Review for Divine Assistants International (Divine Mother Center), Laytonville, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Because Divine Assistants International (Divine Lineage Healing Center) exists, I no longer suffer with epilepsy, migraines or panic attacks. Self-harm and a desire (and attempts) to exit this life no longer dominate my actions or thoughts, and fear no longer dictates my reality. Divine Assistants International has, in no uncertain terms, changed my life and saved my life.

I now know from personal experience that it is possible to heal: from physical illness, emotional distress and despair, and soul sickness. The tools I needed to fully heal from a long history of violence were tools given me through my studies in courses offered at Divine Lineage Healing Center. It is through these courses that learning became a journey, and healing became real. I will continue to expand my experience and knowledge through these studies, and now I focus not on fear or despair, but on continually becoming a better conduit for love and healing.

The courses are lead by the highly advanced healers and teachers at Divine Lineage Healing Center, and the staff of Divine Assistants International (Divine Lineage Healing Center) consists entirely of women and men who are wholly dedicated heart and soul to the uplifting and healing of all beings across the planet; their dedication is astounding and inspirational.

In addition to all I have cited and so much more (I could write a book, it seems, so much to tell), the mission of Divine Assistants International (Divine Lineage Healing Center) is beautifully illustrated in the Peace Fire movement they created (https://peacefires.org). Now joined by individuals and groups in 188 locations and 27 countries, this movement for world peace and healing grows with each global event.

During the times during which I find I am overwhelmed and, "the world is too much with me," the tools I've developed through courses, and my ongoing studies with Divine Lineage Healing Center, provide me with the courage and strength needed to lift up out of negativity. Considering the current climate of suffering, uncertainty, anger and fear we live in, it is, to me miraculous to know I am never, ever alone.

Although it may take many, many lifetimes, it is my intent to one day repay Divine Lineage Healing Center for all they have done, and continue to do, selflessly and with genuine heartful intent for the well being of the planet and its inhabitants.

Review for Divine Assistants International (Divine Mother Center), Laytonville, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My past is one of great violence. Growing up the victim of violence as a young child, I repeated the pattern of victimization for much of my life through abusive relationships, and attempted suicide twice (both times the doctor told me I should not have survived). I hid from an armed boyfriend in a basement, lied at emergency room visits about damage to my jaw/shoulder/head, suffered frequent bouts of depression, and always, always, lived bound by the chains of fear.

It is a challenging endeavor to overcome deep childhood trauma, and I sought healing through a lot of counseling, earning a psychology degree, isolation, and many many hours of time in the wilderness. As I gained my degree, I ended the pattern of abusive relationships forever.
Still, I experienced panic attacks, nightmares, seizures, depression, and, as before, an ever present underlying fear.

Divine Assistants International is responsible for my being on this planet today. Anyone who knows me well hears me say this over and over again. Through completing many of the courses offered by Divine Assistants, I have found true healing. Emotional, physical, and spiritual. My suicidal ideation has completely ceased. I no longer have nightmares, panic attacks are becoming a long-ago and far-away memory (!!), and depression and seizures are no longer running my life. And, beyond all expectation, I no longer have the constant fear. Imagine, decades of deeply ingrained fear, despair and pain healed. Body, heart, and soul.

But I'm just one person. As I've healed and learned and grown through processes, I've witnessed the powerful force for good that is Divine Assistants International. Feeding the most vulnerable of their community, providing global access to professionally designed and expertly presented life-changing courses through the Soul University (and I do mean life-changing), and providing healing to people across the planet, Divine Assistants International exists for one reason: the betterment of the well-being of all people and the planet.

It was not a blithe manner in which I shared my story. In fact, I have never publicly written of my violent past. But I know that this is a non-profit that depends largely (mostly) on us: you-me-all of us, to stay alive. And it is the least I can do because they are the reason I am alive.

In 2016, Divine Assistants International began the #countyourlight movement , and on New Year’s Eve 2016, in an interfaith action, thousands of people in 68 countries came together and sent positive intentions for 26 continuous hours. This movement continues to grow, and includes the peace fires that take place every month.

Divine Assistants International means comfort, learning, acceptance, growth, healing, global community, life, and love. Hope in a time many deem hopeless.

We can be the light to an organization that ends darkness for so many.

Divine Assistants International has not only changed my life, but continually provides assistance to those suffering from poverty, hunger, illness, depression and other hardship. The tenant of Love upon which and through which the Church of the Divine Lineage is founded and works is a bright light born of the premise to "harm never, help ever." Words are too small to express the gratitude I and thousands of others around the globe feel for this organization, and I will work always to repay them through service to others in kindness and compassion and Love. Please, look them up, be courageous and live for Love.
