ABUNDANCE IS MINE
By Norma Mitchell
Thursdays, January 5 & 19, February 2 & 16, 7pm-9pm, $20 each session.
Although money is important as one of our tools to help us create a successful life, true abundance is more than money. It is our well-being with Spirit, self and others. This four week workshop is designed to help you understand and release any restrictions you have concerning your abundance. The first part of each session will be discussion, followed by the use of relaxation techniques to explore old 'programming' -- whether of this life or others -- that has caused a resistance to allowing abundance in one or more area of your life.
Norma Mitchell has been working with clients at the Shining Lotus™ since 2008. She provides Intuitive readings every Monday from 12pm to 5pm and also works from 12pm to 5pm on the second Saturday of every month. |

JANUARY ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE
by Marci McCaffery 
Key phrase: I USE. CAPRICORN
(Dec 21 - Jan 19)
Well it's finally here. The long-anticipated year of 2012, "the end date of the Mayan calendar." It seems that dire predictions about this marker in time have increased exponentially. I'm sure that the media will have lots of fun, sifting through the prophecies and myths of doom and gloom, feeding into the fears of many. However, it's not so much a date, as it is a period of time. The long and short of it is that we have an inte  | | Capricorn by Josephine Wall |
resting convergence of planetary cycles and alignments that have brought us to a point of "extreme vulnerability". As we shift into the next level of consciousness and a new way of being, it's up to us to awaken and make the necessary choices and changes in our lives. (Note the dates for the upcoming
free 2012 presentation on January 15 and February 19th at Shining Lotus.) Read more ...

BASIC TRUTHS OF REINCARNATION
by Bruce Johnson
 | | Emperor Justinian |
553 A. D. was the year the Fifth Ecumenical Council met in Constantinople at the request of the Emperor Justinian. That year Justinian and the Council voted to anathematize or curse the doctrine of the pre-existence of the soul, and by implication, reincarnation. To teach, or believe in reincarnation after that date was to be solemnly cursed by the Christian church, and so its study was undertaken at the risk of one's Soul.
The Laws of Reincarnation control an orderly process of evolving and perfecting the human personality through cyclical rebirth alternately into spiritual and physical worlds. The learning and experiences of the personality or temporary self gained in each incarnation are absorbed and integrated by the Soul or permanent Self during a rest and assimilation period in spirit between physical embodiments.

THE LORDS OF AMENTI
© Sheryl Watson 2011
 | | The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean $15.95 |
Written information on the Lords of Amenti is found in the "Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean" by Doreal. This book explains much about The Halls of Amenti. The Lords are in a "fold" in time - a different time frequency than we are here. These very powerful beings have control of the magnetics of Earth: the ley lines, vortices and places of power.
Do you ever wonder how this world hangs together? Well, the Lords of Amenti are the glue of our existence. They have their hands on the wheel of time and steer our course.
 The Lords now come forward in this time of ascension and crisis. They tell me that they do not come forward unless the times are so crucial that they must act. I have been contacted by them and brought into their realm. A most fantastic experience. I now bring their words to our world.
This picture shows the "fire" they tend that is rejuvenating. Beings come to this "fire" and are rejuvenated and restored. Thank you for attending our talks. You are vitally important to the world - you are the Masters of Light of this time. The Amenti honor you. WE ARE AMENTI. ~Sheryl Watson

The messages from The Lords of Amenti that are brought forth through Sheryl are profound and very loving.

COLOR: PLANT FOOD CONNECTIONS WITH YOUR CHAKRAS
by Shelley Palicki, MNT
 Many nutritionists like to talk about the importance of eating the Rainbow of Colors. Among the many reasons, one is because similar colored plant foods contain phyto-nutrients that are present in food of the same color. All orange colored foods contain carotenoids and all red, blue and deep purple colored fruits and veggies contain phenols. Carotenoids work by eliminating free  radicals within cells and putting them into the fluids outside of the cell. Then the phenols vacuum them up, eventually eliminating them through sweat, urine or feces. This inner-working relationship is important to achieving your optimal heal by ridding the body of toxins.

REIKI AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
with Joy Vernon
 I am extremely lucky to always have brilliant students in my classes. My current Shinpiden (Reiki Level 3) class is no exception and we had a very interesting discussion of the difference between reiju and attunements last night. Reiju means spiritual blessing and is the Japanese basis of the practice that in Western Reiki has developed into the attunement. In Western Reiki, the attunement is considered to open and/or increase the student's ability to connect with and channel the Reiki energy.
Read more ... REIKI AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE: THE THREE DIAMONDS with Joy Vernon. Sunday, January 8, 2pm - 3pm, FREE PRESENTATION. Traditional Japanese Reiki is a method for finding health by connecting with our spiritual nature. The three diamonds are a symbolic way of viewing oneself in relationship to the cosmos--and can be considered stepping stones towards enlightenment. Join me to learn about this fascinating aspect of Japanese cosmology, and learn how you can begin polishing your diamonds! Call 303-758-9113 to register. |

HOT NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2012
NEW COLORADO-MADE BEESWAX CANDLES
New Low Prices on Canadian Beeswax
The bee, it's work ethics and it's pure products have been held sacred throughout time. Beeswax is revered in the hieroglyphs of Egypt, Maya and the sanskrits of the Far East. It is the result of the greatest expression and essence of Mother Nature Herself.
The 100% natural beeswax of these Colorado-made candles will produce negative ions in your environment which can clean the air and replace the harmful toxic substances that are floating with an aromatheric effect which adds calmness to the stresses in your life.
The scientific principle at work here is that negative ions bind with positive ions, creating complete molecules which have a heavier weight mass and a balanced charge. Hence, the positive ions (toxins, dust, odors, pollen, dander, etc.) no longer float, they simply fall to the ground. They are now on the floor, and you are not breathing them anymore.
