Magical Message
Without fail, the angels answer the prayers and calls
of all humanity... and the answer will come, according
to our willingness to accept it.

There is nothing better than being in total alignment
with the Universal force while extending your heart to
guide and heal God's Earth angels...except perhaps
simultaneously sharing this space of unified
consciousness with my
brothers and sisters of the light.
I was blessed to have the opportunity to experience
both as a vendor at The Intuitive Showcase and
Natural Health Expo in mid August. What a powerful
weekend on so many levels!
It was so much fun catching up and being
reaquainted with old friends and students. And of
course it was also incredible to meet and work with
so many wonderful new friends.
This really was a groundbreaking event for our area.
I remember taking a conscious moment during the
weekend activities to really breathe in the energies
and thank Spirit for the experience.
I'd like to remind you to do the same during your
special moments. For, it's not often during the busy-
ness of our lives we are able to stand with open mind
and open heart to witness transformation taking
place.
Wishing you a transformative week.
Joyful blessings,
Jill

Notes To Myself by Stefanie Miller

Enchantment
I had a really good cry a few months ago. I finally
broke down and cried my eyes out over the shattered
illusions of what my life was supposed to turn out to
be like. I was so disappointed at the realization that
what I had longed and hoped for would never happen.
I was proud of myself for finally feeling it. With the
release of it I was able to acknowledge that while my
life didn't live up to the expectation of what I thought I
wanted, what I have is pretty good. Yes, I have
unfulfilled areas in my life but I'm happy with what I
have.
Since I was young I had the perception of the type of
life I needed to be fulfilled. I saw others that had the
life I wanted but it seemed unattainable to me. I took
different paths, I made different decisions. This is
where I wound up. Still, I idolized this fantasy. I would
get depressed and disappointed at my lost hopes
and dreams. I became angry at God and the Universe
for letting me down. I thought I did something wrong.
With the release of the illusion I was able to see what
I have and figure out what I REALLY wanted, apart
from what I thought I wanted or what it was
SUPPOSED to be like. I discovered that the illusion
was quite different from what I really want and need to
be happy. I feel relieved. I feel light and free. I'm not
going to lie; it took some time to mourn the loss of my
dreams (my illusions or enchantments). To realize
that what I had dreamed of having, I no longer really
wanted. I had to let go of what I didn't and couldn't
have.
Enchantment gets all of us at times. It's the ego self
asserting it's will, convincing us we need a certain
amount of money, the right type of job, the perfect
romantic partner, a home in the right neighborhood,
fixed up a certain way, and the right square footage!
We trap ourselves in the illusion that happiness and
fulfillment will happen when the conditions are right.
We fall in the trap of not loving and accepting
ourselves because we fall short in our efforts. We are
not thin enough, in good enough shape, have the right
image, looks or attitude. We can be brutal to
ourselves. Can we shatter the illusions? Can we let
go of the enchantment of some type of perfection?
I have to admit after that good cry that day things have
been unraveling. I am looking at all aspects of my life
and all the areas where the shadow side creeps in
and whispers, things should look this way, things
should be this way, you should have this, or be that. I
am confronting my fears and my illusions one by one.
With this I can find enchantment in authentic
expectations aligned with my heart, and soul. I'm
doing true soul searching and when I find myself
caught in an illusion I talk my ego and inner child
through it.
I can say today, I am happy and fulfilled. I am content
and proud of myself.....of what I achieved and who I
am. I surrender the past and release my expectations
of the future and I come into the present moment.
It is in the now moment of the present that we can see
what we want and need NOW. Not what the ego
thinks it needs or what we thought we wanted.
Prayer
Angels, I've felt let down by you. I thought perhaps you
weren't hearing my prayers. I've felt disillusioned and
disappointed I held the enchantment of what I thought
I wanted or needed in my life in order to be whole.
I surrender and release my expectations. I let go. I
have mourned my losses and I am ready to move on.
I trust that your sacred presence is within and around
me. I allow the grand plan for my life to unfold.
I shatter my illusions. I allow the old to fall away. I step
into this present moment. Whole. Full. and Sovereign.
I don't know what the future holds. I don't even truly
know what I want it to be.
I know with the presence of God/Goddess that the
enchantment of what can BE is far greater and
grander than anything I could have wished or hoped
for. I simply need to allow, to release, to relax. I am
grateful.
And so it is.
Amen.

REIKI I
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Kee) is an ancient healing art
that was rediscovered and revived by a Japanese
doctor in the middle of the 19th century. Reiki healing
has been known in the west for only a few decades;
however, it is practiced now by millions of people from
all walks of life, in a variety of traditional and non-
traditional settings. Reiki is not a belief system or
religion. Reiki is a hands-on method of natural
healing that utilizes "universal life energy" and has
been proven to relax and relieve stress, boost the
immune system, accelerate healing by treating at the
causal level, and is complementary to all other forms
of healthcare.
Behind the clinical results and observations, lie many
beautiful mysteries. In this course, you will learn the
traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage of Reiki to treat
yourself and others. Experience simple meditations
in order to prepare for the attunement (transfer of
energy) ceremony. Upon receiving this transfer, the
student opens to become a facilitator for channeling
Reiki healing energy and initiates a 21-day cleansing
cycle of their seven major chakras (energy centers).
Hand positions are introduced, as well as the chakra
system, Reiki Principles, aura clearing, closing, and
ethics. Plenty of practice time is included as we
discuss Reiki's many applications in daily life. A
detailed manual and certificate is included.
