Every three minutes there is a new diagnosis of invasive breast cancer.

Every 13 minutes someone dies from breast cancer.

More than 180,000 people, women and men, will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the US this year alone.

This has got to stop!

It’s time for all of us to step up, and do what ever we can to end breast cancer.

This whole train of thought was started a couple of days ago, when I got an e-mail from a dear friend by the name of Andrea Berman. We’ve been friends since college, and she’s a very cool person and a geek to boot. Andrea sent me an e-mail because she has committed to participate in this year’s Avon Walk for Breast  Cancer. She’s going to walk close to 40 miles in a weekend. It’s up to us to support her with our donations.

Please go to her Avon Walk for Breast Cancer personal site and donate whatever you can right now.

But there is more than not that we can do, as connected people on the Internet, we can blog and tweaked and Facebook and stumble and digg and whatever else you can think of to make sure that every one we are connected to knows about this challenge, and the commitment that we are making to help solve it.

Just to provide a little extra incentive, if you make a donation of any amount, and let me know in the comments of this post that you’ve done it, I’ll send you a link to a special meditation video that I’ve created. This 12 minute video uses my Binaural Journeys technology combining binaural beats, binaural drumming, natural sound and music to guide you effortlessly into a state of creative relaxation. The visuals in this program are amazing photographs of spectacular tropical flowers. As the imagery takes you into the miniature world of the flower, the binaural audio track guides you into yourself.

Just remember, the only way to get this video is to make a donation through Andrea’s page, and then let me know about it in the comments here. Of course, this is on the honor system, and there is no need to say how much you’ve given, what’s important is that every one of us give.

I was first introduced to the term “Inner Physician” through the work of Dr. John Upledger, creator of CranioSacral Therapy. this is an extremely gentle form of manual therapy, where the therapist uses his or her hands to listen to the patient’s body. From my perspective, as someone who has received a significant amount of this work, and read a number of Dr. Upledger’s books, in many ways what the therapist is “listening” for is this Inner Physician.

The Inner Physician is part of each of us, deep inside, that knows exactly what we need, right now, to grow and develop and heal and love and be ourselves, the most true, complete version of ourselves yet possible. Over time, I’ve come to realize that working through the body is one way, but far from the only way, of accessing and facilitating your inner physician.

It is because of this, I created a new audio program called Journey to the Spirit of Healing. Only, I didn’t really know that at the time. I’d like to share this story with you:

I love to absorb information by listening to it, so it’s not surprising that I have a subscription to audible.com, the downloadable audio book service. Audio books are one of my very favorite ways to read. I read all sorts of audio books, but one in particular started the chain of realizations and events that I am about to describe. That book is Inspired Marketing by Joe Vitale and Craig Perrine. I had been listening to this book, and mulling the idea is that it presents for a couple of days. I was inspired by the stories in the book to start some sort of an online business, I wasn’t sure what kind of business or product I wanted to create.

Enter the needles

I was listening to Inspired Marketing as I was driving to my regular acupuncture treatment.

<tangent> I love acupuncture, going regularly for treatment makes me feel better and somehow makes everything work better for me. I’m able to do this affordably because I go to the Manchester Acupuncturists Studio which is a community acupuncture clinic. Community clinics charge on a sliding scale to typically ranges from $15-$35 a treatment — whatever you feel comfortable paying. Everyone is treated in one large room, with a big circle of recliners. As you lay in a chair, the acupuncturist comes around, checks in with you briefly, and then sets your needles. And that is actually where the story continues. </tangent>

So I’m laying in my recliner, with needles sticking out of various places on my legs and arms. (No, it doesn’t hurt. Most of the time I don’t feel the needles all. Give it a try, you’ll be surprised by how comfortable it is, and how good you feel.) I’d been lying there for maybe five minutes when I was struck with what I can only describe as an inspirational “clue — by — four.”

All of the sudden, I just knew what my product was. I knew I needed to create an audio program called Journey to the Spirit of Healing which would combine binaural beats for brainwave synchronization, binaural drumming and self hypnosis/guided meditation. I knew what needed to happen in the journey, what the structure of it would be. I was inspired. I was so excited that my first thought was to ask the acupuncturist to take my needles out so I could go home and start working on it right away, I decided it was better for me to ask someone to write the idea down for me and then let the treatment finish working. Afterwards, I went home and immediately recorded the program. By noon next day, it was done, but I had no idea of how to sell it online.

So I began to study, and after a lot of work, and a lot of help from Pat O’Bryan and all of my colleagues in his Portable Empire Coaching Program, I am pleased to announce the launch of my Journey to the Spirit of Healing at http://www.journeytothespiritofhealing.com.

I am so excited about sharing this product, and getting it launched, I wanted to do something really special. So for the first 30 people who buy my downloadable audio program I’m going to offer a very special bonus. Each of those first 30 people will have a 20 minute phone call with me to develop a set of personal affirmations, just for them. I will then create a custom audio program, a customized Journey of Affirmation based on their personal set of affirmations. Each of them will receive their own, unique, Binaural Journey. Of course, this takes a lot of time to do, so I really can only offer it to the first 30 people to order.

So take a look at http://www.journeyedtothespiritofhealing.com, and if you feel moved to do so, order the program and get your own custom Journey of Affirmation.

I am really excited to hear about your results with this amazing tool that I was inspired to offer.
