin at 10:00 a.m.
- December 6, 2009 at 9:30 a.m
- Center for Spiritual Living
- Waikoloa Elementary School Library
- Waikoloa, HI on the Big Island
Hope to see some of you there. And by all means pass the message along.
With love and aloha,
Susan

Acts of compassion: Amma the hugging saint
Aloha,
This week two of my themes have been compassion and acts of kindness. Recently I was introduced to Amma the hugging saint. I was deeply moved by the love she shows. She will spend up to 22 hours a day hugging and blessing people an amazing act in and of itself.
In her own words, " As a child, I always wanted to know the cause of misery of mankind and thought that if sorrow is a truth, then there must be a cause and a way out.
" I realize my purpose is to console - to personally wipe
away tears through selfless love, compassion, and service."
Here is a beautiful photo gallery with some of her quotes.

Angels only have one answer: love
Aloha,
Years ago I realized that no matter what the question love is always the answer and no matter what sort of problem we are having if we respond with love the results are far superior. Angels only have one response to anything: love. They just don't have the capacity to judge anyone or anything. Imagine what would happen to your life if you were freed from any thoughts of judgment.
I frequently get questions about forgiveness. When we feel wronged or betrayed by someone it is often a struggle to even entertain the idea of forgiveness no less actually forgive them. Yet if we see things through the eyes of love we are free of the judgment that creates the need for forgiveness.

Fearless Fridays: fear of flying
Aloha,
I used to be terrified of flying. My fear was courtesy of my grandmother. My dad had a small plane and took me flying with him all the time. I loved it. Then he left me at his mother's house for a short time, she hated flying and by the time he came back to get me I was so afraid I threw up just at the thought of flying. It was a very messy flight home to NY from East Mckeesport, PA.
I had no idea they had all sorts of names for fear of flying including aerophobia, aviatophobia, aviophobia or pteromerhanophobia. I continued to be afraid into my early thirties. Oddly enough being on a commercial flight that almost crashed relieved me of that fear.

About Pele
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of the volcano as well as the goddess of transformation, passion, vitality and creation. Pele is a powerful force on the Hawaiian islands. Shortly after I moved to Hawaii, a friend suggested I have my property blessed. I asked Pele if I could live and work on her land. She graciously agreed, so I always take time to thank her and ask for her blessing in my endeavors.
