I gave up trying to compress Lee Degani’s life into a few sentences. But I resonated with this passage in her biography:
“Whether she is working with an individual or with a group, Lee follows her higher guidance and draws on various healing modalities including Kabbalistic Healing, Sound Healing, 13 Octave LaHoChi, Color Therapy, Reiki, Quantum Touch and Energy Releasement TherapySM.”
I admire Lee’s breadth of learning, drive in all she does, and willingness to cross disciplinary boundaries to go where the search leads.
As a teacher, Lee has taught children to read blindfolded. Amazing. We post her article and video describing this remarkable facility in her young students.
The Twins’ Lesson in Consciousness

As a long time teacher, I often feel that I learn more from my students than they do from me! This was certainly the case recently with a set of 12 year old twins. These two girls are absolutely adorable and so identical it is very difficult to tell them apart! One does have a face that is a tiny bit fuller but that doesn’t help me too much. I still get them mixed up! The only way to really tell them apart is that one twin has a small birthmark on her hand.
My husband and I are preparing the girls for their joint Bat Mitzvah ceremony and see them for weekly lessons. During the ceremony they will be chanting Hebrew from the Torah which doesn’t contain any vowels. As any Bar or Bat Mitzvah student can attest to, this definitely requires diligence to master!
To make this process easier we incorporate meditative focusing exercises (1) into the lessons. The twins are always delighted that the weekly lesson becomes easier and that it has helped with schoolwork too!
So here is the “far out part.” The exercises also enable the twins to see and read blindfolded. (2) I know, sounds crazy! But we only use a fraction of our brain power. As children, no one ever taught us that we have this ability to use our Inner Light Vision rather than our physical eyes to see and read.
As in regular reading children progress at different rates with blindfold reading. One twin has advanced to reading sentences blindfolded while the other is at the level of seeing colors and shapes and occasionally words.
During this one particular lesson my husband believed he was working with the twin who could read sentences so he certainly wasn’t surprised that she was able to do so again. But halfway through the lesson he saw the birthmark and realized he had the other twin!
He immediately understood it was his consciousness that enabled this twin to read on the level of her sister! With his belief that he had the other twin, he had certain expectations of how she would perform!
Since these techniques require working with energy and different mind states, we are both certainly aware that our consciousness is a vital factor. In the past we have even seen that certain children are not able to continue reading blindfolded when a parent walks into the room. That parent’s belief system is energetically affecting the child.
But my husband’s experience providing such a concrete example has had a profound impact on both of us! It has certainly brought us to an even deeper level of awareness as to how we as teachers and parents are affecting our children.
During the next lesson, my husband told me to send him a twin but to not let him know which one I was sending!
And so it is….
