Dear Readers,

May’s flower is the lily of the valley.

It is thought that the month has been named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was linked to the Roman goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May.

In the Irish calendar May 1 is Beltane (Bealtaine), the first day of Summer, and a public holiday is held on the first Monday in May.

As you know PS-Magazine has launched a podcasting website, where you can download as well listen to Psychic & Spiritual podcasts. Please be sure to listen to the broadcasts!

The Diamond Color Meditation — Color Pathway to the Soul by John Diamond, M.D. Dr. John Diamond began his career as a psychiatrist and expanded his training in holistic and alternative medicine so that he could treat “the totality of the sufferer.” After years of clinical practice and research, he developed this program to treat the underlying anguish that he noticed was more fundamental than any disease, illness or pain with which the patient presented. In conjunction with Professor Max Luscher, M.D., who developed the exact colors used in this book, the author has designed this system to overcome the anguish and bring about deep healing.

Merryn’s Musings

Journey to the Wild Divine: A Review

“There is such a mystical place where you will be taught to build bridges with your breath, juggle balls with laughter, open doors with the mind and focus through Zen archery…Combine this enchanted realm of seemingly endless possibilities with the scientifically proven effect of biofeedback. In addition you will be shown how to alter brain activity, lower blood pressure and release muscle tension.”

Sahar’s Column

Interview With Psychic Sahar Huneidi: Neither Flowing Robes Nor Crystal Balls

Journalist, Nahla Al Angeli, found neither flowing robes nor crystal balls; but a healer with a positive outlook on life. “Sahar definitely defies any clichéd image we may have of a psychic or healer. She manages to demystify all the ambiguity we may feel or think about her work; and although the cynic in us may not want to believe that our future can be foretold or that a stranger can heal our hurt and pain, a small voice inside welcomes a short cut to it all.”

Science/Quantum Physics

The Global Consciousness Project “The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) is an international collaboration of researchers extending this research to global dimensions via the Internet…The project uses technology and methods designed to record effects of events that stimulate us to integrate as a world-wide consciousness. Examples include the funeral ceremonies of Princess Diana, the first hour of NATO bombing in Yugoslavia, and a few minutes around midnight on any New Years Eve.” Books

Entangled Minds- Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality by Dean Radin As Radin says, scientists have been aware of entanglement for years, but they’ve treated it as an abstract, theoretical concept with few real world repercussions. According to him, that view is changing now as more and more evidence comes in that this is happening on the “macro” level, not just on the “micro” atom level. Radin and his fellow researchers are in the vanguard of science because they are hypothesizing that entanglement may explain experiences of telepathy, intuition, distance healing, ESP and other “anomalies”.

Movies

One —The Movie. A Contemporary Journey Towards A Timeless Destiny “Perhaps the most inspiring element of this film is the common themes and solutions that came up again and again from every sect, from every spirit. That’s where the oneness comes in — over and over again you hear it: we have to stop living in fear; we have to have compassion and accept all people, for they are us. We have to overcome the dualistic thinking that makes war possible or the notion that one religion is better than another…”

Your Hands Can Heal You!

PRANIC HEALING is a simple yet powerful and effective system of no-touch energy healing originated and developed by GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a “self-repairing” living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself. PRANIC HEALING works on the principle that the healing process is accelerated by increasing the life force or vital energy on the affected part of the physical body.

Conscious Eating

Veggie Burgers Make sure you try out Maria Helena & Marli’s recipe for delicious Veggie Burgers! Especially when you prepare for those Memorial Day barbeques!

Wellbeing & Healing

Keeping Up Your Kidney Energy For Strong Bones

“With the high occurrence of osteoporosis, osteopinea, and other fragile bone conditions, prescriptions for Fosamax and similar drugs are given routinely. There are other alternatives if you are willing to take the time and give this a try. “

“There is a lot of information about future world developments and about how what we think and manifest in this reality has huge repercussions on other multiple planets and dimensions in our galaxy. There is helpful advice about all the changes that are coming — from the disintegration of negative, dark energies to the geological, climatic, and planetary shifts that we may expect. This is fascinating stuff all by itself.”

“… I turned East to feel the stingy winter sun on my face and imagined how these elephants would feel as later that day they would stand outdoors, chain free for the first time in four decades. How would this sun feel to them after two years in a windowless barn, I let the sun wash over my face and felt a thrill and a deep compassion and joy for the happy ending of a battle that took over two years. Ten days later, on February 9 accompanied by a mountain of reporters and news stories, the last of the eight Hawthorn Elephants now renamed the ex-circus divas arrived at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.

Physics of the Soul by Amit Goswami

| by Eugene Kelly

“Goswami provides very detailed and well supported answers to the big questions we all ask. Why are we here? What happens when we die? What is death? and so on. Though many of the answers found in this book only lead to other questions, these questions are easier to think about, they have more substance and leave you feeling more satisfied, safe, and comfortable when considering the more intimidating aspects of death and the afterlife.”
