                             susan's musings 
We have so many interesting, fun and unique talks and events in October. I just wanted to make sure you have the details so you don't miss something that really interests you.
 
This week alone two great authors: 
Lisa Alcaly Klug talks about her hilarious and truthful new book, Hot Mamalah: The Ulitmate Guide for Every Woman of the Tribe. When Lisa came to breathe to talk about her insightful and funny previous book, Cool Jew, she packed the house!  You will thoroughly enjoy meeting her, on Wednesday, October 5 at 7 pm. 
 
On Friday night at 6:30, Vastu Shastra (Indian Feng Shui) expert Michael Mastro returns to breathe. Michael has a keen, clear way of communicating the basics of Vastu, so that you can begin the art and science of creating peace, harmony, boundless energy and more in your home and office. In this free talk, Michael will discuss the directions and their significance and offer tips on how to rearrange your home for optimal Vastu without knocking down walls! Interior designers, Real Estate agents, Yoga studio people and just about anyone interested in how to arrange your space more effectively will love meeting Michael. 
 
Michael is also available to come to your home. Larry and I had Michael to our house earlier this year. It was a fascinating experience. We learned about the power
Sri Yantra
centers in our home, how to remedy areas that were not up to par, set up alters, learned mantras and watched as Michael "repaired" our home by burying Yantras (sort of like a visual mantra) in and around our house. 
 
Michael's fee for a two-hour house visit is $400. Please contact me to arrange this for you. 
 
Please take a look at all of the October events listed below! And if you didn't hear the news, breathe books store cafe will be opening in early 2013! You can read about it here. Details on fund raising are coming soon! You can be part of the plan!
 
And there is still time to sign up for my four-week meditation course at Roland Park Country School. This will be an in-depth exploration of meditation tools and techniques, philosophy and practice. Class beings this Tuesday, Oct. 2, 6:30 pm - 8 pm. See details here. 
 
Please welcome Lynn Lewis to breathe books on Saturday! She will come to us once a month for Past Life Readings. In a private session with Lynn she "reads" one of your past lives and offers advice on healing and moving beyond any constrictions or contracts. I loved my reading with Lynn It was refreshing and positive and informative! 
 
Hope to see you soon. 
 
Love,
 
susan

LewisSaturday, October 6, 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. Heal Your Past Lives with Lynn Lewis

Past lives have so much to offer us in terms of healing. Reincarnation and rebirth give a whole new meaning to the idea of "living in the past!" Working with your past lives can be an effective way to erase karma and create more love and light in this lifetime. Your higher self carries the memory of those past lives and brings them up for healing when you're ready to do your work. Most of us on planet Earth have already lived hundreds, if not thousands, of lifetimes. And don't be surprised if they haven't all been human lives, on this planet, in this dimension, with physical bodies -- one can learn lessons in non-human form too. Readings with healing in mind offer another way to learn your lessons so they don't have to be repeated in this or future lives. If the idea of a past life reading appeals to you, then Spirit may be telling you it's time to erase some karma and live more joyfully in this life!

 

Lynn has been doing past life readings since 2004. Her process involves connecting to your higher self to access the past lives that offer healing. Lynn works with a team of angels who protect the connection and assist in understanding what work needs to be done and how to get it done. The client is invited either to offer issues that need to be worked on or to just allow Spirit to direct the reading. Interactive discussion about how to work with the reading is an integral part of the reading session Cost: $50 for a 45-minute private session

For People: The ancient wisdom of the Tarot empowers us with knowledge and insight as we navigate our spiritual path, prepare for potential changes in our lives, and explore options. Terri offers clients a deep understanding of the cards combined with a unique ability to zero in on the issues at hand.

 

Terri has been reading cards since the early 1980's and communicating with Terri Diener animals since the mid 1990's. She brings to these practices a background in teaching psychology and group dynamics, and counseling individuals and businesses to enhance their communication, problem solving and negotiation skills.
