Dear Friends,
WHAT’S NEW?

This book contains the message Joel feels he was put on this earth to write about, share, and deliver. He and his wife Pei recently spoke on Finding Your Voice at Ziglar’s morning devotional and received rave reviews!
In support for a healthy relationship, prospering business, Joel is offering a library of bonus goodies when you pick up his book online November 5 and 6th.

GUEST ARTICLE
THE POWER OF SILENCE
“God is silent. Now if only man would shut up.”
~Woody Allan
As I sit down to share with you the benefits of a silent retreat and why you might want to try one, I’m met with fierce resistance to the task.
My brain pushes against clichés like: “Your thoughts fall away to reveal a deep inner calm,” or “The peace you find in a silent retreat will help you next time the stress of life becomes overwhelming.”
While these benefits may or may not be true for you – my brain tells me it’s the kind of thing people want or expect to hear, although not necessarily what will be most helpful to them.
The truth is that inner silence does not come easy.
These retreats are often physically demanding due to the long days of sitting. They can also be mentally excruciating with your mind tempting you to quit.
You will spend no small amount of time creating elaborate excuses to get you out of sitting and silence. For many days you may simply hate it.
You may or may not get to a place of constructive work with the silence. When you leave, what you gain may or may not go with you.
But I will tell you this. Silence isn’t about stopping the incessant internal dialogue. It isn’t about de-stressing from an overworked life. It isn’t a way to become a super you (though the physical effort can feel like a super human accomplishment!).
Silence is about connection with God.
Silence brings you into direct connection with infinite conscious awareness. Silence is how you make contact with your real self, your divine nature, your God-ness, if you will.
In Buddhism, silence is an essential component on the path to enlightenment. So is regularly retreating from daily life, both individually and in groups.
The key is to think less about the ego-driven accomplishments of silence and the mental goals you wish to reach, and more about re-establishing your direct connection to “The Oneness of the Universe.”
It’s about opening yourself in the moment, to The Divine. Opening yourself to receive powerful pure love, acceptance, and beauty. This is the real gift of silence; why you sit for fifteen hours a day for ten days.
To remember what it feels like to be touched by God plainly, simply, and lastingly.
When life’s challenges, obstacles, and doubts arise, this is how God shows you what you need to address in your inner and outer life in order to be able to be open enough to remember your most profound connection.
My lesson is to remember the need for regular silence in my own life. To remember to wake up each morning with a vow on my lips and a prayer in my heart to feel my God-ness and live my truth.
And to remember the real power of silence lies in my connection with The Divine every second of every day of my life.
Blessings & Love, Lisa Tully
If you’re looking for an unusual and very special spiritual adventure I recommend Lisa’s upcoming Mystics, Oracles & Shamans of Ladakh, India – March 6-19th. On this trip you’ll attend two winter festivals of the oracles, the Stok Guru Tsechu festival and Matho Nagrang Festival – as well as attending a local shamanic session with a female lay oracle (where you’ll have the opportunity for personal healing).
Lisa is your gracious tour host – her background is Irish and her travels to India first began when she was 21. Her spiritual journey began over 10 years ago and she is now a practicing Tibetan Buddhist having sought refuge with the Dalai Lama in his hometown of McLeod Ganj, India. When she is not running tours in India she spends as much time as possible there on personal retreat and attending Buddhist teachings and initiations to further her own personal practice.
