Straight Talk from God: Daily Guidance to Encourage, Empower and Transform

Straight Talk from God is the culmination of one woman's journey from victim to healer, from doubter to believer. Kneeling in church one Sunday in 1991, uttering a desperate plea to a God she had little faith in, Bonnie Hassan, MSW, felt the power of Divine intervention wash over her and a few short hours later her prayer was answered in an astonishing way. That experience was the beginning of a journey facilitated through Reiki (a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation and healing) that led Bonnie to a personal relationship with God and the opening of a healing practice in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2003. As her connection to the Divine continued to grow, and her intuitive gifts surfaced, Bonnie began to hear a "God Voice" in her head guiding her to pick up a pen and channel written messages for those in attendance at her group Reiki sessions. One evening, as she facilitated a group healing session in her office, Bonnie felt a strange sensation at the back of her throat, as if something was trying to escape. Hearing her God Voice say, "Just open your mouth," Bonnie did so, and a message from the Divine spilled from her lips in a spontaneous outpouring for those in attendance. God has continued to speak through Bonnie to this day, during group healing sessions and the classes she teaches. She has accumulated hundreds of channeled messages that offer guidance and direction for all those on a spiritual path, all those longing for their own intimate connection to a Higher Power and the ability to be empowered themselves. As her own connection to the Divine has grown, her intuitive gifts as a medium, channel and psychic have continued to expand. The 365 offerings in this book were chosen specifically by the Divine to provide gentle, loving encouragement in a direct and timely manner, Straight Talk from God, if you will, to touch your heart and open your mind to a deeper, more intimate and personal connection with the Creator. As you immerse yourself in this Divine wisdom, your spiritual journey will be transformed, and your relationship with God will become the greatest guiding force in your life. As one reader stated: "This book opens a pathway to God that most of us have been taught doesn't exist. The messages in this book wrap you up in love."

Bonnie Hassan, MSW, has had a private practice as a Reiki Master, medium, channel, psychic and psychotherapist since 2003. In 1991, Bonnie had a direct encounter with God after uttering a prayer in church. Unable to finish the thesis that was required for her undergraduate degree, Bonnie surrendered it to Spirit as she knelt in prayer. A warm rush of blue energy washed over her from above and she began to cry. Upon returning home, the only thing Bonnie remembers is changing her clothes and sitting at the computer. Eight hours later, she "came to" just as her 100-page thesis spilled from the printer. That answered prayer was Bonnie's introduction to an intimate relationship with the Divine that continues to this day. Since that time, Bonnie has completed her bachelor of science degree in human resource management and master's degree in social work. She became a Reiki Master in Usui/Tibetan Reiki in 2000 and followed that with master certifications in Karunä Reiki and Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki. In 2003, Bonnie saw a vision of Mary, the Blessed Mother, during her spiritual practice. In it, Mary told her, "I have work for you to do and you can't do it here." Following the guidance she received, Bonnie left her job as a therapist and opened a private healing practice in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She combined her expertise as a therapist with her training as a Reiki Master to offer unique individual healing sessions while also teaching classes in Usui/Tibetan and Karunä Reiki. As Bonnie's practice grew, her spiritual and intuitive gifts began to unfold. Bonnie was guided to offer group healing sessions in which she began spontaneously channeling messages from God. She also began teaching Transformational Reiki (a new form of Reiki combining Japanese and Native American energies) that evolved as her gifts developed. Bonnie relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in 2013 to be a hands-on grandmother to her new granddaughter, Hayden. Once there, she opened a new practice. In addition to her in-person work in Nashville, Bonnie offers a weekly healing session via teleconference to people around the world and travels extensively in the United States sharing her unique gifts with both groups and individuals. She continues to offer training in Transformational Reiki and all levels of Usui/Tibetan and Karunä Reiki. Through both her private and group healing sessions and Reiki classes, Bonnie has helped thousands of individuals develop their own intimate connection with God and find the clarity and healing necessary for their individual life journeys.
