Our Italian Experience

Sondra & Michelangelo in Milan

Sondra and I began our tour of Europe 2010 in Milan, Italy, at the Chine Club Healing Center of Michelangelo Chieche, a long time friend and colleague of Sondra's. We were often treated like royalty by his very competent staff made up by Valeria, Poala, Luigi and Gratzi. Presenting a "Miracle Consciousness" weekend, we were happy to introduce new people to A Course in Miracles and Liberation Breathing®. All of the people received the benefits of giving up their anger and especially by forgiving all their family members. Michelangelo was on hand for translations in Italian, and his synergy with Sondra's in the seminar matched very well, and the language barrier was easily overcome.

It was a happy event, as many come to Michelangelo's center to heal themselves through reflexology and rebirthing, as well as through dietary changes and colon therapy. The center is like a home, and the people feel very nurtured by the Chine Club staff, as though the living room is the center for real healing, and hospitality the main medicine. We were very impressed......again, as Sondra has been coming here for many years to teach the people rebirthing and the Loving Relationships Training. We are treated like family and made to feel like honored guests. Michelangelo, a Babaji devotee and healing arts therapist of Muniraj, takes a group to India every year, like Sondra, to visit Babaji's ashram in Herakahn, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Dedicated to his spiritual awakening, a teacher in his own right, Michelangelo helps many to overcome their limitations and break out of old debilitating patterns of thought and behavior. We were very happy to start our European tour in Milan.

The group breathing session was the first time many experienced the power of their breath to clear them of past emotional trauma. There was much catharsis in the room, and the assistants were well trained by Michelangelo to help people through their difficult moments, and breath out the charge of fear or grief still stuck in their minds and bodies. The Divine Mother was very present to help, and many felt Babaji as well.

Paola is the office star who keeps the center running smoothly throughout the year. Micelangelo travels around the world with Valeria, his partner, teaching his methods of reflexology and diet, as well as rebirthing. We got to know Poala better this year, and she won our hearts over when we saw how giving she is to the people, and how essential is her role in the office. She keeps the programs organized in a most professional way. We are always happy to be in Milan, especially this year as our first stop.

Rome Was a Blend of Work,

Hospitality, the Vatican

and Shopping!

We took the train from Milan to Rome, and were met by our organizer and rebirther, Enza Carifi, with one of her assistants, Fiammetta Cerulli, at the Rome Central Station. It was a good week of hospitality and work, as we stayed with Enza in her newly renovated apartment. The meals were delightful every night, and we played Elvis and danced in the kitchen with her friends.

Sondra, Gabriella, Silvia, and Enza in Rome

We worked the weekend in Rome with an LRT, and many people were surprised and uplifted by getting free of negative, repetitive family patterns. We had not been to Rome for two years, so it was great connecting with old friends. We had the opportunity to see the Vatican as well, which took a whole day. Honestly, we felt that experience was very tiring and heavy, walking through a very patriarchal view of spirituality. The art work in the Vatican's vast collection often elevates suffering as holy, which is so unnecessary, and off, as far as we were concerned. We felt like we had "visual indigestion" afterwards. But we were glad to have seen the Vatican....and it was not long before we were restored by an exciting Roman shopping experience.

Sondra in St. Peter's Square

At the Spanish Steps many people congregate and come to stroll along the streets where many Italian designers have their shops. One day took us to this area, and we experienced more of Rome's flavor that is so friendly to pedestrians.

We stopped to rest our feet in one of the many cafes, and were serenaded by an accordian player in our midst. The highlight for us was of course the LRT and the breath sessions, but it was a great asset to be in the vibrant and alive atmosphere of Rome, walking the streets and seeing the city. In one of the restored Hotels where we also stopped to relax, we were impressed by the architecture and artwork that was so beautiful....and prevalent everywhere it seemed.

A big thank you goes to Enza and all of her friends, including Dr. Osvaldo Sponzilli, for making our stay in Rome very rich and relaxing, and productive as well. It was great to bring the Loving Relationships Training back there...and many people commented on how much benefit they received from the wisdom being shared.

We are looking forward to our return to Rome on the next European tour, so we can continue to extend the good work of Liberation Breathing®. Bole Baba Ki Jai!

Love,
