What’s going on for November 2018?

Occasionally I use this space to speak up. Since November has Thanksgiving Day It’s a great reminder about being thankful. I’m taking pause to share, about what is going on and how I feel and its impact. I’m not seeing or hearing a lot of positive, wonderful things happening. I can hardly watch the news any more. Plus one of our contributors has indicated that he feels the earth is suffering energetically. Is that why the weather is out of control?

I’m sharing two quotes from Abraham Hicks in hopes that will give you time to pause. You know that “thoughts are things” and we can energetically make a change. And our contributor Tom T. Moore is also asking that we do a “Most Benevolent Outcome” to help earth. Read these paragraphs and let’s see what we can do to help ourselves, and the world around us.

Abraham Love and appreciation are identical vibrations. Appreciation is the vibration of alignment with who-you-are.

Appreciation is the absence of everything that feels bad and the presence of everything that feels good. When you focus upon what you want - when you tell the story of how you want your life to be - you will come closer and closer to the vicinity of appreciation, and when you reach it, it will pull you toward all things that you consider to be good in a very powerful way. -Abraham Make lists of positive aspects. Make lists of things you love—and never complain about anything. And as you use those things that shine bright and make you feel good as your excuse to give your attention and be who-youare, you will tune to who-you-are, and the whole world will begin to transform before your eyes. It is not your job to transform the world for others—but it is your job to transform it for you. A state of appreciation is pure Connection to Source where there is no perception of lack. -Abraham Tom T. Moore author of the Most Benevolent Outcomes asks: Gaia is saying that we ALL need to send light and love to the Earth each day.. HELP MAKE THE EARTH A BETTER PLACE! If you have been sending light to the world each day, then please add to what you have been saying and say this out loud each morning: “I now send white light and love to every continent, every island, all the rivers, lakes and streams, and all the oceans and seas, and I release this light to go where it is needed the most to light up the darkest parts of the world, thank you.”

"We Are Nature" by Bob Frissell “Those trees are your lungs. The earth recycles as your body. The rivers recycle as your circulation. The air is your breath. So what do we call the environment?” — Deepak Chopra We are Nature, and we are Nature in the most profound way. We can’t really draw a line and stand apart from it and say “That’s Nature and this is us.” We can’t do that because we are Nature. Let me show you.

Let’s begin with air and let’s begin by following one breath. Now one percent of the air is an atom called Argon. Argon is an inert substance so it doesn’t react with anything, so you breathe it in it goes into your body, and you breathe it out so it comes right back out again. So it’s a good atom to follow, and in case you’re wondering how many Argon atoms there are in one breath. Well there are three followed by eighteen zeroes; that’s a lot of Argon!

So very quickly, everyone in your room is breathing zillions of Argon atoms in that one breath. And then suppose the door opens and out goes billions of Argon atoms that everyone breathed. It goes around the Earth and one year later, if we were to come back into that same room, every breath would have about fifteen Argon atoms from that one breath you took a year ago. So that means then that every breath we take was once in the body of Jesus, every breath we take was once in the body of the Buddha, and if you go back sixty-five million years, every breath was once in the bodies of the dinosaurs. So air is this wonderful substance; it gives us life, and it connects us to all living creatures, past and into the future.

And water? Well every one of us is at least sixty percent water by weight, so we’re basically just a big blob of water. And yes we have enough thickener added so we don’t just drivel away on the floor. And as you know, our bodies leak water; we’re losing it all the time. Yet the amazing thing is, our bodies know that. We don’t have a big gage, we don’t need one, telling us that we’re nearing empty, because our body knows exactly how much water is in it, and it’s constantly keeping that level just right.

Water covers seventy percent of the planet and it evaporates; it forms clouds and it rains over the land, and it runs into rivers and lakes. And then it evaporates, and around and around it goes. So it cartwheels all around the planet, connecting us all together just as the air does, because we are water. And that water has come from all over the planet. So whatever we do to the water, we’re doing it directly to ourselves.

How about Earth? Well the soil is what keeps us alive. We talk about how thin the atmosphere is, but the soil is just a very thin layer, and we are the Earth, we are the soil in the most profound way, because most of the food we eat is grown in the soil. So you put the food in your mouth, you take the molecules out of the food, and you make it into what we are. So we are the Earth because we’re created from molecules that plants have absorbed from the soil and we make it into our own body.

We are fire because every bit of the energy that makes us live and grow and reproduce; all of that energy in our bodies is originated as sunlight. Plants as we know, have found a way to capture this energy in the sunlight through photosynthesis. They are converting sunlight into chemical energy which is sugar, and it can be stored.

So that sugar holds the energy; and when we burn sugar we release that energy. So we eat plants and we get that sunlight captured in the plants, and it makes up our bodies.

So we are fire in the most profound way. And every bit of fire that we make, that is, outside of our bodies, every single bit of it was sunlight that was captured by plants and stored as fossil fuel, or stored as trees that we burn.

Every bit of the energy that we use, was sunlight. We are fire!

Awaken Your Soul Pathway Shift From Self to Soul by Andy Brine

Awaken Your Soul Pathway App to Guide and Support You on Your Spiritual Journey There is no doubt our spiritual journey can be challenging at times, and often it can feel as though we don't know what we are doing or where we are going. This was the reason the Awaken Your Soul Pathway app was created, in order to give people clarity and perspective on their spiritual journey. It provides a structured approach to their journey and soul pathway, and although it is not linear, the process provides people with a deeper perspective and understanding of their spiritual journey and the challenges they face along the way.

Through connecting with my spiritual journey I was able to truly understated myself which allowed me to step into who I truly was. Awakening Your Soul Pathway is the journey of awakening to Page | 11

your true self and Soul essence. Within the app, I will guide you through all the phases of your Soul Pathway so that you are able to break free from your Conditioning and Ego, Uncover Shadow aspects that lay dormant within you and Discover your unconscious Self.

The Thoughtful Psychic by Iris Waters I was watching the news yesterday. I heard about an elderly gentleman who was injured on his way to buy a Mega Millions ticket. While in the hospital, he was offered a chance to join a group of employees who had gone together to also try to win the Mega Millions, so he did and they won. What a coincidence, you might say.

Coincidences or synchronicities frequently happen in our lives. The Universe presents these opportunities to us to help us, to learn, to grow, and sometimes just to make some extra cash. Some say that there is no such thing as a coincidence. I think that maybe there is. Do you?

"The Only Person That Will Stay With You Forever" By Mama Donna Henes We have been sold a Hollywood bill of goods when it comes to romance. You know, how the handsome and suave leading man always knows exactly what to say -- just the right things at the right time in the right tone — to make his lady love swoon.

Well, the truth is that someone directs this Prince Charming incarnate. And someone – often a woman --- writes his lines for him. Lines she, no doubt, would love to hear. Wouldn’t we all?

What is more passionately romantic than a lover gazing deep into your eyes and reading the feelings and desires of your true being? This is the fantasy of an ideal lover who knows the truths of your soul and who knows exactly how to satisfy you in every way.

Unfortunately, most of us are not mind readers. It is so important to be able to ask for what we want rather than challenge our lover to intuit our feelings. Expecting someone else to know instinctively what we desire and what we need in any moment is very unfair and doomed to disappoint. It is our job to know what we want and what we like, and it is completely up to us to articulate our needs in such a way as to give them every chance of being met.

When I consult with the couples whose weddings I will officiate, I always urge them to include in their vows not only what they promise to bring to each other and the marriage, but also to ask for what they want to receive. Taking the responsibility for our own happiness and fulfillment is a great gift to give a lover who, presumably wants to please and satisfy us — or else why would we want to be with him/her anyway?

All those perfect words of comfort and devotion that we long to hear? We can say them to ourselves. Say them with feeling and meaning. We can show ourselves the attention and affection that we all crave — that we lavish on others, but never think to give to ourselves.

There is only one person in the world guaranteed to stay by our side until the day we die and that is us. So we better learn how to understand, nurture, love, honor and cherish ourselves so that we may know how to cherish and be cherished by another with no guessing games and no pressure.

Our primary love relationship has to be with ourselves. Someone once said, “In order to say ‘I love you,’ you have to be able to say ‘I.’” When we take the time know our Self intimately and embrace all the parts of our being — body, mind, heart and spirit — whole-heartedly, unconditionally, with compassion and no judgment attached, we can be a sovereign lover — not dependent and not beholden. How glorious would that be? xx Mama Donna

"The Quick Two Minute De-Stress" By Dean Fraser

I want to give you something which, although it isn’t intended as a long-term cure, presents a more instant way of just taking yourself away from a stressful situation, calming things down for yourself.

This is a method I developed in conjunction with a professional stress consultant (so thank you, Lee, for that one!), it is called The Quick Two-Minute De-Stress.

So, we find ourselves in a temporary situation where our anxiety and stress levels have risen beyond what is normal and healthy. Perhaps it’s just one of those days, one challenge after another has presented itself and we feel like we are about to go pop!

The Quick Two-Minute De-Stress 1. Sit still and close your eyes.

2. Concentrate on the colors you can see behind your eyelids, even if this is only black, no rules here.

Whatever colors you see is fine.

3. In your mind start to count slowly back from 30 to 0.

4. 30 (gap) 29 (gap) 28 (gap) 27 etc. until you slowly reach 0.

5. When you have arrived down at 0, you can open your eyes.

Many people, from all walks of life have found this simple little exercise incredibly useful. It is something I have been teaching for a good few years and everybody who has given it a go has found some benefit from it.

The beauty is it can be practiced almost anywhere at any time. I mean clearly when it is safe to do so – if you are driving please find somewhere safe to park-up first or if you are operating heavy machinery, please move away before starting The Quick Two-Minute De-Stress!

On a more serious note though, feel free to share this once you have proved to yourself it works. The more people who know about The Quick Two-Minute De-Stress the sooner we can collectively bring a little more peace into this World… https://www.audible.com/pd/B07CXBGZ8S/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0115424&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_115424_rh_us About Dean: “What do you want to do when you leave school?” This time the question came from a careers advisor at high school. Having less than eighteen months left to reside in the education system, I suppose it seemed an obvious question to ask. My reply stated I saw myself doing something creative, perhaps graphic design.

And for sure, I did. I indeed became a graphic designer for a little while.

You will notice at no time here did I suggest (even secretly to myself) that I wanted to be a paranormal investigator or indeed an intuitive healer!

It seems the Universe had other plans for me - you might call it my calling.

I can say in all honesty I categorically never consciously set out to delve into the arcane, deliberately encounter the unseen; and yet throughout all my early life the experiences given to me made what I ended up doing almost Page | 15

inevitable. Oh, for sure I resisted my destiny. For nearly a decade I did my best to live the conventional life, I never particularly managed to achieve this, but I certainly did my level best! Those in need of healing still wound their inevitable way in my direction, no matter how much I attempted to pretend not to notice.

I have always trusted we each have a calling in life, it seems my destiny found me, even if I did everything possible to avoid it for a little while! In the end I took the pathway before me into my destiny…whatever or wherever it took me, I trusted in my own ability to deal with anything, however bizarre, which came my way.

And for sure some of it turned out to be seriously bizarre…

"Self Retrieval" By Connie Wake & Susan Fiandach Self-awareness is an understanding of our thoughts, beliefs and attitudes that create the filters, our boundaries, of interpretation. The more we stretch the boundaries, the more we expand our sphere of influence, aka our reality. Our thoughts are the “play and display” of our working mind, the builder of our beliefs/attitudes/filters, resulting in our experiences…our reality.

Self-retrieval is the power of our ability to reclaim or recover our self with purposeful and intended thoughts to build our reality. It is this thoughts-are-things intending mind we can engage for our best experiences. When we find ourselves in time of internal struggle, we tend to see our world through the filter of that struggle. The mind works with us, or seemingly against us. Not to mention the physical aspects of the what the mind can do to maneuver our physical self, being aware of our responses to these times is paramount to maneuver through our emotional and mental selves.

We have all heard of the old phrase “I got up on the wrong side of the bed.” This is an age-old account of selfawareness, a way of letting those around you know that you are “just not yourself today.” If that’s as far as we go with our self-awareness, we can easily get tripped up and remain in a negative-slanted response. Through these thoughts (“wrong side of the bed” or “it’s Monday”), our beliefs/attitudes/filters will play the day out as “good, bad or ugly.” We even find ourselves foregoing the choice of thought to create another reality, and instead, employ physical remedies to do the trick.

You might feel that simply clearing your mind, grabbing your favorite stone, or smudging may do the trick and it may, but let’s explore the reality of this mind-versus-thing dilemma in a way that put the power back in awareness, a retrieval of our self in our day-to-day.

Our minds hold information from our day, our lives that we are not consciously aware of, so to “clear” your mind is not easy, nor is it a reality. Awareness of our next thought that focuses on a positive intention of a person, place or thing in your life guides us away from the dismay and worry of the struggle, allowing muchneeded resting space.

Crystals or stones may be your go-to medicine, as they are beautiful pieces of Mother Earth, forged from her heart. Crystals however, do not have will to make changes. While they possess earth energy, they are a tool of focus and serve as a reminder to stay positive, loving or focused in a positive light. Know that you have more Page | 16

power in your mind than a crystal can offer. Treat them like good friends that have your back when you need a safe hug or a gentle reminder.

Smudging is an ancient form of cleaning the air, many herbs have “antiseptic” properties and were used to clean the air of disease. In bygone days, people thought that when we got sick, it was a bad or negative spirit that was “upon us” and so when they cleaned the air with this “natural Lysol” and the sickness left, the belief was set.

Smudging gets rid of bad energy. Do you need the smudge, that’s up to you to decide, but again, the bundle of herbs has no power without your thoughts and energy behind it. Also, we can literally “clear the air” of a space without being there. As energy has no boundaries, this concept is also employed in long-distance healing, so the energy of thought makes it so.

The point here is “mind is the builder” (Edgar Cayce) and that self-retrieval…or reclaiming the power of our self-awareness…is key in a “thoughts are things” reality. We can choose to continue our struggles as defined by the struggle, or “intentionally change our mind to thoughts of clearing, blessing, peace and comfort.

Tapping with Tom EFT for Addictive Cravings And An Unexpected Outcome One of the great aspects of EFT is that it can treat addictive cravings, no matter what the craving is.

Recently one of my clients was dealing with a sugar addiction and wanted to get over it. Because everything is energy, vials containing distilled water and alcohol, can be imprinted with the energetic signature of the Page | 18

substance. If the substance is an “energy toxin”, it will have a negative effect on your energy system. This affect can be detected using Kinesiology also known as energy testing or muscle response testing. It’s actually testing the muscle’s response to energy and I use a person’s arm to do the testing by gently pushing down on the arm to determine if the muscle remains strong or goes weak. Energy toxins will make your energy system weak and therefore muscle will test weak while holding the substance to be tested over your thymus.

I have a vial for sugar and one for sugar mix so I asked her to hold both of them over her thymus. She had an interesting verbal response. She said, “I like this and don’t want to give it up” giggling like a little girl. It is a reaction I have never experienced. I first treated her with a different tapping protocol know as Allergy Antidotes and made some progress, however, she still did not want to give it up when I asked her for the vials.

I then started to apply EFT to her cravings and made significant progress. When we finished tapping, she readily gave up the vial stating, “I don’t want this anymore”. 2 weeks later, she reported that she still doesn’t want sugar and has not purchased one of her comfort foods, ice cream, which she reported consuming quite a bit on a weekly basis. The treatment date was August 14, 2018 and as of this writing, she is still free of the craving.

Another person was addicted to Gin Gins, a chewy ginger “candy”. She reported going through a pound of them every two days. To her, they were a comfort food and she would get anxious without them. After about 30 minutes of tapping on various aspects of her craving, she reported she no longer craved them or wanted them. I put her to the test, having her put one in her mouth. She couldn’t tolerate the taste it and spit it out. This was on September 21, 2018. As of this writing, she is still free of the craving and has not eaten a Gin Gin since.

On a very different note, a person who attended my basic EFT training workshop recently had an interesting outcome. She had never been able to straighten her ring finger on either hand when counting to 3, so when she counted to three by raising the fingers on her hand she had to skip her ring finger and use her pinky instead.

Several days after the workshop, I received an email from her saying something interesting had happened to her and that she would show me the next time we saw each other. Much to her surprise and amazement, she was able to straighten her ring finger on both hands. AND, here is the point. She was not focused on her fingers when we were tapping in the workshop! Sometimes, when people are tapping on specific issues, other issues are healed without it being obvious at the moment. This is a generalization effect. It is similar and yet different to what we in the EFT world know as Borrowing Benefits. This is when person A is not very focused on their own issue and yet tapping with person B on person B’s issue using person B’s words and person A’s issue also gets resolved.

Earth and The Science Behind Dreaming" By Sean McCleary Dreams have been a fascinating subject within the scope of the human condition, especially where the field of psychoanalysis is concerned. People have been trying to interpret dreams for a long time and discover different types of symbolism in their meaning. Through my work in metaphysics concerning the evolution of consciousness I have discovered the science associated with the process of dreaming. I do a lot of work on how light and dark energy affects consciousness and how both interact with the evolution of consciousness. The foundation for the very essence of a human being is light and dark energy. We are all a part of this and both are incorporated into the fabric of our consciousness.

The light and the dark are the foundation for life here and as soon as a human being is conceptualized and starts going through reproduction, they belong to both. Earth is also on a 24 hour rotation of day and night and continuously absorbs light and dark energy into the environment here. Living organisms also absorb light and dark energy from this cycle. Light energy comes from consciousness and higher frequency vibrations. Dark energy comes from consciousness and lower frequency vibrations. There are subatomic particles that carry and interact with the two but this is where the light and the dark come from. Universal Consciousness is very real and is incorporated into planet Earth. This is how planet Earth experiences evolution. The most powerful aspect of Universal Consciousness is the Higgs field.

The Higgs field is a universal energy field that permeates throughout the universe that interacts with other energy fields and subatomic activity. The Higgs field is connected to Infinite Consciousness and energy which this universe is contained within. The Higgs field has the highest concentration of Infinite Consciousness, this Universe's consciousness and dark and light energy. The Higgs field is like the DNA of this universe. When a human being is born they become incorporated into the Higgs field, Universal Consciousness and Earth's consciousness. Because the Higgs field is directly attached to Infinite Consciousness all life on Earth, including Earth itself is eternal.

When a human being is in the process of going about their daily activities they are absorbing light energy from the sun and Earth's environment. When night approaches and begins they start absorbing dark energy. Because light and dark energy have different frequency levels when they combine pressure is produced. The entire human body contains pressure because it absorbs and retains light and dark energy. Before the sleep cycle starts the mixture of light and dark energy from the absorption of dark energy from night creates more pressure in the body. When someone works nights and sleeps during the day the process is the same just reversed.

When the pressure starts increasing it constricts the central nervous system, causing the body to tire. When people yawn, it is actually pressure being purged out of the body. Because of the accumulation of pressure in the body, part of the natural evolutionary process is sleep. When sleep occurs what happens is pressure is being transferred out of the body slowly, while the individual sleeps. What this does is increases the concentration of light and dark energy in the human being by processing the light and dark energy that was absorbed during the waking cycle adding this to the primary concentration they already have.

The entire body is comprised of consciousness and energy, not just the brain because a human being was designed out of Universal Consciousness and energy.

The Higgs field contains all the information about the universe within its structure. Universal Consciousness is attached to planet Earth, and planet Earth is a living organism. When someone is asleep their consciousness is attached to all of this energy and activity, they are just experiencing reality on a different level. While the pressure is processing out of their bodies and dark and light energy are converging together within the body this can create an array of different imagery within the consciousness. Pressure and dark energy within the Page | 20

consciousness that contains conflict, resentment, regression, repression or anxiety can produce frightening images associated with nightmares.

The human body while sleeping is attached to the Higgs field which is attached to world consciousness. An individual can experience states of awareness while asleep that deal with certain aspects of the human experience within world consciousness, nature or other environmental factors causing them to see things in a relaxed state while absorbing energy from the Higgs field contained within world consciousness. When the actual dreaming process occurs what happens is light and dark energy are in an active state of processing through evolutionary activity and when this energy is in powerful motion while processing it activates the consciousness, precipitating the dream cycle.

Light energy is associated with love, warmth, compassion, enlightenment, intimacy and picturesque beauty.

Dark energy is associated with power, determination, deep satisfaction, fulfillment and mysterious beauty.

Pressure contained within dark energy can represent different types of fear associated with obscurity within the consciousness. All of these aspects of consciousness and energy produce different images and effects during the sleep cycle which result in dreaming. Dreaming is an interesting and fascinating addition to the evolution of consciousness, and this is the science behind dreaming.

About Sean: I've been writing extensively in Metaphysics for about six years now. The primary reason that started me on this literary endeavor was when I heard about the shift in consciousness. I have always sought out and tried to incorporate spirituality in my life to enhance my experience here. I guess you could say I've been an explorer of divinity. In 2010 I saw the photograph taken by NASA of the cross in the core of the Whirlpool galaxy. In 2012 I heard about the discovery of the Higgs boson. I knew there was a correlation between the two and the shift in consciousness that I had been researching and writing about. Since that time I've have utilized different aspects of subject matter pertaining to science and divinity to formulate important and powerful conclusions on what philosopher Thomas Kuhn referred to as the Paradigm shift. I have just finished a book called "Earth's Miracle through the Paradigm shift" which I am seeking publication now. I feel as though my unique approach in writing have defined the shift in consciousness in a very spectacular way, that can appeal to a broad range of audiences considering the diversity of the subject matter I include in my conclusions.

"Energy and Empaths" By Michelle Howe

The awake Empath out there is quite aware of the word ENERGY. First, let me talk a little about the word ENERGY!!

It’s not a bad or crazy word. In most circles, energy is a term that tells people how energized they feel or how emotionally excited they feel at any given point and time. We eat food, we exercise and we even relax to help us manage our energy.

In general, people think of energy as something to be preserved, gained or restored. We talk in general terms that we are low in energy to complain when we have no extra to give to others. We then talk of high energy when we attend a fun event or socialize with wonderful people. You will also see us talk about feeling down when we are at a sad event or around people that are not so wonderful.

To most, the word energy is something we must have, get or maintain. Why is this?? Because…. we feel tired when we lack energy – meaning, we have nothing left to function. In summary – We give ENERGY! We get ENERGY! We are ENERGY! Wow – there is the brilliant idea the metaphysical world has been trying to tell us about. The concept has been rather tough to prove logically since most of us need to see something to believe it – and, we see ourselves as simply physical bodies. But – that physical body runs on nourishment, rest and exercise. That physical body needs a form of fuel that allows it to function – a sort of “electricity” you can say. Energy is the unseen that allows us to function on a daily basis.

As you can see, the word energy is more LOADED for Empaths!

The Empath believes the metaphysical world that says everything is energy! The Empath knows we are energetic beings. Most Empaths feel the energetic body; others can see it. The Empath knows that in every interaction with another, there is an energy exchange beyond shaking hands or saying hello.

The bottom line here is that the Empath is affected by energy seen and unseen. The Empath is an intuitive with higher sense perception. This gift allows Empaths to feel and know things about people on a more intimate level. The gift of knowing and feeling goes hand-in-hand with an Empath’s ability to help others heal.

What do I mean by heal? I am talking about emotional healing – helping that person understand, release or see their life situation from a higher perspective. The person being helped doesn’t truly see what is happening other than they love talking to Susie the Empath. They enjoy the connection because they always walk away with a Page | 23

smile or at least, feeling better.

What happens in this exchange with an Empath?

There’s a clearing or transmutation from a merging of energy.

An Empath also uses the term energy to describe how someone feels to them. The Empath is able to determine via intuitive vibe (knowing or feeling) many things about another person. Most notably we connect with the emotional layer – although, we have the capacity to connect to physical ailments and thought patterns.

The interesting observation is that mostly, people are totally uninterested and unaware in knowing, acknowledging or feeling anything that is inside of them. They often fear negative emotions and refuse to visit any uncomfortable situation in their life. As such, negative emotions remain buried and take up permanent residence within them!

Energetic blocks are caused by emotions that remain buried in the body. These blocks –as they accumulate – lead to physical, mental or emotional issues.

I hope this article helped you gain new understanding.

MBO's by Tom T. Moore

This Blog is for people who wish to learn how to use a very simple, yet powerful and effective spiritual tool every day the rest of your life. It will lessen the stress and fear of life in general, and will make your life easier.

It’s so simple a lot of people say “It can’t be this easy,” but it is, because IT WORKS! This reconnects you with your Guardian Angel, or higher power, or whatever your belief is. You simply say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for… thank you!” When you read the stories below, sent from all over the world, we use the acronyms MBO for Most Benevolent Outcomes, GA for Guardian Angel, and BP for Benevolent Prayers (what you ask for other people).

Be sure to participate when I ask you to say a Benevolent Prayer out loud, but are you also saying the Daily BP each morning as I do? Theo says this is one of the most important things you could do for yourself not only for this life, but all the others you have lived or will live on earth, as they are all happening at the same time. Print it out and put it on your bathroom mirror to remind you. Here is the link: http://www.thegentlewaybook.com/signs.htm. Here is an example of a BP for everyone to say today: “I ask any and all beings to intervene in the most benevolent way to stop any terrorist attacks before they happen anywhere in the world, to respect other religions, and for there to be peace in the world, thank you!”

Welcome to the Benevolent Outcomes Blog, and welcome to everyone who subscribed in the past week.

MBOs FOR HEALTH C.j. writes: MBO changed my health in a big way. Here’s my MBO story. Feel free to share: Disclaimer- We all have different paths to wellness I’m sharing my own journey. This is not to suggest any medical advice. Do your own research and see what’s best for you. Thank-You! C.J. About two months ago I awoke with terrible hip pain right on down the leg. Went to a network chiropractor and felt some better. Two weeks went by, getting worse. I couldn’t follow my Mom around Walmart shopping. Oh, this is not good. Lol And to be honest I had to crawl up stairs.

So I went to my other chiropractor. She asked questions and said it may be Lyme’s? I said a few MBO’s (intentions) to find the truth behind the cause of this discomfort. Then while out shopping my neighbor mentioned Lyme’s. This felt light to me, like yes this is the truth.

Hmmm, OK time to go on Teasel. Within a couple hours I felt 50% better!!! Now after one week I’m a new woman. WoooooHoooooo! You can order Teasel from Four Elements out of North Freedom, Wisconsin.

So grateful for MBOs, as helped me get the truth and find a solution!!

MBO TO FIND PERFECT DOCTOR Angie writes: Four months ago, I have been looking for a certain famous integrative specialist doctor for a second opinion for my gallstones as I am not content by the seemingly ineffectiveness of the protocol that my current integrative medical doctor has been prescribing for two years now for my gallstones and my thyroid condition. I have been saying MBOs that I find the perfect doctor and/or remedies for my health issues.

I found out two months ago that the famous doctor that I have been looking for has moved to Kyoto, Japan.

Three days ago, I stumbled on an advertisement for a new book on thyroid healing written by a medical intuitive. I bought the book and I saw all the information, food and supplements that I need for my thyroid condition which I’m meaning to confirm with my current doctor.

Yesterday, I stumbled in social media that the famous doctor that I have been looking for will conduct a lecture in December in my city. I called the organizer and asked how I can consult with this doctor. I was given a list of medical offices and phone numbers so I can make an appointment. Truly, MBOs work even it takes our GAs sometime to work things out for our highest good. I can say that the GAs have really prepared the way for me to get the best medical information and doctors. Thank you, Tom for teaching us about BPs and MBOs. They truly work.

EXPECT GREAT THINGS MBO REQUEST Laurie writes: I say the “Expect Great Things” Mantra every day. It’s part of my daily life. A couple of events happened recently that only could have been the result of that mantra. The first one relates to my professional life as a writer. I’ve been trying to “break into” a certain publishing house (I can’t say who it is) but there was no way in, even with my extensive credits and experience writing the same sort of material for other publishing houses. Then, out of the blue, an editor I’ve worked with at one publishing company moved over to the one I’ve been trying to break into. And now I have an “in” at the company I want to work for. What a Great Thing!

The second Great Thing is more of an Unexpected Moment. I live under the approach path of the Palm Beach, FL airport and get to see all sorts of interesting planes fly over. (I like airplanes.) Well, I was unloading groceries from my car in the open parking lot in front of my apartment this morning and heard the sound of an unusual jet engine. I looked up and saw that it was a huge military transport aircraft flying slowly overhead. I realized it was a transport arriving in advance of President Trump’s Thanksgiving arrival at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow. It was a fun, unexpected sight. You can add an MBO request to my airplane story. I requested an MBO to see Air Force One fly over my home on Tuesday and sure enough I went outside just in time to see it.

If you Expect Great Things, they pop up in unexpected ways!

"The Danger Of Unheard Sounds" by Jill Mattson

Page | 27

Seeing is believing, but a bizarre experiment revealed that people are affected by sound they cannot hear nor see. Scientists working at Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral analyzed the responses of 250 people who heard a 50 minute piano recital and also inaudible vibrations, too low in pitch for them to hear. The audience's emotions intensified as the inaudible sound vibrations were blasted out. Those feeling uncomfortable before the concert got increasingly angry. Their emotion intensified during the piano performance. Others, who were initially happy, got progressively more joyful. Focused concentration on music has a mesmerizing effect, almost hypnotic. The surprising thing is that this is also true for inaudible sound.

In experiments people felt physical affects from the silent blasts: tingling in the back of the neck and a strange feeling in the stomach. This should not come as a surprise as many scientists confirmed harmful effects from unheard or unseen vibrations, such as microwaves and electrical energy. A science experiment conducted by students in Denmark demonstrated that unheard vibrations from cell phones mutilated bean sprouts in a matter of days. Sharry Edwards who brought forth the science of BioAcoustics, says that certain sounds can make us physically ill.

It is well documented that sound entrains brainwaves, creating specific states of consciousness, and of course music makes us feel as we dance to a lively beat or feel sad with another type of song. Clearly vibrations of sound change us.

At least within the hearing spectrum we have a clue as to the impact of sound vibrations because we can hear them. Vibrations, even those unheard, can intensify our emotions – for better or worse. Our brain waves can be deliberated altered with sounds, with a similar result – altering our consciousness. Can we be brainwashed or influenced – without a clue as to what is impacting us?

This revives the ancient argument about free will versus destiny. Do we choose our emotions and thoughts, or do we respond like robots to unseen vibrations? Inaudible vibrations have a strong impact on us – our body, mind and emotions, and we are helpless to avoid the strong influences. Waves in close proximity combine – like it or not.

As a consequence of this breaking new knowledge - we should not take people’s emotional responses personally – maybe their behavior is a result of some unheard sound vibrations or influence.

Finally, are there “Sound Stalkers?” Are people creating unheard blasts to thin the populations or at least make them ill, depressed or angry? Given all the people creating computer viruses with intent on wreaking havoc… this action would not be hard to conceive of. How many unscrupulous people are blasting us with unheard sounds – what kind of protection do we have?

Sound blasts can be used for good – for nutrition, for encouraging positive emotions, to elevating our consciousness and awareness, and more. How about educating people how we ingest sound?

We should monitor unheard vibrations and be warned of their effects. Ultimately, when are we going to take what we listen to seriously?

Plotinus of ancient Greece wrote: “Harmonies unheard create the harmonies we hear and wake the soul to the consciousness of beauty.” He suggested that subtle, unheard sounds (such as those coming from nature) are the sounds that influence musicians to create beautiful works of art. Whether or not unheard sounds (from tiny volumes or out of our hearing range) help or hurt us, is not the biggest issue. We are influenced by all kinds of vibrations, without a clue to their influence, which can be significant. It is time to wake up and take control of our vibratory world!

"How Will Venus Retrograde Affect You? By Joelle O'Toole aka Waxy

Venus turns retrograde on Saturday 5th October at 20.05 UK time, from 10º Scorpio. It will remain in retrograde motion until 16th November; a 6 week period of introspection and reflection covering our love lives, creative flow and areas of finance too.

Where Venus falls in your natal chart (the chart of the time you were born) will say more about what you are going to learn through this period. Scorpios born in the first 10 days of the sign and Libras born during the last 5 days, will experience this time more than most. Equally those who are born with planets between 25º Libra and 10º Scorpio will have the applicable energies brought to the fore.

For those of you with unresolved relationship issues, this can be a time of reconnecting and going over old ground. In general we will all be looking more deeply at our love style and how it can be limiting at times to the true nature of love which is infinite, unconditional and part of the ONE consciousness.

If you would like me to look at your chart to help you with any love-related issues at this time, do email me to book a reading. I can do tarot readings also, which I use for more incisive results for those who are not sure how to proceed at this time. Find me at www.facebook.co.uk/waxyjo or email me directly at:waxlobster@hotmail.com The lovely people at café astrology have been kind enough to create a page which will help you look up your own personal Venus sign, so that you can best utilise my summaries below: https://cafeastrology.com/venussignstables.html Venus In Aries Bold and expressive the first sign of the zodiac always brings a burst of energy and with Venus in Aries your warmth and charisma is your trademark. Honest and candid you are not afraid to speak your mind whether in love or war, but your natural congeniality creates far more harmony than opposition. Your innate selfishness is your most attractive trait, others are drawn to confidence and you tend to make clear choices about what you want and don't give up until you are successful. The fact that everybody knows where they stand with you, means people value you for your truth, conviviality and wit in the long term, just as much as the short.

Venus retrograde – with Venus in Scorpio operating as the 8th House Page | 29

This period will be about understanding yourself by the way you relate to somebody close. The 8th house is the natural house of Scorpio and this Venus retrograde period will bring you knowledge of your own hidden depths, passions and fears. We all have some parts of ourselves we try to keep hidden, but Scorpio demands we confront the absolute truth of our inner nature. Through your connections you will find this time is one of great revelations; bringing the ability to form deeper stronger emotional bonds as a result.

Venus In Taurus A lover of the earth, you are grounded, stable and trustworthy in the way you love. You have an affinity with plants and animals and seek security and comfort as a priority.

Venus in Taurus are often gifted in the kitchen too and with your solid, sensual and supportive nature, you are a joy to be around. Often the type who can settle into a long-term relationship easily, your downfall is that you can be indiscriminately loyal and end up being taken for granted and over-looked over time.

Venus retrograde – with Venus in Scorpio operating as the 7th House Your lesson is in valuing yourself, as you value nature. Just as you would protect a slow growing plant, which is being smothered by a much more prolific one, so you have to learn to free the self where circumstances may become stifling or depressing to your spirit. You may not ask for much, or even wish for anything; such is your consistency of heart, but in order for your love to emanate and facilitate growth in others, a little more selfishness is needed on your part. Learn to understand and represent your needs. Your feelings are real and should be honoured also.

Venus In Gemini Easily bored, you like to learn when you love, always fun to be around you thrive off variety, ideas and exciting exchanges with other smarter than average folk. Mental stimulation is your aphrodisiac and intelligence a powerful draw for you. As somebody who values mental and inspirational activity it may be difficult for you to stay in one place, metaphorically. Once you find your partner in crime, who doesn’t try to change you though, you will be true and satiated. So long as they don’t decide to stop learning and become dull!

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 6th House This period will give you time to look at yourself a little more definitively. There is a much more loyal and bonded side to your character which often eludes you. During this period, if you take the time to go deeper into your own character, you will notice that you harbour some fear of attachment which compromises your ability to open your heart fully. Holding back doesn’t stop us from getting hurt, it only stops us from appreciating what we have in the moment. Letting go of your judgements of yourself and others will liberate and uplift your life.

Venus In Cancer Nurturing and warm, you have a very protective and giving nature deep down, no matter what your Sun sign.

You are the archetypal home maker and even if you’re not a gifted cook, you do love to open up your home to people, so long as you trust them. Home is, after all a sanctuary. Tough too though, you are fiercely protective of your clan and extend great loyalty to those who come to matter a great deal to you. You don’t give your heart easily, but you mean it fully when you say I love you.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 5th House Although Cancer is a cardinal sign –the water sign with the leadership skills - your desire to defend those you love, often includes you putting others’ needs before your own. During this retrograde period you are called to Page | 30

look more closely at your own inner depths and creative talents. Set some time aside for yourself during this period; to explore your abilities and begin to make creative expression a regular habit. Just for you! You are easily drained by others’ needs, it is important you set some time to regenerate and allow your artistic side to shine.

Venus In Leo You need no introduction, you’ve already charmed the room with your presence. Probably the most charismatic of the Venus signs and definitely the most commanding, self-doubt is not a feature this placement possesses (the rest of the chart may say otherwise). You expect to be adored and at times worshipped and may well be.

Confidence after all is extremely intoxicatingly magnetic. Relationships may feel limiting and dull to this Venus sign; as the enjoyment of snatching brief glimpses of attention is more appealing.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 4th House We all love the magnanimity of a Venus in Leo, the person who sets the room alight is the ideal dinner party guest. Life isn’t one long social event however, and some Venus in Leo may forget that real relationships require depth and deep connections to develop. During this Venus retrograde you will be looking at your role within the family dynamic. How have you contributed to the unit that you were born into and those you have created for yourself since? There is nothing more fulfilling that giving love. This will be a time of learning the depths of your own giving and generous nature and how this brings you the greatest fulfilment.

Venus in Virgo Candid and refined, this Venus sign is easy to respect and admire. Your style of love is inexpressive; preferring to show consistency and good behaviour in your day to day life, to creating grandiose gestures of love, which appear to you rather superficial anyway!

You are respectful, good and kind and great in a crisis. Your patience outlasts any other and whilst you don’t feel the passionate desire for relationships that others do, you are loyal and giving once committed.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 3rd House This Venus retrograde is about you learning to speak your truth. It’s so much easier to sweep your needs aside where it comes to relating to others, after all, you usually make enough alone time to ensure you aren’t too suppressed. The downside of this is that you miss out on the opportunity to learn about true intimacy and closeness. Imagine a life where you could talk about your fears and insecurities; experiencing a lover who knew and accepted you as you truly are? Speaking out is scariest the first time, but it is only be showing your whole self that you can allow yourself to be truly loved!

Venus in Libra The archetypal romantic….or are you? You love the romantic dream, are the most sucked in by the fairy tales and fables, but does this help or hinder your path?

Always drawn to aesthetics and beauty Venus in Libra is drawn to that which glitters. You are creative and probably have a flair for fashion and dressing up. Despite being cardinal (the leadership sign of air) you can be quite easy to influence however. A few compliments and sweet words can turn your head rather too easily. This is the sign that is rarely single, and hence tends to settle for anything but the fairy tale.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 2nd House Page | 31

Nobody is doubting your likely attractiveness, or your creative flair, it is integrity that Venus in Libra is likely to lack. Swayed so easily by superficial beauty, you often miss the depths of what makes love true. During this Venus retrograde period learning to look more deeply at the binding and nurturing elements of love can help you to add another dimension to your life. How do you feel when you close your eyes? This is how you recognise true love. Touch, loyalty, consistency and truth will bring you so much fulfilment once you realise there are of the highest value of all.

Venus in Scorpio The thing about Scorpio is whilst it may be secretive, quiet, calculating and vengeful it is also one of the most honest and direct signs of the zodiac. With Venus here softening the edges we quite an intriguing, charismatic kind of nature. You will go after what you want, but only once you have ascertained that failure is practically impossible. When you pounce you know how to charm and entice better than any and since you spend so much time choosing your prey, once settled you will rarely stray.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 1st House Your downfall is your tendency to hide your brilliance. As one of the most analytically advanced and intelligent signs, you really should show your talents more openly. During this Venus period you will be reassessing your times of success and learning to take a little pride in your abilities and sway. Sometimes you look at the loud, proud, less capable folk, touting their limited wares to a captive audience with scorn. You know you are more capable and intelligent, it is not crass to shine a light on your own talents when they are true and worthy of recognition.

Venus in Sagitarius Ever the explorer you love to know more, find more and see more. You are the life and soul of the party with a kaleidoscope of anecdotal tales to regale to your captive audiences (so long as you don’t tell the same ones to the same people!). You are fun to be around and by nature do not take life too seriously, your motto is that if you think positively then life will reflect this and often this works to your advantage, as you are certainly wellliked and popular.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 12th House In the energy world like attracts like. To simply this process; this works from the conscious mind – i.e. how we choose to think, be and act and also the subconscious mind – which is the subliminal processes we tend to become more aware of whilst we sleep. For you this Venus retrograde period is all about the subconscious mind, the feelings and needs that you have deep down within you. No matter how well we think, we still have feelings and emotions that need our attention too, they accumulate. This may seem like quite a heavy time for you, as it will bring up the unseen, take note of your dreams and meditate at this time. Depth and emotion creates the difference between good company and a truly magnificent presence.

Venus in Capricorn Refined and respectable, Venus in Capricorn often appears as an aloof, untouchable figure. Not prone to emotional outbursts or one who naturally shares details of one's personal life, you often give the outward impression of being very sure of life. Of course the real truth is that you have a shyness about you, that only appears as sureness. Once committed you are fervently loyal but it does take a long time to earn your trust and your partners may be forced to jump through hoops first. You are however loyal and true to your word and those who melt the barriers around you heart, will usually want to remain close thereon.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 11th House Page | 32

This Venus retrograde period will have you looking at the great whole, and the bigger picture. Where can your experiences in life benefit the wider social dynamics? Sometimes it is important to share your own personal knowledge, as it can inspire others and help them to feel closer and more connected to you and each other. This is a time to drop some of your barriers and realise that being distrustful doesn't actually protect you from being hurt, but it may just help another to feel close when they are already hurting.

Venus in Aquarius You are the true free spirit, offering your soul up as a commodity to all who wish for your cheery presence.

Venus in Aquarius is a fun upbeat placement, able to find common ground with almost anybody, you are the fun, gregarious one that people don't easily forget. You are naturally creative in an inventive way and love to have a group of followers who admire you, as Aquarius is, after all just a far more introspective exhibitionist than it's opposite sign of Leo. You both enjoy the hoard the fans, if you hide the fact better.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 10th House This Venus retrograde period will have you looking at your calling in life and whether it fits in with your life status. Is your creativity being used in the workplace? Do you get to come up with ideas, or are you stifled in some way? This is period will be about how you view love in the world also, you will be looking more deeply into how people appear, vs how they actually are. There is a lot of superficiality and that's something that's always particularly grated on you. Developing a more authentic, joined up life for yourself will bring you a lot more satisfaction for the future.

Venus in Pisces This is the sign of the true romantic, you know that romance is in the small gestures, that love is show in the moments between the words. Venus in Pisces can see beyond the world's vision of love and reach out to the interconnected ether of truth and oneness. Often imbued with a gift for music and the arts, you understand beauty lies in the individuality of imperfection and uniqueness. Venus is said to be exalted in this sign as you are the ones capable of taking love to the highest level. Truth is though in modern society, your transcendental perceptions often feel muddied and tainted by the falseness you witness.

Venus retrograde – Venus in Scorpio operating as the 9th House Most people reading this will be in the western world, living in a cold, capitalist construct, consisting of consumerism and inequality. There are many parts of the world who don't operate on this same preface however. Some do live in thriving, connective communities. There is freedom and truth in the world and it does propagate in some areas. Maybe this is the time to broaden your horizons. Whether physically or metaphysically you will seek an escape from your day to day existence during this Venus retrograde period. Doing so will give you the inspiration and inner freedom for your true creativity to flow once more.

Two Book Reviews

Dancing with Raven and Bear - A Book of Earth Medicine and Animal Magic By Sonja Grace Original Tales Inspired by Native American and Norwegian Folklore that Highlight the Wisdom of the Divine Natural World.

Drawing on both her Native American heritage and her Norwegian upbringing, renowned mystic and intuitive healer Sonja Grace shares original wisdom tales, received through her heart and soul, to take you on a journey Page | 35

into the magic of Raven and Bear and the healing power of Earth Medicine.

Featuring Sonja’s distinctive and beautiful artwork, each story is embedded with ancient teachings to inspire you to live closer to the Earth. The fables include powerful examples of animal magic and every day, practical applications of Earth Medicine, such as simple energy exercises, dream interpretations, Earth Medicine prayers and meditations, and using medicinal plants to manage negative energies. As background to the stories, Sonja reveals parallels between Norse mythology and Native American traditions and explores the symbology of animals and the recurring central theme of the tension between light and darkness. In Norse myth, the great god Odin, for instance, is often accompanied by Ravens. These birds are considered manifestations of the Valkyries, the goddesses who brought brave soldiers to Valhalla, while in Native American traditions, the Raven is viewed as a trickster or messenger, a magical creature with the ability to shapeshift into a human or animal, yet also portrayed as a hero overcoming adversity. The Bear on the other hand can embody the healer who grounds our energy and removes illness or can represent the inner part of us that has faith. In one fable, Sonja brings Bear to life as a mythical creature singing songs to bring in the light, reflecting the powerful lesson that by using our voice and speaking the truth we can hold darkness at bay. Throughout all of the stories, Raven and Bear teach us to be responsible for our actions and develop spiritual accountability.

By sharing these tales of Earth Medicine, Sonja offers not only a path of reconnection with the Earth but also medicine for the soul. She shows how the Earth works in unity within herself and provides a warehouse of knowledge for all who live upon her.

About the Author: Sonja Grace is a highly sought after mystic, healer, artist and storyteller with both Norwegian and Native American heritage. As an intuitive healer, she has been counseling an international roster of clients for over thirty years. Sonja's ancestral background is a fascinating blend of Native American Choctaw and Cherokee descent and Norwegian. She has been adopted on the Hopi Reservation, where she is considered a medicine woman. The award-winning author of Spirit Traveler, Become an Earth Angel, and Dancing with Raven and Bear, Sonja has appeared multiple times with George Noory on Beyond Belief and Coast to Coast AM. She lives in Arizona with her husband.

Nothing In This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are by Bob Frissell Page | 36

Introduction to the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition of Nothing In This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are By Bob Frissell Has it really been twenty-five years? In many ways it seems like only yesterday when a guy named Richard first came to me as a breathwork client (I called it rebirthing at the time). Though skeptical at first, he had an unexpected experience in that first session that resulted in twenty-nine additional weekly visits. During that time a mutual understanding and trust quickly developed between us that led to a most unexpected result.

Yes I learned that Richard owned a publishing company, and no, I was not auditioning to write a book. In fact, I had internally decided just four years earlier when asked to co-author a book with a breathwork client---and upon learning that she was in fact suggesting that we write a book proposal that we would then use to seek a publisher---that the only way I would ever write a book was if a publisher came to me and asked me to do so. I thought I was safe, but that of course, is exactly what happened.

Prior to this fateful meeting in October 1992, for the previous twenty years I had been an active seeker; I was motivated primarily by an intense desire to heal myself of a crippling low back injury. Upon realizing that everything is a function of consciousness that can only be realized by looking inside, I dedicated myself to exploring the gap between who we think we are, and who we really are. Then I was exploring ways of taking it out of the realm of conceptual understanding and making it real in my life. Breathwork became my primary tool for doing so; it was a technique that was creating real and lasting healing, and transformation in my life---as well as in the lives of my clients.

Now back to Richard---I quickly learned that his company North Atlantic Books, had published Richard Hoagland’s book The Monuments of Mars. Since I had recently come across new and essential missing information regarding the unity of life that I knew I needed to be aware of, and since it originally expressed itself in a most unsuspecting way in the form of other life forms throughout the cosmos, with Mars being one of the centers of attention, I continually pressed Richard for more and more information. And of course I willing shared with him all of what I was learning. So one day I received a phone call from Richard asking me if I would consider writing a book on what he termed, “the esoteric meaning of the monuments of Mars.” And though my first thought was “No, I’m not an author,” I suddenly remembered my decision of four years earlier, and I instantly realized that there were higher forces at work here.

Nothing In This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly how Things Are quickly to my complete surprise---and through word of mouth only (not one dime was ever spent on marketing it)---became an overnight sensation. The enormous amount of feedback I’ve received has been enormously satisfying. As nothing grew in popularity, I was receiving about fifty hand written letters per week, totaling well into the thousands, telling me how helpful my book was in peoples’ lives. I am grateful to know that I have contributed to so many people in this way.

It has subsequently been published in twenty-five languages, it has sold in excess of five hundred thousand copies and continues to be well received to this day. As a result I have been invited to give my workshops throughout North America, Europe and Australia. In this special edition I have kept intact the basic message of the previous edition; I have also expanded upon it by including significant additions and updates, including nine completely new chapters.

I detail from a big-picture perspective, the enormous infusion of higher dimensional energy that is dramatically raising the vibratory rate of the planet and everyone on it. I also give the details of the personal transformation that we must make if we are to survive and thrive, so we can “catch the ride” into higher consciousness in a way that enables Mother Earth to reach critical mass and become lit from within. This is the story of nothing less than the birth of a new humanity, of the co-creation of Heaven on Earth.

Page | 37

For thirteen thousand years we have been in separation. We see everything as polarized—as good or bad, up or down, hot or cold. We judge everything that happens. The very act of judgment keeps us in this mode of perceiving. As an example of this separate way of looking at life, if your body gets cold you think of a fire or a heater; you think of something outside yourself. This has led to our increasing dependence on technology. And while there have been many amazing advancements in technology, there is also a downside. We have missed the fact that the more technologically advanced we are, the more ignorant we are becoming. We are increasingly separated from the One Spirit and we are weakening.

We become weaker when we keep giving away our power to technology—that is, to external objects. We then become dependent upon these objects and soon get to the point where we can't do anything for ourselves. We also become habituated to seeking and obeying outside authority.

Oneness does not understand this. It doesn't know what "needing anything" means. Aboriginals and other indigenous people do not know what "need" means; whatever they need just appears because they are in harmony with Nature. The Hopi don't even have words for anything outside themselves. They would speak, for example, of a bird that is perched on a tree branch that is within them.

We have stepped outside this balance, and at this moment, we are learning how to step back in. If we really knew, we could just think the thought "warm" and it is so. We have the capability of changing anything in the reality from within. (I use “the reality” to refer to the outer world, including life situations, circumstances, etc.)

Many of us feel that we are just a person with no power and no say regarding how things are in creation. The larger truth is that we can change anything in our environment under certain circumstances—when we are in Unity and not in separation. The Spirit of God can move right through you.

The right brain is our connection to the all that is; it is holistic, intuitive, experiential, and knows only momentary time, the eternal now. It is able to intuit the Oneness, like a four or five year old, looking up at the night sky. The left brain sees dots and does not connect them. It is logical, and is locked into linear time, so it is never in the present moment. It needs to see beyond any doubt that separation is an illusion. It must be shown Unity in a series of logical steps as I will do by showing you the holographic universe through the universal language of sacred geometry, and by showing you how the reality that we think we see “out there” is really a holographic projection of our consciousness. When the mind truly sees that there is only One Spirit moving through everything---that there is only one creation pattern, only one law moving through all things---a relaxation occurs; the corpus callosum opens up and communication takes place between both sides of the brain. Things can begin to happen at this point that you yourself would not allow until you were certain that there is only Oneness.

Sixteen thousand years ago we violated galactic law. We were on a very high level of awareness at the time, far beyond where we are now, but by committing a certain illegal act we fell many dimensional levels until we landed in this dense aspect of the reality. We stopped breathing in the manner we formerly utilized, causing the prana or lifeforce energy to bypass the pineal gland, the direct result of which is separation. We now experience ourselves as inside a body looking out at a world that is not us.

There are no accidents, however. In the cosmic scheme of things, this “fall” was necessary in order to allow for a greater possibility. We are now about to leave this place. The whole world is. We have only a short time left before we will no longer be in separation. This is not going to be happening someday, it is happening now.

We live in a time that can be deeply moving, but first, you must be listening with your heart. When you are, you can begin to find a common language that is beyond right and wrong, good and evil.

Page | 38

Your Higher Self is still within you, and it functions well beyond the capabilities of your mind. Reconnecting with this severed aspect of ourselves gives us access to our unlimited potential; where we have reliable access to an infinite supply of inner peace, unconditional love, joy, creative expression and wisdom. This is the energy of Divine Creator, it is the energy of Source. We must first go down in the process of reconnecting and reclaim our child-like innocence. We must first connect with our Lower Self. The Lower Self is our subconscious mind; it is a child, about two to six years old.

Reconnecting and fully reclaiming our child-like innocence is code for the healing work that needs to happen.

In the chapters that follow, I will show you exactly how to do that.

Perhaps you’re among those who have always felt that there’s much more to our existence than we have been led to believe; and you’ve always felt that we’re headed somewhere. But you may not know that the speed at which we’re now evolving is unheard of in the universe, thanks to a wildly successful interplanetary experiment conducted in 1972. These adventures in other-dimensional reality are coming to fruition on Earth right now!

You will be guided through the ancient Mystery Schools---the Naacal Mystery School in Lemuria and Atlantis, and then onto the two twelve year Egyptian Schools, culminating with the final imitation in the Great Pyramid and the ascent into Christ-consciousness.

Around the circles and spirals of sacred geometry, in and out of the magic of Circular Breathing and the activation of the light-body, even surviving the potentially cataclysmic pole shifts intact, we will eventually assemble internally our own Merkaba, the universal pattern of creation, and join the ascended masters.

We will meet the forces working to advance our evolution of consciousness, and those seeking to block it.

When we reach Unity consciousness Mother Earth will shift into a higher dimensional level. Many galactic presences have already gathered around our planet, watching and waiting to observe this unprecedented event.

This is a time of great celebration as we move out of the darkness and into the light. It means that the veils will be lifted, we will remember and live our intimate connection to all life, we will be allowed to reunite with our cosmic brothers, and to move about the universe. We will completely redefine what it means to be human!

The Sleeping Passenger

I sit in my train seat gazing outward, watching the kinetic mural of my life.

I am sitting still ... transfixed.

Kaleidoscopic landscapes and ever changing vistas vying for my constant attention.

I am sitting still ... spellbound.

I can hear the rhythm of the tracks below me.

An aural trance, the sound of submission.

I am sitting still ... hypnotized.

I am addicted to the din of life.

Trapped by my own thoughts and distractions.

I am still, sitting still ... mesmerized.

How The Sandwich Technique Can Transform Your Relationships by Dr. Judith Orloff

The Sandwich Technique is a mindful, sensitive communication strategy which everyone (including sensitive people) can use to transform the relationships with their partner, friends, family, and co-workers.

This technique is not intended to be fake or simply to placate others. Being brutally direct can backfire and make people feel defensive and unable to hear your comments (no matter how useful they are).

When you use The Sandwich Technique, make requests not demands. Then, when you are communicating about a difficult issue, you sandwich the request between two positive statements. It’s a creative way of presenting challenging topics so that others can hear you. Let’s say you need more alone time. First you could say, “I appreciate all your support and I need your help with this.” Then place your request: “It would be great I can take more alone time to decompress. This will help me be even more present with you later.”

You empower your relationships by expressing your needs. Also, relationships thrive on both people feeling accepted. One patient told me, “My husband accepts me as I am. Through his acceptance I have learned to be true to myself.”

We all have issues to resolve in relationships no matter how good the match. To do this, we need to have loving, creative conversations.

4 Tips to Apply with The Sandwich Technique from “The Empath’s Survival Guide.”

1. Focus on a single emotional issue and don’t repeat yourself. We can have many emotional issues going on simultaneously which can be overwhelming for us and others. The best way to communicate is by sharing one issue at a time without repeating it, unless being asked for clarification. My partner says he feels like his brain is being squeezed if I raise too many problems at once, or if I keep repeating myself to make a point. Men, especially, tend to be task oriented, and they like to be helpful. Multiple requests for change make it all seem impossible.

2. Don’t take things personally, even when they are personal. This is an important but demanding principle of the spiritual path yet it’s basic to good communication and relationship harmony. Try to be less reactive to Page | 42

comments and more centered so you aren’t triggered as often or as intensely.3. Observe the “No Yelling Rule.”

Many of us, especially sensitive people, become overwhelmed around yelling and loud voices. Our partners need to understand how unproductive and hurtful this can be. For the sake of self-preservation, I’m strict about this rule in my house.

4. Don’t be a people pleaser or try to fix your partner. We become tired when we try to fix others’ problems or keep trying to please them at the expense of our own needs. So, practice loving detachment and set boundaries.

For instance, my partner dislikes getting instructions on self-improvement. When he’s going through a hard time, he has trained me to say, “I have faith that you can handle it,” rather than offering suggestions he didn’t ask for. It’s a gift to let others be themselves and face their own difficulties.

Good relationships are possible for everyone, including sensitive people. They can enhance your sense of security, love, and grounding. Marriage or any kind of sacred union needs to be a competition of generosity.

Each person is in service to the other, aiming to deepen their devotion, kindness, passion, and love every day. In relationships, you can learn from each other. Consideration and tolerance is essential.

"Gratitude to Overcome Boredom, Difficulties, Complaining, & Feeling Overwhelmed" by Leo Babauta

As many give thanks for what’s in their lives this week, we might look at how to go deeper with gratitude.

“Gratitude” seems like a trite and even perhaps boring topic to many — we all know we should be grateful.

And yet, there are ways that we aren’t cultivating gratitude … and our lives could be much easier, even richer, if we did use gratitude in these deeper ways.

Let’s take a few examples.

Boredom I was talking to a friend recently about how she doesn’t like to stay in stillness and quiet, because it feels boring. She realizes this probably isn’t good for her, as she often feels the need to move, to keep busy. And she’d like to learn to be more present, slow down at times.

The answer to boredom is gratitude.

Let’s think about a situation: you turn off your phone, get away from the computer, and go sit outside with no book, no device, no one to talk to, nothing to do.

You just sit there.

How useful is that? How interesting? How productive? You might answer “not at all” to these questions, and it might seem boring. But I believe that’s because we’re not 1) paying close enough attention, and 2) appreciating the gift of that moment.

If I’m sitting alone with nothing to do, I might have the urge to get up and go do something, or reach for my phone. But what if, instead, I could pay attention to how my body feels, the texture of my breath, the light all around me, the nature sitting right in front of my face, the sounds of the world busy in activity. The vibrant Page | 45

colors, the life that’s struggling to survive and thrive. The feeling of just being alive.

The closer I pay attention, the more I might realize what a gift this is. The more I might appreciate the preciousness of it all.

Gratitude trumps boredom, if we let it.

Difficulties We usually think of difficulties as something we don’t like, and they cause us unhappiness: a difficult person we’re dealing with, the loss of a job, struggling with a health issue, losing a loved one.

And it’s true, these are not things we normally think of as “good.” I’m not claiming we should rejoice at having these problems.

But is there a way we can find gratitude for them, nonetheless? Is there a way to see them as a gift?

Gratitude can be found even in our struggles: When we’re dealing with a difficult person, we can be grateful for having other people in our lives, for being alive in the first place, for having someone to practice being in a relationship with (including coworker and family relationships), for having a way to practice being better at patience and communication. We can think of this person as our teacher, who is unwittingly helping us to get stronger and to grow as a person.

If we lose our job, this can be very difficult … but we can also find gratitude that we had a job in the first place, even if only for a while. We can be grateful that we have some savings and/or a network of family to help us (or perhaps we can lean on strangers to help). We can find gratitude for the opportunity to start afresh, to reinvent ourselves, to push into the discomfort of getting good at interviewing and learning new skills and starting a new career. We can find gratitude for the opportunity to grow, even in the midst of pain.

Struggles with health are never fun, and can often be very painful and debilitating. I’m not claiming this is good. But perhaps the pain can be mediated by a sense of gratitude of being alive. Of having loved ones who might help us. Of being able to feel pain, perhaps of having hearing and sight and the ability to taste. We take these other things for granted because we’re focusing on the part we don’t like. We might even find gratitude for the chance to get good at meditating on pain, which is a powerful way to grow.

Losing a loved one is painful, of course. But can we be grateful we had the gift of this person in our lives at all?

My father, for example, was a real pain in the ass sometimes, but I’m so grateful to have had his inappropriate jokes, his passion for life, his art, his loving heart, his music, his smiling face, in my life. I got 40+ years of him, and that was an absolute gift. His death also reminds me not to take my other loved ones for granted, and each time I find gratitude for my other family members, and my good friends, and all of you … I have his death to thank for that.

Difficulties are not easy to find gratitude for … but they can become incredible paths of growth and learning, if we see the lesson in them. If we start to see everything as our teacher, especially the pain and struggle.

Complaining Many of us have the mental habit of complaining — about a situation, about another person. We might not even realize we’re doing it, but every time we feel a bit of resentment, this is a form of complaining. And it’s a good way to waste our lives.

Page | 46

Gratitude is the antidote for resentment, irritation, frustration and complaining.

Each time you notice yourself feeling resentment, or complaining, notice that you have a story in your head that’s causing the feeling of resentment. Notice that you’re letting this story line fill your head. And then find a way to be grateful.

Drop the habit of resentment and complaining each time you notice it. Choose the gratitude habit instead. See what a difference it can make.

Feeling Overwhelmed Many days we can feel stressed and overwhelmed, especially in the holiday season when we add social events, shopping, family gatherings, cooking and decorating to our already busy lives.

How can we deal with this feeling of overwhelm?

By being grateful for everything in our lives that’s overwhelming us. By cherishing each thing in our to do list, each person making a request by text or email, each event that’s stressing us out. Each of these is an absolute gift, and to be overwhelmed is to complain about these gifts. To find appreciation for each one of the gifts is to let go of the stress and to find the love in the chaos instead.

About Leo: I am is a regular guy, a father of six kids, a husband, a writer from Guam (moved to San Francisco in 2010, now living in Davis, California). But I have accomplished a lot over the last couple of years (and failed a lot) and along the way, I have learned a lot.

No More Struggle with Healing! By Jodi Aman

By Doing the Easy Things Instead of the Hard Ones Many of us struggle with healing. It just seems so out of reach and we’re already so exhausted. Can you relate?

We try so hard to be good people, to help others and make them happy. So often we are the last ones on our list.

But why?

Why do we struggle with healing?

I have the answer. It’s because we think healing is hard. And when you are exhausted from the emotional overwhelm- resistance to something hard is high!

Also, here’s the secret sauce of it all: The hard stuff is not always the most impactful. In fact, quite often the things you feel are hard- may not be the best way forward anyway. Let me give you an example.

I was speaking to a client who feels anxious a lot of her day. I asked about her routine. She said that she journals and meditates a few hours when she wakes up. I asked her what she was writing about and she said her feelings about the past. Everyday she writes about the past for a few hours. This is emotional and exhausting and so she is ready to nap afterward. It was hard, draining, upsetting, but she thought that meant it was working.

I love journaling as a healing exercise but this didn’t seem to be moving her out of the past as she hoped it would, but keeping her replaying it over and over.

Stop struggling with healing? Do these EASY thing first!

Another thing that seems to be “hard” for people attempting to heal, is trying to prove their worth. (By working hard, or trying to please people, or the like.) This is so taxing! Totally zapping of your energy. But even though it makes us struggle with healing, we never want to stop because then, we surrender to worthlessness.

Page | 48

We can work our fingers to the bone, thinking it is the path to healing! But it is a hard path that goes nowhere.

(Hamster wheel.) It keeps reinforcing the idea that you are not worthy in the first place. This keeps us pushed down and anxious.

Not true. You are so worthy!

We do all the things that drain us of energy and motivation first and then we have nothing left for the easy, more impactful things. Stop struggling with healing: Do the easy things first, and let the relief they bring help you!

There are easy things that you can add to your day that will help you prioritize yourself and end your struggle with healing. You don’t have to spend sleepless nights poring over all the things you’ve done wrong, wracked with guilt and obsessed with worry.

We struggle with healing ourselves and we don’t have to. There is a better way. Do the easy things first! Watch the video to what to do.

All day long we’re in our heads doing the hard stuff: figuring out why someone was mean, worrying about being left, feeling guilty etc. This thinking takes up so much energy! No wonder we struggle with healing.

Listen, it’s not that we’re not doing anything wrong. It’s understandable; it’s what we think we deserve. But if we let these things go and shift our attention to the easy, feel-good stuff, we can begin to feel better.

Some EASY things to add to your day…

Tanka by Pamela A. Babusci

folding up her heart into a neat origami box careful not to spill out the brokenness

putting a brush into paint & paint onto canvas i express my feelings in variations of blue

as you undress me you can never remove all my childhood wounds i keep hidden even from myself

She considers herself a self-taught artist/poet and a beginning sculptor. She has learned her techniques and writing skills via art/poetry books, art demonstrations, whether in person or on the internet and practicing/experimenting with painting and writing poetry every day.

One should always be free and willing to expose their heart and soul within their art form. That in itself, is the power of art."

Poetry and art have been an integral part of her existence since her early teenage years. She has a deep desire to be creative on a daily basis. It feeds her spirit and soul, gives meaning to her life, and will continue to be a driving force until she meets her creator. _________________

Channeling Channeling is a natural form of communication between humans and ascended masters, angelic beings, nature spirits, or non-physical entities. A channeler is very similar to a language translator or interpreter. They allow themselves to sense the non-verbal communication from another being and then translate it into human words.

Channeling is often defined as the act of allowing a spiritual entity (e.g., angel, archangel, ascended master, guide, deceased loved one) to merge, join, or enter your body and use your vocal cords to communicate directly with those on the Earth plane or provide knowledge and the channeler can write down the shared information. For some people who channel, the entity will also move the channeler’s body (e.g., open your eyes, move your arms/legs, have you walk around).

Channeling can be done in two different ways: Conscious channeling is done while being fully aware of what is happening, including being able to stop the experience at any time. The channeler can remember what was said to varying degrees. Often conscious channels will say that they hear themselves speaking as if they were at a distance . . . as if they were listening from another room. When told about what was said, they often feel as if they are remembering a dream. There are many people currently alive on the Earth plane who consciously channel. For example, Esther Hicks brings through the group of entities that refer to themselves as Abraham (no relation to the Old Testament). They speak about the Law of Attraction.

Trance channeling is channeling done while in a deep trance state. Arguably one of the most famous trance channelers was Edgar Cayce. He was referred to as “The Sleeping Prophet� because he only channeled when he was in a deep trance state. This meant that he lost all muscle tone and had to be lying down. He was also unable to remember what he said, which meant that his secretary had to be present to take dictation and then transcribe the notes from the channeling session.

Our channelers are providing their information to help us on our path. _______________________

"Trees Are Living Libraries" By Dianne Robbins

By Mikos, Head Librarian of the Library of Porthologos located inside the Center of our Earth.

Our Dear Readers: I am Mikos, introducing you to the Tree People living among you.

The Tree People are very Lighted Beings, and you can see how their auras fill the sky in towers of light waves radiating from their inner essences. They are tubes of light, carrying vast amounts of information and folklore to disseminate to humans on Earth, if only humans would tune into their frequency and connect with them on their wavelength. This is easy to do. You just call on the Trees and invoke their presence, and ask them to transfer their library to your vast vault inside yourself.

Your vault is practically empty, so you have much storage room inside, just waiting to be filled with documents containing the mysteries of life - all the mysteries you haven't as yet been able to unravel in your closed states of existence.

The Trees are "open" to all, and not closed in their belief systems or ways of thinking. They are open to the Universe and to all life around them, and welcome information coming in from all sources and all places.

They have a cataloging system built right into them that filters and sorts all the information into categories, and then files these categories away for easy retrieval—just like in the most modern of your libraries—only the Trees do it themselves, automatically, without any help from man-made technology. Yes, the Trees are most magnificent Beings, just waiting for you to retrieve all the information and knowledge of the Earth that they have stored over the millennia for you.

Between the Trees and the Cetaceans, you humans have more knowledge at your fingertips than you could ever read through, so we suggest you don't read it—just imbibe it in your souls and it will filter up to you just when you need it. It is that easy. Information at your fingertips—and no need to read your books anymore, unless you want to read them just for the pure enjoyment; but books are not really necessary, for all the stories of the Earth and the Universe are already written and bound and found in the library rooms inside the Trees—just waiting for you to check them out. They will even give you a library card—encoded with your very own DNA library number on it, so that you can check out information anytime you desire—and there is no need to return it when you are done reading the records—you just keep it stored within you for future use, to retrieve when necessary. Such an easy system—isn't it? Way beyond anything your technology could dream up.

Only the Creator can dream systems like this, so we suggest you tap into it and start retrieving all the information that is just waiting for you to check out and use for your survival. For survival is now the point where Earth Humans are in their evolution, and you need the information to survive these times of impending cataclysms. This information is crucial for you to have, for it can change the world in an instant by giving you the understanding you need to avert dire possibilities looming on the horizon caused by mankind's ignorance and gross misdeeds.

So tune into the Trees, and also the Cetaceans, for the guidance, information, and training you need to continue your life as a species dedicated to the Earth and not warring with the Earth. For the Earth is not at war—it is only humans who are at war with themselves, taking it out on others who they see as separate from themselves, rather than part of themselves. It is only your closed vision that keeps you in slavery—so reach out to the Trees who will open your eyesight to the gateway leading to the Stars.

All you need to see clearly is just a "blink" away.

Page | 53

I am Mikos, your fellow traveler to the Stars. We bid you to travel with us—it is not a rocky road as you perceive it, but a well paved and smooth highway if you but connect to all the other life forms who are waving to you to join them along the road to unity with all. For it is in unity that we thrive, whereas in separateness we dive. So lift with us in consciousness, for all Earth is about to embark on a trip of great heights leading to the Stars. You call it "ascension"; we call it time travel leading to other time zones and dimensions, way beyond your current comprehension.

So open your doors to the Living Libraries all around you, and take advantage of their accumulation and wealth of knowledge that you so desperately need in your lives, so that you can fulfill your missions here on Earth in ease and grace. It is all waiting for you to plug into—and oh, so easy to do.

Just intend it, and it is so. Intention is always the first step, and then consciously connecting and communing with the Trees is the second step, and walking among them, touching them, sitting with them is the third step, and voila, it will happen—you will be privy to their information and will find yourselves able to tap into their vast storage system with no effort—the words and thoughts will just appear to you as if you are reading them from a script on a movie screen. It is that easy.

So now that you know how to break the code and enter the Trees' library, we will leave you here, as we ourselves walk into the Library of Porthologos for our morning of further enlightenment as we access the vast vaults of knowledge in our own library's retrieval system that we have gleaned from the Stars.

I am Mikos, and I bid you a good day.

"Your Higher Self" By Jayne Chilkes Dear Children, Your Higher Self holds the keys to all your answers. The wisdom it bestows upon you is immense. Whilst you were younger it held you in a certain place. As you grow older it will give you support in new ways that you as yet cannot imagine. For your Higher Self is functioning in multi-dimensions and working with God. It is expanding its breadth of knowing God. Therefore that which you expect for yourself could evolve exponentially in a blink of an eye.

Hold the Light of your great potential and to know you could achieve so much more than you ever realised in your youth. You will find you are becoming a Light Being in a physical world. Once this truly takes hold of your physical cells and body you will glow and disappear into other realms at more frequent rates. There will be a choice to disappear altogether or remain. This will all be explained to you when that final choice is available to you for your Ascended New Human Higher Dimensional Life.

Many blessings.

About Jayne: Jayne is a healer and soul channel for the masters, DNA and akashic record practitioner, teach and author of four spiritual books. THE CALL OF AN ANGEL, TWELVE STEPS TO HEAVEN, THE NEW DNA, A SECRET PATH TO FREEDOM.

On this journey There are some lessons.

Live Angel Find the peace, So you may know And allow the flow.

We bless you And believe in you.

As we do Allow this to become your glue.

~ Sage Walker

Periodically I have kept journals throughout my life. When I was moving I found quite a few of them. As I am ready to throw them out I looked and found I had written a lot of spirit messages. Some were about my situations in life but most were not about me.

Various things I encounter they would give me the messages about, so I always wrote them down. I would also meet people or see them in my practice and they would send me information for them.

They are not grammatically correct, but I have not altered them except to delete the person’s name. I believe I was to write them exactly as they gave them to me. I have also been told that they will help others.

They were a gift from spirit to me to help myself and others. We do not walk this journey alone no matter what is in our life. We need to always move forward and become a better person with each step.

Page | 57

I hope they will assist you on your journey as they did me.

"November Message Of Light" by Christia Cummings

Dear Beloved Children of the Light, We come forth this day to beam our love right into your heart of hearts! Dear Ones, it is time to Delight in the little things in life!! It is time to do those things that make your heart sing with glee like a child! What were those things when you were little that made you giddy with glee?? it is time to bring that energy frequency in your human physical body and open to the pure joy of it! We ask that as you do you will notice your physical body coming into energetic balance. It has been difficult as humans physical bodies are releasing and changing in how they hold the Light and how they hold their denser bodies in the energetic matrix's created by false systems of beliefs. There is a break down happening, and this is ok, we ask that you proceed with discernment as information is being presented to you. Trust your instincts, trust your own self to discern what is right for you and what is not! This will become easy and you will become quite efficient at it. It will begin to be second nature, and that is a good thing Dear Ones! Dear Ones, we ask one more thing of you in this transmission, we ask that you be kind towards yourself and forgiving of past mistakes. You are learning and navigating these frequencies in uncharted times. Please know Dear Ones, that you are so loved by all of us, your Star Soul Family of Light.

About Christia: I was born an artist, empath, clairvoyant, and a channel of Spirit. My grandmother said I could draw and play cards before I could walk. I have always drawn upon Nature as my inspiration for healing and my art. In 1995, I had a spiritual awakening with a chorus of Angels-- a momentous event in my life – which caused me to open myself up to Spirit and the magical, inspirational multi-dimensional Universe. I teach practical tools on how to open to a dialogue with Page | 58

your angels and spirit guides during my healing sessions and classes. The Angel Light energy comes through my artwork into your home and environment. Everything I do, say, or touch has Angelic Energy. It has been my prayer for over 20 years that I be a pure channel of the Highest Love and Light, and that I am of service to the Light. Guided by The Arch Angels, I began working with clients from all over the world. The Angels have told me that I AM a bridge from the Angelic Realm to this 3D Human Realm. They have asked me to call myself an Angel Medium. I AM A Certified Angelic Life Coach, an Ordained Minister, Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Fine Arts in painting.
