Get ready for an exciting year. As-trologers have been privately talking about 2010 at astrology conferences
for several years, and now it’s time to bring our secrets into the world. If you have been impatiently waiting for 2012, then you will be happy to know that it is arriving two years early.
The heavy-duty outer planets that trans-form lives are all tied together in 2010 in a challenging pattern called a T-square. Imagine the tension you would feel if you were sitting on a three-legged chair that should have four legs. You can sit on it, but you need to pay conscious attention to your actions to maintain your stability.
The least little movement, like reaching for your cup of tea, requires you to rebal-ance on the fly. Add to that, explosive Uranus moves into impatient Aries this summer to blow up your comfort zone.
Before you rush to call your favorite astrologer, know that this motivating planetary alignment is a good thing. When planets line up in the early degrees of ac-tion signs (specifically Libra, Aries and Capricorn), there is an impatient rush to pioneer a new path.
In 2010, the universe reminds you that everything is connected. You must look several steps down the road when you make a decision, because your actions this year will reverberate throughout all areas of your life during the next two years.

If you are tired of pundits and bloggers rehash-

author Caroline Myss looks at today’s econom-
ic and political crisis through a different lens.

the current melt-down as a collective spiritual
crisis that is rooted in a loss of respect for the
values upon which our nation was founded.
Q. How do you see the economic crisis?
A. Everything looks the same except more and more storefronts are
empty. More and more businesses are shut down. We have outsourced ourselves. We made foolish decisions of the soul. We ceased to be humble and we became ar-rogant in our policies. We are no longer people of wisdom or reflection.
Everybody had to sacrifice to get here, to start their lives anew. They wanted to do it. In order to get to this land of great promise,
your worldly actions with a passionate, heart-centered path.

Reconnective Healing
This is NEW! This is DIFFERENT! This is REAL!
For more information visit: www.TheReconnection.com or read The Reconnection by Dr. Eric Pearl “Heal Others, Heal Yourself”
®Reconnective Healing not only includes yet expands beyond any and all known forms of “energy” healing. The Reconnective Healing spectrum is comprised of the full healing and evolutionary continuum of energy, light and information, and has brought about unparal-leled worldwide reports of healings from serious afflictions including:
Distance Reconnective Healing transcends the limitations of space! It is as potent and effective as in-person sessions.
®
• Cancer • AIDS-related diseases • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome • Multiple Sclerosis • Cerebral Palsy • Many mental & emotional afflictions• Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis • Epilepsy
The Reconnection brings in "new" axiatonal lines (part of a timeless network of intelligence and parallel-dimensional circulatory system) that enable us to standardize unique vibratory levels and frequencies for healing and, ultimately, for our evolution. The Reconnection activates these new lines, allowing for the exchange of energy, light and information,the reconnection of DNA strands and the reintegration of 'strings'.

Creativity AffirmationAs God created the universe, the seed of creation was planted in me.I nurture this energy of creation, allowing it to change my heart.I acknowledge behavior that does not serve me well.I open my seed of creativity, inviting new ways of living to flow forth.In this moment, I create heaven on Earth in me.
Meditational PrayerSee yourself dipping
a paintbrush into a can of rich orange paint. As you
sweep the brush across the canvas of your life, see it painting over experiences that you want to release. As the old events and behaviors are swept away, see new ways of living take form on the canvas. See yourself living the life God intends for you as you say the following prayer: Dear God, I hold your blessed power of creation. Show me how to find new ways of living that reflect the great love you hold for me. Through dreams, friends and other messengers, illuminate my path through the power of your creative grace.

Portland native Tamara Adams, who created Butterfly on the cover of New Connexion, has been paint-ing for more than 20 years. She is a full time professional artist, ex-hibiting her work in galleries and juried art events throughout the Pa-cific Northwest. Her colorful acrylic paintings of women and children and contemporary interpretations of traditional iconography pay tribute to the beauty, mystery and strength of the female spirit.
With a wide range of artistic influences, she draws much of her inspiration from mythology, cul-ture, spirituality and religion. The concepts and values reflected in her work are meant to inspire people of all faiths to a deeper spiritual connection.
Encountering the divine can be as simple as a moment of quiet contemplation and these moments are the theme of Adams’ work. While exploring her own beliefs and di-vine potential through art, writing and healing practices, she’s created thousands of sacred images and a powerful vision of women who are truly blessed.

The Beliefs of EckankarThe teachings of Eckankar define the na-ture of soul more carefully than do other current religions. Each person is soul, a particle of God sent into the lower worlds (including Earth) to gain spiritual experi-ence. Purified by the spiritual exercises, you come into contact with the Holy Spirit. Your goal is spiritual freedom in this lifetime, after which you become a co-worker with God, both here and in the next world. Karma and reincarnation are primary beliefs.
Key to the ECK teachings is the Mah-anta, the living ECK master. He has the special ability to act as both inner and outer master for ECK students. He is the prophet of Eckankar, given respect but not worship. He teaches the sacred name of God, HU, which lifts one spiritually into the light and sound of God, the ECK.
Harold Klemp is the spiritual leader of Eckankar today. He was raised on a Wisconsin farm and attended divinity school. In the 1960s, he found the teach-ings of Eckankar. In 1981, after years of spiritual training, Harold Klemp became the Mahanta, the living ECK master.
Personal experience with the light and sound of God is the cornerstone of
Eckankar. People who truly find these two aspects of God undergo a complete spiritual change. Life becomes fresh and new again, as it was in early childhood.
Learn more about Eckankar at www.eckankar.org. For local events, visit www.eckankar-oregon.org, www.eck-wa.org and www.eckankar-idaho.org.

PSYCH-K Changes MindsIf you are still not where you want to be in your life after all the seminars, self-help books, affirmations and conscious living, you may have left out one thing: reaching your subconscious mind where all the beliefs programmed during childhood are stored.
Nearly 95 percent of what you think, do, say, feel and believe originates in the subconscious mind. To reach your goals, it’s important to reach your powerful subconscious mind and change beliefs that limit your success.
PSYCH-K helps you communicate directly with both the conscious and subconscious minds, so you can change old self-limiting beliefs into new self-enhancing ones that support you.
PSYCH-K processes facilitate and increase the “cross talk” between two brain hemispheres, achieving a more “whole-brained” state that is ideal for changing beliefs at the subconscious level of the mind. When the right and left hemispheres are in simultaneous commu-nication, it maximizes your full response potential to life’s challenges.

When the flow of your body and mind are equally aligned with one another, and you are aligned
with your life’s reality, you can experience optimal well-being.
To flow is to live in optimum harmony and alignment with all of your inner and outer experiences. Harmonious alignment differs from the flotation prescribed by the often heard advice to “go with the flow,” because such drifting invariably compromises the inner flow of your own unique being. Hence Thomas Jefferson’s prescription: “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
For example, if surfers did no more than go with the flow, they would be routinely dumped by every wave they encounter rather than ride it out. While flotation is passive, flowing (like surfing) is proactive, as shown by the familiar children’s song for effective self-navigation: “Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.” Many people overlook this song’s recogni-tion that even downstream travel (and for surfers, downwave travel) requires that we row to the rhythm of our own flow in appropriate alignment with the flow of our experiences.
Just as fish regulate their flow-state with bodily undulations that aid in their upstream, cross-stream and downstream navigation, you are most effective when you likewise continually steer the flow of your inner being to accommodate the changes in your life. Full flow of your uniqueness requires mindful self-nav-igation, regardless of the direction that is taken by your outer stream of circum-stances and inner stream of consciousness.
An example of such mindful self-nav-igation is presented in Edgar Allen Poe’s short story, “The Maelstrom,” about a shipwrecked sailor who becomes caught in the swirling waters of a gigantic North Atlantic whirlpool. Like a sailboat tacking into a headwind, he leveraged himself in an Aikido-like manner across the flow of the swirling water, and thus maneuvered himself out of the whirlpool. Life is often like a headwind that requires you to align your flow accordingly.
I found this out one afternoon as I sought solace along a creek that tumbled and meandered down a mountain slope into Colorado’s Roaring Fork river. As I ascended along the creek’s course, I noted the stark contrast between its turbulent and calm passages, which mirrored the stream of my own consciousness and the uneven rhythm of my own life.
I sat down with pen and paper in hand as if to take dictation, and asked for the creek’s advice: “If you were literate, what message would you have for me?”
The creek responded as if it could in-deed talk, and what I heard it say to me became the poem “Flow.”
Receiving this verbal flow-through was a born-again experience, and whenever I have since had feelings of anguish, I remember the creek’s prescription to be as water is. What I remember most of all is that what emerges from my own flow is enough to get me safely through any tur-bulence that arises around or within me.
See an artistic version of “Flow” with an illustration by artist Lynne Taylor and music by choral conductor David York at www.newthoughtcsl.org/flow. Noel McInnis presents “Flow” on Jan. 27 at 7 pm at New Thought Center for Spiritual Living at 1040 C Ave. in Lake Oswego.
FlowBe,as water is,without friction.Flow around the edgesof those within your path.Surround within your ever-moving depthsthose who come to rest there —enfold them, while never for a moment holding on.Accept whatever distanceothers are moved within your flow.Be with them gentlyas far as they allow your strength to take them,and fill with your own beingthe remaining space when they are left behind.When dropping down life’s rapids,froth and bubble into fragments if you must,knowing that the one of you now manywill just as many times be one again.And when you’ve gone as far as you can go,quietly await your next beginning.

Experience Your Past Lives
Everyone needs positive messages, just like the body needs food.
Equally important, negative mes-sages are poison to the personality — they starve and deform it. It’s the business of all sentient creatures to avoid both inter-nalizing negative messages and offering a negative message as sustenance to any other person.
Each person must receive at least five key kinds of positive messages every day. In addition, men and women each have their own set of message requirements. They are vital to the creation of powerful
intimacy and are just one of many vastly underestimated stumbling blocks relating to need on the path to great intimacy.
The necessary five messages tend to build on one another — for example, most people need to feel seen before they can really hear an apology. That said, each message is a stand-alone, and all are equally important.
1. I see you. Tell your partner, and everyone else in your life, that you see them fully and completely. Let them know that you really are seeing them by pay-ing careful attention and delving into de-tails beyond what they might expect. Tell them your impression of their hopes and fears, their special talents, and when appropriate, their deeper feelings.2. I regret your pain and suffering. Next, express regret. Tell your part-ner, and anyone else you care about, that you regret their misfor-tunes and sufferings. Feel free to apologize for the pain life itself may have caused them, if it seems appropriate. You can apologize for
anyone, for anything, without taking the guilt or blame on yourself, and your apology will have value. Think of an apology as the expression of regret
rather than acceptance of blame. Remember that only about one out of every thousand needed apologies is ever con-veyed in our world.
3. You are loved and a part of the pack. The third mes-sage to give freely to everyone is the message of unconditional love. I always think of this message in concrete terms. I want people to know that if I were the helmsman of a crowded lifeboat in frothy green stormy seas, and if they were to fall over board, I would go back for them. This third message is a lifeboat message for me, rather than a syrupy declaration of emotion. The message you give your partner is an ultimate version of this message. When expressed to the rest of the world, the message is free of gender context, and the pack is the fellowship of human beings everywhere.
4. I appreciate your contributions and achieve-ments. People need to hear that they are appreciated for their contributions, achievements and victories. Here too, people rarely receive the messages that they have earned. Most of the incred-ible feats achieved by human beings are internal. People suffer in silence, they struggle internally, they face de-mons and dig deep inside for hidden resources. Great things happen inside the human heart. Look there and don’t hold back when you perceive some-thing wonderful or amazing in your fellow creatures.
5. You are safe with me and from me. Finally,
I see you.You are loved.
I appreciate you.
You are safe.
people need to hear that they are safe, really safe. Watch over them, and tell them that you are doing so. Incred-ibly, many people I meet have never been effectively told that safety exists. Most people believe only in degrees of jeopardy and live in degrees of greater or lesser anxiety, but never in true relax-ation. The assurance of safety is a vital and wonderful resource that we need to share with one another. A great many contentious behaviors in
the world are attempts to compensate for the lack of needed messages. People ask for raises because they haven’t been told they are appreciated. People sue other people because they haven’t received an apology. They destroy and even kill because they have never felt seen, and it seems as though any attention is better than none. Knowledge of the messages and their role in human life is one of the simplest and most precious things to have come my way in a lifetime on this path.

How to Use Channeling for Soul Growth & Healing
“Highly recommended!”
If you believe that none of us are here on Earth by accident, then we can only suppose that we must be here
on purpose. Each of us has a wise one within who remembers the way back to wholeness and our life’s sacred purpose.
If you are seeking a more fulfilling way to be on this planet and longing for a soulful path of living, the Shamanic Breathwork process can guide you there. By using your breath in a powerful and transformative way, you can move be-yond the ego long enough to reach your core self and engage in a highly intui-tive connection to your inner teacher, or higher self, also known as your wisdom keeper.
This inner place of wisdom has all the solutions, guid-ance and answers that can’t be found anywhere else. I often refer to this inner healer and wisdom keeper as “the shaman within.” When you awaken the shaman within, you begin to walk and act in empowered ways in the world.
Shamanic Breathwork is a safe and powerful healing process that uses the breath, chakra-attuned music, focused bodywork, art and group shar-ing to help individuals con-nect to their own inner healer/shaman, heal wounds and release blockages, get clarity about next right actions, and step into a life of power, passion and purpose. As old wounds and dysfunctional pat-terns are released and transformed, indi-viduals begin to regain lost soul parts and remember the magic of who they truly are. Empowerment brings wholeness and healing back into their lives, to the lives of those they love and to the world at large.
This process is highly experiential and the wisdom and healing gained comes from each individual’s inner experi-ence. Shamanic Breathwork honors and blends the timeless wisdom of ancient shamanic traditions with cutting-edge psycho-spiritual methods of healing and teaching. It functions as a rainbow bridge, honoring the best of both worlds while creating a new paradigm for body, mind, heart and spirit.
In the past, and still in some remote areas, the shaman was sought out much as a physician, counselor or minister is
today. In the shamanic tradition of old, the healer/shaman attempted to restore healing and balance to others by perform-ing sacred rites or ceremonies which usu-ally included prayers, songs and chants. They would also journey into other realms while being assisted by power animals, spirit guides and allies. Shamanic Breathwork differs in that it is aimed at awakening the inner shamanic healer in individuals undergoing the process.
Shamanic Breathwork begins by es-tablishing sacred space through various rituals such as smudging with sage while offering prayerful invocations. Individu-als lie down and focus on surrendering to the healer/shaman within, calling upon

that which is most sacred and holy to them, such as guides, power animals and higher power. The drumming then begins, leading into a powerful musical journey varying in length from one to two hours. As the individual uses the power of deep connected breathing to create a natural altered dreamlike state, the ego defenses are released and the journey unfolds.
Each person’s shamanic journey is a highly individualized process and no two are ever the same. Some of the states of consciousness reported range from divine, otherworldly bliss states to the struggle to be released from negative forces in the psyche. Rebirthing is a common oc-currence, as is the life review where one relives or observes their lifetime experi-ences. Old patterns of dysfunction may be brought to the surface. Addictions are sometimes healed during this process, and feelings of grief, fear, rage and anxiety may be released.
After the process, each person creates a mandala, which is an art piece that helps the journeyer to begin to integrate the journey. Then all participants come back together to share their journeys and receive suggestions from the Shamanic Breathwork facilitator on ways to inte-grate the wisdom they have accessed into their everyday lives.
Anyone can go on a journey and see many of interesting things. Taking what you experience back into your life in a grounded way helps you make the shift from an ego agenda to your true soul purpose.

Whether you want to reduce anxiety, boost your immunity or just chill out, the ancient hands-on healing
art known as Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) can eas-ily harmonize the life energy in your body with the touch of your fingers.
With the fast-paced and stressed-out lives most of us are leading these days, it has become second nature to treat aches and pains with a pill. If only people knew more about how these problems started in the first place, they’d learn that a lot of their discomforts could be easily healed on their own.
Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient Japanese healing art, is just that — a simple and effective hands-on practice that anyone can do on themselves to induce relaxation and reduce the effects of stress with just a little bit of knowledge. Literally translated, Jyutsu means art, Shin means creator, and Jin means compassionate man. And so it is: The creator’s art through compassion-ate man.
While it’s not widely known to West-erners, JSJ is similar to acupressure and works with a set of 26 points (called safety
tional healing methods and also teaches you how to restore your own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being with various techniques you can do anywhere, anytime.
Here are some easy JSJ techniques:• To calm the nerves, simply hold the
last three fingers of your hand, either side. This is the reason people wring their hands when nervous. Jin Shin is part of our innate wisdom so we are
Can Swearing Help with Pain?
It’s not uncommon to let loose a string of blue smoke when you stub your toe on a table leg. Cover your ears — research-
ers have actually found that swearing helps you to cope with pain.
In studies conducted by Keele Univer-sity in England, 64 volunteers were asked to submerge their hand in a tub of ice wa-ter for as long as possible while repeating a swear word of their choice. They were then asked to repeat the experiment, this time using a more commonplace word that they would use to describe a table.
Researchers initially thought that swearing would exaggerate the severity of the pain. Despite their expectations, they found that the volunteers were able to keep their hands submerged in the ice water for a longer period of time when repeating the swear word, establishing a link between swearing and an increase in pain tolerance.
While it isn’t clear how or why this link exists, researchers believe that the pain-lessening effect occurs because swear-ing triggers our natural fight-or-flight response, which downplays weakness in favor of pain-tolerant machismo.
The next time you stub your toe, know that verbally embracing your shadow may help you to cope with pain.

energy locks) along the energy pathways of the body.
When a pathway becomes blocked, ener-gy stagnates. This initially affects the local area of stagnation, but has the potential to create imbalance along the entire pathway. The 26 energy locks are the locations on the body where energy tends to become stuck. Acupressurists and acupuncturists, by comparison, learn over 300 points.
JSJ is a valuable complement to conven-
practicing it all the time unknowingly. Simply holding those last three fingers together is far more effective. Do this when sitting in the dentist’s chair, in meetings or doing interviews.
• To energize and revitalize the body when tired, simply sit on your hands, palms up, for 10 minutes. This can also be done laying down. As a bonus, sit-ting on your hands also helps reduce cellulite.
• For indigestion, gas and stomach aches, simply hold your thumbs, one at a time. If you are someone who tends to worry a lot, holding the thumbs also takes away worry.
• For cancer prevention and to help the immune system, place the fingers of both hands on the sternum (breast bone located in center of your chest). Do this for a few minutes daily.

A L T E R N A T I V E H E A L T H
The sacral chakra, nestled in the region of the lower belly, yokes us to the water element and its eternal state of move-
ment and dynamic change. It is the hub of creative potential.
Our sacral chakra assists us in wielding and manifesting our internal raw creativity into an external form involving visual arts, body expression and sound. Artists, paint-ers, musicians and creators are examples of those in touch with their sacral chakra.
Food and eating represent a functional,
and physiological properties of flaxseed fit the needs of the sacral chakra, which over-sees the reproductive organs in women and the colon. The benefits can extend into the territory of the neighboring root chakra by protecting against prostate cancer.
Tropical Fruits When allowed to blossom, the sacral chakra fills and soothes us with delight, joy, relaxation, plea-sure and free-dom of choice. It resonates to fruits grown in tropi-cal areas, as they embody these same qualities. Mangoes, pineapple, pa-paya, banana (also connects to the solar plexus), oranges, kiwi, figs and coconut are superb examples of nourishing sacral chakra tropical fruits. Eating these fruits enables us to open our inner self to feeling free and relaxed. Coconut and its oil are particularly appropriate for this energetic vibration. Coconut can heal and strengthen the bridge between the two lower chakras. It’s a sturdy fruit with a strong protective layer, paralleling the root chakra’s boundaries. It is filled with nour-ishing milk and soft flesh, both which assist the sacral chakra in feeling comfort to open up. Raw coconut butter is a tasty, root-sacral chakra treat.
NutsSimilar to coconut, all nuts have quali-ties that strength-en the lower two chakras. The oils in the nuts com-bined with protein make for a perfect food for combin-ing grounding (root chakra) and flow-ing (sacral chakra) qualities. Cashews are an excellent choice for the sacral chakra. Note their moonlike structure, resonating with the yin, or feminine quality, of the sacral chakra. Walnuts resemble the complicated brain structure and are, indeed, one of the richest nut sources of omega-3 fats, which are needed for the brain. Almonds, pecans, filberts, hazelnuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, pine nuts and macadamia nuts are other fine nut choices to support the sacral and root chakras.
Orange-Colored Foods The healthy sacral chakra vibrates at a fre-quency similar to the color orange. Viewing or eating orange-colored foods can help to restore the sacral chakra to its correct
vibration. On a nutri-
tional level, most of these orange foods collectively provide beta-carotene (an orange pig-m e n t ) a n d other plant carotenoids. They are ab-sorbed into our bodies
with the assistance of fat as a carrier and stored in the cell membranes, where they take on the job of protecting the cell.
Sacral Food and Eating Activities Here are simple activities to create a healthy relationship between foods, eating and the sacral chakra. • Combine food and creativity in any way
you choose, ranging from meal prepara-tion to a unique way to shop at the gro-cery store (for example, shopping only

survival-based activity, and one of the ways to ensure that we eat is to involve the sensory aspects of our physical body. When we eat, we eat with all of our senses: our sight, touch, taste, smell and sound. Our physiology and our sacral chakra are designed to ensure that we gain pleasure from our eating experience.
There are specific compounds (peptides) released in the gut when we eat a meal that communicate with our brain to help our body decipher that we are experiencing pleasure from the experience. Recently, it has come to light that we have taste recep-tors in our gut similar to those found on our tongue, so we taste food beyond the mouth, even in the territory of the sacral chakra.
Overall, this chakra is strongly and tightly woven into our eating experience at a deep, gut, sensory level. Rather than for pure survival, we look to the food for pleasure with the help of our sacral chakra.
Foods for the Sacral ChakraSeedsSeeds like flax, poppy, psyllium, pumpkin, hemp, sesame and sunflower are therapeu-tic for the sacral chakra due to their rich source of healthy fats. Flaxseed deserves special mention because it is a healing food for the sacral chakra from a couple of perspectives. First of all, it contains oil rich in unsaturated essential fats. Although not as flexible and fluid as the fats found in fish, flaxseed oil can be used in the body to create flow.
The other aspect of flaxseed is that it is rich in plant compounds called lignans, which act like weak estrogens and are able to compete with estrogen in the body to sit on receptor sites on cells. If the body has too much or too little estrogen, having plant estrogens like flax in the diet could be beneficial. Because of their ability to influ-ence estrogen activity in the body, they are thought to reduce the risk of breast, pros-tate and colon cancers. Thus, the energetic
for orange foods) to a novel way to grow food (such as using hydroponics, or the water element, which is conducive to the sacral chakra). Write about your creation and share it with another.
• Invite someone over for dinner and create a meal together.
• Pick an emotion that plagues your daily life and journal on how you better ex-press this emotion throughout your life in a healthy way. How do you “eat” this emotion rather than expressing it? What foods do you gravitate toward when you feel this emotion? What do these foods signify?

Cortney Kane developed her gifts as a seer through her artistic skills. While paint-ing, Cortney began receiving messages through her work. She realized that by connecting with people’s energy and the energy on the other side of the veil, she could accurately bring messages forth. Her paintings are filled with color, energy and deeply personal messages.Here are recent readings and paintings for clients seeking help with career, relationship and family issues.
Career GrowthStephanie was worried about her career path and needed some direction. She had been in the radio business and it wasn’t working out.
Here’s the message that came through:There is a battle of peace within you. You
are and have been fighting tooth and nail for what you want. You have had the path laid before you and you will conquer it.
Change is coming to you. You are correct to think large scale. I see a large event. You are the director. This is something different than what is out there. This is your event and it will be successful. Follow and trust your knowing.
The colors in your painting are very interesting. The purple background is showing determination and fight. Your being is made up of a blue energy, which means communication. The yellow at the top right of the painting represents your guides standing by, waiting to be called on, and the yellow to the left of the painting represents your ancestors. You can see that they are much more present in your paint-ing than your guides. This is because you are calling on your ancestors more. The fuchsia around your painting represents
frustration. However, surrounding the frustration is light, which means you can and will let it go.
While painting, physically I was picking up on tightness in the chest, particularly on the left side, making it hard to breathe. This energy of anxiety is also in your heart chakra. I would suggest clearing your chakras regularly.
Relationship WorriesSteven was feeling very anxious about his relationship, and wondering what to do next. Here’s a vision and message:
A thunderstorm is ahead within your relationship. Stop, be still, the light is lead-ing you and coming through to lighten you and the situation. By remaining calm, the situation will pass very quickly. This is showing up in your painting as the red energy. This is a tense and unforgiving energy. Thank the energy for being in your space, accept it and give the energy permission to leave your energy field. This energy has served you and can now be released if you choose.
I am picking up on a white golden light to the left of your being. This is a
very strong guide coming through to you. He is your master guide. He has been with you since the begin-ning and many lifetimes before. I am also picking up father energy, which is very protective. This shows in your painting as the yellow and white light behind your being.
The blue in your painting is healing en-ergy and you are a natural healer. I see you touching people and they feel immediate relief. Your hands are a healing tool.
Financial SecurityLaura was recently promoted at her com-pany. She wondered if the new position would be a positive move toward financial security.
Here is her message:Financially, this new position will fulfill
Cortney Kane
Left to right: career growth, relationship worries, financial security.
your financial needs, but it’s not your dream job. This is not your passion.
You have a strong interest in the meta-physical and spiritual world. You also have the ability to connect with people who have passed on. You are a medium. Meditation can help you deepen your connection with your guides and your medium abilities.
In your painting, the green within your being represents the financial security this new position gives you. The yellow surrounding your being represents your guide standing behind you, almost engulf-ing you in his being. He is waiting to be called upon. Ask for assistance. The yellow round orbs represent the beings from the other side with which you are able to con-nect. By deepening your connection with your guides, you will be deepening your abilities to connect as a medium.

to change as well. Rethink the inner and outer structures you need to feel secure, and reconfigure your foundation. Daily spiritual practices help you feel connected with source and deepen your faith as you take practical steps toward becoming more of who you are.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22) Old projects need to be completed or redone before you can move forward in your work. Rethink-
ing sales and marketing strategies is also on the agenda — reconnect with former colleagues to gain new ideas for creative solutions. Your mind is especially power-ful right now, and you can harness this power to plant seeds for future creative expansion. Release negative thought pat-terns that undermine your success.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21) You’re feeling inspired to give your gifts to the world in a big-
ger and more powerful way. The more you clarify who you are and what you have to offer, the easier it will be to attract allies who support you in living your dreams. Turning your home into a spiritual sanctu-ary helps you strengthen your connection with source and expand your foundation of faith.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) Rethink the systems and structures that support you in expressing your
authentic self. You’re ready to shed some more layers, allowing more of your light to shine through. As the fear of change arises, stay focused on your long-term goals. Keep taking small, concrete steps in the direction of your dreams. Doors open when you quiet your mind enough to listen to the voice of your intuition.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 19) Avert potential relationship
drama by taking the initiative to clear up past issues with friends and partners. The people in your life may need some time to adjust to the expansion you’ve experienced over the past year — practice patience. The new year brings opportuni-ties to increase your financial foundation. Let yourself dream big, expand your sense of what’s possible and take risks based on your intuitive knowing.
Pisces (February 20 - March 20) Jupiter in your own sign signi-fies a year of expansion, risk-
taking and increased confidence. To support this expansion, you may need to restructure your commitments to groups, friends, and intimate or financial partners. Review and improve your self-care habits — changes in diet or exercise can help heal an old health issue. You can also increase your well-being by including more of what you love in your daily schedule.

Personal Sun and Ascendant Messages
Aries (March 21 - April 19) The retrograde motion of Mars,
your ruling planet, directs your attention inward to reconnect with your heart’s desires and reconsider your goals. You’re ready for a new start in your professional life that brings you into greater alignment with your passion. Explore your options and start planting seeds now, but wait until your birthday to take action. Patience will be rewarded.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Your assignment is to develop
consistent daily practices that build your sense of security, trust and well-being. It doesn’t matter what the practice is — yoga, meditation, walking, writing in a journal — what’s important is com-mitting to a realistic plan and following through. Taking control of your everyday experience in this way helps you release self-limiting beliefs and open to more empowering possibilities.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) This is a year of professional ex-pansion, when your work is ready
to blossom. Instead of taking more control to make it happen, your job is to surrender and open to the flow of abundance that wants to come through you. Intimate, business and creative partnerships need to be restructured at a deep level. Trust that by releasing what is stagnant, you are creating a stronger foundation for success.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) In order to strengthen your base of support, you need to become
aware of the elements of the past that truly nourish you, and what you’re hold-ing on to out of fear. Identify and let go of habitual patterns that no longer serve you. This foundational work opens the door to a significant new relationship beginning — whether a new partnership or a new way of being in partnership.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) The relationship between your men-tal state and your ability to meet the
moments of your life in an empowered way comes into greater focus. Consider establishing a new meditation practice (or deepening an existing one) to cultivate a sense of balance and peace of mind. Mars retrograde in your own sign calls for less outward action and more quiet time to listen to the wisdom of your heart.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You’re setting the stage for a creative rebirth, while simultane-
ously fortifying your financial base. Trust that expressing yourself authentically will lead to greater prosperity. Rethink your creative life — how can you establish more structure and discipline without being overly controlling and restricting the flow? New allies and collaborators are ready to assist you. Get clear about what you need, and open to receiving support.
Libra (September 23 - October 23) Saturn in your own sign signi-
fies that it’s time to reinvent yourself. Your home, family and support systems have
STARSCOPEFacing the Fear of Change in January and February The cosmic headline is Saturn’s square to Pluto on Jan. 31, intensifying a wave of accelerated growth and change that continues for the next few years. The meeting of these planets asks: What needs to die to make space for new growth? With Saturn now in Libra, relationships of all kinds are particularly ripe for change.
Even when you know you’re moving in the right direction, letting go of the old and embracing the new often stirs up fear, anxiety and insecurity. One of the big lessons of this time is trust — trusting that it’s safe to act on your feelings and inner knowing. Fortunately, Jupiter’s move into Pisces on Jan. 17 helps to deepen your connection with your intuition and expand your faith in the universe.

Emily Trinkaus
A. That’s a perfect question. That’s exactly where one begins. Question
the value of being so busy. There comes a time in a stress-filled life when we have to question the manner in which we have or-ganized our values. When people are dy-ing, they realize their values are screwed up. You can’t wait to realize that you have placed your values in the wrong basket. This idea of “I don’t have time because my life is so busy, so busy, so busy” means that you are living in a panic attack.
Q. How can you stop living in a panic attack?
A. Take responsibility for how you talk to yourself, for the data with which
you fill yourself. You may realize that you are constantly filling yourself with panic attack data. For example, “What if I don’t have enough? What are they saying about me?” At some point, you can no longer discern truth from what is a toxic waste dump.
This is not a way to live.
Q. Do you think there are other soci-eties that are doing a better job of
keeping their “soul values?”
A. We have so much to learn from in-digenous people. They know they
are a humble co-species with the Earth’s environment. They know the trees are tall brothers and others. In the West, the so-called age of enlightenment was when we detached what animated the soul and put all our eggs in the reasoning basket. We started on the journey to being unreason-able. We detached from the ability to intuit our world. Yet we thought that we were becoming reasonable. That’s when we de-cided that if something could not reason, it had no value. That led us to where we are now. If nature can’t reason, if animals can’t reason, they have no value.
That gave us permission to become the people we are now.
Q. Who are we now?
Myss, from page 1 A. Since World War II, we have become “stuffologists.” It has become a sign
of intelligence to acquire stuff. We have come to believe that the more stuff you have, the more intelligent you are. When I was growing up, my parents would say, “Your grandparents sacrificed a lot. We knew what it was to sacrifice.” You have to work for what you want. That word was removed from our culture these last 20 or 30 years. The idea that you have to exchange something of value for some-thing of greater value has been removed.
Q. When did this happen?
A. Remember Mother Russia and Uncle Sam, the bad marriage of the 20th
century? We grew up with this sense that this was the way it was. We had an illu-sion that the environment was a source of abundance that goes on forever. But nothing goes on forever.
Q. What can we learn from this?
A. We have to go beyond our sense of reason now. You can’t reason with
a crisis. You can’t reason through a great many things. We have to rely on mysti-cal consciousness. We have to rely on intuitive reasoning. It’s not an either/or. Intuition and intellectual resources are a partnership.
Q. On a daily basis?
A. Discover the power of your soul. Introduce reflection into your life.
This is not about magic and getting what you want by clicking your heels. This is entirely different. Begin your journey of going inside. Discover that you have within you the power to defy gravity.

Practical Solutions that WorkSuzie Wolfer LCSW • 24 years experience
Regressive hypnosis puts you in touch with the subconscious and unconscious parts of your being to allow safe and gentle healing to take place. It is a highly effective method
to overcome fears and phobias, and to process sensitive emotional issues. While addressing and realigning your core beliefs, you will literally
create a new reality for yourself. These sessions can be powerful, informative and healing for the mind, body and soul.
Sean also specializes in celestial (extraterrestrial) contact. If you want to learn more about why you are fascinated with celestial beings and interaction with them, regressions are an effective way to gain insight.

asserts herself into the arena of more in-fluence by becoming more aggressive in wanting her share of the global pie.
Israeli aggressiveness is likely to stir up an old pact between Russia and Iran. Turkey is also very assertive in the region, adding fuel to the already unstable fire. The U.S.-Israeli alliance covets a run at Iran, setting the stage of a potential prelude eerily similar to the biblical scenario for Armageddon. The India-Pakistani tension also is inflamed by the intrusion of external powers and their own differences.

2010 Tarot ReadingShon Clark
As we look ahead to 2010, what will we find? To an-
swer this question, I turned to the tarot and laid out a simple three-card spread, asking “What will 2010 bring us and how can we make the best of the year to come?”
and hidden secrets continues to bring new surprises into the media. This same energy brings new inventions in diseases of the heart, natural energy and faster everything.
The phrase “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” does not apply in 2010. Be willing to release old beliefs and behav-iors and trust that you are being divinely guided to your highest good.

2010 by the NumbersLynn Buess
The number for the universal year 2010 is 3 (2 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 3). The universal 3 year places emphasis on creativity,
entertainment, communications, extrava-gance, carelessness and overdoing. On the personal level, 3 emphasizes the full range of human feelings and emotions,
from the highest of cosmic connection to the lowest levels of fear, abuse and despair.
On the spiritual side, the number of people who experi-ence direct knowing and cosmic influx
increases dramatically this year. It is a time that the voices of angels can be heard and the most sublime of higher divine laws are given to humankind, often through the most humble and innocent of souls. More people (often children) come for-ward now manifesting the most pure gifts of voice, song, poetry, verse, dance, art and sculpture that reveal new ranges of frequency and elevation of vibration. New archetypes appear in the most unexpected of places. In some quarters, crop circles are decoded and the messages for humankind are revealed.
As knowledge of available alternative energy resources reach public knowledge, an outcry comes for more investigation of true resources such as the free energy machines, anti-gravity devices and time altering gateways. These deeply hidden technologies would make fossil fuel ap-paratuses obsolete and eliminate them from the pollution cycle.
Chinese political, economic, military and social expansionism is evident throughout the planet at this time. Her increased presence in Africa and South America along with her thrust into space and increased cyber warfare further underline her intent to be the big player on the block. Tension grows with other powers and confrontations become nearer.
Russia also continues to flex her mili-tary, political and social influences, bring-ing back a posture similar to that during the Cold War. There is the likelihood of a power play at the top, which will bring a more conservative, proud and protective leadership back into the limelight.
South American and Central American countries continue their drift into the East-ern sphere of influence, which throws the geopolitical balance into a tizzy. Mexico
Did it Happen in 2009? A Look Back at Last Year’s Predictions
Prediction: Pakistan continues to be one of the largest terrorist threats in the world.
Reality: A report released by the 9/11 Commission in October 2009 stated that Pakistan is the biggest threat when it comes to terrorism. The increasingly bold attacks on well-guarded military, police and UN targets indicate that the Taliban, al-Qaeda and other militant groups within Pakistan are a growing threat.
Prediction: Nuclear and wave-driven power methods will be-come important.
Reality: Oregon State Universi-ty’s Wave Energy Studies depart-ment received a multi-million dollar federal grant to develop and install ocean buoys off the Oregon coast to further study how to gather energy generated by the ocean.
Prediction: The public will hear about plans to build on Mars.
Reality: No, but NASA shot a missile into the moon and found evidence of water in the lunar surface.

The deck answered with cards for the Ace of Disks, the Lovers and the Hermit.
Ace of DisksT h i s i s t h e principal card of new begin-nings. As such, everything is up for renewal and rebirth. It is time for us
to imagine what is possible and to let go of what is out of date. This can be a challenge because we are creatures of habit. However, we must keep in mind that with change comes the opportu-nity to experience the magic of newness and vibrancy.
LoversThis card represents the marriage of our inner and outer selves. It is a blessed time when our heads and our hearts can come together to accomplish great things. The great changes of the past few years have opened us up to a time of balanced har-mony. This is not to say that the coming year will be lacking in change, but we will be more able to meet the changes in the best possible light.
HermitThis card represents the need for us to turn our attention inward and to allow the distractions of the outer world to at-tend to themselves. This does not mean ignoring worldly issues, only that we need to find time for introspection and self-examination. We are in a great need to find our center and to anchor into our-selves in our deep truth. The only way that this can be done is with personal time to process and reflect.
Pulling it all together, the coming year is full of quick and profound changes. We will have incredible opportunities for growth because our inner and outer selves are coming into alignment with one another. We must focus our attention inward and listen to our deep truth, taking time to process these changes. This is the key to our success.

If you feel tired from carrying around old patterns, try breathing in red and
breathing out green. Then reverse the process and breathe in green and breathe out
red. Your energy field will take on whatever it needs and create balance for you.

Dangerous Scents
Fragrances today are not just simple plant-based odors. Many scents are made by chemical laboratories, com-
bining several hundred chemicals to make a fragrance.
Research has found that synthetic fragrances can cause many health problems, including respiratory irritations, im-mune system damage, blood pressure changes, impaired concentration, headaches, diz-ziness and dermatitis.
How could something that smells so sweet lead to so many health problems? Ap-proximately 85 percent of fragrances have been synthe-sized from petroleum and are neurotoxic. A few of the com-monly found harmful chemi-cals in fragranced products are acetone, benzene, phenol, toluene, benzyl acetate and limonene.
“Our skin is highly permeable,” says Dr. Samuel Epstein, author of Toxic Beauty. “Less than one-tenth of an inch thick, skin is a porous membrane that is highly sensitive to toxic chemicals. What we put on our skin affects our health just as much, if not more, than what we put in our mouths.”
Harsh chemicals can exist even in a product that claims to be natural or unscented. Some toxic ingredients “ille-gally remain unlabeled,” says Epstein. “Of particular con-cern are hormonal phthalates, and synthetic ‘aroma boost-ers’ which strongly intensify organic fragrances.”
Instead, look for products that are labeled as 100 per-cent fragrance-free, including products from Aubrey Organ-ics, Alba Botanica and Kiss My Face.

Growing Your Inner Light: A Guide to Independent Spiritual Practice, Lara Owen, Atria Books/Beyond Words Publishing, 2009, $14
In Growing Your In-ner Light, Lara Owen “gives readers the free-
dom to integrate from different traditions — and develop new ones — in order to create their own spiritual tradition.” Owen does not suggest that you leave your current beliefs behind, but gives you the tools in a step-by-step process to enhance your inner light. This guide is packed with so much valuable informa-tion that you could feel overwhelmed, but Owen asks that you spend a month on each of the 13 lessons covered in the book. It’s well worth the time to develop your giving spirit. As Owen says, “Noth-ing really counts until we give it back. We don’t know fully that we have integrated anything until the urge to share it comes over us, and we give freely of ourselves, fully entering the stream of life.”

How Philosophy Can Save Your Life: 10 Ideas that Matter Most, Marietta McCarty, Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin, 2009, $14.95
Philosophy under-lies how we think, what we believe, who we are. Marietta Mc-
Carty, who teaches philosophy at a com-munity college in Virginia, has come up with 10 areas where philosophy helps us live fulfilling lives: simplicity, com-munication, perspective, flexibility, em-pathy, individuality, belonging, serenity, possibility and joy. For each of them she chooses two philosophers’ work, pairing the famous (the Dalai Lama and Martin Luther King Jr. on empathy, for example) along with the unfamiliar or surprising (Shunryu Suzuki and Jane Addams on joy).
But the real strength of the book is in the “homework,” extensive exercises, sugges-tions and questions for personal growth and group discussion. They encompass music, literature, experience and thought in exhilarating, far-ranging combinations. “Flexibility,” for instance, contrasts “Old Man River” from Show Boat with the Moldau by Bedrich Smetana while also invoking David Bowie, John Cage, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Chubby Checker, Enya, Haydn and seven others — and that is just the music. Also cited are works of poetry, prose, drama and documentary. This book could keep you exploring your personal path for years.

Writing the Divine: How to Use Channeling for Soul Growth & Healing, Sara Wiseman, Llewellyn, 2009, $16.95
In Writing the Divine, Sara Wiseman demys-tifies the channeling process, making a sa-
cred act simple. With wit and delightful
humor, she shares practical tools for connecting with the divine inner voice. The book includes 33 lessons for divine guidance, channeled by Wiseman, that beauti-fully guide the reader to healing through soul journaling. The divine lessons help readers to go deeper in spiritual connection, offering compelling teachings on life and additional exercises to explore these new ideas. In one lesson, divine guides tell us that suffering and bliss are the same. They are both attachments and we choose which aspect we will experi-ence. Writing the Divine both guides and inspires readers to look at life through a divine lens.

Why Love Heals: Mind-Body-Spirit Medicine, Dean Shrock, Heartfelt Intent Publications, 2009, $17.95
Dr. Dean Shrock ex-plains and proves, in quite some detail, why love heals. Using his years of clinical experi-
ence and research, Shrock draws on a great body of information and knowledge from a wide variety of sources, including medicine, philosophy, quantum physics, mythology, psychology, spirituality and more. He synthesizes these concepts with his own ideas, adds love and has turned out one of the most important books that I have ever read. The book packs an amazing amount of information about understanding the connections between the body, mind and spirit that help create the person you are and the life you are living. Be aware of the power you actually have and conscious of the “what and how you do your life” so that you can choose to act mindfully, because your actions re-ally do affect everything in the universe. Because Shrock’s writing style is akin to a good friend talking with you, he makes these heady concepts easy to read and understand. I really loved his personal mantra: “I signed up. I show up. I shine my light.”

Daily OM: Inspirational Thoughts for a Happy, Healthy, and Fulfilling Day, Madisyn Taylor, Hay House, 2008, $15.95
Daily OM is a com-panion to Taylor ’s website, www.dailyom.com. Readers could
wade through the book’s table of con-tents, which lists each of its 150 inspi-rational thoughts on a variety of topics. Better to just open the book and start from the beginning, however. Because each message begins in the middle of each odd-numbered page, and ends on the following page, it’s easy to quickly read through the entire 300 page book. Pas-sages touch on meditation, relationships, nature and more, so there are bound to be many throughout the book that will strike a chord, and help readers find balance and become more consciously aware.
