Traveling With Your Guardian Angel

I’ve traveled a lot for both business and pleasure over the years, and have encountered my share of airplane delays, lost luggage, and even sports injuries on these trips. About ten years ago, in reading spiritual articles and books, I read a suggestion to request benevolent outcomes for all the events in your life. I decided to try it out, and was amazed how PERFECTLY it worked for everything– from small requests, such as a parking spot next to a busy restaurant or a seat on a busy Paris subway, to the really important situations in my business and personal life. After having made these requests between 10,000 and 15,000 times, I am firmly convinced that our Guardian Angels are there to assist us in living more gentle lives. We just have to ask.

I request Most Benevolent Outcomes for all my trips. When it comes time to go to the airport, I say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for the drive to the airport in safety and with no delays. Thank you.” At the airport, I’ll say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome that my bags arrive safely and on time. Thank you.”

David in St. Louis related how he requested a Benevolent Outcome for making it through the Security check line with no problems. Just as the person ahead of him was directed into the maze, the gatekeeper closed off that path and let David be the first person to pass through the route normally used only for flight personnel through security. As he said, “that was cool!”

On a business trip back from Washington DC, I requested a Benevolent Outcome for sitting next to someone interesting. A gentleman offered to trade seats with a young lady sitting next to me so she could sit with her friend, and he turned out to be a buyer that I had not seen at the market. I was able to give him some information that will result in a sale. That’s how Benevolent Outcomes work. It is so much fun to see how your Guardian Angel makes these things happen!

I rented a car in Nice, France for the drive to Cannes on a freeway. Naturally I requested a Benevolent Outcome for the drive. A small car passed by me at 90 miles per hour. About 100 yards up the road, he lost control, spun out and bounced off the guardrail ending up straddled across two of the three lanes of traffic. Had I been five seconds earlier, I would have been in danger of being involved.

After dinner in Milan, Italy one night, I walked out to a busy boulevard, thinking I would easily find a taxi back to my hotel. All the taxis that passed were full, so after five minutes, I requested a Benevolent Outcome for a taxi. Before the words were completely out of my mouth, a taxi turned right in front of me, I signaled to him, and off we went to the hotel.

The Milan airport is a long drive outside the city, so I requested a Benevolent Outcome for someone to share my taxi at 5:00 am. The next morning when I checked out of the hotel there were no people in sight. I was resigned to paying for an expensive taxi, when in walked six doctors from the Mayo Clinic. They had hired a mini-bus to take them to the airport and invited me to join them, at no charge!

Jean from Ontario, Canada was in Seattle exploring the city by bus. She asked for a Benevolent Outcome for her ride downtown. As the driver approached the front of the Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle, a delivery truck suddenly stopped in front of him. The bus driver brought the bus safely to a stop within inches of the truck. No one was injured, and Jean was able to joke with the driver about all the paper work he had just avoided!

What are some other Most Benevolent Outcomes (MBO’s) you can request while traveling?

Australia - A Land of Natural Wonders

The huge monolith known as Uluru - formerly Ayer’s Rock - remains one of Australia’s most mysterious and beautiful natural features. Rising more than 1,000 feet above the flat red center of the continent, “The Rock” is eight miles in circumference and honeycombed with caves, displaying Aboriginal wall art. Uluru once stood at the bottom of an inland ocean, and is a spectacular sight as it changes color through the day. The sandstone it is composed of contains many minerals like feldspar which reflect shades from deep red to violet, according to the angle of the sun.

However, while Uluru is probably the most famous Australian geological wonder, it is certainly not the only one. The amazing Bungle Bungles in Western Australia are huge pillars of sandstone that look like ancient ziggurats. But nature, not man, made these orange and black striped monoliths, situated in Purnululu National Park. The black stripes are caused by lichens growing on the orange sandstone. Known to Aborigines for centuries, it remained a secret to the rest of the world until the 1980s, when the stunning rock formation was spotted from the air.

The Devil’s Marbles in the Northern territory are another example of Australia’s geological diversity. The “marbles” are huge roughly hewn ovoid boulders piled on top of one another, some seemingly defying gravity, poised like eggs balancing on end. Made of coarse granite, the marbles have gained their shape by constant weathering.

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the few geological wonders that can be seen from space. A spectacular 161 square miles of coral reef, it stretches from New Guinea down the Queensland Coast. Dotted with coral islands, the reef is the largest structure ever built by living creatures. These tiny polyps leave their skeletal remains behind, forming stretches of coral reef.

Nullabor means, literally, no trees, and the Nullabor Plain between Adelaide in South Australia and Perth in Western Australia lives up to its name. It is a vast 155,000 mile flat desert that drops with frightening suddenness into the Great Southern Ocean. There are no towns or permanent habitations on the Nullabor Plain - and definitely no trees.

Wave Rock is a stunning formation in Western Australia that looks like a breaking wave on land. The smooth curve of the rock was believed to be caused by water erosion. Around 500 million years old, the wave shape was formed by granite flowing in molten form.
