This is not a path of spiritual certainty. This is a path which helps you learn to deal with the unexpected, the unknown, and the uncertain. This is work for those who are done with the superficial and are looking for the deeper layers of life.

I&#8217;ve been getting myself into the soil of my new life here in Oregon. And I feel very much like a gardener.</span></p><p><span>Back in January and February, I spent quite a bit of time thinking on the new growth possibilities in my new life. I gathered the proverbial seeds and the starts, made plans for planting, and got everything going inside the greenhouse.</span></p><p><span>Now the greenhouse is filled with luscious new growth in the form of a variety of new publications all waiting to bust out of the greenhouse and make their way to your garden.</span></p><p><span>It&#8217;s not been a straight forward process. Like most of my gardening experiences, there&#8217;s been a lot of several steps forward followed by rolling the wheelbarrow over my toe. Lots of weeding out the unnecessary and the malicious bits still hanging around from the turmoil over the last couple of years.</span></p><p><span>In the process, I have realized that I have been in a place where experience had grown expectation that life was going to be unpleasant. I have nipped this bud and its trailing vine of despair. I think the biggest bloom in the greenhouse is my presence.</span></p><p><span>Interestingly, and not surprisingly, one of the biggest boosts for my sustaining growth has been getting back to volunteering at the Portland Japanese Garden. I was a tour guide there when I left Portland six years ago. And they are willing to welcome me back. And I am beyond excited to have this place of my heart return.</span></p><p><span>Over the next couple of months, there will be many greenhouse exits that I think you will find wonderful and worth your effort to add to your garden of knowing.</span></p><p><span>Today, my newest Akashic Records book is available for free from </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4P6NQXX"><span>Amazon.com</span></a><span>.</span></p><p><em><strong>The Unknown Road: The Akashic Records as Your Soul&#8217;s Spiritual Practice</strong></em><span> has rich soil indeed. I see it as an exploration into the spiritual practice that the Akashic Records are and always becoming. And while, if you have read any of my other efforts, you&#8217;ll find familiar guidance for accessing your Akashic Records. Still this book puts the energy bits together with depth and clarity. I am very proud that it&#8217;s ready to bloom on its own.</span></p><p><span>Also </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H9NJWY2Y"><span>available for pre-order</span></a><span> is the expansion of the wildly popular 500 Questions: </span><em><strong>A Thousand Questions to Ask Your Akashic Records</strong></em><span>. I started into a mild update and before I knew it, the questions had multiplied like my Grandmother&#8217;s iris. This book publishes next week, though the print versions are available now.</span></p><p><span>I will also that I have recently published three new explore books to help you expand your experience and connection with the Akashic Records -- and also available at no charge today on Amazon.com:</span></p><ul><li><p><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G2PM4ZXW">From Control to Trust</a></em></p></li><li><p><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G394LKN4">Restoring Wholeness</a></em></p></li><li><p><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3HR6BX1/">Sacred Fire</a></em></p></li></ul><p><span>Audio versions of these three should be available within the next week.</span></p><p><span>Well, that&#8217;s the bounty for now. I will be reaching out again as more becomes available.</span></p><p><span>In Joy!</span><br><em><strong>Cheryl</strong></em></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
