Greetings
Sorry you haven't heard from me in a while.
I just got back from a whirlwind weekend
at this year's INATS (International new Age Trade Show).
Lots of changes for us these days.
Raven moved to Tesuque, New Mexico recently. He can be reached
on his cell (505) 455-0370.
It is exciting and empowering to head
out into a whole new direction. At the same time it is sad
in the ending of the old. Our oldest dog also died last week.
So there are lots of endings - and beginnings - occuring for
us.
Have you been feeling the need to let
go of something? An old relationship? A job that is not serving
you? People everywhere are changing the way their life looks.
It is a very empowering time.
I've included the latest message from
Karen Bishop. I feel she has done a great job of explaining
not only what is happening for us, but for many during these
crazy new times.
May you be blessed in the radiance
of the One. May you find joy, inspiration, and upliftment
in these words.
Close your eyes for a moment. Take
a few slow deep breaths and center yourself. Allow the Divine
loving energy of your Higher Self and Guides to use this communication
to assist you. Feel the loving, joy-filled, healing energy
being poured into you and your world in this moment.
Find something you are grateful for.
From that space, read these words and allow blessings to fill
both you and your life. Feel free to share these words with
those you love.

When I discovered Dolphin Empowerment . . . I was ecstatic!
I love it and feel like I've found home
Exercise Healthy Passion
Becoming physically fit and healthy is so much easier if
you can find an activity that you are passionate about.
If you want energy to flow in your body and your life, then
you must move your body.
If you sit in your car, at the office, on the couch, then
the energy has no reason to move through.
When you move the body, it opens the energy channels for
health, creativity, happiness, even financial abundance.
Why do you think that Chi Kung masters can be as much as
100 times more effective than a Reiki Master? It is because
the Chi Kung practitioner consistently does exercises to keep
the energy channels open and flowing - therefore allowing
much more energy to move through them to the client.
There is the perfect form of movement for everyone.

Getting to Truly Know Things
Several experts have mentioned recently that it takes 10
years to really know (understand - be one with) anything.
One person in particular wanted to know how long I'd been
making Dancing Dolphin Essences. When I answered, "10
years," they were very pleased and knew that I truly
understood energy medicine - flower essences, gem essences,
aromatherapy, dolphin healing, divine light, sound healing
- all the things that go into Dancing Dolphin Essences and
Magnificent Aromatherapy Roll-Ons.
So I've reviewed what it is that I truly know - especially
in light of the recent changes in my life.
Each thing you've done for 10 years or more is a form of
apprenticeship or initiation. Some are fun and you chose them
- like a career path or job choice. Others are things that
seem to be thrust upon you like poverty, illness, or physical
and emotional abuse. I view those things to be what you have
come to understand. Once you have healed them for yourself,
you can help others from a place of "knowing."
What I've spent at least 10 years getting to know, understand,
become one with:
- marriage
- parenting (less than 6 months to go)
- industrial engineering
- web design, promotion, and optimization
- authoring books and articles
- energy healing
- healing power of crystals
- dolphin healing energetics
- healing past trauma and fear
- flower essences and other energy elixirs
- aromatherapy
- hands-on healing
- channeling insight and energy
- Pleiadians and Arcturians
- the energetics of camelot/avalon
- shamanism
- New Mexico and the American Southwest
- intuitive insight into what a person needs to hear most
right now
- becoming empowered on all levels
- dowsing
- clearing people and the environment of disharmonious energies
(cords and attachments, energy vampires, curses, though projections,
sorcery, and the like)
- illness (thank heavens that one is complete)
I'm sure there are more things I "know." This is
just what comes to mind immediately.
What have you done or experienced for 10 years or more?
This is your personal list of power skills. Honor them and
ask the Universe to assist you in figuring out how to use
those skills for the betterment of mankind.
In the works: several DVD programs, an on-line
course for dowsing and energy medicine, a new book about energy
healing, and more. I've been invited to host a radio show
and there is even talk of a television program. Keep checking
the newsletter for updates.
Homeschooling: An “Insider’s” Perspective
on a Highly Misunderstood Choice
By Debbie “Takara” Hicks
It is always amusing to watch someone’s expression
change when I mention that I homeschool my 9-year old son.
The reaction is always a strong one regardless of who I am
speaking to.
Some break into a broad smile – awestruck at the realization
that I am one of the few willing to take on such a huge and
important responsibility. Others literally shrink back in
horror – wondering how I could be such an irresponsible
parent.
Obviously those in the first group know someone who homeschools
or knows something about it. And, just as obviously, the people
in the second group know very little or have only heard about
a bad example.
When I shared the information about being a homeschool parent
with the Headmaster of a highly regarded private school, his
response was, “Never stop. It is the best possible education
a child can have.” A public school teacher shared with
me her philosophy: “The early grades are O.K. in our
public schools, but by 4th grade you need to pull them out.”
These are professional educators and they believe that homeschooling
is not only a wise choice, but often the best one.
Individuals who judge it as a bad choice without knowing
the facts sometimes make it difficult for those of us who
have made this monumental life decision.
Why Families Choose to Homeschool
There are as many reasons why families choose to homeschool
as there are homeschool families. Numerous studies have tried
to figure it out. “Why did you start homeschooling?”
is a common question we ask one other.
Some discussed it, studied it in depth, and made the decision
long before the child was born. A fair percentage make the
choice for religious reasons. Sometimes the homeschooling
decision is made because the child is having a difficult time
socially or academically in public school. Many choose to
homeschool because they can’t afford a good private
school and, in their opinion, public school is simply out
of the question.
It is not an easy decision to make and definitely not one
that is taken lightly. It requires constant time, energy,
money, commitment, adaptability, change, and rarely any time
off on the part of the parent. For many, it means that one
parent dedicates themselves to being a full time educator
while the other brings in all the income for the family. In
today’s economy, that can be quite a challenge.
I personally made the decision to become a homeschool parent
because I wanted to ensure that my child received a good education
without compromising his happiness, self esteem, sense of
individuality, natural creative talent, or curiosity. Those
are the primary concerns of most of the homeschool parents
I know.
Homeschool families don’t fit into some easy to define
demographic. We come in all shapes, sizes, religions or lack
of religions, income ranges, and ethic backgrounds. The methods
we choose to educate our children are as diverse as we are.
Manifesting Tip
I'm sure you've heard it before: Let the Universe (what I
call the Divine Presence) know what you want - the end result
or goal. And don't try to figure out the "how."
Trying not to figure out the "how" with your logical
mind is very important. But knowing how is fundamental to
your successful manifestation. O.K., first I said don't try
to figure out how and then I said you must know how. Isn't
that a contradiction?
No.
Your logical mind is limited and is stuck in the fear or
limiting belief pattern that is keeping you from having, being,
or experiencing what it is that you desire. So you, all on
your own, trying to figure out "how" to manifest
what you want is pretty useless.
But, when you ask the Divine Presence to give you the "how,"
truly miraculous things can happen. So, ask to be shown how
to manifest what you want.

LAYING THE NEW FOUNDATION AND THE MEANING OF OUR STORE-FRONTS
by Karen Bishop (with permission)
Greetings!
Like aftershocks following a massive earthquake, we have
experienced several minor shifts in the weeks following the
solstice and full moon, and even since the last energy alert
of July 1. As more and more souls catch up and find themselves
in very new energetic spaces, this creates another shift of
unity and cohesion, and thus, another awesome shift of a positive
feeling nature occurs as we suddenly begin to feel as though
more is settling in.
Yes, we are settling in now, if even in small and continuous
steps. Re-connecting is the theme and purpose now, and until
we find ourselves re-connecting to a fair degree, the road
can seem rocky, unpredictable, scary, out of sync, strange,
confusing and nonsensical, and perhaps even grossly uncomfortable
as we do not seem to know where we are or what is going on
around us and within us.
This last energy upheaval of the June 21st time frame reminds
me of the Big Bang theory of evolution. I really know nothing
of physics and these types of things, so please bear with
me. What is occurring now is something similar to the Big
Bang if one were to read the current energies of late. These
energies of June blew just about everything out of the water
or out of its old groove so that much could begin again. This
is what is causing the stress, insecurity, confusion, and
nonsensical feelings many of us are experiencing. After we
have separated and spread out as far as we can go (and some
are still spreading out), we can then connect once again.
In this way, we may find that our loved ones and those near
and dear to us are leaving and going somewhere else. It may
seem that we are being permanently separated from those with
whom we have shared the closest connections. It may seem like
much of everything is “going away” and that our lives have
completely broken down and fallen apart (along with ourselves!).
The separation needs to occur, as we need to find out who
we really are, we need to re-connect to our true and authentic
selves, we need to connect to Source more fully, and thus,
establish a new and stronger re-connection with our foundations.
(Some may not need to re-connect at all, but are simply waiting
and respecting the re-connection experience of others, if
even at a soul or subconscious level.)
Blessings to your journey,
Deb
