“We found the intimacy we have craved for so long”

I’m continuously amazed at what happens during our retreats, but this past week was so phenomenal, that I just have to tell you about it.

Before Catherine and her husband came to us, they were like so many people – just existing, not really living. Going along to get along and not experiencing the love, joy, peace, and intimacy that makes life so delicious. They had been married 27 years (!), they had been through some challenging and painful times and as she says, “We both desired to find out what was missing in our relationship.”

And isn’t that what we all want? When life isn’t juicy and wonderful, when our relationships are lacking, we want to find out what’s missing and fix it! And that’s just what happened!

This is all from the beautiful testimonial she just wrote on Trustpilot.com and I just had to share it with you.

catherine ssa couples testimonial

Here are the highlights:

  • Catherine says, “I was uncertain about our future together… I lacked self-confidence, I was thinking that I was not enough for my husband…”

Oh gosh, doesn’t that just tear at your heart? Being together with someone for 27 years and having the feeling that you’re still not enough for them?

  • “From Day One, we were able to realize the heavy loads that we had been respectively carrying in our adult life… childhood wounds that had been overlooked, ignored or simply unknown to us.”

This is exactly what happens in our retreats. We think that the problems in our lives are caused by our circumstances, other people, our partners, our lack of good luck, etc. But what’s going on for almost everyone are these wounds that are unhealed, overlooked, and ignored. And as Catherine says, most people don’t even know they have them.

  • “Our adventure went far beyond what we had somewhat imagined. The team of practitioners, healers, spiritual guides that helped us on our journey was phenomenal! We both experienced several breakthroughs during our retreat. That was truly amazing! It all makes sense now!”

Going through the process with our amazing Practitioners leads to these incredible breakthroughs. And that’s what happens. Suddenly…everything makes sense!

  • “After my Soul Adventure I am much more confident about myself. I understand why I was so afraid to speak up, to share my truth and to express my feminine essence. I am becoming the woman and the wife that I was always destined to be… a soul full of love, joy and peace!”

Oh my Goddess, how amazing is that? To finally, really find her voice and become the woman she was always destined to be? Full of love, joy, and peace. It doesn’t get any better than that.

And here’s the real topper:

  • “From now on, we have the tools to pamper our inner child in order to heal our wounds and to let our beautiful energy emerge and radiate all around us. Who we really are on a soul level is being revealed. It is a fantastic and priceless discovery about ourselves! We are now able to support each other on our beautiful healing journey and we are confident that it will lead our relationship to a much higher level and that it will deepen the connection and the intimacy we have both craved for so long. Our love deserves it! We are both so excited about the future now and we are so looking forward to becoming the best partners that we know we have the ability and the will to be! We just both wish that we had initiated that journey a long time ago…”

That just brings tears to my eyes.

Having the tools to let their beautiful energy emerge and support each other as they deepen their connection.

To find the intimacy they both craved for so long.

And as she says, “Our love deserves it!”

Don’t you deserve it? Doesn’t your relationship deserve it?

One of the other things that Catherine said which I love so much and which so many people say is, “my Soul Adventure was so much more than I ever imagined it could be.”

Isn’t that just the best? Because that’s what happens most of the time.

She also said, “We both just wish that we had initiated this journey a long time ago…”

Don’t wait!

How many months or years are you going to wait, “hoping” your life will somehow get better?

How many months or years are you going to wait, “hoping” your relationship will get better. Don’t wait 27 years. Don’t wait 27 days.

As Einstein said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

So, by definition, not doing something to change up the problems in your life or relationship is simply insane.

Don’t perpetuate the insanity. Give us a call. Do something different. A Sedona Soul Adventure has worked spectacularly, amazingly well for thousands of people, including Catherine and her husband. Are you next?

The Egypt trip is filling up fast! Join us February 20-March 5, 2023 100% Refundable to September 1, 2023

It’s amazing, we just announced the Egypt trip last Sunday and it’s filling up fast! I hope you’ll join me on this trip of a lifetime.

  • Is Egypt on your bucket list?
  • Have you always dreamed of seeing the Pyramids?
  • Can you imagine seeing the Sphinx for the first time?
  • Can you imagine seeing the treasures of King Tut, up close and personal?
  • How about cruising on the Nile on a luxurious 5-star cruise ship, stopping at temples along the way?
  • Or staying in a beautiful 5 star hotel that is right next to the Pyramid?

“The Egypt trip was the trip of a lifetime.” – Pam O’Connor


If Egypt is calling you, let me tell you 10 reasons why you should go on this trip:

debra stangl egypt tour

1. This will be the last year to avoid the huge crowds. One of the few silver linings of the pandemic is not as many people are traveling, so the crowds won’t be there.


That was really wonderful this past February when we were there.

2. The price is Virtually All-Inclusive – it includes round trip air from New York (JFK) to Cairo, 4 flights within Egypt, 5-star hotels, 5-star – 5-day cruise on the Nile, breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day, all transportation, admission to all the sites, our Egyptian guide (who reads hieroglyphics!), and even your tips for hotel and wait staff. 

3. Seeing the Pyramids, Karnak, and Abu Simbel, and cruising the Nile in 5-star luxury. Seeing all these amazing places is so incredible. Staying in 5-star hotels and cruising down the Nile in a 5-star cruise ship, stopping at temples along the way, is simply amazing. In Cairo we stay at the incredible Mean House hotel. Can you imagine being at the pool and looking up at the Pyramids?  And we are on one of the newest cruise ships on the Nile.

Can you imagine being at the pool and looking up at the Pyramids?

And we are on one of the newest cruise ships on the Nile, the Farah.

You can see it here.

Can you imagine floating on the Nile on this? I can't wait!!

4. Absolutely everything is taken care of for you. I’ve been working with Guardian Travel since 1995 and they are such a joy. They greet us warmly at the airport, and after that, we don’t touch another bag for 2 weeks. They take care of everything in such a wonderful way, from our hotels to all our transportation, food, even giving the guards some baksheesh (tip money) so that we can do meditations in certain spots (don’t tell anyone!). They are another Egyptian treasure. All you have to do is show up and have a fantastic time.

5. The exchange rate now is almost unbelievable ($18 US dollars to 1 Egyptian pound. In previous years it’s been $3 to 1). This will make the incredible shopping even more incredible. Look at that fabulous rug that Melissa and Chris got on one of our last trips, it’s so beautiful! 


6. This is a spiritual experience unlike any other. If you feel a pull toward Egypt, that’s probably because you have had a past life there. The energy in Egypt is amazing and experiencing these places is phenomenal. I had an email recently from someone who was on one of our recent trips. 

She said the ceremony inside the Great Pyramid (we have 2 hours of private time just for our group inside the Great Pyramid) completely changed her life. And from everything that’s happened to her in the past few years (all of it amazing and incredible), it obviously has! That’s what the Egypt trip does.

7. Being with other like-minded seekers adds such a wonderful level to the trip. Doing ceremony and meditations, talking about who built the Pyramids and why, really connecting. It’s a total experience and so wonderful to share with other like-minded people. 

8. Don’t worry if you don’t have someone to travel with. Our groups usually fall in love with each other within 48 hours and make friendships that last a lifetime. While we have lots of couples, most of our people are Singles, even if they’re in a relationship, because their partner isn’t that interested in Egypt. So you’ll have lots of new friends immediately, that’s what happens on our trip! 

9. The trip is perfect. Can you believe it, this is my 23rd trip to Egypt! And I’ve been doing this particular trip since 1995! I have to say, after 18 years of leading groups to Egypt (and over 30 years of going there myself), plus all the tweaking and adjustments I’ve made over the years, this trip is perfect.

10. We have lots of fun! Not only is this a life-changing spiritual journey, it’s also lots of fun! Seeing all these amazing sites, cruising down the Nile, eating great food, shopping, talking, laughing — it’s the trip of a lifetime. We even have a night on the cruise ship where we dress up like Egyptians. We go to all the must see places:

  • The Great Pyramid (including 2 hours of private time just for our group for ceremony)
  • The Sphinx
  • Karnak
  • Luxor
  • Abu Simbel
  • Cairo Museum (to see the complete King Tut exhibit and all the other treasures)

And new this year, the fabulous Grand Egyptian Museum will open in November 2022 with the complete King Tut exhibit and all the other treasures. I can’t wait! This place is huge and we’ll spend an entire day there.

And we go to places that the average tourist doesn’t go to:

  • Tomb of King Tut
  • Tomb of Nefertari
  • Tomb of Ramses VI
  • Tomb of Seti I
  • Isis Temple at Philae
  • Hathor Temple at Dendera
  • Horus Temple at Edfu
  • Kom Ombo (dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and Horus)
  • The Temple of Abydos

One of the first things you might be thinking is – “Is Egypt safe?” I was just there in February and (as usual) it was wonderful, incredible, and safe. Everyone in the group commented that they felt completely safe. As I said, this will be my 23rd trip to Egypt (my first was in 1983). The Egyptian people are some of the warmest, friendliest people you will ever meet, and they love Americans.

“The Egypt trip was awesome and amazing! Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable and so much fun. I felt completely safe, the Egyptian people are so wonderful. I loved our group, we all loved each other right away, just like Debra said we would. I manifested the trip using Debra’s “Bringing In Egypt” meditation – not only did I end up with enough money to come on the trip, a few weeks before I left my mother gifted me some additional spending money and my boss gave me a bonus that was completely unexpected!” Cyndee Wickstrom 

Come with me on this trip of a lifetime – I’d love to have you!

Will you be getting this from your beloved on Valentine’s Day?

What do you think you’re getting from your beloved for Valentine’s Day? What are you giving your beloved?

I made this video a while back and it’s turned out to be one of the most popular of my videos on YouTube.

Watch this to see what I think is the most important thing you can give them.

Josh and Jen say their Couples Retreat was “the most amazing experience we have had in our lives” and “We feel like we are on fire!”

“This was probably the most amazing experience we have had in our lives and definitely as a couple. We came out of the adventure much closer and with a renewed sense of direction. We feel like we are on fire! We are ready to go out into the world and live our lives with joy and purpose! We want to make the most of our human experience and use our close partnership to support each other’s life purposes. Our lives have changed forever because of our Soul Adventure and it was just the boost we needed to grow in marriage and in life. We have a whole new perspective on our lives and we can truly see the endless possibilities now. We both feel so blessed that we were able to experience this adventure together and we will most definitely return to discover even more about our true selves as we travel along this path. Thanks to everyone at Sedona Soul Adventures who made this experience possible. We wish for everyone to receive the love and joy that they have given us.”

Last Chance to Join our Breathwork Training starting February 20 (it includes a 6-day retreat in Sedona February 20-25!)

debra-chakras

The breathwork process is part art, part science, and all magic! And the key to unlocking all of that magic is not just learning the technique of the breathwork modality, but even more importantly, the ability of the facilitator to create and hold a big, clear, high vibrational space. It is in that space that profound, multi-dimensional miracles of healing and transformation can happen.

The response has been incredible and so many people are very SERIOUS about learning how to do this amazing work and to make their lives richer and fuller in multi-dimensional ways.

Happy Valentine’s Day! The day of love and lovers. 

happy valentines day

On this special day, I want to tell you about something I’ve come to believe, just in the past year, about relationships. It’s something that seems like I should have known this all along and when you hear it, you’re probably going to say something like, “Well, of course, Debra, everybody knows that.” 

But just stay with me for a moment because I think you might be surprised to find out that what I think the #1 thing that you either have or don’t have in your relationship, that either makes it or breaks it and that is…

Are you nurturing each other?
Does your beloved nurture you?
And are you nurturing your beloved? 

It seems like a simple question, but it’s not at all. Because it’s about a way of being. It’s a decision you’re making, in every moment.  

Do you truly want to nurture your beloved?  

Do you want to nurture them in the way they want to be nurtured? 

love-crazy

Or are you constantly picking at them, criticizing them and thinking nasty thoughts about them?

As most of you know, I was a divorce attorney for over 20 years and now I’ve done couples work in Sedona for almost 20 years. It appears to me that relationships are either mainly in the “I love you” zone or the “You drive me crazy” zone. And it seems like once you’ve rounded the corner into the “you drive me crazy” zone, there’s not much going back unless you really do something about it.

couple avoiding

There are basic problems that seem to show up a lot when the nurturing factor isn’t there. And in my experience, there are things that seem unique to women and unique to men. This is also borne out in John Grey’s Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus series of books (so please don’t write me that I’m stereotyping — I’ve watched this for almost 40 years!). 

mars and venus

If you’re a woman, do you: 

  • Complain a lot to your partner? 
  • Complain about your partner to other people?
  • Have you taken everything over because he won’t do the stuff you want him to do, in the way you want him to do it? 
tune out

If you’re a man: 

  • Are you engaging emotionally with your partner? 
  • Are you able to just sit and listen to your partner or do you always give advice, even when it’s not asked for?
  • Are there times when you simply tune your partner out? 

These are all danger signs. Big signals telling you, “STOP! You’ve got to do something here.”

If you’re a woman, stop complaining and stop doing everything because he’s not doing it right.

i want to nurture

If you’re a man, start listening and start really engaging emotionally with her.  

The biggest thing, is that you both have to make this basic decision: “I love this person and I want to nurture them.”  

So many books and articles say that communication is the most important thing in a relationship and of course, communication is extremely important, but think about it…

communication

Deciding to truly nurture your partner is at another layer below communication and everything else. If you are in nurturing mode, your communication will always be wonderful, the way you treat them will always be wonderful, and you’ll be having the perfect amount of sex and time together, because it will be based on each of you nurturing the other. 

nurture your partner

If you’re finding that you’re out of the nurturing zone, you can recognize that and you can do something about it. You literally can shift everything around by making this simple decision:

I want to nurture this person and I’m going to figure out how to do that.

drop resentments

It takes 

  • Willingness 
  • Dropping your resentments about what’s happened in the past 
  • Coming back into loving connection 

Now I know, doing these things is easier said than done. Letting go of past resentments is usually pretty difficult for both parties and that’s usually what’s holding one or both of you back from really getting into and staying in the nurturing zone.  

Or maybe you don’t have clarity about what you truly want. It’s hard to go out of your way to do something for the other person when you’re maybe not 100% sure that you want to be with them. 

happy couple sunset

Let us help you get back into the nurturing zone. Come to Sedona and do a Couples Retreat. Give it to yourselves as a Valentine’s Day present. Wouldn’t that be the most amazing present you’ve ever had? Coming back into the love and connection that brought you together in the first place? 

Call us and connect with one of our Angel Guides. They’ll connect with both of you separately and really dig deep to discover what’s keeping you out of the nurturing zone. Then they’ll put together a retreat that’s custom designed for exactly what you need and want, to bring you back into the love and connection and sizzle that you crave, giving you tools to stay in the nurturing zone forever.

“I went into my week-long retreat with very high expectations – and these expectations were exceeded beyond my wildest dreams. I particularly appreciated the flow and rhythm of my individual sessions, which magically built on each other throughout the week and were facilitated by some of the most gifted and skillful healers I have worked with. I highly recommend Sedona Soul Adventures for those who are looking to do an intensive spiritual dive and discovery. What I learned about myself and the world in one short week was priceless and has permanently shifted my worldview for the better! Thank you Debra and all of the team that supported, guided and facilitated healing for me.”

Our shaman for our Peru trip, Jorge Luis Delgado, is one of the spiritual Masters of our time (June 17-30 – we’ll be at Machu Picchu on the Solstice!!)
 

 

One of the most amazing things about our Machu Picchu and Peru trip is our incredible guide and shaman, Jorge Luis Delgado. I truly believe Jorge is one of the masters on the planet right now.

And to be in his presence for 2 weeks – doing ceremonies, learning his teachings, it’s just so incredible and amazing.

Jorge’s background is so interesting. He grew up on Lake Titicaca with a family of very little means. Amazingly, he became a tour guide throughout Peru and after a few years, became very well known.

Although he grew up in a very spiritual region, he thought that all of the talk about energy and Pachamama (the Earth Mother) was a little bit crazy and not something he was interested in at all.

He became more and more successful, continuing his guiding and eventually owning some hotels in Peru.

And then, suddenly he started having dreams about a portal, a doorway to other dimensions. After having the dream over and over again, he finally went to the elders in his village. They told him that it was his soul purpose to find this doorway.

As his spiritual awakening continued, Jorge spent a great deal of time finding the portal. He describes his spiritual journey and finding the portal in his book, “Andean Awakenings.” On the trip, we will do an incredible ceremony at the doorway.

One of the things I love best about Jorge is that even though he is an incredibly spiritual person, he is also very grounded, very practical and very much a real person. He is married (and his wife is an attorney!) and he has three grown children. His teachings are practical, wonderful and life-changing.

Here’s a picture of me and Jorge at Machu Picchu during one of our last trips.

DebraJorge2014“My journey to Peru helped guide me through spiritual healing that has been needed to free my mind and spirit from past resentments, fears and pain. All of the ceremonies were beautiful and enlightening. I have been home for a week and my family has made comments about how happy I seem. I really am – I feel better!”

Decide now to come on the trip. It’s going to be amazing. Can you imagine being at Machu Picchu on the Solstice?!

Is this the year you give yourself the gift of Machu Picchu?

Wishing you a Kick Ass week to start off your Kick Ass New Year!

 
Okay, I know that we all say this each and every year, but really, I just can’t believe that 2018 is over and I really can’t believe how quickly it all went. With everything that has happened this year, it just feels like everything is speeding up to a level that we almost can’t even fathom. And the reason it feels like that is because that’s exactly what’s happening.
 
Everything is speeding up.
 
But here’s the thing – most people seem to talk about that as if it’s a bad thing. I want to talk to you today about how not only is that not a bad thing, it’s a good thing and here are some ways that you can take advantage of everything speeding up.
There are all kinds of scientific explanations of things that are going on right now, including an increase in the Earth’s frequency, called the Schuman Resonance. I’m not going to go into all the scientific stuff, I just want to talk about that feeling that most of us have, that everything is speeding up and going faster, is true. We experience it all the time with our technology, but we also just experience it in our lives, most notably with how quickly time seems to be passing.
 
I want to encourage you to use this energy for yourself for this New Year, to harness it and utilize it. Instead of resisting it, use it. Befriend it.  
 
So, how can you do that? The first way is to get clear on what you want.
I’m not talking about regular New Year’s Resolutions, which are usually too unspecific, too grandiose and not realistic. 
I’m talking about Realistic Attainable Measurable Goals. Start by going through all of the important areas of your life:

 

 

  1. Body
  2. Work
  3. Relationships
  4. Money

Get laser-focused on what you want this year. Work on all of these if you’d like, or maybe just take one or two to work on – that increases the likelihood of success. Really focus – that’s what will make all the difference.

After you have gotten laser-focused on exactly what you want to accomplish, then write this down somewhere where you will see it every day, so you can keep feeding it into your subconscious. Studies have shown that just by writing it down, you increase the likelihood of it happening by 50%… 50% just by writing it down!

Next, develop your game plan. What do you need to do on a monthly, weekly and daily basis to make this happen?

Some goals lend themselves better than others to this. But for example, if you want to write a book by the end of the year, you’re going to need to write X number of chapters each month to make that happen.

So, develop your game plan and then break it down into monthly, weekly and daily chunks.

Finally, and here is my favorite part – the part that I think is the most important one and the one that I know will give you the most bang for your buck: Spend three minutes each day Meditating about these things, Fantasizing about these things and Feeling and Knowing that they are happening.

Here’s the best way to do this:

Set the timer on your smartphone for 3 minutes. Doing it for only 3 minutes will help insure you do this every day. And setting it on your timer will stop you from thinking about how much time is left.

Close your eyes and put your hand over your heart with the intention of bringing in Heart Coherence. It’s not necessary for you to completely understand what that means and I’ll be talking about it in a later video, so for now, just set that intention.  

Start breathing deeply into your heart. Think of something or feel something that makes you feel good.

Feel gratitude. Feel love for someone. Think about your dog or your cat – that always works for me.

Just do something briefly that is going to bring you into a peaceful, easy feeling.

Now start thinking about the things you want to have happen and start fantasizing about these things, and feeling and knowing that they are in the process of happening. See the energy, this faster, higher vibration energy that is speeding up everything on the planet right now, and see it feeding these goals and desires. See it amp them up as they come to you faster.

Next, see yourself as if these things have already happened. What do you look like? How do you talk? How does your body move? Feel the excitement that you’ll feel as they start to come true. Feel the gratitude that you’ll feel as they start to come true.

Ask yourself the question “What do I need to know right now?” Breathe and listen to the answers.  

Just as the timer goes off, take a final deep breath and feel the knowing, the absolute knowing that this is happening. Open your eyes and write down any answers, thoughts or ideas that came to you.  

Consistency is the Key. If you do this consistently, and I mean every day, I think you will be amazed at what will happen.

Because you are being focused and you’re energizing your goals and desires with this speeded up energy that is on the planet right now. And even better, you’re utilizing that energy to bring your goals and desires to you even more quickly.
So that’s my New Year gift for you. I hope you’ll do it and I’d love to hear your success stories as they happen.

“I was fighting a battle of fear…”

I received the most beautiful message from someone who did a Soul Adventure with us earlier this month.

Teresa told me her Soul Adventure changed her life and she wrote to me, “Thank you for your vision and putting this Soul Adventure program together. Your life will definitely be a legacy.”

One of the powerful things we do is to have people write a postcard to themselves which we then send to them so when they get home, they’re reminded again of what happened.

Teresa wrote:

Before My Soul Adventure I Was:

  • Fighting a battle of fear
  • Low Self Worth
  • No Confidence
  • Chronic Pain
  • Lowe Energy

After My Soul Adventure I Am:

  • Strong
  • Confident
  • I found my voice
  • I am no longer fearful to use my voice
  • I have found a way to assist myself with pain naturally
  • I am protected
  • I am loved
  • I am strong

Oh Teresa, that just brought tears to my eyes. It’s so interesting because when people come to us telling us that they are in pain, we always tell them that we aren’t doctors, we don’t have doctors on staff, and so dealing directly with physical issues is something we don’t do. But I know in my own life, that there is always an underlying emotional and spiritual aspect and that if those can be dealt with, it’s amazing what happens.

For most of us, our pain is really about our emotional and spiritual pain. For Teresa, it was her fear. And now she doesn’t feel fearful, she feels strong and confident and whole. What a beautiful transformation!

Using Gratitude to Bring in Everything You Want in Your Life

Thanksgiving is this week and it’s such an important time, because it (hopefully) has everyone focused on giving thanks, i.e., on being grateful for what we have.
 
Find out how you can utilize the Gateway of Gratitude to bring in everything that you want in your life.

Why is Gratitude so powerful?
Gratitude brings us into a higher energetic vibration.
When we are feeling negative emotions – anger, frustration, jealousy – we are vibrating at a much lower frequency and worse, we are attracting to ourselves exactly what we don’t want and bringing in more and more of it. Experiencing true gratitude is one of the easiest and fastest ways to bring yourself back into a higher and faster energetic vibration that will then attract everything you DO want into your life. This is what I call the Gateway of Gratitude — the process of utilizing Gratitude as a doorway or portal to bring yourself into alignment with what you want:

 

 

  • Love
  • Abundance
  • Vibrant Health
  • Spiritual Connection

What do you want? Do you want your relationship to be more loving, more expansive, more fulfilling? Do you have a situation with a friend, a co-worker or a mate that is causing you to stay in disconnection? Are you having a health challenge?
Use the Gateway of Gratitude to change it around and to bring in exactly what you want. More love, more abundance, a healthy body. This simple process can literally work miracles in your life!
Here’s the process:
For the next 30 days, take 3 minutes (that’s all!) each morning and write 5 things that you are truly grateful for about the person or the situation. For example, if you are having difficulties in your relationship, write 5 things you truly appreciate about the other person. It must be things that are true for you. So, if it’s something about your mate it could be:

  1. I love his/her beautiful blue eyes.
  2. I love that he/she likes dogs.
  3. I love that he/she is good at his job.
  4. I love that he has things that he enjoys, like baseball.
  5. I love that he/she loves our children.

You can also write about things in your life that you are grateful for. The easiest way into the Gateway of Gratitude is to be thankful for what you already have, for what is. And there are many, many things in your life to be grateful for: the sun is shining, the earth is spinning on its axis, you are alive, you are breathing.

After you have written down your 5 things, take just a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breath and truly FEEL the gratitude for this person or situation. The more you can infuse emotion into the process, the faster you will move into the Gateway of Gratitude. If you find you can’t muster the feeling, it’s okay, just breathe and let it go. As you move more and more into the process, it will start to come. Don’t force it.

You can repeat things you have written again, especially towards the end of the 30 days. Just make sure you are writing things you truly believe.

Don’t tell the other person (or anyone else for that matter) that you are doing this. The magic lies in what you will start to see happening in just a short time — as little as 3 days!

To begin, get yourself a little spiral notebook, a new one that you can pick up for 50¢ at Walgreens. Of course, you can get a fancy journal, but all you need is a new book for this new life you are creating. I prefer a small spiral notebook because you can easily carry it around with you and write down more “Attitudes of Gratitude” as you think of them during the day. It’s also wonderful throughout the process to go back and read what you have written in the prior days and to watch how your Gratitude and appreciation continue to deepen.

There also seems to be something more powerful about actually writing the “High 5” in your own handwriting, rather than typing it on a computer. You are infusing your own self, your own energy into the process.

The key is consistency. Go into the Gateway of Gratitude every single day for 30 days with no interruption. Taking only 3 minutes is a good way to get yourself to do it every day, so that you are not spending a lot of time.
When you have another issue that comes up, start another 30 day process. Or better still, use the process consistently each day to bring yourself into connection.

I have used this process in my own life and with my coaching clients for years. My favorite results (and the most typical) are when my client will say something like, “It’s so amazing. My husband has suddenly become so much more loving. Nothing has changed, except that I’ve been doing this process.”

I had a coaching client a few years ago who contacted me because she knew I had Sedona Soul Adventures and she knew I had been a divorce attorney for 20 years, and she wanted me to coach her through her divorce. We started the coaching with me asking her why she wanted a divorce. Everything she was telling me seemed rather minor, certainly not enough to break up a family over. I started talking to her about the things she actually like about her husband. I had her start a Gratitude Journal that day.

What had started out as a 2 year divorce coaching process (because that’s how long her lawyer told her it was going to take) ended in 60 days. She started the Gratitude journal about her husband and everything switched around – her husband became more loving, more attentive, more caring, they started having great sex again…everything switched around and that was over 5 years ago.

We use this with people in our retreats here in Sedona and I have seen people change relationships, heal their bodies, create more abundance, create better relationships with their children – every area of your life can be transformed using this simple, but powerful process.

How to Bring in the Love of Your Life (Plus Everything Else You Want!)

debra-richard weddingThis past weekend, Richard and I went to Southern California to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary! It was heaven.

And here’s a picture of us on our wedding day in the red rocks of Sedona. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years already.

Bringing in this relationship was one of the best manifestations I’ve ever done in my life and I talk about it in a video I did two years ago, but it’s so good I wanted to share it again with you. Because it’s not just about manifesting a loving relationship, it’s about what you need to do to bring in anything that you want in your life.

Watch my video:

As I talk about in my book, it’s all about energy. How do you shift out of the energy of disappointment and fear and back into the energy of Excited Expectation? It’s simple, but it’s not necessarily easy.

Let us help. If there’s something in your life that’s eluding you – like a loving relationship (or satisfying work, or prosperity and abundance) – do a retreat with us. We’ll identify what’s blocking the energy, move out the blocks and bring you back into connection on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. When you’re operating in connection, everything flows to you with grace and ease.

i want my transformation

Or if you’d prefer, call us at (928) 204-5988 or click here and one of our Soul Guides will call you.

They’ll connect with you (or both of you for a couples retreat) in deep conversation. Then they’ll custom design the perfect retreat for you, working with our Master Practitioners here in beautiful, mystical Sedona.

Would you like to speak to someone today about doing a Soul Adventure? We’re even open on Sunday, because we’re here for you! Remember, there’s no cost or obligation and you can do it in-Sedona or At Home.

Anne says her Soul Adventure has brought in more “loving relationships”

I’m so happy and excited that our Egypt trip is happening! We have a few spots left, so if you’d like to go, you need to decide now to join us on this trip of a lifetime.

  • Is Egypt on your bucket list?
  • Have you always dreamed of seeing the Pyramids?
  • Can you imagine seeing the Sphinx for the first time?
  • Can you imagine seeing the treasures of King Tut, up close and personal?
  • How about cruising on the Nile on a luxurious 5-star cruise ship, stopping at temples along the way?
  • Or staying in a beautiful 5 star hotel that is right next to the Pyramid?


“The Egypt trip was the trip of a lifetime.” – Pam O’Connor

If Egypt is calling you, let me tell you 10 reasons why you should go on this trip:

1. This is a great time to avoid the crowds. One of the few silver linings of the pandemic is not as many people are traveling, so the crowds won’t be there. That was really wonderful this past February when we were there.

2. The price is All-Inclusive – it includes round trip air from New York (JFK) to Cairo, 4 flights within Egypt, 5-star hotels, 5-star – 5-day cruise on the Nile, 3 meals each day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), all transportation, admission to all the sites, our Egyptian guide (who reads hieroglyphics!), and even your tips for hotel and wait staff.

3. Seeing the Pyramids, Karnak, and Abu Simbel, and cruising the Nile in 5-star luxury. Seeing all these amazing places is so incredible. Staying in 5-star hotels and cruising down the Nile in a 5-star cruise ship, stopping at temples along the way, is simply amazing. In Cairo we stay at the incredible Mean House hotel.

Can you imagine being at the pool and looking up at the Pyramids? 

And we are on the newest cruise ship on the Nile, the Historia.

historia cruise

You can see it here.

historia cruise 2

Can you imagine floating on the Nile on this? I can’t wait!!

4. Absolutely everything is taken care of for you. I’ve been working with Guardian Travel since 1995 and they are such a joy. They greet us warmly at the airport, and after that, we don’t touch another bag for 2 weeks. They take care of everything in such a wonderful way, from our hotels to all our transportation, food, even giving the guards some baksheesh (tip money) so that we can do meditations in certain spots (don’t tell anyone!). They are another Egyptian treasure. All you have to do is show up and have a fantastic time.

5. The exchange rate now is almost unbelievable ($15 US dollars to 1 Egyptian pound. In previous years it’s been $3 to 1). This will make the incredible shopping even more incredible. Look at that fabulous rug that Melissa and Chris got on one of our last trips, it’s so beautiful!

6. This is a spiritual experience unlike any other. If you feel a pull toward Egypt, that’s probably because you have had a past life there. The energy in Egypt is amazing and experiencing these places is phenomenal. I had an email recently from someone who was on one of our recent trips. She said the ceremony inside the Great Pyramid (we have 2 hours of private time just for our group inside the Great Pyramid) completely changed her life. And from everything that’s happened to her in the past few years (all of it amazing and incredible), it obviously has! That’s what the Egypt trip does.

7. Being with other like-minded seekers adds such a wonderful level to the trip. Doing ceremony and meditations, talking about who built the Pyramids and why, really connecting. It’s a total experience and so wonderful to share with other like-minded people.

8. Don’t worry if you don’t have someone to travel with. Our groups usually fall in love with each other within 48 hours and make friendships that last a lifetime.

9. The trip is perfect. Can you believe it, this is my 22nd trip to Egypt! And I’ve been doing this particular trip since 1995! I have to say, after 17 years of leading groups to Egypt (and over 30 years of going there myself), plus all the tweaking and adjustments I’ve made over the years, this trip is perfect.

10. We have lots of fun! Not only is this a life-changing spiritual journey, it’s also lots of fun! Seeing all these amazing sites, cruising down the Nile, eating great food, shopping, talking, laughing — it’s the trip of a lifetime. We even have a night on the cruise ship where we dress up like Egyptians.

We go to all the must see places:

  • The Great Pyramid (including 2 hours of private time just for our group for ceremony)
  • The Sphinx
  • Karnak
  • Luxor
  • Abu Simbel
  • Cairo Museum (to see the complete King Tut exhibit and all the other treasures)
  • The new National Museum of Egyptian Culture (to see some of the most famous mummies in the world!)

And we go to places that the average tourist doesn’t go to:

  • Tomb of King Tut
  • Tomb of Nefertari
  • Tomb of Ramses VI
  • Tomb of Seti I
  • Isis Temple at Philae
  • Hathor Temple at Dendera
  • Horus Temple at Edfu
  • Kom Ombo (dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and Horus)
  • The Temple of Abydos

One of the first things you might be thinking is – “Is Egypt safe?” I was just there in February and (as usual) it was wonderful, incredible, and safe. Everyone in the group commented that they felt completely safe. As I said, this will be my 22nd trip to Egypt (my first was in 1983). The Egyptian people are some of the warmest, friendliest people you will ever meet, and they love Americans.

“The Egypt trip was awesome and amazing! Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable and so much fun. I felt completely safe, the Egyptian people are so wonderful. I loved our group, we all loved each other right away, just like Debra said we would. I manifested the trip using Debra’s “Bringing In Egypt” meditation – not only did I end up with enough money to come on the trip, a few weeks before I left my mother gifted me some additional spending money and my boss gave me a bonus that was completely unexpected!” Cyndee Wickstrom

Come with me on this trip of a lifetime – I’d love to have you!

Scientific Studies Say Being Happy & Positive Is More Important Than Diet & Exercise For A Longer, Happier Life

You know how everybody seems to be fixated on diet and exercise as the only thing they talk about for living a longer and happier life?

What if I told you that many scientific studies show that being happy and having a positive attitude have been proven to be much more important than any of these:

  • Cholesterol
  • Weight
  • Smoking
  • Blood Pressure
  • Exercise

Would that surprise you? Watch my video to find out what’s The Most Important Thing You Can Do for living longer.

Being optimistic, being happy and staying positive can be really difficult if you’re actually feeling upset, anxious and unhappy. 

If you need to turn that around, please call us. We will clear the blocks and gunk that are creating the problems (they’re probably different than you think!), and move you back into connection and back into the happiness and peace that are your birthright.

Call us now – Your life depends on it!

Would you like to learn about a way to give yourself a happier, healthier life? Then join us for our new “Compassion Cultivation Training” 8-week online class – starting September 14, 2021.

Compassion is perhaps the most powerful and effective tool you can use to care for yourself and improve your relationships. Compassion Training builds mental habits that, over time, are demonstrated to open the heart and promote personal well-being, resilience, and meaningful connections, even in challenging circumstances.

Existing research shows that mindfulness and compassion training can meaningfully reduce the symptoms of stress and burnout and improve health outcomes.

why compassion

We all face difficult situations, challenging relationships, and internal thoughts and beliefs that prevent us from experiencing the best life has to offer. When we become more aware, open, and curious about the world and people around us, we learn to use our natural compassion in practical ways to navigate life’s toughest personal challenges and begin to move through life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and ease.

Practicing compassion can alleviate our worries and fears so we can become powerful forces for good – in our relationships, families, workplaces, and communities.

This Will be Powerful for You (4 Amazing Questions)

I was noodling around in my computer earlier this week and found a questionnaire I had completed back in 2012. Wow – that seems so far away!

I had gone to a workshop in California that was a business workshop, not a spiritual workshop (oh the days when we could just jump on a plane and easily go to California and sit in a hotel conference room with a thousand other people and think nothing of it). I answered these 4 Questions that turned out to be highly spiritual, incredibly insightful, and tremendously helpful.

I was amazed to discover that everything I said I wanted in my answers had actually happened!

I think if you take 10 minutes to answer these questions, it will be tremendously profound for you.

1. What’s frustrating you the most right now?
Isn’t this a great question? It really gets to the heart of what’s eating you. I know for so many people who come to us, they feel like they’re at the end of their rope, some life situation is driving them crazy, or worse, they feel they are not living their best life or their relationship isn’t giving them all that they want. That’s got to be one of the most frustrating things in the world, to have this feeling that you are capable of living a happy, joyful, wonderful life, but you just don’t have the tools to do it. That’s exactly how I felt before I first came to Sedona.

2. What do you want to have happen this year?
Wow, doesn’t that just zero in on it? I love this question. It makes it so immediate. So what do you want to have happen this year? Wouldn’t it be great to have something really amazing and incredible happen? What would that be for you? You’ve still got 4 months left this year to make it happen, a lot can happen in 4 months.

3. What have you tried in the past that’s worked and what have you tried in the past that hasn’t worked?
This one really hits close to home for me because before I came to Sedona for the first time 21 years ago I had read every book, done so many group retreats, done so many workshops, done therapy, and nothing ever really seemed to help. It wasn’t until I was doing one-on-one private sessions that were focused completely on me with the Masters here in Sedona that I really got to the heart of what I needed.

4. What would it take for you to double your happiness during the next year?
I love this one so much because it takes out the complaining aspect of everything that’s wrong and puts it right into your lap. What would double your happiness during this next year? It’s especially fun to answer this question from the standpoint of really knowing that it can happen!

So what are the answers to these questions for you?

And of course, I loved these questions because they pointed out to me once again why a Sedona Soul Adventures retreat is so important. Because literally, we can help identify the source and blocks that are causing the frustrations and help move you into the space of becoming that person who is living a happy, joyful, abundant purpose-driven life. And the best part is – it works!

The Biggest Issue Most of Us Face

This is one of the most important videos I’ve every made.

Because this issue, the issue of thinking there is something wrong with you (even if you think it just a little bit) is at the core of any of the problems you might be having. I see this over and over again with all the people we work with.

I hope this helps…

From my experience, this issue is at the heart of everything that is going on with all of us. And if you need help with this, we’re here for you.

Give us a call and we’ll connect with you. Or both of you, for a couple — and believe me, the core issue at the heart of most relationship problems is that both of you are playing out your “I’m not good enough” issues with each other (even if you’re not able to see that yourself).

We’ll find what’s causing the problem and we won’t sugarcoat it – we’ll blast through it with you.

We’ll bring you into the self-love and self-acceptance that will change every part of your life.

Join us for our new “Compassion Cultivation Training” 8-week online class Starting September 14, 2021

Would you like to learn about a way to give yourself a happier, healthier life? Then join us for our new “Compassion Cultivation Training” 8-week online class – starting September 14, 2021.

Compassion is perhaps the most powerful and effective tool you can use to care for yourself and improve your relationships. Compassion Training builds mental habits that, over time, are demonstrated to open the heart and promote personal well-being, resilience, and meaningful connections, even in challenging circumstances.

Existing research shows that mindfulness and compassion training can meaningfully reduce the symptoms of stress and burnout and improve health outcomes.

why compassion

We all face difficult situations, challenging relationships, and internal thoughts and beliefs that prevent us from experiencing the best life has to offer. When we become more aware, open, and curious about the world and people around us, we learn to use our natural compassion in practical ways to navigate life’s toughest personal challenges and begin to move through life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and ease.

Practicing compassion can alleviate our worries and fears so we can become powerful forces for good – in our relationships, families, workplaces, and communities.

The #1 Way to Have Peace in Your Life

For most people, having peace in their lives seems like an impossible dream. Most people are stressed out and burned out, especially after this crazy year. Ironically, even though they’re doing too much, they don’t feel like they’re accomplishing anything.

Most people are worried about something that gnaws at them all the time. What is that for you? Do you worry about your job, your kids, your health, your spouse, your relationship, your money situation? Do you worry about the pandemic? Do you worry about other people liking you or loving you? Do you worry about your future? Do you worry about how your life is going to end up?

What’s your general state of mind during a typical day? Are you happy and excited? Or are you upset and frustrated? How do you react to things when something happens? Do you take it in stride or go into worry and upset?

Most people live in a general state of worry, upset or (even worse) hopelessness. It’s not hard to understand why that happens with everything that is going on in the world and in our day to day lives.

But the interesting thing is, it’s not all that stuff on the outside that is causing your sense of peace or lack of it. It’s how you’re reacting to all the stuff that’s happening…

And how you’re reacting to it is based on how you’re thinking and feeling about it…

And the way you’re thinking and feeling about it is probably rooted in something that happened to you a long time ago, in your formative years.

We had a woman who came for a Soul Adventure retreat awhile ago who first contacted us saying that she wanted to come to heal her pain around her marriage ending. Her husband had left her and she was (of course) brokenhearted.

When she spoke with her Angel Guide, he knew this had deep roots. He designed her Soul Adventure in such a way to bring those out. During her time here, she discovered things around her relationship with her mother that had left her feeling unloved and unworthy of love. She saw how she had (unconsciously) created an unhappy relationship to bring this up for healing.

Once she had that awareness, everything shifted. She did forgiveness work around her relationship with her mother and she said she felt the energy of that situation completely heal. The next sessions brought her into a sense of loving herself on all the levels — physically (loving her body), mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

At the end of her retreat she said, “I had no idea all of this was impacting every area of my life in all of these ways. I feel like a huge weight has come off my shoulders. I feel light and free for the first time in my life”.

Last year we had a couple who first contacted us saying that there were no problems in their relationship, they simply wanted to become closer on a spiritual level. But when their Angel Guide spoke with each of them separately, she felt some undercurrents of resentment and fear.

With a Couples Retreat, we always design the retreat to include sessions for the couple together, but also individual sessions for each person to heal issues that the individual might be bringing to the relationship and that’s how their retreat was designed.

During the first session, the cracks in their relationship came out and in their individual sessions, they both got real eye openers. The wife’s father left her mother when she was a young child and the messages she got was “men leave” and “I must have done something wrong that daddy left.” Her father had been very emotionally abusive and she realized that she sometimes felt “bullied” by her husband. Not in a harsh and abusive way, but in subtle ways that were controlling.

She was amazed when she discovered another link: her husband is very attractive and her father was very attractive. Even though they have been married for over 20 years and he has always been faithful, she realized that she had always been afraid of losing him and put up with the subtle bullying because she was afraid that he would leave her like her father had.

In her subsequent sessions, this place of fear (that had been with her since childhood) was healed. She was completely blown away.

In his sessions, the husband disclosed for the first time that he had been bullied as a child. He saw how this was affecting not only his relationship, but every area of his life. In his individual sessions, the shame from this was healed and he said he felt all the anger just flowing out of his body and his heart.

Needless to say, they were both shocked to discover how this “bullying” issue (which they had never defined as an issue) had been impacting their relationship. And you can imagine how wonderful their final couples sessions were…

Both of them came together healed and more in love than ever. Her fear was gone, his shame and anger were gone, and they had a new and deep appreciation for each other that hadn’t been there for a long time. Plus, they received tools that they took home to help them continue to communicate and connect more deeply.

As both of these stories illustrate, if you want to have peace in your life, you have to get at the things that are causing you to not have peace. You might know what those issues are, you might not. Most often, people who come to us to do a retreat discover that the thing that is causing their pain, their anxiety and all their problems is actually something different from what they thought it was.

So here is my bold statement – The #1 way that I know to have peace in your life or your relationship is to do a Sedona Soul Adventures retreat. We will find the blocks and move them out. We’ll move you back into a sense of connection and peace that you didn’t think was possible.

Contact us to speak to an Angel Guide about doing a retreat. It’s amazing how many people say that after one phone call with their Angel Guide they already feel better. Your Angel Guide will speak with you (or both of you if it’s a couples retreat) on a deep level. Then they’ll custom design a retreat that will bring you into the life or relationship you’re craving.

There’s no cost or obligation and you can do the retreat here in Sedona or At Home. We are so happy that our At Home retreats are just as powerful as those in Sedona.

Click here and one of our Angel Guides will call you. Or if you’d prefer, call us (928) 204-5988.

Rose says “before my Soul Adventure I was a mess” after my Soul Adventure, I feel “peace…and I’m so happy I did it”

You are so welcome, Rose! I’m so happy you went from being a mess to finding peace! That’s what this is all about!!

If you’d like to finally find some peace, please call us. Speak with an Angel Guide and they’ll start the process of figuring out the blocks that are holding you back from the peace you crave in your life and your relationship. There’s no cost or obligation to speak with them and it might be the first step towards turning everything around! And remember, you can do your retreat either in Sedona or from the comfort of your own home.

Can you believe it? We just announced the Egypt trip last week and only 5 spots are left!
I’m so excited about the energy for this trip!

The trip is just so extraordinary. It’s such a beautiful combination of all the places you absolutely have to go to, combined with the spiritual aspects of connecting with Egypt’s powerful energy.

GEM-Museum

I am so incredibly excited that the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is finally opening in October, just in time for our trip!

We’ve been watching it being built over the past 10 years and it is absolutely massive! It will house all the treasures of King Tut, the huge Solar Boat, and hundreds and hundreds of statues, sarcophogi (decorated caskets), obelisks, stelas, sculpture, jewelry and other treasures that the public has never seen before.

We go to all the must-see places:

Camel.pyramid
  • The Great Pyramid (where we’ll have 2 hours of private time for ceremony just for our group)
  • The Sphinx
  • Karnak
  • Luxor
  • Abu Simbel

But we’ll also be going to places the average tourist doesn’t always see:

  • Isis Temple at Philae
  • Temple of Abydos
  • Hathor Temple at Dendera
  • Horus Temple at Edfu
  • The Osirion

And this year we have special tickets to see:

King Tut Mask
  • The Tomb of King Tut in the Valley of the Kings
  • The Tomb of Seti I in the Valley of the Kings
  • The Tomb of Queen Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens!

To see the actual tomb and the mummy of King Tutankamun is so amazing. We will also see the treasures of his tomb in the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The Tomb of King Seti I is absolutely spectacular and Queen Nefertari’s tomb (she was the favorite wife of Ramses II) has been called “The Sistine Chapel of Egypt.” Very few people are allowed to see these tombs, so this is a very special part of our trip this year.

Plus, we’ll be doing ceremonies and meditations, and discussing the alternative theories of who built the Pyramids, who built the Sphinx (and when) and why are there carvings of a helicopter, a tank and a submarine in the walls of the Temple of Abydos?

Ceremony-Pyramid-w_-Mike-1024x768

Having two hours of private time just for our group inside the Great Pyramid for meditation and ceremonies is beyond belief!

Plus, we just have fun. Here we are dressing up like Egyptians for Galabaya Night.

I love this photo, it so demonstrates what happens on this trip – having breakfast at the fabulous 5 star Mena House right next to the Pyramids, three people who didn’t know each other before this trip connecting and having an amazing time, about to start another incredible day of exploration, wonder and awe.

And to go on a journey like this with other like-minded travelers – it’s just the icing on the cake. Don’t be concerned if you don’t have a companion to travel with – our groups are typically in love with each other within 48 hours, making friends that last a lifetime.
