This Saturday was the first day for a two day (one this month and one next month) two hour long workshop titled Connecting and Channeling Your Guide. I am also going to be doing a three hour workshop in Tsawwassen in May. I have been asked repeatedly if I would do this and as often happens the people who ask for the workshop, do not appear, but others do. I had six in this workshop. Five in person, and one, who had come down with a cold, by Skype. Hopefully, she will join us in person next month.
First I spoke about guides, what are they and how they work, and how we can discover if it is 'guide' speaking to us, or our own voice. Then after a meditation to connect with the guide, we all began to write what they said to us. Almost all of us got something insightful or inspirational, which of course is what a guide is to do. By practicising this, their automatic writing skills will be honed.
The two hours went fast and they group went home with their notebooks and instructions to do a short time with their guide every day, and write out what they say. Next month when we get together again, we will see who is willing to let their guide energy through enough to 'speak' through them.
I look forward to seeing how the trust and understanding grows between each of them and their guides when we all convene again.

More Soul Origin Stories
I recently did two more Soul Origin readings/clearings and once more was astounded with what I found. It is so exciting to do these because not only is it uncharted waters for me, what I’m discovering is teaching me a lot.
One story evolved as I tuned in I could not ‘feel anything’ and was wondering ‘what, what’s happening’ when I asked my client, "do you often feel not connected to anything" as soon as she replied ‘yes’, then I knew I was on the right track, so decided we needed to go back to when the soul first came to earth (a pivotal point in these readings). Once there, I realized the soul was only mildly interested in this journey of earth (and I’m looking for enthusiasm, love of life and joy). When I said we need to go back before this, the soul informed me, it could not do that because it was in three pieces. Upon checking, I found one just hanging out, and one attached to a male and this left me in a quandary. I was not sure what to do, so I asked inside and was told what to do, so brought the man’s soul piece in and once the three pieces were at one, we were able to go back.
Now, came the second thing I had not run into. Here, in this space, there were globes of souls just hanging out. I could not find a structure, or anything or anyone who was in command of this place, but there were lots of these soul globes just being there. The significant feeling all through this was weariness. Just weary. As I observed, trying to get a handle on what and where this place I was in was, I realized that every now and again a globe would leave, but again could not figure out how come it knew to leave, or even where to go, so decided we needed to go back further.
Again, an interesting thing occurred. It was like the planet, place or dimension this soul had been on was diminishing - like when you read about an old star dying. This place was slowly dying and the souls knew they could not stay there and would have to leave. Sadness yes, but mostly weary of it all. So back some more, when finally I found a place where the life, or times the soul was in, was happy, fulfilled and feeling great. Ah, now I have something I can bring back. So consolidating that feeling, I began the journey back to the present. Bringing back the enthusiasm for existence, also adding some excitement about ‘newness’, we went through the diminishing, into the globes and then back into the earth vibration. This time, quite different, enthusiastic about experiencing the differences here on earth.
When I integrated everything here and now, my client said she felt ‘really good’. Will check back in with her in a couple of weeks to see how she is doing with this new soul integration.
The last one I did was again so very different. This was with a client I have done a lot of transformation/clearing work with and whose life has changed a great deal over time we have spent working together. Now she was ready to experience this ‘last piece’. And what a piece it was. Upon going back to the coming to earth point, there was curiosity as to what was here, and then as I went back again, I felt like I was in a place, which I could only explain as 1600 Venice. The way the beings were dressed were like our ‘court days’. Very little, if any facial expressions and everyone was only interested in status and possessions.
Then going back further, I found myself experiencing a place were it appeared soul’s were created. Beautiful energy, beautiful beings. I would say it felt like angelic energy. Totally gentle, absolutely without any judgements at all, soft, gentle, energy. I wrote down on my work sheet - Angel of Light, as that was the only way I could explain it. Then as I brought this beautiful energy back through time, we went to a very heavy time period, where I was told she spent 10 turns (not lives, but turns whatever that meant) where it was rough and tough, heavy bodies, then she went to several other dimensions and places, never staying too long, and then finally into the Venice (as I called it) environment.
Then back into earth and through to this lifetime. When asked how many lifetimes here my client has had I received the answer 53. At the end, my client was feeling connected and peaceful.
Since speaking with her again she says the feeling has persisted.

The Tarot helps make a decision
Most days I go for a walk by Skaha Lake. Over these winter months, sometimes the wind has been so cold and strong that my friend Jeanne and I have opted to walk along the street beside the lake so the houses protect us. It seems since November, when the temperatures were quite reasonable, the wind began to blow cold. Then of course the temperatures dropped and so the wind chill got really cold. But that never stopped us. Most days (unless our schedule doesn't allow it we walk even when our faces would be quite cold when we finished our walk.
As we walk beside the lake, we get to see the lake in its many moods. Calm, with the hills reflected into it, choppy, which is when it is grey and moody and then rough, with white caps wherever you look. One cannot but think about how life is like that. Some days are just calm, peaceful and easy, others moody and choppy, and then every now and again you have a day when it seems nothing goes right.
What we do with these different days is the important thing. I found myself saying to my Tarot class last night one of my favorite sayings "its not the event which is important, its how you handle it". We know that thoughts create our vibration, and that vibration goes out and brings to us our reality. Whether we like the reality when it shows up, we must deal with what comes. Sometimes we can see how our thinking has not been the greatest in the last while and the choppiness of our thoughts and feelings get reflected,but sometimes, out of the blue (as the Tower symbol signifies) something occurs, happens or we perceive something which is different. Then we have to decide how to handle it.
This morning, when doing my cards I had the Tower, and as usual I looked to see how much of the Tower was falling down - not much. Then later when I was looking at my emails there was an email saying a booth had come up at a Health & Wellness Fair which I had neglected to register for and had written to say, "if you have a cancellation, let me know". Here it was, there has been a cancellation. Now comes the second part of the quandary. Do I take this booth, it is not where I would prefer, it is smaller than I would like, yet do I trust the Tower, which always states: "accept, let go and rebuild". Therefore, I decided to do a reading, on accepting the offer or not. For those that know the Tarot I got the following: Hermit (answer lies within me) Hanged Man (I needed to accept what has been offered) Ace of Cups (change my attitude), High Priestess (make the decision) and Empress (Abundance). If we put these together, it says, you know the answer, by accepting and changing your attitude, then you can decide and create the abundance that awaits.
Because I always like to look at both sides of the story this is what I got for not going: Page Pentacles (absorbed in material things) Three Wands (projecting my ideas out) Three Pentacles (frustration and waiting) Eight Wands, (waiting for things to manifest) and Three Swords (disappointment). This then was saying, if I became absorbed in worrying about the money (I still have to pay for the booth) then I would not be projecting what I wanted, but rather staying in lack and frustration, as everything would be up in the air and not manifesting and I would be disappointed and unhappy.
From these two readings, I would say I need to go and accept the placement and smaller booth size and let it unfold as it will. Like the lake, let my mood become at ease and see the beauty of what is offered. Today our walk by the lake was wonderful. The wind, although cool was quietier than usual, and the water was calm.
I'll let you know how the weekend goes (next week March 2 & 3).
You look around and see what nature is telling you about yourself and life.
Blessings
Norma.

Soul Origins Readings
I did my first Soul Origin Reading/Clearing and Aligning yesterday. I was nervous, for although I got this ideas because during my Clearing work I run into the soul holding onto energy which is blocking and go back see what the energy the soul came into earth with, I had not until yesterday just concentrated on that alone. I was not disappointed in myself. In fact I found it interesting to say the least. I think the story which unfolded could be written up as a novel.
When I first tuned into the Soul of my client, I picked up alot of sadness, which ended up into grief. When checking she affirmed that yes she did have an underneath sadness. As I was clearing that I determined a number of lives in which husbands, children and family were lost - hence the sadness. I then began to follow the soul back to when it first arrived in earth's vibration and it was so enthusiastic (which is surprising as I often run into the opposite, nervous, scared or angry about being here).
Then I went back to what brought the soul here. Things got interesting. I saw a very white tall structure in which a tall, thin, male energy sitting above (like a judge does in some court rooms)talking down to five people before him and they were leaving on a journey to Earth. So off in their spaceship they went, happy, enthusiastic about their journey. They spent 2 1/2 years wandering around earth (unseen).
Now this part I found interesting. They were invisible to humans yet were among them. It reminded me of how entities are here but we don't see them, because they are on a different vibration than our physical one.
When their exploration was over, they met back at their space craft (which seemed long and sleek) they could not get it started to return back to where they came from. Therefore, they had to integrate themselves into the human vibration and began the reincarnation cycle.
My client said it answered a number of questions, especially the one in which she felt she needed to get 'home'. She always thought it was about rejoining into the 'one', but now she realized it had another meaning. Other understandings came as well.
All in all, an interesting and wonderful session. I look forward to many more, maybe not quite as interesting, but wonderful as we unravel why we are not living in peace, harmony and joyousness today.
Have a great day!

It's February Already
I sit here on Friday February 1st, wondering where January went. Usually I find January a long month, but this year - no. It went incredibly fast. Perhaps it was because I was busy with clients, classes and movie going, but still it did seem to go fast.
I must say I have had some interesting psychic clearing work this last month. I found several even had 'curses' to release. We sometimes forget that when a person has a not very good intent to another and sends to energy that it can land, which classifies as a 'curse'.
Over the years the 'curse' concept has gotten a bad wrap. Most of all because some readers use this to get more dollars out of their clients. What I have run into over the years is often generational curses. A thought form attached which comes down generation after generation. Others though is in this life. A couple I can think of which I remember is:
1) a girl around seven years old in the school playground had another young gal become really jealous of her. This resulted the the jealous gal's viscous thoughts penetrating into her system and she thereafter was afflicted by this jealous gals thought. After I cleared that, she emailed to say that the next day she awoke feeling 'like herself'.
2) Is a family generation curse, going back many generations to Ireland, where one woman again was jealous with a girl winning the man she wanted and sent out a viscous thought about them not succeeding. Since then the family had not done well financially. Again releasing that thought form has made a difference in that woman's life.
I have found that clients will come often with the same issue. Its like bunches at the same time. Not every client has a curse, but I have run into several this last month.
On a personal note, I began a diet program January 1st and so far it is working really well.. I'm committed to this program which will take approximately a year to complete. I do believe for my health and being able move better I needed to drop the extra weight I am carrying. When I was ill last year, I dropped quite a bit, but once I began eating again I put on around 20 lbs, so that needed to come off plus more. Part of this program is to walk 30 minutes per day. I usually walk 20 - 25 minutes a day anyway with my walking partner Jeanne. Its been interesting with snow, ice and a very cold wind. We prefer to walk outside than inside, and the wind has been very cold since December. The odd, very odd, day there is no wind, which is like heaven. This morning I awoke to blue skies and that was great too. Living between two lakes we get a lot of grey skies, so when those blue skies arrive....wonderful!
I was also happy with the workshops I did during January. I was especially excited about the Skype attendees forthe Manifesting Your Goals a two hour class. Three on Skype and three in person, was exciting. Therefore I'm looking forward to the workshops coming up this month. As I'm on an Internet Radio Program on Spiritual Prosperity, I'm doing a follow up course on Saturday following again with Skype. Plus a workshop on reading, drawing and interpreting auras.
I also through January did a few channeling groups with a few people each time. I'm happy to report that is working well, and I'm open for private 1/2 hour channeling sessions, and groups. My life is pretty well back to normal. I still can get tired, but I rest. I do not push myself and I very rarely need a nap. Yes, life is beginning to feel 'normal' whatever that is.
I'm trusting I will be able to get to blog more often in the future than I have the last few months.
Until next time, remember - ENJOY what you are doing. Life is here to ENJOY fully.

Mid January Report
How wonderful it feels to be back in the saddle, so to speak, clients, classes, planning trips etc. As winter has descended here, the ground is covered in snow covered ice. So one walks very carefully. Luckily the roads are clear. The last few days the sun has been shining and the wind chill not so bad, which makes the daily walks more comfortable. I like many at this time of the year have chosen a new food program (not using the word diet). This one will be for the long haul, hopefully to get to the weight I truly want to be. I also am still taking my Jusuru Life Blend daily, and feel the benefits of that. Otherwise life is pretty much the same.
My downtime is spent watching TV and Movies. I especially like a new TV series called Switched At Birth, found it almost by accident and love it. It is about two girls switched at birth and one became deaf. Therefore you have a large deaf component with sign language and learning about their difficulties. Mostly its about the parents, the children (teenagers) and relationships. If you see it, check it out.
I believe everyone has felt some of the changes in vibration that have gone on and will continue to go on. Sometimes, I wish everything would just settle down and then we would know where we are going - but of course now everything has to resettle and we, us humans, have to decide how we want to show up in this new vibration world, which so many people do not realize has changed. But I guess thats the fun of it all. Growth sometimes is not easy, but we need to make it interesting and fun. Don't you think?
Before the end of the year, most of the readings I was doing for people showed the need for letting go, and we need to remember to 'let go' of 'stuff', which I'm doing as I begin to declutter my house, but mostly ideas, beliefs and attitudes we have had. I listened to the book DEEP TRUTH by Greg Braden, in fact gave it to my son and son in law for Christmas, because he speaks alot about how many of the held ideas and beliefs are not true. Are proven not true, yet we still act like they are. Yes, time to change, let go, be open to newness.
January has begun with a number of classes for me to teach. I have my usual Wednesday night drop in group, plus I'm finishing up my last Tarot class as the last two classes got postponed due to the weather so this Thursday I will be completing that. Tonight I finish up a series of three workshops on Transforming Your Blocks (one per month) and as we clear our emotions away from our memories, that will be the end of that series. This coming Saturday I'm facilitating a two hour Manifesting Your Goals, by Skype and in Person. Then on the 29th I begin another eight week Tarot Course. Will organize February in the coming week. March will see me heading to Toronto area. Already workshops and psychic parties and channeling events are booked, so that pleases me too.
I trust you are enjoying the January weather wherever you are, northern hemisphere our winter, souther hemsisphere, where I usually go at this time of the year - but not this year - the summer.
Happy times

I trust you are enjoying the January weather wherever you are, northern hemisphere our winter, souther hemsisphere, where I usually go at this time of the year - but not this year - the summer.
Happy times
Norma

Wellness - Busyness of December
Wellness - Busyness of December
As I have become more healthier, of course more gets added to my schedule. I have been walking the fine line of total recuperation, things which need doing and making sure I rest sufficiently. Balance has become a daily activity. If I have a class at night, then I ensure I rest during the day. Usually after I come in from my walk. That means that most of the office details, clients etc are seen in the morning. My friend Jeanne and I usually walk at 1.30 in the afternoon right now that it is fall. During the summer it is usually 10.00am, or 7.00pm due to the heat of the day. But now it is usually 1.30. Today it will be 11.30, due to my schedule having a late minute change to it.
Time is an interesting thing, sometimes it stretches out and you have lots of it, and I have learned to take a book with me in case I'm early, or at least I always (usually) have my IPhone, and I can play a game on that. But flexibility and awareness of what my body needs is coming to me more and more. (Remember I have a strong will that used to just power through - no more can I do that.)
I think when you have had a sick for a while and you begin to get better you become fearful you will do something to set you back. I know I do. I do not want to recreate having absolutely no energy and hurting 24/7. I know as I began to get back on my feet I would have a new adventure (situation) come up and I would be concerned, would it be too much, could I handle it etc. And was pleasantly surprised when I could or did. Sometimes I would find it would be too much and I would adjust my thinking, but on the whole day by day I have become stronger, happier and healthier.
This brings me back balancing my catch up work, regular work, clients and workshops.
I have come to realize how much I love doing what I do. I enjoy my clients, I enjoy my workshops.I am becoming more bored with TV ( a very good thing) and although my soccer watching is still on high alert for my Liverpool team, I watch less of the other teams. My energy, and therefore how I'm approaching life is changing, slowly but surely. Where will it lead? Who knows, a life style change, maybe, but at least I will become more productive in an 'easy' way.
During my Feldenchrist session the other day, working with my therapist Lynn, we found my body was comfortable with 'tight' and 'flow' but not comfortable with 'transition'. Moving from one to the other. As I have worked with a 'tight' back for many, many years and bending and other flexible things have been difficult, we were working on the opposite, which I determined was flow. Having a lovely lunch at a local pub after my session I was contemplating transition - what did that mean to me? I asked the waiter for a pen (somehow my purse did not have one) and did a 'word chain' on the word and sure enough, it was not flowing at all. Therefore, changed it so ensure that transition meant ease, joy, love. Last night I had much more energy. (By the way, the exercise of word chains is now on YouTube/Norma Cowie.
We all know transition is what the earth is involved in. I have been listening to Greg Braden's tape series of his book "Deep Truth" and he says every 5,100. years the earth goes through great changes. We are in that time now. That the first recorded time was via earthquakes and volcanoes, the second was the beginning of the ice age, the third was the end of the ice age and now.....what? No matter what, it is a transition time. People talk about the uncertainty facing us in the world, which also reflects into our daily lives. If you are not aware of the collective consciousness and can stay above it, you can be dragged in.
I do watch the collective consciousness, and yet, my body resists the transition from 'tight' to 'flow'. Interesting, comes from my childhood (what doesn't) and here I am going towards 70 (18 mths away) and I'm still unraveling myself. Luckily I have done a lot of other emotional releasing work, and now I have to address my body. Mind you it did not give me much choice. I had to get to the bottom of what was going on.
Now, here we are facing December and all its business, Christmas period and then New Years. After many requests from friends I'm hosting a pot luck supper Sunday night. I put up an abbreviated Christmas decorations and I will do the basics, but is it too much, as I have a heavy week the following week - busy three nights in a row and then fly to Vancouver to spend the weekend celebrating my daughter's birthday plus family Christmas. And once more I will confront the event with delight (I like nothing more than my house filled with happy people). And if I need to 'rest' I have Monday!!!
My suggestion is take a look at your life. Is there anything you need to balance, anything you need to give up. Remember, if you are over responsible in one area, you will be under responsible in another. Those need to be balanced out.
No matter what, have fun....enjoy....let the happiness run in your veins, its what keeps you health.
Lots of love
Norma.

A review - catch up
Time for some review. As I have become more healthier (thanks to my Jusuru) my workload has become more. Not so much the readings and clearings, that in fact seems to have dropped off a little, but catching up, getting filing done and teaching more evenings. Besides my Wednesday drop in Meditation/Discussion group, my Tarot for Successful Living, which as a couple more weeks to go before it is completed I also have added another evening once a month for a three hour workshop, the first one was held this week.
I ended up being quite tired yesterday (Friday) after three nights teaching, but rested and today so far have rested some more and feel almost back to where I was at the beginning of the week.
This balance I need to maintain between doing and being is really on the edge. If I overdo, then I pay, but if I don't do, and just be, then things don't get done. For instance, Christmas is coming. Several people asked me about the Christmas Pot Luck and Christmas Tea Party (which I used to do annually). Therefore dates are now in place for them. Dec 9th for the Pot Luck Dec 23 for the Tea Party.
I'm now beginning to plan ahead to next Spring. I want to go to Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary and perhaps to Regina again. I have Aeroplan (Air Canada) points which need to be used up. So in looking at dates, ensuring I'm still not overdoing it etc, it makes things interesting. But isn't that the fun part of life? Making plans for the future, it brings about excitement (or dread depending on what it is and where it is going to take you). I'm for the excitement.
I'm off in the a couple of weeks to visit my family in Vancouver. Compliments of my daughter, its her birthday and we will also make it a family Christmas get together. I always enjoy seeing everyone when I can.
Today the sun is shining, and very soon I will be out in it, enjoying the brisk, cool air with the sun shining down, but it has not been like that. Its been cool, damp, rain pouring down and with a cold, cold wind. It may say its 6 degrees, but the wind has been more like zero. So my friend Jeanne and I bundle up when we go for our walks.
As mentioned before I have been seeing a Feldenchrist therapist. That has been beneficial as old traumas have been released from my body. Lots of birthing stuff caught in my shoulder, which my massage therapist has been helping me with. If you are not on facebook, you wouldn't know she has taken a photo of my back because of the changes to my skin and the 'moles' I have on my back falling off or disappearing. Shes impressed (again because of the Jusuru). I am feeling so much more alive and willing to engage life than I have felt for years. I feel more, I'm more in touch with what is happening to me in the present moments and when I listen to me, it is working well. I still have moments when my mind wants to take over, oh boy, that doesn't work out too well. But in my reviewing the decisions etc of my life, I see that is what my mind has done, my intuition (body/heart) has told me this, and then my mind has convinced me of another way, which in the long run did not work out the best. Interesting!
I have been receiving a lot of emails about the changes going on energetically in the vibration of the earth. And I'm seeing it in my consultations as well. People are having to, and I mean having to, let go of their old ideas, beliefs, judgments and look at new paradigms. It is like you don't have a choice. I have also heard of how other 'spiritual/mataphysical' teachers have been 'struck down' like I was with something similar or different. Something which laid them up for several months. This was our way of recalibrating ourselves to the new energy. Wish I had been listening more, or at least paying attention to what I knew instead of thinking 'it could wait till later'. There is no later, there is only now.
Highlights for me these days besides my work, my movie going is back in full swing with our new beautiful theatre, so my movie review blog is up and running again, I can knit again. I can also spend more time on the computer. Perhaps not as much as I would like, but enough to get more things done. Plus, this excitement I feel inside is great, its aliveness, and we need to feel it. I love it, it is what I look for when I'm working with people's souls. When I want them to bring forth that excitement and aliveness of life. Who knows where this will lead, but I feel like I'm back in the saddle. Life will now appear and I will embrace.
Trust your lives are working well right now and you are embracing everything life brings you and celebrating it. It means we are alive!
Lots of love

Tarot - Pentacles
Thursday night is Tarot night in this house. This week we looked at the journey of the Pentacles. As Pentacles relate to the element of earth, the symbols relate to the material world. The world that we can see feel and touch. It is not ideas like the wands, or feelings, as with the cups or reactions as with the swords. This is the real stuff. Some people think that Pentacles relate to money, but I see it as much more, I see it as the energy represented into the life. Oh yes, the odd time the symbol will say, this is about money, but mostly it is about how everything else is showing up in the life.
The Ace of Pentacles represents a new beginning. A definite new beginning. Something you have wanted to have, achieve or create. Its here now. Let it in. What I love about the Ace of Pentacles is the red roses of desire in the hedge and the white lilies of pure thought in the fields with the pathway leading out towards to mountains (life). Red Roses and White Lilies is aspiration (the symbology shows up in the King of Pentacles, Magician and Hierophant. This new beginning is something you have aspired for.
The two of pentacles is like every number two, balance. Here the juggler is juggling away. When something new comes into your life you have to readjust. You might need to let something go, or rearrange schedules, or whatever it takes it fit it in.
The three of pentacles is the only symbol in the Pentacles which is not colored in. They appear in the stonework on the monastery, while the workman is working away and the monk and the architect, who has the plan is watching, or conferring with the workman. This shows the need for the new project to be worked on, but at the same time others have an investment. In this symbol it is important to identify which person you, or whom you are reading for is. The workman, the monk or the architect.
In the four of pentacles it shows what happens when we finally get what we want. We hold on tight. Too tight. Life does no work well with tight. The more hold on (remember in the three/four/five of cups what happens) the same here. We need to be open, to allow change, to let go.
Then if we don't then the five of cups, where two people are out in the snow, and not going into the warmth of the church behind them. How often we don't do things because society says you are not welcome, or you cannot open your mind enough to believe you could do something. This symbol represents being left out and you feel left out.
Then in the six of pentacles these two people who were out in the snow are now begging from the merchant. The six pentacles are up in the sky, and the Merchant is handing coins to one. If you look closely at the merchants hands he is holding some coins back (the farmer always keeps his seeds back for planting - or in other words you never give everything away). His hand gesture is the same as in the ten of swords and the Heierophant. The second person has the justice scales over his head and is waiting to see if he will get his reward too. In the background is the castle of dreams (goals) so the goal is close at hand.
Now as you reach the seven of pentacles, you are back working away and have been achieving, but you are tired, like you are not going to get there, so you rest on your shovel. Although the leaves of grapes (abundance) is there, there is no actual grapes, so you have not reaped your reward yet. Here you need to encourage to keep going, that you are nearly there.
Then you reach the eight of pentacles, where you are working quite happily in front of your castle (goal) and you display the works you have done.
This will lead you to the nine of pentacles, where you are in the garden of the castle, with abundance all around. I find though, this can be limiting. The two trees on either side of the garden,. the hawk the lady holds all speak of confinement, having it all, some with some reservations.
In the ten of pentacles, you have an older man on the outside of the castle wall, dressed in a robe with metaphysical designs and inside the castle are the man, woman and child. The man and woman appear to be speaking, the child has his hand on the tail of one of the dogs, while the old man has his hand on the head of the other. On the wall is the wand of will and authority (from the Chariot). In front of everything the ten pentacles are placed in the design of the tree of life. It is all there available to them. I always think they just have to go get it. I always remember that number ten is also a number one - new beginnings.
The Page of Pentacles is like all pages. Absorbed in his pentacle. Not aware of the beauty around him so needs to be more aware.
The Knight of Pentacles is another procrastination symbol (When you get King of Wands, Queen of Cups with the Knight of Pentacles - or any combination of the two, you have procrastination). His sturdy horse looks out over plowed fields needing to be planting. Sometimes on needs to wait for the right time, but as this is an attitude, one must be careful they do not make too much of a habit of waiting.
The Queen of Pentacles sits under a rose brier, which goes right over the top of her as she contemplates her pentacle. Abundance is all around especially by the rabbit close by. She is accepting of what is as she contemplates her life.
The King of Pentacles sits in the battlements of his castle and is crowned with the roses and lilies,the flowers found at the bottom of the Magician symbol. He wears a robe of grapes and grape leaves (abundance). He has his pentacle in is left hand, over his left knee, which is encased in iron (the fight of life) resting upon an armadillo (his subconscious). In his right he holds the world. He has it all understood.
By understanding the journey of the pentacles you can see how you take the new opportunities and work it into your life being flexible, because it changes.

Tarot - The Swords
This last Thursday in the class Tarot for Successful Living, we studied the journey of the Sword symbology. The Swords relate to the element Air. The intellect. How we see things, how we respond to things . Therefore the Swords show how we respond to the problems, challenges, grief and sadness etc.
The Ace of Swords is the one in which we need to understand fully, as it shows what to do whenever we have a problem/challenge or issue arise. Whatever it may be we always have a choice. We have a choice of either facing it, and deciding what we want to do with it, or we can choose to ignore - two of swords -. The important part here is to know if you do not choose to deal with it directly, while whatever it is is small and present, the journey that follows awaits.
In the two of swords, it shows how we just don't want to see. The woman sits with her two swords across her heart. The river of life behind her has a couple of rocks protruding above the water and in the distance is another shore. How often we do this will determine how often we are exercising our right to be able to choose effectively. Be open to what is occurring and not sitting and waiting for everything to go away.
In the three of swords, a heart with three swords piecing it it demonstrates the hurt, pain, disappointment and grief we will experience if we have not dealt with the original issue. All of us who have lived for a wee while have experienced this. Sadness comes, and it is part of life. It is how we handle it which is important.
Therefore, the four of swords shows how we can deal with the pain. That is to go inside and resolve it within. A knight lies down with one sword underneath him and the three on the wall above. It is the window, up in the left hand corner, a stained glass window showing a woman and child (it has a black line between them). Inner communication is important here. Go inside, be quiet within and resolve the issue.
If you do not do that, then you will be at the five of swords. More confusion and more defensive behavior. Here we once again are holding onto our pain, and choosing to last out, defend, or do whatever it needs to to resolve, rather than protect and fight.
Once again the sword symbology shows how to resolve, here in the six of swords, the man is propelling his boat across the river (seen in the two of swords). Inside the boat are six swords (not piecing the bottom of the boat) a woman and child (see in the window of the four). In the front right the water is rough, but where they are heading the river is quiet. This action is taking you away from what has been bothering you, and you will reach the other side. You just need time.
If you choose not to do this, but rather hold onto your pain, your grief, then the seven of swords takes over, wherein, you choose to hold on and feel more isolated and away from everything that could and will support you. Here a man steals away with all his swords, not holding them very comfortably (reminder of the ten of wands where the man does not hold his wands well either).
By choosing this course of action, you will arrive at the eight of swords, where you are stuck and feeling like you will never get to where you want to be. I love this symbol because of the promise of the castle (the goal) right behind (just as in the five of cups). The woman is tied to a stake (unseen) while three swords on left side and five swords on the right side are stuck in the ground. The woman is bound loosely, her blindfold is loose (wherein in the two of swords is quite tight). In front of her the river of life is just a few puddles. If she was to make some movement, she could easily remove herself from this stake, turn around and see what she wants is right there.
If you do not do any action, then you come of the nine of swords. Here the woman is lying on a bed, with nine swords on her black wall. She has her face in her hands (she cannot see). On her bed is a bedspread of red roses of desire and astrological symbols. Underneath her on the bottom part of the bed is a sculpture of a man being killed by another. He has been struck down with a sword. Here it is important to get up out of the bed, use the energy of desire and begin resolving the problems etc, that are on the wall. I usually recommend people begin with small things, so they build in success. So often we begin with the big things and therefore fail. We must go step by step resolving these issues until the are no more.
Because if not, then the ten of swords takes over. In the ten of swords the man is lying on the sand in front of the river of life. He has nine swords up his back and one beside his head. Behind him is the river of life, and the background is the dark moving upward while the light, is beginning to shine through. This is the end. The man lying on the sand has his hand in a position, which is a benediction, which is also seen in the six of pentacles and the Hierophant. If you do not take care of your issues, they will take care of you, and as there are no endings, only beginnings, you will move forward. You will move into the new....
The court cards of the swords, also shows the defensive aspect of us. How we protect ourselves.
The Page of Swords is in a defensive stand. Holding his sword up in the air while his arm is across his heart. In the sky is ten birds flying in a formation of a fish (the early Christian sign).
The Knight of Swords is reactive. His horse is rushing forward over rough ground, he has his sword upraised, you can tell by the trees in the background he is going against the wind the ten birds are now scattered so only five are visible. (The Hierophant).
The Queen of Swords, looks open, as she sits on her throne, with her beautiful butterfly crown. The sylph of air is on her throne with a butterfly and crescent moons facing outward. She holds her sword in her right hand, while her left is raised to welcome. She can be seen as defensive, holding the swords to protect, or she can be seen as a person who will do what it takes to achieve what she wants. She has one bird in the sky (Magician).
The King of Swords, I have found over the years is very logical, you must make sense. He does not relate to emotion. His Sword is at an angle, showing he is open (must logical though). His butterfly behind him is encased within the crescent moons (his beauty - open heart is not shown). He has two birds in the sky, (High Priestess) showing he has choice. He can choose to be stubborn, or open.
I have always enjoyed the journey of the Swords because when I first began to study the journey I realized there is lots of ways in which we can get back to having everything work out the way we want. Putting aside pride, stubbornness, rightness etc. We need to be clear in ourselves and with others. Communication both inner and outer is so important. Not to defend our hearts but to open our hearts. To be able to admit to being wrong if we are, or at least saying we made a mistake. Yes, the swords show how our live can be so much better. When reading for yourselves, watch which sword symbols come up. Some are tremendously powerful in advising how we can resolve issues.

The Ace of Swords is the one in which we need to understand fully, as it shows what to do whenever we have a problem/challenge or issue arise. Whatever it may be we always have a choice. We have a choice of either facing it, and deciding what we want to do with it, or we can choose to ignore - two of swords -. The important part here is to know if you do not choose to deal with it directly, while whatever it is is small and present, the journey that follows awaits.
In the two of swords, it shows how we just don't want to see. The woman sits with her two swords across her heart. The river of life behind her has a couple of rocks protruding above the water and in the distance is another shore. How often we do this will determine how often we are exercising our right to be able to choose effectively. Be open to what is occurring and not sitting and waiting for everything to go away.
In the three of swords, a heart with three swords piecing it it demonstrates the hurt, pain, disappointment and grief we will experience if we have not dealt with the original issue. All of us who have lived for a wee while have experienced this. Sadness comes, and it is part of life. It is how we handle it which is important.
Therefore, the four of swords shows how we can deal with the pain. That is to go inside and resolve it within. A knight lies down with one sword underneath him and the three on the wall above. It is the window, up in the left hand corner, a stained glass window showing a woman and child (it has a black line between them). Inner communication is important here. Go inside, be quiet within and resolve the issue.
If you do not do that, then you will be at the five of swords. More confusion and more defensive behavior. Here we once again are holding onto our pain, and choosing to last out, defend, or do whatever it needs to to resolve, rather than protect and fight.

Tarot - the Cups
Thursday night saw us visiting the journey of the Cups. The Cup symbology relating to water, the emotions, the value of life, whether you are happy or sad.
The Ace of Cups has always been my favorite symbol right from the beginning. I love what is symbolizes. The acceptance of the sacrament by the dove of peace, wherein the cup overflows in the five senses. Twenty six droplets of water fall away, 2 + 6 = 8, the Strength card. Then in the water below 13 lily pads, the Death symbol, representing rebirth, and 10 water lilies, the Wheel of Fortune, symbolizing action. I refer to this card as a new attitude, but it is so much more. It is the accepting of the force of life and utilizing it into our lives.
In following the journey, when we accept the force of life into our lives we encounter the two of cups, the balancing of the yin/yang principle. Male/Female, balanced, creating healing and balance. I always think it shows how important communication, both externally and internally is. This then brings you to the three, where happiness abounds. How happy we are when everything works. Therefore, to me, the first three symbols, One, Two, Three, show how we can live happily. But we are humans and do we do things easily, not always. No. Four shows how we can get caught up in our happiness, and forget that everything changes and instead of allowing the changes to occur naturally, we shut them out and concentrate on what we have. When we do that, No. Five follows, that which we have concentrated on falls over, is lost and we begin to grieve for what was. What I love about this symbol, is that is shows if we would just turn around (be open) we would find there are two more symbols waiting which shows us the way to what we want. Always brings to mind, when one door closes another opens. Or as someone said to me once, when all the doors appear closed, look for a window. No. six shows that we need to put the past in perspective, so we can move forward, yet No. seven (the beginning of the imagination pattern) shows the tendency is often to blow things up in our minds out of proportion as we look ahead. Therefore, No eight, says, leave it all behind and move ahead into the known using your strength and ability to keep moving towards your goal. No. nine, says you have reached it, but remember life is full of changes, so don't be too smug or wait too long before moving on. No. 10, shows happiness for all, which is what we all want.
The Court Cards, shows the attitudes of the Page, getting caught up in the unexpected and needs to be more flexible and open. The Knight, is how all us need to be, when we move forward, slow and sure. The Queen is another imagination symbol, lost in her dreams and desires. The King is in command of his emotions and feels he is right in what he does. Sometimes comes across quite cool and detached because of that.
As you explore the Cup journey you begin to realize how wide a range our emotions are. How fluid they are, moving from one feeling to another. What we need to realize, is this is how our body speaks to us, through feelings and we need to be able to listen and work with them. Not live in the past, but the present enjoying all that is presented to us and working towards our goals with ease.
Enjoy!

Tarot - Wands
Last week the eight week Tarot for Successful Living class began. We have one person attending on Skype. That was a new learning curve for all of us, especially as we had this wave sound which came in from time to time. The first time it was so loud that we were not sure what was happening. But, we got used to it, and knew that when it happened Jennifer, on the other end, would not hear one word of what we were saying. It added a bit of adventure to the evening. And for those who are thinking, why not disengage and reconnect. It was not that often, and it did not happen for the first hour. But it was interesting. We will see how it goes tonight.
Last week we had the introduction, the homework etc, and we explored the journey of the Wands. The Wands to me is the thinking process. Relates to the element of fire, which is action, doing. Everything begins with a thought and the Wands show us how we think.
The most appropriate way to work with our thoughts is found in the first four symbols. It basically says, You have a new thought, you contemplate that thought, you project the thought (action) and then you reach the reward of the thought (the goal). It would be nice if it was that easy. Then the following six symbols show what we tend to do, and how get out of it. Five shows how we scramble our thoughts and get confused. Six shows we need to 'straighten' them out and go ahead. Seven shows how we can feel unsure of our thoughts (the beginning of the defensive program) and eight shows that the thoughts have not manifested yet but are on there way. Nine shows how we can become rigid with our thoughts and defend them no matter what, while Ten shows how we worry, or over think and miss things because our thoughts are not organized effectively.
I always love going through the journey of these symbols. It keeps me in touch with myself and my own thoughts plus of course clients.
Think about what you are doing with your thoughts. Are you thinking of your goals, keeping yourself aware of possibilities, or are you unsure, confused and wishing for the miracle, but not planning for the miracle. Miracles do occur, I'm sure everyone of us has experienced them at some time or other. We forget.
Our thoughts create our vibration, our vibration attracts what we are thinking. Often though we are not aware of many levels of thoughts we may have. But of that to come. Tonight I teach the Cups and will write on that tomorrow, as I am not back to writing on my blog.
Blessings to you all.
Enjoy your thoughts!

Catch Up Time!
This last weekend I drove to Vancouver and back, almost a miracle seeing two months ago I was having trouble driving to Kelowna. This is the power of a product I began taking just 2 1/2 months ago. Its called Jusuru and made with 60% BioCell Collagen, plus flavoured with 13 different fruits, including magnosteen, which I used to take before. This product, took me from lying down 24/7 and everything I did being a difficult. Plus I used to wake up at night groaning and moaning so my sleep was totally disturbed. Now 2 1/2 months later, no aches or pains (they left the first month). Sleep is good and I have energy to do what needs to be done.
This product has only been available in the US for 2 years, and here since July. The amazing stories I hear about how it has helped people, especially with arthritic joint pain and skin disorders is amazing. The side benefit for me, is an already younger looking face. My massage therapist has told me that my skin is actually changing color (getting healthy). I even have some 'moles' dropping off. I cannot say enough about this product and how it has changed my life in the last few months.
Health Canada has just come out with their licensing stating that Jusuru "helps relieve joint pain from osteoarthritis - hip & knee. Helps maintain healthy skin. Helps metabolize fats and proteins. Helps develop and maintain bones, cartilage, teeth & gums. Helps connective tissue form. Helps healing wounds. An antioxidant to maintain good health." Everyone knows how hard Health Canada is...but here it is stating: Helps... It is exciting to think that Health Canada appreciates the benefits of this product in relieving pain amongst other benefits. If you would like to learn more you can visit: My Jusuru site or to learn more and hear testimonials
As I'm beginning to 'feel' so much better and have energy to do things, like catching up with bookkeeping and straightening up different rooms in my home. I also am back teaching. I began my Wednesday night drop in meditation/discussion group before I was even 75% feeling better, but we all managed. I have now begun an eight week Tarot for Successful Living Course. Tomorrow (Thursday) will be the 2nd week. It is always good to go over the different symbols again. In fact I always recommend my students re-audit the course as they learn so much more the second or even third time through. I am also going to be doing a once a month three hour workshop. I plan on doing one three hour once a month for the next three months.The first one will happen next month (November) and it is called Transforming Your Blocks.
I have managed to keep enough energy to work with clients. As I was only working with one or perhaps two (as I became stronger) a day I enjoyed the sessions and even though I would go back to resting afterwards I felt fulfilled. Yesterday, I did a crystal ball reading. I usually don't do crystal ball readings in and of themselves, but my client phoned and said she wanted one, so I said OK lets do it. (I usually only use the crystal ball during my psychic parties). It turned out to be a 1/2 hour appointment, and we were both very satisfied with it. Perhaps there will be more in the future.
I'm planning that this is a catch up post, so that I can begin to once again post regularly. I have begun to see movies again (in our brand new local theatre - which I'm so happy about). And I plan on getting back to doing my reviews once again. I thank those of you who have expressed a loss of me not doing them. It is sincerely appreciated.
So until next time, enjoy this Fall weather has it works its way towards Halloween.
Blessings
Norma.

Where does Bullying come from?
For those of you who know me personally, you know I'm a bit of a TV (as well as a movie) addict. As a Glee fan, I found out about The Glee Project TV show during the year, and even though I missed last years show, I have watched this one with great enjoyment. One show though left me feeling unsettled, it was the show on 'bullying'.
This show came on several weeks ago, and its only now I can write what I came up with as my hand will stand up to the typing. Anyway, for several days after the show I contemplated what I had seen, heard and of course my mental computer went into overdrive. What is behind this bullying aspect of life - then it came to me. The Sit Com Shows!!
Why them you may ask? Well, I stopped watching sit com shows many years ago, although I have begun to enjoy The Big Bang Theory. But most of the half hour presumably comedy shows I found were people putting one another down. (I'm told Modern Family is not like that - but I have not got around to watching it regularly).
For years the children of our society have been watching shows in which other people sit around laughing at one person making another person wrong. Why do we need to feel better when another is put down or made to look insignificant as though they do not matter?
In my intensive Plug Into Your Power, I teach the Inferior/Superior Game. How often when you feel hurt or put down (inferior) you will do something to put the other person down, which in turn has you feel superior. This game is not a good game. It hurts everyone, especially yourself because you are in a defensive position and therefore respond either via a reactive (ego/defensive) stance or just a straight knock down and out get out of my face stance.
I truly have come to believe, that the children and many adults believe this put down behavior is acceptable. So today, when bullying becomes an issue they look at the children, but they are not looking at the base cause - Sit Com TV shows. (This attitude is also repeated in many movies - those ones I don' go see either).
Until we as adults make a stand not to support these kinds of shows and make shows where people respect and honor differences (perhaps that is where Modern Family comes in) then we cannot expect our children to see and know the difference.
I want to see bullying end - no matter if it is children or adults. I want to see us respect and honor each other and support each other in our life journey. We are all different and we need to honor that difference so we can honor ourselves.
Let me know what you think.

How often when you feel hurt or put down (inferior) you will do something to put the other person down, which in turn has you feel superior. This game is not a good game. It hurts everyone, especially yourself because you are in a defensive position and therefore respond either via a reactive (ego/defensive) stance or just a straight knock down and out get out of my face stance.
I truly have come to believe, that the children and many adults believe this put down behavior is acceptable. So today, when bullying becomes an issue they look at the children, but they are not looking at the base cause - Sit Com TV shows. (This attitude is also repeated in many movies - those ones I don' go see either).
Until we as adults make a stand not to support these kinds of shows and make shows where people respect and honor differences (perhaps that is where Modern Family comes in) then we cannot expect our children to see and know the difference.
I want to see bullying end - no matter if it is children or adults. I want to see us respect and honor each other and support each other in our life journey. We are all different and we need to honor that difference so we can honor ourselves.
Let me know what you think.

July and What It Brings!
Finally my left hand is beginning to get better and I can type for more than a few minutes without pain. In fact, overall I'm so much better, not much pain anywhere except a bit in my shoulders from time to time and my gout finger, hand and wrist. When I first got the medication for gout I could not take it. It made me really ill, so decided I wouldn't and attempted the natural way, black cherry juice and celery seed tea. After a couple of weeks, there was no visible sign of improvement, in fact it was looking more swollen and more painful so decided to 'try' the medication again. This time it worked, did not feel ill, in fact felt fine. Then I realized when I first began taking it, I still was not very well and was eating very little. This is medication you need to take with food. Before I was not eating enough food so it was upsetting my stomach. Now that I'm feeling so much better I'm eating more and I was 'smart' enough to realize I needed to coat my stomach wall, so ate bread, and its fine.
I'm doing so much better, as already stated. Between my lympathic massage therapist and the Feldenkrais therapist I have made a big stride forward. I will be taking the blood test Monday to see if I'm still anemic or not. I still get tired and often have an afternoon nap.
What is interesting though is now I'm feeling better, the days seem longer and I'm not sure what to do with myself. Now that my hand is beginning to get better I can begin to work on projects, ie the blog.
So here I sit outside on my porch, protected from the sun (which is finally here again) and typing away. Listening to the birds, and enjoying the 'summer' feel. July is always an interesting month for me as its my birthday month and I feel a landmark in the year. I usually have a pot luck barbecue to celebrate the summer and birthdays, but so far this year I have not organized one, as I don't know how the energy is going to be etc. My birthday weekend will have my daughter Bridget and a friend of hers visiting (there maybe more) and I think that will be enough for me to handle until I'm 100% fully together.
I began going to the local Penticton Market last week. A friend and grad Cristin and I have gone 1/2s on a booth there, and her daughter is setting up and taking down my side of things, so all I have to do is show up around 10.00am and work till I get tired. Last week there was horrendous thunderstorms and I managed to be there between them, but everything was quite damp, plus no so many people due to the rain, but this week - tomorrow - there will be lots of lovely sunshine, and therefore lots of people. This market has a phenomenal reputation. Hopefully a few people will want readings.
I have had some interesting 'clearing' sessions this week.Always amazes me what blocks we have inside, but the miracle is that we can clear them and move on with our lives. I received a phone call two days ago from a client, saying thank you, everything was going nicely since our session. One always like to receive those.
I also am leading my Wednesday night Drop In Group again. The group remarked on how every week I'm stronger etc. Oh yes, it is a wonderful barometer as to how I'm progressing.
I pulled three cards for this blog. It s a message for us all. 10 Wands, 10 Swords, Magician. Quit worrying, or over thinking because the issues are nearly over and you are close to your goal. Everything is ready for you to proceed ahead, you have everything you need. So go to it.
Well the wrist is saying enough....so must close!
Enjoy the month of July!
Norma.
PS well enough to go to the movies, so soon the movie blog will be back in style too.

Mid June catchup
For me it is hard to believe it is June 18th. I had intended to blog quite regularly, as I recuperate and get stronger. Then I had my wrists and hands become sore, especially my left hand, which made it hard to type for any extended period. Finally I was diagnosed with gout in my knuckle of the fore finger on my left hand. The Dr. gave me some pills which made me feel very ill so stopped taking them and resorted to the web. Cherries and Celery Seed Tea, which I have been eating and drinking, plus I have been putting Caster Oil on at night (that I thought of myself seeing Caster Oil seems to be an Edgar Cayce must). Seems to be working, as it feels a little better and not so swollen.
What is strange is that everything they say contributes to gout I do not do. I do not drink alcohal, I do not drink coffee, and I have basically have not had any red meat. So have come to the conclusion it has something to do with my lympathic system, which I'm also working with.
Last Thursday I went and had my first visit with a Feldenkrais Therapist and found that very interesting and I'm back there again this morning. I left feeling there maybe hope. After all these months I was beginning to wonder, but Lynn, the therapist gave me what I thought was a 'right on' synopsis of what had happened to me. So lets see what happens with the next few sessions. If I can get back to 'normal' I will be so happy.
In the meantime, I have begun my Wednesday night drop-in evenings again, and plan on going back into the market - with help from my friend Crista and her daughter. That will begin the long weekend in July. I will see how I do. I'm still having trouble sitting for longish period of time, and hopefully the Feldenkrais sessions will solve that problem - along with the lympathic massages I'm doing.
Anyway, enough of illnesses and recovery - seems like many of us are going through stuff though, as I had a call from a friend who I have not spoken to for ages and she also had been facing health challenges. Maybe it is our age....those of us who have lived hard working or doing, being brought up short....giving our nervous systems a break.
I have had some interesting clients lately. One who I have worked with to the point of not seeing too much more I could do, suddenly showed that she had been 'cursed' when she was little by another girl at school. I could see it quite plainly. What was interesting, is that we could not figure out why the work was not holding or that my client was not able to maintain the feeling she was wanting to experience. All of a sudden I could see it plain as day. So releasing the energy thrown at her, will make the difference. It will be easier now.
Also, another client showed that part of her issue was held on her soul. What emerged was there was great sorrow on her soul as she had to leave her original planet as it was dying and she knew that it would never be the same again. This she brought to earth and of course then began to create sorrow here. What a relief to have that gone. She is now beginning to feel joy.
Oh yes, I do love my work. I have had several readings around relationships lately. Often needing to advise that they were not going to work. That is always sad, as we want to hear what we want to hear. But in the end they always feel better as they ACCEPT what they know inside is true, but want it different.
Well my hand is really hurting, so must go.
Lots of love to all!
Norma.

June first - thoughts
Tomorrow will be June 1st. Seems only a short while ago we were welcoming the New Year. January 1st. I remember I was wondering if I was going to make my trip to New Zealand and fulfil what I had set up there. Then on Feb 3rd I was on the plane flying away. March 18th saw me return back home having fulfilled what I had set out to do, but I returned not physically well at all. Now it is nearly three months later and I'm only now beginning to feel ready to begin my Wednesday night groups, plus consider doing more than one thing per day. Its been a long journey and its not completed but I'm getting there.
Interestingly in the Fall three people told me my whole life would be different come the end of May. You can imagine where my thoughts went! Well here is the end of May and yes my life is different. I have not been able to go and complete my activities this Spring, I'm still having to rest quite a lot. My regime has changed and I certainly am having to consider I'm not 45 or even 55 anymore. I'm not sure how this will look when its totally completed, but the journey I have been on has certainly made some changes to my outlook and considerations.
Before sitting down to type, I went to my Tarot Cards and asked what to consider for June 1st, the the symbology I picked was The Tower, King of Swords and King of Pentacles. Wow, I thought what am I going to do with those three so here goes:
"No matter what life brings you, when it comes in unexpectedly you will need to let go of your preconceived ideas and concepts and not hang onto them for dear life. Be open to embrace remembering that life is always wanting you to succeed. It want you to grow and become all of who you are. It is the restriction of hanging on and not free flowing which can be difficult and create more bumps in the road. Free flow, that's the key, knowing you are in command of your life and can recreate all that you want."
As I wrote this it reminded me of a client I recently had whose reading looked really good. Yes there was a transition, but it was close to the end. Everything looked upward, free flowing. But something was blocking. It was my client, herself not wanting to let go. She had been in an accident and the results were that she would not be the 'same' as she was before. As our conversation went on, I said "have patience, let go and know it will come to an end. If I did not see that I would be speaking to you differently." She was the issue, not life. Life was continuing at the pace it needed to. She didn't want it that way though, she wanted it like it was and it wasn't going to be.
This was a reminder for me to know my life would not be like it has been. I have to watch myself so I do not over schedule etc, but also I need to be looking ahead knowing life is full of surprises which can be great, and no matter the circumstances, one can overcome and be happy and fulfilled.
All I can say in relation to June 1st....bring it on. I will accept, let go and go forward.
Enjoy

Are you using your mind, or are you on auto pilot
Recently I have had several clients who due to the amount of releasing work with me, do not have a lot to clear any more. Instead what we are working on is their conscious minds. Having their conscious minds begin to take command instead of being on auto pilot.
What does that mean? Well, when teaching my intensive "Plug Into Your Power" after learning the Tarot and the philosophy it tells us, I teach about consciousness. How important it is to know what you are thinking, as that is how the universe responds. Of course it is much more than just thinking, (the wand symbology of the Tarot) it is how much energy you put behind your thoughts (the cup symbology) and how you respond to situations (the sword symbology).
Most of us are on auto pilot. The habits of thinking, feeling and responding are not thought about. We just respond in the same old way. You know the saying "if you do the same old thing, you will get the same result". Yes, we need to change our response to situations, we need to become aware of what we are thinking. We need to be sure our thoughts are reflecting what it is we want.
We have all heard this, we think we understand and know it. As you are aware I have not been well these last few months and I discovered when you are not well, your thinking begins to slip. You forget your goals, you forget what it is you want to feel in relation to you life. I guess I had to be brought back to zero in order to remember some basics.
Interestingly at the same time, several clients were needing to get their consciousness to work. Some to move beyond anxiety, some to create a new life, and some just to remember they can go for it.
I would suggest you look at your life and see if there are any areas in which you are gliding along on auto pilot, just accepting what ever is coming your way. It does not have to be like that.
For those of you who have my book Secrets for Living Happily, reread it. It has lots of goodies about becoming conscious and getting back on top of the 'thinking process'.
Enjoy

Getting Back to Blogging
Here it is over two months since I returned from New Zealand. I'm finally well enough to sit here and write on my blog. Its been a long two months and its not totally over. But, I'm feeling better and can now expend the energy to type a few words bringing you up todate.
When I arrived back from NZ I was in quite a bit of pain in my arm muscles, leg muscles and unable to lift my arms over my head. I was also just tired out. Through a visit to my Dr and examining how I was with my massage therapist, we came to the conclusion that when I had some hot stone massages while in NZ, they released toxins into my body (which it is meant to do), but because of my travelling I did not drink enough water to help my body clear the toxins and they got stuck in my muscles. So far that is still the best explanation I have had, which makes sense to me.
I have spent time with the Chiropractor, who helped a lot, and my massage therapist who is 1 hour away from me (so a good friend drove me there and back). One of the reasons for this is because I have not been able to sit for very long. Long enough to service my clients. Long enough to check my emails every day, but mostly I have spent the days lying down. Sleeping was difficult because of the aches and pains, pains especially in my shoulders. But since last Monday I visited a friends massage therapist here in Penticton and she worked with my shoulders in a different way and the pain subsided. Thank goodness, as it helped with my sleep.
During this two months it was also discovered that I was anemic and even with a course of iron pills from the last blood test I still am. So still on iron and other vitamins and minerals. These seem to help me feel a lot better, but not clear the aches and pains. It seemed every time I got to feeling well and had some energy everything came back and it was like I was back in the beginning. The last few days I have been feeling better so let's hope this time it lasts.
Oh yes, seeing I'm going on about my health, three weeks ago the aches and pains in my arms moved down into my wrists and then hands, especially my left one. This meant when I awoke my hands were almost useless for quite a few hours and then as the day went by they got stronger. The last two days my right one seems almost normal, and my left one is sore. Typing this is certainly a strain for it. I'm sure you can imagine the panic that put into me - my hands - handling tarot cards etc. But I managed.
I thought it was time I began once more to post. For those of you who follow the movie blog I have not been able to sit long enough to go to a movie. I may try one this afternoon - will have to see.
But thanks to many friends who have been sending healing, my health practitioners, hopefully I will be fully mended soon. As it was I have had to cancel everything I had planned. Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver all had to be cancelled I just could no get there plus I did not have the energy to do what I had planned on doing. The only thing I have been doing, as stated is attend to my clients. When the phone rings I'm there. Usually one maybe two clients a day.
I have had some interesting clearing sessions and thoughts lately, so before my left hand totally ceases on me I will stop until next time.
See you soon
Norma.

I'm including the final email I sent to the people of NZ on the day of my leaving. The six weeks has gone very fast, although I have ended up with some discomfort in my shoulders and my hips again. I think part of it is because it is very humid here where I'm used to the dry desert of the Okanagan. Anyway, tonight at 8.15 th plane leaves and the long plane journey will take off. I have been busy here, and enjoyed it. (Not so the painful shoulders). Family, friends, students, all a large part of making my trip enjoyable. Come next week I'll be back home getting 'sorted' out from the trip and hopefully pain free.
This was what I sent to the N.Z. mailing list:
This evening I am getting on the plane and heading home to Canada. I have so enjoyed these last few weeks here in New Zealand. I have discovered new friends, and trustingly you will stay in contact.
Although I did some private consultations, my teaching/lecturing circuit began in Auckland with the Tarot Guild, where we had a day of 'Court Cards' and other bits and pieces. Thank you all for the feedback it is always appreciated.
A few days later I was flying to Napier were within three days, I faciliated two groups, one workshop and two lectures. A busy time, plus managed to fit in some readings and a clearing. Thanks to Karen who drove me to Palmerston North I was able to catch up with another friend Helen, and faciliated another group on the Tuesday night before flying back to Auckland for a day of rest and then off to Russell.
I have a niece who lives in Russell and although small in numbers we had two groups, one workshop and a day of readings and clearings.
Back to Auckland to my brothers to complete some shopping, spend a day with the Tarot Guide people faciliating two groups and then a couple more readings and then wow its time to get ready for the plane.
No matter what the group was, "Channelling Your Guide" or a "Psychic Party" everyone seemed to enjoy. Then the past life regression workshops always brings interesting lives.
I know as I leave these shores once again as usual my heart is sad, but my other life awaits. I'm sure it won't be too long before I'm back.
Please stay in touch, I'm always available by email, my blogs from time to time and you can always check out my website [Norma's website](http://www/normacowie.com) or the blogs: the regular one [norma cowie blog](http://www.normacowie.blogspot.com) or my movie reviews [movie reviews](http://www.moviereviewswithnormacowie.blogspot.com)
Kia Ora with Love!

Although I did some private consultations, my teaching/lecturing circuit began in Auckland with the Tarot Guild, where we had a day of 'Court Cards' and other bits and pieces. Thank you all for the feedback it is always appreciated.
A few days later I was flying to Napier were within three days, I faciliated two groups, one workshop and two lectures. A busy time, plus managed to fit in some readings and a clearing. Thanks to Karen who drove me to Palmerston North I was able to catch up with another friend Helen, and faciliated another group on the Tuesday night before flying back to Auckland for a day of rest and then off to Russell.
I have a niece who lives in Russell and although small in numbers we had two groups, one workshop and a day of readings and clearings.
Back to Auckland to my brothers to complete some shopping, spend a day with the Tarot Guide people faciliating two groups and then a couple more readings and then wow its time to get ready for the plane.
No matter what the group was, "Channelling Your Guide" or a "Psychic Party" everyone seemed to enjoy. Then the past life regression workshops always brings interesting lives.
I know as I leave these shores once again as usual my heart is sad, but my other life awaits. I'm sure it won't be too long before I'm back.
