October‘98 Letters From Aline Ball, Tucson, AZ: "Dear Richard, Thank you for a great Sedona Healing Seminar. When measured against my seminar "expectations," the reality of your seminars is almost always much better! "I think the healing is working, but in an unusual way. While I was in Sedona, someone made a doctor's appointment for me (no one in my family). The doctor didn't know who made it, but I decided to keep it. When they tested me they found out that I was bleeding internally. My doctor said, "I'd never in a million years have guessed where the problem was." Part of my stomach was caught in a hernia, and near a bleeding ulcer. I was informed that it would kill me if I don't have it surgically repaired." Note: Aline has come to several seminars and we've gotten to know her. Tara called her prior to the surgery to wish her well, and she lit a candle for her at the appointed time. Not only is she now doing fine, but the surgery saved her son's life as well. He was scheduled to attend a conference in Europe, but wanting to be near his mother during surgery. As a result, he canceled his plane reservation on the Swiss Air flight that crashed in the sea near Nova Scotia. In her latest note, Aline writes, "Dr. Jaffe never did find out who made the appointment. Maybe it somehow relates to the tremendous healing energy I experienced during your seminar. I don't believe in coincidences. Even my brother, a Presbyterian minister, calls them 'God-ordained events.' Maybe it was to save my son's life." * * * * * From Daryl Joyce, MS/ABS, Chp. Baltimore, MD: The three-day Sedona Psychic Seminar opened some amazing new insights for me, especially the automatic writing. Many messages were received during the various meditations/exercises in the workshop along with the meditations among the ancient rocks of Lemurian and the 'Night Walking' with Steven Piccus. This was truly a magical three days. My thanks to Dick & Tara Sutphen, Steven and the special friends I met there. Here's what followed the seminar. "The Dance of the Butterfly: Taking my time after the seminar, I stopped to experience the Tuzigoot Indian Dwellings. It was a beautiful warm day so the climb to the top was nice and easy. While sitting on the top of the dwelling, a beautiful black, yellow and blue butterfly danced around me, flying up and down past my head. I kept saying, 'beautiful butterfly.' It flew down behind the dwelling wall, back up, around me numerous times. Then I put out my hand saying, 'Beautiful butterfly, you can rest here.' After about 10-15 minutes, very gracefully, the butterfly came and gently sat on my finger, resting a few minutes before taking off again. A mother and her teenage daughter came up and quietly watched as it continued the dance." * * * * * From Alice Dexter, Yucaipa, CA: "Dear Richard, I'm sending you a record of what I experienced in the Sedona Healing Seminar last month." Note: Alice's letter is ten-typed pages. The following are a few excerpts: "In the past-life regression, I went back to 1628 and saw myself as a man working with fine leather--embossing it with old and well-used tools. I could feel the pride and the love he had for his work, each time he finished a section of the leather. "Then you asked us to look at our fears--the ones we wanted to heal. Fear of abandonment came up strongest. When directed back to the cause of this fear, I found myself approaching my village on the edge of a forest. The buildings were made of thatch and mud. I had been gone for six weeks and returned to find the entire village deserted. I didn't know what happened to all my neighbors. "Next, I jumped back into my current life and found myself gathering up the little girl who had been abandoned (my inner child). Stepping outside of time and space, I also gathered the young man who found his village abandoned. As we all hugged each other, we cried together and vowed we would never be alone again. "In Tara's afternoon automatic writing session, I made contact with my spirit guide who wrote through my hand about my repression, defiance, old emotional pain, and judgment. Then I received this from some aspect of my totality: "I don't want to heal. I like my pain and the attention I get because of it. I don't have to grow up. I can always be the little child who is not held accountable for her actions. I get hugs and kisses to make me feel better. I would not get them if I was healed. Leave me alone. "That was an eye-opener. "Saturday morning joint-healing session directed by Dick: I saw a yellow light, curved like a rainbow that gradually turned blue. I felt drawn upward--very peaceful and I could feel my guides all around me. I could feel the blue light getting stronger, and as I passed the healing energy to Gail, I saw and felt the light change back from blue to white. The feeling at the completion of the session was one of total peace and balance. "When Gail worked on me, I felt as if I has stepped aside and allowed the healing to happen unguided. It was an odd sensation, but one of great tranquillity. I could feel the heat from her hands on my head, my hands and my upper back. As she worked on me, I saw curved bands of light rising up from below my vision, pass in front of my third eye and continue on up into my crown chakra. I felt as if I had been lifted up to a higher plane." Note: Alice describes other healing sessions here, then ends by providing an overview of her experience. "The healing that took place at the seminar has continued. It took the past-life regression at a later session to complete it, but I have remained free of pain in the lower back--a pain that has been with me off and on for the last 28 years. (In this life, I injured my neck and lower back in a riding accident when I was 12.)" * * * * * Web visitors are invited to ask questions and send letters about your seminar experiences or experiences using our tapes.
