Anytime I feel emotionally triggered by something, that means I’ve got emotional work to do.  It’s the same for all of us.  It usually has to do with forgiveness. There is no shame in that.  We’re all here doing the same thing.  We’re doing it together, so it’s useless to play the Us against Them game.  There is no US that is different from Them.  We are I.  We can’t be offended when someone doesn’t use the same words we use.  In every instance, look past the words to the meaning of what they are trying to convey.  Seek content over form every time.  I don’t care for the word psychic.  If I use words like “spiritual advisor,” then someone who doesn’t know that term will keep looking until she sees the word “psychic.”  So I use the words my clients will be looking for: psychic, clairvoyant, since that is their term for what I do.  Talk to people in their own language.  Meet them where they are.  Seek first to understand.  Twenty years down the road you’ll have the aha that “We Are ALL The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For.” All of us, together.  Really.

Sunday, April 12, 2009.   Happy Easter Sunday. I’m so lazy today, I’m not even going to exercise my brain.  I like having these mindless segments sometimes.  When I get in these moods when I am at work, I usually sign on to Facebook for a few minutes and make some short post and it gives me a breather.  So instead of a blog post today, which I’m too lazy to even think about, and in the spirit of recycling, below are what I’ve posted in Facebook the past week.  In Facebook, when you “make a post”, your photo and your name appears in front of each post:

Andrea de Michaelis  is lazy… eating spinach out of the bag while jasmine brown rice cooks.

Andrea de Michaelis I mixed 3/4 jasmine brown rice with 1/4 Thai red rice tonight. Double yum. I’d lose 20 pounds if I didn’t eat 2 cups of rice every day…she says eating rice.

Andrea de Michaelis chatted with Arielle Ford this morning, got some good info. Continue reading →

Friday, April 10, 2009.    Happy Good Friday.  And happy birthday to me. I love it when my birthday falls at Easter.  I could never figure in advance when Easter would be until I started following the moon phases.  Then I realized it’s always celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the Vernal equinox.  I love the whole idea of resurrection, rebirth, Spring renewal.  I also like that my birthday falls on the 100th day of the year, except on leap years.  It’s not just that I like seeing zeroes at the end of a number, either.  I just like the number.  To me it means whole and complete, 100%, something I strive to be.  100% conscious, that is, 100% of the time.  Ok, all my buddies are laughing themselves silly right now. I didn’t say I was 100% conscious 100% of the time, but at this stage of the game, I can recognize pretty quickly when I start to drift.  I can usually know as soon as I’ve made an unconscious remark, and keep myself from making the next one.  But it wasn’t always that easy.  That’s for sure.

Thursday April 9, 2009.  It’s been a busy week in AndreaLand.  I’ve been finishing up some personal projects which have kept me – surprise – at the computer almost around the clock.  Why would I spend my week off at the computer, where I spend 12+ hours a day working?  How is that different from the magazine work? It’s just a shift in perspective.  In my mind I am in a completely different place, so it barely matters where my body is, if my mind is happy.

Yesterday was my “official” day to water according to the new city rules, so I had the sprinklers and hoses going.  Moving them from bush to tree, it can take all day to get everything watered.  It’s also a welcome break to hear the timer go off, signalling I need to get up from my desk and go outside every hour.  The loquat and mulberry trees are now full of fruit, and full of birds and squirrels clamboring for them.  I took a walk around at sundown yesterday, as I usually do, checking everything out.  There was so much critter activity that I took my dinner outside to the wrought iron table and chair I sit at when I dine al fresco, just to watch the show.

I received this from a Unity minister friend. Now I know why I have a magazine and a blog.  This is what I live for, to pass on news like this and bring minds together for purposes like this.  There are two links for you at the end.  Andrea

Dear Spiritual Awakening Student –    In early February, we, along with other area ministers, attended a reception and presentation at Innisbrook Resort and Country Club at which the featured speaker was Deepak Chopra.  At that event, at Deepak’s request, 1,000 people, including us, stood and took the pledge to support Deepak in something called – The Global Coherence Initiative, in concert with a group of modern day New Thought leaders working under the name of The Evolutionary Leaders Counsel.

Basically, we pledged that night to focus on peace, prevailing in all of the conflicted areas of the world – and to support that peaceful outcome by creating a consistent climate of peace in our own hearts and minds. We found it very easy, especially boosted by the synergistic energy of a group of like-minded people, to make that pledge.  Since then, we have found (no surprise) that maintaining peace in our minds and hearts at all times has its challenges – but – we’ve been working on it.

NOW WE HAVE SOME EXCITING NEW NEWS –
Below is the message we just received from the Evolutionary Leaders Counsel: Continue reading →

Monday, April 6, 2009. The last few days my brother and I have been working on getting some projects finished together, and I now have two new mp3 files online at Andrea’s Self Hypnosis series.  The new files are Stop Smoking and OOBE – You Are Not The Body, which is an astral flight.   It was interesting “proofing” the Out of Body Experience OOBE file and having to listen to it several times through.  I have some interesting experiences I will share with you later.

I was reminded of the incident with my chair that happened in October 2006 The Haunted Chair, Journeys Out Of The Body.   In keeping with my decision to not participate in a recession, these mp3 files are just $10 each.

Happy Monday.  Full moon on Thursday.  Good Friday is my birthday and it’s a “12” year – yay, a lucky 3 for me this year.

Silver Necklace Pod flower

Sunday April 5, 2009. The trees are full of mulberries and loquats and the critters in AndreaLand are having a feast. About a dozen little wrens descended upon the mulberry late yesterday afternoon and it was already full of cardinals and bluejays and squirrels. The tree came alive!  A couple of days before I was sitting on my back porch, just rocking and relaxing.  I can always tell where the cardinals are because the male chirps so loudly.  I could hear him and followed his voice to the silver necklace pod bush, where I saw him doing a song and dance for my cat Izzy down on the ground, yards away.  I thought, now that’s not smart… then I saw the mama cardinal flying to and fro in another part of the yard with straw in her mouth, and I realized it was her mate doing the dance to distract Izzy.
