Nice Letters We Get

Maria,

I want to thank you for everything you do for us.

The amount of positive energy you charge us with is amazing. For the days that are hard to get by - you provide hope - you keep us going -
we could not do it with out you. You are our "Angel"
Claudia

Maria – Thanks for a great show in Minneapolis. It was super! I wanted to thank you for making up the law of abundance pouches for me and my daughters. They were very special and we are carrying them with us everyday!
Jean

Dear Maria;
I purchased the selenite candle holder at your last fair and was amazed how quickly it worked on my insomnia! I did as you suggested in your lecture and lit the candle. Within a few minutes a relaxed feeling overtook me and my room seemed to be less heavy and filling with very soothing energy. I was able to sleep for five hours straight which is a record for me. I usually get up every two hours. I also was able to go back to sleep when I lit the candle again and slept until 8:40a.m. Thank you for introducing us to the selenite.
Marie

Editor's Note: At this writing, Maria has 15 candle holders of Selenite left to order. Contact her if you would like one. She also has the selenite pieces too.

Maria,
It was great to see you and all the terrific people in Rosedale. I wished that I had taken a longer weekend so that I could experience more. Thank you so much for taking a picture with me and my sister and her daughter. They gave up a paid for beading class (we were supposed to leave at noon!) but even Cassie was having such a good experience(she's 11) and was so open and enjoying herself. Thanks for making experiences like this accessible to people; and that thanks is also to all the great pyschics and healers that were there.
Hope to see you all again soon,
Fran

Spiritual Change
By Maria Shaw

For many years, I always heard through reading books and listening to lectures that when the end of the Mayan Calendar came in 2012, we would all be changed in a dramatic way and grow more spiritual. I was greatly curious as to what would happen and how we would respond to the new energies the earth plane and how we would be feeling. Did this mean there would come a time when everyone would use their intuition to communicate with one another? Would we trust our inner voice more? What does "grow spiritually" mean? I am finding out exactly what it means because the process has started within me a while back and I can really sense it now. I also have seen the process of spiritual growth in clients. A nice lady at our Minnesota fair came up and chatted with me on Sunday. She told me she bought the moldavite necklace from me a while back and that it has been helping her tremendously with accepting change and she feels so good about life and where she's headed. It was at that moment, I realized what this change is all about for many of us.....this spiritual growth and what affects the astrological impact will have on our lives and spirituality.

I have been sensing it for over a year but now can put it in words. Trusting God is what this is all about. So many of us try to control every move and every little thing we do. For years, I could tell you where I would be on any given date, probably a year in advance or more. I had my entire life planned out; from where I would live, to how long I would work to what I would do for a living and who I would be with. I have no answer for any of those questions now. I seriously have no idea. I mean I still have dreams and goals but I am OPEN now to what God wants to bring me rather than thinking I had to have everything a certain way in my life to be fulfilled. For many people that have lost their jobs and homes, they have been forced to trust a greater power than themselves. And when they do, God brings them what they need and opens new doors they could never imagine! The difference from two or ten or twenty years ago, is that I would have been scared to death not knowing where I would be or what I would be doing. Now, it is exciting and I am looking forward to what God will put in my path because I BELIEVE it will be good. I KNOW it will be! I know God will take care of my every need and put me where I supposed to be. He will take care of me and I do not need to worry. This is what spiritual growth is about. It didn't happen over night but it took a few years and it was a process. I have had some tough times the past few years but I trusted God would bring me what I needed. Within the past three weeks, I have not freaked out or got upset if some part of my life seemed to be crazy or headed down a troubling path. I really have nothing to worry about and that I will truly be all right. I will give you an example. In late January, I had an enormous amount of bills racked up and was a little worried about expenses versus income. I had everything mapped out to work and pay off part of my bills. All I wanted was breathing room. I spent over $1200 just to get to Virginia Beach for our psychic fair. I was counting on my reading income there to help me start the process of paying bills. Well, a huge snow storm came and we had to cancel the show! Not only would I go home with no money to pay bills and support my kids, I also lost close to $1500! I was going in the hole fast! But I felt at peace about it. There was nothing I could do to change the storm. I was stuck but it was OKAY. I knew God would provide. I also knew it was for a higher reason. I needed some down time and Joe and I spent the blizzard filled weekend at the resort on the snow covered beach doing nothing! I have not done "nothing" for so long, that I do not know what it is like to do nothing! But I was okay with it all. We actually had one of the best weekends we could remember! Then God somehow provided because when I got home, calls came in for tons of readings from the advertisements I did in Virginia Beach and I was able to cover some bills. It was ok. Great lesson because I believed it would be okay and was happy in the moment and accepted and thanked God for the VB opportunity to do nothing! I then realized I am starting to look at my entire life like this. It is a knowing deep inside that everything is going to be ok. God may take my life on detours or on side roads I didn't think I wanted to take, but there's a higher reason and a blessed reason for everything that happens. So I don't get upset at silly arguments anymore with loved ones. Not like I used to. I don't worry about things or stress. I somehow know everything is happening as it is supposed to and on God's time frame. I know my needs will be taken care of and I also understand EVERYTHING will work out. I believe because I believe this, blessings will come to me. I have no doubt. I wish I could have felt this way all of my life. Life would have been so much easier! I think I would have made less mistakes. But at least I am at this point now. Here's the kicker......because of my awakening, I am drawing more and more people to me with similar stories and viewpoints. Like the lady I meant in Minny who opened my eyes with her friendly chat. I recognized more and more clients are feeling the same way. When you allow God to take over, you let down the blocks and stagnant energy. When you imagine life as a superhighway without a map, you can go anywhere! Some people say the moldavite has helped them. Others say they have lost everything and had to start over and realized they can make it through. We are in a great cycle right now astrologically speaking with the Sun, Chiron and Neptune all at the same place in Aquarius. We have some wonderful, healing opportunities now and manifesting powers. It's a great time to plant seeds as well. Of course, any time we envision healing ourselves, and take any steps to move in that direction. we're putting out thoughts and energy that helps to heal, not only ourselves but the rest of the world. So if you are going through a tough period or feel your whole world is changing and you are scared because you feel you have no safety net, start trusting God. (Or whatever your belief system may be). I have a strong faith in God. Others may use the word universe, Buddha, Mother Earth, etc....but whatever your belief system, trust! This is a beautiful state to be in. It's a very exciting time to be alive because you are the star in this movie which you really haven't read the entire script for yet. It may not have been written! You are on this journey with new roads and experiences. You can enjoy them and embrace them like I did in VB and then trust God to take care of your needs. It warms my heart to hear other people tell me they are feeling the same way. I get it now and I think this is part of the spiritual evolution; simple as it may be to explain, it is an amazing feeling and attitude when you really embrace it!

Have a great week. Hope to see many of you in New Orleans, Port Huron, Grand Rapids and of course I encourage you to sign up for the Cosmic Connections Convention in April now!

Maria
