My mother-in-law Charlotte passed away a few weeks ago, at the ripe old age of 98. She had led a good, useful life and was a practical, strong minded, intelligent woman who was one of the first full time High School guidance counselors in New York City. Sometimes in life we are given an extra gift and that’s what I felt when I met Charlotte. From the very moment we met she was my ally, and throughout the years she proved this again and again, with her kindness and concern for my welfare…

“I had spent many hours and many days enjoying the atmosphere in Watkins Books when I lived in London. The new website offers a “Spiritual Map” of London, that anyone can contribute to. In that spirit, I would like to add to my sort of “Holistic Map” of what the internet has to offer: locally, throughout the U.S. and abroad.”

“I highly recommend this newsletter! Dr. David Williams & Alternatives Newsletter continues to knock out ailments and diseases in every monthly issue. Dr. Williams continues to criss-cross the globe, finding out why the Japanese are winning the fight against cancer and how the Israelis are whipping the flu.”

I was so impressed with the first treatment from Mitzi that I decided to see her on a regular basis. That was years ago, and since then I have seen a vast improvement in my vitality and health. Mitzi uniquely blends the practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu, the ancient art of balancing body, mind and spirit, into her work, from her twenty years of experience.

This month marks the 11th anniversary of my mother’s passing, and I find myself thinking about her a lot. It seems to be a summer of remembering: last month I was reminded of my father’s birthday on the Fourth of July , and now I’m thinking of my other parent. She, more than anyone, had a tremendous influence on me that continues to this day. My mother was a psychic from a long line of gifted seers, and she taught me how to use my own psychic gift as well.

Growing up in England, the Fourth of July was not a national holiday and there were no fireworks. Still, as a child, it was a special day for me as it was my father’s birthday. I remember summer breaks from school, long walks with my father across the Devonshire moors, and coming back to the house for a special birthday tea with scones and clotted cream made by my Grandmother.

Just recently I completed what is known in Qi Gong as a 100 day “gong” or practice of doing the same exercise, every day without fail. I had been doing Qi Gong off and on for a year or two, but a few months ago I decided that if I was going to gain the benefits of this practice, I really needed to do it every day. I had been reading and studying the online courses… and I finally I decided to make the commitment to a 100 day practice.

December 21st, 2012, a.k.a. the End Of Time – If you’re like me, you’ve been reading about and anticipating this day for many, many years, and now it’s finally here! So what exactly does the “End Of Time” mean? What are we supposed to expect?

I’m in the middle of reading “The Mind’s Own Physician – A Scientific Dialogue with the Dalai Lama on the Healing Power of Meditation,” and I can’t recommend it strongly enough…. Having been a regular meditator for years, I’ve watched with great interest as the scientific community has studied, and ultimately endorsed, this age old ancient healing practice.
