Dear Friends,
Welcome to the June issue of Higher Vibrations!
The Global Healing Circle meets June 29.
In addition, I will be giving a free talk at East West Bookstore in downtown Mountain View July 2. Details about these events below.
I usually write a new article each month for this newsletter. This month I decided to do something different and share some poems. These three are some of my first attempts at poetry since high school. They were written back in 2002 and are listed under the feature article section below. I hope you enjoy them.
Please help me by forwarding this e-newsletter to people you feel would benefit from this information.
As always, I appreciate your support, friendship and your presence in the world. May the miracles of everyday life fill your heart with joy, your mind with peace and may love abound in your life in these miraculous and amazing times.
Love and Blessings,
Tim Custis

FEATURE ARTICLE:
Where Peace Resides
Today I saw the struggle for control inside
our hearts. I felt joy and despair
simultaneously, yet they were separate so
it seemed. There was a wall between the two
and I could jump back and forth with ease.
With this remembrance I saw the place where
peace resides.
It was feeling both but nothing and the
space between. I was gifted the knowledge
that there is a choice to feel what we want
in life no matter the circumstance. That I
can love without having to show someone
pain to prove it and tears are not a
prerequisite for expressing sorrow.
Life does not have to be a roller coaster of
emotion. You can be alive and show your
true compassion with love in this place
where peace resides.
Living In The Now
As I step into the light, I feel your presence,
the peace so surreal for me.
Could it be I’m in the now?
I feel the warmth but see no sun.
Is this pure love you give to me?
Or just my wishful dreams again?
I bring your warmth into my heart.
And all my doubts just drop away.
I can finally accept your gift of love.
I no longer have to ask the question.
Could it be I’m in the now?
I have bridged the gap with pure awareness.
The peace I sought is here to stay and
my fears have gone away.
I see myself as pure love for today
I live in the now.
We Are One
I am the moon that glows at night to watch over you until first sunlight.
I am the sun that shines across the sky. I reach down to warm your spirit.
We are one and live to create. We are one for all eternity.
I am the wave that rides the ocean crest. I carry you so you can rest.
I am the sand that warms your feet. I exist to comfort you.
I am the sky so soft and blue. Trust that I am here for you.
I am the grass that smells so sweet. I love you unconditionally.
I am the air you feel and breathe. Rest assured that you are free.
I am the love you seek each day. Look inward to find me.
We are one and live to create. We are one for all eternity.
Do not judge the rainbow of creation acceptance is the way. Live in each moment and do not worry. Life may seem short, but spirit is eternal.
We really are one so go and create.

Finding “YOUR TRUTH”
Exploring the Human condition
Pain, fear, resistance and suffering play an important role in our human and spiritual existence. Learn how they can be used to accelerate our growth as a spiritual being having a human experience. In addition, you will learn body scanning a technique to help connect on a deeper level with your body.
Please join us at our new location. Many are feeling the desire to go deeper on their journey. Yet they do not know where to start or have questions about what to do next. The purpose of the Global Healing Circle is to create a safe place where we can come together to get support, direction, explore questions and create a community for healing.
The meetings are free and everyone is welcome. So if you are ready, we invite you to join us. Dates and time listed below.
The address is 330 Melville Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94301
(see directions below)
About the Global Healing Circle
The Global Healing Circle was created with my friend Suzy Baldwin to explore who we are, and who we could be in a safe and healing environment. We will encourage you to participate more in the process of creating your life by releasing blocks, setting new goals and reaching for new heights. We believe that your potential as an individual, and our potential as a global community, is unlimited.
Those who choose to join our circle will be part of a process that is ever-changing and ever-evolving to meet the needs of the group. Individually, we will explore, honor, and learn from our differences. United, we will connect, inspire, and reach for something greater than that which we currently know.
Come, try us out. Do as much or as little as you like. Share, only, if and when you’re ready. If it feels like home, stay awhile. If it does not, we thank you for your time and consideration, and send you blessings as you travel onward. Whoever, wherever you are, we honor you as part of the whole.
This is an important time in our evolution. Please join us in person or in spirit to bring forth the intention and mission of our circle.
