...I found myself uncontrollably crying while driving on the Interstate, late one night, begging God to show me a sign. I believe that the impossible is possible, but I felt like I was embarking on the impossible, and that sadly, it would not be possible. I drove for miles and miles, with nothing, no sign. I thought to myself, how silly to ask for a sign, and I quickly plummeted into doubt and despair.

My Defining WooWoo Moment A major defining, woowoo leap in my spiritual growth came from a dream I had a few months after my cat, Leroy, passed away. I was still grieving, although I had already begun receiving messages and signs from him. I knew he was ‘around’. The dream, however, made me realize that energy is everywhere – and that I needed to pay attention to my growing awareness. In this dream, I found myself walking into my ‘home’; it didn’t really look like my current place – yet there were components of my childhood home, some furniture looked familiar and it felt like a safe haven. The radio was playing; it was a bit dark inside the room and kind of hard to see clearly. I turned around and there was Leroy on the floor, stretching and lounging like he always did. Only, he was completely white in my dream and Leroy in-life was black with strategically placed white splotches. In my head I thought, “Well, it’s Leroy but he just looks different.”

are not on the same frequency. Our energies differ in that I’m alive in this 3D reality while Leroy is…ether, nonphysical, light energy. That’s it. We are both here and now – only the frequency has changed! From there on, I began to research books and the internet to find everything I could to explain energy. Leroy has always served as a ‘CATalyst’ for me – leading me into new ways of understanding. I found the book, Frequency by Penney Peirce, a helpful resource explaining the frequency of energy which comprises everything from color to emotions to light. I believe I was inspired by my dream, and my furry enlightened one, to further explore the realm of Energy. I ended up taking Alice’s Energy Healing Certification Program, bringing Reiki Healing into my energy knowledge-base. There is no escaping energy, for everything has to do with a form of energy. It is more than just the calories you burn when you read this article. You are reading this article because your energy led you here in one way or another: Like attracts like.
Then I noticed the radio transmission got all wonky. It was losing its signal, like it I believe there are no accidents in life needed to be tuned in. There was just and that we are all connected in some way. Each and every experience leads to all this white noise. more awareness and expanded “It’s not on the same frequency”, I consciousness. Welcome your woo-woo thought. And then it hit me. Leroy and I and see where it takes you.

The Cemetery Visit I drove home to New Jersey on Friday, October 21, 2011 for the funeral of Anna, my friend’s sister, who died of breast cancer at 48. She was buried in a mausoleum the next day. On Sunday I visited my aunt and uncle who knew Anna through her father who used to cut their son’s hair. My cousin died at 40 of liver failure. I mentioned the mausoleum and my uncle said my cousin was buried in the same cemetery. I had never been there so he offered to take me. I quickly replied yes without thinking. My cousin called my uncle that she was at the cemetery visiting her mother’s grave. I had not seen my cousin in a
By Maribel Figueroa long time so thought what luck that she was there. My aunt had died a few months before my cousin from injuries suffered from a fall. They are buried facing each other in parallel rows. When we arrived, the first tombstone to the left caught my eye because it had my last name. My uncle confirmed it was not a relative’s grave. My aunt and uncle continued walking straight towards their son’s grave. Then I was inexplicably drawn to a tombstone several rows further to the left and walked toward it. My ex-husband’s last name was on it along with the names of his father and mother (with no end date) and his name, Joseph Jr., with an end date of October 31, 2005. My mind went blank but was sure it was my ex whom I had left in 1994 after two months of marriage and moved to Ohio. (continued on next page)

The Cemetery Visit (continued) I called my sister while driving home on Monday. She searched the number of the shoe store that my ex’s family owned. At first, I asked her to call and pretend she was me but knew I had to make the call. A man answered and I knew it was his brother but could not remember his name. He was very cordial and said Joe was in a fire that burned 80% of his body. He died after two weeks. His father had died in January
By Maribel Figueroa 2011 but mother was still alive. I had a crying fit after ending the call. I told my ex I was sorry he had suffered and thanked him for reaching out to me. My cousin was right, I needed closure and felt such a release after crying. That night I asked that his brother’s name come to me in my dreams and it did. I hope to visit them the next time I go to Jersey.
My True Awakening
By Teresa Craine Saba
I guess I could say I've had wonderful experiences with Angels all my life. By age 5, I was waking to find myself "floating" with them. I recall looking back at my physical body, seeing a silver thread, and having the most wonderful feeling of love all around me. Back then I saw them; they spoke to me during these states and I couldn't wait to float again. The experiences went away as I fell into what our Bible calls "sleep." It wasn't until about 3 years ago, at 42 that I feel I had my true awakening into what I now call my "reality world." (continued on next pages)

My True Awakening (continued)
By Teresa Craine Saba
Although I knew intuitively they were still there with me, I didn't see them again for some time. I lay across my bed one cold winter's day, heart broken from the break up with a man I had truly adored. It had happened suddenly and without any warning: he came to me and said "I just can't do it." I had felt such a very deep connection to this man that it never crossed my mind he would walk. Just as this break up had been abrupt, so was the Angels taking over that day. I lay there sobbing in hurt and pain, asking my Creator to take it all as I couldn't go on. All at once, I fell into what I now know to be a deep meditative state. My Angels gave me very specific instructions. It surprised me to experience "someone" that was speaking within me. My physical vessel was the observer of the whole process. As I watched, I still heard the cars and birds outside, yet, someone else in me was doing the work. I've come to know this was my beautiful soul awakening to take charge. The Angels told me to roll over as they needed me on my stomach. They had
Page 8
healing work to do on myself and my chakras, they said. "Chakras?" I thought, "What are they?" Again my spirit took over and rolled my body over. I lay there every bit of two hours, knocked out, yet aware. As they worked, my body began to vibrate at such a high rate, I felt my true being come out of my body again. My thought was, "I'm doing it again, after all this time, I'm doing it!!" Excited and fearful all at once, I heard the Angels tell me, "Repeat after us, 'I am the way, the truth and the life.'" I heard my spirit repeat these things, then immediately the man that had just ripped my heart out in my reality world appeared. (continued on next page)
This WooWoo Life
My True Awakening (continued) He held his hand out and as I took his hand, the vibration was so intense we were both shaking. The Angels then said "It is done," and I heard in my inner hearing a noise I can only compare to a gas stove igniting. Before me was the sacred heart flame. I had no understanding of what this was, or what it meant. I watched with this man holding my hand as the flame slowly pulled away. I was dropped back to my vessel and for the next few hours walked around my house amazed at the information and wisdom that I received that I call a "massive download." I suddenly got it, the whole plan. I had information in me that showed me the other side of the story. The man that broke my heart is my twin flame. He came into my life to
By Teresa Craine Saba
break me down, so that I could be built back up. What I once viewed as horrible was now a gift only a twin could give me. He awakened me, with the help of my beautiful angels. I have seen him a few times in the physical since then, and I just smile, not sure if he remembers the experience. What I am sure of is that what he gave me that day is perfect, unconditional love. He found what I had missed for so many years: the way to connect me back with my Angels. What is more perfect than that? Sometimes you have to stop thinking so much and go where your heart takes you.

Was I Saved by an Angel? Growing up Catholic on the island of Trinidad, of course I heard a lot about angels. Grown-ups would tell us that we could ask angels to help us do well in our studies, or to protect us when we were out with our friends. I thought this was all, well, woo-woo. And those people who called themselves angel workers who claimed to bring healing with the help of angelic allies? Very woo-woo. The older I got, the less I believed in all this talk of angels.

Suddenly, a large, looming figure appeared. I’m talking a really big guy. I am not sure why—it could have been that my vision was fuzzy from a mix of blood and dirt—but I couldn’t see a face. All I could see was a large being in jeans and a sweatshirt pull my attacker off me, and fling him aside like Then one afternoon, an angel taught me a he was a bag of beans. As he helped me lesson. I was walking from my graduate up, a charge of electricity surged through school in Newark, New Jersey, to a nearby me, and all he said was, “Run.” Not a loud train station to head home.

Was I Saved by an Angel? (continued) The days that followed, a few things happened that seemed almost inexplicable. First, all my belongings, including my student visa IDs, that had scattered all over one of the busiest streets in Newark, were returned to me perfectly intact by someone who didn’t leave a name or expect a reward. And, after a couple of days of my doctors expressing concern about some of the deep cuts on my face and legs, saying that scarring would be extensive, the scars healed phenomenally quickly. You couldn’t tell from looking at me that I had experienced the most traumatic event of my life. The day I returned home, I entered my apartment building on crutches, and one of the women who worked in the management office saw me, and asked

what happened. I told her everything. Her response: “Don’t you know? That was an angel. An angel saved you.” And as she said that, I felt the same charge of electricity I had experienced when the “really big guy” had helped me. Could it be true? Had I been helped by an angel? Whatever the truth, I became fascinated with angels, researching them, and finding myself intrigued that almost every indigenous culture shares the concept of an angelic ally. After a few years of reading and learning about angels, guess what? I became an angel worker myself, helping other people feel happier and healthier with the help of angelic allies. Yes, I know, so woo-woo— but I’m totally fine with that.

Hi, I’m Sarah, and I’ve Gone WooWoo! I’m accustomed to introducing myself as: “I am Sarah and I am an addict”, a grateful recovering addict at that so it feels fitting to start like this. 10 years ago I found a 12 step program which filled the void in my life, one that was painful, ugly and downright lonely. Prior to arriving in recovery I had no understanding of what a spiritual awakening was. I had been limited to the constricting views of my childhood church.

I found myself uncontrollably crying while driving on the Interstate, late one night, begging God to show me a sign. I believe that the impossible is possible, but I felt like I was embarking on the impossible, and that sadly, it would not be possible. I drove for miles and miles, with nothing, no sign. I thought to myself, how silly to ask for a sign, and I quickly plummeted into doubt and despair.
What I have found is that spiritual awakenings take on many, many forms and in my own spiritual journey I have had more spiritual awakenings that I can recall. Each awakening has been profound but presented in various ways: some have been small, unassuming ways while others have been big bolts of lightning.
As I continued down the barren, dark stretch of highway I felt completely alone. And then everything changed. I arrived at this bizarre, small stretch of road that was being completely remodeled, at 11pm. BIG bright fluorescent lights blinded my eyes and new asphalt aroma filled my nostrils as construction trucks steamrolled freshly laid cement. Then, BOOM I got it!

Surprisingly Blunt for, Well, Someone Who’s Dead By Daniel Brenton I see dead people. Everywhere. (No. Not really.) The first time I communicated with someone who had left the plane of the living it honestly didn't come as much of a surprise. I was, in a sense, primed for it. Dozens of times I'd watched the tears filling the eyes of audience members of John Edward's Crossing Over, members who were convinced that John had made connection with departed loved ones. Or, closer to home, the time I sat with my wife in a private session with a local psychic medium, and felt my wife's hand clench around mine as we received a what she felt to be an authentic, incharacter message from her father who had passed many years before. The surprise was that it was me doing it. It was a mid-August evening in 2008, the day I had learned a friend of mine, Ron Lewison, had died from injuries sustained in an auto accident. Ron was a fellow member of Toastmasters International, and I first met him in early 2003, after I had placed third in an area-level humor speech contest. Shortly after, he became a mentor to me in competitive speaking, and helped coach me to a first place win at the highest level of the same speech category in the spring of 2004. Ron was a burly, retired oil industry consultant, and public speaking had become his life. He delighted in specialty Toastmaster clubs (he was the member of several) and was also an
affiliate member of the National Speakers Association. I sat with him on a Saturday at the awards luncheon of a Toastmaster convention when he received the 20032004 District 33 Mentor of the Year Award. I recall seeing this normally reserved, no-nonsense gentleman had been touched by the experience as he returned to the table, holding the plaque with his name inscribed, and I remember him regarding the plaque and quietly uttering, with a touch of awe, "This is cool." That mid-August night, with Ron's death in the background of my thoughts, I settled down to sleep and slowly recognized there was an extremely strong presence near the foot of my bed. Naturally it had my attention, but the reactions provoked by this mystery presence were more feelings of surprise and wonder than any sense of unease. I could see nothing, but as I listened inside, the presence resolved into personality. When we think of someone we know well, we have a set of mental and emotional "adjectives" that make up our picture of the person in question, and as the impressions of my visitor became clearer, it finally came into focus: I was being visited by the spirit of Ron Lewison. (Continued on next page)

Surprisingly Blunt for, Well, Someone Who’s Dead (cont.) By Daniel Brenton Perhaps unwittingly, I slid into a clichÊ response. All I could think of to say to him was, "Ron, everything will be fine. Go into the Light, Ron. Go into the Light." (As superficial as it may sound, I believed that. I still do, actually.) I repeated this several times, and then he interrupted me. I didn't hear this in words, but perceived it in feelings and impressions -- strong ones -- that lent themselves to words. The intent of what he was conveying was very clear. He said: shut up and listen to me. (Surprisingly blunt for, well, someone who's dead.) And I "listened," eventually piecing together what he was trying to communicate. Ron had been interested in learning more about the techniques of standup comedy, and back in 2004 he had expressed a desire for the two of us to work with each other to this end, using the lessons in what's become something of the "Bible" for beginning comedians, Judy Carter's Stand Up Comedy: The Book.
What Ron was trying to tell me, that mid-August night, was that he regretted that we hadn't done this. I must confess that I am as much at fault as either of us in that we didn't pursue it. If I had, I probably would have become a better speaker; certainly a better speaker while Ron was still with us. This wasn't the only thing he had to say to me, but of what he had come to convey it was the most important. Though I've had some success in communicating with the dead, I won't be hanging up a "psychic medium" shingle anywhere, any time soon. I've only been able to communicate with those I've known personally, and this, frankly, is enough. So, no, I really don't see dead people. Anywhere. But I talk with them sometimes.

But, we were also leaving for our daytrip....me, trying to be all organzied, decided to program the washer to go off eight hours later...and when I opened the tray to put the laundry soap in, I noticed a teeny bit of standing water in it....and made the grave error of pointing this out to my EXTREMELY sleepdeprived husband, who happens to be a manufacturing engineer.

Something even told my husband to shut down operations for the timer I had set on the washer; that thought even crossed my mind....
