One of the most gratifying aspects of my work, is hearing from clients and students about the way they have incorporated the principles of Core Wisdom into their lives in really miraculous ways. There are two main themes that people share with me about the way they have utilized the principles and methods of Core Wisdom: (1) the new possibilities that they have manifested personally and professionally, and (2) the energy blocks that they have dissolved that had previously limited their freedom to fully experience life. In this latter category, the blocks may take many forms, such as limiting or negative mental, emotional or physical patterns of reactive conditioning.
A few days ago, I received an email from a woman I'll call Ann, who had completed a year of the Core Wisdom Mastery Class this past May, and is now spending a few months in Italy. She wrote to share with me that she had dissolved a reactive pattern that caused her physical distress for years, and had done so by being true to the principles she had learned and made her own. Her message is an inspiring example of what is possible when we live as a creator, express the power of our intention, and know the malleability of reality. I am passing it along to you so that you also have the chance to appreciate what she accomplished, and to be as inspired by her as I was. As you will see, what happened is far outside of what most people believe is possible. Enjoy!

Hi Hal,
I thought you'd like to hear this story from my trip in Italy.
Before I left for my trip, I heard from my friend in Florence that he was offering up his house for my use while he was out of town. The only condition was that I take care of his cat. I said yes, of course, knowing full well that I was terribly allergic to cats. I decided at that point that it was time to get over the allergies. I was not going to let them stop me from taking advantage of such a generous offer.
The morning I was due to arrive at the house in Florence, I became violently ill with a respiratory infection and was vomiting. I diligently went over to his house and carried on about my business. That night I slept in what appeared to be the cat's private room, complete with scratching post and hairy bedspread. It was my allergy nightmare come true. I ended up spending half the night sitting up because ... it was impossible to breath while lying down. I seriously thought I was going to have to be driven to the hospital. At that point, I decided that I wasn't going to let a cute little cat determine how I was going to spend my time in Florence. I decided that this reaction was the allergy cure working itself out. I figured out a breathing strategy that night and seemed to have gotten over the worst of it by morning. Whatever illness I had contracted lasted until the end of the week.
That weekend I went on a short trip to the lake region and by the time I returned to Florence, the only reaction I had to the cat was a few sneezes now and then. Today as I type this, I don't even have that reaction. I pet a cat for the first time in 14 years without any allergic reaction what so ever.
To add a little humor to the whole situation, this cat is the friendliest cat I've every met. He always wants to sit with me, rub against me and sleep in the bed with me. Up until a week ago I never would have let a cat get close enough to touch me for fear of the inevitable allergic reaction. Today he is sitting on the desk with me as I type this.
This is one of those things that feels like a miracle, but is clearly something I created and dissolved. It doesn't even matter where it came from. It's gone now and I'm glad.
I hope you enjoyed the story. I love the fact that it's such a clear example of something that appears to be fixed, but in fact is not [it was dissolved].
Take care. Ciao.
Ann
