ADL Blog-Bach Flower of the Month_Mimulus-2021_01

by Rev. Shellie Enteen

By way of introduction, the first series of articles on the Bach Flower of the Month will focus on the Twelve Healers. These were the original remedies discovered in the 1920s and 30s by English physician Dr. Edward Bach as he searched for a totally noninvasive method to heal all ills—physical, mental, and emotional—a goal he had since childhood.

How I was led to The Alliance of Divine Love

ADL Blog_How I was led to The Alliance of Divine Love_Carolyn Harris

by Rev. Dr. Carolyn Harris

One day I received an invitation embossed with gold in the mail. I had been invited to join the Universal Spiritual Healer’s Association. Thinking I’d never heard of that, I set it aside.

When my husband Harry was going through the mail that evening, he said, “What’s this?”

Mine is the pristine blanket of snow
that caves in y…

Breath of a Death Doula

Breath of a Death Doula

My nature as a death doula is to provide comfort for the dying: comfort of mind, emotion, spirit, body, and breath. These are grievous times AND profound pathways for my ilk. Bearing witness from a distance, we encounter the sea of people across the globe, dying without family, friends or doulas by their side; alone without their loved ones. We are naturally inclined and trained for holding pure space, cradling bodies, synchronizing peace…
