A PATH TO INNER PEACE: HEALING FROM STRESS, PAIN, & TRAUMA
A Quest for Well-Being
— The richest aspects of the journey aren’t the big spiritual experiences. They’re where the mystery meets each moment of our daily lives. Experiencing deep healing and insight there doesn’t require practicing harder or longer. It just requires that we prioritize presence. Our practice comes alive when we prioritize presence above the deeply ingrained urges to self-protect. As each fear challenges us, we reassure ourselves that even if (or when) it came to pass, it could never take our connection to life itself. We will always have a home in awareness. No one and nothing can take that...

BREAKING THE SILENCE ON SPIRIT POSSESSION
A Quest for Well-Being
— The deep emotional pain you carry seeps into every part of life - waves of intense sadness, anxiety, or sudden anger that leave you drained. Thoughts spin endlessly, relationships grow tense, and exhaustion becomes constant. At times, you no longer recognize yourself, as though something unseen is shaping your feelings. It feels like you're losing control of your own life, and no one truly understands the depth of your suffering. For others, the pain is in watching a loved one change before their eyes. A partner, child, or parent becomes withdrawn, irritable, or almost unrecognizable, and...

A Deeper Story Of Your Soul & Its Essential Nature
A Quest for Well-Being
— What if reality isn’t material at all—but a shared dream, woven by infinite, eternal minds? In James book, The Dream of Matter, he explores the radical idea that our brains are not just organs of survival, but reflections of the soul’s deeper activity. If that’s true, then the existence of the soul is not only real, but measurable—visible in the patterns of thought, the rhythms of brainwaves, and the coherence or incoherence of our lives. This is more than spiritual speculation. By decoding the mathematics behind mind and matter, the book offers a structured, rational...

info_outline— The longest relationship you will have in your life is the one with yourself! You want to feel Simply Self-Wonderful, perhaps not all the time but at least most of the time and to know ways to get back to being Simply Self-Wonderful so you can live the life you want and create for yourself.
The Simply Self-Wonderful Card Deck and The Simply Self-Wonderful Inner Workout Book came out of that yearning in Judy. Wanting to feel loved, accepted, and worthy of love. And try as she might, something always blocked her – herself! That’s why the Self word is repeated in every attribute (card). And that’s why there is a hyphen between the attribute and the Self. They are connected and inseparable if you want to truly love yourself and flourish in life. Self-love isn’t always easy. There’s no Self-Love destination. It’s an ongoing journey you take with yourself. And self-love doesn’t demand perfection either. Just trying to take one step at a time is more than enough. You’ve got this!
