I have become a Medium/guide to the Casa Spring 2006 and bought a Crystal Bed Nov. 2005. I bought the crystal bed to help others experience the amazing "miracles" that I experienced 6 trips meditating 16 weeks with the Entities.

I asked the Entity to help me know God in every way, to kinesthetically sense God, to feel divinely loved, to hear, see, be moved by, do automatic writing, intuit God without a doubt exactly. His deep voice that day answered, "Exalto?", "Sim, exalto," I replied. And like all the other questions, this one was answered exactly.

I was given a class on myself, told to teach it and to write a book on it. The impact of this connection with God, with Christ, with the Entities was my falling in love, devoting my life and following Thy Will with total gratitude. My whole motivation for all I do changed from worldly reasons to love God. I did my best to follow guidance the last fifty years but I never expected this could happen to me.

So I bought the crystal bed both because of guidance and because nothing as wonderful as this connection being in love with God has happened to me before. I find that the bed helps people connect to Spirit in a tangible way and as one client described "tenderizes" us opening our hearts. The class I am teaching is called, Embracing God, Healing Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually through Love.
Anyone can attend by calling USA mountain time 5:30pm 1 641 207-7245 code 303303# on Thurs. see my website www.holistictherapiesinc.com. (suggested donation $30 each class Sept 14 through Jan.) I offer a free channelled guided meditation with Marcus Vianna's music played at the Casa at 7-8 pm mountain time on Thurs. I dedicate this meditation to world love, to us loving ourselves, each other as brothers and sisters, and to loving all life on earth. I have never felt so much love as with the Entities meditating. I feel this divine love constantly moving me to tears with this meditation opening my heart. I hope this helps all of us in this way. Soon I hope to have this be available weekly on ipods.

Blessings to all and my million thanks to Joao for his serving the Entities and helping me serve also. With love, Deepika

I went to the Casa July 2005. From the very first moments being in Brazil I was very much aware of something new, and different than any place I had experienced before. I was surrounded with love and caring, and a deep connection to the Divine. It is beyond words. During my second session on the crystal bed I received a message to look into acquiring a crystal bed. In December 2005, with the help from my friends, I got my crystal bed. My life has evolved from wonderful to a more rich and focused place. The crystal bed has helped my spiritual, mental, and physical well being. The experience is soothing, relaxing, subtle, yet very powerful. I am available to support anyone who would be interested in having a crystal bed treatment. Please get in touch and thank you.

April 2004 I was guided to John of God and the Casa de Dom Ignacio in Abadiania. The two weeks I spent there were wonderful and most transformative as I received profound healing at the Casa, at the sacred waterfall and on the Crystal Beds. I returned to Abadiania April 2005 and felt very honored when the Entities gave me the permission to take a Crystal Bed back to Montreal.

The day before my departure I went in front of the Entities of the Casa and they blessed the Crystal Bed and told me they would work through it on my family, friends and clients. Upon return to Montreal I was amazed how the energy in my healing center changed after I set up the Crystal Bed in one of the rooms. To me that is a tangible confirmation how strongly the Entities are working through the crystals. I am practicing energy psychology and use energetic techniques to help clients find relief from allergies and chronic ailments and am very grateful that I can support that work now with crystal bed healing. The sessions have been truly powerful. Physically present in the center but also long distance. Everybody's experience is different, however most people experience extreme relaxation, "as if something has been lifted off". Some people feel hands working on them and others as if they are elevating from the table.

I am very grateful to John of God, the Entities and all the volunteers at the Casa de Dom Ignacio for all the wonderful work they are doing.

Where does one begin her story? Ever since my first trip to Brazil 3 years ago, I have never again seen life exactly the same way. I have been back to Brazil six times since then and will continue to go as long as I shall live. This last time I was there in August 2006 and I was blessed by the entities to become a medium of the casa and to bring groups to Brazil. I was also told to bring back a Crystal Bed for the ever-growing Russian community that flocks to see John of God. From the depth of my soul I am forever grateful to God for giving me this opportunity to experience the miracles and spiritual awakenings that are happening all the time and are all around us.

The Services I offer in my office are as follows:
- Crystal Bed Sessions

Dear friends and mediums of the Casa de Dom Inacio,

For the last few days I have been bombarded with emails from all over the world asking about the allegations published on the internet and even some magazines. I did not respond much to anyone because I was waiting to have a clear message to deliver about this whole situation.

...................Today I was reminded of why it is that I am here at the Casa. It is not because of the manifestations or the operations or the visible demonstrations of supernatural power. I am here because this Casa, the Entities and the Medium are committed first and foremost to the Love of God. We are all human and life happens. I do not expect any one or any place to run perfectly, smoothly, with no hiccups and no differences of opinion. But I choose to align myself with the Love of God and those who are committed to that Love. Today I saw a demonstration of that commitment in a very large scale. I was able to glimpse at a small sliver of where the healing that the entities demonstrate every day comes from.....

João Teixera de Farias is an ordinary Brazilian man, with an extraordinary ability as a psychic medium and healer. He says his mission is "to respect God". In that mission he allows benevolent spirits to work through him to assist people in their healing-for hours at a time.

João makes no claims that he is enlightened. He makes no claims to be a healer. He says, "I do not heal, God is the one who heals". People have given him the name, John of God. He speaks of himself as a simple, Brazilian man, who comes from a poor family.

.....What is clear: when he is doing his mission of embodying spirits who help others in their healing, he is truly and simply a man of God -an extraordinary being, revealing extraordinary phenomena, sharing a divine compassion with all beings. Also, because he is unique and charismatic, John has inspired many people from all over the world to come to Brazil. He has thus introduced them to the richness of the healing traditions there.

"Just go and experience it. We are returning this October with a larger group. It transformed my life, and the other people we went with last year".
Ingrid USA

"I was really touched by this love and healing energy".
Yasmin, Germany

"It was a great experience, I felt really good there all the time, I was just so happy! The Casa and Abadiania are just charged with positive energy and I felt it. I've never been to a place where I've felt so good all the time and I've travelled quite a bit. I'd recommend it to anyone seeking healing at all levels. It's a wonderful refuge from this crazy world we live in".
Monica, San Francisco

"A wonderful experience, I travelled to Abadania with high hopes and even higher expectations, and I left after 3 weeks feeling exhilarated and humbled by the love and healing I had seen. I will, without question, return many times".
Andy, UK

"The entities are not there to fulfill one's expectations. once you give up your own plans and surrender to the process, healing can happen. healing happens in an other way than you expect it. sometimes, the entities do not change the obvious situation - but the way you see and handle it".
Juliane, Germany

"I made beautiful experiences with the entitys, and my trust in God and in the healing through him became very strong. I don't believe anymore in illness".
Laya, Germany

"Since I started to go there my life changed. My family, my work and everything I do is better. Even that I'm still sick, I feel good and I know that my cure is there, in God's hands trough John of God work. Now, I am considered a "son of the house" by one of the entities and I got my baptism in my last visit in AUG/2006. I feel better every time I go to Abadiania and All my friends come to tell me that visible change when I come back".
Flavio, USA

"It has changed my life forever, opened my heart to love everything around me, and helped me find an inner peace I never thought I could experience".
Nadya, USA

"I know I am prepared for these trips (now 2) before I leave Australia and I have felt the growth within myself since my first trip. More at peace with myself. It truly is one of the wonders of the world".
Lesley, Australia

The following is a new addition to the list of individuals worldwide who offer crystal bed treatment. (For full listing and articles on crystal beds please go to www.friendsofthecasa.org/CrystalBeds1104.htm)

In August 2004 I read an article about John of God and Casa de Dom Inacio. I just knew I had to go and two months later I was there. This journey turned out to be the most overwhelming and wonderful two weeks in my life. With me back to Sweden I had a crystal bed and I have been offering crystal bed treatments to my clients since then with amazing results.

When I first came to Casa de Dom Inacio I had back injuries and rheumatic pain which are now almost gone and healed. Such deep tissue healing is a very transformative process and my ability to work as a spiritual teacher, medium and healer has improved a lot after my visits to the Casa. During my 3rd visit I got permission to work as a guide and take groups to the Casa from Sweden and Scandinavia. At my website you can find a complete guide to the Casa in Swedish.

Thank you João de Deus, Entities and all the people working at the Casa

I am extremely grateful to the Casa for making these crystal beds available to us, and to the Entities of the Casa as well as all the other healing beings who work with me and with my clients and family during crystal bath treatments.

I have been practicing energy healing for 18 years using both contemporary and time honored approaches. I work with people in energy healing sessions and classes to dissolve and transform unhealthy patterns of energy and restore health, simultaneously bringing forth their gifts and talents. My practice includes people who are dealing with a range of severe to mild physical conditions, difficult life situations, and emotional trauma as well as those people who are focusing on stress reduction and balance of life. I have observed that the crystal bath sessions seem to "till the spiritual and energetic soil" of my clients, opening them to greater shifts in chronic energy patterns, thinking, and consciousness.

I now use the crystal bed in alternating sessions with hands on energy healing treatments. Using my finely tuned and dimensional subtle sense perception, I assess the energy fields of my clients before and after crystal bath treatments. The after scans have always revealed a dramatic shift in both the surface and daily collection of energetic clutter as well as shifts in distinct and deeply held restricted patterns of energy. One client who was suffering with a bout of extreme back pain resulting, she thought, from the emotions accompanying a truly difficult life situation, initially sought out massage therapy treatments for relief. Her pain was only slightly impacted by the massages. She came in for one crystal bath and left pain free and delighted. I find that my clients, even those with long standing chronic conditions, more readily move into breakthroughs in thinking, healthy actions, and physical well being as a result of these treatments.

Most people have found the crystal baths very relaxing and soothing, and often do not want to get off the table. Many people experience warm touches on their body, others feel warm "hands" working gently inside their body, everyone seems to experience a range of pressures, tingles, tickles, inner movement, removal of inner "stuff", and the presence of loving beings around them.

In addition to ongoing improvements in awareness and health, my clients seem to also benefit in other areas of their life as if they are connected through the crystal baths to new opportunities and ideas that help to untangle and resolve difficult life situations as well as open new doors for positive life changes.

In my years as an energy healer I have often performed long distance healings on clients. This gave me the idea to see if long distance crystal baths might be effective. They are! I now offer crystal baths both in person in my office and long distance. These long distance crystal bath treatments are very useful for those people who are out of town or too ill to come in. For long distance treatments, most people feel it the same as in person. Those that see the beings of light working around them while in my office, also see them at home during a distance crystal bath. Two clients receiving distance crystal baths reported they could see the colored lights above them blinking and knew exactly when I turned on and off the crystal bath.

A highly experienced energy healing colleague of mine, with whom I attended the Barbara Brennan School of Healing years ago, finds the crystal bath one of the most powerful healing tools available. She has witnessed energy patterns containing old emotions and memories, childhood experiences, past life traumas, and limiting beliefs lift out of her during a crystal bath layer by layer, leaving her with new insights and cohesiveness. She also reports that her "hara line" has been radically strengthened and straightened and that her problematic endocrine system has been significantly improved.

I continue to marvel at the magnitude of what goes on during these sessions and the profound resource for healing that the crystal beds offer. My thanks again to the Casa de Dom Inacio.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about crystal bath treatments, energy healing sessions, or life coaching. I can be reached at 913-345-9442; email ingramstudio@kcnet.com, or via my website www.ingramstudio.com

My journey to the Casa De Dom In'acio was in June of 2006 for two weeks. I went to Brazil with an open heart to receive what ever healing body, mind and spirit, that God and the entities saw fit for me. I had MINOR health issues and I wanted direction in my life. Surgery, meditation, herbs and crystal baths were prescribed for me. By the beginning of the second week I was "feeling" the Peace and Love all my friends at home had talked about. Three days before we were scheduled to leave I was told by entities that I should bring a crystal bed home with me. I do not normally make decisions like this quickly but I knew I had to go for it. Permission was granted by João in entity and the process began. I went in front of entity for my final blessing and was told "go to work". I hadn't planned on making any sizable purchases while in Brazil so it was off to the city to the bank of Brazil, twice. The long process of retrieving money was finally successful 19 hours before our scheduled departure from Abadiania. This would not have happened with out Anderson, the best taxi driver / interpreter ever.

I have been in the medical field for 30 years. My goal is to help people become more aware of alternative methods of healing. I have been blessed with the opportunity to contribute to the link between spirituality and health. Helping people bring themselves to a balanced body mind and spirit with crystal bath treatments. I am finding working with crystals and color therapy and the importance of chakra harmony VERY interesting.

Thank you God, João, the entities, David and Diane Pauly, Gary Walker and Anderson. I know the entities are still guiding me.

I am sad to inform you that I will not participate in the events scheduled for:
September 3 - 5 2006 Berlin
September 8 - 10 2006 Alsfeld
September 15 - 17 2006 Ulm

On August 24th 2006, Mr Victor Rollhausen, President of Earth Oasis and his team of people responsible for the organisation of the above mentioned events, arrived in Abadiania and informed me that I had been dismissed from my participation in said events. Regretfully I had no say in this decision and therefore I cannot assume any responsibility for any inconvenience my absense may cause you.

I thank all the European people who were planning to travel and take time from your lives to participate in these events with me because of your faith in the Entities and in God.

In mid July, Diego from the Casa contacted us to clarify the following.

"There was a slight misunderstanding about an announcement made on stage by the entity last week. I ask that you forward this message to your subscribers so we can clarify the point and avoid further confusion.

The simultaneous translation failed to convey the full meaning of the entity's statement and this created some misperceptions which have snowballed into a lot of rumors and uncertainty.

It is a tremendous blessing to hold a sacred space for these Crystals and the Entities that work through them.

July '06

Well folks it happened and there is only one word that can adequately describe the event and that is WOOOW!

The event was the culmination of almost 3 years planning It was an unqualified success thanks in large part to the ongoing guidance and help of the Entities and a wonderful team of volunteers.

Claudio and Miriam who have a pousada in Abadiania have bought a farm about 6 or 7km out of Abadiania. It's a special place. Here, in this beautiful place you can relax at the weekend with the blessing of the Entities and enjoy all the beauties of nature in the fresh air of the countryside. At the Fazenda named "Fin de Semana" (fazenda is farm) there are opportunities to swim, fish, to sit quietly and meditate or just to wander by the river. (lunch and transport are provided). Spend the day here with a small group of Casa people, come back refreshed and relaxed. For reservations contact Claudio or Miriam (Tel 0011 55 62 3343 2046, or cel 9622 2934), or at their Pousada next to Martin and Fernanda's pousada.

URGENT: It is wise to check and possibly arrange for changes in your international flights with Varig. In USA, they have cancelled all flight service to New York JFK and to LAX. Another report alluded that other airlines may not honor their tickets under the inter-airline agreement under certain conditions.

On June 23rd Brazil's Varig Airlines Suspended Service Out Of New York. Varig is billions in debt and has been under pressure from creditors. It had operations at JFK, but has now grounded most of its international flights, including all of its service to and from Kennedy. The airline did win a temporary reprieve from a judge Wednesday stopping creditors from repossessing part of its fleet.

The Port Authority says Varig service is unlikely to return to New York. Those who have tickets are being asked to call the airline at 1-800-468-2744.

NOTE: Los Angeles ALSO likely same situation.

I am honored and so thankful to have been granted permission by the entities to obtain one of the wonderful Crystal Beds from The Casa.
One Hundred Angels is my private healing practice in Balmain, New South Wales, of which I perform energetic healing sessions. Each session takes place utilising the energy of the angelic realm and working directly with Archangel Michael to assist in allowing people to see the light and power that shines within their own soul and release them from blockages, illness or negative energies.
After bringing a coma patient back into consciousness after three days with angelic energy from Archangel Michael, I was advised to create One Hundred Angels. Since its conception I have been truly blessed to be able to hold the hearts and hands of those in need to successfully heal them and guide them with love through a myriad of earthly conditions including some of which have been - depression, knee reconstructions, bowel failure, deterioration of eye site, lack of self worth, lethargy, blockages, skin cancers, heart ache, grief, muscular problems and much more.
I offer my sincere gratitude to The Entities of the Casa, John of God and Archangel Michael to allow me to help many,many more people with this new Crystal Bed.
Much love, laughter and light to you all!

I am very excited and honored to announce the arrival of our crystal bed. It is like welcoming a child in to our family of which I have prepared for over the last year. Last June I was in Brazil with John of God and was given permission to bring a crystal bed back with me. At the time I was working as an independent midwife facilitating many souls transition at birth. I had previously been working as a registered nurse in holistic practice and facilitating soul transitions in passing. At the time the enterties said that I would be guiding people to John of God and working with the crystal bed and that I would no longer be working in orthodox medicine. 11 months later I am no longer working in the above fields and am very much involved in the wonderful journey of facilitating the souls journey in between ie being. I have also just been the co-ordinator of the infirmary during John of Gods tour to New Zealand of which was an honor and a blessing. Thank you to all.

We have returned from Abadiania with a lightbed and blessings to go to work in our area. We are exited to share with people in our area the blessings the lightbed provides. Thank you

The event in Atlanta brought thousands of people each day to the 3 day event. As it turned out, I was only able to play one song "Abadiania" for the main audience the first day. But from those that did hear me play, I was touched by the response that the song invoked for those individuals.
Those who have been to Abadiania could fully relate to my own experience I sang about in the song. One woman who is from Brazil told me the song gave her a deeper appreciation for her homeland. Additionally, the organizers of the event invited people to attend a concert after the second days' event featuring a wonderful chanting group followed by myself. Though only a small group of people attended this concert, it was a delightful sharing and I finished with my song "Stay" in which I had the audience join me in the choruses of the song. It was great fun, and I received a lot of positive and heart-warming feedback from those in attendance. At the end of the event, I donated a box of 100 CD's to John of God to take back with him to Abadiânia so that he can sell them for whatever he can to further his work there, so those traveling to the Casa will be able to purchase my CD's there as well. I will continue to donate $3 from each sale of my CDs here in the States to his work as I feel strongly that his work is a necessary and beneficial service to life here on this earthly plane. No cameras were allowed during the event, so unfortunately, I don't have pictures to share with you from my sing-a-longs. Gratitude goes out to all who have taken time to give a listen to my music! And I wish abundant blessings to all!

Namaste, Kim

Feliz Natal for Abadiania - A grand celebration was held for the people of Abadiania on a brilliant sunny Saturday just before Christmas at the recently opened Casa da Sopa in downtown Abadiania. The fest included fun times for all, clowns, jugglers, cotton candy, refreshments, snacks and lunch, and gifts for all who came. There were many smiles to brighten the day even more, and of course a special lightness of heart by the celebrants.

The celebration was attended by several thousand happy souls. The feeling of joy, love and happiness was shared by all who attended.

Many volunteers as well as professional staff organized and operated the event. Many people donated time, money, gifts and labor to make the event happen. Medium João and our brother Martin Mosqueira were especially generous of their time and financial support, as were many visitors, and the regular staff and volunteers at both the soup kitchen and at the Casa Dom Inacio.

A special thanks to event photographer Robert Davidson of London UK for his time, skill and great photos of the event.
