The Sun The Moon, The Stars, and Maya is an inspiring book by Rich Okun.

As Rich write in his book; “Our lives are bombarded with things that can take us away from the special connections we are capable of. Each of us has the abil-ity to demonstrate love, compassion, gratitude and generosity. We can choose to live our lives by the golden rule. We can make time to appreciate the ex-quisite construction of our planet, and experience the joys of nature. We can look towards the star spangled heavens, appreciate the velvet silence, and draw peace from spirituality. We have the ability to find beauty in simplicity, and we can marvel at the complexity of what, at first glance, appeared deceptively sim-ple. Many of us have just forgotten how.

In today’s busy, electronics oriented world, dominated by distractions, special effects, and noisy shoot ‘em ups, simple earth based spiritual and moral issues have been effectively obscured from view and buried in the smoky haze of the fiery explosion of Computer Generated Images.

The Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Maya was created to help families discuss important issues with their children. Illustrations of Maya, the Shih Tzu pup-py muse, in complementary settings, accompany bits of wisdom relating to spiritual and moral issues. Notable quotations are the inspiration for Maya’s simple-language lyrical interpretations meant to evoke awe and wonder in all things and capture the imagination of

the child and the child within the parent.

Rich’s inspiration of the book“The Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Maya” and his website are offered in an effort to contribute to a better world. “My story; I have always wanted to do something creative. When I was very young, my mother encouraged my involvement in the arts, with Accordion Lessons (which didn’t last, but also in my drawing. At 6 years old, I was the youngest member of the Art Students’ League of New York, across the street from Carnegie Hall, however my careers were a little bit of everything else including flying airplanes, and corporate positions in both estab-lished and startup companies. Nothing felt right and I was always a fish out of water wherever I had a job.”


“After leaving corporate America and trying a partnership in an online retail I had created a blog. The business had a spiritual aspect, which I wanted to explore so I would take quotes from famous people and then write a short interpretation of that quote- I would then find photographs to accompany the poem. These became quite popular on the blog and through social media.”

“Fast-forward to April of 2011 our beloved Sammy, a 15-year-old Shih Tzu died. After months of watching me mope around, my wife thought it was time for a new family member, and it was evident that Maya chose us to be her family.- I have been and am like Tevye, the father from Fiddler on the Roof always talking to God, asking advise, offering suggestions, sharing something funny, a prayer or two, etc. For as long as I can remember and everyday since, like so many other people, I asked what should I be doing with my life, why am I here, how can I help? One hot summer day, while walking Maya I heard a soft whisper in-side my head, guiding me to further de-velop this format using Maya as a muse and illustrating her in appropriate settings to help children and parents discuss spir-itual matters. I decided to listen.

Rich spent his life in various corporate positions. He was the youngest mem-ber of the Art Students’ League of New York and after many years and different careers; he now devotes his focus to cre-ative passions. He has spent a lifetime studying many different ancient spiritual belief systems and was inspired to action when a new puppy, Maya came to town. Rich lives in Connecticut with his wife, Maya and 4 cats.

Love Letters By Bobbie Stuart


Several years ago I was having a mac-robiotic lunch with my youngest son and we were joyfully conversing about life. I had mentioned a special letter within the telling of a story about an old friend. I went on describing, as I tend to do, de-tailing the feeling I got every time I read the letter, the feel of the paper, the dried flower, now crumbled within its aging

papers, the handwriting, all curly cues and flourishes, and just how exhilarating it always is for me to read it, recapturing that time in my life when I first read it. My friend was gone, but through the alchemy of this magic letter, is still alive, stirring my senses and infusing my imag-ination with loving memories.

“Between the sheets, secrets and sorrows stream, heart in hand, pouring liquid love. Tell all, words yet unspoken, ride the

wave that caresses the shore; only love matters.”

“Infinite Love and Gratitude”by Bobbie Stuart


Suddenly my dear generation Gen Y son was very quiet and just stared at me. Finally he spoke, ”I’ve never ever gotten a real letter on paper with real writing, Mom.” His statement made me gasp and drop my fork onto my kale and butternut squash. “What, you mean nobody ever wrote you a letter, like a real letter with handwriting and everything?” I asked. Suddenly I felt like a failure as a mother and somehow had raised a seriously deprived child. How could I have let this happen? Why didn’t I write him letters? Spreading guilt began to upset my stomach, assuring my remain-ing lunch a trip in a take-home container.

I began to run my son’s past through my visual memory from age three onward to find any time when I may have writ-ten him a letter. Mostly I had taken him everywhere with me, we had travelled together, he never attended over-night camp, but I did send him post cards from different places when I went on trips - which he did enjoy, and he lived at home while in college. But an actual letter, no, I hadn’t. I’m sure his older brothers’ and sister must have sent him something, a few pages, some chatter, at some junc-ture. But once I completed my thorough self-flagellation, I looked him in his steady, calm green eyes and said, “Honey, I am going to write you a real letter.” He smiled and seemed excited.

I became possessed with the idea of writing him just the perfect letter that would say everything I ever wanted to say to him. I began to realize that with the advent of computers, Gen Y students stopped learning cursive script and began email-ing, then texting, with unexpected effects

that even the post office felt. My father had been a mailman for my entire child-hood, so I took this very seriously. What if there were no more letters, no more in-timate written communications, no more Post Office?

I searched for stationery stores, which no longer exist, replaced now by designed papers in specialty shops or art store fan-cy stock. Finally I found a thin grey writing paper set in a fancy French Boutique. The following days were spent composing, finding my perfect approach to conjure his excitement, to allure, but to be cool, contemporary, while imparting the wisdom I have been gestating.

Then the right pen became so urgent; I tried many but soon settled on my trusty Uniball Elite, black & wide.

When my pen stroked the paper, my best handwriting took hold, and with several tries I created my style. Several crumpled gray sheets to the side, I finally found my stride and fashioned a full page, then an-other, followed a week later with the last two, all filled with my loving messages to my youngest son. Inspiration swept over me. The envelope was the icing on the cupcake. Carefully I lettered his name and address, then mine, and applied the stamp with precision. The folding and in-sertion was next, followed by the licking of the flap and gentle fingering to smooth and seal the treasure.

A few days later he phoned, delighted. “Ma, I got the letter,” as if opening his mail-box had revealed a sparkling diamond.

by Bobbie Stuart

I imagine him carefully carrying its pre-cious contents up his stairs to silently undress the letter and unleash the mag-ic within. Alone in his chair, he savored my creation, imbibing my love and gentle messages. This was a sacred gift. It was my deep pleasure and his exquisite ap-preciation, a memory unforgettable.

Thereafter, the artist in me took over and I began to create love letter masterpiec-es. I foraged for wondrous papers, tiny subtle images, even sparkles and more, in order to full out explode into being a creative love letter maker. I even design, draw upon and beautify the envelope so the carriers and all who see it will benefit before the intended even receives their treasure. This has become my passion - creating and sending wondrously magical and strange super letters of delight and compassion.Though I adore social media and the con-venience of shooting global messages and images daily, nothing really touches the ancient ways, the intimate encounter, the unparalleled delicious alchemical in-fusions of heart-felt expressing through the lost art of love letters.

Think of who you can write a love letter to, and make it really special. If you’d like any ideas or pointers, or if you desire a personal creative love letter directly from me, or if you want me to write a letter from you to someone else, please contact me at bobbiestuart.com and mention the “Be-tween the Sheets” project.

I send you my love

Twin Flame HeartArtwork by Maryam Morrison

Fear is something that keeps us from moving forward. Sometimes the things we’re afraid of represent residual fear from experiences we’ve had during pre-vious lifetimes, and sometimes what we fear is the result of something that hap-pened to us during our current lifetime. Facing our fears one by one and over-coming them begins with the understand-ing that we absolutely have the power to overcome them; and the rewards for facing our fears include increased confi-dence, stress reduction, and accelerated spiritual growth.

Whether our fear is residual or new, our ego feeds it. The ego is and has always been necessary to our survival as we live our lives on planet Earth, but it is also the biggest block to our spiritual growth. Our ego, which is our conscious mind, is only a small part of who we are. The ego reflects itself in our personality, and is the representation, the sum total, of all we’ve learned and experienced--however, it’s more of a cover identity, so we can move past our ego, overcome our fears, and accelerate our spiritual growth.

As we continue to raise our vibrations, part of our evolutionary process is break-ing free of our ego and becoming aware that we are so much more than the role we are playing during our current incarnation. At the heart of our spiritual growth is the understanding or aware-ness of who we really are, the knowing that we are an aspect of God/Creator/Source, and as such we have the power to overcome our fears and create better lives for ourselves. In order to achieve this awareness, we must unlock the handcuffs that keep us bound to the belief that what we are physically in this incarnation is all that we are. Mov-ing past our ego is the key to unlocking these handcuffs, and to breaking free of the shackles that keep us locked in fear.

Understanding that we manufacture our fear means that we can make a con-scious choice to face our fears, over-come them, and let them go. Making the decision to face our fears is a substantial step forward when it comes to taking control of our lives and accelerating our Spiritual growth.

Accelerating Spiritual Growth by Facing our

Fears


One of the reasons that fear is able to take hold of us the way it does is be-cause the majority of us try to avoid it, instead of facing it head-on. The universe gives us whatever we focus on, and if we focus on the things we’re afraid of, we will attract more of into our lives So, by trying to avoid what we fear, we end up spending a lot of time thinking about what fear, which tells the universe that this is something we’re interested in and something that we want more of. This is a prime example of why watching our thoughts and words is so important, and it’s an excellent example of the power that we each have to create our reality.

Daily meditation will allow us to quiet our minds and provide our Higher Selves with an opportunity to help us understand who we are on a soul level, which will help us move past our ego. When it comes to overcoming our fears, we start by fac-ing them, and meditation can aid us in this endeavor. Facing our fear makes us more powerful and more in control of our lives, and here’s one way to get started:

• Define exactly what it is that you’re afraid of; you have to know what it is in order to neutralize it.

• Once you know what it is you’re afraid of; examine it, recognize it, and then let it go. Stop dwelling on it.

• If you have trouble letting it go, medi-tate with intention on how to neutralize your fear. Sit down in a quiet place and ask your Higher Self to help you let go of the fear you’re holding onto. Listen for

advice and guidance from your Higher Self. Follow what your gut, that little voice within, says to you during your mediation.

• To let your fear go, visualize it leaving you: like a bird flying south for the winter, off goes your fear. You have the power to do this.

Fear comes from within; it’s fed from both within and without. The sooner we acknowledge that we are powerful be-ings, and that our ego is no match for our soul, the quicker we’ll be able to let go of that fear and move forward. Fear keeps us from becoming all that we can be, all that we’re meant to be, and all that we planned to be during this incarnation. Re-member that you are a powerful being, and use your power to accelerate your spiritual growth. Namaste.

Reclaiming Our Power

By Emmanuel Dagher



Peace and blessings,

It’s such an honor and a joy for me to connect with you again! I feel so grateful knowing that no matter where we each are on our own personal journey, we can always pick right up where we left off and align with each other as if barely any time has passed by. It just confirms that we are all truly in this together.

So, how have you been feeling my friend? Are you noticing the energetic tempera-ture being turned up another notch, both in our personal lives and in the collec-tive consciousness? The high amount of movement and activity happening in the ethers is directly sparking a great deal of movement and activity within and all around us.

We have most definitely moved past the time of hibernation and isolating our-selves in deep contemplation for long pe-riods of time. If we haven’t been heeding the call already, then it’s time to come out of hiding to play and commune with the world again.

Hiding ourselves in any way, and that in-cludes hiding our gifts, talents, wisdom, message, and any other part of our pres-ence, will simply feel impossible. And those who used to find comfort in hid-ing will find themselves rocked in every way, because what they have been so used to as their default just doesn’t work anymore. Although at first it may feel like one’s whole identity is being stripped away, this shift moving us out of hiding is creating a new path to ways of being

that better aligns with the highest aspect of ourselves.

When the energetic temperature rises as it is now, a call to action usually follows. This call to action is simple: We are being asked to let go of the facades, structures and stories that we and our ancestors have created for ourselves; we are being called to move simply into love.

While being re-calibrated to a new heart centered way of existence, it’s complete-ly normal to experience our energy and emotions as being all over the place. The key is to allow these energies and emo-tions to come up as they need to without judgment or trying to contain them. It’s also helpful to remember in the back of our minds that our emotions do not define who we really are at our core. If we can just view them as being similar to puffy white clouds in the sky that pass us by, then we can allow them to just move on without attaching ourselves to them.

Releasing the Role of the Victim

Right now, we are being presented with an extraordinary opportunity to retire the victim archetypes that we and our ances-tors have identified with all this time.

It’s important to take a moment to honor these archetypes for serving in keeping us safe and protected in a world based on survival. However, we now know that a world of only survival is a world that is no longer in alignment with who we are at our core: a Divine Love Being.


As Divine Love Beings we are here to thrive our way into love with ourselves and the world around us. This divine part of ourselves has always known that we are constantly safe and protected, even when the survival based mind may have thought otherwise.

So now, as we thank the victim arche-types that served us up to this point, we can let them go with joy and welcome in our Higher Selves.

Releasing the role of the victim is made up of several important components. The first component to releasing victim con-sciousness is to accept every person, experience and thing as it has shown up in our lives without trying to change it. By accepting these things, we are not necessarily affirming that we resonate or agree with them, however we are giving ourselves permission to not allow them to define who we really are. Through accep-tance we also release the need dwell on the past and what may have been.

The second component to releasing vic-tim consciousness is to let go of blame. Blame comes from a need to make some-thing or someone right/wrong, or good/bad and somehow responsible for what we have experienced. In truth we are the Creator of all of our experience. When we operate from our Highest Selves, and acknowledge ourselves as Creator, we transcend these judgments. From our Highest Selves we navigate our way for-ward by what feels in alignment for us at that time and what doesn’t. Can you feel how this insight alone already feels light-

er? By blaming, we keep ourselves held in a time and place that hinders us from evolving and reconnecting with our High-est most Divine Self.

The third component to releasing victim consciousness is to take full responsibil-ity of our lives and well being. Sometimes the victim mindset may display resis-tance when it hears that we are responsi-ble for our lives and well being, because it had taken comfort in separating itself and buying into the illusion that whatever we need has to come from outside our-selves. It’s absolutely normal when this happens. However, by taking responsi-bility for our lives and well being, we are able to move out of victim consciousness and into Creator consciousness. It is in our Creator consciousness where we are able to move mountains. It is here that we are able to manifest from the most au-thentic and powerful aspect of ourselves.

By integrating these three components into our lives, we are sure to support our transition out of victim consciousness and into Creator consciousness more smoothly.

Reclaiming Our Power

The greatest power in the world is LOVE. When we embody love, we are the most powerful being in the Universe. Contrary to what we may have been taught, being loving does not mean we are weak, push-overs, or that we look the other way when times get tough. Real love does not hurt, feel hard, or have us giving up or hiding some part of ourselves away.


Those are mind structures that simply distract us from real love. Real Love is the constant that flows through all of life. When we choose to be love, we have the whole Universe behind us flowing in the same direction.

Because of societal conditioning, many of us have been hesitant to reclaim our power, because we associate it with be-ing corrupt or controlling. This kind of false power, also known as egoistic power, moves in the opposite direction of love. It likes to separate itself from the whole. Although this kind of power can appear quite real and convincing at times, the truth is that it’s not.

Egoistic power is fleeting and will always at some point self destruct in its attempt to push against the natural flow of love and life. Egoistic power thrives on the en-ergy of fear, because it’s the only thing convincing enough to move a person out of their true Divine power. Of course this forgetful period is temporary, but we’ve got to hand it to the energy of egoistic power for putting up a great show in try-ing to make itself last as long as possible.

Life is always here for us and never against us. We can take comfort in know-ing that by choosing not to buy into fear, we have every ounce of the Universe supporting us. Anything that tries to con-vince us otherwise, such as an idea that we are some small little helpless human being, or are lacking in some way, is just a fleeting illusion.

By surrendering to love, we empower

ourselves and those around us to such a degree that we are able to transform even the most egoistic of powers into love.

Power in Numbers

As we move forward, we are being asked to unite in love. That is what’s happen-ing right now. We no longer have to be on this journey alone. We no longer have to separate ourselves from each other by race, gender, roles, job titles, sexual orientation, etc. The Universe is consis-tently giving us opportunities to align with others who share a similar intention of uniting in love. “For where two or more are gathered in love, the greatest power resides.”

This is the time to say “YES!” to reclaim-ing our power and to sharing our gifts with the world.

We are all in this together,Till next time,

Miraculously yours,Emmanuel


When Emmanuel was two years old, while his mother was tucking him into bed, she heard him say something that caught her off guard and that has re-mained with her to this day. “Love is all there is, and we all come from love,” Em-manuel shared with his shy little voice. After asking him to repeat it again just to make sure she heard correctly, Emman-uel’s mom knew in that moment that her child had come into this world to serve humanity in a powerful way.

Over the past 10 years, Emmanuel Dagher has had the honor of co-creating miraculous shifts with thousands of peo-ple around the world through his work as a Transformational Healer, Conscious Evolutionary Guide, Medical Intuitive, Teacher and Author.

Emmanuel has dedicated his life to studying and fine tuning his work so that each client is left feeling expanded and transformed in ways they may never have experienced in this life time. With a background in Spiritual Psychology, and having received a plethora of advanced certifications in holistic and alternative healing therapies, Emmanuel is deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve and empower humanity.

Emmanuel applies the most cutting-edge healing technologies so that every per-sonal session, group, or live event he co-creates with you will leave you in-spired and expanded. For over 8 years now, Emmanuel has had the honor of working with people from all walks of life including moms, dads, children, vision-aries, world diplomats, large audiences, celebrities, and Fortune 500 companies. Even the top healing experts themselves turn to Emmanuel when they need sup-port and healing.

Emmanuel’s deep desire to help others was magnified when he was diagnosed with a 29.5 degree curvature of the spine (Scoliosis) at the age of 11. The doctors basically said that he’d be living with pain for the rest of his life with surgery or with-out, and that he would never heal.


He began to realize that in order to heal physically, he first needed to understand himself as a Spiritual being. As he contin-ued to delve deeper into his inner spiri-tual & healing journey, he began to notice many people around him spontaneously heal. He soon realized that with all the in-ner work he was doing, he was dissolving the veils that kept him from seeing others & himself as Divine Spiritual Omni Be-ings. As soon as he was able to gain this perspective, rapid healings began to un-fold in his life & in the lives of others.

The turning point was when Emmanuel witnessed the healing of his own spine manifest gradually as a result of work-ing with healing & spiritual principles. He used this life-changing experience as a catalyst to co-create amazing transfor-mation in the lives of others. Not only did he have the knowledge of how to heal, he also developed a powerful inner-knowing that it’s absolutely possible to heal. In fact,

this knowingness instantly surpassed all faith and belief he had in healing up to that point, which he believes is a major contributer to the success he continues to witness for his clients.

Emmanuel looks at this sacred opportu-nity to serve others as one of the most precious gifts in the Universe, and is humbled to be open and willing enough to allow the Universe to use him as an instrument of healing & transformation.

Emmanuel currently has a practice in Los Angeles, and also travels the world sharing his insights, healings, and gifts with others. Emmanuel also integrates sound healing into fun contemporary music that is used as a powerful tool for life-changing positive transformation for the listener.

WHY DO WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR SPIRITUAL

PROTECTION?

We are all psychic beings…perfect psychic instruments that receive vibra-tions every moment of the day and night. We receive impressions from the seen world…such as the dear ones who are thinking about us, the people we work with, people we cross in the street, in the grocery store, people who resonate with us and those who don’t. These people are each carrying some form of psychic baggage, and when they cross your path they can project onto you their judgments, criticisms, envy or jealousy. Negative energies can easily jump from one host to another, so there are many ways they can transfer negative vibra-tions unto you.

We are also receiving impressions from the unseen world of ghosts, spirits, de-mons, ancestors, and so on. If you were not brought up with the awareness of the myriad forms of energy that live alongside us, it’s very easy to slip into denial or amnesia about these things. However, to succeed in Life…we must

walk on the Beauty-full Mother Earth with FULL awareness…with IMPECCABLE Focus and Attention to our surroundings and the constant stream of activity that is affecting us.

If we do not accept this challenge of heightening our objective observance, we are choosing to be easy targets. While it is true that negative forces have the cosmic assignment to attempt to disrupt our Life and destroy our mind, body and spirit, it is WE who willingly and unwittingly open the door to them through lack of Awareness, Attention and Focus.

If we choose to be half-hearted in our approach to them, know this: they are NOT half-hearted in THEIR focus toward us. They are totally devoted to our down-fall. They are ALL-WAYS looking for ways to infiltrate our Life by filling it with pain. They create suffering in our Life Path to ensure we do NOT enjoy our time on the Beauty-full Flowering Earth.

BY PEACE MOTHER GEETA SACRED SONG

EXCERPT FROM THE IMPECCABLE WARRIOR OF LIGHT


Just as it is a poisonous snake’s nature to bite you if you interact with it ignorantly, it is the nature of any malevolent energy to attach itself to you and infiltrate your Life. They will attack your mind, health, relationships, home and Prosperity. It is vital you clearly understand this: they have one focus and one only--to destroy you!

We have all seen the cartoons of the wicked being on one shoulder and the good Angel on the other, both trying to get the character’s attention. That is what it is truly like in our daily activities. The negative voice will try to talk us into self-destructive thoughts and actions, while the Positive voice will strive to steer us towards a Beauty-full, Peace-full existence. Therefore, it is our Sacred Duty to learn to protect ourselves and doing so will help us discern the many voices influencing in our mind that influence our actions. With the assistance of the Compassionate Celestial and Earth Forces, we can train ourselves to quickly identify negative influences and immedi-ately take action to dissolve any danger.

You will come to realize that in these modern times, most people don’t know much about protecting themselves…Hence, they don’t have a sufficient pro-tective shield in place to guard them. The negative forces on the other hand are FULLY PREPARED…they do know ev-erything about US! We may choose to be casual towards them, perhaps feeling unsure we actually believe in their pres-ence. That is an unfortunate stance…while we are standing with one foot in

one boat and another foot in a second boat, we are unbalanced and easy prey. Meanwhile, malevolent energies are NOT casual in their approach to us! They are one-pointed in finding our weak spots and beginning their assault strategy. So our doubts and laziness in doing research in the most basic of Spiritual principles, which is Protection of our spirit, places our souls in their control.

BEING SENSITIVE MEANS BEING PRONE TO PSYCHIC ATTACK

Being sensitive is the same as being psychic. To the degree that you are sensitive, to that degree you are a psychically open instrument. In days past, for example, psychics/mediums/ channelers/intuitives were called ‘sensi-tives’. Therefore, whether you realize it or not, the more sensitive you are, the more psychic you will be. Your sensitivity will naturally open doors to other worlds and give you access to other realities, whether you welcome it or not.

To be psychic is to be open and this is why sensitive beings feel everything so intensely, including psychic attack. Sensitive beings are more likely to expe-rience symptoms of being ‘possessed’ by negative energies. This means they will tend to have more phobias, fears, vulnerability and overall out-of-Balance behavior. This is because malicious energies can easily access the sensitive being and then influence them towards negativity, which then causes suffering in the sensitive one’s Life.


Anywhere you find someone steeped in a pain-full, ugly Life-Path, whether that be from any destructive behavior abuse such as: cruelty, overt weakness, obses-sions, compulsions, violence, fears and so on, it reflects that the person is a good person at heart, but due to their nature being too sensitive/too open, they have been possessed by negative entities that now control the person and their Life Force.

These Teachings provide us with that long desired Clarity as to why people such as our Loved ones, who do Love us, can at times be so intolerant, cruel and generally unconscious of the pain theyinflict on us and themselves. Compre-hension such as this can bring us great “Peace of mind” in understanding human-ity’s behavior…particularly our own…and alert us to our duty to master our Spiri-tual Work in transforming and uplifting all situations. master our Spiritual Work in transforming and uplifting all situations.

Most sensitive souls are not aware that their Spiritual homework is to Balance out their sensitivity, their kind hearts, with Strength, Valor and Clarity. They don’t know they have to become great warriors who are focused, intelligent and ready for action! They incarnate on the Earth plane already accomplished in the softer tones such as Compassion, Generosity and Self-lessness…so they don’t have homework to do in that area. Their stud-ies, research and application in this Life-time must be in psychic self-defense. Once they have mastered that, they will be the strong, wise, kind Warriors we

need on Mother Earth for Harmony to exist and last.

If you are one of these sensitive beings…and I am sure you are…know that I and all the Legions of Light are cheering you on towards Victory. We are sending you waves of Victory Power so you can become Impeccable Warriors of Light! Increase your Spiritual Protection prac-tices so you can journey through Life’s adventures armed with a Power-full Protective Shield. The greater your Pro-tective Shield, the stronger your Faith will be…the deeper your Wisdom…the Brighter your Self Love and the more Radiant your Devotion to the Light.

Victory Power unto you! JAI JAI MAAAAAAAAAAAA!

GAIA Our Sacred Home

A New Beginning by Jan Diana

GAIA Our Sacred Home



One of my favorite movies is the Field of Dreams. I love the beautiful landscape of the vibrant, green cornfields against the blue skies. The story is intriguing as it opens up to a dream reality that perhaps would not seem possible, yet succeeds at opening up our heart. The music lifts my imagination into the clouds of possibilities that seem endless.

The story reunites a son with his Father who has passed years before and yet enters as a young man. There is a part near the end of the story where the Father asks his Son, “is this Heaven?” His Son answers, “This is Iowa, is there a Heav-en?” His Father replies, “oh yes, Heaven is the place that dreams come true.” The Son looks around, takes note of his life, his family, all of his blessings and joy, and replies,” than maybe this is Heaven.”

“Heaven is the place that dreams come true”. Have you ever thought about our blessed Mother Earth being the place that our dreams can and do come true? Today I will suggest perhaps a new way to look at our home here on Earth and what op-portunities are now available with many more to come. I desire to offer a new per-spective, a way to a New Beginning.

I am forever in gratitude for Gaia, our sweet mother earth, our sacred home. She truly is in every sense of the word a mother to us. She provides us with all that sustains us. Our bodies are made up of her many elements. She provides us air to breath, water to drink and many choices of deli-cious foods to eat.

She is not only mother to humanity but to

many other species as well, trees, plants, animals, birds, fish, insects, all living sentience making up all of us living here in her many realms. She provides us with beautiful landscapes to gaze upon and drink in the wonder. There is such a variety of beautiful places where we can choose to live or visit, allowing us to enjoy endless possibilities to experience and ex-press within. I feel so blessed to be living here on Earth at this amazing time of great change. Gaia is in process of ascension, elevating, evolving and rising up to become more. This is to be celebrated as this opens up opportunities not only for her, but for all of us to experience life in whole new expansive ways.

We are experiencing these many shifts and adjustments along with Gaia, for we also are in the process of evolving, each within our own pace of choosing. The key for us to ride these waves of change in ease and grace is to be in harmony. Within har-mony is greater clarity, making it easier to become aware of new ways to experience and express life, perhaps in ways we have never thought or even considered before

You see, Gaia is more than just a place to reside as she offers us limitless poten-tials to live and express our lives, like a beautiful canvas that we can write upon creating the dreams of our hearts to live within. So how can we write upon this canvas to bring these beautiful dreams into our reality?


Today I am going to suggest a new ap-proach that will not only assist Gaia and all of her children, but bring us each great bliss and joy. Joy expands and elevates at-tracting more joy, so why not let our focus be joy! When we are in joy, envisioning a new beginning for ourselves, we are also assisting the collective of the world. How wonderful to know that your joyful dreams assist in creating the New World for all of humanity.

To begin, ponder about what that means to you.. What would your ideal dream life look like? Perhaps it would mean having an abundance of money, excellent health, time and freedom to explore what it is you love to do and experience. If you won-der, how is it possible, to have a new be-ginning when my life seems so different than my dreams, how can I reach those delicious planes of harmony? I would like to share a simple philosophy; everything is energy, frequency and vibration and can be shifted into greater harmony, reaching greater clarity, opening up the mind to greater awareness and acceptance.

We are like energy machines, with our thoughts, words and actions; we influence our realities and our experiences with our perceptions. This is even more notice-able in these new earth energies. You might have noticed that things seem to be happening in your life faster than before. There are many great ways to shift energy and perceptions, many tools for personal empowerment. I will share some simple ones you can begin to use today!

Imagine our old ways of thinking, being, living as a beautiful coat with many colors.

It has kept us comfortable and provided many experiences and adventures. Now the weather has shifted and it is warm-er. We can set aside this coat, and put it away, like turning a page in a book to begin a new chapter. We can step into the sunshine more fully, feeling very com-fortable in this lovely new energy. We can accept a new beginning in joy.

Let us work with the vibration of Joy. Joy expands and elevates, attracting even more joy so why not create our dreams in joy! Sweet Gaia provides us with will all the necessary ingredients to create the dream recipes of your life. You decide what you desire, and you can create the recipes that will bring about your dreams.

A Recipe for New Beginnings:

1. Spend time in joy, whatever brings you to that beautiful blissful state. It may it be meditation, walks in nature, spending time with a loved one, or gazing into the eyes of your beloved pet. I am sure you already have many ideas of what makes your heart sing.

2. Within joy, get a clear vision of your dreams, what does it look like, feel like? Utilize whatever tools you have to release energy of resistance.

3. Be in joy and dream your dream, put yourself in the dream. Joy will take your heart to many places of delight.

4. Water your dreams with your thoughts, words and actions. Affirm the truth of the wonder of your dream. See it as a garden of beautiful flowers. You may have


some weeds in the garden, lovingly pull them out, setting them aside and water the flowers. Your energy flows to where your attention is, so water the flowers.

5. Use Chanulanaha, the sacred mantra in the Language of love, which vibrates joy and love. Speak or think it when you are pondering your dreams. (Read “Lan-guage of Love, Ancient keys of Promise that can unlock your potential”, Eden Magazine June 2013, Free Recorded class available)

When you are joy, in that beautiful vi-bration and frequency, focusing on the dreams of your heart, your life will change in amazing ways. What is so exciting is that this can happen quite swiftly. As a gift to assist you with experiencing Your New Beginning in joy, I am offering a Free Tele-Class, “Dream Your New Reality”. You will take a journey to a place where dreams do come true, experiencing the joy of liv-ing in your dream, as it manifest before you! This class is a real joy bringer. (Class details at end of article)

These truly are exciting times, filled with the promise of boundless opportunities to live and express the dreams of our hearts. This is our time to create our Heaven on Earth, within Our Field of Dreams. May you be in joy as you create your new be-ginning and may we together create the New World, living within the reality of joy, peace and abundance for one and for all.

Many well meaning individuals feel that to demonstrate criticism is THE way, and the only way to help someone learn, de-velop or realize their errors. Criticism has been used to get someone to do what is asked; to obey, or to just plain feel badly enough about oneself, that they are ex-pected or motivated to correct whatever seems to be considered ‘wrong.’

Most all of us have been criticized. Many parents and spouses do this constantly to their children or partners, all within the ‘guidelines’ of feeling this is the best way

to handle any situation that calls for com-promise. Whether the criticism comes from control, hate, caring, or even most saying it comes from “Love,” the point is that it never makes one feel good. It usually doesn’t even cause the one do-ing the criticizing to feel good either, let alone the one getting the criticism. Caus-ing someone to feel bad may temporarily get ‘your way,’ but in the end, that per-son has not been enlightened or loved, and will continue having more unpleas-ant experiences showing up, as they are then feeling badly about themselves.

CRITICISMBy Ellen Heller



Sadly some start to then treat others the same, and the ‘son suffers the sin’s of the father,’ so to speak.

Where does it come from? The answer is fear. We try to control out of fear, and liter-ally if we cannot physically restrain someone from doing what we don’t wish them to do, we will turn to using criti-cism as a means to ‘tie them up,’ emotionally. We feel that if we just say the ‘right’ thing; something that will really ‘get to them,’ and they feel badly enough, whether that ‘bad’ feeling is out of guilt, or just feeling ‘not good enough,’ many think that will be the motivation that will ‘spark’ that person into IMPROVE-MENT.

That thought is like painting a picture, ripping it up, and thinking it will have improved the appearance of that paint-ing. To ‘shred’ someones’ self esteem and self worth by criticism only keeps that pattern of whatever they are doing, to continue. It is Law. What you ‘put out there’ in thought, word and deed, will manifest into what you are placing out there. It will return again, and again, and again. And not only to the one you are criticizing, but also to the one who is being critical. It

will show up as getting more things to feel critical about.

To improve anything and anyone, there are just three words to remember: Love Reflects Love.

(For more information on this please consult the book “Sci-ence and Health, with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy.)

Love heals. Love is the En-ergy that we all are. It is also our Source. The best way to help ourselves to keep away criticism and to Be Love to all is to remember the following: “If someone could read your mind, knowing ex-actly what you were think-ing of them, would they be healed by it?

Remember, Love Reflects Love. And what you do to someone, you do to you.....the circle is complete, as We Are All One.


“All questions can be sent to:

Q A&Spirit-Minded

(Advice Column)

Ask Ellen Heller

Question: Dear Spirit -Minded,

I am in a relationship that is so upset-ting; no matter what I do, it just isn’t ‘good enough!” What am I doing wrong? Signed...Feeling Bad

Answer: Dear Feeling,

Many times we feel we are not good enough and that usually happens when we are trying so hard to fulfill some-one else’s vision and version of who we are. We, in truth are Spirits, having human experiences. Therefore, the only one we really need to answer to is ourselves. We are born in perfec-tion and even though we may not be pleasing someone, the trick to all this

is to stay in the world, but be not of it. If someone is treating you in a way that feels bad, then the kindest thing to do both for yourself and the other is to stop them from being this. How? It may mean saying your truth clearly and concisely; it may mean leaving if they do not change their treatment of you. If you cannot do this for yourself, then ask yourself what would you tell your child to do, and then force your-self to follow that same advice. Even if you do not have a child, you do know what Love would do for that Child. We must Love ourselves the same. Blessings!

Owl Spirit Symbols: Wisdom, Silence, Magic, True Sight, Solitude, Enlighten-ment, Secrets, Night, Change, Omens, Vigilance, Dreams, Feminine, Intuition, Stealth, Mystery, Insight

Owl Meaning and Medicine: The spirit of Owl brings with it many different mean-ings. If the Owl totem has entered your life recently take a moment to stop and reflect on some of the following messag-es:

• Silence, Solitude: Is the bustling ca-cophony of daily life overwhelming you, are your words getting you into trouble? If Owl has glided silently into your life it is important to heed this totem’s impor-tant meaning. Owls are generally solitary and they have the remarkable ability to fly silently and to quietly move from perch to perch. The silence of the owl spirit offers lessons of stealth and poise in our everyday lives. You may need to remove yourself from the noise of life and be-come the still silent observer. After slow-ing down and becoming stable you will be amazed by the wealth of information and meaning that surrounds you.

True Sight, Secrets: Is someone in your life being dishonest, are you being left in the dark by friends or family? The owl totem can help to reveal those who would take advantage of another or deceive others. If the owl guide has appeared to you, it may be bringing you the ability to

see what others may miss. Open your eyes and truly examine how things are, you will be surprised that suddenly you can see things that are normally hidden from view – like the motives of those around you. External appearances will give way to the truth and meaning hidden beneath.

• Owl Totem Swoops into Dreams Change, Intuition: Do you feel stagnant or apathetic; does that little voice in your head constantly nag at you? Owl is often thought to come to those who need to let go of some part of their life that is no longer needed. Listen carefully to that inner voice and be guided to recapture the knowledge of your true path in life. Owl’s senses pierce through shadows, beyond fear and darkness, through to the other side that promises light, happi-ness and knowledge.

• Night, Dreams: Are you being hound-ed by fears and worries, have you been having strange or disturbing dreams? Because most owls are active between dusk and dawn, they are sometimes called Night Eagles or messengers from the dark side. If the Owl totem comes and sits nearby, it may indicate a need to peer into the darkness and face your fears. Also, pay close attention to your dreams, they carry powerful meaning and symbols of your unconscious and emo-tional well being.

Owl Spirit Meaning Symbols, and Totem


Owl Spirit Meaning Symbols, and Totem


People with Owl Totem are…•Perceptive•Intuitive•Creative Dreamers•Mysterious•Quiet•Great Listeners•Wise Counsels

People who possess the power of the owl share many traits with their totem an-imals and feel a strong connection with the night and to the occult. Owl medicine brings the gift of wisdom and insight.

It is almost impossible to keep a secret from an owl-person, as they see through even the best hidden ploys. They always grasp the whole truth and often take this gift for granted. It is because of this un-canny ability to see through the masks that most people wear, that owl people are often unpopular and feared by others. If Owl is your spirit guide it is important that you do not use your sight against others but instead to help them discover the meanings of life messages that sur-round them.

The gift of owl medicine is wisdom and the ability to see in the shadows, this translates into great insight, for the self, and for the others. People with owl as their symbolic spirit guide find it easy to intuit deeper reasoning and meaning in relationships and events. Like the beat of the owl’s wings you must be gentle in sharing your wisdom, and subtle about its delivery. If all goes well the subject of your gaze may not even be aware that you are giving them valuable advice.

Many owl people are overly secretive or isolate themselves from others. Imagine a person who stays inside, up late at night, pursuing knowledge and understanding. The secretive habits of the owl, its quiet flight and various calls, whistles, screech-es and hoots, have made them objects of fear and superstition. As an owl person it is important to remember that there is both a night and day, and to not get lost purely in the spirit of night and mystery. Remember that the owl totem carries with it the gift of insight, and what use is this gift if it is not shared?

Owl’s Message: Owl brings with it the message of truth and awareness. When owl hoots at you or swoops into your life make sure to stop and become aware of your surroundings, seek truth in every as-pect of your life and interactions.

Owl in Dreams: The appearance of owl in your dream brings several different meanings. In the dreamtime this totem symbolizes wisdom, insight, magic, ex-panded awareness and virtue. If the owl is silently observing you, remember that this spirit is a symbol of insight.


Examine your own life and reconnect with your intuition.

If the owl is flying, swooping, or stalking it represents your fears and negative be-haviors. Do not let your worries hang si-lently over your head and instead address any problems so they may be changed.

To hear the screech or hoot of an owl symbolizes a disconnection with your inner voice. Your conscious and uncon-scious minds are out of synch. Alterna-tively, the cry may carry the meaning of loss or regret.

Cultural Symbolism: Throughout history and across many cultures, people have regarded Owls with fascination and awe. Few other creatures have so many differ-ent and contradictory beliefs about them

• Native American: The most prevalent Native American symbolism of Owl is one that is associated with death and spirits. Many Native American tribes viewed the owls as spirits of the dead, or the souls of the recently deceased. Some tribes also believe that owl was a messenger of the underworld and carried spirits to the af-terlife. Owls were also viewed as power-ful spirit protectors and their feathers held great meaning and value.•Celtic/Gaelic: In Celtic symbolism, the owl is noted for wisdom, keen sight, and patience. The owl is a guide in the un-derworld and an effective hunter. At the same time this night-dweller was consid-ered a “corpse-bird” or “night hag.”•Indian: In early Indian folklore, Owls rep-resent wisdom and helpfulness, and have

powers of prophecy.

• Greek/Roman: In most lore the owl symbolizes wisdom and protection and was the favorite bird of Athene, the god-dess of wisdom. To the Romans, the owl was both a symbol of victory and doom. To hear the hoot of an Owl presaged im-minent death. The deaths of Julius Cae-sar, Augustus, Commodus Aurelius, and Agrippa were apparently all predicted by an Owl.

• Chinese: Asian peoples told tales of the owl stealing children in the night. Oth-ers believed witches could fly about in the form of owls and that sorcerers could send messages by means of this bird.

• Biblical: Because he is a solitary night bird, the owl has come to represent the forsaken. Job in his affliction calls himself “a companion to owls” (Job 30:29). The owl is associated with ruins – places that have been utterly abandoned and are un-fit for human habitation.

Let us shine wherever we go, letting other people see the light we carry, at the same time there will be peo-ple who could notice some shadows on our-selves; let that people teach us with their light. Eventually we will be sharing light and exorcising the shadows as human beings we been carrying since immemorial time.~angel espada-aka-augusto poderes~

Are you on the real road of love? Do you practice silence instead of reaction? Do you communi-cate instead of imposing your point of view? Do you accept the others as different as they are? Do you realize that your experience is an experiment of learning more about love while practicing a tiny di-mension of what we call love…Just be patient we all are just apprentic-es of LOVE…


10 Tips on How

to Make Our Nature Smile

and Homes CleanCleaning your home doesn’t mean you 100% free from harm. If you are using old cleaning products (manufactured ones), then you might be in great danger. Why? These products have lots of harmful chemicals in it that can bring about cer-tain harm to your health.

Choosing Eco-friendly cleaning products will reduce the risk of diseases caused by manufactured products. Ensuring that you breathe with fresh clean air, these natural cleaning products will clean your surrounding as well as your conscience.

Starting at your homes and just by doing little things is really a great help. By follow-ing these simple steps, you can protect your family from diseases that chemical-

based cleaning products can cause you:

1. Remove toxic products. These prod-ucts lying around at your homes are a great threat to you children so remove these products and place them in a safe place (where your kids can’t touch them). Wait for hazardous chemical pick-ups and replace these products with natural ones afterwards. If there are no chemicals in your household your kids will be safer and also your environment,

2. Using biodegradable and non-toxic substitutes helps reduce the toxins at your home and waste stream of chemical products. Look at the labels of the prod-ucts and avoid it if it has the word Poison, Danger and mostly Toxic.

By Markus Skupeika


3. Know more about natural cleaning products and how to make them. This way, you can save money (even earn some) and protect your health. There are books and other homemade cleaning recipes that can give you ideas on how to make them. Just make sure you keep it labeled and out of reach of children. Even if it is non-toxic, still there can be compli-cations when swallowed accidentally.

4. Make use of reusable objects like sponge, rags, cloths, mops etc. This way, you can save your money and help re-duce the use of some earth resources. Also, support recycled materials and or-ganic cleaning products.

5. Always choose the right products for the objects you are cleaning to save time also money, if you bought natural clean-ing products, read the instructions or la-bels carefully, see if it exact for the job that you were doing.

6. Disinfecting is a way of removing germs, but not all bacteria are harmful, using alternative for disinfectants really works and help reduce certain diseas-es, most of disinfectants uses chlorine bleach, chlorine bleach is a potential carcinogen and causes pollution when it reaches water streams.

7. Cleaning indoor air is also needed, this way we can avoid suffocation from the cleaning products we already used, plants are good indoor cleaners and pro-vides oxygen too, another way is by open-ing your window and let the air flow or if you have ventilation fans turn it on, make use of some essential oils and lemons as

an alternative for air fresheners, this way we can avoid air pollutions.8. Help conserve natural resources, water is a good example, we always use water in lots of cleaning jobs but we of-ten misused it or waste it, we should learn on how to conserve these resources and make use them wisely, support natural cleaning products or recycled products, and join others on preserving earth natu-ral beauty.

9. If you just listen to what your senses are telling you then you can do the job more easy, like by just smelling you will know where to clean, and just by touch-ing you will feel those sticky parts of your house, making use of your senses prop-erly will make you feel better.

10. Last but not the least is by sharing, inform others what you learned about natural cleaning, and the benefits natu-ral cleaning products can give, this way you can help in spreading and making a green toxic free community.

We all are linked together. That’s why we need to do our share in making life safer for our family and for our environment; just by supporting organic cleaning prod-ucts we are doing our part in helping our mother nature.
