 Greetings!
If you will remember, back in May of 2012, we welcomed Radleigh Valentine to our store with a new tarot deck (The Angel Tarot) that he created with Doreen Virtue. He brought Doreen along with him for his event and we all experienced a lovely evening of blessings from Doreen and Radleigh. Now, Doreen has teamed up with her daughter-in-law, Melissa Virtue, to bring us another exciting oracle deck of cards. The Angel Dreams Oracle Deck is the result of their efforts, and it is a beauty. Melissa has been well-known for working with dreams and dream interpretation as well as working with the angels. She and Doreen have brought these two things together in this card deck to help inspire us to achieve and surpass all our dreams.
We are very happy to welcome Melissa Virtue on Saturday, Feb 9 at 2pm for a discussion about her new Angel Dreams Oracle Cards. You may buy a copy of the new deck and have Melissa sign it for you. Don't miss this!!

AN OCCULT LOOK AT SLEEP
by Bruce Johnson
 | | Shhhh. Astral Travel in Progress |
We feel refreshed after sleep for two reasons. The first and primary reason is that we draw in needed pranic vitality while sleeping. The second is that the physical body rests and rebuilds itself during sleep. While we are awake, our thoughts, emotions, and actions all utilize and drain physical energy. We replenish this energy during sleep when we leave our dense physical body resting on the bed, and move around in our astral bodies. Psychical Research would describe this process as unconscious and unwilled astral projection.
Individuals are conscious to different degrees in this astral body, which is always connected to the physical body with a magnetic thread of energy, sometimes called the silver cord. When the astral body is outside the confines of the physical body, it is able to accumulate large amounts of astral prana, which it directs to the etheric body.

FEBRUARY ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE
by Marci McCaffery
AQUARIUS (January 21-February 19)
As the New Year progresses into the month of February we can readily feel the powerful physical, spiritual, mental and emotional transformations taking place. We are encouraged to seek new ways to infuse more vitality and creativity into our authentic self-expression. We are called to open our minds and hearts to a higher truth of who we are.
The Universal number for 2013 is 6: 2+0+1+3=6. In numerology, six is the number of relationships, responsibility, emotional security, service and concern for our fellow man. In astrology, the number six is synonymous with Venus, indicating our ability to attract, our creativity, our values, our relationships and our finances. It is likely that this year will accentuate all of these areas of our lives, with major emphasis on financial and emotional needs.
 | | Aquarius by Josephine Wall |
This month's cosmic view includes a planetary shift, as the Sun leaves ambitious Capricorn and enters progressive Aquarius. Our scope is broadened from self-interest to cooperation with others. The New Moon at 21 degrees Aquarius 43, on February 10th offers breakthrough perspectives in our communications with others and in our lives in general. February 10th also marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year. According to the Chinese zodiac, 2013 is The Year of the Female Water Snake. This reaffirms our path for re-birth, new beginnings, and transformation. Delusion and deception are common during the year of the snake well. Nothing is as it seems, giving way to mystery and elements of surprise.

FINDING SPIRIT IN THE NEW YEAR
by Denise Montoya
 You are all perfect just the way you are. Your New Year resolutions, rather than focusing on imperfections, should affirm your wholeness. If you participate in the New Year resolutions let them be for your benefit of mind and body. Living in the fullness of your life is the joy, and that is coming to the awareness of being whole. I like to think of New Years as a time to reflect and release, keeping what is good close to the heart, allowing you to keep a strong focus which gives you the strength to continue. As you live a life which is constantly changing and is full of challenges, self acceptance going deep within your heart, and being with the hearth of your heart can fulfill you.

INNER GUIDANCE VS. FALSE GUIDES with Mario C. Veo.
Tuesday, February 5, 2013. 7 - 8:30pm. $20.
In this New Age of Light and Enlightenment we often fall prey to unscrupulous Beings - both Human and Disembodied - who wish nothing more than to bind us. At first they may appear very Charismatic... full of Power and Glamour...it is here that we fail to discern a True Master from a self-serving Egoist. The proof is simple - do they practice separation, segregation and condemnation...or Oneness and the Brotherhood of Man? Ultimately ask yourself: "as we are made in God's image, and our Souls reside within us...why then do we need 'another' to guide our way? Why not simply go within and connect with our Higher Self?" Call 303-758-9113 to register.

"don't rock the boat...what will your family think...why do you have to be so different...why can't you be like everyone else...?" As long as you remain a good little child, you may be allowed a small place at the table...but at what price? Give up your playfulness, forget who you really are, and lower your expectation...and never, ever speak of your Gifts and Abilities? Self-sabotage is a bitch, and then you die...so, how is that working for you???? Call 303-758-9113 to register. HYPNO-THERAPY & REGRESSION GROUP with Norma Mitchell.

How can you be happy, prosperous and wise if you still carry this Loss of Identity? "It matters not the Past, butt what you do today...thus will you create your Future." Call 303-758-9113 to register.

OR DOES LIFE NEED TO BE SO DULL AND BORING...REALLY??? Everything in Creation can be expressed as Energy...some nurtures and uplifts us, others diminish and limits us.
