I Am Light

By April M. Leverton

While digging palaces in the dirt as a childmotivated by her sister, who only wanted to be free of caring for the younger siblingApril Leverton learned how to use the power of her mind early in life. Unfortunately, she forgot and abandoned these powers, as many of us do. Conditioned by her upbringing, she sought to relieve others of pain by taking on pain herself. She believed cruel words from a teasing brother, who consciously meant no harm. Words emit power to go deep into our cells. Patterns were set, and she journeyed through a few personal hells and back until the light that is within all of us began to shine for April again.

For any of you who are suffering or who are told there is no cure, no medicine, no pills, or surgery to ease chronic pain and debilitating or even terminal diseases, turn these pages and discover for yourself the power of belief and the ability to induce self-healing. Dr. Bernie Siegel says what April has discovered for herself, Life is a miracle, and we need to not fear trying to achieve our potential and reveal the remarkable creation we and all living things are and that our Creator has built into us the ability to induce self-healing.

Follow April as she journeys through her life to find and use the power that we all hold if only we believe. She eliminates fear and welcomes every moment of life. She shares her own discoveries, providing you the simplest road map for you to take and make your own healing journey. Use the power of your mind to create the health you want and also your dreams. April shows how thought patterns created illness and how she used her mind to eradicate those illnesses. Incurable is a word that has no meaning to April.

INTRODUCTION FROM THE AUTHOR

I sit down looking at the lined pages wondering where to begin. How to reveal to you what I know.

Outside the kitchen window a plane races across the endless summer sky. White streaks cut behind the frayed electrical wires etched deep against the blue skies and white clouds. The green leaves shimmer on the trees. What if this is all there is for me? A book so important yet one which no one will read. I hope I am wrong and it is only one more fear to join the others I have left behind. For I no longer allow fear to live within me, knowing the great dangers.

So here it is: how I healed my body of two incurable diseases, asthma, high blood pressure, heart palpitations and high cholesterol and healed my life as well. I understand and know now.

I know that every experience worth anything is built around something that holds us together and anchors us to accountability and choice. Alex Woodward says, Your soul is like a compass; it tells you where to go but not how to get there.

As I write, I realize that soon enough the world will know how to stop the needless suffering and dying forever.

WORD FROM THE EDITOR

From the moment we spoke on the phone, we both felt a connection. Taken by storm as a willing hostage to her story, we began the challenge to fold her amazing life into the pages of a book. Strong-willed, she had a particular way of seeing her book. Who am I to argue with a woman of such vision, she was capable of healing herself of incurable diseases? As editor and writer, we learned how to listen to each other and compromise but never on how to serve you the reader. You come first with every word and sentence. She is speaking directly to those of you who are in pain and suffering needlessly.

April Leverton is a person who takes on any storm. Born into a family not seeing their own pain, April learned the patterns of victimhood early. Destined to be a torchbearer of light and healing, the universe began calling to April with a nudge, then a whisper, moved on to a growl and finally used pain and illness to scream, Wake up to your own power.

Once the universe had her attention, she listened, learned, employed any and all means to heal. Here in this book, she shares her beginnings, her journey, her successes as if you are sharing a warm cup of tea on the deck of her lake house. Pull up a chair, sit by the fireplace in your mind and let this spark of God, April Leverton will, show you a path you can take to your own perfect health.

CHAPTER 1

Born Into Prayer.

Born a middle child to a farming couple from a small town in Alberta, Canada . I arrived the fifth child of eight. Smack in the middle four years younger than an older sister and four years older than a brother. Yes, I did suffer from the middle child syndrome. I was brought up with a strict Roman Catholic dogma and learned at a very young age that there was a God somewhere up there. I also learned that I had a special Guardian Angle on my right shoulder that guided and protected me each and every day of my life. I was taught how to pray as soon as I could speak. I have once again started repeating it again on a daily basis. Angel of God my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Every day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide, Amen.

It had a lot of meaning to me as a child. I said it out loud to my Mother each night. I did talk to that guardian angel on my shoulder. Later with all the trauma that wound its way through my life, I forgot and looked right through the angel only living and focusing on the pain and dysfunction. Now I know with all the certainty and faith of a child in each moment, I really do have a spiritual guide I can call upon for each and every moment. It’s only today that I realize how much true meaning and power that prayer really has.

I was lonely as a child and spent much of my time in the three acres of trees next to the house where I would run around exploring the beautiful trees and plants and just being me. I would pick Blue Bells and dandelion flowers and give my Mom a small bouquet almost every summer day. She would show much gratitude, put them in water and place the small vase next to a statue of the Virgin Mary. I would feel loved. Although Mom never said the words, I love you.

When I would get bored, my older sister Gail would be delegated to entertain me. She would take me to the edge of the trees and with a gardening hoe, she would carve out rooms in the dirt telling me it was my palace and what were in the rooms. I loved this adventure. It was always a new surprise. Then off she would go leaving me to play with my imagination and I would do so very intently.

I have a great imagination today and I believe this experience played a large part in its development. I loved what Gail did for me and am now filled with gratitude for those days. The funny things about siblings is she has guilt feelings about how she treated me. The most important thing was that I loved it and I felt connected to her at these times.

CHAPTER 2

Testing God

As I said I was often lonely. I would try to spend time with my too busy father who would go to the trees for a nap after lunch. I would go with him, lie down beside him, he would fall asleep and soon I would be up and running around again discovering nature.

My Dad would often leave home in the afternoon and go to the Hotel bars nearby and would drink. He would come home when the bars shut down for the supper hour. Of course, he would be drunk. The first thing he would do when he walked in the door was start verbally abusing my Mother.

I would watch the pain in her face as she did her best to try and hide her painful feelings. I noticed. I felt them all. I hated seeing her treated that way and I understood that my father was criticizing her wrongly. I hated it and would pray to God for him to stop. My prayers went unanswered. I wondered if there truly was a God and if he was there, why did he not answer my requests.

When I was about
