It's been quite hectic here and I didn't get a chance to share with you about last Saturday's Free Workshop.

I had several processes planned for an experiencial workshop helping people move into a clearer knowing about their life's purpose and their spiritual journey.  As I was doing final preparation I had a vision  . . . two actually.  In one, I saw myself as a Visual Therapist years ago.  I loved that job because I was helping people align their perceptions by helping the eyes create new patterns in the brain through eye exercises and other procedures.  As I saw that, I saw the simplest of exercises, the eye rotations.  When the eyes don't have a smooth rotation, visual cues can be lost and important information supressed.  People can trip or fall, or not remember what they read, or just have a stilted view on life when the eyes don't receive all of the information.  At that moment, I had a knowing that jumps in the eye rotations had meaning for our life experiences.  I quickly jotted down the information as I dashed off to class.

In class we paired up and noted where eye movements may have skipped or been jumpy.  I related to the class what the jumps might relate to based on the vision and the "knowing."  Each person in the group indicated that the assessment was accurate!  If the eye jumped in that spot, they indeed were have trouble with follow through or if it jumped in another spot, they had trouble with willingness.  It was really fun for me to have that powerful validation immediately!  We then went on to do some other processes to assist in moving through those blocks and addressing other blocks.

In another process, a person was given an opportunity to, literally, face their blocks and address them and move through them.  Three people did the process and they moved through the blocks to be in a new state of being.  I have spoken to them since and they indicate the process made a huge difference and that they are different and they are living their lives differently as a result of doing the process.  I honor them for the courage to take advantage of the opportunity.  What is an added bonus is that as these three people faced their blocks, we were all uplifted and moved through many of our own blocks.  Powerful Stuff!!

We still had several other processes I had planned that we didn't get the opportunity to do, so I'm going to do another Transformation Workshop on the 3rd Saturday in February that will be an extension of this first workshop.  How cool is that!  I'll remind you of the date and time as we get nearer the event.  It's a free workshop, sponsored by The Divine Fellowship, so take advantage of the opportunity if you can!

We had our Psychic Awareness class last night.  WOW!  It was really fun and really powerful for us all.

I dug out my tea cups that I had purchased for my mother while she was alive.  We each chose one to use.  I made some coffee - pretty weak - strong coffee is better.  Then in the class, we poured a half a cup of coffee and poured cream into each cup.  Each person poured their own cream.  It was amazing to see how the cream reacted to our intent.  Each person's coffee did something unique and different. 

One person kept getting the number 2.  Another got a word spelled out.  Another got a spiral.  Another got angels.  Another got a whale . . . and on and on.  We could see the images clearly.  My mother come through with an image of a curly willow tree and she spelled out my nickname.  At first we thought it was 'any' but when I was in bed I got that it was "Angie"  (pronounced like angel with a 'y' sound insted of an 'l')  Then later it spelled out Jani (Jan-ey) which is what she called me from about 4 years old until the day she died.  What a blessing to receive that connection!

After playing with reading cream swirls for awhile, we finished up by reading coffee grounds left in the cup.

We poured our coffee out and looked to see what image was left in the grounds.  A couple of people didn't have grounds in the bottom of their cup.  We poured them several cups and still now grounds.  Since it was the bottom of the pot, everyone else had grounds.  They attempted to ground themselves to see if that would help.

For one person, I took the cup and poured the last of the coffee into their saucer.  Then, I said aloud that I was going to read their grounds on behalf of that certain person.  Instantly, grounds became visible at the bottom of the liquid.  It was amazing.  As she stated her intent, the grounds shifted into a formation that we could read.  I did the same thing with another peson who didn't get grounds and sure enough, the grounds settled out instantly!  As we were walking around looking at each other's cups and saucers, I glanced at one cup where the liquid was drying out and saw a huge angel!  It was unmistakable!  Amazing!  Everyone could see it clearly.  The longer it was there and dry, the brighter and stronger the image became. 

Another gentleman got a woman's face.  Another man, got an image of two people walking down a path together.  As I was looking at one other person's cup, a face of someone singing emerged and I got a huge rush of the message that came through for her to sing to her son - soul-to-soul.  He was the number 2 - second child - that she kept getting earlier!  The message was so powerful that everyone in the room felt a bit of a shock wave as the words were spoken.  Half the group was at the other end of the table and one of them said, "I could feel that from here."  Most of us felt teary and emotionally moved by the feeling - it was that strong.  It was the message that her soul really needed to hear.

That Psychic Awareness class is a fun, learning experience and such a huge blessing to us all.

I am finally going to be presenting a workshop on finding our purpose and being in our purpose.  The workshop is entitled "Mission Statements for Transformation" yet there is more experiential stuff in this workshop than just sitting around talking about stuff.

I'm doubly excited because I had a vision just yesterday about a process we are going to do.  So my brain is scrambling around figuring out how to add that activity and what it all means and how to express in reality what I experienced in spiritual form.  It will be interesting and enlightening whether I get it all out or not, so that's really fun for me.

I've had some "Peak Experiences" (wrote about them in the latest Portal Newsletter in this website) that taught me some powerful things about myself and where my life is heading.  I hope to create the opportunity for attendees to have their own "Peak Experiences"  today!

Well, I best get ready and reveiw my notes one more time.  Since it is a free workshop and open to the public, I don't know whether I will be using some advanced techniques and information or if I need to start at square one and go from there.  I have to get there and see what the energy is like when we begin to see where we go and how fast we get there.  Sometimes teaching is a challenge.  It's always worth it.

I honor those who take the time to take a chance and take the opportunity to get what is offered.  I meditate, pray, study, ponder, and practice for months in advance of these workshops and I am so blessed to be able to share the experience with loving souls who willingly receive.  What a blessing!

Gotta scram!

I have lots to share with you!

I apologize for the time between blogs.  January 2nd served up two readings and I've been booked solid since then.  I've got some new classes coming up so I'm working on class preparation as well. 

The next class up is tonight - Tarot Tune-up.  We will create a "medicine wheel" of sorts to look at the new year and the focus of this year as well as action to take and how Spirit will assist us as the year unfolds.  It will be really fun and deep at the same time!  I'm delighted to be able to share that process.

Starting in February, I will be teaching "The Mystic Science of Palmistry".  I'm limiting the class to twelve participants and I only have one slot left!!  How cool is that!  The last time I taught the class was in the year 2000, to it's been ten years since I've presented this class.  I'm delighted that others are willing to learn to read palms.  It is technical and yet has an intuitive interpretation to it as well. 

I've got my ducks in a row to begin sending two books to publishers.  One is learning to read the Tarot and the other has to do with clearing and healing the crystalline forms within the physical and etheric bodies.  It is pretty amazing stuff.  I am very hopeful that a publisher will pick-up both books and will run with them.  Time will tell.  I think everybody and his brother have written a book, so if the ideas are unique and intereting they could really go places.  Kinda fun to get to this point.  I've been working on them a little at a time for years!  Now I just get to prepare a letter and start sending them out to publishers.  That's a task in and of itself!  Whew! 

Last Sunday at The Divine Fellowship was awesome!  The Sunday before gave us a wonderful opportunity to become a united community of energy through our common intent.  This last Sunday, we did drumming.  There were about 50 drums for a crowd of about 80 people.  We have had a bit of trouble in the past staying in beat together, but this Sunday it was incredible!!  The beat was so powerfully moving that Phil and I looked at each other with tears in our eyes.  Darryl, our leader, was really in his power!  It was wonderful to follow that energy.  At one point, he walked us through a beat where each drum could play by itself for four beats.  Each drum was unique and different in tone and pitch and energy.  Then they all played together and it was amazing how the unique drum blended into the whole to become a new powerful sound.  It was just like the Sunday before when we spoke words together and became "as one."  Doesn't get any better than that!  I'm still feeling blessed by just thinking about both experiences.

I have a free workshop coming up on Saturday.  "Mission Statements For Transformation"  I have been waiting for a couple of months for this!  I am pleased to offer some insights so people can find their purpose and put their lives on track for fulfilling their destiny.  I'll let you know how that goes!

I feel that many of us are on the verge of some major breakthrough's in the spiritual realm and in the physical realm as well as our relationships.  We are moving into a season of breakthrough's!  The things that were stuck are breaking loose and we are either moving in a new direction or fulfilling the direction we've been focused upon.  We are either letting go or moving forward.  If we stay stuck, it is because we are not yet ready to let go or to shift our intent to line up with The Divine Plan.  I believe The Divine Plan supports our decisions for ourselves.  We have the right to choose (God's greatest gift to humankind was the gift of choice, why would that be denied us when it comes to our own fulfillment?)  The trick is to get past expectations and judgments and into the power of potential. 

Sometimes I think I know what I want, but what I want isn't what would fulfill me.  I may want to sit by the TV and eat Bon-Bon's but that is a dreary life devoid of real joy.  If I sacrifice what I might "want" and move toward what is right for me, I am much happier and have lots more energy.  During the holiday season, people were busy with other things and my phone didn't ring.  I kinda had a few bad days there.  Yes, I really appreciated the rest and I'm really grateful I had it with my full schedule, but I was empty without being able to fulfill my purpose - my purpose to offer support, appreciation, and guidance.  It was harder to sit around and wait, or stay busy with other things than it is to get up and get to work doing what my heart loves to do.  What a blessing ot wake up each day knowing that, even though life isn't easy, I'm on my path. 

In the past. I've had jobs that paid well enough, but cried every morning on the way to work and every evening on the way home.  That's a difficult way to life.  Thank God I was led to my destiny by being open to change and willingness to try.  I sincerely hope I am able to help others find their path with this upcoming class - Mission Statements For Transformation. 

Stepping Into The New Year byToshio

Happy New Year!  We are still in the Chinese year of the Rat until 2/14/2010 which then becomes the year of the Tiger.  I am a Tiger according to the Chinese calendar.  I wonder what wonders a Tiger in the year of the Tiger will bring?

Mars is retrograde until June of 2010.  Mars is all about moving forward and taking action.  In retrograde, we get to look inward to make changes within.  Mars in retro can make us a bit irritable.  We can feel as if we don't have the energy to take on something new.  Well, I'm certainly feeling that, though I have some new stuff that I'm ready to move forward on.  So, I guess it's a bit of a push-pull.  We will have the energy to really make sure what we are doing is what we desire and then we can move forward.  If we are just doing out of duty or obligation, we may not have much energy to put towards that.

Mercury is also retrograde.  Maybe that's why Phil's phone battery just died out of the blue the other day.  Mercury messes with our electronics and communication.  Mercury goes retrograde a lot, so that's nothing new.  Often when it's retro, we find it difficult to make our position heard or understood.  No wonder congress is where it's at!

I wish you well for this new year.  May you be blessed with roadblocks when you need them and free right turns when possible.  May you truly know love from God and friends and family - if not the others, especially God.  It is the challenges in life that make us the people we are.  Crumbling is not an option!  Though grumbling usually is in the mix.  I hope to do less grumbling in 2010, and express more gratitude - gratitiude to those in my world and gratitude to The Creator. 

May we each find more opportunities to serve and more opportunities to delegate so that others may learn the power of service.  May we seek love and find joy.  May we dream big and work with all our heart to fulfill those dreams.  May we know how much we are an expression of love in all that we do.  May your life be a prayer and your prayers full of life.  And may you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams!
