OUR HELP THROUGH TODAY'S ECONOMIC FINANCIAL CRISIS. USA is quickly becoming a very modified version of itself. On an inner-personal level this looks like all the recapitulation we are all doing in our lives currently. Stepping off of our last newsletter's theme, this is the era of dynamic breakdown and truth. What to do when the sky seems to be actually falling, Chicken Little?
Yes, it is finally arrived ... the sky is truly beginning its descent around us, and what are we doing about it? Well, hopefully we're paying attention to the vast healing opportunities surrounding us and recognizing them for their divine reflection in our lives. Realize that you are the central point to your YOUniverse and that every single thing you are, think, feel and do is you. Momma Bird is kicking the babies out of the nest and saying, "It's time to fly, Little Ones, time to spread your wings and fly." To loosely translate, Buddha's saying, "Our institutions are of our own making, our own creation." Hope you get this one.

This is not about being in fear; please understand our focus. We witness people in a state of panic and fear over what's next; who feel that "Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse," (to quote Lily Tomlin). We are committed to being there for you as a strong support system and guiding Light in what appears to be a lot of darkness for many. So, we are temporarily reducing our prices for our Readings. This is an amazing savings, yet ... people need this now, people need to be able to afford to reach out and get help, get counseling, get advice and support because for many, many people times are truly tough and some have nowhere to turn.
Our new prices are listed in RED. FYI, a Reading can be ordered ala carte and does NOT have to be part of a retreat. If you wish to order a reading with the new prices, please call (928) 300-1236 or email us at vortexjah@shangrilasedona.com.
Many Blessings to you and please, please breathe through these times, recognize everything is really a gift, for we are living in the present, and ... Be Peace Within. We are here to help!

ARTICLE: STRENGHTENING THE PSYCHIC MUSCLE: It's important to address the concept of "veils" or, as some people call them, blocks.

 AUTUMN HOLIDAY RECIPES
These are some of my all-time favorite recipes ... I think you'll love these and will welcome them into your holiday events! As much as possible, please cook or bake with organic or locally grown organic ingredients.
 Banana Nut Loaf Quick Bread
Double this recipe and freeze a loaf; quick breads freeze easily.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shortening (I use coconut oil for an amazingly awesome taste)
1/2 cup sugar (raw is best)
2 organic brown eggs
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
2 ripe medium bananas, cut up
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (or chocolate chips; and then cut back a bit on the sugar) Lightly grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan, set aside. In mixing bowl thoroughly stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and soda, set aside. In small bowl mash bananas with fork (should have aboug 1 cup); stir in milk. Add flour mixture and banana mixture alternately to creamed mixture. Beat til smooth after each addition. Fold in nuts and/or chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in a 350° F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or till wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Turn out and cool in wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.

2 organic brown large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup walnut meats

Mix together everything at once; this will be very stiff. Pour into a large glass baking dish, greased and floured. Bake for 1 hour at 350° F. No frosting needed. Serves a crowd (10).
Berries with Warm Sherry Sabayon
Choose the ripest and sweetest berries available.
1 tablespoon sugar

1 pint mixed berries, cuh as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, hulled and quartered if necessary

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons sherry over berries; let stand, tossing gently once or twice, for about 30 minutes. Combine remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/3 cup sherry, and egg yolks in a small bowl; whisk together. Set bowl over pan of simmering water, and continue whisking until tripled in volume. Frothy, and warm to the touch, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve berries and sabayon together. Serves 4.
