Free Channelling with Quan Yin Masterclass

Our Masterclasses have been so amazing, but I have to say I am totally honored to be announcing our next one.

Laura Lee Lizak is an internationally renowned channel – she channels Quan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. We are so proud to have her as one of our amazing Practitioners and I’m so happy that she has agreed to do a channeling of Quan Yin this Saturday as one of our Masterclasses. She is doing this at no charge, and that is just unheard of. I am so grateful to her and to Quan Yin.

As Laura says, Quan Yin has been “igniting through her” since 1992 in her full personality, voice, mudra, and movement, and is often seen in Laura’s body. 

Quan Yin creates enlightened support structures for personal and mass enlightenment experiences, and powerfully ignites enlightenment in all beings. Many thousands of people around the world have been ignited in enlightenment by Quan Yin through Laura’s body. 

Quan Yin asked Laura to give us this message about the Masterclass:

During this Masterclass, Quan Yin will create a magnificently powerful experience of Enlightened Support for all beings. This ignites tremendous support in the body and experience of each and every person, and allows trauma and disease to release. We will connect in our Source energies, transform each other, and accelerate this powerful force of creation into each and every experience on this Earth. 

This transformational group connection powerfully creates transformation and enlightened support for the Earth, all beings, and all experiences. We will have a lot of fun, and all this fun is going to transform this work.”

Needless to say, I can’t wait!

Don’t miss my  interview with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, author of “My Stroke of Insight” – join me each week for Meeting the Masters and watch the compilation video

Sometimes the very worst thing that could ever happen to us turns out to be our biggest blessing. I had the most uplifting conversation with a brain scientist who witnessed her own massive stroke.

You may have seen her amazing Ted Talk. Her name is Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and her talk is the one that put Ted Talks on the map. Her talk was the first ever Ted Talk that went viral and it remains one of the five most watched Ted Talks of all time.

In our interview for the “Meeting the Masters” series, she recalls the horror and the bliss of the experience of her stroke. You’ll hear why she calls her book, “My Stroke of Insight” and the spiritual journey that ensued when all her memories and knowledge were wiped away.

From the pandemic to the civil unrest rocking our world, Dr. Jill’s advice on how to thrive through challenging circumstances could not be more timely.

This is definitely an interview to watch and to share with anyone needing to be uplifted. Her love for life, her gentle laugh and her smile are contagious.

It’s available right now on our site.

And this coming Thursday, we have Janet Attwood, author of “The Passion Test.” Janet Attwood has been one of my heroes for a very long time, and I admire her so much. So you can imagine how much fun it was to interview her for the Meeting the Masters Series. 

Janet talks about how to figure out your passions and why that is essential to all of your success. 

But my favorite part was when she shared her raw and real story of how she discovered her true passion and how you can too.

Here’s a short compilation video that will give you a taste of the Series.

We are now open for in-Sedona Retreats and Virtual Retreats

I’m so excited that we are now open for in-Sedona Retreats!

One of the things that made this easier for us is because we have never done groups, we have always done private retreats, just with individuals and couples. A huge part of that is because we know, after almost 20 years of doing this work, that true transformation happens when we are addressing your specific needs and your specific issues. What brought you to this place is different from what brought someone else to where they are. By discovering the blocks and gunk that are causing you problems or holding you back, we’re able to dig deep, move them out and bring you back into connection.

We are following all CDC Guidelines and Orders of the Governor of Arizona and we are participating members of the Sedona Chamber of Commerce “Sedona.Safe.Clean.Ready” program. 

Sedona is opening back up (safely) and we’ve already had a number of transformations now that we’re back!

If you’d rather do your retreat from the comfort of your own home, we are so excited that our Virtual Retreats are providing the same “punch” as our retreats here in Sedona. It’s all because our Practitioners are truly Masters at moving and conducting this energy – so it doesn’t matter whether you’re in their healing space or your living room. The same incredible transformations are happening.

We are now offering our “One Day Soul Experience” both in-Sedona and Virtually (for individuals and couples)

I’m so excited that our announcement last week of our new “One Day Soul Experience” has had an overwhelming response! I just announced them last Saturday and we’ve already completed 4 this week, including a couple who have attended each of our Masterclasses… isn’t that amazing? 

As I told you last week, over the years, we’ve had so many people ask us to do a shorter version or a less expensive version of a Soul Adventure. And I’ve always been so adamant to say to people that if you want a real transformation, you need to do a complete Soul Adventure – and that’s a minimum of 3 full days or 4 days for a couple. Because we absolutely know that works.

Part of that is because we have our Proven Process that I developed way back in 2002 and it requires 3 days for individuals and 4 days for couples. And following that Process, it pretty much works every single time – we’ve had over 9,000 amazing souls do our retreats to-date with almost unbelievable results.

But with all the changes that are happening all over the world, I’ve seen very clearly – in fact, I’ve listened to my own intuition – and gotten the information that we are to open this up to even more people.

So for the very first time in 18 years, we are offering what we are calling our One Day Soul Experience.

This one day experience is custom-designed to be an awakening, a letting go, or a clearing, to help you open into a new way of living and being.

Our Angel Guides will connect with you and listen to what you have going on and then custom-design the perfect One Day Soul Experience for exactly what you need.

They will also share with you how this ties into our world-class Sedona Soul Adventure if you choose to do that in the future.

You can enjoy your One Day Soul Experience right here in Sedona as part of a well-deserved break, or your experience can be Virtual, because we know we can deliver amazing results whether you’re in your living room or our healing space.

So I invite you to speak with one of our Angel Guides – I’m really excited about all the possibilities for you – call us at 877-204-3664 or click here and we’ll call you.

After their Couples Retreat, Mark and Nancy say it “changed our lives, worth every penny”

It is so interesting to me that pretty much everyone who contacts us really wants to do a Soul Adventure, and really the usual thing that makes them decide against it is the cost. But then so many of our testimonials say, “It was worth every penny.”

And really, what is it worth to have your peace of mind?

What is it worth to have your marriage saved? (Not to mention the financial ruination that happens during a divorce? I was a divorce attorney for 20 years, I know about that first-hand.)

What is it worth to find your life purpose and start living it?

Mark and Nancy (not their real names) came to us last week with some really serious issues. They love each other, but they were having all kinds of problems. I was so happy when their soul adventure ended this week and they experienced the kind of transformation we’re so famous for. We moved out the blocks that were creating the problems, brought them both into connection with the highest part of themselves and brought them back into connection as a couple. How great is that?

If you want your life or relationship completely transformed, please give us a call.

i want my transformation

Call us today or Click here and we’ll call you. One of our Angel Guides will connect with you (or both of you for a Couples Retreat) and we’ll go deep, to discover what’s holding you back from having the life or relationship of your dreams. 

Remember there’s no cost or obligation and we’re even open on Sunday, because we’re here for you!

Simple Heart Technique Gives You 7 Benefits We Can All Use Right Now

I have so much exciting news to share with you this week, including our new “1 Day Soul Experience” and my interview with the incredible Dr. Christiane Northrup, but I want to start with our next Masterclass this Saturday, because it will be so incredibly powerful. 

If I told you there is a way to simply and easily:

  • feel more peace and joy
  • reduce the stress of your daily life
  • meet challenges with greater ease
  • access your heart’s intelligence
  • access higher levels of consciousness
  • access higher dimensions
  • become more of who you really are

Would you be interested? 

And it’s free! I think I need to double the price!

I started our Masterclasses, calling them “Reinventing Yourself in This New Age,” because I truly believe we’re all being called on right now to become the best version of ourselves and to figure out what that’s going to take. How’s it going for you? Is that happening? 

You have an opportunity to really amp that up in our next Masterclass:

“Take Charge of Your Inner World Through Heart Coherence”

What is Heart Coherence? The HeartMath Institute defines it as “the state when the heart, mind and emotions are in energetic alignment and cooperation.” 

When your heart is in coherence, all those things I listed above happen – more peace and joy, less stress, and everything in your life just flows as it should.

Using this process is one of the easiest ways to reinvent yourself!

The heart and brain are in constant communication and the heart is doing most of the talking. In this Masterclass, you will learn how to help your heart speak more clearly, more efficiently and more effectively. And it’s easier than you might think.

The HeartMath Institute has proven through scientific studies that the higher quality emotions that people have always associated with the heart, such as appreciation and compassion, really do affect the quality of the signals that are sent to our brain.

At the same time, your heart is the access point to your larger self that can bring in the higher intelligence of other dimensions and higher consciousness.

You’ll learn simple techniques to bring your heart into coherence and to directly experience your heart’s intelligence. You’ll learn practical ways to connect with your heart and connect yourself on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. 

With these tools, you’ll be able to find the deeper place within where you can remain centered, present and focused no matter what is happening in the outer world. Very important in these crazy times we’re living in.

Can you imagine what your life is like when you’re operating with your heart in coherence?

Our Master Practitioner this week is Jenine Gobbi, who is a certified  Mentor of the HeartMath Institute, and we are so fortunate that she brings these deep skills to our Sedona Soul Adventures clients and to you through this Masterclass.

Don’t miss my interview with Dr. Christiane Northrup – join me each week for Meeting the Masters and watch the compilation video

It was so interesting when I interviewed Christiane Northrup. I’ve interviewed so many people over the years, but when she came onto the Zoom call, my heart just opened up in this gigantic way, it was so amazing! I even got a little verklempt (overcome with emotion). Her breakthrough book, “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom,” had a big impact on my life when it first came out and now she has just brought out the new and updated version of this amazing book.

She shared her deeply personal journey to spirituality and how it has shaped everything she does. 

She also has a unique perspective on the pandemic and compares it to a key moment in labor and her experience delivering babies.

This interview is fascinating and packed full of useful information, not just for women, but for everyone. 

It’s available right now on our site.

She is a brain scientist who had a stroke which completely changed her life. She has one of the most-watched Ted Talks of all time (it’s the very first Ted Talk that ever went viral!). Her zest for life is absolutely captivating.

Jill shares how this time is a wake-up call for us all and how to use this in our lives, specifically how we can shift fear around in 90 seconds. It will be available Thursday.

Phenomenal

Do you read our reviews on Trustpilot? These are third-party verified reviews and this one was just posted a few days ago by Susan (not her real name), who just finished her Virtual Retreat. I love this so much.

Look at everything she says happened for her during her retreat. She…

  • Let go of her past
  • Learned how to meditate
  • Learned how to stop taking care of everybody else instead of herself
  • Learned how to shift her brain
  • Filled her heart with the Divine
  • Now loves herself and is the #1 person in her own life
  • Filled her heart and soul with self love

Wow! Is that just incredible? It’s almost unbelievable, isn’t it? And the best part is, this is what happens with a Soul Adventure, including a Virtual Soul Adventure like this one was.

Would you like to have even just one or two of those things happen for you? That’s enough to transform your life!

Because that’s what happens when you do a Sedona Soul Adventure – we move out the gunk and blocks that are holding you back and weighing you down, and move you back into connection. 

If you’d like that kind of transformation, give us a call.

Karmic Clearing for Your Highest Potential Masterclass

We all have what I call blocks and gunk that are holding us back:

  • Fears
  • Patterns that come from the conscious and subconscious
  • Limiting Beliefs

Some of them we know about. The ones in the subconscious, we don’t even truly know they are there. They just keep showing up in our outside world, as a reflection.

Do you ever wonder where they come from? I think they come from a number of sources and the good news is, they can be cleared.

Even better, they can be replaced with your highest potential for:

  • Self-love
  • Faith
  • Trust
  • Joy 
  • Health

And our next powerful Masterclass will focus on identifying subconscious patterns, fears and blocks. 

When these blocks are removed, you are more available to access your infinite potential and create the new life that is waiting for you.

Karmic Clearing clears on all the levels:

  • Spiritually
  • Mentally
  • Emotionally
  • Physically

This work is effective over distance since the effect takes place in the subconscious and spiritual realms, then manifests in the physical. This literally alters your soul’s path by removing blocked energies and raising your vibration.

Sound good?

Our Master Practitioner, Christine Ryan, has been part of Sedona Soul Adventures from the very beginning. She is a Life Coach and Certified Spiritual Response Therapy Practitioner. I’ve done these sessions myself, personally with Christine, and they are powerful!

Christine is going to do a clearing for the entire group and she’ll also call on a volunteer for a personal clearing – could that be you?

Did you see my NEW interview with Christy Whitman? – Join me each week for Meeting the Masters and watch the compilation video

As I said last week, the whole lockdown thing got me really going creatively. We added Virtual Sedona Soul Adventures Retreats and the weekly free Masterclass, and it gave me the time to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time – our new interview Series, Meeting the Masters.

Every week I’m interviewing a Master – someone I really admire, I’ve read their books, I’ve listened to their teachings and I just really respect them for the incredible work they do. And I’m asking them fun questions like, “How did you get on your spiritual path?” and the big one – “What do you think the pandemic is here to teach us?” 

We’re bringing out a new series each week. Our first was with Dr. John Gray (“Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus”) and it was really incredible. In fact, I received this email from a woman who had contacted us about doing a Couples Retreat, but her husband didn’t want to. The next day she sent me this:

Hi Debra,
Happy Friday!
I wanted to thank you for putting together the “Meeting the Masters” series. I watched your interview with John Gray yesterday – The interview struck so many cords that I convinced my husband to watch it with me again last night. My husband has been resistant to seeking outside assistance with our relationship… but after spending an hour with Dr. John Gray, he turned to me and said “I’ll watch anything from that guy!” You can only imagine my relief and excitement over this “break-through” announcement. He felt that John was easy to understand and put many things into perspective for both of us.   
Thank you so very much for making this possible.
Kindest regards,

We emailed back and forth, and I’m so happy for her that her husband is open to using some outside sources for helping their marriage. Isn’t it amazing what just one thing can do?

And if you missed it yesterday, be sure to check out my interview with Celebrity Success Coach, Christy Whitman. Christy is amazing – she’s been on the Today Show and she’s had three best selling books, “The Art of Having It All,” “Quantum Success” and the title that is my personal favorite – “Taming Your Alpha Bitch.”  

As part of our Meeting the Masters series, I got to have an amazing conversation with Christy about how to become an energy master and how to attract more of what you really want into your life. 

But the most fascinating part was that Christy channeled “The Council.” I was able to get advice for us all from this group of ascended beings who speak through her. If you’ve never witnessed a channeling before, then you’ve got to check this out. If you’re sensitive to energy, you might actually feel something when she shifts into the altered state.

The information is timely and it’s all material that will help you be more prepared for life and your next Sedona Soul Adventure.

It’s available right now on our site.

Plus, your body knows how to heal if you just get out of the way. That’s the empowering message she has for all of us.

Here’s a short compilation video that will give you a taste of the Series.

As I reported last week, we are now open for in-Sedona Retreats!

One of the blessings for us is that we have always done private retreats, just with individuals and couples, never in groups. Because we know, after almost 20 years of doing this work, that true transformation happens when we are addressing your particular needs and your particular issues. What brought you to this place is different from what brought someone else to where they are. By discovering the blocks and gunk that are causing you problems or holding you back, we’re able to dig deep, move them out and bring you back into connection.

Our New Jersey client did a Virtual Retreat and says, “I feel like a changed man. An emotional weight has been lifted from my soul.” 

Our client Anthony (not his real name) lives in New Jersey and really wanted to do a Soul Adventure here in Sedona, but with the pandemic, that just wasn’t possible a few weeks ago. Still, he had so much going on his life, he knew he needed help right now. But he was also skeptical and very much a guy from New Jersey (I say this with total affection). When I first met him on Zoom, we talked and he said to me, “I know you say this stuff is life changing, but really, how much can happen in 3 days?”

I told him about all the incredible transformations I’ve witnessed over 18 years of doing this work and asked him to please just be open for a miracle to happen. He said he would.

After I got off Zoom with him, I said a little extra prayer for him. He was so skeptical and so “I don’t believe it can happen” that I was concerned that energy would have a negative impact on his Soul Adventure.

But, as usual, that’s not at all what happened. He had a complete and utter transformation. So much so, that he went onto Trustpilot and wrote these beautiful words:

Isn’t that so fantastic that a skeptical guy from Jersey can have his life changed around in 3 days? It’s so incredible.

Would you like to have an amazing experience?

Would you like to be a changed person?

Would you like to have an emotional weight lifted from your soul?

Because that’s what happens when you do a Sedona Soul Adventure – we move out the gunk and blocks that are holding you back and weighing you down.

The peace that comes from lifting that off your soul is priceless.

If you’d like that kind of transformation, give us a call.

i want my transformation

One of our Angel Guides will connect with you (or both of you for a Couples Retreat) and we’ll go deep, to discover what’s holding you back from having the life or relationship of your dreams. 

Remember there’s no cost or obligation and we’re even open on Sunday, because we’re here for you!

Wishing you a week filled with peace and tranquility!

We’re Open! And How to Open to Your Intuition Masterclass

I believe that everyone has intuitive abilities. The only difference is that some of us have it more developed than others.

And even if you don’t think of yourself as very intuitive, let me ask you: Aren’t there times when you meet someone and you think, “Wow, this person is great!” or the opposite, “This person doesn’t feel right” and then it turns out to be true? 

That’s your intuition talking.

Haven’t you had a hunch that you shouldn’t do something, but you went ahead and did it and then all hell broke loose? 

That’s your intuition talking.

I believe all of us have the ability to connect with the Highest part of ourselves and tune into our intuitive abilities. It just takes a willingness, a belief that it’s possible and trust that the information you’re getting is coming from your Highest Self. 

It’s simple (but not necessarily easy), so tune in to find out things that you can do to open to your intuition.

And if you already consider yourself to be intuitive, I think you’ll find this tremendously beneficial. I know that for myself, my intuition just keeps growing more and more. It’s something that’s ever expanding!

Our Master Practitioner, Tina Provenzano, opened up to her Intuition many years ago and she is absolutely incredible. What I also love about her is that she is very grounded and practical, and very much in the world. She was a high octane business person for many years and now is such a treasure with our Sedona Soul Adventures clients. So many people have received so much wisdom and so much peace of mind from working with her.

So spend some time with us next Saturday and let your intuition open even further.

Did you see my NEW interview with John Gray (“Men are from Mars”)? It was so much fun – join me each week for Meeting the Masters

This whole Lock Down thing made me really creative! We went virtual with our retreats, we added the weekly free Masterclass, and now we’ve added something I’ve been wanting to do for years – our Meeting the Masters Series. 

Every week I’m interviewing a Master – someone I really admire, I’ve read their books, I’ve listened to their teachings and I just really respect them for the incredible work they do. And I’m asking them fun questions like, “How did you get on your spiritual path?” and the big one – “What do you think the pandemic is here to teach us?” 

In this series, you’ll experience the wisdom of Dr. John Gray, Christiane Northrup M.D., Darryl Anka (the Channel for Bashar), Christy Whitman, Janet Attwood, Marci Shimoff, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, and many others.

Here’s a short compilation video that will give you a taste of the Series.

My interview with John Gray was so much fun! And he’s just so great! He wrote one of the biggest selling books of all time, “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus.” I know you’ll love that interview, he even talks about why you can’t always trust your feelings during these times.

We are now open for in-Sedona Retreats and Virtual Retreats

yana singing bowl

We are so excited and happy to be back open! Our Governor gave permission for spas and massages as of May 13 and we re-opened on May 15!  

One of the blessings for us is that we have always done private retreats, just with individuals and couples, never in groups. Because we know, after almost 20 years of doing this work, that true transformation happens when we are addressing your particular needs and your particular issues. What brought you to this place is different from what brought someone else to where they are. By discovering the blocks and gunk that are causing you problems or holding you back, we’re able to dig deep, move them out and bring you back into connection.

We are following all CDC Guidelines and Orders of the Governor of Arizona, and we are participating members of the Sedona Chamber of Commerce “Sedona.Safe.Clean.Ready” program. 

Sedona is opening back up (safely) and we are ready!

If you’d rather do your retreat from the comfort of your own home, we are so excited that our Virtual Retreats are providing the same “punch” as our retreats here in Sedona. It’s all because our Practitioners are truly Masters at moving and conducting this energy – so it doesn’t matter whether you’re in their healing space or your living room. The same incredible transformations are happening.

Barbara says after my “truly transformative Soul Adventure, “I am more at peace, positive and loving myself than I have ever been”

Barbara, this is so beautiful and there are two things I absolutely love about her beautiful words – first, her Soul Adventure was over 3 months ago and she just wrote her review talking about how her retreat really prepared her for the crazy times we’re finding ourselves in. This is what I’m talking about all the time – This stuff works and it lasts! What a gift!

And look at what happened to her:

  • More peace
  • Feeling more positive
  • Feeling more connected
  • Really loving herself

Can you imagine feeling more peace and positivity, feeling more connected and loving yourself more than you ever have? And then to have the virus and the Lock Down hit and she still feels that way? How fabulous is that?

Because that’s what happens when you do a Sedona Soul Adventure – we move out the gunk and blocks that are holding you back (or causing problems in your relationship), bring you back into connection and give you the tools to handle anything!

If you’d like that kind of transformation, give us a call.

Heal Yourself with Self-Compassion with Our Free Masterclass

I’m so excited, our Masterclass yesterday was fabulous! We had hundreds of people joining us live and I’m super excited about our next one.

It will be taught by Komala Rohde, another of our amazing Master Practitioners and it will be about Self-Compassion. These times are so stressful and for many of us, we’re hardest on ourselves.

Self-Compassion brings warmth and understanding toward ourselves when we experience challenges, suffer failure or feel inadequate. Compassion arises from the awareness that suffering and imperfection is part of the shared human experience, something we all go through and experience. Then we can move beyond isolation and separation into a non-judgmental, receptive state of mind and a warm and open heart. Through practical exercises, we can practice and regain kindness in relating to ourselves and the world around us.

Doesn’t that sound great? Won’t it feel good to come into a warm and open heart?

Join us:

I’m continuing our Upliftment Meditations for the Planet – join me on Facebook every day at 7am Pacific

I have to say, I’m loving doing the meditations each morning and I love it that it’s connecting with so many people. I’d love to have you join us.

Please join me each morning on the Sedona Soul Adventures Facebook page at 7am Pacific (10am Eastern, 9am Central, 8am Mountain). If you sign up for Notifications, you’ll know every day when we start. I always come on a few minutes early so that people have a chance to find me and you’ll get to see our new Goldendoodle puppy, Beauregard.

I truly believe we can all make a difference by bringing our energies together in this way.

Wishing you a week filled with deep compassion for yourself and others,

Join Me for 3-Minute Meditations to Disarm Fear re Virus

You can’t turn on the television or listen to the radio without hearing about the coronavirus. And it feels like some of the things that some of the people are saying out there is just set up to have us all be filled with fear. Of course, we need to be vigilant and not be stupid, but as someone who believes I am creating my own reality, I’ve been thinking a lot about what can I do in this situation?

And as I’ve watched and listened to other people spin out of control in fear and anxiety, I realized that I’m not powerless, there is something I can do. I can harness the transformational power of Sedona, I can enlist the aid and assistance of  my incredible practitioners and staff, and you, our amazing family, and together we can do everything we can to affect healing and transformation, and move the planet out of fear and into a higher vibration.

Starting this Sunday, March 15th, I am inviting you to join me and our practitioners and staff in a daily High Vibration and Upliftment for the Planet Meditation/Prayer/Healing for 3 minutes at 7am – and continuing for the next 28 days. We will be doing this on Facebook Live.

peru-meditation-1024x768

I am inviting you to join us and take these 3 minutes each day to do something valuable for the planet. Each day will begin with prayer for healing for those affected, and then move into a meditation and high vibration to lift the energy of the planet out of fear and anxiety, and into a feeling of love, hope and connection.

I know that is the most powerful form we can use. The bringing together and focusing of all of our powerful energies.

Won’t it feel good to feel like you’re actually doing something positive about this, rather than just succumbing to the fear that is all around us?

I am specifically starting this on March 15 which is the Ides of March. In the Roman period, this was a day of celebration where people settled debts. This is also the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated after being warned by his astrologer to “beware the Ides of March.” Ever since then, this day has been considered as a portent of doom. So what better day to turn around the doom and start settling the debts that I believe we all have to the Universe, the debt to do our part for healing of the planet.

Here are all the particulars:

Each morning at 7am Pacific for 3 minutes, March 15-April 11

  • That’s 10am Eastern
  • 9am Central
  • 8am Mountain

To come onto Facebook Live:

1. Click here to go to the Sedona Soul Adventures Facebook page

2. Like the page (this is important, because when we go live, if you’ve liked the page you will see that we are live and if notifications are on you will receive a notification that we are live)

Set the alarm on your phone each day and join us. Are you willing to take 3 minutes each day to do what we can to help the planet?

Some additional information that can help calm your fears

I received this email from Peter Diamandis:

Over the past week, our amygdalas (the fear centers of our brain) have been in overdrive.

As Coronavirus (and anxiety) spread, I’m concerned by the level of pandemic fear circulating through our news and social media.

The goal of this blog is to give you a thoughtful alternative to fear… to contextualize what you are hearing…

Let’s talk about death rates… While this is no apples-to-apples comparison, how we react to death is primal. And when we hear about Coronavirus-induced deaths, we go on red alert. But allow me to contextualize the numbers for you.

(Disclaimer: The below compared populations are different (China vs. world), and infectious diseases do not maintain a consistent daily average. But the point still stands…)

On one of the worst days for Coronavirus in China (February 10, 2020), 108 people died. But on a given day, globally:

  • 26,283 people die of cancer;
  • 49,041 people die of cardiovascular diseases;
  • 4,383 people die of diabetes.

Meanwhile, suicide takes on average 2,191 lives…

Mosquitoes take the lives of over 2,740 people…

And HUMANS kill an average of 1,287 fellow people, every single day.

The Numbers… Let’s look at the data

COVID-19 has come out of left field and left us blindsided.

But people are largely fearful because we don’t understand it. 

So let’s look first at the numbers.

During the 2017-2018 flu season, CDC figures put U.S. influenza deaths at roughly 80,000. Meanwhile, global estimates indicated anywhere between 290,000 – 650,000 influenza-associated deaths from respiratory causes alone.

And in terms of deaths from influenza-induced lower respiratory tract infections, a 2019 study estimated 99,000 – 200,000 deaths for the 2017-2018 flu season.

The following year, CDC figures estimated 35.5 million Americans fell ill with influenza, resulting in 490,600 hospitalizations and 34,200 deaths.

And since this past October, the regular influenza has infected as many as 49 million and killed between 20,000 – 52,000 in the U.S. alone.

By comparison on a global scale, the Coronavirus outbreak has infected over 90,000 people as of early March, resulting in 5,043 deaths worldwide (today’s stat).

While the fatality rate of Coronavirus now appears to be slightly higher than that of typical influenza (estimates range from 1.4% to the WHO’s 3.4%), the toll of the common flu is staggeringly higher than that of COVID-19.

Concern—as with any infectious disease—is warranted, yes.

But knowing the numbers helps limit our fear of the unknown, and battle our amygdalas against irrationality.

These figures are not to suggest we should live without precaution. Regardless of how willing you are to sacrifice enjoyment for safety, it’s critical to understand expert concerns and how to mitigate them.

3 Important Reasons For Optimism (Dr. Paul Sax, Harvard University)

  1. We know the disease is mild in most people who get it. At least 80%, most likely more, won’t have an illness bad enough to warrant hospitalization. We’ll have a better idea once testing is more broadly applied, but it would not surprise me if the widely cited case fatality rate of 1-2% is eventually less than half that.
  2. Children seem particularly protected from severe coronavirus disease. Many of the sniffles and colds kids experience are due to existing milder coronavirus strains, possibly giving them partial immunity to this more serious new threat.
  3. There has been extraordinary global cooperation from doctors, scientists and public health officials. In most cases, this has included remarkable sharing of clinical data and research. It is wonderful to see the medical community responding in such a unified voice, all of us trying to solve this new problem.

I feel more hopeful reading those reasons and putting the numbers into perspective, especially about the flu. I hope this helps. As I said, we can’t ignore this, we can’t be stupid, but let’s not go into total fear.

Recipe for natural hand sanitizer

One of the things I have used for many years is a natural hand sanitizer. In
fact, I’ve been using this on all my Sacred Travel trips since 2004!

So if you’d like to use this alternative, here’s the recipe:

Fill a 3.2 oz. spray bottle with purified water, then add a 3-4 drops of grapefruit seed extract oil and 3-4 drops of high quality tea tree oil. Add drops of lavender oil until it smells really great. This is the best antibacterial spray you can use and you can easily find all these ingredients in the health food store.

What we’re doing at Sedona Soul Adventures

There have been no reported cases in the Sedona area. The cancellations that have happened around the country have been for large group events. Our retreats are completely private for individuals and couples, consisting of private sessions where you are working one on one with the individual practitioners. None of this is done in a group setting.

In fact, we just had someone who came this week who was scheduled for a large group workshop in California that was cancelled because of the virus, so he contacted us and he started his retreat on Thursday!

In addition, our office staff and each of our practitioners are following CDC Guidelines. We are urging people who are at risk to postpone their retreats.

We have modified our Cancellation Policy to provide that if the retreat needs to be postponed, it can be postponed for up to 24 months. And if the health concerns continue for a period of six months (travel bans, lockdown, or similar provisions continuing), we will issue a full refund. So people are booking their retreats with that peace of mind. As one person told us, “I’m more afraid of not changing my life than I am of the coronavirus.”

But I believe the most important thing we are doing is our High Vibration and Upliftment for the Planet Meditation/Prayer/Healing which starts today. I sincerely hope you will join us as we try to take this positive action – Click Here.

See Our New puppy!! Videos and a Song!

Debra Stangl & Beuaregard

We have a new puppy! Please meet our new little boy, Beauregard, our sweet little Goldendoodle puppy. 

We got back from Egypt on Monday at 3am and got him later that same day. 

Is that the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? It looks like something out of a Puppy Chow commercial.

richard and 3 dogs

This has all been so divinely orchestrated. Most of you know that I lost my sweet Golden Retriever, Daisy, just exactly one year ago. I have missed her so terribly, and just felt like if another little one was going to come into my life, that I would be open. When Richard and I first got together three years ago, we had three dogs and our sweet Katie Kat, and now we just have our sweet Labradoodle, Missy. Here’s Prancer, Missy and Daisy from three years ago.

Suddenly, a few weeks before we left for Egypt, we ran into Puma St. Angel. What’s so interesting is that I’ve known Puma for a number of years because she runs a retreat center outside of Sedona that does juicing and cleanses, etc. I’ve always felt a connection with her, especially because her given last name is Stangl, spelled exactly how mine is spelled, and for the past two years we’ve been trying to figure out how we’re related, because we must be with that unusual last name. 

Puma with Bodhi

I’ve known Puma and really like her and her husband, Morgan. We’re not hangout friends, but whenever we run into them (which is usually because we all like to sit at the bar at Picazzo’s Pizza) we always enjoy connecting with them.

So we ran into Puma and it was strange because it was at 4:30 in the afternoon, a strange time to be at the bar at Picazzo’s…

After we talked for a few minutes, she said, “I’m getting a puppy.” 

And we said, “Oh my God.”

And then she said, “He’s a Goldendoodle.”

And we said, “Oh my God.”

And then she said, “I think there’s another boy puppy available.”

And we said, “Oh my God.”

And then she showed us the puppy pictures and we said. “Oh my God.”

Bodhi Sattva

And then she said, “My friend Marla is bringing him on February 21st from Denver and she could bring both the dogs,” to which we replied, “We’ll be in Egypt.”

She then said, “He can stay with us until you get back,” to which we replied, “Oh my God!” 

That’s Puma’s little boy.

Now, those of you who have been following me for a long time know that I don’t make a move with regards to my four-leggeds without contacting our amazing pet psychic, Sharon Loy, so that we can check in with how everybody is feeling. Luckily, Sharon was gracious enough to do an emergency session, because there was no way we were going to get a new puppy without getting the okay from our sweet Labradoodle, Missy.

When we began the session, suddenly Sharon said, “Oh my goodness, Daisy is right here and she’s saying, ‘I’ve been orchestrating this for the past few months and I’ve been talking to Missy about it for the past few months.’”

When Daisy passed last year, she told us she wasn’t “finished” with us yet and she said she might come back as another puppy to be with us again. I was hoping that’s what was happening, but Daisy told us she’s doing “important work on the other side” (don’t you just love that?) and that she doesn’t want to leave. She told us though, “You will feel my soul through the eyes of this little puppy.” 

So that made it pretty easy to come to a decision – what are you going to do when your last dog is in Spirit telling you she’s just orchestrated your new dog coming in? You say yes!

Missy was already being prepared by Daisy for this and even though she had questions (“Will you still feed me first?” and “Can I lick his toys?”), she said yes and told us she will be very good at helping him to become a good dog.

So with everybody on board, we made all the arrangements and I now know everything there is to know about transporting a puppy on a plane. You can’t just buy a seat, there must be a person attached to the seat. If the puppies had been smaller, they might have fit in one bag that would fit under the seat, but they have to be able to easily move around so we needed two bags – that means two people. Luckily, Marla’s friend Stephanie decided to come. Thank you so much for all your help, Marla and Stephanie, we literally couldn’t have done this without you!

Morgan & Puppies

They picked up the puppies on February 21st and sent us photos. They then whisked the puppies from Denver to Sedona, where they stayed with Puma, Morgan and Beuregard’s brother, Bodhi Sattva (so we have two Bo’s!).I’m so very glad he got to have that extra time with his brother and now we’ll do play dates with each other. 

It’s so interesting to me, Daisy had her brother, Boulder, living up in Oak Creek Canyon and we always tried to get them together, at least every month to play together. Now Beau will have his brother to play with – I love it. This is the two brothers out with Morgan on a walk to Oak Creek (that’s Beauregard in the front). They sent us this picture when we were in Egypt and we just melted.

We picked our little bundle of joy up this past Monday and fell in love immediately. We were already smitten by the videos and photos, but to see him up close and hold him, smell that puppy breath, and get your first kiss is just too sweet. 

And Morgan and Puma did such a great job of starting his training, just in those 10 days – he’s almost housebroken! We’re crate training him and he’s sleeping through the night without going to the bathroom in the crate.

We’re so focused on all of his bodily functions that I actually came up with a little ditty that I sing to Beauregard and I thought you might enjoy it (my apologies to Verdi and sorry for the cold in my voice that I brought back from Egypt).

Bo & Missy

We are so happy with our new little one – Missy is a little jealous, but we’re loving her up, and we know she’ll step up and be a good big sister to her little brother, once we’re all adjusted.

So please send us your happy thoughts as we embark on this new endeavor. It’s so wonderful to have this whole new bunch of love that’s just automatically  generating! They are just pure love and it feels so good!

A New Addition in Egypt and Why You Should Come Next Year


Egypt group 2020.2Our Return to Egypt trip is coming to a close and it’s been another amazing journey. This has actually been one of the most amazing trips ever. The group was fabulous, the weather was wonderful, the energy has been amazing – I feel so incredibly blessed and so happy to have brought another group of people who have been flabbergasted and amazed by this trip.

And even though this was my 20th trip to Egypt (!) there were so many new additions that were so wonderful.

valley of kings egypt 2020.1The first one is that we are able to take photos almost everywhere we go. This is such an about face from what has happened in years past. It used to be that you absolutely could not take photos inside so many of  the tombs – especially in the Valley of the Kings and Queens where the colors and the images are just so absolutely spectacular. valley of kings egypt 2020.2They used to be so strict about it that back in 1983, when I was here for the first time, the friend I was with in the tomb of Ramses VI thought we were all alone, took a photo and almost lost his camera. The flash went off and the guards up top came rushing down and were about to take our camera. After lots of apologizing and paying some bakshish (tip money), they took the film and gave us back the camera. tomb of nefertari 2020.1Here’s some of the photos from the Valley of the Kings.

Last year they started to allow us to take photos in many of the places, but this season we were even able to take photos inside the Tomb of Queen Nefertari, which is widely considered to be the most beautiful tomb in all of Egypt. tomb of nefertari 2020.2

Look at these spectacular colors. This one of Nefertari as Maat is a scene that I have on papyrus in my home. So incredibly beautiful.

Nefertari was the favorite Queen of Ramses II, the most powerful Pharaoh that ever ruled. temple of nefertari 2020His reign spanned over 60 years and there are temples all over Egypt built by him. In addition to her fabulous tomb, he also built a fantastic temple to her next to his spectacular temple at Abu Simbel. I love this temple so much, doesn’t it look as if the gods are just walking out of the mountain?

One of my favorite carvings in the temple is this one that shows what looks like a modern day flip hairdo – isn’t that great?flip egypt 2020

seti 1 egypt 2020.1New this year: Also new this year, they have re-opened the tomb of Seti I, after many years of it being closed to the public. I had never seen this tomb before and it is absolutely spectacular. He was the father of Ramses II, so it’s obvious that no expense was spared for his final resting place.

seti i - debra stangl - richard - egypt 2020The other thing that is so interesting when you see the huge and amazing tombs of these powerful Pharaohs is to think about what must have been inside them originally. King Tut’s tomb was very small (as he was a very insignificant king), but it was filled with the most amazing things, so much gold and incredible jewelry. So if Tut’s tomb had this much treasure in it, can you imagine what was in the tombs of someone like Seti I or Ramses II? It’s absolutely mind blowing to even contemplate.seti 1 egypt 2020.2

King Tut MaskNew next year, the new Cairo Museum: And I’m so excited that the new Cairo museum will be open for our next trip! The building is absolutely staggering, it’s just huge. It will hold the treasures of King Tut and for the first time, ALL the treasures will be on display. Plus, so many of the artifacts that have never been displayed just because there wasn’t enough room (the old Museum was built in 1905) will finally be seen in all their glory. I literally can’t wait!

This next trip is going to be even more spectacular with the new Museum opening. I urge you to get on the Wait List for our next trip, which is February 15-28, 2021. This year’s trip sold out in roughly two weeks, so I can’t imagine how fast this one will sell out. As soon as we have all the details, we’ll send you the information and then you can send in your deposit. Click here.

By the time you read this on Sunday, we’ll be winging our way back home and we will have completed our two hours of private time inside the Great Pyramid, doing ceremony and meditation. It’s always so powerful and I know it will be this year too.

Kissing on Camels and Kissing the Sphinx

Egypt group 2020

Debra and Richard and camel 2020

We have had the first few days of our fabulous Egypt trip! People from all over the country and Canada are here with us and as usual, we’re having the time of our lives on this amazing journey.

We always start right out with a camel ride to the Great Pyramid. Woman in orange on camelThey are so sweet and it’s so magnificent to just look up and there’s the Great Pyramid! Every year it’s just so stunning to be in the presence of this amazing structure that is so full of mystery.

Here’s Sherrilene getting a nuzzle from one of the camels! She came on a Soul Adventure last year and said to me “I must go to Egypt!” and now here she is! I love how that happens with so many people!

The camel guys always get a kick out of taking pictures of us kissing on our camels!

Kissing on camels 2020

And then it was on to the Sphinx, and this year we took a lot of photos playing around with the Sphinx.

Sphinx 2020

Here’s me kissing the Sphinx.

And now the Sphinx is kissing my hand.

This is a new one and it’s my favorite – me putting sunglasses on the Sphinx!

We did a beautiful ceremony in the desert at the Solar Cross, definitely the highlight of the day.

We also drove past the new Egyptian Museum which opens on 10/10/2020! The scale of this place is absolutely amazing! I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it next year and have it be a huge part of our trip next year, which will be February 15-28, 2021!

If you think you may want to go on the trip next year, I highly recommend getting yourself on our Waiting List. This year’s trip sold out in a little over 2 weeks and I’m sure that’s what’s going to happen for this next trip. Especially with the addition of the new Egyptian Museum. Click here to put yourself on the list – and we’ll send you all the information as soon as it’s available.

Our 2 Year Wedding Anniversary!

Our 2 year wedding anniversary is tomorrow, October 7. I’m so happy we were able to get married surrounded by the beautiful red rocks of Sedona and family and friends (we were limited to 40 guests for the wedding, so later that evening we had a huge bash that included all of our friends).

I can hardly believe it’s been 2 years! So much has happened in the past 2 years – most of it absolutely wonderful and some of it painfully sad.

It’s incredible to me that in the past 2 years we’ve lost three of our beautiful fur babies – first Richard’s dog, Prancer, 2 years ago, then my sweet Katie Kat last year and my beautiful, amazing Daisy this year.

Richard and I still talk about how we can’t believe they’re gone.

We still have our sweet Missy and she is so adorable (and we definitely feel their presence at certain times). This photo was taken shortly after Richard moved to Sedona; that’s Daisy the Golden Retriever on the left, Missy the Labradoodle in the middle and Prancer on the right.

But the most joyous thing has been that Richard is such a true partner. In our wedding ceremony, there was a portion added that I knew nothing about beforehand. My two dear friends, Ranjita and Yana, officiated the wedding. Eighteen years prior to that, I attended a Couples Workshop by Ranjita and during that workshop, one of the men said to his partner, “I’ve got your back.”

That day and throughout the years, Ranjita and I were constantly referencing that and talking about wanting to find a man who would “have our back.” Shortly after Richard and I connected, we were talking about something and he suddenly said “I’ve got your back, baby.” I couldn’t wait to get off the phone to tell Ranjita!

So she incorporated that into the ceremony, with us making the pledge to each other to always have each other’s back (the funniest part was that we were unprepared for this, she had us leaning against each other, we were on slick grass, I was wearing high heels and we both felt throughout this part of the ceremony that we were about to fall over, which would not have been the most auspicious start!).

And throughout these past two years, Richard has constantly been showing me how he has my back (and I hope he feels that way about me as well).

It is also such a dream come true that he has become such a support for me with Sedona Soul Adventures. With his extensive business background in Silicon Valley and his love of what we do, he’s just the perfect partner. He’s been to Peru with me three times and Egypt twice.

When I was preparing to write this, I went back and found the email I sent 2 years ago saying, “I got married yesterday.” What a blast from the past! I enjoyed reading it so much, I’ve included it below if you’d like to read it. I talk about how incredible it was that we even met in the first place and I included the poem that Richard had written, “735” (which is the number of miles between Sedona and San Jose, where he was living when we met).

Richard read the poem at our wedding and one of our clients who had been on the Peru trip with us that year and had done a Soul Adventure, got inspired after she read the poem in the newsletter and did a multimedia piece for us as a wedding gift entitled “735.”It includes the poem, a map between San Jose and Sedona, and beautiful colors. This photo doesn’t do it justice. It’s so beautiful and we have it hanging in the feng shui relationship corner in our home. Thanks again, Stephanie!

To finally be in a happy, joyous, amazing relationship at this stage of my life is almost unbelievable. And don’t get me wrong, we still have our stuff. We see some of our Sedona Soul Adventures Practitioners regularly because we always want to stay on top of everything. We want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to make this love and joy last and to be operating at the highest vibration.

Do we do it all the time? No, but we’re trying really hard in a wonderful way.

A few years ago, I was starting to believe that maybe this wasn’t possible, but I’m so happy to have found out that it is.

I wish all of you that kind of joy and love in your lives,
Debra

And here’s the newsletter from 2 years ago:

I got married yesterday in the beautiful Red Rocks of Sedona. My whole family was there and it was so incredibly beautiful. At least, I’m assuming it was. I wrote this on Monday, because I won’t have any time to write this once everyone starts arriving on Thursday. This photo was taken at our photo shoot on Thursday out in the beautiful Red Rocks of Sedona (Cathedral Rock, to be precise).

But the part I can say without any question is how amazed, surprised and happy I am about everything, and how incredible this whole thing has been. And I have to say it’s all because of Sedona Soul Adventures that this thing has happened at all.

After my divorce 7 years ago, I was hurting and really at a low point in my life. I was amazed that even after all the spiritual work I’ve done over the years, I was still having feelings of “not enough.” I was having thoughts of, “Is there something wrong with me?”, “Why wasn’t I able to make the marriage work?” and all that stinkin’ thinkin’ that goes with all that. I was stunned, because I thought I had dealt with all that sort of stuff a long time ago.

But you know, these core wounds run deep. They go back to our childhoods and some threads are even deeper than that, going back to past lives and beyond. Luckily for me, I had my amazing practitioners to help me. I practice what I preach. I know from 15 years with Sedona Soul Adventures that everything can be turned around. It’s not necessary to stay stuck or to stay unhappy. So I dove in, just like I tell people who come to do a Soul Adventure to do.

I discovered I still had some deep wounds from my childhood and from my past marriage. Isn’t it so interesting how that stuff just comes out in layers? Think onions… and at each layer one cries from the release of that stuck energy of the past. I did a number of very intense sessions with many of my practitioners, some of the deepest work I’ve ever done in my life. It was so liberating to come out of the other end of that.

But the best part was that I emerged from all that happy and whole (not perfect – we never reach that – but grounded and secure in the knowledge that I WAS enough). And I see now that’s what set everything in motion for love to come back into my life. If Richard and I had connected 7 years ago, I’m sure this wouldn’t have worked out. I just wasn’t in the space that you need to be in for a healthy relationship to come in and stay.

But when we connected, we were both in that happy and whole space. And it’s so interesting to me, that Richard and I should never have connected in the first place. We both had been on Match.com for a long time and I had made the decision over 2 years ago that if someone contacted me who was more than a two hour drive away that I wasn’t interested. I had done a long distance relationship 3 years ago and it was just too difficult. So if someone contacted me who was far away, I simply wouldn’t respond to them. At first that felt a little rude, but if I did respond to people that I wasn’t interested in a long distance relationship, that would always start this back and forth of them saying, “Oh come on,” “We can make it work,” etc. So I just didn’t respond at all, because I avoided all that.

Then last year I was sitting in the Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica with my sister watching another gorgeous Southern California sunset and drinking champagne. We were celebrating my book having reached Amazon #1 Bestseller, plus my sister loves sunsets. Suddenly I got a ping on my phone from Match. Richard had seen me on Match and he “liked” me. I saw his picture and his beautiful blue eyes, and then I read his profile. I loved what I saw, especially the way he spoke about his work and when he was speaking about his spiritual life and how important that was to him, I had a real reaction. But then I saw that he was from San Jose, California and my heart sank. I showed his picture to my sister and she said, “Cute!” I thought to myself, “This one I’m not going to be rude to” and I wrote him a message that said, “You look great, but you’re in San Jose.” I thought that would be the end of it.

Instead, he wrote back, “I know, I saw the potentially insurmountable distance. But I saw your picture and I see what you’re doing in the world and I just want you to know there’s someone out here who appreciates who you are.”

Wow.

I showed his response to my sister and she said “Good answer!”

We texted back and forth a little and then I told him I was visiting my family and we should talk next week. He called me the following week and that started the talking, texting and Skyping that went on for six weeks before he came to Sedona to visit me. Shortly after we were together for the first time, he wrote a poem called “735,” because it’s 735 miles between San Jose and Sedona. We read the poem at our wedding. He’s given me permission to share it with you.

735

Seven-hundred-thirty-five miles is a long way
They said
To travel so far to meet her
I was reminded that after hundreds of lifetimes
With and without her
With a hundred decades between our last love meeting
We have both come so far on our separate paths
Weaving, bobbing in-and-out of our crusted, heavy worlds
Falling, rising, drowning in our own lives only to surface again
To find each other
Finally
Deeply
Forever, again
735 miles was nothing

I feel so blessed. I feel so happy. I’m so full of love that I want everyone to have that and share it. One of our gifts from my bridal shower was a couples massage and we did that last Tuesday. As I was leaving, one of the women there who had been helping us all evening said to me, “I wish you every happiness and you give me hope that I could find a relationship again.” It’s been so amazing how many people have said that to both of us and we love that so much. We want to give people that hope. We feel blessed to be able to inspire others to reach for their hearts-desires.
