Dearest Alumni and Students,
It with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved Barbara Brennan passed away peacefully the morning of October 3rd, 2022. We send our heartfelt love and prayers to Barbara’s family.
We honor her life for the visionary and trailblazer that she was at a time when energy healing was in its infancy. Barbara had enormous courage to give up her job at NASA and to risk everything to follow her heart. Her teachings are timeless and will continue to be felt by all of us and many others well into the future, as you can see from the 2003 Seeds of the Spirit excerpt below –
"The Miraculous Moment."
In some miraculous moment, perhaps this moment, perhaps another, you will find an explosion of light of core essence from within the center of your heart that most automatically goes out in the shape of a sphere. Of course that light will go to this person. You will no longer feel an unforgiving attitude long before this explosion of light occurs in your heart.
The twenty-first century is about learning love and learning how love works. The twenty-first century is about transfiguration, about holding the extreme opposites that exist all over the planet that can be experienced as degrees of separation within each individual. When you find it difficult to experience the tremendous opposites that are held on the planet now and the terrible dualistic rhetoric over all of the communication systems, can you sit in wholeness? Can you erase the word terrible? Can you go into the degrees of separation within yourself, find it in your body, find the self-judgment that holds those degrees of separation within you? Bring them to your heart. It is through that process that you will find it possible to choose unity in a world threatened by war, by physical harm, by misunderstanding, by blame, by prejudice, by life-threatening pandemic illness, or even threatened by the ideas of world calamity, threatened by ideas of earth calamities.
Chaos is here to challenge duality. Chaos speaks of duality, and the fear within you recognizes the duality rather than the tremendous change, the tremendous challenges to your dualistic belief systems. That is what chaos is challenging. Can you hold unity in worlds of chaos? Can you choose love? If not, focus inward to the degrees of separation within you and bring them to unity.
Healing begins with the individuation process of focusing and rooting into the core. Healing begins with each individual's pleasurable creative force of life. Choose pleasure, choose love, choose wholeness, choose clear intention, choose who you truly are and stop living who you think you are from the perspective of duality. It is simply not true. Follow your individual path that is you. Follow your truth. If you want to know if it is your truth or not, know that truth never harms another or yourself. If there is any possibility of harm in what you call your truth or your choice for yourself or another then it simply is not your truth. Meditate to bring into unity the degrees of separation within yourself. Some are broad, some are large and some are very tiny.
Living the life of the miraculous, living a holy life means one of quiet, sweet surrender, of standing in truth and the power of unity. True surrender is to the divine within you, not to something outside of you. True surrender is to the timeless, limitless love within your heart. True surrender is to you, your greater being. That does not mean that you would not learn from a leader or teacher. There are many spiritual leaders on the planet now. It is the time when many spiritual leaders arise.
This year of 2022–23 marks forty years of students who have been transformed by her teachings and the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. Barbara dedicated her life to humanity’s becoming the community of the Sacred human heart. The school plans to host a celebration of Barbara’s life in a few weeks. Details will follow later.
We deeply hold Barbara as she transitions to her true home, and we honor her with the seeds that she planted for the world to be a better place. We hold and honor her vision.
Walk with angels, dear Barbara, you will always be remembered in the hearts of many.
With love,
Lisa VanOstrand
