LightWork, a Brighthill Magazine: Spring 2009

Spring 2009 — Paths to Healing
The Therapist, by Orna Ben-Shoshan About The Artist Artist Orna Ben-Shoshan conceives the images she paints through channeling. All of her paintings are completed in her mind before she transfers them onto the canvas. Her work infuses deep spiritual experience with subtle humor. Her paintings release the imagination and extend the limits of ordinary perception. Orna Ben-Shoshan has been an auto-deduct artist for the past 30 years. Her artwork was exhibited in numerous locations in the USA, Europe, and Israel. She sees her art as a medium of transferring knowledge from alternate realities, beyond linear time and thinking. Her major motivation as a visual artist is to translate the information she retrieves into a visual form, to be shared with others and perhaps expand their consciousness and inspire new ways of thinking. As she states, this is her contribution to society as an artist. To see more of her artwork, please visit: www.ben-shoshan.com During 2008, Orna has embarked on a new and challenging project: Her artwork became the theme of a new set of reading cards: "King Solomon Cards", a new and innovative divination tool which combines her metaphysical art with ancient Kabalistic symbols. The King Solomon Cards were first introduced to the public in September 2008, and were eagerly anticipated with great enthusiasm. Please visit www.k-s-cards.com to learn more.	Welcome to the Spring 2009 edition of LightWork! We are very excited to introduce the artwork of Orna Ben-Shoshan, who will be featured in LightWork each quarter. Her work really opens the heart, and it is fitting that she makes her debut in the Paths to Healing issue. There are many different healing modalities available, and this month's articles discuss a few of them. Enjoy! In addition, we want to introduce a new column, Ask the Angels.

Seasonal Recipe

Rack of Lamb

We love lamb. It's not very popular in the U.S., though, largely because it tends to be overcooked, which gives it a very gamey flavor that is too strong for the average American palate. To be good, lamb needs to be on the rare side. We like to make it with an herbed salt rub.

Power Thoughts

Old thought: I've already worked through all of my issues. I'm fine.
New thought: How can I continue to raise my vibration and increase my happiness?

Old thought: There's no hope for me. I'm too broken to be "fixed."
New thought: In truth, I am perfectly healed, right now. I claim my healing now.

Old thought: I'm not important enough to worry about healing.
New thought: I matter. God would literally be diminished without me.

To heal is to make happy.

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing—peace is the measure.
