THE HARDER YOU TRY, THE WORSE IT BECOMES...
by Mario C. Veo
Why Are You Struggling

Have you ever wondered why this is... why this endless struggle without much results... does "God" really have it in for you... or is it something else? Come on, how much work does it take to finally break through these struggles - after a while "Karma" just becomes a meaningless excuse... so what gives...!?

Consider this: if you keep hitting your head against a brick wall, you are just going to hurt yourself! (hey! that's a great analogy - now "you" are the actual cause of your own pain... I never looked at it this way before... go figure...). O.K., to get back to our topic - if you keep struggling - doing all you can to achieve your desires... and no matter how much you do, and how hard you try, still nothing changes... then you must be doing something wrong (gee, ya think!?)

So, how to resolve this dilemma... what to do, what to do with you...

MAKING SENSE OF THE ASTRAL PLANE
by Bruce Johnson

Ancient and modern religions have used many different labels to describe that plane of life that all souls migrate to immediately after physical death. The many names attributed to this plane that is composed of matter much finer than the most rarified gas include-the spirit world, heaven, the afterlife, and by Occultists- the astral plane or "the astral". Here we find Valhalla of the Norse legends, Kama Loka of the Hindu scriptures, and the Happy Hunting Ground of the Native American. Within the many subdivisions of the astral plane are levels that correspond to the Catholic Purgatory as well as the Hells of all religions.

PLANETS AND POSSIBILITIES: A LOOK AT THE ASTROLOGY OF MARCH
by Sally Shotwell
Planets & Possibilities

As we begin this month, we are encouraged to formulate a game plan to ensure that we're comfortable on our journey to the Vernal Equinox March 20 and beyond. The Sun (our consciousness) in compassionate Pisces close to dreamy Neptune in the same watery sign remind us of the healing properties of water, Mercury adds his mental acuity to the sensitive pair March 13 and stresses the need for us to pay attention to our imagination which offers us valuable information. This material may soon be used to implement new activities and goals. This past year we probably felt restricted in certain areas of our life and we want to be able to forge ahead!

Where have you felt blocked and what would you like to accomplish?

Do you have a plan in mind to implement?

INTRODUCTION TO HYPNO/REGRESSION THERAPY
with Norma Mitchell

The Key

Sunday, March 8, 2015. 2 pm - 3 pm. FREE.

What many of us experience in life are choices we made to grow and learn before we took on our current body, personality and situation. Some believe we have to 'pay back' on a karmic balance sheet, while others accept we sometimes choose to experience 'opposite side of the coin' conditions rather than 'have to' do so.

Please join Norma for this introduction to a series of interactive sessions of Hypno/Regression Therapy which will open up a beautiful new world of learning, growing, releasing and succeeding.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE LIGHTWORKER
with Marci McCaffery

Astrologer Marci McCaffery

Monday, March 23, 2015. 7 - 9 pm. $20.

"What are you hiding from yourself?"
Why do the same old things get to us so easily, and so intensely? Our 'same old things' are clues to our dark sides - and to the emotions and traits that we fear most in ourselves. If you find yourself disproportionately angry with the selfishness of a friend, the laziness of a coworker, the arrogance of a family member, or even the rudeness of a stranger, maybe Marci can help you to acknowledge and accept your weaknesses and turn them into hidden strengths... and maybe reclaim your wholeness once again. Call 303-758-9113 to register.

Everyone is psychic. The secret lies in discovering which of your gifts are strongest and knowing how to use them. Everyone is usually strongest in one or two areas.

We will also practice reading auras. There will be lots of practice to help you do this. You will leave this class knowing which of your psychic gifts are strongest, with handouts to help further develop them. Some of the areas we will cover include reading auras, group readings and pendulums. There will be lots of time for practice. Call 303-758-9113 to register.
