• We allow that we are both present
• with clear intent that the highest good be served;
• that the Universe/God/Goddess/Spirit supports us; and
• what needs to happen… will happen.

A simple process unfolds out of:

• the recognition that, "Things are at play in my life that no longer serve me.";
• the choice to understand and release them; and
• trust that this will happen.

Precepts/Guiding Principles

• I choose to view the concept of healing by way of seeing us all as always, already whole, and perhaps just in need of a good cleaning of our filters that don't allow us to see ourselves as such.
  
  
• I choose to see all as light— God/dess, Spirit, by whatever name you prefer— that entered into a conscious agreement to forget this once upon a time… and has been on a path ever since… back toward that remembering.
  
  
• While there may be forces or energies that present themselves as dark or evil in the minds of some, I choose to view these as light as yet unrevealed to itself and/or tests in support of our mastery of the holding of only that which is light.
  
  I do not see where the naming of something as evil, cutting it off from the acceptable, stuffing it, denying it… allows for much compassion, the bringing of it back into the light or an ability for it to be healed.
  
  
• I choose to see us each as a work in progress, who is always exactly where we need to be.
  
  
• I continue to choose to concentrate on all I can do to cleanse and clear myself, get out of the way of it, become the hollow bone…
  
  … and to trust my Expanded Self to support me, and Spirit to handle the rest.
  
  
• I embrace the concept of Byron Katie (“Loving What Is”) that there is “my business, your business, and God's business“ and in the end… it is all God's business.”
  

Namaste'
(I acknowledge the light within you, that is also within me)

Assalamu Alaikum
(peace be with you)

Resources

I find I am continually being asked to recommend materials— books, movies, workshops etc.— that can be used as positive input to complement the work we do. What follows is a very incomplete list, but that hopes to provide some direction. We believe in the concept of garbage in, garbage out and choose to honor its preferable opposite. To maintain a higher vibration in this world we choose to maintain a steady diet of postive input— to entrain to, and to counter the lower vibrational consciousness of those not yet ready to play in the realms of positivity, self-responsibility and co-creating one's reality in tandem with Spirit.

I humbly advise you to trust which, if any, of these might be for you, as can be made evident by trusting one's intuition, the “a-ha experience”, the sense of the light bulb going on as you read of one of these or another, etc. As you do this you will find your own natural progression, along your unique path. The following are offered simply as the beginning of a trail of bread crumbs that have been left for you, such as we have found these and other things to have been left for us.

Our Blogs

• Much of what I feel is my personal most up-to-date, uplifting, inspirational and valuable thought can be found at my One World Flag Blog. Here can be found excerpts of the best of our DoingIt!— a journal of positive living magazine (currently in hiatus, but **Free Sample issues may be found here**), as well as excerpts of upcoming books, meditations and other work.
• My wife, Joan's Joan Clark All Topics Blog is a great gathering of some of her most uplifting work, along with—
• her Powerful Passionate Women for Peace Blog— a compilation of her New and Full Moon meditations shared with that powerful group of intentional women.

Downloadable Flyers. In pdf format (printable by way of Adobe Acrobat Reader— installed on most machines or free from www.adobe.com)

• DB Healing Flyer (prints as 2 pages, 188kb). A 2-sided tri-fold flyer detailing all of my healing work, and includes how to prepare for a session, what to expect, how to finish off, etc.
• DB Graphotherapy Flyer (prints as 2 pages, 316kb). A 2-sided tri-fold flyer detailing my graphotherapy work, in support of my instructional videos.
• Client History Sheet (prints as 1 page, 64kb). A one page sheet a new client will be asked to fill out prior to the first session. Printing out and filling out at home can speed things up once here for a session.
• Graphotherapy After-Session Form (prints as 1 page, 108kb). This is printed 3-up, and is an inventory I generally give out after a graphotherapy session… but in case I forget! Or in case you want to get an idea what you might be signing on for.
• Consecration of the Sanctuary Prayer (prints as 1 page, 20kb). I have had a good number of people contacting me who seem to be more and more in crisis. This is a prayer that I continue to invoke in some of the most intense work I do. I believe that, regardless of your belief system, it can truly calm the waters for you, and offer this up not as a placebo, but with the conviction that it will help ease things until we help you bring more tools to bear on the situation. You can read this as is, or substitute in a few words that bring it more in alignment with your concepts of Divinity, the Creative Force and all of that which protects you, especially in time of need. I like to think of the Sanctuary both as the place where I am physically located at the time and the space that is me and within me.

Books

**Look for news in the relatively near future, of soon-to-be-published offerings from Joan and me.**

The Big Three. Of the last couple to few years the 3 books I have most highly recommended, as ones that may help anyone to move to the next level of consciousness and maintain it (beyond my concept of the limitations of The Age of Commisseration, what Caroline Myss calls woundology, into what Robert Scheinfeld calls Phase II thinking, etc.), are:

• Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn
• Loving What Is by Byron Katie
• Busting Loose from the Money Game by Robert Scheinfeld
  
  These can be searched for on the internet. All, to my knowledge, provide some free downloads and/or resources to help you decide whether their work might be for you. All, in my experience, work us toward maintaining the new paradigm of self-responsibility, and appreciating everything that happens as perfect, as raw source material provided for our growth, etc. And all bring an added dimension to most of the prosperity consciousness I see out there, that focuses more on material stuff, and which stops shy of applying the same principles to overall spirituality.
  
  
• Heroes Journey/Quest books. I have always been a sucker for the hero's journey, and pulling far enough back from the immediacy of the reality of my life to witness archetypal forces and lessons and opportunities for rites of passage, etc. at play.
  
  These can take the form of non-fiction in such as the comparative mythology and religion of The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell (also great on audio cd or video dvd as the series in which he was interviewed by Bill Moyers) and The Illustrated World's Religions by Huston Smith; or as fiction, as in the work of Carlos Castaneda, Lynn Andrews, Dan Millman (Way of the Peaceful Warrior and related), Illusions by Richard Bach, The Legend of Bagger Vance (the book goes about 15 levels deeper than the movie, and no you don't have to like golf to like the book), and more. And I also like to send people who are more at the beginning of their awakening to Energy Anatomy by Caroline Myss (also great as a book on tape), again, to bring to the forefront the idea of one's life as more symbolic, metaphorical, archetypal… than literal.
  
  
• Let Every Breath… by Vladimir Vasiliev and Scott Meredith. This is a foundational book for the modern day particpant of Systema, the Russian Martial Art; but it is also a great work to draw anyone's attention to the healing quality of breath. Breathing is a primary focus of all of the healing work I facilitate. We stop breathing when we are in fear. We can use the breath to guide ourselves to realizations about— the degree in which we take in the actual breath of life, or sigh out so much perceived pressure and responsibility, etc.
  
  I find I refer a lot of clients toward some sort of both active and passive breathwork, prayer, meditation, contemplation, etc… as a means toward self-awareness, toward healing, toward breathing through the heart and trusting in Spirit, people in their lives, life in general, one's degree of worthiness and deserving-ness in life, overall healing and well-being, and so much more. And this book is a good starting point, along with some basic exercises we often execute together during session.
  
  
• Books on Core Shamanism. It seems many people are opening to the ancient practices of core shamanism, using such as one of a number of methods one can do for oneself, by way of journeying with the help of spirit teachers, guides, etc.
  
  I recommend Way of the Shaman by Michael Harner, Soul Retrieval and other books by Sandra Ingerman. Along with a cd of drum or other music calibrated to a specific range of beats-per-minute (which can be purchased through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies), one can learn to journey for oneself, begin to trust their own intuition, information received, and thus be reclaiming more of the personal power so many have relinquished to others. Sandra and Michael can be googled as well for many more of their own resources.
  
  **Providing tools for you to reclaim your intuition and personal power is one of the foundations of my work. None of us has special abilities that others cannot achieve or attain. Sure, we each may have different strengths and leanings, but as far as the ability to know oneself and to intentionally help oneself and one another, it is my firm belief that we can each help one another in our times of strength and clarity, and ask for and receive the support we need from trusted others in those out-of-sorts times as well. This, to me, is the core of where we are headed, and is this millenium's version of we are only as strong as the weakest link in the chain.**
  
  
• Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Truly groundbreaking and can be really startling, as it forces us to truly step back from much-ingrained thinking as to who we humans are. Do we wish to continue to be Takers? Puts into perspective a lot of things with respect to service, philanthropy, ending disease and hunger, etc. I would carefully advise on this one— be careful what you wish for! It really is Phase II thinking at its ultimate, but some are hesitant to go this far into it right off the bat. The movie Instinct with Cuba Gooding and Anthony Hopkins was very loosely based on this, and it only covers the most peripheral aspects of the meat of the book.
  
  
• obviously there are many more books that have factored in to who I have become, and which I believe can be of value to others. With time I may add more here.

Movies

• What the Bleep Do We Know?. One of the first prosperity consciousnessmovies. Still good, especially if you are really vigilant to apply the Phase II-type (see Busting Loose book above) consciousness to it.
• The Secret. Same advice as What the Bleep. Both of these movies can gain you access to other writers/speakers in the quantum thought genere that you may resonate with and choose to delve into.
• Peaceful Warrior. A good adaptation of Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman.
• The Celestine Prophecy. I felt the book by James Redfield and this movie each had certain limitations (specific to couching spiritual principles within an action setting intended to engage readers/viewers)… but that I forgave them their literary/cinematic sins because I was willing to be drawn into the material and the message.
• Conversations with God. Based on the books. Same comment as Celestine above.
• Renegade. This is not for everyone. It is basically a fable (with its moral of the story) of an ayahuasca experience, and the inherent (again) Phase II type realization out of that… worked into a western. The scenes of the ayahuasca experiences at the end of the movie are as realistic as I have seen. The lessons of— the illusion of us being separate from one another, Spirit, etc., in these bodies, is presented well, as is the shamanic feel of the wisdom of the Indians who take these people through their journey.
• A sampler of movies that show us that things are exactly as they should be: Whether these were intended as spiritual fare or not, I read into them really great messages about trusting that things work out… always. Groundhog Day with Bill Murray; Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow; and the recent August Rush.

Audiotapes and series

• As mentioned above, Energy Anatomy by Caroline Myss.
• Potentially any of the channeled information of Abraham (Esther and Jerry Hicks), Ramtha (J.Z. Knight) [both of What the Bleep and/or the Secret], and others… as you feel you resonate with the presentation of any of these.
  
  Note: I believe wisdom is wisdom. If something is said that speaks to you and provides value in your life, you might still be able to incorporate it into your world and personal view, whether or not you believe in, or have a conversation in your head about, the idea of people channeling others. If we are all God; if we are co-creating an outer world that reflects back to us what we need— in order to learn and grow, in order that we achieve our highest in any given moment— then any of the particulars of such that could otherwise knock one out of the conversation, and thus the lessons and opportunity available out of the conversation can be rendered moot.

Intuitive Practices. etc.

I have known many intuitive people in my life. And I finally began working my way around toward honoring my own intuition, which I emphasize to all as a part of reclaiming one's personal power, so often dishonored, disallowed, leaked and given to, or stolen with our complicity by, other people. Finding the return path to honoring your own inner wisdom is within the intention of all the work we do. Some of the following have proven worthwhile for me, and may resonate with you.

• Dowsing/Muscle-testing (kinesiology)/card reading/etc. Initially one might be afraid to think that s/he has all the answers within. There can be doubt or distrust based on bad choices of the past, and thus one might initially wish to play with the recovery of self-trust, by way of seemingly outside tools. I have taught my clients how to dowse with a pendulum or muscle test. Others resonate with cards or I-Ching type tools that boil down to— what appears at a given time pertains to what is going on at the time. The endpoint of any of these practices is: when you see someone who uses such tools, you also see that they eventually hone their intuition to the point of not needing them anymore. Often they might continue to use them solely to take the focus of the person across from them (who might not believe enough that inner guidance in any of us can come to be fully trusted), off of themselves and onto said tool.
  
  Should you take on any such practice(s), know that as you work more toward becoming the hollow bone— in the Native American concept of cleansing, clearing, purifying oneself in order that more and more unadulterated Spirit can come through— you shall no longer need to hide behind your tools either. Know that you are exercising the muscle of discernment, by way of the heart and not the mind, and coming to trust your inner compass. Never lose sight of this, and never come to believe in any tool over your heart and your intention, or you humble connection to Spirit.
  
  
• Graphotherapy. I have long been certified in the discipline of Graphotherapy. As opposed to graphology and grapho-analysis, which pretty much believe your writing shows who you are and that this is basically unchangeable, the system I practice believes that writing is a graphic representation of who we are, and that it can be changed. Please visit my Video page for more on the only approved videos produced on this work. What does your handwriting say about you? A lot! We all learned to write basically the same way, and we have kept what represents us and tossed away that which does not.
  
  [Note: should you come across anything from Vimala Rodgers naysaying these videos on her system, and wish for some clarification, I am happy to provide this. She, as sole subject presenting the material within these programs, obviously was not shot without her knowledge, permission, and full go-ahead, with approval given at every stage (the original correspondence of which I am still in possession of), by way of signed contract, to which one of us (guess which) was in complete compliance. Her subsequent non-compliance put great financial strain on me at a time when it I was less able to bear it. Chalk this up to a great lesson— that an absolute master in one area, is still a human “work in progress” in others; and that vanity and “fear of being seen on a larger scale” can arise at a magnitude that dwarfs commitment, integrity and one's word. Let it be known that I have never allowed the personal nature of this discrepancy to cloud my impression that this is one of the most potent tools for physical transformation that exists; especially as one can do it for oneself and feel it working without any outside influence.
  
  
• Active and Passive Meditation/Prayer/Contemplation/etc. I believe a conscious life can and must include both active and passive versions of such thought, by whatever name you feel comfortable. the passive state is where one becomes the empty vessel, comes to understand thought for what it is (most often more illusion and distraction of the ego mind, from that which is eternal and unchanging). Most people understand the active part— asking for answers, praying for things to go well, whatever. Without an equal balance allotted to the passive, listening state what new, true information can be received?
  
  I teach a basic method of breathing in, through the heart— breathing in what one needs, breathing in light, love, peace, health, harmony, etc. to the body and mind parts that are constricted, ill, resistant, etc… holding that breath in a bit… then exhaling out that which is no longer needed and which no longer serves— out, down through the body, down toward and into the ground where it can be transmuted. Extend this process to include noting whether the breathing in or out is the harder: whether it is harder for one to breathe in the breath of life, whether one is worthy, deserving, whether there is more resistance there than… to breathing out, exhaling, deeply sighing out pressures and stress and all that we hold within us that is heavy. Extend this to now breathing in all we need, through our hearts… then exhaling light and love and compassion, joy, hope, good mojo to all that might need to pull it down from where you send it up there in the ethers. There is obviously more to this, but this basic concept can be built upon. And the passive version basically involves focus and gentle concentration only on one's breath, and working toward making it a completely balanced circuit, where amount in equals amount out, with no disruptions… along with a focus, in the center of one's mind, on the highest vibration one can envision— be that by whatever name one feels most comfortable (God/dess, Great Spirit, Buddah, Allah, Jesus, the Virgin, the Creative Force of the Universe, etc.). I work to incorporate such into the mindset of all, in a way that includes everyone and excludes no one. In this manner, this system is complementary to every spiritual and religious practice and belief. Just a tool, to be used in conjunction with all your other tools, for your highest benefit.
  
  [Note/Disclaimer: I feel very strongly about a couple of things with respect to intentional work on the behalf of others:
  1. Permission. We cannot know what a person's destiny/karma/dharma/etc. is. I always put in a disclaimer before any such prayer work, to the effect of “I offer this in the highest interest of this person, to be accepted or rejected as is appropriate…”, some version of that. We can not know, for example, whether a person's having of an illness, and lessons to be learned out of that, is the contract of that person… or whether being free or cured of that illness is in the highest. Obviously, imposing one over the other by way of our prayers/intentions, could be the wrong choice. So be mindful of what we do not know.
  2. The Disposal of “Bad” Energy and Gook. To the degree that any practitioner/facilitator/healer/energy worker believes they are drawing out bad or dark energies or that which is no longer needed, they are responsible to not just toss it anywhere. I have always been taught to be mindful of this, and to send it to a large body of water, to the Earth, or some other similarly-conscious-minded method of disposal. The idea is to send everything to “the Light” to be transmuted.]
  
  
  [This is what I feel I can offer that is the most use at this time. I hope to devote more time here in the future to add more useful resources that I feel are of the highest vibration and consciousness. You may also be interested in various things that may be linked to from the Links page of the One World Flag— an international symbol of diversity.]
