Called the language of light and science of compassion, its images and shapes are embedded in DNA, mandalas, pyramids, crystals and well, everything. Anyone who has ever gazed at a spider's web, meditated on a mandala or Yantra, visited a pyramid, walked a labyrinth, or peered through a microscope has felt the effects of sacred geometry. Now the Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck introduces an entirely new way for you to gain access to this wisdom and unlock its power. The set includes a 128-page 6X9 paperback book with 64 full-color oracle cards in a beautifully boxed set for $35. See this page for more info or to order.

Memory Lane: Children and Potential by Louise LeBrun / Author, Speaker, Educator and Founder of the WEL-Systems Institute Today's conversation is not about seeing ourselves through the products our children have become but being able to see our children for who they are unfolding to become. This affects us... profoundly. After all, we are the ones who can shape their worlds and their lives. The question really is: Can we trust the innate intelligence that comes with and guides every child? Or do we feel the need to control and shape our children, believing that they are innately harmful to themselves and others; and must be folded to an image we carry for them?       Read full article >>> Ayurveda and Astrology by Ved Kovid Durgadas / Director of Arogya Ayurvedic Health Ltd The birth-chart and chart in Vedic astrology is basically a "karmic map" of our subtle and causal bodies and reveals the various karmas and like-works that, in any one given lifetime, we have to work out, especially relative to the subtle aspects such as the mind and causative factors behind physical disease (often congenital and life-threatening or incurable). In this system, there is no fate or destiny. We are bound by our own actions and their own various reactions as a result of such - hence, even congenital diseases and our constitutional nature are born from subtle factors arising from past-actions that are revealed through the charts. Vedic astrology has many vargas or harmonic charts, which also reveal the complex combinations or "karmic significators" of the past, just as physical examination of a patient reveals physical symptoms, their manifestation and origin biologically.       Read full article >>> Headaches and Migraines? by Susun S. Weed / Herbalist, Author, Founder of the Wise Woman Center and Ash Tree Publishing "Oh, how densely packed your head is, my sweet," sighs Grandmother Growth. "I'm afraid there's no room for new growth. If you could empty your mind, leave off worrying and planning for a while, and give in to the chaos and its random pleasures, just for a short time, I think you'd feel less pressure and your head would hurt less. The energy of your womb now circulates inside you and throbs in your head. Sit quietly; breathe out through the top of your head and imagine the breath falling gently down to earth. Rest your forehead against the earth. Place this cool stone on your third eye. Your Crone's Crowning comes closer. This is the work of your body; let your mind rest."       Read full article >>>  FEATURED RETREAT Sewall House YOGA RETREAT RELAX RENEW MAY TO OCT Island Falls, Maine Yoga / meditation / nature / lakes / hikes / great food Ongoing yoga / meditation retreats since 1997 Teacher training SEPT 200 hours/workshops - see our events!

Awakening Sessions always begin with a CLR so that you get both the reading and energywork. For a limited time, Awakening sessions are the same cost as a CLR so that the energywork is basically a free service. We offer this because of the ongoing 'finish up' energy of clearing old patterns that is still creating unwanted and intense situations to bring the unresolved energy to light. Guidance and I want all of you to flourish in peaceful abundance and love in 2017 and to move through these difficulties with ease. This is the best way that I know how to help my Light Family and I'm delighted to do this for you for a limited time. For more info or to reserve a session visit this page.  FEATURED BOOK Clean Out Your LifeCloset (Volume 1 of The Self-Development Project) by Rev. Corbie Mitleid "I keep getting stuck on a problem..." "I can't get out of my own way..." "I'm afraid I'll fail..." "I'm just not good enough!"

ANGEL INCARNATE: ONE BIRTH FREE DOWNLOAD Listen to CJ tell the story of the Seraphim's appearance to her in 1997 and what she's learned: See this page. CJ Martes has spent the past 25 years touching the lives of thousands in over 50 different countries as a spiritual teacher. Her life has been deeply rooted in supernatural experiences since childhood. In 1997 she had an up close encounter with 13 Seraphim Angels. The purpose of their visit was to affirm her life purpose and to tell her she would write a book called Angel Incarnate. 15 years later, she would publish that story and fulfill their prophecy! One Birth is a race against time as human and spiritual worlds collide, leaving Catherine caught somewhere in between. She is suddenly pushed by unknown forces toward a destiny that she wants no part of while being challenged by her fears, disbelief, and a complete lack of control. Step onto the roller coaster with her as she is propelled toward an unexpected journey of discovering who she was born to be! Official Website: angelincarnate.com. Order from Author CJ Martes or also from Amazon. Also available on Kindle.  FEATURED PRACTITIONER Spirit Babies Most mothers understand that it is possible to communicate with the unborn child. This does not have to stop if the pregnancy ends in miscarriage or termination. As an intuitive, I have developed the ability to help apparently infertile couples achieve their goal. They are helped to connect with the spirit of the child who was lost to them, or not yet conceived. Before birth, babies are undoubtedly aware of their mother's and father's thoughts and feelings. They are in still the spirit realm, therefore less restricted than most humans in their field of knowing. A couple who have suffered a miscarriage may need help in communicating with the child, which may have reasons for being afraid to come. Spirit Babies are very specific about the reasons for choosing their parents (citing interests the parents have, which they had not told me) or past life/geographical data about the parents which are relevant to the choice of parents. Do you wish to communicate with the child you are meant to have? My focus is helping mothers learn to communicate with their Spirit Babies (future children) after miscarriage or before conception, which is often followed by successful conception. My new book Spirit Baby: What You Can Learn from your Future Child is now available for sale through Amazon: Amazon US - see this page Amazon UK - see this page Christine Nightingale nightiangel92@hotmail.com nightingalehealing.com  FEATURED ARTIST The Visionary Art of Francene Hart Francene Hart is an internationally recognized visionary artist whose work has been widely published in books and magazines and hangs in the homes of art collectors and the offices of healers and seekers around the planet. She was summoned by spirit in 2001 to the Big Island of Hawaii and is now painting, swimming and living her bliss in bless'ed Hawaii. All of her images, including "Catch a Falling Star" (pictured) are available as Full Color Prints or ArtCards. She says about this image: "I have long used images of the Divine Feminine - the Goddess in every woman. Catch a falling star ... hold a part of the Universe. It's about saving up wishes, or miracles." Please see this page for more information or to order.
