Halcyon Illuminations Online

Welcome!

I have a million excuses for the hard copy version of Illuminations going from a quarterly venture to a semi-annual one then to a very sporadic publication. All my excuses are quite creative too. I even thought about sending out a flyer listing my really valid reasons, but as fate would have it, my hard drive crashed; I lost my entire mailing list. It was at this point, I finally gave in to the notion that perhaps some important things had to happen before I wrote another word. And happen, they did.

Those were "the old days" when postage for snail mail cost me an arm and a leg; the old days, before I had a staff of editors and writers. Illuminations began in 1996 as a newsletter which addressed general health issues. Since then, I have realized that healing is only one facet of becoming compassionately wise or, in a word, enlightened. Consequently, the newsletter has taken on a kind of life, having evolved into a many-colored thing with a seemingly strong will to follow its own unique path towards perfect understanding. I am this metamorphic creature’s creator, but though I marvel at its growth, I also try to keep in mind that its transformations have not only mimicked my own but now, those of our editors, contributors, and of course our readers. When Halcyon Illuminations made its way into Cyberspace in 1999, another transformation took place. As new illuminations arrive and as we continue to create, Illuminations will continue to adapt and emulate.

Our Purpose

The pages throughout Halcyon Illuminations Online will allow you to explore the fascinating realms of healing all aspects of life. It is our sincerest belief that part of attaining good health involves achieving an understanding of the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Each affects the others intimately and sometimes subtly. Therefore, the achievement of excellent health involves the wholeness of being and, in essence, a profound understanding of one's Self. The purpose of Illuminations is to assist in that journey towards awakening and to share resources for the inevitable journey after it.
