The Miracle of Braco

Braco

Braco (prn. Brah-zo) means "little brother" in Croatian. His given name is Josip (Joseph) but only his parents still call him that. He says: "We all carry a seed inside, which can become a beautiful fruit one day." In other words we are an extension or expression of the Divine - a Divine spark which can one day become a Divine Flame. I went to see Braco for the first  time yesterday in Stuttgart, Germany and it was an experience I will never forget and which touched me so deeply that I even see differently today - it's as if I'm floating and everything is filled with light. In a way, the experience of Braco's gaze of pure unconditional love allowed me a direct realization of my divine identity. This energy that flows through Braco and is transmitted to others through his eyes comes directly from Source and is pure Life, Light and Love. When I looked into Braco's eyes, I saw Jesus. This is how Source (Universal Intelligence, God) sees every single one of us - with unconditional love and acceptance. Also, Braco seemed to lose definition when I looked at him, at times I saw him twice, as if he was stepping outside of himself and that night I saw auras, with colors, around everyone.

Braco does not talk to his visitors, nor does he touch them or use any other form of nonverbal suggestion: He simply gazes at them. He does not call himself a healer, does not instruct anybody to break off any medical therapy they are currently doing, and does not claim to be special in any way. But his successes and the reports of his visitors about fascinating recoveries and positive changes in their lives attract more and more people from all over the world. And during those silent sessions people feel deeply touched even without having any direct and personal contact with Braco. They feel touched by an invisible and silent power, which is flowing through them and they try to open and assimilate that power.

Braco is the son of a lawyer and actually studied economics at university and had a successful private business until he was 26, when his Divine Calling manifested itself in a way that was impossible to resist. There are several books and DVDs (in English, German and Croatian) about him if you are interested in finding out more.

Past Lives: Spiritual Tourism vs. Healing of Inner Wounds

Allegory of Giotto di Bondone
Allegory of Chastity
c. 1330, Fresco, Lower Church, San Francesco, Assisi

In my book Unicorn Magic: How to Manifest Your Desires by Living a Life of Divine Love I describe how I was told by the inner voice that knowledge of past lives only serves us if we focus on healing, not on mere curiosity or spectacles. I also describe my spontaneous past life regression to the time I was publicly strangled as a "witch" which healed my persistent throat illnesses.

Since then, I've had insight into 2 more lives on Earth, this time through dreams and visions.

Now, I know I haven't spent much time on Earth but I can at the moment recall 3 different past lives on this planet. Initially, I was a priest - a High Priest - in Atlantis. At first I thought I was female with powerful energy but I am not entirely sure... I see myself as male, mostly. Anyway, I can see myself arms wide in front of a big beautiful white temple on something like a stage or a pedestal before a huge crowd. I know I have a lot of influence over these people. I want to use my power and charisma for good (I belong to the Children of the Law of One). This mostly works...I share spiritual truth, knowledge and inspiration. But I also have arrogance and tend to "look down" - literally and figuratively - on the ones I view as "below me", i.e. not as smart, not as advanced, not as cultured.

Then, I can also recall a lifetime as a Catholic nun in medieval Italy. I am not sure if this was before or after the "witch" episode because they were pretty close together - only a few centuries apart. I am from a noble family, aristocratic looking, and I wish strongly, almost fervently, to dedicate my life to my spiritual practice and progress. I know the only way I can do this is by entering a convent and becoming a nun. (Interesting that in this lifetime I attended a private all-girls convent school from the time I was 10 - 16.) I recall myself as wearing an all-white dress and covering my light and thick long hair with a white hood. I also remember speaking to God a lot and finding God to exist in the still inner voice of my heart. I was a mystic. I also remember taking a vow of poverty. This was one of my hardest beliefs to break free from in this life, that spirituality must equal poverty. Now I know that money is Divine energy, like everything else. Money is love which blesses whoever and whatever it touches. God is Abundance, and by celebrating beauty we are glorifying God.

John of God & Me


Yesterday, my photograph went in front of John of God from Abadiania in Brazil for the first time. I have been waiting for this day for a loong time, but I had to learn patience. All in Divine Time.

On the same day, 19th May 2011, Dr Wayne Dyer posted this on Twitter:

I recently had a healing encounter with John of God from Brazil and I am seeing love everywhere. 

I always need to be invited and asked before I go to see anyone, and the guidance towards John of God has been the most persistent yet. I also saw this film: Healing - Miracles, Mysteries and John of God and loved it. It really spoke to my heart on a higher dimensional level.

What's in a Name?

Saint Catherine of Alexandria
 A lot. Have you ever thought about the meaning of your name? Don't forget, you chose your own name before birth and it carries many vibrational messages for you. If you married and adopted a new last name, there's a new incoming vibration. In The Tao of Mermaids I tell you how to use Angel numbers and numerology to discover your Life Path and Soul Expression number, amongst others. But, apart from this very useful information, there is also  the literal meaning of your name.

My good friend Sophie was going to name her second son (1 year older than my first) "Kiran", the Sanskrit word for "ray of light" or "sunbeam". He ended up being called something entirely different, though, and nobody knew about this "change of heart" until I named MY son Kiran after his own instructions (he talked to me prior to conception and while I was pregnant, a so-called "spirit baby") a year later. Now, it never occurred to me before to use a Sanskrit name although my (English) husband grew up in India, and has strong familial, ancestral and spiritual ties with the country. My friend laughed and said: "Well, the universe must have saved that one for you!"

My own name, Katharina, comes from the Greek and translates to "pure". There are many versions and variations of my name. It's also popular amongst the saint and royal names. The Angels told me to use my nickname "Kitty" for my spiritual work because the vibration of it is very conducive. My middle name is the name of a German mystic and saint, and my last name is spiritual as well. I always feel that my name "suits me" and also gives me lot to live up to, which I like.

What about our own name? What does it mean? Do you feel comfortable with it?

Parrots, Feng Shui and the Dominican Flag

Gemstone Parrot
The other day, somebody sent me pictures of several animal statues (turtle, elephant, frog, lion, rabbit etc.). They were all lovely and made from very interesting crystals but it was the last – a parrot – that really caught my eye. Since then, I have been thinking about parrots and what they symbolize. So, I did some research and found the following information:

In Chinese culture, for hundreds of years the parrot has held a place of honor in ancient China. Often kept in the living quarters of women, parrots were considered the keeper of their secrets. Throughout the years parrots have come to symbolize several different things in the Chinese culture:
  • Traditionally parrots, and other birds, symbolized freedom and long life. A parallel is often drawn between a bird and the life experience and wisdom that comes with old age.
  • A pair of parrots symbolizes affection, fidelity and deep, enduring love – what we call “lovebirds” today.
  • Parrots are also associated with feng shui. According to feng shui, parrots symbolize positive energy. These birds are considered as bearers of good news and it is also said that the feathers of parrots possess different colors that represent the five elements of feng shui - water, wood, fire, earth and metal.
The flag of Dominica has a parrot at its center, symbolizing the flight to greater heights of fulfillment of the aspirations of the people.

In Native American tribal animal symbolism, parrots are considered messengers of specific prayers and can bestow blessings. I'm reading a book by Ken Carey (author of The Starseed Transmissions) right now called "The Return of the Bird Tribes" which is an account of the spiritual history of several Native American tribes. The "bird tribes" are closely connected to the angels and the Eternal Light. Birds, with their wings and ability to bridge heaven and earth stand for messengers from Source.

What is the Purpose of the Indigo Children?


Angels, Planets and Solar Systems
Earth has now reached a point in evolution where “ascension” is very likely, and these evolved souls are here to guide and pave the way. These souls are very old and advanced but most of them have not incarnated on this planet for a very long time, if ever. Many have incarnated in Atlantis and/ or Lemuria and feel a connection with these places, with spiritual healing and the power, intelligence and healing abilities of crystals, which were practiced and acknowledged in these civilizations.

Waves of unusual individuals are beginning to incarnate on earth—groups distinguished by their ability to make use of deeply ingrained memories and powers of consciousness acquired in previous incarnations in Atlantis and Lemuria. These individuals are literally the heralds of a quantum leap in consciousness.

Indigo children incarnate with different specialized talents, skills and abilities. Those that are referred to as the Children of the Blue Ray are especially powerful in terms of mental faculties and creative ideas; while those linked with the Green Ray connected to the Heart Chakra are the loving empaths, counselors and healers. When we look around, technology is developing at an unprecedented rate, and innovative ideas and discoveries abound. At the same time, alternative and complementary therapies are flourishing and there is a revival of interest in the healing powers of tress, plants, herbs and crystals.

Body, mind and spirit are interconnected. We speak of "embodiment" - our inner being expresses itself as and in physical reality. If treated with care, the body aids and cleanses the mind and spirit. The mind acts as the builder, which oversees and regulates the cell’s innate healing and adapting abilities. The spirit is the essence of life, infusing and inspiring the mind and body with transforming grace, beauty and creativity.

The spiritual dimension is the foundation upon which everything else rests, and the spiritual life is the substance where all originates. Until we have experienced this Reality for ourselves, it will remain unknown to us.
The German poet and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832) affirms that, “All truly wise thoughts have been thought already, thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, until they take firm root in our personal experience.”

What the new children have in common is a sense of self-awareness, and an awareness of others, far beyond that of previous generations. This inclusive and perceptive consciousness indicates a shift in consciousness from competition to cooperation, and from anger, hatred and violence to compassion, empathy and unity consciousness.

The Difference Between Being Broke, and Being Poor

"Consider the lilies in the field, how they grow: they neither toil, nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." (Matthew 6:27-29)


When you practically apply the techniques outlined below, day after day, you will never think of yourself, or experience yourself, as poor again!

Do you know the difference between being broke, and being poor?

If so, you are already well on your way to manifesting abundance in all areas of your life. An abundance-conscious person may find themselves temporarily broke, or with an empty bank account, but they will never feel poor. Poverty is a state of mind, just as much as prosperity is a state of mind. Poverty focuses on lack, and abundance focuses on substance.

By realizing that we are made of Substance, we realize we are ALWAYS connected to a constant, neverending stream of supply. This Substance that made us is the Substance of all the Universe, molded by Infinite Intelligence, or God. Universal Mind interpenetrates our mind and our mind interpenetrates and pervades our body. Its substance penetrates every atom of our body. We are never separate from it because WE ARE IT.

However, by focusing on lack and loss, we are holding ourselves separate from the flow of substance in our lives. The good news is that abundance is always available to us because it is the nature of the Universe, and our own nature. The mighty oak tree starts as a small acorn. The seed in the earth never worries or frets or doubts that it will grow into a magnificent tree. It knows it purpose. It trusts and unfolds according to its nature.

We can plant a small seed of a tree and see it expand and unfold into a magnificent demonstration. But if we doubt, lack trust, or lack faith, and we dig up our seed to check on its progress then we prevent its natural growth process and we are left with nothing. Then we say - see, it does not work! The tree does not grow! Not so. Our doubt, worry and anxiety have prevented it from growing. When given over to its own nature and the laws of the Universe, it grows perfectly.

So it is with ideas. We have a wonderful idea, we get excited about it, we set the wheels in motion... and when after a few days, we do not see the progress, we exclaim, "It will never happen" or "It does not work". What has really happened is that the idea was unfolding perfectly into its own magnificent demonstration, but we have dug it up to check on its progress due to lack of faith and trust. You see how faith, conviction and trust are necessary ingredients in the manifestation process?

There is never a shortage of air, no matter how many people breathe. We are not taking away our neighbour's supply of air by breathing ourselves, just as we are not taking away someone else's supply of love, health, wealth, or success, by experiencing it ourselves. There is always enough for everyone. Universal Mind knows no lack, and no limitation. There is much more money on the planet now than in any previous time in history that we know of. There is no end to the supply; only so far as the finite mind perceives an end, or lack, or loss, then of course that is what it must experience.

By changing your thoughts, you can change your point of attraction, and the level of abundance that you experience in all areas of your life -- relationships, career, health, wealth, joy, love -- will change accordingly. This Law always works!

Unicorn Message: I Am Close to You

Lady with a Unicorn by Raphael (1483 – 1520)

Today, I was drawn to Diana Cooper's Unicorn Cards. I am very close to unicorns and the energy they emit. My first book, Unicorn Magic, was written by me under direct instruction from the unicorns and angels and with a straight channel to higher consciousness. I "downloaded" entire blocks of information and just wrote down what was told to me. More and more lightworkers are now connecting to their unicorn guide and I get more questions about unicorns than about angels even! So, what exactly are unicorns?

Unicorns are seventh dimensional, ascended, etheric beings, fully of the angelic realms. They are pure thoughts or aspects of the divine, in the same way that angels are. A unicorn is also the familiar, or spirit animal, of Mother Mary. Unicorns represent Christ Consciousness. The first time they appeared on Earth was in the early days of Lemuria. Later, they were also present in the Golden Age of Atlantis, when everyone was able to connect to them, just as they did to their Guardian Angel. Unfortunately as Atlantis devolved into a low frequency, the beautiful unicorns could not bring their energy down to such a low level, so they withdrew from our planet. Now that consciousness is rising again, and more and more people are aligning with the highest truth, these lightworkers are able to connect to Angels and Unicorns again, as witnessed by the growing interest and recent flood of books on Angels, Self-Help and Spirituality.

Unicorns remind us of who we truly are. While angels work through the heart, unicorns work with the soul. Their horn is actually an energy spiral or vortex emanating from their third eye. It can be compared to a magic wand, pouring out divine energy. Wherever they direct this light, healing takes place.

Today's healing message from the Unicorns says:

Closeness

Your unicorn is close to you. Allow yourself to relax into its love and trust that your wise and beautiful spiritual companion is helping you.

Affirmation: I know my unicorn is close to me.

Magnolias - Flowers of Divine Beauty, Life Force and Perfection

Magnolia
For the past few weeks, I keep thinking of the magnolia flower. It pops into my head all the time. The image is so persistent that I finally decided to find out more about what it means.

Magnolias are a striking variety of flower because the magnolia blossoms are so large. The flower is associated with nobility, perseverance, dignity and a love of nature. The magnolia tree is a symbol of magnificence because of its impressive height and enormous flowers.

The magnolia tree was named after the French botanist Pierre Magnolia in the 1600s. The flowering tree has more than 80 varieties including a striking yellow blossom, the goldfinch, or the popular white blossom, Magnolia grandiflora. The scent of the flower varies depending on which variety is used. Each color leads to a different meaning. The white magnolia flowers stand for purity and perfection. The pink magnolia flowers symbolize youth and innocence together with joy. The green magnolias represent joy coupled with health and good fortune. The purple magnolias send out vibrations that support your wishes for alignment with your truth and physical wholeness (health).

A "steel magnolia" is a popular phrase denoting the strength a Southern woman possesses. This phrase was popularized by the 1989 movie "Steel Magnolias" in which six Southern women endure various hardships but rise above them. The term refers to the delicate yet strong nature women have.

In art, specifically Chinese art, the magnolia is used as a symbol of feminine sweetness and beauty. In China, magnolia flowers are symbols of purity and nobility. In Japan, the magnolia is used as a medicinal and ornamental plant. The flower is called Hanakotoba in the Japanese system of flower symbolism. This means that the flower is sublime, natural and shows love for nature. Magnolias are associated with the life force and are often presented at births.

Today's Angel Numbers: 55 and 11

Today's date is 5. 5. 11 which in Angel Numbers gives us the 55 and the 11.

When I close my eyes, I see the 55 in green, while the 11 appears as gold.

Green is the ray and color of Archangel Raphael ("God Heals"). This Archangel encourages you to communicate and share you inner wisdom to heal with thoughts, words and creativity. Many people are worried or scared of the number 5 (even more potent as 55) because it is the number of crisis and change. It even stands out visually amongst the single-digit numbers with its unpredictability, its complexity and its points and curves. I am very fond of this number however because to me this denotes a "healing crisis" and a change which can be perplexing and disconcerting at first, but which enables us to - ultimately - grow and progress towards something even better. This is a Divine universe that is always on your side! You are always guided and protected. The number sequence of 55 is a message from your angels that it is time to break free from old restraints and constraints that have held you back in the past. It is time to "live your passion!" The 55 is telling you that big changes are ahead, if not already around you.

The number 11 is also a Master number (a single digit doubled). They are called Master Numbers because there is inherent masterful, or extraordinary promise symbolized by them. This energy is multi-dimensional. Gold (and white) are the colors of Archangel Gabriel. The words associated with this Archangel are protection, intuition, clarity and self-discipline. In order to follow your higher path, Gabriel gives you the discipline and guidance to take the first steps, followed by vision and clarity to follow that path. Sometimes your life choices can be hard but Archangel Gabriel will be with you all the way. Divine revelation is intimately tied to the number 11. This whole year is under the aspect of the number 11, which is a "portal" for higher consciousness. The two columns of the side-by-side number ones comprising the 11 symbolize a channel from higher dimensions.

The potential: Master numbers represent energy that is not of this 3-dimensional plane of existence. These numbers point towards energy that is very spiritual and therefore can be unpredictable and hard to handle. They can also be wonderful catalysts though if you accept this energy and align with it. Some great examples of known individuals with heavy Master Number energy (in various, prominent positions in the comprehensive charts) applied in a positive way include the following:

*Mick Jagger, lead singer of the Rolling Stones, arguably the most famous (and most profitable) Rock and Roll band of all time.

*Robert Plant, lead singer of Led Zeppelin, one of the most famous Rock and Roll bands of all time.

*Bill Blass, one of the most celebrated and influential American clothing designers.

*Ray Bradbury, American writer of over 50 books and known as the a master of sci-fi and fantasy; awarded Grand Master Nebula Award and Writer's Guild Award.

*Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Scottish writer and creator of the modern detective story and the characters Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.

*Doris Duke, American Heiress, one of the wealthiest people in the U.S. in the early 1990s and a notable philanthropist.

*Sir Laurence Olivier, British actor, director, and producer; considered by many to be the greatest British actor of the 20th century.

*Meryl Streep, American actress, considered to be one of the best actors of her generation (11 Oscar nominations).

Prayers Answered, Wishes Granted

Archangel Sandalphon announcing "Victory!" in Doreen Virtue's Archangel Oracle Cards
Tonight, I woke up from a deep sleep period at around 3pm (the sleep phase which is deepest, with no dreams) by a voice internally (not my own voice though, a male one) saying loud and clear "it's done" -- in the sense of it's completed, it's finished, it's granted. Anyway, I felt supremely happy and like all was right in my world... I couldn't go back to sleep for 2 hours.

Later on in the day, I pulled the following card from Doreen Virtue's Archangel deck:

Sandalphon says: 

"Victory!" Your prayers have been heard and answered. Have faith!"

"You deserve this time of victory. Your unwavering focus and dedication have resulted in blissful manifestation. Peace and pleasant feelings are yours right now. Let your focus be on this present moment, and savour each feeling and experience fully. Know that the future is taken care of in a positive way, as you allow yourself to enjoy the present moment. Feel good about who you are, and know that your success benefits others."

How perfect is that!
