EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS by KAREN WILTSHIRE For thousands of years, the idea of a spiritual realm has existed in different ways across many cultures. Whether it is the notion of an afterlife, the existense of angels or a belief in a higher being, humanity has based their practices on the idea that they are never alone. Even the smallest of acts can be considered a spiritual journey. Drawing on my own personal experiences, travelling to somewhere warm, with white sand and salt water, the wind blowing around me as if I am being cradled by the wings of an angel. For others it may be sitting on a bench, a bike ride or enjoying a meal. The common thread is that all of these experiences help bring a person closer to a spiritual world. In other circumstances, a spiritual journey can be a lot more intense. Some are willing to risk their own lives to make their connection. No matter what outsiders may think about these practices, people will suffer the consquences to heighten their spiritual intelligence. Here are some examples of spiritual journeys from around the world. INDIAN GURUS A Guru is defined as an expert master, teacher or guide. They are an inspirtational source to help others in their spiritual evolution. They have a 5

broad range of studies that they draw upon to help their student. Gurus are said to be 'the parent' a sort of mind of the soul. In India, there are more than one billion people and tens and thousands of Gurus. Many Gurus have a large depand that includes film and sports stars, politions, and the common people, whether they are rich or poor. These people are looking for some kind of miracle that can change their lives for the better or to find a cure for a loved one who is ill. Some view Gurus as magicians. A true Guru never accepts money . Their knowledge has been passed down through generations. They use their knowledge in several forms, arts, philosophy, martial arts, music, dance and prayer. A Guru is considered a prophet, that guides the way to a spiritual journey, 'oness of being, and the meaning of life'. PEYOTE Peyote comes from a small cactus which spreads freely in the Chihuahuan Desert.It can aso be found in Texas as well as Mexico. The mescaline inside the plant can produce several side effects including deep insights into a persons spiritual beliefs. Peyote has provoked controversy, suppression and persecution as far back as the arrival of the first Europeans in the New World. Peyote is one of the strongest vision inducing plants ever used, with a kaleidoscopic play of richly colored visions. Native Americans consider Peyote as sacred, as they 6

believe that with its use it allows one to receive divine messages from God. Over the years there have been great efforts to stamp out this practice. Peyote today is still being hidden for its sacramental use. INDIGENOUS SPIRITUAL PRACTICES "We dont have a religion, We have a way of life . "OHRC" focus group. For some the Indigenous spirituality is considered a complex phenomenon. They use a holistic approach based on their way of life and their culture. Many ceremonies inolve the use of traditional medicines such as sweetgrass, sage, tobacco and cedar. A common ceremony is called Smudging, it is a purification rite. This can take place at the time of death, or during a crisis. Some of thi spirituall ceremonies occur at a specific time of day. For those who are working, their organization has the duty to accomodate the time off . Some examples of ceremonies include birth, naming of a child, adoption, coming of age and death. As well a day of significance such as National Aboriginal Day, Louis Riel Day and Inuit Day. Indigenous spirituality takes place on land based activities, such as harvesting, cultivating, hunting and trapping. United Nations Declartion

1. Indigenous people have the right to manifest, practice their spiritual and religous traditions, the right to maintain, protect and have privacy to their religous and cultural sites, the right to use and control of their ceremonial objects; and the right to the repatriation of their human remains. 2. States shall seek to enable the access/and/or repatriation of ceremonial objects and human remains in their posession through fair, transparent and effective mechanisms developed in conjunction with Indigenous peoples concernd (emphasis added). CATHOLIC RETREATS Retreats are said to rekindle your relationship with God. It offers more time to pray and reflect. Your time is not interrpted by distractions. The Catholic Encyclopedia describes retreats as "In the fever and agitation of modern life, the need of editon and spiritual repose impresses itself on Christian souls who desire to relect on their eternal destiny and direct their life in the world towards God". During a retreat one would go to mass to hear the word of God, pray, and lift up their hearts to receive spiritual nourishment of the Eucharist. As well sayig the rosary, reading the scripture, meditaion or simply enjoying the nature that surrounds them. Many retreats have presentations that are to guide the participants. There can also be spiritual workshops with religous theme. Retreats offer personsonal privacy. Some retreats encourage 8

socializing and others emphasize silence. A retreat is offered to deepen one's spiritul faith. MECCA (FOUNDER OF MUSLUM FAITH) Mecca is the holiest city in a desert valley in Saudia Arabia .Millions arrive for the anual Hajj (pilgramige). This is the birth place of the Prophet Muhammad and the faith itself (the messanger from God). This Sacred Mosque surrounds the Ka'aba, that is draped with a black cloth (Kiwah) that bars a band of sacred versus embroiderd in gold and silver thread. An ancient holy relic, the black stone, is about fifteen inches high, mounted in silver in the southeastern corner of the Ka'aba. Muslums believe the black stone was sent from heaven. Muslums must pray five times a day, bowing down to face Mecca. All financially secure Muslums must undertake a pilgrmage, (a hajj) to Mecca at least once during their life time. This is to happen during the Muslum month of Dhual-Hijah (the twelfth lunar month). When Mohammed was forty years old he was meditating in a cave on Mount HIra .There, he had his first visions of angel Gabriel who instructed him about being one with God . At first his people rejected his teachings of their vices and pagan practices. Over time Muhammed returned to where he was born to cleanse the Ka'aba of pegan idols. He then dedicated the shrine to Allah, the one God. Mohamad continued to preach to over 30,000 9

followers on the plains of Arafat in 632. He died at Medina. He had completed his mission. Islam is one of the worlds largest religions, estimtated at 1.2 billion followers. The worshipping at the mosque containing Ka'aba is absolutely forbidden to enter if you re not Muslum. This is their sacred zone. Before the Hajj begins, the muslum must change out of their clothes into two seamless white sheets. At the begining there is a procession called Tawaf, which takes the pilgrams around the Ka'aba seven times. Only the most fortunate pilgram can press through and break free of the crowd to kiss the Black Stone. The second element of the Hajjj is to run seven times between to small hills, Al-Safwe and AlMarwa, which is connected to the walkway adjoining the mosque courtyard. The third aspect of pilgramage entails walking five miles to Mina, and then forward onto the plain of Arafat. This is a journey of prayer and meditation. On the walk back to Mina, the pilgrams throw small stones at three pillars, which symbolizes Abraham throwing stones at Satan because he was tempting him to disobey God. The final stage of the Hajj is a festival with goat, cow, sheep, or a camel sacrificed to celebrate the moment God permitted Abraham to sacrifice a ram instead of his son. There is a final procession around the Ka'aba, with as many as two million watching. 10

Despite our own opinions on what a spiitual journey should be, it is at the very least interesting to learn how people fulfill their spiritual destiny. Living your daily life with experiences and lessons learned, is a spiritual journey in itself.

HOW DANCE DOWN THE PATH OF DESTINY WITH EASE AND GRACE By

MICHELLE

CASTO,

PhD.

You Decide What does it mean to live YOUR destiny? The more I’ve been committed to living this path for myself, when I see someone marching to the beat of their own drum, doing exactly what is right for them, I am truly inspired. It warms my heart to see so many people choosing who they want to become. I’ve come to see that the one thing that will give us the peace of mind and happiness we desire is to know and live our destiny. And now more than ever, we are called forth to do exactly that. The new energy arriving on our planet requires an upgraded human being, one in sync with their soul’s purpose and grounded in love, an integration of humanity and divinity, a Divine Human. I believe that we plan to be here and that our opportunity is to grow and evolve our souls. We do 12

this through raising our consciousness through increased self-awareness, following intuitive guidance, practicing active reflection, and being “happy learners.” The curriculum for our enlightenment is our life experiences and what we do with those experiences. We also have the chance to live our truest self and to access our highest potential. What an amazing opportunity…..we get to decide our own destiny. Destiny is one of those words that brings up intense feelings of longing. We want to know what is meant for us and how we can contribute our gifts and talents in a useful way. I often say “when you discover your destiny it is like discovering the secret to the true you.” Destiny can be simply defined as the innate desire to express our Greatness. Walking Destiny’s path is not for the faint of heart. It requires giving up limited notions of who you think are and what you are capable of in favor of discovering what Life wants from you. Destiny is 13

for the truly Great who are willing to take the time to learn their unique dance happening between their free will and divine will.

Too often, it’s easy to “fall into” relationships or career paths because they cross your path. If you are walking the lower paths of persona, it is quite easy to take whatever comes your way instead of courageously following the path meant for you, one that allows to embody your Greatest Self. When we are asleep to who we really are, you can miss important steps or opportunities. When you do awaken to though, you can use your “super power” of choice and choose something different. It is in your daily decisions that you create your destiny, and you can always choose a new route. Living your destiny is about being “purposeful” so you do what you love and that allows you to be expressive and creative. You also consciously cultivate relationships that are empowering, uplifting, and loving. The quality of your life and the amount of enjoyment and contribution are great measures for how well you are living your destiny. Sing 15

Your

Song

The way I have seen this call to Adventure is “you have a song in your soul that is yours to sing.” Just like a song bird has its unique tune and tonality, you have something within you to say or share that is uniquely branded by your essence and presence. So how do so many of us end up like “mockingbirds” singing an imitation of someone else’s song? Imitation in this sense is not flattery. It is false because it is not our song to sing. We may even look good doing it, but looking good matters little to the soul. The soul desires to feel good and this comes from authenticity and conscious creation. This is one of the most common traps you can fall in on the road to living your destiny–that of living someone else’s destiny rather than your own. You can never end up where you’re meant to be when you follow in the footsteps of someone else. You may adjust to this “song” on some level, but will always feel something is missing in the “delivery.” When signing someone else’s song, there is a part of you that is not there. The part of you that longs 16

to sing in its own unique way is your soul and when you align with it, you naturally hear the music within and sing right on key.

Create From Joy Marianne Williamson says, “Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.” The Upanishads say “Where there is joy, there is creation.” And I would add: “ Where there is creation, there is destiny.” The joy comes from creating what is within you to create, in every area of life, relationship, career, health and wealth. The good news is that you already have everything inside of you necessary to become who are meant to become. The trick is to see and release your potential, while freely and boldly shining your brilliance. I often remind my clients, “Why are you trying to fit in when you were born to stand out?!” So, how about you? Are you dancing down the path of Destiny? I invite you to contemplate this 17

question for yourself…Am I living the destiny that I choose for myself? Be gentle with whatever the answer is. Allow it to be what it is and begin to take one step at a time toward exploring and living your greatest destiny. By simply staying open and seeking to know your personal truth, you will find yourself living your destiny each and every day! Like Elizabeth Gilbert says, “I will teach my heart that this is my Destiny.” You will open to realize that where you are and what you are doing is what you have chosen. This is destiny creation at the core. So the next time you feel a stir within your soul, you simply choose again, and allow yourself to be led in a new direction. Michelle L.

INTERVIEW WITH PATRICIA LEBLANC Patricia LeBlanc is the Multi-Gifted CEO of Patricia LeBlanc International Inc., a #1 International Best Selling Author and 9x International Best Selling Author, International Speaker and Trainer, Publisher, Podcast Host, Manifesting and Success Strategist, and Master Energy Healer/Teacher. She is a successful and inspirational lady. She manifests her dreams into reality and teaches other women to do the same. Patricia, what is your secret? Where do you get all of this amazing creative energy? Theresia, thank for this awesome question. When you love what you and live your life purpose the energy comes to you. It is important to do what you love because you will be tested and when you are passionate about something the high energy will follow. I am also aligned with myself which helps a lot. Currently I live in Montreal, a city that gets my creative juice flowing. I find when I am inspired than I can create. Patricia, you are Compiler and Publisher of two fantastic book. You created the International Best Selling Book series called Manifesting a New Life. What was your goal in the first book? 22

My mission for Manifesting a New Life: Money, Love, Health and Everything in Between, which is book 1 of the series, is for the readers to realize that they hold the power in their life. I want them to create the life that they truly want. My Manifesting Mission is to help them to manifest into their own life anything that they truly want. I want them to be empowered in the areas of money, love and health or any areas for that matter. I want them to choose to be empowered. I want to empower them to be able to attract anything that they truly want. I want to know that it is their time to shine their own light and live a happy and abundant life. Have you got a story or feedback, on how the book has benefited to the readers? I know for me personally the 1st book was quite a challenge to do. I had a lot of life lessons that I needed to learn. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone and it has opened a lot of doors for me. I have heard of several stories from readers in which at least one of the chapters as helped transform their lives. One that really stood out was someone that I knew who was very negative and after reading the book it has helped shift their mindset and energy that they are now manifesting amazing things in their life. This was phenomenal 23

to hear. Patricia, please talk a bit in the second book. This idea how to became reality? I was only supposed to compile one book and then move on to my solo book. Several people were after me to compile another book as they said it would be a shame for me to do only one as I am gifted at this. After spending a lot of time meditating, I came to realize that I needed to make this a 3 book series. The second book came to me as it needed to be an expert book and I was looking for 14 chapters which came together within 3 months which was so different from the first one which took 15 months from start to finish. My 3 rd and last book in the series which is coming out in December will be about real manifesting stories from people who have applied the law of attraction principles. Both books have become international best-sellers during the launch. This is awesome! How did you do it? Promotional materials, YouTube channel ... What was the determinant of success? First of all, I had an amazing team of co-authors for both books. I have been part of many book project and unless all the team pull together and promote the book it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a success. As you know Theresia, I provide each one of my co-authors with 24

a step by step guide on how to promote the book on launch date. I give them everything that they need. I walk them thru each step and what part they need to play for it to be a success. I also make myself available to for any questions that my co-authors may have. Being really organized during a launch is very critical as well as having a step by step plan and sticking to it especially when it has been proven over and over to work. With Book 2, we did a successful Thunderclap launch which helped us a lot to provide visibility. I also am very picky on who I accept as my co-authors. In order to be one of my co-authors you need to be a team player, be ready to be pushed out of your comfort zone because I will push you out of yours, show up fully and walk your talk. The compiler can do everything right but if her coauthors do not promote the book and show up fully, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a success. These books are wonderful gifts to the world. In addition, what is your message to our readers? I want women to stand in their own power. I want women to realize that it is their time to shine their light to the world as they are doing a big disservice is they do not. I want them to realize that they are empowered and it is time for them to be visible and stop hiding. There is enough abundance so stop playing small and go big. I want every women to know and feel that she is living a happy, fulfilled 25

and abundant life. Thank you Theresia for interviewing me for your amazing magazine Conscious Creators. It was a real pleasure and I hope your readers will leave with the feeling that anything is possible for them and they are in control of their reality. Thank you Patricia!

TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN by ELENA CHEREMET Spirituality can be understood in different ways: so many people, so many opinions. For some, spiritual journey means religious experience and a search for the sacred; for others, it refers to more general beliefs. The idea of spirituality often includes connection to something bigger than ourselves, a quest for a deeper meaning of our existence. The wide range of perspectives makes total sense in respect to a personal spiritual journey. A Chinese proverb says it best: “there are many paths to the top of the mountain”. What’s good for one, doesn’t suit another and this is absolutely fine. There is no universal formula that would work for anyone and everyone; each one of us walks the route that is unique. As long as you are headed for the top, it doesn’t really matter which path you choose. Oftentimes, any particular path will not be straight and linear. It’s quite common to wander in different direction or even go backwards. The important thing is to keep the final destination in mind. My individual spiritual journey is about personal 27

growth and learning to be in harmony with myself and with the world. It does involve a higher power, however not in religious way. I believe the higher power is within us rather than on the outside: the power of the True Being that we all are deep inside this imperfect and fragile human body. This True Being is a part of the Universe where all parts are interconnected. The journey of the spirit can be seen as connecting to the True Being within, connecting to the Universe. This is how I see the top of the mountain. The path to the top, however, is not always so clear. As most people, I wander in the dark at times, or turn sideways, or go backwards. But nevertheless, each and every step takes me closer to the top. Because each and every step is a learning experience. My spiritual growth became a conscious process when I started assuming responsibility for my life and everything that happens to me. Just like most people, I used to have good and bad things happen and I used to think of them as a result of somebody or something elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will: luck, fate, timing, other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions or even divine interventions. I got top grades at school because the teachers were nice to me; I had a nice job because I was lucky; I had great kids because they were just born this way. While I had no problem with the good things given to me for any reason, the bad things often provided food for thought. 28

I got married when my husband fell in love with me. Why did I think it was enough for a happy marriage? Some people like me and others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Does this mean I am a good person or a bad one? When I get sick, is it because life is not fair? All these questions indicate an external locus of control, which means that you attribute your success or failure to outside influences. External locus of control is not constructive and interferes with personal growth. You become a puppet, and somebody else is always pulling the strings. It took me some time to realize that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being a puppet. Giving the control over my life to somebody else was not going to make me strong and whole and happy. I wanted all the strings in my own hands and I took them, one by one. Switching the locus of control from external to internal made all the difference. Internal locus of control is always associated with self-respect, good self-esteem, independence, and strong will, while external locus of control is linked to self-blame, victim thinking and low expectations from life. When we are giving the control over our lives to external factors, such as the country you were born 29

in, your family, the weather, etc., life is “happening” to us and we are just standing there and accepting whatever might come to be. Changing the locus of control to internal flips everything: you are no longer impassive object, you are the one building your life, laying it out piece by piece and attracting wellness. If there is one thing I would recommend changing, it is the locus of control. This is also one of the most important things we can teach our children. Signs your locus of control is internal: 1. You are no longer the centre of the universe. “Egocentric” means a child is not aware of the other people around him. His whole universe is centred on himself and his needs, he thinks that other people see, hear and feel exactly the same way he does. While egocentrism is a perfectly normal stage of cognitive development, it should be decreasing as we grow up. Unfortunately, people sometimes grow old without ever growing up. An egocentric adult is not interested in others, talks mostly about his own feelings and experiences, and sees other people from the point of view of how they can be useful to him. Egocentric people often have external locus of control. 30

2. You no longer care what other people think. Egocentric people are often the ones who want to be liked by everyone and get really upset when somebody disapproves of them. You know your locus of control is internal when you understand that other people’s opinions are just that—opinions. They have no effect on reality. They don’t change who you are. 3. You stay positive and optimistic. Life gets a lot happier when there is no one to blame for anything. When “faults” become challenges, bitterness and resentfulness give way to optimism. 4. You know that occasional failures are normal and see them as learning experience rather than your fault. 5. You accept what you can’t change and change what you can. Internal locus allows you to see what you can control and what you cannot. The weather, Dow Jones index and other people’s mood are outside you control, so you wouldn’t waste your energy on worrying about any of those. 31

6. You ask for help when you need it. Refusing to ask for help, no matter how much you need it, is a sign of emotional immaturity. Asking for help shows that you are strong enough to accept your weaknesses. 7. You take responsibility for what happens in your life. You understand that your life is a result of the choices youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making. If your life doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make you happy, be mindful of your choices and start making better ones. Internal locus of control is a very efficient tool that will make your path to the top of the mountain straighter and the whole journey more enjoyable.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A PARENT'S ROLE by JENNIFER LOW I’ve always prized myself at being a great mom. That has been my primary career and my most important life-work for more than 20 years now. I have two children that have been a blessing to my life and to my learning. My job as their mother was to nurture who they were, rather than to mold them into something that was not linked to their true spirit-nature. I loved my job. I still do. I cannot imagine my life without teaching, without being able to pour all of my know-how into someone as their need for it arises. That said, kids don’t always learn through knowledge. Actually, one hundred percent of their daily learning comes from watching our daily actions. The most natural thing for a parent to do to teach their child anything is to start by modeling. Children don’t learn anything by what you tell 34

them. Children are natural observers and imitators. That’s how they learned how to walk, that’s how they learned how to speak. In fact, if you look at a baby who wants to start communicating with his world, they intensely watch your mouth move when they first want to articulate words. They watch your actions, they watch what you do. Actions are what tells the world what is truly going on inside of you. Children know this instinctively. And so do parents! We all “know” this. We just aren’t always fully aware of this and therefore not always consciously tuned into it. So what are you doing right now to model the Law of Attraction to your child? Do you voice that you are grateful for the food you eat at every meal? Do you express how thankful and ‘lucky’ you are to live in the house you are in at the moment? Do you scream thank you to the Universe when you find a coin on the ground? Do you kindly and genuinely acknowledge other human beings 35

when you interact with them? What are you doing right now that demonstrates to your children that you are a giant magnet and that what you do and think about is what â&#x20AC;&#x153;happensâ&#x20AC;? to you and around you? The second layer of teaching would be to make them

aware.

Children

know

many

things

instinctively. Children are born with a purity of spirit. Then we, the adult, make sure to influence them to fit in. What if we could show them how to fit in while keeping their individuality and their specialness intact? What if we made a conscious effort, as a parent, to nurture that spirit-nature, and instead of quashing it, to actually make them aware of it and then allow it to bloom? Believe me, this is providing another tool in their toolbox of life! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a benefit, not a sin. The first element to change is awareness. This awareness is really what gives us the power of control over 36

ourselves, over our thoughts, our behaviours and even our development (our growth). How do you teach awareness? We teach this in the every day things we do. This starts from the moment they are born, from the moment they first open their eyes to you. Always take the time for themâ&#x20AC;Ś Talk to them, truly connect with them. Are you engaging in conversations with your child that will allow them to heighten their observational skills? Do you point out details in a situation you two find each other in? Do you take the time to make them slow down their time frame to take notice of the special things that happen around them on a daily basis? Do you stop to look for a bird you heard chirp, while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re walking down the street together? Do you make them pay attention to specific words people use in their conversation, and what it means about their state of mind? Do you make them aware of what others say or do around you? 37

Again, actions speak louder than words. The power of observing and of noticing detail will make them grow into a more aware human being. Making this a habit they grow up with will serve them well for a very very long time, perhaps even a lifetime. Awareness is a key piece of the teachings. And while awareness is great, what do we do with this? Well the next step would be the application of this awareness. Now that you are aware, you have control. Guiding children into this application is basically like guiding them on a set of train tracks. One rail is awareness, the other is application. When these two rails (the two elements) are perfectly placed in relation to one another, you can have some serious bullet train action happening. Applying awareness is like the first step to thought expansion. Awareness provides a breeding ground for questions and questions are the beginning of that expansion of knowledge that comes in via Curiosity Avenue. 38

So how do you â&#x20AC;&#x153;applyâ&#x20AC;? awareness? By facilitating the learning of the whole-child. Teach them how to observe and then show them how it could be applied in conjunction with new thoughts, how all of their experiences can be related to their learning and their growth and most of all, by making them notice that everything we hold around us is not isolated and compartmentalized, but rather interconnected and part of a greater whole. As a parent, it is your responsibility to show them the ropes. What you are doing in fact, is you are handing them over a magic wand for their entire life, as now they can start creating the life that they want, not the one they may be living by default. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big believer of always setting people up for success no matter what their age is. This is even more apparent in children as they naturally look up to you, the adult. They want to know from you how to do something well and obtain positive 39

reinforcement through praise. Always lead with the magic wand. After all, as a parent, you have been given the responsibility of changing the world…

UNIVERSAL LAWS AND LEARNING DISORDERS by THERESIA VALOCZY A learning disorder is often in the background of internal turmoil. The decrease in self-esteem, the inner wisdom suppression. In this case, the child is like a caged bird. Their wings have not expanded, and there is an inability to rise up in the air. They become depressed and failure is stored in his mind, heart, body. You can help your child's right and left hemispheres to balance using the Law of Creativity. When you use the Mandala coloring, the inner calm (relaxation) and the combination arm movement assists in balance. You can present this to him in the forms of letters through the coloring. When the soul is still, the subconscious becomes more inclusive. There is no right and wrong. The thinking makes it so. The Law of Polarity helps us understand that the school is neutral. As the ideas have been moving toward this. The letters convey the magic blessing when the mind and heart are open to receive it. What you focus on, you will get. - said the Law of 41

Attraction. Examine your child's thoughts and words of the school, learning and results. What are her/his dominant thoughts? What does she/he say frequently? What words to use? What conveys feelings? If you find that the dominant thoughts of bitterness, inefficiencies, failure and other saturated lowfrequency energy, help him to change focus. Show him that the mind is capable of anything. If you can imagine it, you can recieve it ... Do not be a failure at the center. Ask him questions related to the successes. Ask him what he did today, what caused him joy? Talk about it. If they think of strengths, weaknesses become dwarves. My son struggled with dyslexia. For a long time he did not like to express his thoughts in writing. Ugly was writing. He once said: "Mom, if I can speak the lessons in the school it would be easier. Mom, please believe me, I know.." He asked his teacher, who was not understanding the request. With this issue it was added to the list of the least popular, even feared persons. Which was equivalent to a further deterioration of the results. 42

When my son told me what had happened I was puzzled for a while. Then I remembered. If one focuses on strengths, weaknesses dwarfed" I asked him: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine himself in front of the teacher. What do you feel? How do you see your teacher? How do you see yourself?â&#x20AC;? He said that he see the teacher a clever, bespectacled giant and is afraid that he is as small as an ant and the giant will trample him. We started to play with the actors. The giant took off her glasses, smiling mouth was drawn to her, Using a magic wand we changed the teacher into the dearest, most sympathetic person who loves flying birds in the world. Thus, my son has become the bird and cheerfully chirped... We applied the Law of Forgiveness. My son had forgiven the school inconvenience; voltage is required due to the letters. He handed them to the Angels. The Law of Love helps embrace wih love the letters and words. My son was standing on a pink balloon affectionately calling to himself all the letters of the alphabet. 43

We take a perfected the Law of Creativity by deliberately using the words and prayer. Before we sat down to learn we invited the angels to help us in learning. "Archangel Michael, please cleanse my energies, Chakras, and my thoughts. Archangel Gabriel, please help in understanding and receiving information. I am open to learning, I would like to develop. Thank you.." The Law of Attraction is a maximized a NLP technique that we learnt. This is an Anchoring technique. After a brief visualization, in which my son imagined writing and reading successes, he struck three times in the air (A typical goal - soccer star experience!) and he said, "Yes, I did it!". This fixed the experience in his mind and body. The Law of Gratitude confirmed this. "Thank you, I am grateful for the knowledge, I am grateful for the words and the letters." The letters, words and sentences filled with magic wonders. In school relations, attitude, improved learning 44

outcomes, increased self-confidence, and the desire for knowledge improved. These little tricks can help to change your child's image of himself and learning. Use an open mind and an open heart the exercises.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION : A TEEN'S PERSPECTIVE by ANIKA LOW My mom has taught me many things. One of them is the Law of Attraction. I have believed in the Law of Attraction for most of my life. My mom teaches me things according to my personal style of learning: by doing. I learn best when I experience something myself, and when I make my own mistake. I talk to her about things that I go through at school and she brings to my attention how I am the one who brought it about in my life; how I had attracted it to myself. A phrase that she reminds me of often is â&#x20AC;&#x153;what you think about you bring about.â&#x20AC;? She tells me that in a tone of voice that suggests to me that she is very believing in what she states. The way the Law of Attraction works is not that complicated. It starts with a thought. It does not matter if that thought is good or bad. That thought will then be transferred to the Universe. Depending on how strongly that thought was believed in, the transfer will be strong or thin. Think of it as a rope: if the rope is strong or thick, it will not break as easily as a thin one. The thin one sometimes breaks, which is why some of your thoughts never get attracted. 47

Your mind thinks, and your heart does too. Feelings can contradict the thoughts that come from the head, or contrarily add emphasis to them. Feelings give the thoughts in your mind more meaning to you. Since the thoughts mean more to you, they will have more magnitude, and as such, attract more of your thoughts to your life. The feelings, along with the thoughts, can be negative or positive. There is no time limit to how long it takes for a thought to transfer to the Universe and back. It may take years or it may take mere seconds. It all depends on how strongly your conscious and subconscious mind believe in that thought, and how strong your emotions are towards it. For the Universe, there is no such thing as time. Time is a measurement that humans have developed. The Universe will deliver your thought back to you when the time is right for you. The more you have a clear vision of your goal, the more the Universe will know that you are ready for it. If you believe you cannot achieve a goal, then you are adding negative feelings to it, such as frustration, anger, etcâ&#x20AC;Ś You are then making it harder for yourself to reach that goal. Sometimes, reaching that finish line seems impossible, because of all the barriers you put up that are blocking your vision. This leads to you giving up, and the thought 48

of ever getting there just crumbles. The thought is never attracted and the goal is then never reached. Does it ever happen where you are talking about someone and somehow theyseem to appear? That is an example of the Law of Attraction. In that moment there was a thought about that person which was sent to the Universe and back. That thought did not take long to transfer over and make its way back. A similar example is when you are thinking of a person that could be on the other side of the world and then moments later that same person might call or text you. I horseback ride competitively. I have been doing so since I was five years old. I have always wanted that first place medal, that gold medal with the red ribbon to go around my neck. I had always thought of it each time I would go into the ring. It did not appear in my hands until three years after I had started imagining it. I always wanted it, but never visualized it in my hands. The more time it took for me to get it, the more the thought started to dissipate. Once I really started to see it as mine, only then did it come into my possession. Ever since then, I have been getting more first place ribbons. By knowing about the Law of Attraction, I am able to create my life quite deliberately. Not everything 49

in my life will be perfect and to my liking, and if it is not, I have the opportunity to make it better. Now that I understand that my inner world is connected to my outer world and vice-versa, I have become more aware of my thoughts. I can take a look at my reality and see what is going on in my mind and heart. The Law of Attraction is always in play. There are always thoughts going on inside your head. Your reality is a mirror of what is going on inside of you because of that Law. Whatever you think about strongly with emotion gets brought into your life. If you want your life to change you have to start with yourself. By teaching this to children, you are giving them a stepping stool. It will help them be aware of how to stay in control of their life, and make them happier with the life they create for themselves. They will also be able to understand themselves a little better by comprehending what goes on in their inner world by looking at their outer world.

Q&A FOR THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY by TOBY NEGUS What to pack for the journey? The heart, openness and passion. The heart because it holds the purpose and the light. Openness because the journey cannot be what you expect. Passion because it connects us to our heart and opens the gates of the mind. Who will I meet on the way? In your journey to yourself you will only meet one person but they will have a thousand faces; be kind to them all for they are all you. What will the weather be like on the journey? There will be sunny days and rainy days, days that will warm the soul and days that you would never have wished for but after they have passed, they will be thanked for the light they gave. What’s the destination? There is no final destination because each day, each hour and each moment each moment takes us to the 52

truth of who we already are. What will we be doing on the journey? On the journey we will craft beautiful gems from our passion for life. They will be as unique as our fingerprints. Some will be crafted in the dark, others in the light, all will shine, all will bring light to the world. What will we get from the journey? As we make conscious our spiritual journey we will come to know that we need nothing more than to be who we are, and that we are, were and always will be enough. As this awareness grows so will the compassion that you feel for yourself and this feeling will, in time, spread to all that you see. What pitfalls are there on the journey? The only pitfall is what is opposite to love and that is fear. It will have many guises but they will all have the same purpose: to make the mind closed by giving you expectations and conditions of how things should be and to move you away from your deeper heartfelt feelings about life. What mementoes should I take? 53

Remember to remember who you love to be for the world is full of many things that will cause you to forget. Being true to our self requires that we bring to mind often who we really wish to be. Not what others expect us to be or the images of who we should be that have been indoctrinated into us by the media. For each time we act without the truth of ourselves we dissolve a part of our integrity, causing us to forget a little more the song of our heart.

Remember that you are a spirit in human form: not so much a human learning to be spiritual, but rather a spirit learning to be human. It is our human form that has been given the profound ability to create and give meaning to life. For we may direct our consciousness to anything we choose and give voice to our love of life in anything we do. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Be not timid with your love for no great life ever happened without itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Being human is the journey we have chosen to make on this earth and our wish to express our spirit through the loves we feel about life creates life! It is just this that has created so much beauty and art in the world and it is the same with ourselves. We may do this in a thousand ways, in dancing, a picture, a laugh with friends, a beautiful garden or singing in the shower. All are beautiful, all bring light into the world and no light is ever forgotten.

Humanity is the point of who we are. We have appeared in this place and time as human. If this human form was of no value and this place (the earth) was insignificant then perhaps it would make sense to abandon its meaning in favour of the spirit within. After all, the meaning of being a human that is painted by the media gives little to aspire to. But what if the real meaning of being human is way beyond what we have been told?

What if there was a life that existed in a place where all was possible? Where that life could experience any feeling that it chose, where it could create any picture of life that it desired, where every thought and every breath was supported and blessed by the purpose it chose? Would you not love that life dearly, love the fact that you were on a sacred journey? This is the deeper truth of being human.

Remember everyone is making a spiritual journey, all are looking to free the spirit of life that they feel, respond to the heart of themselves, struggle to learn who they are so they can be happy and bring brightness into their lives and the lives of those they love. That journey may be conscious, semi-conscious or unconscious but it is what we do. We started this journey the moment we were born and it has never stopped. We can’t help but try, given who we are, to be what we love. Each day we start again, give our best, try with our heart to be what we love, we never stop. We never do less than our best, it may be a misinformed best or even a grumpy best but it’s always our best at the time. It’s been the story of our extraordinary life and we should forgive ourselves for any hurt we have done to ourselves because of who we thought we should have been but were not. We can always be better, stronger, wiser, brighter, more loving. Without the wish to be so we would never grow in ourselves but if that wish turns sour, ceases to be an inspiration and becomes a tyrant in our lives, we cast out our love and dismember ourselves, laying waste our peace and well being. We always do our best but sometimes do not forgive ourselves for not being perfect. We are a spirit learning to be human and the human qualities of compassion, courage and hope we learn 59

on our journey are profound gifts to ourselves and the world. Sometimes these are gentle learning’s, sometimes hard. And sometimes they can be terrible learning’s. When life’s experiences cause us a terrible learning, extinguishing our very grasp on who we think we are, we can find ourselves alone, in the dark, driven into the core of ourselves to find the will to raise ourselves in the face of what can appear as an impossible weight. We may not feel it at the time, but in our heroic moments, as we recreate ourselves anew, the purpose and the dedication we create, touches the very heart of life and we become so loved by creation. Although it is a learning that we would wish on no other, it leaves us with a profound gift, for in our endeavour to heal the pain, we craft a beautiful gem that has no comparison and the universe grows because of its presence. Remember that the real power of our life is drawn from our heart and the loves we feel about life. It is within our expression of these loves that we honour the spirit we are. These loves exist in the deep heart of ourselves and our ability to release them depends on the relationship we have with ourselves. It is the path we create on our journey to self love that clears the 60

way for the song of our heart to be heard. If we are only a fair weather friend to ourselves, hiding from the ghosts of our yesterdays and avoiding the part ofus that gets in the way of our imagined perfect we can never find peace and never truly manifest the loves we feel about life. We are the sum of ourselves, the good, bad and the ugly, and to name a part of us as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is to go to war, driving a sword into ourselves that splitsour very consciousness.

Remember that we are never really far away from our heaven on earth, it is only the thought that we are that makes it so. When we accept what is as it is and who we are as us, we break the illusion that we are alone and reunite our consciousness with the source of life.

ANGELS GUIDANCE: HOW THEY CAN HELP YOU CREATE THE LIFE YOU DESIRE BY PATRICIA LEBLANC, RMT, IARP â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can manifest anything that you want but it all starts with you and the guidance of your Angels.â&#x20AC;? Patricia LeBlanc Are you interested in learning how your Angels can help you to manifest anything that you want? If yes, you are in the right place as I will share with you how you can create the life you desire by using guidance from your angels. Beware, before you can use this system, you need to be crystal clear on what it is that you want to manifest. Unless you know what you truly want, it will be very hard to manifest it into your life. Once you know what it is that you want, start using this system and watch the magic begins! Here is my 11 step to Manifesting with the Angels that I have created and use on myself and my spiritual clients. Step 1 -Ask Your Angels for Help. Your angels want to help you but they follow the 64

rules of free will. Unless you are in immediate danger and it is not your time to go, your angels will not help you unless you ask them. Start asking your Angels what you truly want and see what happens. I find that working with my angels helps me to manifest quicker. My Angels also guide me when I should be asking for something better. Step 2 -The How is up to your Angels You need to have Faith that Your Angels will guide you exactly the way that you need to be. Stop trying to control how it will happen and just let go and have faith that it will happen. This was a really hard process for me as I needed to know exactly how everything will happen. When I learned to let go of the how and have faith, I was able to manifest easier and it was more fun for me. The Angels know what your Diving Perfect Timing is so sit back and enjoy the ride. Step 3 - Embrace the Magical Manifesting Power of Deservingness Make sure that you feel like you are worthy of manifesting whatever it is that you want. If you do not feel worthy, then you will not be able to manifest it. It is as simple as that. So start believing that you deserve and are worthy of manifesting everything that you want. Watch the 65

magic starting to happen and have fun in the process. Step 4- Develop an Abundance Mind-Set You need to start thinking like an abundant person as they think very differently than someone who has a poor abundance mind-set. You need to start believing that there is enough abundance for everyone. Everyone could in reality be billionaires if we all wanted too. The only thing stopping us, is ourselves. This was one of my major weak points as I did not believe that I was worthy of being Abundant. When I changed this mindset, wow, the things/opportunities/people that I was attracting were simply amazing. Unlimited Abundance was mine to claim. Step 5- The Higher Energy you are in = Faster Manifestation The higher frequency that you vibrate the faster that you will be able to manifest whatever it is that you want to manifest. You want to come from an energy of love and gratitude as it is the highest energy frequency. You also want to take good care of your body and watch what you eat as certain foods will drain your energy which in turns means you will manifest at a slower rate than you should. When 66

you feel your energy level go down, you need to evaluate who you are surrounding yourself with, what you are saying to yourself as well as what are you eating? It is also a great time to go for an energy healing sessions, which I can help you with, so you can let go of the energy blocks that are holding you back. You can also do a quick meditation, take in a yoga or Pilate session or even go for a nice walk in nature. Step 6 - Do the Work You need to take action. It is as simple as that. For years I followed more or less this system but I would not take action. Let me tell you that I did not accomplish much due to the lack of action. When I Started taking action, boy did I start manifesting amazing things into my life. I am just starting and now nothing can hold me back. I make it a point to take at least 1 action a day towards my goals. If I can do it, so can you! Step 7- Visualize Success. You need to visualize that you already have what you are manifesting into your life. You need to not only visualize it but feel like it is already here. When you are able to do this, wow, your results will be magical. If you have a hard time visualizing, create a vision board. On your vision board put 67

everything that you want to manifest in your life. Step 8 - Always Say Positive Affirmations Once you know what you want, turn them into affirmations. Use only Positive affirmations. I start by writing them down and then I record them and upload 1 copy into my cell phone and then another one into my laptop. I make it a point to listen to them several times a day including reading them in the morning and at night time as I have them on a nice colorful paper beside my bed and at my desk. It also helps to keep me focus, which is very important especially when you are being challenged. And you will at times! Step 9 - Keep your Focus Stay focus on what you truly want as the Universe and Angels will test you to see how bad you want. Most people will get discourage and give up on what they want in life, but the really successful manifesters will keep going until they achieve whatever it was that they wanted. For me, quitting is not an option as I sacrificed too much to get to where I am. So instead of quitting when you feel like it, evaluate what you can change. Remember, everything happens in perfect divine timing. 68

Step 10 - Allow Yourself to Receive. It is very important that once the Angels brings you what you want to that you receive it with open arms. It may come in the way of an opportunity, idea or the actual thing/person that you have manifested. You can do everything right but if you do not receive it, it will not happen. It is as simple as that. If you get an idea, act on it. Ever had an idea come up, and then someone else that you did not know acted on the same idea. The reason why this happened is because the angels will give the same idea to at least 10 to 15 people. You may ask why? Because they know maybe 1 of those people will actually act on the idea. So next time you have an idea, take action. Step 11 - Keep Your Divine Contract Honor your word to your angels and be grateful when you receive what it is that you manifested. You can change your mind about what you want but if you keep changing your mind all the time, you will not manifest what you want as you are breaking your divine contract. Perfect example of this, is your soul mate. One day you decide you want to manifest your perfect soul mate, and then the next day, you do not. You are telling your angels, you do not know what you want. Therefore, they will not give it to you until you are crystal 69

clear. I have provided you with the steps to my 11 step process for manifesting with the angels and included a brief overview of each step, if you would like to learn more about it or would love for me to teach you the entire system in detail, then please contact me at www.patriciaeleblanc.com/work-with-patricia for a free 30 minute strategy consultation to see if working together is a perfect fit for both of us. Always remember that there is enough abundance for everyone and that you truly deserve to be abundant. Happy Manifesting!

MANIFESTING: CO-CREATION by REBA LINKER Anyone who’s dipped a toe in the manifesting waters has probably heard something like: “our thoughts create the blueprints for our reality.” And this is true. However, we can love the details of our blueprint and yet at the same time… … allow space for the universe to work in its own mysterious way its miracles to perform. This is manifesting, beyond the basics. The big lesson is not in the cool stuff we can bring into our lives, but the deeper healing message that we are not alone. We are in partnership with universe. Like two partners in a dance, we co-create the dance as it unfolds. We are not here to dominate life, nor to be crushed by it. We are here in creative partnership with it. In terms of our manifesting, how can we make room for this partnership? One way is to cultivate a slightly soft focus when it comes to our affirmations. We leave space for the universe to do its part. This means, we do not get stuck on the details. We avoid specifics, such as: “I see myself receiving a check for $112,587.75.” 72

The specificity of that statement makes anything but that exact amount seem like a failure, which it most assuredly is not. Opening to the universe’s creative contribution is a declaration of faith in the integrity of the partnership and in the goodness and beneficence of life itself. It is an avowal of confidence that the universe has something better in store for us, and that what we are receiving is the exact right thing at the right time, for the right reason, even if we do not yet understand what that may be. Deadlines, too, can become traps: “I see myself receiving $15,000 by September 25.” Again, the specificity makes anything but reaching that deadline register as a failure, and that is not a message we need to reinforce! It could just be that the universe is operating on a slightly different time frame than we are! When this happens, rather than focus on quantifiable measures, we can keep honing in on the emotion we wish to experience: “I gratefully and happily accept a check for tens of thousands of dollars.” and “I enjoy an engaging, satisfying career that rewards me emotionally and financially.” and 73

“All my needs are met with ease and joy.” No Black Magic! We also can take care not to aim for other people’s possessions. Not: “I see myself in Susie’s job.” Instead, we can imagine a job like the one Susie has, with the qualities (successful, rewarding, prestigious, exciting, etc.) that we find attractive about it. Do not wish for Susie’s job, Susie’s house, or Susie’s husband, even if we think we might want a job, house, or husband just like the one Susie has. Why? Simply because the old saying is true: What goes around comes around! Let’s manifest abundance, not payback! This approach affirms the rightness of the universe, and our place within it: What is right for me is as unique as I am. What is best for me is available to me. I declare faith in a universe with enough abundance for everyone. I create win/win scenarios in which my gain does not mean anyone else’s loss, but rather the opposite: My intention is for my happiness and gain to elevate and increase the abundance and wellbeing of everyone around me. 74

In terms of a working definition of success, I think that pretty well nails it! Let the universe work out the details of how to deliver our dreams to us. We can imagine a perfect husband... ...AND be surprised by love when it arrives. We can work towards a dream job... ...AND be amazed by the exact form it takes. We can set out to reach a destination... ...AND be surprised where the journey takes us. When we trust in the universe, our manifestations are more perfect than we could have imagined! When we feel the universe’s loving participation in our lives, it is an experience of GRACE. I wish you success and joy as you walk this amazing path of the gift of your own power. Your dreams are your birthright. They are here for you gifts just waiting to be claimed and opened by you. May you be blessed to know your own power to live your dreams to the fullest! May you be blessed, now and always, with abundance, peace, and joy!

RECLAIMING YOUR POWER by NATASHA BOTKIN Have you ever awoken into what seems like a bad nightmare and you are actually awake? It feels as if your voice has been taken from you, and try as you might this steady structure remains in effect, thus affecting every essence of your being. I am a survivor of domestic violence, and know all too well what it feels like to voice my ideas, hopes, dreams and desires only to be told to hush and that these are ridiculous. In the beginning, I had a stamina that disallowed this mistruth, and then like one picking at a scab, it would bleed into an open wound. The reverence disallowing me to speak from an authentic voice of who I truly am. When I tried to reach out, the ones who told me to “sit down and shut up,” did nothing, but hang their heads and leave me to “battle” this alone. Which did not help with the isolation factor that an abuser will reveal in; it was like his own personal victory and acceptance of the hallow lies that he procured. No one deserves to be placed in this situation, and too often I hear, “Well, just leave.” You see, I admitted this to so few, as this is the malice that even kind individual’s speak. Do they not believe that one who is in this situation has not thought 77

that a million times over? One of the biggest reason that one stays, is lack of financial support and homelessness. This was the biggest reason, that I did not “just leave.” I was battling cancer: I was in survival mode of my life. In more ways than seemed possible. This is how he was able to sneak in and slowly Weddle away the layers of confidence; my family did not value me; nor did he, so who did. During this time, I would also learn that both my children were on the autistic spectrum and have multiple disabilities. There was so much going on, that try as I might, the poison began to seep into every part of me. The first point I must make is do not judge. You do not have the right to criticize or judge another when you walk in on a page number 992 to their entire story. Rather listen with an open ear and heart. When one’s voice and personal is stripped away; it is like taking a light bulb and smashing it to pieces. Try as one might, you cannot just put another bulb into place and turn on the switch. There is a process that one must go through and everyone’s journey is different. What remains is the ability to return to loving yourself in the most brilliant and magical ways. You are worth everything and deserve to be heard, seen and loved in so many ways. Often times one 78

who has their voice or power snuffed is in invisible mode. I went into a mode, where I was seen, but even when I voiced a concern or my name; it was like I had not said anything at all; so one day I just stopped even trying to speak. This is what ultimately almost ended my life; if I had not squeaked out the last sound I made; I would not be here today. Let your voice be heard; even if it shakes; speak. Not everyone will agree with you; then again, those may not be people you should surround yourself with. You deserve to be heard, to allow your divine voice to speak from the deepest part of your heart and soul. At one point, I felt like it was stolen from me, and slowly I have stripped layer by layer away to reveal the most magnificent woman, that is me. At one point along the reclamation of myself, I spoke that I wanted to reconnect with my true authentic self; and yet, she was shy to emerge. So shy, that when true love showed, I mistakenly sent him away. I had locked away in a box the DV shame and guilt, and much of the time was able to dance with my true love; and nonetheless a trigger made me fall back into the dark shadows. I was not finished unearthing me; part of him knew this; then again the pain that crept in was so great, I spent time re-learning the value of me. I am the most valuable jewel and like all jewels, I deserve to be out of the box allowing myself to illuminate and 79

shine my true authenticity. We are all magnificent light beings who are here to shine in a joyful dance of reverie. No one is allowed to capture the essence of our being and lock us in a tower. Because in truth, that it was it felt like for me. At one point, I was even angry with my true love for not rescuing me. He would remind, me that â&#x20AC;&#x153;sorry, that is not for me.â&#x20AC;? He was accurate, this is up to me, and yet I had no idea how to participate in this journey. Books did not help, a course did not assist me, and working with a shaman to help me clear layers only touched a brief existence. My soul calling out for more; dive deep within me. I hold the medicine, the gifts and the key; I am to be the one to unlock me. A powerful journey came to me, a revelation of sorts. Mother Mary, Archangels and Angels as my guides taking me deeper that I even thought was possible. Somedays the fear would encroach, and I would have to metaphorically sit on the side and wonder, what was being shown. This is to not say that I gave up. A gentle persuasion reminding me to once again board the divine submersimal submarine and dive sweet girl. Dive I did, and when I rose to the surface, what was shown was beyond anything that I have seen; I began this dance and shied away from it. Is it 80

possible that others would benefit? Once I saw it in that manner; it was too selfish to keep to myself. This needs to shine in our world! I created a program called Reclaiming Your Power. We go on the most incredible journey of capturing the ego story and help you tap into your soul contract.

THE MAGICAL WORLD OF NUMBERS JULY …. rest, relax, vacation Even though the month of July starts out with picnics, fireworks and parades, this seventh month of the calendar year is just the opposite energetically. Chill out, kick back, go on vacations in July should become the norm. Statistically, more people go on vacation in July than any other month of the calendar year. Somehow the soul knows it needs to rest. Physically, one can feel moopy-doopy under this seventh calendar month influence. “And God rested on the seventh day” certainly explains the sabbatical energy of July. As a transit in a personal chart during any given month, a Seven says slow down your life. If one does not slow down, their health can be used by the soul to just shut them down for many days with flu, colds, bodily injuries, disappointing relationships, financial woes that just need to be dealt with. As a personality, I call this birthday Number Seven the Greta Garbo energy....”I vant to be alone”! Have you ever been to a party where all are displaying physical signs of hilarity and yet there is this one individual who seems to be “somewhere 83

elseâ&#x20AC;?? Appearing unemotional, aloof, quiet and reserved, one gets the distinct impression he is viewing all emotionalism as rather immature. If you have had this experience, you just might be in the presence of a person born on the seventh, sixteenth or twenty-fifth of any given month. Don't be misled, however. Beneath this analyzing, secretive energy breathes a sensitive and caring individual. Frequently, the emotions of the Number Seven are so buried in its spiritual and intuitive chemistry that they may never see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;light of dayâ&#x20AC;?. Finding spiritual connections in aloneness, this mystical and deep personality can drift off into philosophical dissertations that leave its listeners scratching their heads in wonderment. The Number Seven is not one of the best financial energies so choices need to be made to keep monies in balance. The Number Seven temperament has the potential to be good in business but frequently does not follow through on its plans. On the other hand, there is a tendency to complete all projects in general. The Number Seven is the ego Number causing an analytical and skeptical approach to life to be predominant. This then leads to a sense of 84

perfectionism which in turn can cause difficulties in relationships. To be involved in a marriage with a Number Seven takes a special person who understands Number Seven's need to be alone. This is not the best basis for a fifty-fifty arrangement! The key is to unlock the bottled-up emotions that could create the rough times and once that is done and understood, Number Seven's personality tends to be a loyal and faithful marriage partner. Counteracting their fears and loneliness issues, Number Seven partners settle nicely into family life and greatly appreciate the affectionate gestures of loved ones. Number Seven energies tend to express love and feelings from a spiritual base and thus seem to have difficulty returning all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hugs and kissesâ&#x20AC;? in an effusive, emotional way. When adding the month, day and year of birth together resulting in a Seven Number, know there will be a quest to discover truth within as the hallmark of this incarnation. However, the ego and mind are extremely powerful in this individual thus causing thinking and analyzing to override the awesome intuitive and clairvoyant energy ability it possesses. The natural urge is to intellectually know and then to obtain specifics from a technical point of view all of life's experiences. The middle years of life from 85

thirty to fifty-five, gently and intuitively nudges the human to develop a spiritual approach. It is this pushing by the soul that makes the personality want to be alone more. In the aloneness, the Higher Self can get through the ego and mind. Nature offers a very good support system by prompting the Number Seven to want to be in nature, around water, in the mountains or desert providing the solitude to just think. At heart, Number Sevens love change and travel. They have a very restless nature. Their interest in far off lands often makes them extremely good writers, researchers, painters or poets. Interests also lie in computers, science or the occult. Whatever their interests, though, their own peculiar philosophy eventually creeps into their work. Number Sevens care little about the material things of life. If they become wealthy from their ideas or methods of business they are just as likely to make donations from their wealth to charities or institutions. Although the Number Seven may say very little, he observes a great deal. His sense of dignity and the need for the finer things of life lead Number Seven to experience the joy of living. In an emergency situation, the Number Seven's first response is to pray. 86

This deeply introspective Number Seven energy, if off course, can be interpreted as “depression”. To cover the hyper-intuitive rumblings going on within, Number Sevens may also turn to abuse of drugs and alcohol to quiet their inner selves down! On a Sunday or Monday, the luck of Number Seven can intensify if various shades of green with white and yellow are worn. Moonstone, “cat-eye” or pearls round off the Number seven's lucky energy. This quiet, introspective Number Seven personality brings to us all the gentle, spiritual vibrations that are so needed to slow us down in this fast-paced world we live in. Number Sevens need to be a solitary figure, connecting the earth energy to all of us through it's intuitive and clairvoyant abilities. In doing so, it would justify it's reputation as the “Alone Ranger”. AUGUST…money, power, authority August, the Eighth month of our calendar year, finds our energy picking up in a more dynamic way from the slow-down of July. The practical pace of life accelerates and mental reasoning about the “now” kicks in. The Number Eight applies to the 87

human condition in more ways that just a calendar monthly influence. The perfect metaphor for the Number Eight is Frosty the Snowman. The Number Eight represents two worlds-the material and the spiritual. Therefore, it is like two circles touching each other and working together just like Frosty. Not only does the natural physical form of Frosty look like the symbol Eight but the fact that he has such a cold exterior yet warm, feeling heart only accentuates the similarities. Numbers are simply codes of information like a language. The codes, we call letters associated with the Number Eight are H, Q, and Z. There should be only one of these letters in a birth name to be balanced in its experience. However, where more Eights appear, then life, especially in younger years can be a bit challengingâ&#x20AC;Śmoney and emotional power-wise. Number Eight personalities and energies express their love from a more mental and logical level and because of their deep and intense nature, others, on first approach, may feel that Number Eights are emotionally cold individuals. This obviously can lead to misunderstandings in the early part of relationships. However, anyone who believes the Number Eight to be uncaring and 88

lacking in affection is in for a big surprise! Ironically, when it comes to love with passion, intensity and warmth, Number Eight wins the prize. He would most likely be attracted to those born in January, March, May or October with birthdays Three, Four, Six or Eight. Although not inclined to be extravagant, Number Eight individuals are extremely generous. Number Eight is noted for large gestures such as donating money to institutions or becoming a collector. Striving to maintain balance between family and career, career usually winning out, provides the Number Eight personality with those trappings to loved ones that show off the fruits of its labors The latest model car, the grandest house in town are all to show the world that Number Eight has the money and power to accomplish. Whether the Number Eight is oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday number, emotional self number from birth name vowels or Life Path Number from month, day, year totals, this born executive is inclined to start managing in whatever situation he steps into whether it be family, homemaker, corporate office or bank. Number Eight dislikes waste, does not like to be rushed or controlled in any way, and usually displays fairness in its dealings. As a boss, he is usually a responsible leader to his workers and co89

workers and they will have a tendency to trust his integrity. This manager operates in a systematic and methodical style using wise and practical judgment. Partnerships are agreeable as long as Eight controls the interest and deals with all the finances. Thus, the business world usually attracts the Number Eight where he can put into play his progressive and creative ideas. However, Number Eight is also the Number of Saturn, the Lord of Karma so caution must prevail. The adage “as you sew so shall you reap” applies intensely and many an unethical “creative idea” has brought Number Eight to his financial “knees” in bankruptcy court! In ancient Tarot symbols, Number Eight is the STRENGTH card or the JUSTICE card depending on the deck used. Either way, human justice is required. The motto for Number Eight is “I use” so balance, justice and strength are required in all human relationships. Children born in August seem, from the beginning, to have an older person’s head on its shoulders. There will be a tendency to associate with children older than itself. Of all children, the Number Eight birth month child is the most misunderstood and succumbs to bouts of loneliness. Parents need to encourage their Number Eight child to take an open 90

and positive approach to life. Overcoming the negativity associated with the Saturnian influence is very important as they seem to be affected by stressful circumstances more than anything else. This influence usually lasts between ages birth to twenty-eight. The actual day of birth shows more clearly the energy of Number Eight greatly influencing life energetically between ages thirty and fifty-five. Whether the birthday number is eight, seventeen or twenty-six some basic temperament issues apply. Although highly skilled as a manager and executive, the ability to be a fine judge of character is in play. Although more fixed in their ways, this Number vacillates between extremes of thrift one minute and extravagance the next. Should the birth number be seventeen, writing ability and analytical skills get added into the character traits. This Number should actually strive to be the boss and get others to oversee the details of day-to-day operations. The more creative or artistic of the Eights is number Twenty-Six. This energy likes dealing with humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire for the better, material, comforts in life. Of all the Eights, this Number holds a concentration upon family and loved ones and is known to be quite generous in supplying comforts 91

to other family members outside their own. Just as in the story of Frosty the Snowman, it is the warmth of love (the sun) that melts the cold exterior allowing the real Frosty to be born again â&#x20AC;&#x153;another dayâ&#x20AC;?.
