Today marks my 6 month souljourn adventure of Renya On The Road.
Time for Celebration!
The day began with an awesome Crystal Bed Healing Session.
Thank you Rose & Lyn for the generous complimentary gift.
Thank you Deb for the most amazing experience!
Thank you 300 year old oak tree grove for the restful grounding after the session.
What is Crystal Bed Therapy?
The concept of the Crystal Bed, also called crystal bath therapy, was channeled to
John of God who then had it developed for practical use and incorporated it as an
important healing modality at his healing center affectionately known as "the Casa."
For visitors to the Casa, the Crystal Healing Beds are available to all and are
prescribed by the Entities (Healing Spirit Guides) of the Casa for rejuvenation,
alignment and balancing of our energy fields, which in turn aids in the process of
spiritual and physical healing. When you walk before John of God during his
"incorporation" by the Entities for a healing, he prescribes: visible or invisible
surgery, sitting in the Current Room, taking Herbs, receiving a Crystal Healing
Bath, or receiving a cleansing under the sacred waterfall.
What is a Crystal Bed?
A Crystal Bed has 7 extremely clear and highly polished Vogel cut quartz crystals
suspended approximately 12 inches above the client lying on a massage table. Each of
the quartz crystals has been cut to a specific frequency. Each crystal is aligned
above one of the seven human energy centers or chakras. Colored lights, chosen to
match the frequency of chakra colors, radiate light and energy through the crystals
to each respective chakra, and shine on and off in certain rhythms to cleanse,
balance, and align your energies. The individual receiving the session rests face up
with eyes closed, bathing in the energy.
Who is John of God?
In a remote corner of Brazil, the man known as John of God is changing people's lives in astonishing ways. For 52 years and counting, miracles of this sort have been happening around this unassuming Brazilian,
who takes no credit for them. "I have never healed anybody. It is God who heals," he often says.
Born poor
in the state of Goiás, often hungry in his youth, João attended school only briefly and never
learned to read or write, setting to work as a tailor at an early age. The first big glimpse of his gift occurred
at age 9, when, as the story goes, he predicted that a sudden, savage storm would destroy houses in Nova
Ponte, a nearby village. It was a lovely day at the time, and people dismissed his prophecy. When 50 houses
were damaged by tornado-force winds, no one had a logical explanation. The extent of his ability became
even more apparent at age 16 when João, tired, famished, and looking for a place to wash up, had an
overwhelming vision of a beautiful woman down by a river. She gave him the address of a spiritual center
and told him to go there. He went, and promptly fainted. When he awoke, several hours later, an astonished
crowd had gathered. They told João he had performed healings all afternoon. He came to believe that
the woman who'd guided him was Saint Rita of Cascia, and that while he was unconscious, the spirit of King
Solomon had taken up residence in his body and done the healing work.
For John of God—or as he is known in Abadiânia, Medium João— the
realization of his gift was accompanied by years of persecution and lawsuits for practicing medicine without a
license. That didn't stop him from his mission—to aid anyone who requested it, free of
charge—and as time passed and he managed to help such high-profile politicians as the president of
Peru and the mayors of assorted Brazilian towns, he was accepted and even protected, treated as a national
treasure.
The question of how a malignant tumor disappears from someone's body, how a blind person ends up
seeing again, how the lame suddenly walk—how darkness turns to light, in other words—is not
a small one. Our rational minds search for analytical handholds, evidence. In Abadiânia, the currency
is more ephemeral: To show up here to see John of God is an act of faith.

Later in the day
a trip to Trader Joe's
and then off to Ventura Beach with Lynn, Ebn and Robert
who I'm staying with in Ojai's mystical Matilija Canyon.
Ocean Playtime
didn't take my shoes off ~silly me ~
now I have sea smellin sandals
and the mermaid in me doesn't mind.
Strolling along the beach and stirring up attention and visitations
with housepet snake Manawa
Snakes sure do conjur up a concoction of emotions
from all kinds of folks.
~ Here are some words of wisdom to keep in mind when meeting a snake ~
Love is Letting Go of Fear
Be willing to be weird
and have a good time
What is the difference
between a human body and a snake?
There is none.
The same consciousness animates both.
It's been a good day
a blessed day
and now that's time to say goodnight.
