There were some really great stories from participants of the Spiritual Journey in Bali course last week, so I thought I'd share some of them with you.

One woman told me how her 60-year old mother read my books, clutter cleared everything - including her husband! - and then put on a backpack and went off travelling in America, having the time of her life. She stayed in touch with her family and died 6 years later, a very happy and contented woman, with just a phone call to let them know she had left her will on top of her suitcase. With no fuss at all, she checked herself into hospital and died 4 days later. The daughter said her mother was such an inspiration to her!

She told another story about her brother, who was very unhappy where he lived. She got him to write a description of his ideal home and when she read it, she realized it fitted exactly the description of the top floor apartment of the family home they had inherited from their parents (now both deceased). At first he wouldn't even consider it. He said he had too many bad childhood memories to even want to visit the place, let alone live there. But she eventually persuaded him, and when he walked in, he was amazed at how beautiful the space was. Putting 2 + 2 together, the daughter realized her mother had space cleared before she left for America and had cleared out all the old history.

Another woman who came to the course told the story of how she left my book lying around her home, hoping her husband would read it. He didn't, but her 19-year old daughter did, and was immediately inspired to finish a very dysfunctional relationship she had had for a long time. She bagged up all the items belonging to her emotionally abusive boyfriend and threw them out. The mother had apparently tried in vain to get her daughter to see how bad this relationship was for her, and the book did it in just a matter of hours.

Hearing these stories really inspires me to focus even more on writing new books that I already am. It's very touching to hear how deeply people's lives are touched.
