First encounters with spirit are often scary and completely unexpected. Ghosts and other discarnate entities will respond to our fear - some deliberately want to scare us so we’ll move away from what they believe is their territory, others are simply stuck and will appreciate your assistance in crossing over.  What is important to understand in any connections with spirit is that you’re the one with the body - which means you have control over the encounter - once you get past your fear. 

A spontaneous contact with spirit opens the door to future contacts - and is a good reason to learn about spirit communications, so you know how to react fearlessly when you meet up with a real ghost. To manage these contacts safely, we must learn to prepare - and protect - ourselves. Otherwise, we are liable to freak out, as our visitor Kae has in her note here: (more…)


Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction?

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

By PMH Atwater

Today’s children have been variously described of late as Indigos (because of the supposed color of their auras), Star Kids (because of their purported origination from other worlds), Crystals (because some say they are highly developed), and so forth. None of these claims hold up to the degree that they are made when subjected to objective research, whether via scientific observation or by the study of mystical/esoteric traditions or through a summary of visionary revelations.

It’s a Scam, Don’t Go Back!

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Trust your instincts - especially when a reading makes you feel uncomfortable! You should leave a session with a psychic feeling empowered, not frightened. When a psychic tells you to keep a reading secret, it is because s/he is trying to protect themselves, not you…. Leave, and don’t even think about going back. (more…)


Deepak Goes Deep: “Obama and the Palin Effect”

Monday, September 15th, 2008
“The Republicans’ success is based on their ability to activate not just the base, but the basest of the base.”
                         – Swami Beyondananda
Every now and then, I find a piece of writing that is so incisive and pertinent to the moment that I am moved to quote it in its entirety. A few days ago, I saw this article by Deepak Chopra that brilliantly expresses the political choices we face now, and explains why Sarah Palin has been so successful thus far in “activating the base.”

Here is his article called “Obama and the Palin Effect:”

Tap into your Higher Intelligence

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

By Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler

When we think of intelligence, IQ immediately comes to mind. But IQ may in fact be the most limited aspect of our human intelligence.

Early in the 20th century, the concept of IQ came roaring to the forefront of psychology and education. IQ tests quickly became a popular means of measuring human intelligence.

IQ scores were used to sort people into “levels” of estimated intelligence. The theory was: The higher a person’s IQ, the brighter they were.

The Discovery of EQ
Then in the 1990’s science writer Daniel Goldman wrote a book summarizing years of neuroscience research. The research included in his book - “Emotional Intelligence” - packed a tremendous impact. His book raised emotional intelligence (EQ) to an equal standing with IQ. (more…)


Feeling Some Impending Disaster in the Air?

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Have you been feeling anxious for no explainable reason? Feel like something big is coming at us? Are you having some unusual dreams or visions? You are not alone. I received this note earlier this week and thought it was worth passing on.  (more…)


Past Lives Bleed Through

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008
There’s a very good reason why we offer Past life readings, as well as Pre-Birth Planning and Akashic Records Readings. Out souls are shaped and marked by the roles we have played, the actions we have taken, and the relationships we developed in previous lifetimes. We have accumulated knowledge, insight, and hopefully wisdom in our travels through time…. this knowledge serves us - and sometimes haunts us - in present time.  For good reason. When past lives bleed through, there’s unfinished business to be dealt with in present time.

The Power of Prayer

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Prayer can be a powerful - and mysterious - force in our lives. It need not be formal and it requires no special time or place. Although praying in a sacred place, like a church, at a home altar, or in a special place in your garden, can add weight and power to your prayers, you can pray any time, anywhere… I will often choose to say a quiet prayer as a way of distracting myself from some negative thought or worry or fear - and offer the prayer for all those who share the same anxieties… and I will reach out with - and for - prayer requests to any groups who gather in prayer. Heartfelt prayers can save lives, as this visitor tells us: (more…)
