Now after healing himself of cancer at the healthy age of 70, Hal has been personally involved in the importance of healing the Mind, Body, and Soul rather than simply one's physical body. As a practicing physician, Hal has a first hand view of modern day medical practice including its shortcomings and why it fails to meet both our individual and societal health needs.

Then, in 2001, Spirit called! And, Cecilia and Michael, together, as One, embarked upon a grand spiritual adventure that began when they, just two ordinary people, released their grasp on earthly possessions and opened their hearts to take the hand of Spirit. And, when they did, they heard the songs of angels and embraced the vibrations of Love. And, the flame of Spirit was rekindled within each of them. Just as every other child of God can do, Michael and Cecilia opened to their gifts of Spirit. They have been blessed to receive many gifts, including clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance, clairsentience, and the knowledge and ability to gather and direct God's healing energy which surrounds us and is available for our use!

Charlotte "Sparrow" Lott: Charlotte Lott was born in Miami, Florida, on February 7th, 1950, at 9:05 p.m. Her father was in the navy, and she did a tour of duty with the army. Then she married an army man. From West Berlin in the east before the wall came down, to Japan in the west, she lived and worked in many different cultures over the first 46 years of her life. Her formal education includes a B.A. in Industrial Mathematics and Computing Science from the University of Florida and, later, a secondary teaching certification in Mathematics and Chemistry from the University of Utah. But in truth she says, "My real education began the first time I opened my eyes and drew breath. And the icing on the cake has come over the last 25 years when I have sat at the feet of the Masters for my spiritual reminder teachings. My teachers were mainly in the spirit and they were reminding me of what I already know." Remembering her roots, both physical and spiritual, has been quite important for her work in this lifetime. She is mostly Native American, 92% to be exact. Each of her grandparents brought a nation and one brought two into her blood line, plus a little English and Scottish. With her Native American name "Sparrow", she is Tuscarora, Mohawk, Cherokee, Arapaho, and Mi' Qmaq, and four of these family blood lines are medicine lines with genetic memories. According to Charlotte, Awakening genetic memories and past life memories meant she did not need to spend a lifetime learning the gifts again. The military traveling took her to many places where she had been a healer of one type or another over many lifetimes and reminded her of what she had learned in each place. Then the Creator took her where the gifts were needed so that she could put them to good use. She has many gifts used to heal individuals and groups on the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, and the main gift she uses is her singing voice."
