Cat's Eye Tarot Review

Cat's Eye Tarot By Debra M. Givin, DVM

This tarot card deck comes from a totally different perspective. It comes from a cat's perspective.

"Every card in Cat's Eye Tarot tells a story, illustrated from a feline point of view. The card meanings follow Rider-Waite interpretations, yet even the newcomer to tarot will be able to relate to these delightful images of cats and learn valuable lessons from them."

The intricate detail on each card helps you to unfold your own creative, emotional, earthy and intellectual energy. We feel it is a very grounding tarot card deck. Debra's experience as a vet and her love of cats comes shining through each and every card.

Now I Know By Sally Devorgine

Now I Know 
That silly hopes and fears will just make wrinkles on my face.
By Sally Devorgine

Endorsed By The Dali Lama

There's so much more to this book than meets the eye. It encompasses real life situations that happen every day in school and neighborhoods, teaching children how powerful their own thoughts are for creating positive or negative mental chatter. How their perceptions can help them work through their hopes and fears. Now I Know explores developing relationships and developing the self.


We really appreciated the value and importance of "the testing tree."
What a great way to empower children!

The timeless wisdom quoted by Geshe Langri Thangpa (1054-1123 CE), who was a Buddhist master famous in Tibet for his "8 versus of mind" training is still relevant today and a basis for the Chocolate Sauce Series.

The Crossroads Of Humanity. By Carol Lawrence


         
Humanity is at a crossroads. An unfolding of many collective layers.



       
           A cross-roads in time that will determine the fate of our species.

We are making choices right now that will determine the path of our collective future. Mother Earth is changing at a rapid rate. As she speeds up, we speed up too. Our pulse rate increases, we might become dizzy or short of breath. We are generating a large amount of heat. There are 7 billion people on planet earth right now. Many souls have chosen to be here at this time to witness and become apart of the change. Our magnetic field is lessening.

In planetary history. When the magnetic fields have lost their magnification the polls have shifted. Are the poles going to shift again. It's quite possible. To learn more about magnetics and the possibility of our poles shifting follow Gregg Braden. He is one of the leaders in this field and comes from a very open minded perspective backing his knowledge with science.

As we are leaving the “iron” age and begin transmuting and changing as we move into the “golden” or “intuition” age things are beginning to look different. Many are at this point now. Many are not. Many will leave. It's ok for each and every one to transition or change as they need to, to be able to fit in with mother's earth new plan. Mother earth is a thinking, living, breathing being. The time of living on such a wonderful being with disconnect is ending.

Humanity as a whole is waking up from a long slumber. The intuition age has arrived.

What are some of the wonderful attributes we have to look forward to in this new age that is dawning on our planet?

  • A deepening connection to our planet is unfolding.
  • More telepathy. People are going to speak more with their minds. Secrets will not be able to be hidden like they once were due to this enhanced ability by many. Many children arrive with this ability already.
  • Leading more intuitive based lives. Does this job feel right for me? Does this way of eating feel right for my body at this time? Does this way of learning benefit my child?
  • Parenting takes on a whole new role. Parents are becoming more aware of the intelligence that is right before them and realizing they are also students in life as much as their children. Prioritizing their children, building solid foundations, growing unbreakable connections and living more sustainable lives will become the focus. Life and her wonders become the teacher again.
  • A disconnect from consumerism and the need for “stuff” will be replaced with adventure, connections and deeper relationships.
  • Sustainable living that is conducive for all not just one. Boundaries are dissolving. It will become more about the we instead of the me. “If I dump this into my landfill or blast it into the air who will be effected by it?”
  • The comprehensive realization that the air we breath is shared all around the world will engulf many. What I do matters!
  • Doorways to new worlds will open. Manifesting is becoming quicker and easier with more focused thoughts and feelings.
  • Life can and will be lived fully with intent by many.

Life as we know it is changing. What kind of life will you be manifesting and co-creating for you, your family, your planet? The choice is yours.

The Intuitive Child: Extrasensory Gifts Creating An Extraordinary World By Cyndi Dale




The Intuitive Child:
Extrasensory Gifts Creating An Extraordinary World
By Cyndi Dale

I was nervous. A mom I’d never met was bringing her son to see me for an energy healing session. He was in his 20’s and had not spoken or walked in his life, ever since he had almost died during surgery when he was a year old. His mother would be carrying him in.

How was I going to figure out how to help him?

Within a few minutes, I was enamored with this young man. I could sense his kindly soul, his awareness of the life around him. And then, something special happened. It was as if his inner self reached into my mind, offering words and pictures for me to interpret.

“Why, Blaine!” I cried out. “You remember heaven! You want this information shared with the world,” I added. “Is it through a book?”

He laughed. He LAUGHED, before nodding his head.

Blaine was communicating with me intuitively, intuition his main way of interacting with the world.

Many of Blaine’s five senses weren’t functional enough for him to communicate with others, but his sixth sense was. In working with him, I figured out he was able to sense others’ feelings and needs, send healing to the ill, and touch the hems of angelic garments. He could read what others’ needed and felt frustrated because he was all-too often not understood.

All children are equipped with a sixth sense; they simply don’t need to rely on it as completely as does Blaine. Having said that, why wouldn’t we want to afford our children full and safe access to their sixth sense, the ability to reach beyond the ordinary five senses? To help our children access these gifts wisely is to activate an internal GPS, one that can provide direction, revelation, comfort, and healing. As extra-ordinary as is the sixth sense, it can be the most practical sense of all.

There are three main considerations involved in guiding our children into their sixth sense. The first is deciphering a child’s strongest gift so you can customize a fun and exciting development process. The second is safety. Intuition involves receiving and sending psychic information. Without filters, we don’t know if we’re working with valid or invalid, helpful or harmful information. The third deliberation is to slowly and enjoyably invite children to actively engage the world via their specific intuitive gifts, making sure they are always comfortable with the process.

There are actually twelve different types of intuitive gifts, which can be divided into four main categories. The simplest way to figure out a child’s gifts is to ask him or her which of the following four descriptions best describes how they know what’s happening inside and outside of themselves. (I have written these descriptions in such a way that you can read them to your child.)

·         Physically kinesthetic: Feeling gifts.Your body tells you what is happening in others.
