~ My Journey to Brazil ~
My visit to
Brazil and particularly to Abadiania, where the Casa of John
of God is located, was life changing for me. As the days go by
since my return I realize I am only now beginning to process
and embody some of what I received.
The most comforting and heartening aspect of the community at Abadiania is that the whole system of healing that works there is so totally accepted as operating under the guidance, and direction of the Spirits that abide there. This is not questioned. It is the world that most of us are becoming more and more aware of and the world that is not yet generally accepted in the world that we encounter on a day to day basis. Yet, in Abadiania, because of the abilities of "Medium Joao" as John of God prefers to be called, this contact through the veil is very advanced, clear and thoroughly effective. To me it was like visiting the future. I am excited to know that such a place exists and operates so well, calling so many through its doors each day. Thousands of people pass through each week. None are turned away and no one is charged a fee. Medium Joao has dedicated his life to the healing of others. He is truly an inspiration. As these people pass through and then return to different parts of the world it is one of the ways that the light is being spread and supported as the world in general goes through this shift of the ages. One long street of Abadiania leads to the Casa. This street has many Pousadas where guests stay. In general the owners of the Pousadas are in tune with the Casa and so there is an air of being in an extended space and being thoroughly taken care of. When one goes out to have coffee (Brazilian coffee - yum!) there is a real sense of community, like village life was like when some of us were young! The most heart opening aspect of the whole journey for me was that through many of these casual conversations one learned that the person you were talking to was 'dying' according to western medicine. Yet, in Abadiania, because the veils between dimensions are so fine 'death' takes on a totally different guise. There is a deepening and an opening and acceptance that happens here. There was very little sign of despair even in the face of pain. To me this place it is a sphere where the inner world is manifest through the outer one, and the peace and protection of the Divine is so palpable. It is a place where hope, love and healing are living realities. Each person has their own intensely personal journey and their own healing. There were many, many stories of wonderful healings. If you would like to know more about John of God and the Casa de Dom Inacio (The House of Ignatius of Loyola) I would recommend a book I read while there. It is written and illustrated by two of the women that work closely with Medium Joao. It is entitled John of God - The Brazilian Healer Who's Touched the Lives of Millions, written by Heather Cumming and Karen Leffler. If you would like to take the adventure further there is another book called And Life Goes On, written by Chico Xavier. Chico passed in 2002. He is now one of the 'Entities' who works through Medium Joao. I was amazed to realize how many incredible books he wrote through automatic writing, most not yet translated into English. And Life Goes On is a book that gives an account of the afterlife state and truly how life goes on after death. It is an 'awakening' read to say the least!
Here are some good websites that give details about traveling to the Casa and the work that takes place there - I would recommend going with an approved guide as there are many details to navigate. Guides are listed on these sites. Heather Cumming who wrote the book is a guide. Her website is http://www.healingquests.com/

I would also recommend having your own room, as a personal space is really needed for the level of healing one engages in. Over and over I heard and read "We receive what we ask for" - I am aware that 'God', the 'Great Spirit', the 'Great Mystery' whatever name we chose to call the Source of all Life answers our requests always. No request from the heart goes unheard. How we receive it depends on many things, but prayers are always answered in the best way possible for our growth and development, and that may be different than what we think we need through our own limited perception. Know that all the names that I brought with me were prayed over and offered into the wooden Triangle that hangs on the wall on the Great Hall. All these requests are gone through by Medium Joao. All the prayers have already been heard and so I would encourage us all to open to receive the healing in whatever way it is now coming through. Opening to receive is the 'other half' of prayer. I want to thank all of you who traveled in Spirit with me. Your support was certainly felt and appreciated. Deepest Blessings of Peace, Healing and Love Áine - Jagriti |
