Book Celebration Event - YOU ARE INVITED!!
You are invited to join us in celebrating the release of The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual in Seattle at Ravenna Third Place Books, 6504 20th Ave NE, Seattle,
on Wednesday November 16th at 7 pm.

http://sevenfoldhealing.com. See below in bold for Guided Exercises CD coming soon!

The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual: Just the Stories [abridged audio book read by Timothy J. Malone]
Put this audio book on your CD or MP3 player, kick back, and let the stories take you on a journey through the landscape of healing. Ideal for use while in the bath, walking or resting in nature, or attending your practitioner's healing studio. Expected in November.

The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual, Audio Guide to the Exercises [audio book created in collaboration with Timothy J. Malone]
If you are a self-healer or practitioner, you can put this audio book on your CD or MP3 player, relax, and allow it to support and enhance your healing practice in real time. If you are chronically ill and have not yet developed the energy or skills to guide yourself, or you are a practitioner new to sevenfold healing, this audio book can acquaint you with the twenty-six meditative healing exercises and support the development of your inner guide to sevenfold healing. Coming soon.The Sevenfold Healing Creative Team will be available to sign books, answer questions, and schedule bodywork treatments.

The Sevenfold Healing System for relief, wellbeing, and recovery in chronic illness is ready to use and to share with friends, loved ones, and clients through The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual, our new bedside companion, reference book, and wisdom text for integrative and comprehensive self-guided healing transformation. Because it enables the sick to access medical lineages ranging from Allopathy to Daoism; to integrate fragmented and disparate sources of care; and to heal all levels of the body from the flesh to interbeing, the Manual offers readers the chance to join in the revitalization and resacralization of modern global medicine. The Manual includes healing anecdotes with commentaries, working questions, and meditative practices.

Currently it is available on paperback via CreateSpace and as an eBook via Kindle and Kindle App. Paperback version includes original cover art by Coastal Salish artists Dylan Thomas and lessLIE. For more, see our website or continue to the holiday gift list below.

A poem, New Music Projects & links to a sweet Autumn

Greetings ...
as Autumn colors our world! A poem for you to ponder:

An Ode to the (not-so welcomed) change of seasons

The NW rain brings forth delicious shades
of green
& myriad mushrooms supporting;
where before sweet sunshine warmed our insides,
bringing forth lemonade smiles
the grasses began turning brown, dry ground.


A return to balance
need not bring frowns,
nor the nights, sighs.

Let Autumn be our guide,
a companion bringing nothing short of
LIFE:
drink lush, painted foliage and skies.

C. 2011 Timothy J. Malone


postscript:
I remind myself today as the clouds and wind swept in:
Ah, accepting "what it is"
in the turn of the season
can be excellent spiritual practice ...
not necessarily welcomed
though most growthful, indeed!


THIS WEEK an update on CURRENT MUSIC & AUDIO PROJECTS ...

A new beginning ... renewed commitment. Join me!

This week marks the 10th anniversary of my return from a one-year pilgrimage journey across five countries in Asia.

Inspired by this timing and invited to write a book on Pilgrimage as a Healing journey by a local author and doctor for the Sevenfold healing paradigm I am renewing my commitment to utilize this blog as a space to share writings in process as well as fresh poetry and essays which emerge from travels, both outer and inner.
First is the info I sent to the website for this Health Manual. You can buy this book soon via the website and in the next 6 weeks you can download the audio book version which I have been gratefully asked to voice ... may this be for the benefit of all !

** Timothy Malone serves the Creative team of SevenfoldHealing.com as RetreatMaster, meditation instructor/mentor, voice of the audio book, and will offer music and writing to the website experience.
The Seven levels of integration which this process engenders speaks to me as a comprehensive and liberating modality. I come to the team as a facilitator of deep awareness, a kind of contemplative state from which to open to healing on all levels. Entering into a state in which we can heal ourselves is often challenging to do all by ourselves. To access this space of healing we may find great benefit from having a companion or a voice of support which leads us gently into that deeper state. In twenty years of study, teaching and spiritual practice I have been gratefully led to cultivate a number of ways to support the process of growth and wholeness, including guided meditations, music, and 1:1 “spiritual disciplines” Coaching.

Visit www.timmalone.org for more info, to email or set up an appointment.
Tim lives in a hermitage near the Puget Sound writing Songs & poetry and serves as spiritual director with the Spiritual Exercises program (SEEL). Visit www.seelpugetsound.org


Where do we find community to heal?
An Open minded and Open hearted Spiritual community which honors all traditions and which I co-preside the HeartSongs ceremony 5 times a year and teach other classes on Spiritual Integration and Meditation/Prayer styles. The red cedar circle also meets here weekly. www.interfaithcommunitychurch.org
