Everything Will Be All Right In the End

So much is going on right now, that I think everyone needs to hear this message:

“Everything will be all right in the end.”

And if you’re still lounging around today at the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, I have another one of my “Best Spiritual Movies” for you: “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.”

For me, it’s delightful (and spiritual) for two reasons:

1. It shows how 6 people can be in the exact same situation and surroundings, and have completely different experiences (from horrible to amazing).

And…

2. The mantra of the young Indian character which is so absolutely true — “Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all right, then it’s not the end!”

Watch my video… I hope you enjoy it:

As I say in the video, I know that sometimes just saying a happy mantra isn’t going to fix your life, sometimes you need more than that. 

It’s all about moving out the Gunk and the Blocks that are holding you in disconnection and then moving you back into Connection on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. The specific ways are different for each person. That’s why we custom design retreats for exactly what you need and that’s why they are so powerful and effective.

Hi, I’m Debra Stangl, founder of Sedona Soul Adventures and International bestselling author of The Journey To Happy, coming to you again from incredibly beautiful Sedona, Arizona – and I’m so happy you’re here with me.  

In these series of videos I’m talking about concepts from my book 

“The Journey to Happy– How Embracing the Concept that Nothing is wrong can transform your life”.

Today I’m continuing my series of talking to you about my favorite spiritual movies. Movies that you might not necessarily think of as spiritual, and I’m doing this series for two reasons: 

  1. I love the messages these movies have.
  2. Watching a movie can very often, just immediately make you feel better. 

One of the things that I talk about a lot in my book is that when you start to feel yourself starting to slip and just starting to not feel great, that’s when you need to do something, anything, to start making yourself feel better… like listening to music, petting your dog or your cat, or watching a movie that makes you laugh or feel good. 

So this is one of those movies for me. It’s called “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” 

I love this movie for two reasons: 

  1. It shows how 6 people can be in the exact same situation and surroundings, and have completely different experiences (from horrible to amazing) 

and

  1. I love the mantra of the young Indian character which is absolutely true (hang on for a moment, I’ll get to it). 

So the movie is about 6 older British people (all incredible actors like Maggie Smith), all of whom are retirement age and think they are going to retire to an amazingly beautiful hotel in India that has been set up for people in their golden years. But then when they get there, the place is completely dilapidated, doesn’t have proper plumbing and the food is making almost all of them run to the restroom constantly, etc., etc., etc. 

But it is so incredible to watch the reactions of these 6 different people. For some of them, the colors and smells and intensity of India are amazing and fascinating and fabulous and an incredible learning experience. For the others, it is horrible and nasty and dirty and awful and they can’t wait to get away. The ones who are negative, basically stay negative, but for the ones who are open and interested, it is a transformational, fantastic experience. 

And isn’t that how our lives are? Haven’t you been in situations where for some people, it’s wonderful and fabulous, and for others, the exact same situation is terrible and awful? It’s such a lesson in the fact that it’s not about what’s going on outside — it’s about what’s going on inside.  

Many years ago I read in one of Wayne Dyer’s books where he said, “When you squeeze an orange, you get orange juice.”

So what comes out of you when you get squeezed?

Complaints? Blame? Anger? 

Or Interest? Wonderment? Enthusiasm?   

Like I always say, it’s always an inside job. And it’s always about how you decide to look at things and experience things.  

Now here’s the second part I love: The young Indian man who is trying to run the hotel (in the face of the obstacles of fixing up the hotel and wanting to marry the woman he loves), is constantly saying, “Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all right, then it’s not the end!”   

Isn’t that great?

It’s so true, isn’t it? Don’t you find in your own life, that most often, things just really have a way of working out? Don’t you find that the things you’re most worried about never happen? 

When we have that knowing, that deep belief, that All Is Well, everything really is working out, that everything really will be all right… It’s amazing what a difference it makes in moving through the trials and tribulations that we all face each day. 

So I invite you to keep saying that to yourself: “Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all right, then it’s not the end!”   

Now I get it, sometimes just saying a happy mantra isn’t going to fix your life. Sometimes you need more than that.  

How are you feeling right now? 

Does life sometimes feel overwhelming for you?  
Do you sometimes feel no matter what you do, you can’t get out from underneath it all? 
Do you feel like there’s nothing you can do about  it?

Well, I’m here to tell you there is something you can do about it. Your life can be transformed if you’re willing to take responsibility for your life and your creations. The way you perceive the world and the way you move in the world can be changed in an instant. I see it all the time and it is truly miraculous. 

It’s all about moving out the gunk and the blocks that are holding you in disconnection and then moving you back into connection on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. The specific ways are different for each person. That’s why our custom-designed retreats are so powerful and effective 

So call us – connect with one of our Angel Guides and let them design a retreat that can bring you back into the knowing that All is Well. It can change your life. 

If you’d like, go to SedonaRetreatGuide.com and get your complimentary copy of The Sedona Guide to Spiritual Retreats today. 

Or even better, if you’d like to talk to someone about doing a retreat that will turn your life around, call us at (928) 204-5988.  

You can have the life  AND the relationship you want – I know it.

This year sucked…and other things to be grateful for this Thanksgiving

“This whole year has sucked!! I’m not thankful for anything!!”

I have heard so many people say that recently and I certainly understand where it comes from.

The pandemic has affected everyone all around the world.

The election and the polarization of our country seems to just be getting worse…

But I want you to stop and think for a moment and ask yourself this question:

What’s happened to YOU this year?

With everyone with whom I’ve had this conversation, when they’ve stopped and really thought about it, the answers have had a great deal of similarity. All of this stuff that’s been going on has made them stop and really think about the big questions:

How do I want my life to be? 

How do I want my relationships to be?

It felt before like all of us were running around like crazy people, rush, rush, rush and things just kept getting nuttier and nuttier.

One of the things that has been so amazing with the pandemic is that for a little while, the entire world stopped. It just stopped! And for the first time ever, we had something that affected the entire world! That’s never happened before in the history of the planet, not even during the world wars. One thing that affected everyone worldwide.

The whole planet just had to stop. And reflect.

And what I’ve been seeing ever since then, is that almost everyone I’m coming into contact with has realized some things:

  • Life is short
  • Life is too short for me to not be living my life in the way I want
  • Life is too short for me to not be living my Life Purpose
  • Life is too short for me to not be having the kind of relationships I want
  • I want relationships that nurture me and make me happy, and life is too short for me to settle for anything less than that

It’s so interesting how when you get clear on that, suddenly so much stuff falls away.

Things that you thought you “had to do” either can’t be done in the same way or you don’t do them and you discover the sky doesn’t fall.

You start telling people in your life the truth about what you want and you’re amazed to find out they love you and want to support you in being happy.

All of this is exactly what we’re seeing in our retreats right now. Individuals who are coming are clear they want to start living their best life. See this Trustpilot testimonial. Mathew (not his real name) says: 

“I feel like I have completely reset my entire being to a place of peace, clarity and best of all, Love.”

And I love how Jill says:

“I know my whole family will benefit from the transformational work we did during our time at Sedona Soul Adventures.”

And she’s so right! It not only transforms your life and the life of you and your partner, the transformations affect everyone around you. The biggest referrals we get are when clients go home and their friends or spouses or co-workers say to them, “What happened to you?” And then the friend calls us and says, “I want me some of that!”

Don’t get me wrong, this has been a very challenging year. But isn’t it fabulous that for so many people, all of this has given them a huge knowing of what they DON’T WANT. And knowing very clearly what you don’t want is the first step of knowing and manifesting what you DO want. And for those who are willing, this can be turned into a time where you can get what Mathew got:

“A re-set of your entire being into a place of peace, clarity and best of all, Love.”

And can you imagine going into 2021 with a sense of clarity and peace? About all aspects of your life? All of that and more are possible. I love it so much (and you’ll see it when you read it) that so many of our Trustpilot reviews say, “My Soul Adventure was so much more than we expected!”

Call and speak with one of our Angel Guides. They’ll have a deep conversation with you about what’s going on in your life or your relationship. What are the parts that are working? What are the parts that aren’t working? They’ll start the process of figuring out where the problems are and what needs to be done. They’ll talk with you (or both of you for a Couples Retreat) about your deepest needs and desires. Then they’ll custom design a retreat that will take you from where you are to where you want to be. 

Life’s too short to be living an unsatisfying life. 

Life’s too short to be in an unhappy, unsatisfying relationship.

Remember, there’s no cost or obligation to speak with an Angel Guide and you can do your Soul Adventure in-Sedona or from the comfort of your own home.

How to Turn Around a Painful Relationship Breakup or Breakdown

There is almost nothing more emotionally painful than the breakup or breakdown of an important relationship in our lives, whether it’s a spouse, partner, lover, family member, friend, boss or any relationship. In this Masterclass you will learn how to:

  • Bring Yourself out of the Pain of a Relationship Breakup or Breakdown
  • Prevent Relationship Breakdowns Before They Happen
  • Become A More Empowered Partner
  • Be the Best Partner To Yourself

Sarah Gallway has been a Practitioner and Transformational Life Coach for Sedona Soul Adventures for many years and she says “one of the tools I love the most to use in my ‘Relationship Rescue’ sessions is turning painful relationships around into empowered relationships.”

The breakup or breakdown of a relationship is not only heartbreaking, it’s gut wrenching. Often the stressful thoughts, feelings and stories can consume us for days, weeks, months and even years with ongoing regrets, blames, hurts and resentments. The challenge is in finding a reliable way to turn around our hearts, minds and spirits back to a place of understanding and balance that can heal the relationship and ourselves. This Masterclass will be showing you how to transform those stressful and painful relationships back around to a place of healing, understanding and self-empowerment.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN IN THIS RELATIONSHIP MASTERCLASS

  1. You will learn how to do the Relationship process for turning around painful relationships. We will be inviting participants to choose and write down a particular relationship break up or breakdown they would like to work with that has been painful or stressful, that they would like to “turn around” to a healing and breakthrough.
  2. Preventing Breakdowns Before They Happen: You will also learn how to use the Relationship process to rescue and repair your relationships by catching the signs of stressful tensions building before painful breakdowns happen. You will learn how to catch negative thoughts, beliefs, and stories that can push your relationship away by triggering the very people you want cooperation from. This process shines the light on what is creating disconnect and turns the relationship around to insightful ways to solve differences.
  3. How to Become A More Empowered Partner: You will discover insightful and creative ways to turn your role around in stressful relationship situations, so that you are no longer a victim to the circumstance of the relationship, but in the process of becoming a wiser, smarter, and more resourceful partner in accessing what you need to say, be, or do to create a more workable and fulfilling relationship.
  4. How To Be the Best Partner To Yourself: One of the most healing and valuable “turn arounds” of all in this process is learning that instead of waiting on your relationships to provide the loving and caring that you need to happy, you can turn that around to being the most loving and caring partner you can be to yourself and set yourself free from needing to micromanage or control other’s behaviors to get there. It also turns out to be the key to creating healthier, happier, and more well-balanced relationships. Learn how!

This is going to be a powerful Masterclass – I hope you can join us.

Only a few spots left for our Return To Egypt Tour
February 13-26, 2021 – 100% Refundable

I came across this email yesterday and I thought it would be fun to send you what I sent last February when we were in Egypt. What a trip down memory lane!

And it’s so funny, Sherrilene (below on her camel) is coming to Sedona to do another Adventure in a few weeks. Richard and I are going to take her out to dinner at the fabulous Mariposa Restaurant, which is where we got married, surrounded by red rocks three years ago. I love how so many of my Sacred Travelers become life-long friends. We can’t wait to see her!

I’m so excited for our next trip February 13-26, 2021! There are still some spots available and we’d love to have you join us!

Here’s what I sent last February 23 (wow, that seems like a long time ago!):

We have had the first few days of our fabulous Egypt trip! People from all over the country and Canada are here with us and as usual, we’re having the time of our lives on this amazing journey.

Egypt group 2020

Debra and Richard and camel 2020

We have had the first few days of our fabulous Egypt trip! People from all over the country and Canada are here with us and as usual, we’re having the time of our lives on this amazing journey.

We always start right out with a camel ride to the Great Pyramid. Woman in orange on camelThey are so sweet and it’s so magnificent to just look up and there’s the Great Pyramid! Every year it’s just so stunning to be in the presence of this amazing structure that is so full of mystery.

Here’s Sherrilene getting a nuzzle from one of the camels! She came on a Soul Adventure last year and said to me “I must go to Egypt!” and now here she is! I love how that happens with so many people!

The camel guys always get a kick out of taking pictures of us kissing on our camels!

And then it was on to the Sphinx, and this year we took a lot of photos playing around with the Sphinx.

Here’s me kissing the Sphinx.

And now the Sphinx is kissing my hand.

This is a new one and it’s my favorite – me putting sunglasses on the Sphinx!

Isn’t that fun? As I said, that was only 9 months ago, it feels like so long ago with everything that’s happened this year! Another reason I’m so excited to go again in February!

Egypt has the virus under control and one of the things they are doing is requiring all people to have a positive test 72 hours before they come into the country. Isn’t that smart? And we can get a rapid test at JFK, which is where we all meet to fly to Egypt.

Karen was on a Search for Self Love…and Found It!!

We just started doing our One Day Soul Experiences this year and they have been nothing short of amazing! Of course, if you want your life completely 1000% transformed or your marriage saved, that definitely requires our full blown Soul Adventures which are 3-4 days.

But I have to tell you, people are having incredible things happening with their One Day Soul Experiences. Karen came here 3 weeks ago and read how she is still feeling the transformations:

Here are all the things I love about her beautiful words:

  • She’s on a self-love quest and she found self love!
  • After her experience, she finds it much easier to access her Divine Spirit
  • She’s no longer doing any negative self talk
  • She feels freer
  • She received so many tools that she’s using daily
  • She waited to write this until 3 weeks after returning home and the effects are still with her big time!

This gives you an example of what can happen on one of our One Day Soul Experiences. Now as I said earlier, if you have really deep wounds and need a complete power washing of your soul, then you need to do a 3 day Soul Adventure. Or if you and your partner are about to call it quits or you’re having really serious problems, then you need to do a full blown Couples Retreat.

But look at what can happen with one of our One Day Soul Experiences:

To be able to get clarity and direction in your life – what a gift!
