Oracle is a new Feature to our Newsletter - The Oracle is here
to help you with guidance or questions about life or love that
you may have. |
The
holiday season is upon us! This time of the year is thought
to be a time of joy, merriment, friends and loved ones and
taking the time to do the things that are most important
to us like getting gifts for the ones we love or making the
time to see or communicate with those in our lives.
Unfortunately, because it is also a time of year when our dreams
for a better New Year and our expectations of gifts and smooth
relations with others are foremost on our minds and in our
energy, it becomes a time of the year when our problems seem
to be amplified.
In this issue The Oracle focuses on letters about losing ourselves:
one of the most difficult Universal Laws to live is that we
must be able to see what IS in order to change or improve our
lives. Any time we cannot see what IS clearly we lose ourselves.
Similar to being filled with hopes and expectations that may
be unrealistic about the holiday season and which may let us
down and leave us frustrated, when we are filled with hopes
and expectations about others or about life – at which
point we are not with what IS- we are often left feeling empty,
frustrated or alone. In order to change this within ourselves
in a positive way, we must be able to see what is truly going
on in our lives if we hope to work with life and Spirit to
make the changes in the directions we are being guided in.
QUESTION:
Dear Oracle,
People
said that love is blind. Is it really true considering the
evil in the world today. - Kayce
ANSWER:
Dear Kayce
and Oracle readers,
We all know
that the "evil" in the world lacks love. Love
is an energetic essence, the fabric of creation. As the
fabric of creation, love can be called the Universe, Spirit
or God and, as All that Is. As All that Is, Love cannot
be blind.
People, on the other hand, are easily blinded and they easily
fool themselves or allow themselves to be fooled. When we hold
expectations of happiness or love from another to make us feel
complete, we are blinding ourselves to Who and What we are
truly completed by, which is our Higher Selves, or our Soul.
Under the veil of the misperception of what completes us, we
mislead ourselves and misunderstand love, people and life.
When we are under any veil of misperception our lives become
complicated, painful and greatly challenging- feelings which
are expressed in the following letters to The Oracle.
May your
life be full of love and light,
The Oracle
QUESTION:
Dear Oracle,
For a couple
of months now, I've been continuously sick and depressed,
everything seems to give me a reason to feel sad or upset,
I find myself always at the edge of either crying or shouting,
and I don't like it. I have some kind of allergy that is
manifesting as a flu and as an irritation of my left eye,
nothing seems to work, and in my job besides been working
like this I feel overwhelmed with work loads and very unappreciated,
please help me to see where is the exit to this situation,
and thank you.
Paola
ANSWER:
Dear Paola,
You, as many
others, are simply overwhelmed with life. Undoubtedly you
can identify with feeling like you are caught in a never-ending
cycle in which your problems repeat themselves but never
seem to get any better.
You are trapped by a veil of misperception in which you misperceive
that there is an "exit" or a way out of your problems.
However, your Soul has brought these challenges to you for
a reason. Instead of taking on the challenges to improve your
ability to handle conflict, pain, and problems, you are trying
very hard not to see what IS in your life, evidenced by the
irritation in your left eye.
Until you choose to see the challenges as the gift from your
Soul to you to give you opportunities to grow and fulfill part
of your purpose in life - your purpose being the growth- you
will never be able to break the cycle, as growth and taking
on your day is the only "exit" our Soul makes available
to us.
May
your life be full of love and light,
The Oracle
QUESTION:
Dear Oracle,
I have been married to my husband for five years, we were together
ten years previous. My problem is, that my husband goes through
these phases that he doesn't talk to me if he doesn't get his
way or if he doesn't like what I have to say. One example
is that my niece is in a Christmas show in Dec. & I had
wanted to go to it. My husband carried on that the
night of the show was the same night as a Christmas party of
an important business client of his. I was disappointed
but decided that I should go to this affair. We also
got an invitation to a friends Christmas party the same night. Last
night my husband told me to call the friend & tell them
we will be at their party. I reminded him about his clients
party & he asked me which of the two was more important. I
said that my niece's Christmas show. He didn't like my
reply & hasn't spoken to me since. I missed my niece's
show last year because of the same peoples Christmas party. That
is just one example of many. He also makes me feel uncomfortable
when my oldest Daughter calls me, just to talk. If he answers
the phone, he is very rude to her. I am always good to
all of his children. My children are all grown & so is
his. I am very close to all of my children and they are
all close. With my husbands family their is always someone
not talking to someone & they are always fighting amongst
themselves. I just don't get it. Can you please help
me to understand what his problem is. I know that I am
not perfect, but I was brought up in a Loving family and can't
understand what the problem is. Thank You & Blessings!
Valerie
ANSWER:
Dear Valerie,
You have
written asking for help to understand what your husband's
problem is and this is causing your veil of misperception.
You are the one with the problem, as you are the one experiencing
difficulty, not him.
Valerie, you are greatly manipulated by your husband. It would
be very beneficial to you to ask yourself why it is you perpetuate
this manipulation. That IS the real problem you need to work
with. Your husband may not be a perfect man, but only you and
you alone can stop allowing this behavior into your life. You
have fear about doing what you feel you need to do, such as
going to your niece's Christmas show. We are all responsible
for our own lives and as long as you allow yourself to be stopped
from doing things that are important to you, such as attending
the Christmas show even if you have to go alone, then you will
only have yourself to blame. You have chosen to appease your
husband and allow him to manipulate you at the cost of creating
hardship in yourself.
The key here, which will be repeated because it is so important,
is that your veil is in not recognizing that you are the one
with the problem, as you are betraying yourself when you allow
him to manipulate you. You are not doing what you need to do
for yourself, and anytime we are not true to our own legitimate
needs we are under a veil that blinds us to ourselves and our
lives.
May your life be full
of love and light,
The Oracle
QUESTION:
Dear Oracle,
Am I wrong to
be feeling the way I do about my relationship? Or am I just
being selfish? Am I not deserving of emotional and physical
love from my partner?
ANSWER:
Dear Blueone,
You say that you are not receiving the emotional and physical
love that you feel you deserve in your relationship. Intimacy
and love are a natural need and desire for every human and
in every relationship.
You are overlooking the cause of the problems in your relationship
and are focusing on the effect, veiling yourself to the true
problem. The place you will need to focus on if you choose
to improve any aspect of your relationship is not on the intimacy,
but on the problems that exist between you, in particular the
problems that are causing distance and creating circumstances
in which intimacy is not safe or comfortable.
May your
life be full of love and light,
The Oracle

Abundance
In All Things!
Abundance
is an essence that exists in infinite supply in
the universe. Abundance can take on various forms
such as an abundance of love, money, happiness,
joy, success, and so on. Generally, we know what
abundance is, but bringing abundance into our daily
life alludes many of us. |
|
Manifesting
Abundance uses the two spiritual laws, "as
above so below," and "as within so without." Many
have heard of these laws but are not certain
how to put these laws into effect. To put the
law into motion you must first be able to access
spiritual essences that exist in unlimited supply
on the levels beyond physicality. Then you must
align the structured self to this essence, bringing
the essence fully into your inner world. When
your inner world is completely aligned to the
essence, in this case abundance, it must manifest
in your outer world. It is the law.

your life, please go to: http://laws-of-abundance.com/
Testimonial: "I
really enjoyed it. What I noticed about myself
is that I would grasp at making an altar for my
bills, and come to appreciate them and look at
them as symbolic, but also I repel actually
taking the time to work with self and energy first. " -T.B.

Seek
Your Soul Outside Too

This
issue’s article is taken from Kalyn’s new book,
Seek Your Soul, which is a guided year-long recorder leading
us to connect with our Souls in simple, effective and enjoyable
ways. The week’s theme that follows was selected
for the holiday season when we all spend time with our
family and friends, providing us extra opportunities to
seek our Souls outside ourselves. |
|
 Seek
Your Soul Outside Too
Today
your Soul will give you a sign that it is present, watching
over you. All you need to do is ask your Soul to present
itself in your day, trust that your Soul will be there
and trust yourself to recognize the sign.
Your Soul will present itself in a person today, when another person
asks you for something, complains to you or just stands out in your day. Watch
for something getting your attention (generally it is easier to get our attention
in negative ways as these stand out more to us).
A message from your Soul will present itself. Your Soul will use
this opportunity to communicate a need you have, whether it is a need to extend
in your life, a need to learn to be interdependent with people or whatever might
get your attention.
Use this communication from your Soul to improve yourself. If you
choose to be open to the communication from your Soul and to follow the guidance
given, you will find more fulfillment and joy in yourself. You will also find
yourself another step closer to your Soul.
Journaling-
Reflect on your day every day this week. Use the following questions
to prompt your seeking and journal about the presence of your Soul in your day
in the following pages:
Did something stand out in your day? Was your Soul present, trying
to get your attention and connect with you today? How did your Soul get your
attention and what do you guess your Soul is trying to communicate to you?
Love & Light,
Kalyn

For
some years my office received letters from
Spanish-speaking readers all over the world
asking for my text “Closing Cycles”.
And for some years my office sent a copy of
the column that I published here with the title “The
Cycle of Happiness”.
Opening my mail one morning, I read that they were
asking for the text “The Stages of Paulo Coelho”. Since I had never
written anything like that, I searched on the Internet only to discover that
this was a different title for “Closing Cycles”. I also discovered
that for many years we had sent the readers the wrong column – in fact,
what they wanted is the text below.
It was not I who wrote the original (unfortunately)
but I decided to adapt it, and now at least I can claim part authorship:
One
always has to know when a stage comes to
an end.
If we insist on staying longer than the necessary
time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go
through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name
we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have
finished.
Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship
come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad?
Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden?
You can spend a long time wondering why this has
happened. You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find
out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have
turned into dust, just like that.
But such an attitude will be awfully stressing
for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your
children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new
leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.
None of us can be in the present and the past at
the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us.
What has passed will not return: we cannot for ever be children, late adolescents,
sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night
relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention
of coming back.
Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them
really go away.
That is why it is so important (however painful
it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages,
sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is
a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and
getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories
to take their place.
Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from
them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes
we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated,
your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop turning on your
emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that
shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you,
nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love
relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting
date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.” Before
a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what
has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could
live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit
is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is
very important.
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity
or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door,
change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.
Stop being who you were, and change into who you
are.

 Earlier
this month I took Halle and Jessica on a semi-guided
intensive to Spain. The semi-intensive was
meant to be a small group and came together
three weeks beforehand. It was a “semi-intensive” because
the intent was to bring awareness to self through
our morning and evening rituals and then to
live this during the day as we got to know
Spain as tourists. We were on vacation from
this perspective, but we all know that Spirit
will bring us opportunities for growth no matter
where we are or what we are doing.
This was a life-altering semi intensive. We ended in the
city of Avila where the cathedral was not being used as a cathedral but was hosting
a visiting museum exhibition called “Testigos” or witnesses. The
exhibit’s highlight was the story and work of Pedro de Berruguete, who’s
story counted that while working on paintings in the cathedral of Avila he saw
Jesus’ face after feeling that he did not know what it looked like and
could not paint a main piece for the cathedral. Pedro de Berruguete had a deep
spiritual experience when his seeking of Jesus’ face opened his awareness
to Jesus, Mary, Mary Magdalene and their intents and actions at the time of the
crucifixion.
In other words, Pedro de Berruguete had an experience, which
shifted his perception and brought him a direct spiritual experience. Halle and
Jessica had the same experience on our semi-intensive although it does not appear
that dramatic.
We began our journey in Madrid…
I had planned a loose itinerary for our two-week journey. Initially
I had wanted to include Avila, my father’s last name, so that I could experience
family roots but later excluded Avila when choosing the trip’s itinerary.
As is always the case on these journeys/intensives, Spirit
had something else in store for us from the start changing my itinerary from
the first day. Our trip began in Madrid, which we weren’t wild about. We
all agreed that we’d prefer to get out of the city right away, so we looked
at our eurail map and train schedules to try to figure out how to start the leg
to Santiago de Compostela, a European pilgrimage that thousands of people take
yearly. Oddly enough, the three of us were all surprised when we each looked
at the map and saw no train routes to Santiago and Santiago was not a scheduled
town in the train timetable book.
Understanding immediately that Spirit had something else in
store for us, I tuned in and my guidance pointed us south. We looked at the train
route map again, read the descriptions for Cordoba, Seville and Toledo and unanimously
chose Cordoba. So, we hopped on the bullet train and headed south.
Cordoba was wonderful. We went with no expectations, as it
had not been a city I had previously thought to consider. Cordoba was wonderful
and visiting its famous mosque was an experience beyond anything we could have
imagined. The mosque is famous for being the only Moorish mosque left in Spain
that survived the Spanish Inquisition. Having been remodeled around the 12th
century, the mosque was given a traditional cathedral with a raised ceiling,
a chorus room and a traditional altar for mass. Although the mosque preserved
a much greater amount of “mosque” area, the church in the middle
of the mosque qualified it’s preservation during the Inquisition and makes
it unique for holding two temples in one edifice.
Walking into the mosque and through the many columns around
the inner church began our energy-sensing awareness for the intensive. I asked
the ladies to pay particular attention to the energy of the mosque versus the
energy of the inner church. While both these energies were high vibrating energies,
they were also very distinct even though they are the same edifice. The peace,
tranquility, love and sensation of All in the mosque was an amazing beginning
to our many journeys.
We left Cordoba and headed all the way south to Cadiz to visit
Kris’ sister for a couple of days. We looked at our Eurail map again to
begin to plan our next leg and, to our great surprise, Santiago de Compostela
now appeared on our map! Although Portugal was much closer, being just east of
us, no trains or boats went there. Heading to Portugal looked like it would take
as much time and trouble as Santiago, one of the furthest northern cities, so
we boarded our longest train ride and took an overnight train north. During the
train ride a woman overheard us beginning to discuss what direction we would
head in after Santiago and she interjected, telling us that we had to see Avila,
Salamanca and several other cities, none of which stood out to me the way Avila
did. I now knew that Avila had been meant to stay on our itinerary.
The cathedral in Santiago was huge, ornate and tall. As we
had in Cordoba, we held a couple of our morning rituals at the cathedral, taking
advantage of a quiet place with great energy to meditate in. The cathedral also
provided several energy sensing opportunities within itself. This cathedral,
like several other cathedrals and spaces we would see on the trip, had several
energy veils. The veils were places where the energetic essence shifted as boundaries
were crossed. The cathedral held a set of veils in a wing of the church which
particularly caught our attention: the wing was divided into three areas, two
outer sections which held the confessionals and the middle aisle of pews. Towards
the middle of the church and past a section of confessionals was a side room
for prayer. Each of these four areas held a different energetic sensation. The
first set of confessional’s energy was that of guilt or wrong-doing; the
pews held a strong confining energy that made one feel frozen in place; the next
confessionals held a great sense of relief and release and the prayer room was
loving and peaceful. Other areas of the cathedral held other sensations too,
but we spent some time bringing awareness to the veils and the shifting of energy
that we sensed as we walked through these four areas that we could walk through
in just twenty steps. It was also about this time when I began to hone in on
awareness work with the ladies, bringing some stronger life issues and patterns
to the forefront for them to work with.
On our way to Avila we stopped in Zamora for three nights,
staying at the castle where Ferdinand and Isabella first met. A first for the
three of us, we all relished in the space and comfort of the castle. One night
during our nightly ritual, Halle shared the energetic awareness and feelings
she was experiencing in the castle, which were feeling supported and feeling
strong in the castle. One of her life issues is wanting to be rescued by a night
in shinning amour, and there was a knight on a horse at this castle. I had previously
brought to her awareness that it is only when she is traveling and living what
she feels like are exotic experiences that she takes charge of her life and calls
the shots. At home she takes a passive role, letting life bring to her what it
may, at which point life passes her by. When traveling, her active role had been
to support herself, which life then reflected back by bringing her a supportive
castle, another unplanned stop which had not been on our initial itinerary, but
one Spirit clearly had brought us. These were wonderful experiences for Halle
and brought her great awareness, as her life had been beginning to spiral downwards
in desperate need for her attention and actions.
The pinnacle of Halle’s spiritual experience was really
still to come in Avila, where several things took a final “click” into
place for her. Although she had now experienced the beneficial impact of being
active in her own life, she still felt some confusion, as she had recently been
trying to take actions towards getting a job and so on. It was in Avila that
Halle found some power when she was finally able to energetically sense how different
things could be for her when her energy was engaged in her actions and connections
with people. Here she experienced being more open with herself and Jessica when
Halle was able to truly communicate and express herself with Jessica over a misunderstanding.
In the past her energy would close off or become more than she could contain,
but do to her metaphoric seeing of Jesus’ face, Halle now knew how her
energy was and how to manage it so that she could direct it into appropriate
actions in directions that were beneficial to her.
Jessica was experiencing something totally different than Halle,
although her life was also asking her to step up to the plate and make some much
needed changes. Having recently suffered a break-up and heartache, Jessica was
now being faced with some cold, hard truths about her life, not as she wanted
it to be or liked to pretend it was, but as it really is.
Plagued with an image of herself that came from foreign ideas
of what her life should be like, Jessica had no true sense of her authentic personality.
Throughout the semi-intensive with my guidance Jessica experienced a fair amount
of awareness about herself, her habits, and her patterns that keep her outside
of the authentic personality. One such experience was seeing that she pretended
to be open to anything we did and any place we went on the semi-intensive, but
the truth was that she looked to Halle and I for everything regarding the traveling,
feeling unable to handle getting around in a foreign place herself. Upon seeing
this, at Zamora she took a map into her own hands and went off by herself in
the morning to walk down the road to a landmark bridge at the river. Enjoying
time alone was a new experience for her and one that she really took advantage
of on this occasion by getting herself there, meditating by the river and liking
being alone. This gave birth to her discovering a few authentic characteristics
about herself, which had been enabled by having seen so many false characteristics
during the first three-quarters of the trip.
In Avila we visited the cathedral and a couple of churches.
We held our morning ritual early the first evening in Saint Vincent’s church.
Halle’s eye caught a sign pointing downstairs to a crypt in the basement.
We went down the stone steps and then, a few steps later, stepped into a room
with a wooden floor where the crypt was. Throughout our church visits, Jessica
often sensed deceased people of the church downstairs chanting, praying and such
which she referred to as having parties downstairs. This energy, however, was
a different story that we all picked up on. As we walked past the crypt room
and into a third room with a stone floor, I looked at Jessica, who was becoming
pale and unhappy, and I said that there was no party here. No, not at all, she
responded. We turned back to the middle wooden-floored room and stood in there
for a minute before Jessica let us know that she had to go back upstairs, panic
setting in.
Halle and I followed, though Jessica had left us far behind
having run as fast as she could. Stepping off the wooden floor and on to the
stone floor held a sensation similar to that of being raised on an elevator – although
the floor was level between the wooden floor and the stone floor, we both sensed
a huge lift upon stepping off the wooden floor and the sensation of being pulled
down decreased greatly. Going up the stairs and leaving this energetic vortex
behind was significant and quite notable. Upstairs Jessica was crying and in
a panic attack, so I grabbed her jacket sleeve and pulled her away from the stairs
and towards a stone column and had her touch the column and allow it’s
energy to come in to her, grounding her back down and shifting the energy she
had picked up.
Later on our way to dinner we spoke about the experience – they
both asked me what that energy had been and why it was like that. I responded
that I did not know, but that it was like a negative energetic vortex. Jessica
shared that she had become nauseous in the basement and felt terribly pulled
upon to the point of fearing that she would be pulled down and never be able
to come back out again. As a part of our evening ritual, we talked about the
fact that she is sensitive to energy and has attracted low vibrating energies
into her life several times. This was a patterned behavior for her. At first
it was difficult for her to see this, but by the end of the semi-intensive Jessica
could get a sense of pulling these energies into herself and had some guesses
as to why she does this. Why she does this will be a journey of self-discovery
that only she can take, but our experiences opened the door wide open for her
to begin the discovery process.
Jessica made many discoveries about her false self, seeing
this far more clearly than before, as well as making some deeper discoveries
about other deeper issues within herself. In addition to seeing that she attracts
non-physical energies into her life (like at the church) she also experienced
a few discoveries about her authentic personality, like finding a new love of
travel. For Jessica the face of Jesus came in meeting her authentic personality
for the first time.
We arrived in Avila at six am, but even then I was excited
to see the origin of some of my ancestors with the Avila family name: I felt
like this was going to be a great experience for me. The cathedral was the highlight,
even though I was disappointed at first that the museum’s temporary exhibit
occupied the cathedral. Its presence in the cathedral held temporary walls and
a few temporary roofs that blocked our view and experience of the cathedral itself.
The exhibit also imposed its energy upon the cathedral’s, but we were able
to sit in the church’s chancel (the main altar) and sense the cathedral’s
energy. This cathedral was the most magical we’d seen and it held a majestic,
loving and expansive energy. What we could see of the cathedral walls was amazing,
including its burgundy-marbled stone columns. By far, this was the highlight
of my trip to Spain.
Walking through the cathedral and exhibition for a second time
on our last day before traveling home I realized the fortuitous timing of our
trip. As we passed another energetic veil walking out of the main basilica of
the church, the museum’s exhibition took us onto wings of the cathedral
that would have otherwise been closed off to the public. This was now a unique
experience, one that we would have missed if the semi-intensive had been planned
any later. Spirit’s urgency in planning our trip only three weeks ahead
of time now made sense. Experiencing the energetic shifts between these private
rooms, room that only the clergy generally had access to, was magnificent as
we saw new rooms, different views of the cathedral and its inner court yard and
sensed energies in these rooms that we normally could not.
It took me a little while to catch Spirit’s message,
but I now clearly received the message being sent about the theme of our trip,
seeing the face of Jesus. The timing for Halle and Jessica relative to their
lives will change their lives; the timing for the exhibition that would leave
the church in December meant we had to go in November; and the importance of
ending our trip in Avila, for which our initial itinerary had to drastically
change, was all crystal clear to me now.
As always, we experienced several miracles on our journey:
seeing and sensing the energies in so many churches and spaces in Spain; being
guided by a changing eurail map; and the various miracles of self-discovery in
which we each saw the face of the Christ within.
Love and Light,

Feng
Shui Holiday Abundance
Tip:
In
Feng
Shui
we
work
with
energy,
shifting
and
changing
it
to
enhance
its
effect
on
us
and
our
lives.
This
is
primarily
done
using
universal
laws
of
energy.
However,
you don't have to be an expert to work with energy and to
attract abundance into your life!
 Try
this simple tip: Celebrate
this season by opening the gift of abundance that
is present for all!
The
holiday season is a time in which we focus on giving and spending
time with the ones we love. This is a warm and wonderful time
of the year, and one that can work towards abundance for us!
Buying gifts for people can be hard on our wallets this time
of year, but one reason this would be is because we are not
spending in the energy of abundance. Just think, if we were
abundant, would we worry about how much is being spent this
season? Of course not!
In order to spend within reason and to continue to invite abundance
into our lives, we need to spend wisely! This year create a
gift budget for yourself to guide your spending. As you purchase
gifts be sure to remember why you are choosing to give. Instead
of making your purchases in the energy of worry (about the
money you are spending), think of what you love about the gift
recipient and purchase their gift with the energy of the love
you hold for them. Now your purchase is made in the energy
of abundance since you are focusing on the giving.
Further enjoy abundance in your holiday season as you meet
with family and friends,
enjoying the abundance of love, merriment and joy in your life.
Do
you wish to enjoy a life of abundance? Sure, it sounds
great, and you think that it is too good to be true! It
is not too good- it takes work on your part!
If you are willing to open to life,
to change some behaviors and to learn how to attract abundance into your
life, then try the Manifesting Abundance Series! The series was created for students
who wanted to experience more abundance in their lives, and they are! The Manifesting
Abundance Series includes a CD processes to help you bring the energy of abundance
in, and an Abundance Workbook, an 8 week workbook with daily exercises and behaviors
to help you know what abundance really is.
You
won't know abundance until you breathe it, feel it and
think it-
and the quickest way to learn these is through the Abundance
Series!
