The Journal Story

noreply@blogger.com (Intent Heals) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:15:00 +0000

"In December 2004, a few days before the tsunami devastated Sri Lanka, Thailand and Indonesia sweeping away 200,000 souls I was directed by Spirit to record the names of everyone I had ever known family, friends, co-workers, clients. I spent time each night listing all the people who had touched my life. Significant milestones and all the sweet and bitter memories through the years were recalled as I wrote down the names that flooded my thoughts. The experience of this remembering had a profound effect on me.
A year later, I was inspired to make my experience of December 2004 available to everyone, to create a tangible way for us to draw deeper within ourselves to remember each person who has had significance in our lives and send those souls love, light, healing and wholeness. The journals are meant to teach us that our thoughts and intentions have great power, and do indeed, as leading physicists confirm, positively impact the lives of others."
~ Jennifer Bachman ~

A socially conscious and earth-friendly company in Nepal handcrafts the Intent Heals Journal™. The company's main objective is to provide sustainable development that improves the standard of living for Nepalese families in rural and urban areas as well as preserving artisan practices unique to the Himalayan region. Tibetan refugees benefit from employment opportunities and the company donates a portion of their proceeds back into the community.

Traditional Himalayan paper making techniques practiced for generations are used to create the special Lokta paper for our journals. Raw materials and dyes come from indigenous plants cultivated in managed forests thus preserving Nepal's fragile ecology. This paper is historically used for meditation prayer wheels in Nepal and Tibet. The cover of the journal is hand-dyed paper in a variety of rich colors with a gold or silver Bodhi leaf embossed on the front; a symbolic reminder of the ultimate potential that lies within each of us.

My Life's Purpose

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:31:00 +0000

My life's purpose has unfolded and revealed itself with each non-profit organization I have worked for over the past twenty-six years. Being intimate with another human being's suffering and pain has engendered compassion, being witness to the indomitable strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity has engendered humility, and learning to listen to my heart and inner voice has ignited the passion and faith to walk a path of personal, interpersonal and global healing. The Intent Heals Journal™ began with my journey of being guided by Spirit to create a written record and pray for every person I had known.

In the past three years, the Intent Heals Journal™l has reached thousands through workshops, website sales, and working with non-profit organizations like Hospice to provide healing and forgiveness at the end-of-life. To expand the reach of the Intent Heals Journal and Intentional Healing, we have formed the Intent Heals Foundation and applied for tax exempt status so that we may raise funds to distribute the journals in prisons and to our soldiers and their families. The Foundation will also raise funds to complete the development of a Children's Educational Kit and program to teach students the value of community service and of our global interconnectedness.

Please check back for updates on the Foundation's activites.

About Us

In November of 2005, my friends Lisa Arick, Sally Atkins and I, created Indigo ~ Healing Community and launched the Intent Heals journal project. Our vision is for these beautiful hand-made journals to find their way into the hands of millions of people around the world. We know that with increased awareness of our global inter-connectedness through the use of this journal, combined with prayer and intentional healing, a dramatic shift in consciousness will occur.

For the past four years, I have been blessed to work with two of the most amazing, gifted, and loving woman. Their talents are reflected in every aspect of the journal project. As in any adventure, there is a time of parting and both Lisa and Sally are moving forward to pursue their own dreams and aspirations. With my blessing and sincere gratitude, I wish you the best and thank you for helping me birth the Intent Heals Journal.

Journal workshop feedback

noreply@blogger.com (Intent Heals) — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:28:00 +0000

"I recently had the opportunity to use the Intent Heals Journals as part of a retreat for adult men with HIV/AIDS. The experience was very moving for all who participated. These are men who have often been marginalized by society, and even by their family members and friends. They have experienced rejection, prejudice, and hate. So particular emphasis was put upon the need to use the journal to bless and forgive those individuals who had hurt them in any way through the years.

Following the directions found on the insert of their journals, the retreatants began to write the names of all the people who have touched their lives. I noticed that several retreatants were becoming emotional; some cried while others looked amazed as they kept on entering names in their books. After some time had passes, everyone closed their journals and we spoke about the effect of this simple exercise. Most were surprised at how quickly names and faces of people long forgotten came to mind. Knowing that their intention was to bless and forgive as they wrote down each name and repeated the prayer"May you receive this blessing of love, light, healing and wholeness", many reported feeling a wave of healing grace and a lightness of heart come over them that was not anticipated.

Truly the Intent Heals Journals are just little books of beautiful paper. But when they are used with the intention to forgive, they can become a powerful tool of healing and release."

Louise Dunn, Professional Life Coach

Hi Jennifer, Sally and Lisa,
I spoke with Ann earlier today and she thought you might be interested in an update on our group experience. I had purchased a journal for the one member of our group who was not able to attend your workshop. Two weeks ago we met for our weekly class. In front of a roaring fire, we said some prayers, went into silent meditation and repeated the process of adding people to our journals. Again it was a very, very powerful experience. Our group has been together for more than 3 years and our energies are very compatible and complimentary. The sacredness of the experience was very strong and we have all been impacted by the journal in profound ways. Emotions flowed freely..smiles, tears and an occasional giggle.

I hope that your travels have taken you to some exciting places and as word spreads, I have no doubt that you will receive many stories that repeat our wonderful experiences.
Peace, gratitude, and light, Jeanne

Comments From Workshop participants - Deland, Florida 1/27/07

" Everyone I've ever met contributes to our healing and clarity, adding to the distilling purity of our essence"

" I was flooded with names - transcending time and situations"

" These journals are made with love"

" It's a total honoring of everyone's life, and our own lives"

" I was astonished that I wrote my own name down first. I wrote my childhood name, and then my father's last name and then my other last names - I've had several, so it became about embracing all the people I have been."

Testimonials

"Indigo's Intent Heals Journals bring the power of prayer to a wonderful new level. Each day I write in this small book the names of loved ones I want to remember as well as the places and people in the world where I want to direct special attention.

"It is meaningful to me that once having written with intention in my prayer book, I hold it between my hands each morning and know that my love is being directed to each and every person that I've named. I also know that because all prayer heals, the energy of my prayers move beyond the special people I'm praying for and adds to the powerful global energy of peace. We purchased prayer books for a Stillpoint fundraiser to support our women's healing programs, and every last book was sold. I'm certainly going to continue to buy them and share them. I urge every organization to use these special prayer books for their own fundraisers surely we need all of our prayers as we move from the old forms to the new forms in this world. A beautiful and meaningful way to share our prayers."

"For years, I've been keeping a list of people I pray for on my altar. When I saw one of the Intent Heals Journals last spring, I knew it was perfect for this. Small, simple, easily rests on my altar, I can cup it within my hands for prayer and it travels well. I am part of a healing prayer group. When I get the monthly list of those asking for prayers, I tuck it into my journal so it is included in my daily prayers. I can continue to add people and situations to it as the need arises. I've also given it as a special gift to friends. Thank you for bringing this beautiful, meaningful simplicity into my life."
