Communication from Raphaelle:
Finally: Information about Michael's Latest Aug. 10 "Heart Adjustment"
August 14, 2011
Greetings to One and All,
Hello there. It has been only seven days since I sent out our August 2011 Seraphim newsletter. To me, that seems like a long stretch of time at this point, whew. Michael and I have always taught that we have to take what life tosses our way with as much grace, strength, sincerity and love as possible. Even spiritual teachers are given challenges and hurtles in which they are asked to use for the purpose of their own spiritual growth and the growth of their students. Michael and I are no different. As I write this letter, I have my laptop sitting on Michael's food table beside his hospital bed. He is sitting across from me in a chair and smiling and teasing me as I am trying to communicate with you. He also asked me to send his love and greetings to you all. He wants to say to you, "Remember, the body gets great "press coverage" but it is really the spirit that matters."
So, from the get-go, you know this story will have a pretty good ending. I ask that you read this entire letter so you can be fully informed, then you will have a better chance at having a positive response - whatever that may be for you. Also, if someone asks YOU about it, then you will have accurate information, from the "horse's mouth" so to speak.
I know many of you have heard that something is going on with Michael, so it is my goal in this letter and announcement to let you know exactly what that is and to quell any weird rumors that might start going around if we stay silent for too long (like what happened last time.) As you know, Michael and I also appreciate SOME privacy as well as a desire that our students and friends practice with us the tools we have taught many of you all these years, particularly, the ones in regard to respecting (everyone's) including our space and stay grounded around our challenges. If there is truly a great, gold-filled space for us to go through this, the healing can happen MUCH faster. We will make it through this, and already ARE coming through quite well, thanks to all the help we have already had on this journey. We have been, as before, very particular about who actually "works" directly on Michael, energetically speaking, and at some point in time, some of you may also be called to join in on some of that healing work. Michael is an amazing healer himself (and I'm not so bad either, I'm told) - so right there, we are already "team working" what he will need in terms of energy work.
So please do not put our names into healing or prayer circles unless you ask and get our permission. I already have some healers and groups doing work on him. A special thank you to EVERYONE who has been there for me/us when I called you - wow, your healings and prayers were amazing and helped SO much. For those who are wonderful healers that I did not call, it does not mean you are not "good enough" to help us - this was an emergency situation and I called who I was guided to call for this. Remember, it's difficult to function under some circumstances and I did the very best I could. You may be called to help later if we need it as there will be "recovery time" involved.
Also, we would GREATLY appreciate it if you don't send us dietary, medical, supplemental, exercise, or other physical-healing information or product recommendations, especially. The same goes for unsolicited reading info (ask me, first, if you're "bursting" to tell us some psychic impression, but don't just email me with the information. Ask me first if I would like it. If I/we say "no" for now, please try to respect that.) I thank you with all my heart for respecting us enough to follow these requests. Remember, we have been in this field a long time and Michael has been on his own particular physical challenge/healing for five years. His cardiologist still says he is not sure why Michael is having this problem except maybe for the fact that it runs in his genetic line. Michael exercises daily but not too much, he is at a perfect weight and he eats an utterly pristine, balanced heart-healthy diet. Also, he has "walk on water" cholesterol readings He takes all the supplements that he is told to by his regular doc to take and has been blood-tested regularly. However, you have to remember, Michael and I are spiritual beings living in this physical universe, including having these delicate physical bodies, just like you are and have, which means we can be as "prone" to sometimes having physical challenges as much as anyone is. If this upsets you, for those who know what this means, "Blow your pictures, please" and let it go. Or another way of saying this, is, use what you are witnessing as yet "another forgiveness exercise" and forgive the universe (or us) for having to experience something like this. This "letting go of the tragedy of it all" or "forgiving the universe the way it is in general" allows us AND YOU the space to grow from this experience in more ways than you know.
Also, I know some of you won't want to hear this, but we will not be here "forever" because we have bodies, just like you, so why not practice being "okay" or at least be "neutral" as we teach, with this NOW? Then when it is time for you to face a challenge like this, yourself, - hopefully not until far down your road or path in THIS lifetime - then you will hopefully have learned from our teaching and example NOT to let it rock your the world you have created for yourself so badly.
I am only giving this personal information so you can see that this announcement is not a call for healing but one to let you know what is going on with Michael (explained in the next paragraphs) as well as in regards to our events, especially the ones some of you have already paid for.
So here's the scoop on Michael: On August 10th around 1 PM while he was exercising at the local gym, Michael passed out and his heart stopped. The angels must have been watching over him, because there was an EMT exercising nearby and a defibrillator hanging on the wall. This is a little machine that can help to re-start a stopped heart. I have since learned that some gyms are required to have these. We do not know who this EMT was, but will find out (after all we live in a small town.) After reviving Michael, an ambulance was called and Michael was taken to the local hospital. Since he was in such critical condition, he was prepared to be transported to a larger hospital in a larger town 65 miles away. He was flown by helicopter to that location where it was determined, after the standard procedures, that he needed triple bypass surgery to save his life.
Again, the angels must have been watching over him, because his own cardiologist handed the surgery procedure over to a renown surgeon who did the procedure without the use of a heart-lung machine, which means he will have a much faster recovery time. Michael came through the surgery with flying colors and is presently spending his last day (Aug. 14) in the hospital. He will be released on Monday (tomorrow, Aug. 15th). He has a long journey of healing ahead of him and he still tires very easily, especially mentally, as the surgery can be as hard on the brain as it can on his general overall health. The recovery period will be six weeks to three months depending on how fast he heals.
We will be driving back to Mt. Shasta sometime tomorrow (Aug. 15). If I know hospitals, they will tell us his release will be in the morning, but it is likely we won't be released until later that day. Also, it will take us some time to get groceries and get settled in, so we won't be ready for phone calls or anything that day. I know many of you will want to send get well wishes to him - he has given permission to have people send those wishes to his FaceBook sites. He says he'd love to hear from you. If you are one of those who wants to send flowers and cards instead, that's perfectly okay. Just call our friend Jaime at the "Petals" (530) 926-4474. She knows where we live (and she makes absolutely lovely bouquets and her prices are decent.) Cards (only, not flowers) can be sent to our office mailing address (this is NOT our house): Michael Tamura 404 N. Mt. Shasta Blvd. #138 Mount Shasta, CA 96067
I would like to thank you in advance for all the love and support I KNOW you want to give.
Now, for our events: Of course, as you know we had to cancel the TeleSeminars last week, as well as our Los Angeles seminar weekend coming up next weekend. We also have some events scheduled at the end of the month, but right now, I have cancelled the ads for them. For now, we will not be able to come to L.A. For those of you who have prepaid any of these events: Please know that a big medical crisis like this can be very challenging for us also in the area of administrating refunds, in more ways that one. If you absolutely need your money back for any of the current events that have been postponed, please call my assistant and she will talk to me about it before we set up your refund. I know money is tight for many of you, and it is for us, too. So I would like to propose something, here: If you have paid for an event, and you don't mind letting us hold on to your money for a bit longer, we will see if we can reschedule the events when Michael is feeling better, then just transfer your payment to that event, OR if you can wait until I can make some other arrangements to obtain the cash to give refunds, I would greatly appreciate it if you could wait at least a little while for the refund, if that becomes necessary. As it is, with Michael not working, and my having to take care of him (therefore, I won't be be able to work AS MUCH) - you know what that adds up to for us. However, we do intend on coming back "online" to work as soon as Michael is ready to do so.
Also, once I have Michael settled in for his rest and recuperation time, I will make myself available for the readings, especially the ones I recently had to cancel.
For those who had readings scheduled with Michael last weekend, we'll have to see if he will be up to giving readings after his minimum six weeks recuperation time. If you cannot wait that long and want your money back, you can call our office and we will make arrangements for paying you back what you have paid. If Michael decides to no longer do readings (again) then we promise to find a way to refund your money as quickly as we can.
We would like to thank you ahead of time for your patience with us in all regards, especially those of you who wish to have refunds. This will take a little time, so I hope you can bear with us.
The good news about all this is, the doctors think this procedure he went through will help him to have a stronger, better heart in the long run and hopefully he'll have a very healthy and long life ahead of him. I thank you all again for all you are to us, as I have always said in the conclusion of my newsletters.
I will let you all know the moment we decide to start up our work again, including our seminars, workshops and TeleSeminars. For those signing up for the SHAPE retreat in October, we're not yet canceling that event yet, as it MAY be possible for Michael to give that one. If you are interested in joining us for that event and haven't signed up for it, please call our office at (530) 926-2650 ad go ahead and pay to reserve your spot.
Thanks also for all your prayers, love, support and other methods of appreciation you have given us over the years. I'll keep you posted either via newsletter, and each day via FaceBook. So if you have not "Friended" us on FaceBook or "Liked" Michael's public FaceBook site, now is the time to, so you can keep in more daily touch with us. Thanks again, everyone.
With Much Love & Many Blessings, Raphaelle Tamura P.S. I will leave the latter schedule we have planned (in the months to come) on this letter so you can check it out and think about attending. We will let you know IMMEDIATELY when we know Michael is good and ready to come back to work. I know some of you are concerned he will want to come back "too early." Not to worry, surgery is a whole different type of healing and forces one to stop until one is truly ready, if you know what I mean. I'm sure those of you who have had surgery ESPECIALLY know what I mean. Thanks and we love you all.
