Nice Letters We Get

Maria-

You nailed it, sister!

Bought the new house...love it! Moving in 85-90 degree weather. The A/C works for the first two days, then BAM...it dies. There are those added expenses you spoke of. You know, sometimes I hate it when you're right. :-)

I had a reading with you in 2007. At that time you gave me a three year reading and you told me I would have a better financial year in 2009 and even better in 2010. Well since I started writing the law of abundance checks I have received several monetary blessings. I got an insurance check for wind damage that was over $5,000.00 dollars. Someone who owed me money paid me $275.00. I also have a CPA do my taxes but when I received my refund check it was $300.00 more then he had figured. I'm not sure if it is the stars or the law of abundance checks but the blessings just keep coming.

You told me at the time I was coming out of the worst seven years, and boy were you right. Thanks for the good news. I look forward to the rest of this year and next. You told me my son would have a baby next year and so did Charee. My brother who is younger then me is having his second great grand child. Boy am I looking forward to being a grandma. I have waited a long time for this. I have two boys and Charee said it is going to be a girl, so I'm over the moon in anticipation.

Thanks for every thing.

Dear Maria and Joe;

I got a reading from both of you while you were here in New Orleans and they coincided very well. I was impressed with Joe and how he was able to connect with a loved one on the other side. There was no way he could have known some of the personal things he shared with me. It was an amazing experience that helped me deal with the passing. I am very happy knowing I can still share a connection. May God Bless you both for the work you do. Love, A New Orleans believer

Maria - thanks for sending out the Soul Mates/Hot Dates book so quickly! I love the read. I actually need to order two more for my friends. They keep trying to borrow my copy and I don't want to part with it. Jeanne

Astro News
By Maria Shaw

Whew! What a summer it has been. Many of my astrological predictions regarding the cardinal climax have already come true. Whether you felt the intense energies on a personal, professional or societal level, this summer certainly for many, has not been easy. Our Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn friends have had the most changes but probably many of you have been affected in one way or another. Any relationship that has stood the test of time is probably meant to last. I bet everyone has had some sort of transition or transformation take place or can see the possibility of one now.

Many of us have experienced some sort of obstacles but having obstacles also gives us the chance to make a change or move into a new direction. They force us to do something and are necessary for our growth. So many of us have probably had a big breakthrough this summer or completed something. Perhaps there was a major ending in your life. But as you know, with endings come new beginnings! And at the very least, you were able to see the writing on the wall clear as day; rather than wonder which direction to take. This could actually in some ways, seem like a big relief because at least there is an end in sight for many. I have talked to so many people over the summer who have divorced, or in the process, moving, selling, suing, and experiencing job losses and new options too. The energy of this summer will last for many months and the results for many years in some cases. The last time we had such a configuration was in August 1999. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius were the most affected then. The thing to remember for the next couple of weeks is this.... anything that is weak in nature, will probably break. If your relationship is weak, it may end. If the company you work for has problems and is weak, it may close, merge, restructure, etc. Things are going to happen fairly quickly now. People will be making decisions quickly too. So expect situations that are not good for you to end. And even though endings can be difficult and it's hard to see past the tears, disappointment and such, the result is for the best. Don't hang onto things that are not good for you just because you cannot see what's coming down the road.

Chris Castro wrote about his experiences at our Summer Psychic fair at the House of Broel He is on to our show in Roseville MN this coming weekend. He will be our guest speaker at 12noon both days.

Loves Evolution-Interlude 1

For several centuries now, we have overemphasized the intellect. It is fine in its place but it's not the most authentic way of knowing the world and its value. The most authentic self comes from a place most of us are afraid to touch; our heart. When was the last time you placed your hand on your heart? – Jimmy Vitakis.

A Trip to New Orleans-

Anticipation grew inside my heart as the plane made its decent into the southern plains of New Orleans. The creeping blackness of dark spots had now submerged themselves to the bottom of the ocean making it seem as if the obvious oil spill never affected the region at all.

The plane touched the soiled surface and minutes later we disembarked. There was a noticeable difference in the quality of air and the quality of light touching the ground. Only the clouds knew the crescent of heat that touched each one until the beams of light finally reached us, a normal hot day making its strength known a hundred folds.

Half covered in sweat the otherwise visible coolness of our bodies began to take on a watery dusk filled appearance. Beads of sweat formed and then ran down our temples, shirts magically changed colors from light to dark blue, all this without warning. The magic of the number 8 was prominent. 88 degrees at 8am. At ground level the sunlight appeared more like a superhero through a broken filter, shadows were so prominent that by looking at it I could tell how many strands of hair were sticking up…or lack thereof. The world in New Orleans, it would seem, was placed inside an oven and everyone a treaty cinnamon roll baking for morning brunch.

Yet for the next two days we explored the streets and galleries, the thin store fronts and soothing architecture of the 18th and 19th Century. Being consumed by the aging bricks one could see strange occurrences. Maybe it was the possibility of a ghost that was trapped or a voice that would make itself heard even when no one was around. At night the buildings appeared to gain a unique kind of momentum that separated its features from anything we had seen during the day. The shadows bled into a normal spectrum of surprise.

But in truth we were not here to splendor our eyes by the partials of this unique place but to achieve the totality of healing, a lengthy and narrow path I, along with a few other gifted individuals have agreed to take on. Saturday and Sunday The House of Broel, the mansion that opened its doors, hosted a weekend healing, a Summer Psychic Fair.

The complexion of the sky changed, not because we were indoors in air conditioning rather large groups of people who had gathered wishing to change the darkness that had gathered in their hearts. And here I was silently blessing away the fear that had planted itself deeply in the minds and hearts of angels spreading itself from within.

All day Saturday and Sunday we touched lives but here I was, speaking and dancing, moving my hands and pens describing to beautiful people who sat with me why things continue to happen. The wisdom grew, the view of their lives passed in front of me when voices spoke and wisdom followed.

"I see your Grandmother….that book, yes that book you wish to write why haven't you started…that relationship has been fulfilled…let go…forgive……….."

…and on and on and on the information of life squeezed itself from daylight to nightfall. The crescent of information that did not come from me but through me turned people's lives into an opportunity to expand.

I blessed the wisdom that came from my heart; a place I continue to study because everything I know still does not measure up to what is there to learn. But what I came to understand was the information that formed inside my heart desperately pushing itself forward to the ears of those who sat with me, close to thirty. I listened and reminded them the heart guides with tenderness and truth. I shared my stories of the wilderness I walked, the desert and the Kingdom of Hearts.

My awareness opened and information channeled through about their past and their potential future should they wish to walk it knowing what is coming. I shared the paths they have available and the wisdom contained behind the shadow. But in all I found our compassion when tears fell in unison when someone that had passed spoke to them through silent words I had shared. In full moments of divinity angels appeared, cupids played their harps and hearts listened.

I left each person with words that spoke truth.

"You are wiser than you know, kinder than you give yourself credit for. Perfection is just an opinion. Believe in your own perfection and divinity. You are loving and compassionate. Your hearts hold the world and we all watch you in awe. Now walk out that door and begin to take your life back."

At the end our energy was zapped but the feeling of helping and healing is something that words cannot describe. Those who are open and willing to accept a change are those who will shift their path. Those who are not ready will shift when the time is right or when they are forced by circumstance. It was an amazing weekend and here I am now in my office writing more lessons on my next book The Course. Enchanting Inspiration is the current one that is nearing completion, a book I am eager to share with the world.

But the end came quickly and now I find myself packing up once again fragmenting pieces of myself for another weekend of healing this time in Minnesota the week of August 21st and 22nd 2010. I don't know what will come out or how it will come out. I don't know if I will meet 1person or 50. But I do know that I am willing, open and accepting to flare my heart across the souls of those who wish to ignite their flame.

May you all come into my lives at one moment or another. I am here, let's talk, let's expand, and let's enjoy the life we all have left. With all my Love to all of you.

One of our lectures at the Minnesota fair this weekend will be on Twin flames. Joe and I will talk on Sunday. Avianna, one of our readers who will also be there sent over this info she found while doing research. It sounds a lot like what we talk about in our lectures and thought we'd pass it onto you.

Twin Flame Relationships
Sent from Avianna

Twin Flame reunions are the most fulfilling relationships we can enter into as humans, on all levels. However, twin flame couples have been extremely rare on the planet, and for good reasons, which will be described later. Despite this, we are finding that more and more twins are finding each other now, because of the acceleration of spiritual transformation and opportunities for soul evolution we are all experiencing. People are evolving and learning and healing at such a fast rate that they are getting ready for their twins faster. What used to take lifetimes to learn and heal, people are now going through in years or even months. This is the astounding level of acceleration we and the planet are going through.

When twins get together, it is for some kind of spiritual service work. This is their primary reason for finding each other, because through their union a huge birthing of creative energy is released, to be used for their mission together. More and more twins are attempting to get together now to help the planet and humanity make a big shift forward in consciousness.

However, many of these attempts at reunion are unsuccessful because the individual people are not quite ready for the intensity of a twin flame union. It is more intense than any other union, and this intensity is at a soul level, not as much in the physical or even emotional bodies. This doesn't mean that there isn't a good attraction at those levels as well, but the strongest attraction is of spirit. This is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a twin soul. Many people think they have met their twin because the attraction is so intense, but it is a karmic attraction, one of need or bodily desire rather than the Divine Love of twins.

Your chance of meeting and staying with your twin depends on how evolved your soul is, and how much of your baggage from this and past lives you have cleared. The biggest reason twins have to separate after coming together is their individual emotional baggage. Because in the presence of your twin, there can be nothing between you, nothing blocking your closeness. This means that everything comes up for healing that you haven't previously healed. Everything!

When twins reunite, both of them experience an acceleration of their spiritual growth and awakening. They get on the fast track of learning about esoteric wisdom and experiencing other states of consciousness. They usually haven't been together all that often during their series of lives on the planet, and so their backgrounds may be different. Yet, there is a closeness and similarities of spirit that are almost uncanny, noticed in many ways, such as looking back at yourself when you look at your mate, and a remembering of the distant past when you first split up. Guidance is strong with these relationships, and usually one or both have a good channel for communication with Spirit. Their connection is telepathic, and hugging each other is like coming home for nourishment.
