Greetings and Salutations From Mary


The year is officially half over and the crisp fall harvest is beginning to permeate the air.  I look forward to canning fresh red tomatoes each year and making jam. I am not very domestic but this time of year makes me want to start nesting for the winter cold.  Nothing is better than fresh tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwiches on a cold evening. I make a mean salsa that turn regular chili into a masterpiece. I am the queen of canning tomatoes!!

Stow Ireland

My trip to Great Britain was fantastic.  Since my studies of Ancient and Modern Art History in Interior Design school, I have always love to immerse myself in the culture and of course the feng shui of the land to see the effect it has on people.

 

Our first day of travel involved heading right out of Heathrow airport and into the country. We spent the night in Coventry and the next day explored this little town call Stow on the Wold. I loved the old buildings right out of Charles Dickens. Look at the crooked windows.  The people in this area seem very friendly but very down to business.  It was a beautiful day in a beautiful country.

We explored many small villages and lifestyles along the back roads for the next few days. From England we went into Scotland. Once we entered into the green, green grassland and rolling hills of Scotland, there was instantly a laid back, peaceful feeling. Even though it was raining, and you all know I dislike being cold, there was a harmony in the land that made it seem so serene, even with the rain. People moved slower and were very friendly and helpful. 

 

Edinburgh Castle and the Military Tattoo

 

Ireland Military ShowI had never seen anything as breathtaking as this exhibit of Military with the bagpipes and drum line. WOW!!

 

From Scotland, we then ventured across the Irish Sea into Ireland and of course the land was also lush and green and the Irish whiskey, Guinness Beer, and Bailey’s coffee flowed in abundance. No wonder they were so happy.   People in Ireland were very friendly and do possess the gift of the Blarney.  We always visited with a local as we sipped our beverage within the many local pubs.  I truly loved Scotland and Ireland.

Blarney Castle

Blarney CastleNo, I didn’t kiss the Blarney Stone. We were told by the locals what really goes on around the stone!! So we opted out!! However, we watched many kiss it. I bought a small rock at the gift shop and sanitarily kissed it. I am not usually a germ phob but this time I did get somewhat queasy at the thought of what goes on there when no one is looking!!  My lips weren’t touching that!!!

 

 

Stonehenge with my Family

I wished we could have gotten up close and personal but this was Stonehenge Familyas good as it got. The energy around Stone Henge seemed like it was a warp time. I seemed time moved so quickly. We just got there and the time was up to leave again. SAD!! I wanted more time to just sit and meditate on the vortex that was suppose to be in the area.

 

 

After a whirlwind 12 days we ventured back to London.  Once we hit the London area there was a serious, hustle and bustle of what seemed like millions of people amongst the BIG, TALL, building and cold concrete. No place to really sit and relax outside and have a cup of tea, and take in the sites. At least, not in the area we were in. Too much movement of energy seemed to add to the stress of its inhabitants. Our tour guide actually pointed out that no one was smiling as they hustled down the crowded sidewalks. 

We stayed within the heart of London across from the Big Ben. The city is magnificent with all its history and of course the Queen.  I bought a Love Mug with Kate and Williams picture on it as my big souvenir of the trip, and of course a piece of Waterford Crystal from the factory. We got to see the guards changing at LondonBuckingham Palace as well.  The air of London, in the area where we were, was very serious, proper, and very business like.  The countryside was beautiful, but the concrete seemed to create a separation from its natural beauty Don’t get me wrong, I loved London, but I couldn’t live there.  Too many people, too much heavy architecture and too much traffic. I am more a wide open spaces-don’t fence me in type of girl. 

Buckingham Palace and waiting for the Changing of the Guards.

 

The people of Great Britain are very much like Americans and the travel through the land was easy. No language barriers, no crazy food menus-except maybe the Haggis- (sheep stomach—Google this) which I didn’t try, and a very peaceful safe place to visit made the trip memorable. I would recommend this trip to everyone. It was amazing.  I absolutely loved it.

 

Peace be with you. Love M.

Testimonial: This last year of stress I have found myself going inside and allowing myself to add some layers of protection to the tune of about 20 lbs!! EEEEKKKK!!!  As you all know, weigh is not measured in pounds but in mind burden. It doesn't matter what the numbers on the scale say, it matters how the mind is responding to it. Weight=Burden!! That is how WEIGHLESS HYPNOSISä came to be!! 

 

What is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness where the conscious and subconscious mind are focused on a certain topic or function. It is NOT a funny little man with a gold watch who can make you obey his every command. NO ONE can make you do anything you don't want to do. Hypnosis when combined with guided meditation and visualization, theta healing, and prayer, the results are enhanced.  Hypnosis accesses the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind to help you unlock your hidden talents.

The Weightless Hypnosis classes will involve class participation in discovering your personal emotional reasons for eating or not eating, time management, and reconnecting to your passion.  There will be a meditation time  & gentle body movement exercises. Come sing, dance, and learn. 

 

Reminder

I will be offering in September a FREE workshop on Weightless Hypnosis ™.

The New Normal

A New Normal: The Connected Being is the third book in the series, taking you further into the realms of spirit and intuitions. This book, to be released in the early part of 2012, encourages you to reach deeper into the depths of your mind and view the world through metaphysical eyes. It teaches you how to watch for the signs and metaphors sent from the heavens to guide you daily through your life.

A New Normal: The Connected Being features actual stories of coincidence and angelic guidance, as well as pictures of unexplained energetic activity. In the words of St. Ignatius of Loyola, “For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.”

A New Normal: The Connected Being will change the way you view your world.


Feng Shui Monthly Aspects for September

Disclaimer: These aspects are strictly the opinion, research, and observations of Mary Shurtleff and are no way to be used as fact but only insight. Use you own common sense to discover what is right for you.

This year in my Animal book I spoke of changes and upheaval in the governments and churches. Wow, have we seen some serious and enlightening changes.

I said, “The rabbit is more of a community animal. We will see people choosing up sides and tribes. People will choose a more communal type of living this year. We may see more families moving in together. “

This aspect has come to pass. People over the globes are teaming together, such as rioters in London and rebels in Libya and Egypt, to make serious changes within their living conditions.

It was predicted on page 17 of the Golden Rabbit 2011 Animal book -The lack of earth will lend to instability in home, business, government and religion, thus bringing change. This imbalance can lead to a lack of resource and weakened earth energy of the feeling of security and grounding. We may see more mental breakdowns this year due this lack. With this we have seen people break and take matters into their own hands no matter what the cost.

Last month with the #2 Black star of injury and illness coupled with the unstable #7 we saw a lot of violence in the world. We saw Somali pirates controlled by a uniting of forces from various countries and we saw Osama bin Laden stopped. We saw Muammar Gaddafi overthrown this last month as well as Hosni Mubarak thrown from power, earlier this summer. We will continue to see liberation of government from other countries as well. I pray the next stop will be a cessation of the drug cartel and their rein of terror in Mexico. Please pray for peace for Mexico, our neighbors. Mexico is a beautiful country with normally gentle people but the cartel has destroyed it with greed. Pray for its revival. Last month #2 in the center also brought about numerous earthquakes and flooding with the risk of life endangerment as predicted.

Fortunately, this month the #1 of career luck flies to the center of the ba-gua bringing with it career opportunities and prospects for success. We may see a shift in the economy this month. We may still see instabilities but these instabilities could be a clearing of the old and preparing space for the new. Place running water in the center of your home with your aspirations for the future. You may also place anything monetary in this space as well. However with the water in the center coupled with the metal #7 over earth, we may again see water in the form of Tsunami, flooding, and heavy rains.

This month, the #2 black earth star flies to the North West of the ba-gua possibly bringing with it an increase in illness of the lungs or respiratory for the male. The skin may also be affected. Use water to offset this aspect. The male this month should be careful with his health. Take no risks. Place running water and citrine stone in the Northwest for career success. Be sure to keep your running water feature clean with new prospects in money. Place your spiritual deities for help with those emotional and physical obstacles or blocks. Place the Blue Buddha or Jesus for protection from all negative forces.

The #3 of conflicts flies to the West of Rooster. The Rooster has a tendency to crow and not listen, however, this month the rooster needs to learn to listen and respond, not react. You may place a green elephant on its side in this area to help with communication skills and offset conflict. Place small amount of lighting in this area to literally illuminate the obstacles for examination. If your front door or bedroom is in this area, remember to exercise regularly to burn off that excess emotion and energy. Place a metal chime in the West to work with the clashing energy of the wood.

Place 4 bamboos in water in the North East of your home or office this month to activate the #1 career star and the #4 academic star for insight. The Ox and Tiger may see an increase in visibility such as a promotion or raise this month. For romance luck, place peonies and mandarin ducks in this area. The Ox may also wish to active the South east of its ally the Snake to cash in on his windfall luck, as well.

Place new salt water in the South of the home this month to stabilize the home or business. Keep activity low in the South this month. This month may find the Horse or a South facing home somewhat frustrated with their schedules. If your home faces the South, place a salt line at your front door to absorb negative energy. Ride out the storm, everything happens for a reason. No digging or noise making in this area. Lay low and keep quiet. Activate the ally sector of the Tiger of the Northwest for career moves this month. The Horse may feel a little withdrawn this month—ride out the storm, get your rest and eat right. Limit sugar and add sea salt in moderation. Continue to place a metal three-legged frog in the South this month to swallow the annual illness star. Angle the frog so it does not face the front door or a window.

Place 6 Chinese Coins in the North for career luck. The metal will activate the already present star of career and also downplay the #3. Place running water and coins in this area this month for windfall luck. The Rat may see increases in money and power coming to him/her. The Rat may wish to activate his ally of the Dragon in the Southeast and his secret friend the Ox of the Northeast to bring in an abundance of good luck this month.

Place water and /or the color blue in the Southwest of the home this month, especially if your front door faces this direction. Place to the left of the front door. The Southwest facing home may see some conflict and instability this month. Place salt at the front door to absorb and neutralize energy. Women may feel somewhat unstable this month in relationships. Place clear crystals in this area to stabilize feminine energy and access higher wisdom. Use water and crystals this month to stabilize.

The East of the home or business can be profitable this month for home and business and the rabbit. Place citrine stones and water in the East this month. Place a number 8 or the infinity symbol on its side in this area. The #5 is still present so clean up the salt-water adjustment in this area. However, the #8 will bring some reprieve to this area. ENJOY!!

The illumination of the #9 flies into the Southeast bringing news of victory and celebration. There is a possibly of windfall money or recognition. You may activate this area with a small illuminate or lighting. Be sure to place your 6 Chinese coins is this area. The Snake and Dragon will be very visible this month with business and personal life. With this aspect, you may feel somewhat like you are burning the candle at both ends—get your rest and eat right. Take care of yourself and set your boundaries!! Use your newfound power wisely. Don’t try to control others, allow them the freedom of their choices, as you are free as well.

Due to Labor Day there will not be a conference call this month. Sorry for any inconvenience.
