IANDS

On January 8, I attended a monthly meeting of the International Association for Near-Death Studies, Inc. (IANDS)


The Chicago IANDS group meets at the Evanston Hospital.

Dr Jeff Long was the speaker.  He is the author of Evidence of the Afterlife, and .founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation. 

I am looking forward to future meetings of this group.  I think I need to learn about these things, and i am grateful for Gail to pushing me (for years) to attend.

The group's facilitator, Diane Willis, started the session by inviting people to meditate briefly while she played a  Native American flute.   I had an interesting meditation.  I prayed that I might learn what I need to learn, and receive what healing i need.  I thought about my heart chakra, and about how it seems to be locked in some way.  I prayed that it might become un-locked and healed.  Then I began to think about locks...as in air-locks, or ship locks.  I realized locks can be good.  They can keep you safe from more than you can handle of what you want.  I saw how a metaphysical mechanism like a ship lock can protect my heart chakra by allowing in a little energy at a time to bring it up to the next level.  Little by little, in a safe way, I can receive that for which I pray.

This was a powerful visualizatiion, which helped me understand certain things.  Thank you, Spirit!


Afterwards we had a great dinner at Tommy Nevins Pub in Evanston.


Thank you, Gail!
