Welcome
to my website. I'd like to tell you a little about
myself and my adventures as I have traveled my spiritual path. Believe me, no one is more surprised than I to have the experiences I have had since 1995. I never had any religious affiliation growing up and no particular attraction to the spiritual or the paranormal as an adult. I guess you could say I was pretty skeptical about the whole thing. I am still not one to take someone else's word for what is and what is not. I learn through exploration and experimentation. And by now, I have personally experienced so much, that my world view has radically changed. I now accept things as normal that I once thought ridiculous--or even crazy. And what a blessing that has been! But then, I've been a late starter in many ways. I started studying voice in my thirties (I wrote my first song at 38). I took up the piano in my forties. And I was in my fifties when I wrote my first poetry, got serious about songwriting, and then set out upon my spiritual journey. How It Began I have been led by spirit, rather than actively seeking. In fact, I have often resisted quite strongly. But in spite of myself, one day I found myself in a bookstore, for some unknown reason walking down the Religion & Spirituality aisle I had always avoided, hoping no one would see me there. I pulled out a book called You Are Psychic, by Pete Sanders, immediately sat down in the aisle and started reading. Again hoping no one would notice at the checkout stand, I bought it, took it home and devoured it in one sitting. And thus began my adventure into spirit, as I tried out the exercises and discovered a latent talent for being a spiritual messenger.
I began to sit in the garden every morning, ask questions and get
answers from what I called "my angels." I then began getting
me
I'd like to make a side note for those of you unfamiliar with channeling or who connect it with some of the very dark and scary messages about doom and gloom you sometimes see on the internet. The voice I hear is not an external voice; it is just like my thinking, except that it feels different to me and, of course, says things much wiser than my thoughts have ever been. The messages are also relentlessly positive. They are all about oneness and connection and about becoming our best selves. I welcome you to accept them in any spirit you care to, anywhere from the voice of God to that subconscious aspect of ourselves. For after all, the main message is that we are all one, and in the end, there is no separation between Quado and me, or you. Quado is pronounced KWAH - doe, with a soft 'ah'. You can read all about my meeting with Quado and our first year or so together in my book, There is a Garden. I also wrote the songs of my CD, "It's Personal", during the same time period covered in the book. (You will now find everything related to my music on my other site, www.carriehart.com.) In 1999, I began getting up at 4 AM to receive and post my daily conversations with Quado out on this website before going to work. I would wrap a blanket around me, grab my journal and go sit on this bench before dawn. I loved listening to the birds wake up the world just as the sky brightened. The messages you will receive in Quado's Garden are from that experience. Spiritual Healing and Running Wolf I have Quado readers who have been traveling on this path with me for these many years and I am grateful for their company and loving support. In 2001, one of the Quado readers wrote and asked me to do a spiritual healing. I was about to say that I did not do this, when a powerful Native American shaman named Running Wolf appeared in my mind and began to heal her. I then found I was able to access Quado at the same time, enabling me to share a transcript of the healing session with her. I might mention that I had no knowledge of shamans before one appeared in my mind, just as I had never heard of channeling before I started doing it. What an adventure it has been! Here's what she wrote me about the remote healing which we performed:
Since that time, I have performed hundreds of spiritual healings, first as an apprentice to Running Wolf, and then as a full shaman. The healing sessions began with the shaman techniques of power animal and soul retrievals and then expanded to include other healing modalities, such as past life regressions and whatever else spirit brought to us at the time. Although I am no longer offering healing sessions in the shaman tradition, I did create a website, www.PowerAnimalsUnleashed.com to allow you to find your own power animals without me as an intermediary. You will find Running Wolf's energy there, as you enter the enchanted forest and then use your intuition to select just the right power animal to empower and energize all of the special occasions of your life. Buddha and Jesus
In June, 200 I saw a golden ball floating in the air above us, in the very center of the circle. within it was a young and beautiful Buddha, sitting in the lotus position, one hand raised in blessing, glowing golden and showering his radiant energy down upon us all. (I have since learned that this position is the Amoghasiddhi Buddha, symbolizing freedom from fear.) I then saw Jesus moving among us, in a robe of blue and white, weaving through the kneeling initiates, touching us and blessing us, one by one. When he touched me, I felt the most pure and intense love I have ever experienced. A Hindu friend subsequently told me that this experience of receiving unconditional love through the touch of a master is called Shaktipat. The peace and love I felt in that moment has never completely left me, and I find myself now continually blessed, with Buddha still glowing gold above me, and Jesus standing beside me, his right hand always on my left shoulder. This was my first experience with
Jesus, and I found it very surprising. I was not raised in a religious
household and I had never formed a Christian connection with Jesus. But it
has happened that this was not my last such experience with Jesus; quite the
contrary. I have
As with all of these experiences, I invite you to take them in whatever way you care to, as metaphor or more literally. I have no further explanation except what I have felt, seen and heard. And one of the things that I saw was a vision that you may find interesting.
Quado Meditations Many of the messages I received and posted took the form of brief meditations, which my readers urged me to record. When I approached Quado with this idea, I received a series of full-length meditations, which I have recorded and made available to you on this site. These meditations have proven to be another wonderful way to share this gift I have been given and I have received excellent feedback on the results of using them.
I strongly urge you to take up the practice of daily meditation in one form or another. If you prefer mantra meditation or quiet contemplation of your breath, wonderful. If you are like me, and your mind is so busy that it needs to be given something to follow, then I recommend the meditations you will find on this site. Meditation will transform your life in miraculous ways. The meditations on this site require only that you relax and listen. It couldn't be easier -- or more powerful!
Music Singing is my great love, my passion. I recorded two albums and am now working on my third. My first album was a playful blues album, very expressive of that period of our lives when we are deeply focused in romance and the sensual, physical expression of love. My second album was my self-discovery expedition, exploring the various sides of myself. Because it was my own internal journey, I called it "It's Personal," but it proves the rule that the more personal something is, the more universal it truly becomes.
In the third album, I am fulfilling a mission I was given, to produce music that will allow people to more easily access spirit. I am delighted that my first effort in fulfilling this mission, my recording of "Ave Maria (Here I Am)", has received over 30,000 downloads to date. I have continued along the same path with "The 23rd Psalm (You are My Shepherd)", taking a beautiful classic melody to open the heart and then words that leave room for whatever your personal spiritual beliefs may be. Please visit my other website, www.carriehart.com, to learn all about my music and download tracks.
Speaking/Performing I have developed a one-woman show, "The Courage of the Creative Spirit," an inspirational talk in an entertaining format. I tell stories of how the icons of musical theater had to overcome hardship, failure and rejection in order to reach their pinnacles of success, and after each story, I sing songs from their musicals. It has been very well received when I have performed it. If you have a group, a corporation, or a conference seeking inspiration and entertainment, I hope you will contact me. Please go to www.carriehart.com to learn more about this show.
My Family I live in the Los Angeles area with Ed, my husband of over thirty years. We share our home with Oscar, an orange tabby mouser who appeared at a gas station, little, lost and alone, in response to my wish for a cat. And now that wish has been fulfilled many times over, as we have been joined by lovely Sara, a little Manx who appeared hungry and pregnant at the back door, and then blessed the household with her five new-born kittens. Ed and I just didn't have the heart to give them away, so here we all are! Click here to see all the family, including the cats. Ed has been marvelously accepting of my many transformations, from computer programmer, to corporate executive, to singer/songwriter, to spiritual messenger and healer, to one who is now going to combine it all into a speaking career. He is also the one who patiently packs and ships your book and CD orders. His deeply original sense of humor has seen us through the challenges of thirty years together. I had been collecting Ed's funny sayings for years, on cocktail napkins and scraps of paper, and I finally compiled a book with many of my favorite "Edisms". Here is one of my favorites:
If you decide to read Edisms Revealed, expect to laugh out loud, but don't expect spiritual enlightenment.
Thank you for visiting our website. Welcome to our world!
Love & peace, Carrie
Dear Quado Readers,
A few years ago, I was given a vision. I am sharing it with you here, because so many of the Quado messages refer to the view contained in this vision, and it may help clarify your understanding of what Quado is saying.
Love & Peace, Carrie
Tuesday, October 17, 2000 This morning, about 8:00 AM, I went down to the garden to meditate. I sat and breathed deeply, and suddenly had this vision, in my mind. At various times I wanted to stop and question and analyze, but I was directed to just observe and experience, to feel and to know.
I saw a level higher than we are, where I existed only as a great ball of light and energy. And with me, close by me, were all of the other people I have ever been close to, as well as others I was close to in past lives and others I have yet to meet in this life. There were people I have brushed by in this life, liked immediately, but we didn’t really pursue the relationship. There were old lovers and friends. There were the people I might have had as children in this life, but did not. And we were all connected in great joy and love.
My father was there, right next to me, and his love was so strong. My mother was there on the other side of me, and her love was equally as strong. And I cried, deeply, to feel it, to know that my father is still with me, and to know that my mother and I truly love each other, even though we did not show it in this life.
And I could feel so strongly that nothing is lost, ever. It doesn’t matter that a love affair or friendship ended badly. On this level, you are still together in love. All is love, and nothing is ever lost.
And we were all up there watching the action down here, with great love but also with detachment. Oh, look, you actually just walked right by me and out of my life. Oh, well, maybe next life we’ll finally get it right!
We had no regret, because nothing is ever lost. We had no worry, because there is no end to time, no end to the number of chances.
And I sensed that we created ourselves, from up there as what I will call the soul self, down into this existence here, into the physical self. And there was a strand of light that reached down from each of us into our physical selves below, that was our life energy and connection. And the space through which the strand ran was misty, shadowy and obscure, and the strands were sometimes tangled and twisted, so that the light and energy reaching the physical person was sometimes slight. The people in pain and confusion had very little light flowing down to them; the people in joy and happiness had a strong flow of energy.
And I sensed that what we need to do is to strengthen that connection, make it as strong and straight as possible. And that this, then, is self-love. Self-love is that connection to your soul self that is all joy and love. And healing other people is helping them to straighten out their connections to their own soul selves. And that if everyone had a perfect connection, we would all be as full of joy and love as our soul selves above.
And then I was back up with the soul selves, and suddenly went up a level higher, where everything was one bright light, without any individual differentiation. And I felt that we are all existing on all of these levels at once: in the blended universal light, the great oneness; as separate soul selves of light and energy a level below; and as people here in the physical level, with bodies, minds and personalities.
And from this perspective, it doesn’t matter at all exactly what you do in this physical life, if you choose to be a dancer or a janitor or an accountant. If you’re rich or poor. There was no right or wrong or judgment about our physical activities at all.
And the psychic powers made sense, because up at that higher level, you are one with everyone, and know everything. So psychic powers are a by-product of strengthening your attachment to that higher self that is one with all else.
And manifestation made sense, because I sensed that my physical self is the creation of my soul self. I am truly my own creation. And the closer and stronger I can make my connection with my soul self, which is pure power, the more I can manifest my life. Because at some level, I am in the process of creating this life as it unfolds. I am my own god.
And then, I saw more. Then I saw that my soul self was not only creating this physical life, but many lives simultaneously, and at that level there is no linear time, and the so-called past lives are all playing out at once. And some of the tangling of the strands is caused by this, and karma is really just an untangling and straightening out.

Quado, do you have anything you wish to add to this, as I put it out on the website? Yes, yes. I wish to add the caveat which I always add: this is metaphor. It is a beautiful metaphor, it is a valid metaphor, but it is not literal truth. There is no literal truth that you will receive, from me or anyone else, for things go far beyond your ability to understand them.
This is a wonderful metaphor to help you understand how to live your life. Live it with compassion, knowing that not all are receiving the great flow of light as clearly as you may be. Life it with love for yourself, knowing that in your soul essence you are love, light, joy, and a great, great peace. Live it with responsibility, knowing that you are creating yourself in every moment of every day.
Try to help others see their own light, not yours, for this is how happiness is found. All healing is done from the inside out. All connection must first be a connection up into your own soul self. And all love begins with love for yourself.
Your first and most important job is that, to heal yourself, to love yourself, to open up the flow and connection with your soul self. To shine a light so brightly that it helps light up the darkness all around you. To shine so brightly with love and joy, that the darkness of fear and doubt have no choice but to recede. And then, to reach all the way up, to the very top level, where you can feel the great oneness, the great silence, and know that in the end, at the highest and widest, you and I are the same, one and the same.
Do not ask why, for there will be no answer forthcoming. Do not focus on the details and particulars. Instead, focus on strengthening your connection, on bringing joy and love and peace down into your life, every moment of every day. Focus on the oneness, focus on the joy, reach up and lighten your burdens through that joyous connection.
This is the answer to all of your questions. . |

2, I went to England to complete
my studies in Reiki. I knelt on the grass in the center of Stonehenge, one
of twenty, kneeling in a circle within the stone circle, there to receive my
initiation as a Reiki Master. I closed my eyes, and the ceremony began.
