			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1011" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1011   " style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="dsc03216" src="http://www.miraclesandgrace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dsc03216-300x168.jpg" alt="BRACO  (photo lifted from YouTube video)" width="400" height="218" /><p class="wp-caption-text">BRACO       (photo from YouTube video)</p></div>
<p>I think that we all yearn to feel deeply loved and accepted –just as we are, right now–and we want to experience a deep inner peace that is not dependent upon external circumstances.  We desire to feel hopeful about our unfolding lives, and to be free from physical pain, or at least be free of the mental suffering that can accompany it.</p>
<p>To this mind, any of the above represents “healing”.   In these challenging times, as things seem extremely out of control in many places on our beautiful but beleaguered planet, the need of healing is very apparent; whether it is physical, mental/emotional or on more refined levels of beingness, of spirit.</p>
<p>I just had the opportunity, privilege and blessing to experience such healing, attending a series of public events that I believe are positively changing the collective consciousness of the world.  All that was required of me was to stand with an open heart and mind and receive “The Energy” coursing through and around a man called BRACO (pronounced Braht-so).</p>
<p>Braco, a 42 year-old native of Croatia, husband and father, and former business man with a master’s degree in accounting, does not speak in public, nor does he give teachings or offer solutions to problems.  There is no need.   Allowing himself to be utilized as a conduit for the greatest Love, he most humbly shares the miraculous gift, which was spontaneously bestowed upon him at age 26, by simply standing and gazing at those who come to be in its presence.  <span id="more-1002"></span> As Braco modestly and effortlessly stands before groups (which sometimes number in the thousands) Nature takes it from there, often creating miraculous results.  Well-known in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Germany, etc., Braco has been sharing his gift for 14 years.  He has never charged or accepted donations for his healing work.  Once, when asked by a reporter how it all works, Braco replied that he doesn’t have a clue.  “What counts is it works”, he said.</p>
<p>The range of healings that have resulted from this Radiation of The Divine Light (my term) have been medically documented.  There are numerous YouTube videos which tell Braco&#8217;s story and the stories of those he has impacted, as this radiation permeates and affects their whole life.  My story is simple, but empowering.</p>
<p>I came upon a poster advertising Braco’s appearance in Hawaii.  “BRACO:  Gaze of Miracles” it said.  He had been a guest at a UFO convention earlier in the month, I read. My immediate reaction was that I would certainly NOT attend a gazing session, thinking, “Are you kidding me?”   I was judging it as another wild performance, in what sometimes appears to me as spiritual circus of gurus, teachers and pundits, who dance through the Islands periodically.  With continued skepticism, I viewed a YouTube video emailed me by a friend.   Again, I rejected the idea of attending, thinking that it might easily be a public relations manipulation.  Yet, surprisingly, at 7 in the morning of the second day of Braco’s visit to Maui, I found myself dressing to drive to the venue where he would be appearing.</p>
<p>I knew that the only way to attend was to be open to receive whatever there was to receive.  That was my only intention.</p>
<p>Seated in the center of the third row, I listened to an introduction to Braco by Angelika Whitecliff who told of her own experience of learning of Braco, flying to Croatia to attend a gazing session, meeting him personally, being invited to travel with him for three weeks, and making the personal commitment to help make him available to the rest of the world.   She authored a book, “21 Days with Braco” describing what had occurred.</p>
<p>Then our small group of 30 or so stood and Braco silently walked into the room and mounted the steps to a platform from which he could see, and be seen, by all.  The gazing session began.  Almost immediately, I observed a clear bright light radiating from Braco, and felt the familiar energy of the One Love causing my heart to joyously expand.  The Energy was clear, direct, enveloping and penetrating, reflecting That which I Am—Braco at once a medium and a mirror.  Through the 6 minutes of this heavenly infusion I felt the bliss of being, and an emotional satiety that I have yearned for recently.  I suddenly remembered that I had requested this very feeling of deep inner peace from Source in recent days.  What a gracious response!</p>
<p>My experience was a timely reminder that I, as a human being, was (and always am) being taken care of.  In truth, all comes from “within”. . .but sometimes a booster shot from the seemingly “without” is very helpful.   This is how it was for me.</p>
<p>I returned for several more sessions on Maui and even flew to the Big Island accompanied by dear friends to be in Braco’s presence for a few more of them.  As I looked around, or listened to others in attendance, it was clear that my experience was not unique.   Many souls were reporting being healed and sustained through the Gaze of Miracles.</p>
<p>Since returning home, I remain profoundly peaceful within in a deep and abiding way.  Numerous insights, revelations, and realizations are arising and there is a calm certainty that there is truly nothing more to be done except, of course, to continue practicing Simply Being Present, moment-to-moment.  (“No hurry, no worry”, says  Chinese Medical Physician, Lam Kong).   Another thing:  physical discomfort that has been a long time companion is abating a bit more each day and I am getting intuitive understanding as to possible emotional causes which I hadn’t contemplated before now.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em> Dear Reader:  I was compelled to write today to share with you the miracle of meeting Braco, heart to heart. </em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em> May all beings have this golden opportunity in the near future. . . </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Part 1:  After 2 years of losing contact with my best friend when she moved from California to New York, I kept calling the same number and never got a response. I finally wrote on a piece of paper on my desk, &#8220;Where is Mary?&#8221;   Then I put my hands up to the ceiling of my art studio and said out loud, &#8220;If Mary gets the message that I&#8217;m trying to reach her, I&#8217;ll believe in God.&#8221; <span id="more-204"></span>The phone rang an hour later and it was Mary and all I could say was &#8220;Oh my God, oh my God!&#8221;</p>
<p>Part 2:  Same best friend and this time I was feeling stressed about seeing her.  I was not wanting to.   I was visiting New York for the weekend to attend a Graphic Artist&#8217;s Guild convention.  I said to my husband Fred, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to call Mary, it was very stressful last time and I&#8217;d just like to go to the convention and fly home.&#8221;  &#8221;Fine&#8221;, he said as we entered a taxi.  We told the cabby to go to SoHo to a special shop Mary had showed us when we were visiting a few years before.  No sooner had I gotten out of the cab when I heard Mary&#8217;s voice calling out to me, &#8220;You were in New York and you weren&#8217;t going to call me!&#8221;</p>
<p>What were the chances, percentages, or probability that we could be in the most over populated city in the world and bump into each other that way and that day?!</p>
<p>Part 3:  Mary died of anorexria and complications from pneumonia.  A year went by and I was sitting in my living room realizing it was Mary&#8217;s birthday.  I spoke out into the empty room &#8220;Mary, I almost forgot to wish you a happy birthday&#8230;So Happy Birthday!   If you can move something to let me know you heard me, move something.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just then, at that exact moment, a horrible crash sounded from the back of the house&#8230;I rushed into the bathroom where a huge sea shell filled with soaps had fallen into the bathtub.  It had been there for years and had never moved nor been moved.  I looked all around for my cat, but he was upstairs.</p>
<p>Mary and I had, and probably <em>still </em>have, a very special relationship.</p>
<p><em>Stephanie&#8211;Maui, Hawaii</em></p>
