Heroes of Healing
A group writing project

20 years ago, Esther & Jerry Hicks began sharing the Teachings of Abraham, a Non-Physical Source Energy that communicates blocks of thought to Esther. While some refer to this process as ‘channeling’, Esther & Jerry do not. Their works include workshops (about 60 per year), more than 700 audio and video recordings and 9 books, the last 4 of which have been New York Times’ Best Sellers.

Abraham’s Teachings are based around ‘The Law of Attraction’ and the central role our emotions play in our lives. Long before ‘The Secret’ was released, Abraham and the Hicks’ were sharing this knowledge with the world, travelling throughout the United States, as well as overseas. They also host several seminar cruises each year, where folks can enjoy the luxury of sea-going experiences, visiting places like Tahiti, Alaska, Mexico and many other exotic venues, all the while engaging in workshops and seminars to hear the Teachings of Source.

Abraham teaches that ‘life is supposed to be fun!’ and that we can create our lives however we wish with effortless ease. They impart their wisdom, straight from Source Energy, in a way that is easy to understand and funny all at once. It is this sense of humor that seems to help people digest their teachings without the heaviness of the more ‘serious’ religious tenets. They will be heard saying that religion has nothing at all to do with Source Energy. We call it “God” or “Allah” or many other names, but the real Source is not an ‘entity’ at all. Source Energy is ‘all that is’, much like that ‘thing’ we often refer to as “God”. They continue to share these Teachings with all who are searching for a better understanding of Life. They impart these Teachings with joy, humor, and with great Love for all Beings.

What Camille Has Learned From Abraham ~

Long before ‘The Secret’ was released, a very dear friend sent me 2 audiotapes of Abraham workshops she’d attended. The moment I heard Esther’s voice, I was hooked. There was just something about her voice and what she was delivering that made my insides tingle and the hair on my neck stand straight up. I listened intently, feeling the truth of what I was hearing, not with my ears, but rather, in the deepest part of me. It is often said that we can hear the same lessons over and over, but it is the TEACHER who touches that deeper part of us who we learn from the most. Esther’s voice, Abraham’s teachings….I had, at last, found my teacher.

Since that first time, I’ve listened to their audio CDs and read most of their books, adopting the Teachings as my own personal ‘bible’. I had been going through some really tough physical dis-ease and it was Abraham who helped me to get through that experience and move my Self back to wellness. Even when the pain was at it’s worst, all I had to do was lie down on my bed and repeat the words, “My body knows what to do to be well. All I have to do is breathe and rest. Breathe and rest. Breathe and rest.” In just a few minutes, the pain would diminish and I could actually feel myself ‘well’.

Even now, when things get a bit precarious, all I need do is stop for a moment and find a better feeling thought. Once I do that, any angst or fear I was feeling dissipates immediately. Finding that ‘better feeling thought’ is the key to my joyous living. I practice these teachings daily, and find my Life getting better and better all the time.

Mike Dooley is a writer, speaker and Man About The Universe who prefers to take things lightly. His mannerisms, as well as his delivery, are fun, light-hearted and incredibly inspiring. He was in the original version of The Secret, speaking passionately about visualizing clearly and using our emotions to feel our way to our desires. His is a unique and uplifting perspective.

He spent the earlier part of his ‘career’ as an international tax consultant with Price Waterhouse. Shortly after he began working at PW, he was assigned to ‘sunny Saudi Arabia’ to assist various corporations with their tax needs. At some point during that career, he realized it was time for a change. He set out to open his own business, along with his artistic brother and managerial Mom. They came up with the idea to make T-shirts, calling the company ‘TUT’; Totally Unique Thoughts. (for his full bio, visit his website, www.tut.com)

After moderate success with their T-Shirt business, he realized that there was more to do. Listening to his ‘inner voice’, he began recording audio CDs for people to hear his own unique version of how the Universe works. According to Mike, the single most important thing for us to remember is “thoughts become things”. To that end, he brought all he’d learned about Life to share with the world.

Mike writes “Notes From The Universe”, daily email reminders that we DO have the power to think our way to our dreams. Having written more than 2000 ‘notes’, he now has 4 books under the same name. He travels around the globe, spreading his unique perspectives and helping people to realize their power. His works are fun, laugh-out-loud’ funny and incredibly motivating.

What Camille Strate Learned From Mike Dooley~

I was privileged to meet Mike Dooley in 2007 at the lovely Sheraton in San Diego, CA. It was a gift I gave myself for my birthday. At the time, money was a bit ‘tight’, so I decided to use his teachings and buy the ticket anyway. I told myself, over and over, that the money to cover the cost of the ticket would come. I visualized the checks coming in the mail. I clearly ‘saw’ those checks stuck in the birthday cards I knew would be coming from my friends and family. I reminded myself that “how” was not my job. Just seeing that money arriving was all I had to do. Miraculously (or not!) the money DID arrive. In fact, it was to the penny. Enough to cover the ticket, parking and lunch for the day! To say that it was money well spent is the understatement of the year. Those 8 hours were some of the most fun, most inspiring, most thought-provoking hours of my life. I was literally buzzing when I left to head home, and that feeling stayed with me for many days afterward.

Of all the ‘teachers’ I’ve been exposed to, none has resonated with me as much as Mike. His sense of humor and his absolute passion for this truth (that thoughts become things) keep me grounded and utterly certain that I do create my world with my thoughts. The lighter I take myself, the easier my life proves to be. I keep his books on my bedside table, reading a few ‘notes’ each morning and each evening. The notes are a constant reminder that Life is really a grand adventure, full of fun and exciting moments….if only we will choose to live it that way! I could go on and on about how much he’s taught me, but I’ll leave it to you to find out for yourself.
