One of the many things a Gate provides is a wonderful sense of support and community. You will often see people hugging. I've heard Donny tell the story of how the hotel where they held the first Gate did not want them back because there were too many incidences of “unprovoked hugging.” HA! A friend sent me this video of related content; I hope you enjoy it.

The Universe is Intereacting With You
This past Labor Day weekend, I made my annual trip to Denver for the Transformational Gate healing seminars that are open to anyone in Network Care. For me, each Gate is a unique and wonderful healing experience. My past Gate experiences have always been inspiring, creative, awesome and fun; this year was no different.
I've always felt and have known that there is a cosmic connection that we all have the ability to tap into. I'm sure we've all had the experience of merely thinking of someone only to have them call that day. For me, this is a daily experience.
To give you an example, I just experienced this phenomenon moments ago. Earlier today, I was singing a few verses of a song to a friend to see if she knew the song I had referred to in our conversation. Just now, my thoughts wandered momentarily back to that episode and within a few seconds the same song began to play... out of a 1,700 song mix.
In The Biology of Transcendence, Joseph Chilton Pearce writes about idiot savants, people with well below average IQ's who are somehow able to access incredible amounts of information within a very narrow field. For instance, an automobile savant could name the make, model and year of every car in a crowded parking lot, with no prior knowledge of what cars were there or even an extensive knowledge of automobiles in general. There was a famous pair of “calendrical” savants who could tell you the day Easter fell on a thousand years ago. Again, these are people with no prior knowledge or even the capacity to understand any of the information they are conveying.
Pearce explains that, without the distraction of a constant thought stream, idiot savants can tune into informational “fields,” that are apparently out there and available, and become clear channels for information by using well-developed parts of their brains... Individuals like Edgar Cayce or Jesus must have been savants, just not idiots.
Earlier in August, I attended an SRI seminar that highlighted Epstein's twelve stages of healing. Some of you may know that I have been writing songs for the each of the twelve stages. If I sit down and try and write a song, it usually doesn't come to me. As Epstein was going over Stage Six, everyone's focus was on the same information. That's when it happened; in an instant I had the Stage Six song completely composed in my head. Where did it come from? I don't know but my best guess is that I tapped into an informational field created by the collective thoughts or consciousness of the group.
So, back to the Gate.... At the very end of the Gate seminar, they raffle off a certificate for a free Gate. Since I had brought a table with me, I was eligible to win. Just before they pulled the winning ticket, I turned to my friend Matt and said, “I won it.” Then, the moment before they drew the ticket, I knew that I had won. I felt it very distinctly in my body, as fleeting though it was. When my name was called, it was not so much surprising as it was a conformation what I had felt moments ago.
I've asked a couple of “participants” to share their experiences of the Gate. This was the first Transformational Gate for each of them.

The Transformational Gate
by Linda Lewis
I recently returned from my first Transformational Gate. What a wonderful experience! I doubt there is anything quite like it. It was all that I expected and more. Actually it is difficult to describe the Gate in words. It is something you feel, experience, and becomes a part of you. The Gate is a tremendous time of healing, change, and growth. And it is a lot of fun, too. It is like going to the biggest party you have ever been to, and being the guest of honor. And so is everyone there. Or a huge family reunion where everyone is so glad to see you, because you are a part of them. I am already looking forward to going again.
The entrainments are powerful, with so many being entrained at the same time. The energy in the room is incredible. There is a tremendous freedom in knowing you can feel and experience all that you need to in a loving, supportive, and nonjudgmental atmosphere. It is amazing to think of the amount of healing and transformation going on at the same time by so many. My heart felt like it would burst with gratitude just to be there.
As the weekend progresses, you realize how much is going on within yourself. Changes, growth, inspiration, liberation... so many things words are not enough to describe it all. Leaving unwanted patterns behind, gaining new strategies for truly living life in all its fullness. I experienced more love and compassion for myself and others. A wide open feeling for giving and receiving love. Feeling more often what I think of as bliss out of the blue, those times when I take a deep breath, and am flooded with a sense of joy and peace. Feeling more altogether. Sure, there are also more tears. That seems to go with the business of life. Seeing into the hearts of people, feeling their pain, and understanding. There was a time at the Gate during a singing meditation, the tears kept pouring down my face, and I knew they would never end. So I quietly went back to sit in a corner of the room. The next thing I knew several loving women had their arms around me. We hugged, we cried together. That's the Gate. It's a very loving, nurturing environment.
I also attended the SRI seminar. I wanted to stay for it not only to understand more about SRI so I could apply more of it in my life, but I anticipated it being a chance to assimilate the intensity of the Gate and relax before getting back to my routine. I was wrong! The seminar was also incredibly powerful and intense. We didn't just learn the 12 stages of Healing, we experienced them. I do SRI regularly, mostly the first 3 stages, the others in the book didn't seem to work for me as well. I will never doubt the benefits of SRI again. I wanted to get a better feel for my own rhythms. Now I seem to have more intuition, better instinct, for what I need to do with SRI and when. And I may go through several stages in a day. It works.
For myself, the Gate and SRI was a time of spiritual growth and connection. How one event can do so much still amazes me. I found places in myself that had shut down, closed off. Cracking through that armor doesn't always feel good, but oh, when it cracks open and the light shines in you and out of you, all you can do is bask in awe and gratitude.
At the Gate you laugh, you cry, you hug, you dance and you sing. It is a totally cleansing and fulfilling experience. I loved being there!
Swing, Gates, Swing
by Debora Ott
My friend Greg would snap his fingers and shout, “Swing, Gates. Swing,” whenever he'd hear a jazz riff that moved him and he'd pick up his guitar and jump in, like Double-Dutch, playing the changes and deepening the musical groove as it touched him from heart and soul. The explosion of notes blended bounced and rebounded with sound as it released from the players, shifting the energy in the room.
Last month, I attended my first Gate. Transformational as promised, filled with energy and sound. I got to jump in and play when my heart moved me. Got to jump in and play, tune up and in with 6 different NSA practitioners from around the country. In community, with row upon row of adjustment tables tended by angels, we got to be on the same sheet of music, rush without moving, be supported and encouraged to do the real work, learning to breathe like a slender reed in a whistling world.
Break it down: 2 plus days, rain, blue skies, mountains and sun. Fun. Six adjustments, SRI, Chi Gong, Yoga, Music, it was an end of summer camp for the soul. The Angel Wash, a final love note, was perfection. All the love coming back to me as I walked the line, eyes closed. A woman grabbed me and whispered, “Let your angel out,” and I did. There's nothing tentative about human nature, nothing tentative in the divine music of the soul.
The Gate
by Laurie Ledbetter
Wow, it is something... my body just feels so different. I had been having this major consciousness shift this past year with my studies in the Kabbalah that has taken me to a completely different reality. Now I feel like my body has caught up with it all, we are in sink. The heartmath is wonderful and is a great tool... but the "GATE” is like a total overhaul... Flushing out the shit... cleaning out the pipes... getting rid of a lifetime of calcification of the outer coating the soul. IT'S FREE AT LAST! Now the soul has got its body back! I definitely know where I will be spending at least one of my vacations every year. I think my next one is going to Eurogate at Como, Italy.
