"There is a difference between being victimized and being a victim. Being broke is different from being poor. One is temporary, the other is a belief."

REAL Vampires

Vampires are all the rage now. Magazines, books, movies... all are touting something or other vampirish.

Most of us in Western Washington are aware that the town of Forks out on the "west end" has been transformed from a logging town into a vampire-y tourist Mecca as a result of the filming of recent Twilight vampire movies in that locale. Souvenir shops are sprouting up on the main street in downtown Forks and vampire tours are now available. Menus in restaurants sport vampirish names for their entrees.

I recently had the diabolical idea of opening up a shop in Forks to sell things that offer protection from vampires, such as...

• Strings of garlic to wear around one's neck
• Wooden stakes to pound through a vampire's heart. Hammer included, of course.
• Mirrors to detect which of your friends are truly vampires (they have no reflection in a mirror, you know).

Although my idea was based on being humorous, protecting oneself from vampires is not a joke.

The vampires I'm referring to aren't the bloodsucking, red-eyed monsters with long, sharp fangs depicted in movies and novels. The type of vampire I'm talking about is just as real and harmful as the fictional one. This vampire will drain you of your life force so slyly that you may not even be aware of it as it happens.

They're Energy Vampires.

To protect yourself from yourself from an Energy Vampire sucking all your energy, the first and most important step is awareness: you must first recognize them. Although they have no common, outwardly visible characteristics for you to easily identify them, like long fangs or being surrounded by a flock of bats, you can easily recognize them by their behaviors.

• Chronic complainers: These Energy Vampires can drain your life force just by being near you. These people don't want to change a thing in their life. They just want you to listen to their sad stories... over and over and over. They leave you feeling depressed, dumped-on, and frustrated because no matter what you say or do, they continue in their self-defeating behaviors... and then return to you so you can listen again as they whine on about how life ain't fair and everyone's against them.
• People-users and manipulators: These vampires are so adept at getting other people to take responsibility for them and their actions that their victims typically don't realize they're being sucked dry of energy until they've been dragged down to the ground, gasping for breath. If you find yourself repeatedly doing work that's the responsibility of someone else or constantly "loaning" someone money or your car, you're being sucked dry by an Energy Vampire.
• Drama Kings and Queens, crazy-makers, and others of that ilk: These types of Energy Vampires enlarge the reality of each current event in their life until it becomes a major trauma of catastrophic proportion, thus creating small disturbances of energy. As they share with you their story, which is always accompanied by intense emotions grown into the size of a galaxy, you become drawn into the drama. As your emotional energy increases, it further fuels the vampire's energy disturbance, growing it larger and more intense. When these Energy Vampires have filled themselves up on the energy of your emotions, they happily go away, leaving you drained and exhausted.

It's important to note that most people aren't Energy Vampires all the time. Like the bloodsucking vampires of fiction, Energy Vampires typically only appear on occasion. Moreover, anyone - even you - can be an Energy Vampire if the circumstances are just right.

How can you protect yourself from an Energy Vampire... or from becoming one? Once you've identified the person and/or behavior you've got the upper hand. Now all you need do is to activate the magical power of your Personal Boundary protection.

Love,
Kathy

It's October Again

This can mean only one thing:

!

The darkness of the gloomy, cloudy, sunless days and long, long, long nights it's bringing is the sole cause of The Dreaded Winter Blahs.

The Winter Blahs are technically known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). SAD describes pretty accurately what it's like to experience how the lack of light affects us. Besides sadness, there are several additional symptoms of the Winter Blahs, such as:

• loss of energy
• craving for carbohydrates
• need for more sleep
• depression
• irrational emotions
• weight gain
• mood swings
• lowered immunity to illness

All this is caused by one thing: lack of sunlight.

The Winter Blahs aren't relegated to only those who live in Northern locales. People who live in sun-infested states such Florida, California, Nevada also suffer from SAD. In their case, it's a year-long malady. And it's caused by the same thing: lack of sunlight. They stay indoors to avoid the heat or extreme sun and wear sunglasses while outside, creating the sunless effect of winter all year long.

But don't fret! Help is just a click away! 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 my ebook...

Overcoming the Winter Blahs... Naturally!

I want to help as many people as possible who suffer from SAD. Much as I love giving in-person classes, it limits the number of people I can help to those who are able to attend the class - usually people who live nearby. So, I've compiled an ebook from my class notes plus additional comments, information, and resources.

October is the best time of year to start the protocols for optimum results in order to overcome the Winter Blahs.

Learn what you can do naturally (without prescription drugs or expensive, extended trips to a tropical country) to relieve the depression and other symptoms of the Winter Blahs.

Intuitive Tarot: The Online Course

During the years I've been teaching Tarot classes I've received requests for an online Tarot class from people who live far, far away. I was stymied as to how I could teach something as interactive as reading the Tarot without the student being right in front of me.

Finally, inspiration hit! Excitedly I gathered up all my class notes and created my new Intuitive Tarot Online Course.

BIG PLUS! As I was going through my notes to create this course, I added even more material than what was in the original class. Here's just a bit of what's covered:

• important stuff to know before you buy a Tarot deck
• how to get a better, more clear reading by asking the right question
• three quick and easy spreads for amazingly in-depth readings
• about the Minor Arcana - the suits, the people, and the numbers
• how each position of a card in a spread or layout relates to and enhances the meaning of the card
• the energy of numbers - going beyond traditional numerology
• how the Major Arcana illustrates the Journey of the Soul
• the three levels of the Major Arcana
• a simple formula for the interpretation of each card in a spread
• the importance of the only card numbered 0
• what the Death card really means

"This was an amazing class! It opened up the Tarot in a whole new way for me. It is like a light has opened up in my consciousness." - K. Hartnett, Tacoma, WA

Best of all, you'll learn the most powerful and yet easiest method for interpreting the Tarot. You'll be doing accurate, profound readings within minutes of beginning this course.

If you've been wanting to learn the Tarot, or have been struggling with the traditional methods of learning this ancient oracle, then this course is for you. Now you can learn the Tarot at your leisure... in your home... at your pace... wearing your sweats or PJs!

Essential Oil of the Month

Abundance

This oil blend was created by Gary Young to increase the attraction of financial abundance and success. It enhances the frequency of the energy field that surrounds you, creating a harmonic resonance that magnetizes to you things, people, and events that are also vibrating at a higher frequency - ala the Law of Attraction.

While focusing on financial abundance and inhaling the aroma of this oil, a new memory in the RNA template is created. The new programming directs your subconscious and conscious thought toward magnetizing monetary abundance to you.

This stuff really works!

• My husband put a drop on his forehead (third eye). Then he rubbed his hands briskly together to warm the oil left in his hands, cupped them over his nose, and took three deep breaths to send the molecules of this oil deep into his brain. The next day he got called back to work... a week early!
• Susie, a friend who owns a local cafe, was experiencing a downturn in business. I gave her a sample of Abundance oil to try and she applied a drop or two to her lower back (the location of financial support in the physical body). That day she got $120 in tips and was slammed with business!
• After these two successes, I wanted to join the party, so I put a drop on my forehead and Solar Plexus chakra. I rubbed my hands together, cupped them over my nose, and breathed deeply the rich, spicy aroma. The next day I received three orders for the Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation. By the end of the week I was swamped with more orders for the activation and other products and services.
• One of my clients, a psychic, told me that each time she wore a drop behind her ears she'd gain a new client that day.

Additional suggestions of how to use it:

• Apply a drop on the forehead (third eye)
• Place a drop on your checkbook and wallet
• Directly inhale the aroma from the bottle for fragrant influence
• Diffuse (always use a cold or misting diffuser)
• Add 2 - 4 drops to your bath water
• Wear as perfume
• Put 4 - 8 drops on a cotton ball and locate on heater vents (not on a heater where it may catch on fire)

After applying the oil, rub your hands together briskly to spread the oil on the palms of your hands and to warm it. Then cup your hands over your nose and take three to five deep breaths, bringing the molecules deep into your body.

To enhance the effects of Abundance oil, use Release first to release emotions that prevent receiving abundance. Follow with one or more of these oils: Acceptance, Believe, Envision, Into the Future, Joy, Magnify Your Purpose, Motivation, Valor.

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.
