"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it, and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Hidden Wisdom in a Treasure Map

All the hullabaloo from our annual New Year's Day Treasure Map Party is over and everyone who came had a great time AND created a wonderful vision board, treasure map, goal setting poster, whatever-you-call-it.

Every treasure map was a unique creation and some brought extraordinary surprises.

• One of our neighbors brought their delightful 8 year old granddaughter who placed pictures of wild animals all over her sheet of poster paper. Her desire is for more animals on the planet. She gave me hope for a brighter future, knowing that children like this will someday be adults in positions of power.
• A dear friend chose to create her treasure map not with pictures cut from magazines, but with her own hand. She first drew her images and then colored them with her paints. She illustrated a way to have a much more personal connection to the treasure map.
• Another of our neighbors simply cut pictures from the magazines that she found attractive. What evolved was more clarity for her about what she really, truly wanted.

My treasure map is taped to the wall smack in front of my face over my computer monitor. If you're familiar with the guidelines of treasure maps you know that the more often you look at them the more quickly your visions will become reality. As I was gazing at the top two images - beautiful, black, prancing Friesian horses - I remembered my first experiences with treasure maps.

It was back in the days when I was a Realtor. Every year we had a treasure map party at the office and every year I put a picture of a Jaguar XJ on mine. And every year I didn't get my Jaguar.

After a few years of this grave disappointment I finally asked my spirit guides why I wasn't getting my dream car. After all, I'd gotten practically everything else on my treasure maps. What was the deal, anyhow?

They responded by telling me that the Jaguar had a greater significance than I realized. In truth, it represented having top quality in my life.

Wow! So that's what it was all about! It was a symbol of something I wanted in my life beyond a fancy car. That something was a value that encompassed my entire life, not just my driving experience.

As I left that memory and returned to the present time, I gazed again at my two horses. I realized that they represented more than my having a horse again. To me they symbolize beauty, freedom, that special, almost spiritual connection I enjoy with horses, and having fun. These are are qualities and life values that I want more of in my life. The horses are my symbols for them.

What do you want this upcoming year?

Now, what quality or life value does that really represent?

Love,
Kathy

Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA GROUP Activation

I've been invited to speak at the Psychic and Wellness Fair in Bellingham this month, and I've happily accepted. However, being ruled astrologically by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, I amped up the deal. I offered to do a group DNA activation and they loved the idea.

So, I'll be giving a talk at this fair on the 12 Strands of DNA, followed by a group Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation.

Group activation, like group meditations, are more powerful and profound than the singular activitiy. The collective energy of the group multiplies and intensifies the process.

If you're in the Bellingham area, come to this fair and enjoy the offerings of all the other practitioners and the amazingly powerful energy of the Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA GROUP Activation.

Pyschic and Wellness Fair
Saturday, January 22, 9am to 6pm
Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Lecture and Activation - 3:30pm
Unity of Bellingham
1095 Telegraph Rd., Bellingham, WA

• Overcoming the Winter Blahs The lack of light during the short days of winter affects us all, particularly those of us who live in the northern hemisphere. The Winter Blahs are technically known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). As a sufferer of SAD for more than 20 years, I know what works and what doesn't. And I share everything I've learned about warding off this debilitating syndrome in this class. Learn what you can do naturally (without prescription drugs or expensive trips to a tropical country) to relieve the depression and other symptoms of the Winter Blahs. Coming soon!

Whew!. But wait... there's more! Stay tuned for some new classes I've recently been inspired to create.

Essential Oil of the Month

Believe

This blend of essential oils helps to release the unlimited potential everyone possesses, making it possible to more fully experience happiness and vitality. It restores feelings of hope.

Believe™ is an uplifting blend of essential oils that has a steadying, balancing effect on emotions, helping you to overcome feelings of despair and move beyond them to a higher level of awareness. Believe™ can also provide feelings of strength and faith.

The aroma of this oil smells like the clean, fresh, pine-scented air deep in a forest. I find it very refreshing and uplifting.

It's a natural, healthy way to refresh the stale air in your house. Rather than spraying toxic chemicals around your home, add a few drops of Believe to water in a spray bottle. You'll save money and have a healthier home, too!

Additional suggestions of how to use it:

• Diffuse or put a few drops on your furnace filter.
• Add 2 - 4 drops to your bath water.
• Apply 1 - 2 drops over the heart, on wrists, neck, temples, and forehead.
• Use on VitaFlex points on the feet or along the spine Raindrop-style.
• Dilute 1:15 with vegetable oil for a full-body massage.
• Put 4-8 drops on cotton balls and place them on heat vents.
• Use as perfume or cologne.

Oils included in this blend:

• Idaho Balsam Fir opens emotional blocks and recharges vital energy. Gives a feeling of strength and inner peace. It has been shown to reduce cortisol (the "death hormone") levels in the body by 40%.
• Rosewood is high in linalool, which has a relaxing, empowering effect. It's a very grounding oil.
• Frankincense stimulates the limbic part of the brain, elevating the mind and helping to overcome stress and despair. It is used in European medicine to combat depression.

Young Living oil is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of 100% organic plants. Unlike other brands of essential oils, there are no chemicals used in the processing of the plants. Nor are there chemicals or other ingredients added to dilute or damage the natural healing properties of the oils.
