Back to Basics

 
What happened to Summer?  I must have blinked again.  We jammed alot of events in those last few weeks of August.  We even ended it with a Psychic Fair on a cold and rainy day.  This month seems to be shaping up the same way.  Please click on the link above for a complete list for September.  Too many classes to list and special guests to greet.  Don’t miss out!!
 
Please note that we have gone back to regular hours.  We will close earlier Mon-Wed and an hour earlier on Sunday.  We will be closed on Monday, September 7, Labor Day.
 
I’ve been reading Richard Bach’s new novel “Hypnotizing Maria”.  You remember him, he wrote “Jonathon Livingston Seagull” & “Illusions”.  It’s back to basics.  Richard writes “If hypnosis is nothing but suggestions accepted, then a whole lot of the world we see around us must be paintings from our own brush.”  What suggestions have we agreed with and used to paint our surroundings?  They come from every angle.  I know that I have blocked myself with some suggestions that I told myself were the truth.  There are some I have been working on and others I still have to unfold.  I love this life of inquiry.  Don't bury your head in the sand.  Now is the time to question those beliefs that hold you back.  Who would you be, what would you do if the sky was the limit?  Are you looking through the eyes of love or fear?
 
Many Blessings,
Carol

The Energies of September
 
By Daniele DeVoe, Channel and Healer
 
The Rune for September is: Teiwaz – The Spiritual Warrior  
 
As autumn arrives and preparations begin for the winter to come, Teiwaz, The Spiritual Warrior, suggests that we don't go into hibernation! This year: take on your authority, claim your truth, live your dreams, practice using thoughts which strengthen and bless you and use the autumn and winter to enhance your connection to your own Inner Being.
 
It’s interesting living in northern Michigan year round… The tendency is to focus on the ‘scary winter driving’ and the outrageous heat bills. This winter the Spiritual Warrior plans to see the beauty in the snow which is almost always freshly white and provides so much free exercise (!)… And this autumn the Spiritual Warrior recommends that we take time to enjoy the magnificent colors, the cool air, the clear skies that sparkle with myriad stars and, when you're really lucky, the Northern Lights.
 
The Spiritual Warrior stays in command of his or her own peace, joy, bliss and growth while teaching others to do so by their example. Teiwaz invites you to join all the other warriors who are focusing their intention to do the same.
 
(Reference book: The Book of Runes, by Ralph Blum
 
The card from the Psychic Tarot Oracle Deck for September is: Patience (Reversed)
 
What are you waiting for? If you truly want change, growth and enlightened bliss… September’s Psychic Tarot card suggests that it’s time to stop being so patient and to go out and pursue your dream(s)!
 
And yes… it’s absolutely okay to ‘keep your day job’ and enjoy your ‘safety net’. But please… use this September to get started on your dream in some way…
 
A few simple suggestions are: Start a vision board; journal about your dream; choose one action step you can perform each day to begin creating your dream; invite your friends to start a brainstorming group; meditate; organize your ideas into a prioritized checklist and get to work on the first item…
 
And isn't it interesting that the Rune and the Card are both urging us to get busy? Must be time for your dreams to come true… What do you think?!
 
Namasté, dear Lightworkers!
 
Daniele

"Energy Medicine Kit"
 
By Missy Purcell,  
 
Interested in "upgrading" your most valuable resource? - No, not your computer - YOU!!   
 
How about a simple, practical way to make this happen? -  Please read on.... 
 
With all the change going on around (and through!) us, one of the best and easiest ways to keep "your instrument clean" as one of my teachers called it, is to clear and balance your energy on a regular basis. 
 
Spending - no - Investing a few minutes each day with Donna Eden's simple and effective techniques will show you the way to enhanced health, vitality, and clarity of mind. 
By sharing these simple moves with family and friends you can multiply the benefits by "paying it forward". 
 
Imagine, with me, a day when you and your family all begin your morning with a quick and easy energy routine that provides these benefits:
 
*** Balances overall energy, boosting your energy levels
*** Strengthens your immune system
*** Helps focus and sharpen your mind
*** Stabilizes your emotional energies
*** Develops positive habits in your energy system and fosters your overall health      
 
Now, imagine how differently your day might unfold - starting-up with these advantages!
 
While I highly recommend Donna Eden's wonderful books, "Energy Medicine" and "Energy Medicine for Women", the tools in her "Energy Medicine Kit" make it even easier to learn and share these empowering techniques. 
 
 
You know the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words"?  That's how I feel about this Energy Medicine "First Aid Kit".  It delivers the "Goods" and is a terrific value!
 
The Energy Medicine Kit includes:
 
** A DVD that demonstrates and teaches you 15 restorative exercises
** A CD guiding you through 21 more techniques for specific conditions
** 43 handy, portable Cards with photos of every exercise in the kit
** A 28-page booklet that teaches you the fundamentals of energy medicine
** A 1-inch cut glass crystal, an additional tool for directing healing energy
 
Getting started is as easy as popping the DVD into your computer or player...and it's suited to all levels - from the beginner to advanced energy practitioners.  Enjoy!
 
Infinite Blessings to You....Missy

SUPPLY
By Marilyn Raffaele, Channeler

Everyone is concerned about money these days and for good reason, financial empires as we have heretofore known them, are collapsing.  It is a whole new ball game out there with more changes to come.  The world is moving into another, higher energy and the old way of doing things is no longer being supported in this new energy.  Those that believe they pull all the financial strings, can put all the cards they want into this house of cards, but is still a house of cards with no energy to keep it in place.  

We are used to seeing things done from an energy of "I don't have, therefore I will do what it takes to get, even if it means stepping on you to get it".  This reflects the third dimensional energy of duality and separation.  We are now moving into the energy of Oneness,(fifth dimensional energy)  and those businesses that serve,  allowing  the flow of give and take (love and gratitude) to be their governing energy,  will survive  because they are already  in the new energy, that   fifth dimensional energy flow of love and gratitude.  Those businesses that function from a consciousness of "I don't have" (duality and separation) are the ones that will be leaving.  

With time, we evolve and truth begins to move from an intellectual knowledge to an actual state of Consciousness.  Then we will see our outer world changing to reflect that.

The secret of supply is this; that which I am seeking, I AM."   
(Quote from Joel S. Goldsmith-Infinite Way books)

I have been working on sharing the latest (and greatest lol) information for effective personal growth and after much hard work, I am confident that I have finally figured out the most common reason that people are not fulfilled!  Yes, we are usually “Chasing a Memory” of a time when we felt incredible, were excited about life and believed in endless possibilities and things were going our way.  With that being said, what happened?
 
Most people, when they are kids, are in a state of “love”, which means that their consciousness is founded on identifications and perceptions that are love-based, not fear based…they are self-loving.  “Ah, the innocence of children…”  Yes, that is correct. See, children form their identities based on what they experience and perceive from their role-models (usually parents).  This means that children are making decisions about who and what they are as a person and when they come into this world, they know that they are worthy of love and begin to make decisions about themselves that support self love; and that includes abundance, opportunities, health, etc.  But something tends to happen to people that literally changes them, and causes them to feel differently about themselves, and usually their lives change because of it.  Now, this change usually happens when we are children, but can happen at an older age as well. 
 
If we start out self-loving, we are experiencing fulfillment, joy, happiness and we are balanced within ourselves.  That balance within makes our experience of the external world balanced and more easily manipulated towards our desires.  Below is what I am calling “The formula (or equation) for the Point of Denial P.O.D.” which is where things “go wrong”...  DO YOU 'CLICK HERE FOR MORE' MAGIC LOL

Continuing To Explore
 
I finished reading Atlas Shrugged (I had to resist starting again from the beginning) and I'm now in the middle of The Fountainhead, both by Ayn Rand. My mind is truly playing in Ms. Rand's philosophies, so I'm going to continue to explore - like the last blog.

For the most part, the heroes and heroines are so passionate in their beliefs, values, and standards in the pursuit of the work they love, that they don't care what other people think. Can you just imagine that for a minute?

I know that as I've gotten older, and this is true for many, I care less about what other people think of me. It is very freeing! I used to go to great lengths to make sure my hemlines were exact, that my bra wouldn't show no matter how I turned, and every hair was in place. Today I'm only upset if one pant leg is shorter than the other, I make sure my bra is close to the same color as my top, and I have wash-and-go hair that often looks a little on the wild side. I like that.
