SONDRA RAY on ICELAND

and the

Liberation Breathing® Intensive

We have just had the good fortune to be in the Blue Lagoon in Iceland with our group (21 in total). We came ourselves for nine days. Five of these days we spent hours and hours wet rebirthing in the Blue Lagoon for our Liberation Breathing® Training.

I can not say enough about this magnificent experience, and the highlight for me was to watch how much change and movement people made from the day they showed up to the day they left. People say true change is really hard and people rarely really change. So naturally as a spiritual teacher, I am more than excited to see it happen before my very eyes.

I came to the Blue Lagoon orginally about 25 years ago with Don McFarland (founder of Body Harmony). We came together as an experiment, as I had heard that a man who had psoriasis for many years and could not heal himself, went and stuck his arm in the Blue Lagoon and was healed. So I became determined to go there. Don and I took a group and we were all totally blown away by the power of Iceland and the results we saw among the students. I could not stop thinking about it and so when Mark and I got married I started telling him how much I wanted him to experience Iceland and the Blue Lagoon.

Last year we brought a small group, mostly from Sweden. Everyone got as excited as I was and Mark was absolutely stunned with it all. So we decided to make it an annual event called the ICELAND QUEST: Liberation Training. This year people came from as far as Chile. People came from the US. People came from Australia. People came from Estonia, People came from Serbia. People came from England. People came from the Bahamas. People came from Bali. People came from Denmark. People came from Spain. People came from alot of places. It was truly international.

Not only did people go very very deep in their own healing process, they also learned how to do a Liberation Breathing® session on one another. So every person had a new partner each day so they could practice rebirthing someone else. They found it equally powerful to be the facilitator and many committed to become LIberation Breathing ®practitioners.

In the summer it stays light nearly to midnight, so one can imagine what it must be like in the winter when it is dark most of the time except for three hours. Then you see the Northern Lights which must be amazing as we saw many photos of them around The Northern Light Inn where we stayed. The Icelandic people were so special to us. They were incredibly attractive, kind and helpful; being of course very strong people, also very clairvoyant. It was healing just to be around them

Naturally we took a day trip excursion to the Waterfalls and saw the expansiveness of Iceland itself. But as I am writing this on the plane, the man next to me (from NY) is showing me the photos on his MAC computer that he took on the glacier when he went dog sledding. It is really spectacular, so that would be something we should surely do next year. It was nice to hear so many people say they got way more than they expected from the Iceland Quest of 2012. Our hearts are immensely grateful for them and their transformations.
