Dear Friends and Awakening Souls,

Namaste. I look forward to meeting you all when I come to your country for the first time in this incarnation. Of course, I have lived in India in previous physical lives - and, I feel like I know many of you already from several of those lifetimes. It will be like a reunion for many of us, I am sure.

From the time I was a little child, I have been teaching and healing people (and sometimes others of God’s beautiful creatures). I remember when I was about 5 years old, growing up in Tokyo, Japan, when I accidentally stepped on an earthworm and split the poor little one in two. I immediately picked up the two writhing halves and ran inside my house to try to make it well. 

I thought of people I knew who had broken their arms or legs and the doctors had put them in splints and casts. So, I decided to make a splint and cast for my little friend. I gingerly wrapped a folded up piece of tissue paper around the two halves of the worm and put tape around it to try to put the broken pieces together. Then, I found a narrow cardboard case for a ballpoint pen on my father’s desk into which I put the squirming worm, all taped up, as the “cast.” I finally poked several tiny air holes on the cover for the pen case so that the worm could breathe and put the top on securely to keep the worm in it, as still as possible.

Even though I did not grow up in a religious household, somehow I knew to pray to God to heal my worm-friend and I knew that I needed to keep it in the case undisturbed for three days. Each of those three days, I would spend some time placing my hands over the pen case which contained the earthworm and prayed for its healing. Then, on the morning of the fourth day, I carefully opened the case, lifted up the worm and unwrapped the tape and tissue “bandage.” The earthworm was whole again!

Miracles and healing have been integral aspects of my life all along. Even though miraculous healings didn’t happen every time I wanted them, I always knew within me that they were there for the asking. I felt that it was up to us to learn how to be able to receive them since God is All and there is nothing we would ever need that was not available from All.

Through my school years, I had thought I was to become a medical doctor when I grew up. Yet, when I began my university education, I suddenly realized that my idea of a medical doctor may not be what doctors were in reality. So, in order to get first hand experience before committing to eight or more years of training and a life-long career in medicine, I enrolled in an intensive one-year experimental hands-on program to become a licensed vocational nurse. My entire training was to be in the hospital and medical environment working with doctors and patients. I received my license in one year and worked in every kind of hospital and medical arena that was available to me at the time for another two and a half years. Although I enjoyed taking care of the patients, I realized that my vision for being a doctor was not what I saw being practiced anywhere. This began my search for new answers and my true path.

At twenty-one, I found my spiritual teacher who would guide and mentor me through the next almost twenty years of my life until he passed on. And, I officially began my spiritual healing, counseling and teaching path at that time. 

In 2004, while I was in the middle of a very intensive year of initiating and teaching a couple hundred of my advanced healing apprentices, I had severe on-going bouts of “traveling” gout that culminated in a near-death experience. I don’t exactly know how long I was fully in spirit, out of the body, but, I found myself in a discussion with a council of radiant and wise beings of light. The main topic of the discussion was whether I would be of greater service and benefit at this time in my earthly incarnation or as a spiritual teacher and guide working from the higher realms. I was told by these masters that as far as what I was to accomplish here on earth in this lifetime, I was more than complete. I was free to remain in spirit or return to my physical existence. It seemed that the decision was put up to a kind of vote and it was decided that should I chose to return to earth, I would be able to contribute much more to the great shift of consciousness that was under way. 

During that meeting, my guides also reminded me that it would be best if I retired from providing individual healing and reading sessions for people so that I may be able to direct more of my attention and energy toward teaching larger groups of people. They told me that the understanding and healing that I could bring to people would be much more profound in this manner. I was reassured as well that I would be receiving more help in restoring my physical health when I return. Then, in the next moment, I gasped and jerked back into my body.

Since that moment, I began to reorganize my life so that I could free myself from giving individual healing and reading sessions and direct my creative energies toward teaching larger groups, organizations, and communities of souls. Yet, it wasn’t until I experienced a heart attack two years later, and died again, that I had a good way to abruptly retire from all private healing work!

One of the many things that I have learned about myself after I had stopped giving individual healing and reading sessions to people was that the healing that many received in the larger groups that I was speaking to was even more profound than the healing I was able to provide individuals, one at a time. I realized that because we are, essentially, all one in spirit, that when we come together in a community of souls, I can make use of the energy of the whole group to facilitate more healing for everyone in it. What wouldn’t be easily accomplished individually in isolation can be realized in the multi-leveled relationships within a larger community of souls.

Out of this experience of profound healing experienced by people in the seminars that I taught, my wife, Raphaelle, and I began to occasionally conduct brief, large group healing sessions with much success. We’ve discovered that the healing experience that people had during such a group session was actually just the beginning of a whole healing process they would be undergoing over some time - at times a few days and at other times a few months. Each person’s experience is unique.

When I accepted the gracious invitation from our dear friends, Padmini and Wilja, to come to India to teach people here in Chennai, they told me that there were many of you seeking healing as well. So, together we came up with the idea of providing two profound two-hour long group healing sessions on February 24th to accommodate those of you who wish to receive spiritual healing.

For all of you who have been eager to learn to awaken more as the divine and immortal soul that you are within and to develop your clairvoyant abilities to see with the eye of spirit, on February 26-27, I will give a special two-day seminar in Chennai on Seeing The Divine, Living The Miracle: Learn to See With the Eye of Spirit. To teach this seminar, I will be drawing on my life of seeing people as radiant souls and of learning to live the divine miracle, day by day. I hope you can all join me for this extraordinary experience of spiritual learning and self-healing. Then, on Monday, March 1st, I will teach an all-day seminar designed especially for healers and those studying healing to advance themselves in their art and practice. (Please read the individual descriptions for each of these events.)

I am truly looking forward to seeing you and working with you at these events. May the brilliance of the Divine shine upon your path to guide you to your destination and may peace be with you each and every moment. 

With gratitude and love,
Michael J Tamura
