maren in the sky

Heaven

Dear friends, I’d like to share something from the heart with you:  after going through an immensely difficult period for several years that culminated in nearly dying and survival, followed by an ongoing awakening, mystical light poetry started flowing through.

This happened as a direct result of a spontaneous deep inner vow when in hospital, surrounded by AIDS and cancer patients while getting daily IV hydration, dealing with the physical after effects of a rare genetic illness. The vow that sprung forth entirely without any personal doing was to share even more light than I had done for many years as a dedicated world-wide flight attendant, loving every second of serving my passengers and fellow crew. There was absolutely no preference what form it would take to stay true to this vow, yet when the poetry started flowing, inner instructions followed that I abide by that led to the publication of my first volume called “Spun Gold~Poetic Reflections of Pure Luminosity.” In it, I mention living with a feeding tube in one sentence in the foreword to break the quite considerable glass ceiling around illness in spiritual circles; the rest is a jubilant celebration of life itself.

This summer and fall, as so many, we found ourselves in an intensely difficult job- related situation that I am not at liberty to share (think witness protection program:) while still dealing with physical disability and a lot of trauma after, amongst several others, a very dear friend of 22 years died after a struggle with brain tumors. I was not ready for more stress and trauma that was to come in abundance, landed in hospital again after a very exhausting cross-country move and the constant, silent peace slowly began eluding me and really threw me off balance. Luckily, besides a strong angelic team of guides on the inner planes, also human angels showed up when I was at my wit’s end and graciously helped out. A couple of longtime friends I had not personally met before moving to the West Coast came to the rescue and I will be forever grateful for their gracious assistance, equally for the new friendship with a such a beautiful soul who also unexpectedly came to my rescue with a much needed message that was spot on and her angelic presence.

Enter Braco.

One day, the first formidable friend picked me up at our home for a treatment at her home and wore a beautiful golden necklace shaped like the sun. If I remember right, this was after she strongly urged me in an email to check out a guy named Braco, which I didn’t feel immediately guided to as just too exhausted and stressed. Intrigued by the energetic power and also beauty of my friend’s pendant, she shared her dear husband had bought it for her at an event of Braco’s in San Francisco ( how these two successful Hay House authors both came to attend said event is most miraculous in itself but not for me to tell.)

Next thing I knew, a DVD about Braco arrived in the mail from my friend; she later said she doesn’t quite know herself why she felt she needed to mail it immediately, even though we just live a few minutes apart and would see each other again soon, but followed her inner guidance beautifully. Once I looked the first time at www.awakeningwithin.us and bracoamerica.com, it felt like a lightening bolt hit me, instantly all stress and trauma vanished and only pure, infinite Light prevailed once again. I ordered the magical book “21 days with Braco” by dear Angelika Whitecliff that delights to no end with its honest account , filled with innocent wonder and a most authentic sharing of her transformation (and this stunningly beautiful angel has travelled the world and was very awake already prior to the events that happened after she accepted Braco’s invitation) and I watched my friend’s DVD about Braco’s visit to Hawai’i. The feel good factor never ceased to amaze, awash with new energy, I ordered the “Golden Bridge” DVD as well and listened up. And listened again, daily.

I had hardly ever had the wish to see a movie more than once, not to even speak of a documentary (with rare exceptions, like my dear friend Peter Francis Dziuban’s material) and was most amazed. I mostly only watched TV to make my husband a joy, had never watched during the daytime and was generally just a fan of stillness, writing, listening to music, nature and communication with friends, and would take a meeting or phone call with a beloved friend or family any day over watching something on television. Within 24 hours, Braco was highly recommended again by a new friend in Vancouver as well and next thing my husband and me, who, like everyone, need to watch our finances and usually deliberate quite a bit before booking anything, sat down and did exactly the opposite. Not only were the flights and hotel to Portland expensive, also was I advised to avoid flying for several reasons with my condition as flying these days tended to end at the ER.

During the days building up to our trip to the City of Roses, I felt a child- like anticipation, received another email recommending Braco from dear Nirmala and then 11-11-11 came and I gazed via live stream for the first time with Braco. A feeling of always having known this pure presence washed over me and I just started beaming brightly right back at dear Braco, filled with pure gratitude and the biggest smile.

While packing in between 3 live stream gazings on that glorious day, I was getting more and more excited and filled with vibrant energy. During the flight, (bumpy and very stormy, yet felt fine and did for once not end up at the ER) I felt to my absolute amazement after a very full journey already as if my whole life up to this day was to prepare me just for this, a feeling that didn’t “fit” with anything I’d ever known.

It’s hard to find adequate words to describe the feeling, but I guess where there was a seeming need arising within our collective One Heart, it was answered perfectly within that same One Heart through a crystal clear mirror who dedicated his life to letting the Divine work through him.

The shuttle bus to the hotel was filled with equally joyous Braco attendees as well as one of the three lovely producers, Karl Fink, a man whose picture I had never seen, yet whose name was instantly given via the third eye. Saturated palpably by the field we were all in, I wouldn’t have been surprised by that little airport bus levitating, so strongly was Zero Point energy felt, infinite possibilities open in all directions, immense peace and bliss as well as boundless gratitude. Deep sleep filled with lucid dreams followed for the first time in ages and when we entered the event room the next day, we entered heaven.

Every single volunteer was so lighthearted, loving, compassionate and fun like I had never experienced at any satsang, and the other two producers at this Portland event, Karl’s wife Jane Sibett, a gorgeous Hollywood actress who had been on “Friends” and many other shows ( that one was a first, too, as the Hollywood stars I had met as a flight attendant on my LA flights at times had airs about them, but not this bright angel), was not just incredibly beautiful inside out but also completely natural and down-to-earth, filled with love and wit as was the equally lovely, incredibly energetic powerhouse Megan MacArthur. Big Thanks to all three as well as to the many volunteering angels for organizing this event in such a dedicated manner that it all felt effortless, yet was elegantly perfect in every way!

After a heartfelt introduction by Jane, some genuinely touching testimonials were played with beautiful music (and I can humanly be very picky in my preferences!) and then came Braco.

Enough has been written elsewhere about this humble, pure spirit from Croatia who defies all descriptions or categories, just see for yourself if his energy resonates; I simply feel guided to share with you from my heart what I felt.

(Braco does not speak or advertise, neither does he accept any money for his service to humanity, there is no dogma, religion, belief system around his loving gift.)

-total, absolute resonance, a feeling of having come home

-absolute peace and bliss

-clearing of all seeming inner obstacles, relaxed openness to the highest of infinite possibilities fulfilling themselves with ease and joy

-recognition of this beautiful soul from Atlantis

-over-pouring gratitude

- heat and strong vibrating energy around the diseased area of my body, like a laser beam hitting and dissolving blocks

-the most powerful, purely loving energy I had ever encountered (and I have met dear Byron Katie, Gangaji, Adyashanti, Jackie O’Keeffe, Marianne Williamson, Dr. David Hawkins and several others quite close up who radiated such pure love and peace as well), yet Braco’s presence topped everything previously known, his energy felt like a direct conduit of the Divine, bringing one home to oneSelf.

I was told by several people ahead of time that reading dear Angelika’s book, watching any of the amazing DVD’s, wearing a piece of the stunning sun jewelry or listening to a recording of Braco’s voice that is played at his center in Zagreb in his absence for the hundreds of thousands of people coming to him for help yearly (and is also to be found on two of his DVD’s) would have a wonderful energetic symbiotic effect, which, many years ago, I would have found a clever marketing technique before living from the heart started.

Yet even this is totally outside the box-reading just a few pages of Angelika’s gorgeous book, watching any of the fantastic DVDs produced with so much love and dedication or surfing the lovely Braco sites a bit does indeed have a strong energetic effect here, an instant uplift and energetic boost that always leads right to the highest choice in any given moment.

A feeling pervades that dear Angelika expresses perfectly in her wondrous book on page 243: “A transformation had taken place so completely in me that I no longer had the need to prepare, or control all the factors I could think of in advance. It was as if I no longer needed to know the end of the story first, I was ready to enjoy the journey as it came.”

Each gazing session, mirroring Infinity so beautifully, was unlike the one before, each a fresh, clean slate, for the first time ever, leaving one bereft only of any baggage one had brought. Intensely present, a golden aura around dear Braco was observed by myself and many others–at times, he seemed to disappear into just a fabric of sheer light encompassing everyOne in a field of pure, heavenly Love. Words fail completely to describe Braco’s incredible gift, yet it can be felt by all who wish to do so.

The attendees were also the most loving, amazing, down-to-earth souls whose lives continue to touch mine deeply, the same feeling of always having known this group of souls kept persisting and I am looking forward to Tuesday’s live stream gazing from San Diego and meeting everyone again. As a side note, I was incredibly touched by the three producers’ generosity of spirit, passing “Spun Gold” on to dear Braco and relaying such lovely feedback back from him, which was very unexpected as everyone worked conscientiously non-stop to help every single soul. Thank you from all my heart for the best weekend ever, dear Braco and team of angels!
