Sunday, April 6, 2008: Animal Communication Workshop

ANIMAL (Interspecies) TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP

SUNDAY, APRIL 6
   10 am-4 pm
 $120

Presented by: Sue Kenyon (bio and recommended reading)

Have you ever wondered:

  • What your dog was really thinking?
  • If your cat was in pain but couldn’t tell you?
  • Why your rabbit had a sudden behavior change?

IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Basic skills for connecting with other species
  • To deepen your relationship with all of nature
  • To open your heart center and quiet your mind
  • To be receptive to intuitive messages
  • To trust your inborn and natural abilities
  • To “hear” in a new way
  • To discern if “it’s real” or “made up”

BRING A PHOTO OF YOUR ANIMAL FRIEND

 

“What is telepathic communication?

Very simply – tele refers to distance and pathy refers to feeling. So telepathic communication involves the ability to feel another across a distance. More than anything else, telepathy is a connection, a direct link to the soul of all beings. It’s a mindful, yet “mind-less” understanding – a knowing of what the other is thinking, feeling, experiencing, so directly that one being almost becomes the other.”

Penelope Smith, Animal Talk

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED: 914-669-0888 OR 914-629-6555

Lunch break 1 hour – bring your own for an informal discussion.

(One-third of all proceeds to benefit Dragon & Crane)

Andrea Candee, one of the country’s leading master herbalists, will share her remarkably successful and unique approaches to the treatment of Lyme Disease.

  • vibrational remedies that dissolve the pathogen completely
  • natural remedies to eliminate  the micro-organisms that piggy-back the lyme-infected tick
  • herbal and nutritional support
  • botanicals for antibiotic side-effects
  • detoxification/cleansing program
  • safe and natural prevention

TESTIMONIALS

We have gone from living an unbelievable nightmare to living a dream come true. JL

I went with a “last hope” attitude. By the end of my program I was finally cured. KC

Andrea gave me a protocol of vibrational remedies... my symptoms fully cleared. PM

Within a short period of time after taking the remedies I began feeling better. CI

After a year of antibiotic treatments for chronic Lyme ...Andrea Candee gave my daughter back her life. AS

Having had chronic lyme disease for over 30 years ... I switched to Andrea’s protocol. I am experiencing a better level of health not felt in years. AW


September 16, 2007: Sunday with Sifu: "MAGIC"

Sunday, September 16, 2007

“MAGIC”

Presenter: Dr. James W. Martin, Chiropractor

What is MAGIC?

IS IT TRUE?

Every animal, vegetable, and mineral transmits a specific vibrational energy and that energy can be detected without the use of mechanical devices.

History often explains things unknown as magic –electricity, photography, magic hatairplanes, rocket ships, images ina mirror, earth as round, etc. 

  • Rachmaninoff, facing writer’s block, went to a hypnotist. Out popped “Piano Concerto #2” (p.s. it is the most famous piano concerto of all time!) MAGIC
  • Solomon’s Ring allowed him to speak with animals! MAGIC

What is MAGIC today?

  • Acupuncture curing alcoholism! MAGIC
  • Chi "the natural energy of the Universe” slowing down blood pressure!  MAGIC
  • Muscle testing helping to diagnose illness before symptoms appear! MAGIC

Dr. Martin will explore the mysteries and marvels around us and discuss the myriad avenues available for healing body, mind, and spirit – and why he believes in MAGIC!

HOAX, MYTH, OR TRUTH
COME AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF – IS IT MAGIC?
