Hi Maria!
I just wanted to let you know that I started doing the LOA check in January. I must say that it's true, if you ask the universe somehow finds a way. I was kind of tight on cash and worried I would be short but then I got money deposited in my account that I didn't expect until a later date. It was greatly appreciated! I have my mom doing the LOA checks as well and a few other people, some aren't too readily accepting to the idea because they think it can't happen but I'm proof that when you least expect it, the LOA finds its way to you! Thank you and keep those dates coming! :)

Maria - I have been using the law of abundance dates with the special money dates you have in your moon calendar listed and they work extra fast! I also use the moon calendar to schedule my trade shows I do and every single one of them have been super successful. I also follow the new moons you suggest for starting new promotional fliers. You are a doll to share this wealth of information with everyone. I urge everyone to get a moon calendar too from you and use those dates with the check dates you give for extra luck!

Now for the Law of Abundance Dates for March

Law of Abundance Checks

Many of you who listen to our national radio show and read this newsletter have asked for the Law of Abundance dates to write your check. I had started giving out the dates in December but for those of you who do not know what this is about, I want to share more info. For the past several years, I have been giving people specific dates to write checks out to themselves, sign it from the Law of Abundance and carry the checks in their purse. I have has reports from listeners who have won $40,000, won gas cards from radio, lottery and bingo as well one listener who had a call from a lawyer who said he had a $90,000 check at his office for her! The theory behind this is that you are putting positive energy out into the universe when you write these checks on specific astrological magical days. The cosmic energy combined with your own energy helps the law of abundance work. Here's what you do again in more detail:

Take a check from an active checking account

Make it out to you

Do not date the check

Sign it the law of abundance

Do not put in a dollar amount because this limits how much the universe can bring you

Do not void the check in your bank book, just write it is for the law of abundance

Do not destroy the check unless you have closed the account Make out a new check when new dates come up.

Carry the check with you and watch what happens!

In a matter or hours, days and weeks you should see money or blessings come in! Remember prosperity it doesn't always mean cash in hand.

Here are the dates for March to write your checks.... March 1-3, 5-8, 27-31

Important! If you get extra money, I believe you should give some back to the universe. If you do not, the universe will stop giving to you. I suggest 10% to charity, church, someone in need..pay it forward. It is not enough to give the money to your immediate family members but to someone in need.

Presenting: "Lightening Up"

We – the planet and each one of us – are going through a transition on our way to a new age of enlightenment. We are in the process of re-membering who we are. Using my own journey, probably best described as a man dancing through life with army boots on, we will discuss lightening up – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - what works and what doesn't.

Vonne Johnson

Indigo and Crystal Children - A look at these special children and what they are here to do on the earth plane. Some of you reading this may be an indigo child or have been blessed by giving birth to these incredible children. You have asked for this class for years, we can now bring it to you!

These were two articles that were sent to me by clients about Indigo children. I think they should be credited to the Internet.

What is an indigo Child?

As a summary, here are the ten attributes that best describe this new kind of child, the Indigo Child

They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)

They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.

Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."

They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).

They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.

They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.

They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).

They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.

They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").

They are not shy in letting you know what they need.

Indigo Children
by Debra Hegerle

("The Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. This pattern has singularly unique factors that call for parents and teachers to change their treatment and upbringing of these kids to assist them in achieving balance and harmony in their lives, and to help them avoid frustration."
-- Lee Carroll & Jan Tober)

I have a seven-year-old Indigo son. I've been working as a teacher's aide in his classrooms through preschool, kindergarten, and now first grade, and I've observed his interactions with Indigos and non-Indigos of all ages. It's been interesting! In fact, trying to put it all down in writing has been a challenge because the children do so many subtle things.

Indigos process their emotions differently than non Indigos because they have high self-esteem and strong integrity. They can read you like an open book and quickly notice and neutralize any hidden agendas or attempts to manipulate them, however subtly. In fact, they can see your hidden agendas even if you can't! They have inherently strong determination to work things through for themselves and only want outside guidance if it's presented to them with respect and within a format of true choice. They prefer to work situations out for themselves.

They come in with their intentions and gifts easily identifiable from birth. They can suck up knowledge like a sponge, especially if they like or are drawn to a subject, which makes them very advanced in their areas of interest. Experiencing life helps them learn best, so they create the experiences they need to help them with their current problem or area where they need to grow. They respond best when treated like a respected adult.

Not only are they masters at intuitively picking up on hidden agendas or motives, but they are equally masterful at turning those agendas back onto the people using them, especially their parents. Psychological "button pushing" often causes them to be labeled as nonconformists. If they notice that there is a hidden motive behind your attempt to get them to do something, they will resist strongly and feel perfectly justified in doing so. From their point of view, if you're not doing your work in the relationship, they can challenge you on it.

When I called them good "button pushers" what I really meant is that they're working with us adults to help us recognize where we are holding and using old, subtle patterns to manipulate them, which used to work but will no longer. So if you are constantly getting resistance from an Indigo, check yourself first. They may be holding up a mirror for you, or be asking you, in a nonconformist way, for help in finding new boundaries, fine-tuning their own skills or talents, or going to the next level of growth.

Indigos have innate healing abilities that are usually already active; however, they may not know that they are using them! The most spectacular thing I observed was how they formed groups, adjusting and spacing themselves, especially around another child who might have been sick or upset — sitting and blending their energy field with that child's. Most often, they paired up one on one, but sometimes they formed groups and sat in either a triangular or diamond-shaped pattern. It wasn't done in an obvious way, but very subtly. When finished, they were off to something else.

It was amazing. They just did it, but they didn't want to discuss it; in some cases, they weren't even consciously aware of what they were doing or why! It was so natural to them that if a child needed something from the Indigos, they just went and sat next to them for a while, not even necessarily talking, and then they separated.

Another interesting thing was that, off and on throughout the year, the Indigos went through periods of attracting and repelling each other, or periods of really needing each other's company and then of not needing it. I'm not totally clear on this, but it seems to coincide with individual personal development. The closeness and concern they had for each other was never lost during those periods of separation, but they wouldn't go back together, either, until all was right for them.

I'll give you one little story regarding my Indigo son. Let me give you the background: My husband and his family are Chinese Americans, and I am of German/Finnish heritage. My husband's family places great emphasis on education, and the siblings were brought up with a strong need to succeed. This still sometimes spills over onto their children, in the form of whose are better, smarter, and faster. My husband and I agree about not participating in all this competitiveness, but that doesn't stop it from happening around us. To top it off, consider that out of the five grandchildren, my son is the only boy — that is, the only male heir — and I think you'll get a pretty clear picture of the undercurrents.

We were at my in-laws' house on Christmas day, and my son, who was almost four years old at the time, was showing off his Millennium Falcon™ (a Star Wars™ toy that was meant for a six-year-old) that he had received from us that morning. It was the giant one that opens up, and inside were all kinds of little compartments, similarly but not identically shaped. He wasn't interested in that portion of the toy at that time. He was only interested in pretending to fly it and shoot the rockets — living out his fantasies. One of his uncles asked to play with it and proceeded to take all the little doors off of all the compartments. He handed them to my son in a pile and asked, "Can you put this back together?"

It was a setup! All the doors were the same color, and the differences in shape and size were very subtle. Oh, and the tone of voice he used — like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. This uncle has three daughters and a whole lot of personal agendas, so his actions were not a total surprise, but . . . I absolutely love what happened next.

I started to intervene, and my son turned and looked me, dead in the eye, with a look on his face I'll never forget. He looked at me to see what I was going to do, and in the instant that it took for him to read my intentions, which were of Mommy Lioness — I'm not going to let this happen to my son — he responded just as quickly. He gave me a look that said, Back off, Mom, I'm taking this one on myself, and I felt the energy shift as he took command of the entire room. Everyone stopped talking and turned to look over at him. He calmly said to his uncle, "I don't know. I've never done that before; let me see." Then he proceeded to put that thing back together quickly and accurately!

When he was done, the energy shifted again, and he looked over at me as if to ask, "Was that okay?" I just smiled and said, "Good job." Everyone there caught the double meaning, including his uncle, who has never since done anything like that to my son or to anyone else's child in our presence.

No direct comments were made that night about the situation. We all just knew that we were each going to process it individually and privately, each getting our own lesson — all because this little one decided to learn for himself.

Indigos are born masters — each and every one! We have to understand that they fully expect every one of us to do what they are doing naturally, and if we don't, they keep pushing our buttons until we get it right — that is, until we become the masters of our own lives. So when my son did his thing, he taught everyone there a quiet lesson, including himself.

For me, the lesson was, let him go; despite his age, he is capable. Stay aware and watch the process. The process in this case was very interesting. He quickly and accurately sized up the situation, and determined his response based on what he wanted to experience. After making sure he had backup, he chose to confront the person directly, and at that point, he immediately called up all the energies necessary to complete the task. Afterward, he released it all back just as quickly and went back to his own business.

I've witnessed many similar situations that he or other Indigos handled in the same way. They will size up a situation and then choose their actions based on what they want to experience at the time. The only adjustments to this pattern that I've seen were based on what type of backup they had. In a safe environment, they have consistently used this pattern.

Safety is very important, because all children need to feel safe to fully explore their universe. For Indigos, safety means that it's okay to do things differently! Giving everyone this space is the best thing we can do for children and for ourselves.

I will be on WWL in New Orleans this week and be sure to tune in to the Maria Shaw Show as we broadcast live from the Big Easy this Friday 6p-8p EST on CBS Psychic Radio.

Have a wonderful week and Happy Mardi Gras everyone! Maria
