JAMES ARTHUR RAY

by Evita Ochel of Evolving Beings

James Arthur Ray was born on November 22, 1957 in Hawaii. He was the son of a minister and was thus brought up in a traditional “Christian” household. However as he grew up he began to study various spiritual traditions. James has been initiated into three shamanic orders from the Incan culture and the supernatural Huna tradition of ancient Hawaii.

James has lead an interesting life to say the least. He has travelled the globe, studied with various cultures and spoken to millions of people out there. On top of all this, despite having gone bankrupt almost twice, today he is a thriving entrepreneur and a self-made milioner.

To some he is known as a “practical mystic”, as he has been healing and changing lives for the past 25 years! He has a background in behavioral sciences and entrepreneurship. He has a unique and powerful ability to address life issues from a balanced, integrated and wide-ranging level.

To others in the world, James is known as an author, speaker, mentor, teacher and business man. He has been featured on several prominent television shows including Oprah. He has published numerous books, the latest of which is Harmonic Wealth and has become a New York Times bestseller. He has given many talks, lectures, workshops and seminars. James was also featured in the movie “The Secret“.

James is also the President and CEO of James Ray International, a multi-million dollar corporation dedicated to teaching individuals to create wealth in all areas of their lives: financially, relationally, mentally, physically and spiritually.

What I, Evita Have Learned From James Arthur Ray

James Arthur Ray has indeed touched and changed millions of lives. My first introduction to James was in the movie “The Secret”. He was not only a great speaker, but carried himself with a powerful aura of energy.

Although I have been greatly enriched by all the books that I have read from James Arthur Ray, the one that was most influential to me was “Practical Spirituality”. I especially enjoyed this book, because I felt that in it James takes all of his valuable wisdom and presents it in the most compact and practical way. In the book, James does not just focus on theory but dedicates most of it to applying his life changing techniques in practical ways for everyone to easily understand.

I have also been personally touched by his consistent and motivating messages that revolve around self-empowerment, the Law of Attraction and being in charge of one’s destiny. Through all this, James teaches that we all have the tools to create the life of our dreams, which is rooted in using our minds to their fullest potential.

He who chooses to be a master never does just enough to get by; nor does he cut corners or attempt to cheat the system. He who chooses mastery lives his life asking, ‘How can I do more, give more, be more, and thereby accelerate the achievement of my ultimate destiny?’

He has thus increased my personal knowledge of living life out of a deeper contentment, balance, peace-of-mind and deeper connection to the world as a whole. The best part about this being too, is that he has a strong intricate balance between spirituality and personal-development. For me these two areas go hand in hand and I do not believe one can be fully achieved without the other.

Although many are attracted to his principles to attract money, for me his principles go way beyond that. I personally love most his definition that wealth means so much more than just money. It is about having abundance in all areas of one’s life, including love, health, joy, friendships, etc.

I also think that one of the most life changing and healing messages that James provides is that our thoughts create our emotions and our emotions drive our actions. Hence he puts a strong emphasis and explains that our life is the result of how we play out our emotions, thoughts and actions together.

What I, Lola Fayemi have Learned from Joe Vitale

I first came across Joe Vitale on the law of attraction DVD ‘The Secret’. Instantly, I was drawn to his energy, his passion and no nonsense way of explaining metaphysical concepts. My next experience of Joe was reading ‘The Attractor Factor’ and ‘Spiritual Marketing’; he was exactly what was looking for. Coming from a corporate background and feeling new to my spirituality, I was looking for a way to build my business without selling out but without compromising on success. I was looking for balance; I respected spiritual laws but didn’t feel totally at peace with the “new age” movement. Joe Vitale showed me it was possible to mix the two.

What I love about Joe Vitale is that he has a really down to earth way of explaining concepts and making life-changing information easily accessible for the masses and he really gets it out there to the mainstream. Also, for spiritual entrepreneurs out there like me he is an example of what’s possible when we believe and take action. His approach is holistic, helping people transform from the inside out to achieve success beyond their wildest dreams and enjoy miracles. He is a great example of what spiritual living is about, he is guided, he takes action and he enjoys the physical side of life whilst always honouring his spiritual side.

Joe will change your life if you let him!

What Marilyn Kay Has Learned From Dr. Northrup

From the late 40’s to mid 50’s is an awakening time for a woman, when there is a psychic and energetic shift from the identity she has known with her home and family to an urgent need for personal exploration and self-expression.  There is literally a hormone-driven re-wiring of the brain taking place, a call to move both inward and outward.  Inward to find her wisdom and explore her deepest connection to herself, and outward to express her courage and her voice.  This is the most creative time for a woman, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. It is also a time when she begins to create from a place of knowledge and vision for all the women who will come behind her. “When Sleeping Beauty wakes up, she is almost 50 years old.” (Maxine Cumin)

Books/CDs: Life Visioning (Audio CD), Spiritual Liberation: Fulfilling Your Soul’s Potential (Nov. 2008)

What Lisa Erickson Learned From Michael Beckwith

“To the degree that you can break free of consensus thinking (normal thinking), to that degree, the fullness of God rushes in and becomes the activity of your awareness and your affirmation of that truth becomes your reality.” As this quote shows, Dr. Beckwith’s teachings go far beyond the law of attraction as it is presented in The Secret. He urges us to full spiritual liberation, by breaking through the traps of our conditioned thinking and experiencing. He urges us to live our lives as expressions of divine love, in every thought, word, and deed – not through judgment and force, but by shifting the loci of our awareness to another level.

Brandon Bays: A Journey To Freedom

I first met Brandon Bays at an introductory evening in December 1999 in Sydney, Australia. I was so impressed with Brandon’s story, I then attended The Journey intensive weekend in February 2000. This was a life healing and changing process for me. Des, my life partner commented on how free I was after this weekend, like a layer had been lifted. I know for me I was able to release stored memories that enabled me to forgive myself along with family members and others.

Eight years on I still marvel at the power of the Journey Process, the stories of healing I have both heard about as well as been witness too. Most years I spend one weekend volunteering at a journey intensive. This weekend is always powerful. Watching other people experience the joy that comes from this simple process. There are some amazing stories of healing.

What Suzie Cheel Learned From Brandon:

“Come to the Edge”, he said. “We can’t Master, we’re scared.” “Come to the Edge”, he said. “We can’t Master, we’re scared.” “Come to the Edge”, he said. They came. He pushed them. They flew.

This quotation is in the front of a journal I was given after completing my Journey intensive to record my journey to freedom. The Journey and working with Brandon Bays has given me tools to release much of the emotional baggage I like, many others, have carried around for many years.

I love the Physical Journey process where I can simply, by myself explore a physical issue and release the pain and move on.

I love how Brandon simplifies what we don’t know and says to put it in the “bucket of unknowables” Allow Grace to take care of it!

Brandon’s latest book Freedom Is a wonderful resource that you can use daily for meditation and release. I use the CD that accompanies the book.

For many years I have regularly used The Healing Sand meditation for both release and meditation.

The friendships that I have formed over the years through The Journey are wonderful. I have also completed many of the advanced courses offered. Now there are many free workshops and teleclasses to introduce you to the Journey Process. Details can be found at Brandon Bays. and these are worldwide.

The Journey is an invitation for you to participate in your own natural healing process by diving into the core of your being to uncover the greatness that is locked inside!
