Developed at Stanford, Remote Viewing represents a quantum leap in your intuitive and psychic discernment. It has been said that a well-trained remote viewer can go beyond any psychic that has ever lived.
Join Remote Viewers Nicole Myers Henderson and Dr Wayne Carr for Remote Viewing Level I training to explore, understand and utilize these techniques for business or pleasure!
What is Remote Viewing? Remote viewing is a trainable technique that enables a person to extract accurate descriptive information from distant locations. How does this happen? It works across time in a way that allows a remote viewer to isolate and extricate information from the past, present, or the future. Scientists from Stanford University used reasonable (and even some unreasonably excessive) scientific controls under laboratory conditions early in the 1960’s that have proven to be safe and effective at enabling any normal well-balanced individuals to retrieve data from across any time line they deem necessary.
There are many ways in which to utilize Remote Viewing. Scientific Remote Viewing refers to a set of protocols that are a highly modernized and an extended version of the original techniques developed and used by the U.S. military in the 1980s and 1990s for espionage purposes. (Copyright 1997, Courtney Brown) Medical Remote Viewing is being researched and developed by Dr. Wayne Carr and Nicole M Henderson for determine extreme and subtle imbalances within the human frame. Either of these protocols allows nearly any normal, well-balanced individual to remote view with tremendous precision. Scientific studies using a number of highly proficient remote viewers employing these protocols can yield results that approach near complete accuracy consistently. Effective training and proficiency are the key factors.
Join us to enhance your life! Cost: 269.00. For more information visit our calendar page on June 22nd for all the details. RSVP required.
Astrology Spotlight with Susan Reynolds
FULL MOON on May 5th 2012 - 16° Scorpio
Scorpio Moons are all deep, dark and mysterious. Scorpio calls out to the hidden parts of our psyche. We all have a public face and a private face. When the Moon is in Scorpio we are more interested in what is below the surface. We dig for answers. If you are in therapy, then this can be a very productive period as the influence of this Moon will last up to three days beforehand and three days afterward. There is great power here and we may end up in some sort of power struggle with someone. So be careful of any stubborn streak you have as it will be activated. One of Scorpio’s main qualities is its sexual intensity. Your libido can suddenly jump up and demand notice. Sexual mistakes happen because you are in the mist of desire and not rational thought. But if you are in a committed long-term relationship this can be a lot of fun, as you rekindle desire and passion. This is not a casual light-hearted Moon, it is one of coming to know ourselves better. We are not interested in the superficial so if we meet someone new it can become intense quickly. Under Scorpio’s rays we seek out the wounded parts of a person, be they friend, lover or family. Yes, wounds come to the surface but it is to be helped and healed.
NEW MOON on May 20th 2012 - 0° Gemini
New Moons and Gemini go together perfectly. Gemini loves to explore what is new and interesting. Because Gemini loves to be on the go, you could find yourself in the car a lot as you drive all over town looking for the right gift for someone or even driving the kids back and forth between band practice and soccer. Take the time to talk to them as Gemini loves to talk. Add on extra minutes to the cell phone because here is where your bill will go up. It is all talk, talk, for the next few days. Gemini loves gadgets so beware of impulse buying of the next new craze. You might be super tempted to buy new computer equipment. This sign rules communication and information and a computer does both. It’s okay to buy as long as it is not on impulse. If you have been thinking about making a purchase for some time and have done your homework, then by all means make the purchase. Talk up a storm and share new ideas. Pitch the new idea to your boss and see what happens. You will be amazed at all the new ideas that just sort of pop into your head when you are busy doing something else. Volunteer to give a speech or write a brochure. Your communication talents will shine.
