Six Degrees Shifts to the Heart with Yael and Doug Powell

Yael Powell began meditating as part of her ministerial training many years ago. For over forty years she has had a daily communion with God that she has faithfully recorded. She stands in the tradition of Hildegard von Bingen and other mystics who found God’s loving voice through experiences of great suffering transformed into Love. In 1983 Yael was diagnosed with a painful progressive disease of the spine. She was in excruciating physical and emotional pain, a true dark night of the soul that ended the active life she had known. In her darkest moment, she called out to God for help. “Suddenly I began to be lifted to a place of great beauty, of sparkling light, and I was filled with an amazing energy that felt like dancing golden rain. I felt the loving presence of God.” Each day Yael began to receive beautiful visions during meditation which gave her strength and the courage to live in her painful physical condition. She faithfully recorded these experiences with her words, becoming “the pen in God’s hand.” These Messages continue to this day and fill over 100 spiral bound notebooks and a large number of tapes. In 1986 after her marriage to Doug Powell, the God Messages intensified and began unfolding the SoulMate teaching, new to the planet, and their path of service as SoulMates. The Messages helped Yael and Doug grow through Yael’s release of a childhood of incest and pain, the loss of a child and through the challenges that disability can bring to a marriage. They grew as a couple from ego-relating to a heart-centered relationship. In 1999 Yael and Doug moved from the center of Eureka Springs (AR) out to “the lake” and under God’s direction, formed their spiritual center, Circle of Light, in a magnificent setting. They are ministers in their own wedding chapel and share the Messages from God and their experiences through workshops and the Say “Yes” to Love series of books (Circle of Light Press), as well as through CD’s, DVD’s and websites.
