Click on the pic below to enlarge and read the article. Check out this month’s Take a Break Fate and Fortune magazine on sale now! I was surprised to see me on the front cover too – made my day that did! As quoted from Fate and Fortune’s website “…reader Sandy Cristel reveals how she [...]
Seeing as you are here, you are more than welcome to leave a comment. Obviously, they will be moderated first to cut down on any spam but please stick around and if you have something to say or contribute, then go for it. :)
Also, both my website and blog are designed to be compatible with Mozilla/Firefox. If you are using IE then you may see some displacements here and there, although I have tried my best to fix them some just won't play nice! :)
Time certainly whizzes past when you are having fun! The market stall days are pretty much over now as my beloved and I have secured ourselves a little shop over at
Lytchett Courtyard Craft Centre. It has already undergone a serious facelift and I have to admit it's looking mighty darn fine :). We are hoping to quietly open this weekend but the official opening will be in a couple of weeks to ensure the launch will be a big one and done properly.
The holidays are approaching and I can't wait! Not only will the shop be open but I can also concentrate on providing healing, chakra balancing and also Lenormand Oracle readings - it's all go, go, go and happy, happy, happy!!! w00p!
EEEEK!!!! Did anyone notice? I won't tell if you did..... For those of you out the loop, my site has been down for a couple of days - TOTALLY my fault. I have been so busy with the market stall, I completely forgot to renew my site domain name! As I am not able to get online every single day I had no idea that it had all disappeared into a big cyberspace black hole and disappeared off the face of the universe. Sorry about that!
It has all been sorted now - obviously :)
HOWEVER, IF ANYONE HAS SENT EMAILS TO SANDY@SANDYCRISTEL THIS WEEK AND HAS NOT RECEIVED A REPLY YET, PLEASE RESEND IT. Because of my site being down, any emails to me was not being forwarded to my inbox so I would not have got your messages. Thank you :D
I know! I know! I have been aching to update you all with the latest news but the time is whizzing past way too fast; I can't believe the "Easter holidays" are almost over - wasn't it Yule just a few weeks ago?
The best news is that I am up and running with the planned Market Stall, with my beloved. We are selling all sorts of esoteric goodies - from Native American Talking Sticks to Ouija Boards, Bagua Mirrors, Crystal Trinkets, and of course, a splash of my own Sandy Cristel Spell Kits and Mojo Bags!!!
I will be updating my
Blog shortly with a couple of photos of our stall. On my Store page, it lists the markets we plan to do - but if you are thinking of making a special trip to see me, please email me first to confirm where I will be on that day (even the best laid plans can change last minute).
I have to say I have already met some extremely interesting folk. So far, my fellow market traders have been really welcoming, friendly and warm - it's like a little secret handshake club - I'm loving it!
The weather is brightening up and the days are slowly getting longer. Spring is just around the corner and soon we will be out in T-shirts soaking up the glorious summer sun .... I can't wait!!
The magazine article is actually out NOW in Take a Break's Fate and Fortune Magazine (March issue). The article has been cut down quite a lot from the interviews but I still have a page to myself :). Check out my
Blog if you wish to see more.
Plans for new shop have turned into a market stall. This is the most perfect idea and solution in every way. I really can't wait to start meeting new people in different areas and start getting "out there" to do workshops and healing.
Have a great February, and don't forget Valentines Day is coming up... do something wild but special for your loved one this year - 2010 holds all sorts of exciting secrets... keep the fire alive *wink* ...
Where did the last month go? All I can remember is a blur of happy days rushing past. Things are going from good to fantastic this year. I have so many things in the pipeline including the prospect of actually opening my own shop, that I feel like everything is finally coming together.
I have been doing a few interviews for magazines lately too, which is always fun. Fate and Fortune's Take a Break will be out in February from an interview I did late last year. The interview was about Astral Travel, which I am predicting that my honesty and experiences will be received with mixed feelings by the readers - but I only tell it how it is .... I will put the article on my blog when it comes out.
And, last but not least my beautiful dog, Nico, will be coming out of quarantine on Friday! He has been in quarantine kennels for the last 6 months. The UK has some really strict rules on bringing animals into the country but there was no way I was going to leave him in Germany! I can't wait to have my white wolf back and Friday can't come soon enough. :)
I hope everyone had a lovely Yule/Christmas and New Year!
What a strange and bizarre month so far, and I am not just talking about the weather either - just life in general has been interesting and insightful. The launch of Sandy Cristel went really well and we had such a scream in Poole High Street that day! Since then my feet have hardly touched the ground! At the launch I was giving away half price healing vouchers and I have decided to continue this offer on my website until 2010, seeing as Yule/Christmas is just round the corner.
How ever many hours healing you purchase I will match each hour you buy with a free hour. For instance, if you buy 1 hour healing, I will give you 2. If you buy 2, I will give you 3, and so on. This super offer won't last for long, so take advantage of it and book your sessions now!
So many fantastic opportunities have presented themselves in the last few weeks that I am excited and proud to announce the launch of my new business. I will be offering my healing and readings completely full time from November 2009. To celebrate the launch I will be dressing up on Halloween and will be in the middle of Poole High Street giving out free Oracle readings, free Chakra balance tests and not forgetting giving out hundreds of half price vouchers for healing!!!
My life couldn’t be more perfect right now – the best piece of advice I could ever give to anyone out there is listen to your instincts and follow your heart... It might be tough sometimes but I guarantee, if you remain true to yourself it will all come right in the end.
Great News!!! I am already back online using mobile broadband on my laptop. This means I can use the internet virtually anywhere now. This also means that I can start taking orders for healings, spells and Oracle readings. The only thing I cannot currently provide are spell kits (as my organza bags etc are still packed). Thanks for your patience over the last week and I am happy to be back at work.
This is my last weekend in Germany for probably a good while as next week I am relocating back to my home country, England. Obviously, it is going to take me a few weeks to get settled and sort myself out so I will not be available online during this time. The past 11 years in Germany have been a lot of fun. I have learnt a new culture, a new language and of course made some life long dear friends. However, it is time for me to go home. I will be moving to the Dorset area and I have some exciting plans in the pipeline.... just watch this space :) See you soon, take care everyone! Signing off for a while ...... Sandy x
My trip the UK turned out to be a surprising one at that. I have lived in Germany for over 10 years and things were trundling along, as they do. However, sometimes life throws you a curve ball and you know in your heart you have to follow it and see where it takes you.
I spent two weeks in England. Those two weeks, from the moment I landed, were the most happiest weeks of my entire life to date.
New opportunities, new beginnings and promises of an exciting future were too overwhelming for me to turn down. I found both my heart and my soul whilst there.
I was guided by spirit at every single turn which made my trip ultimate perfection; something, even me, has never experienced before for such a length of time in one go…. and believe me I have had many experiences over the years.
I realised during this trip that my life in Germany was well and truly over and my calling is to start a new life back where I should be, in England.
October is the planned month of the big move. Obviously, I have a lot of things to sort out before I go so I will not be online as much as usual but I will reply to all emails as soon as I can.
Your patience is appreciated. Thank you, Sandy.
Just a short note to let everyone know that I will not be online much until July 2009. I am flying to the UK next weekend for a couple of weeks, and this coming week before I leave is packed full with appointments.
I will also not be available for any healing nor spell work until I return in July. Thank you for your understanding and see you soon.
Take care, Sandy x
So, what's new? Well I am organising a
Brighton Bash for June 20th as I
will be in the UK for a while filming and also seeing some of my
friends. More information about the event is on my
Blog.
Everyone is welcome - it is only a meet up in the Sussex Pub, but it
should be a lot of fun. I know quite a few of my witchy friends will be
turning up - some of them I haven't even met in person yet. Very
exciting!
Today is also the Birthay of my dog, Nico. He is 1 year old today! I
can't believe just how fast the time goes - it has been a while since
my sons were babies and you really do forget just how fast life whizzes
by. All the more reason to grab every opportunity that comes your way
and live your life to the full. Life truly is for living and enjoying
every moment possible, whatever you get up to :)
... p.s. Regarding my skinny jeans for those of you who are
following my weight loss .. yep got in them, wearing them today in
fact... and they are loose! My aim is to lose a further 10 kilos within
the next 6 weeks. But I will be happy with just losing another 7.
I cannot believe it! Since March 15th I
have lost 2 stone (13kg). All I
have been doing is cutting out bread, potatoes and pasta...
unfortunately, they are all my favourite foods but the effects are so
dramatic that it outweighs the craving!
I will let you into a little secret, a big incentive is the fact there
is talks of me popping over to the UK to do some filming for a TV show.
I am not getting myself over excited though because one of my pet hates
and bug bears is being let down. TV work can be very fickle as past
experiences have taught me. Que Sera, Sera.
Coming up in the not too distant future are two more radio
shows, which I love doing because I get to do some live readings. The
last show I did last month (Nocturnal Frequency) was a right corker :).
You can listen to it here
if you wish.
... p.s. I haven't tried on my skinny jeans yet - just in case you were
wondering *grin* :)
Today is the final day of the Easter holidays. It has been a challenging 3 weeks I can say with my two boys off school! However, luckily, the weather has been absolutely wonderful and we have been spending most of the time outside with Nico our dog. The trees are becoming green and the wind is starting to have some warmth to it. I can feel my chakras glowing in delight. I haven't been able to get online much during this period, so I do apologise about not managing to reply to emails as fast as usual. I have a few exciting plans coming in the pipeline but I won't be sharing anything with you just yet until it is set in stone :). I hope that you all had a wonderful break. Take care and bye for now.
So, the clocks went forward an hour last night, which for me is a sign that summer really is on it's way and that the promise of the long cold dark winter months coming to an end is not just some sick joke :) In fact, apart from being a bit rainy, the weather has been marvellous and I have been taking my dog Nico out for long 3 hour walks. I feel so fit at the moment - I have lost a few "winter storage" kilos in the last couple of weeks as well - it is amazing just how much more energy I have. If I keep this up I might just be able to squeeze into my "skinny jeans" this year! Next week from Wednesday is the start of the school holidays for 2 1/2 weeks so I might not be online as much as I would like to be. I hope that you all have a wonderful Ostara and take care - don't over indulge in too much chocolate! mmmmMMMMmmm chocolate ....
As
promised I have just blogged about my visit to the Esoteric Trade Fair
in Trier. I have scanned in my aura photograph and I hope you find it
as fascinating as I do. I have never had my aura photographed like this
before, it was done by reading your energy biosphere and the colours it
reads are placed over a humanoid shape to make the picture. It even
picked up all my chakra energy centres as well. Truly amazing! Visit
My Blog.
This
morning I attended a "Spiritual Breakfast". It was really lovely and
was introduced to some wonderfully spiritual people. Unfortunately, I
only had time to give one healing session and cleansing ritual as my
youngest son took ill and I had to pick him up early from school.
Fingers crossed I don't get it too - sickness bugs are truly the worst!
My life is still dizzy. My Lenormand Oracle program is taking the world by storm and I am having so much fun, I couldn't ask to be any luckier! Last weekend I went to a local concert and I didn't roll in until the early hours of Sunday morning, sigh - I had the most brilliant time and I can't wait to go again next year! Later that Sunday I spent the afternoon at an Esoteric Trade Fair in Trier and it was very interesting - I will be blogging about that in a bit. This weekend has been quiet but I did discover a new type of tea : Rooibos Tea. It is sort of "cinnamon spicy" but really delicious and a very healthy body cleanser. Try it! :)
What a fantastic week! The launch of my ebook has been an amazing success and coupled with my 2 hour Radio Interview with Nocturnal Frequency, this is most definitely the best week of my life. I have also been contacted by a few magazines and I am looking forward to seeing how that pans out. My family have been so supportive, I couldn't ask for better!
Thank you to all those people who phoned into the radio station for free live readings. I realise the readings were short but I hope you got something positive out of them. Next week I plan a well deserved week of pure rest. Of course my daily healings will continue as usual but I will be spending some quality time with my husband and children - I have been neglecting them a little lately - and one thing I cherish more than anything in this life is my family :).
TODAY is a landmark
in the life of Sandy Cristel.
TODAY is the official launch of my ebook to the public:
“Sandy
Cristel’s Interactive Lenormand Oracle programme”.
TODAY is the start of an exciting and long adventure for me and I am
already loving every minute of it. You can download my Interactive
Lenormand Oracle programme for FREE.
Yes, you get 7 whole days to try it, completely free of charge, no
tricks, no spyware, nothing - just the file. You don’t even install it
as it runs as an .exe file e-book! If you decide you don’t like it,
just delete it! You don’t even have to uninstall it! However I am more
than sure you will absolutely LOVE IT, and I can pretty much guarantee
that instead of deleting it you will want more, yes more! .. MORE? I
hear you cry… absolutely! The real best bit is the User Interactive
part that is saved especially for the Full Version. And at a price that
is lower than most books out there and even lower than some of the
Lenormand cards themselves, I think you will have to agree that it is
money well spent.
Please go and download my e-book and have a look. You are under no
obligation to buy it at all - it is all yours for a whole week until
you decide to hang on to it or not ~ www.lenormand-oracle.com
.....Just remember to come back and let me know what you think of it!
YES!
It has finally arrived (well almost just needs a few tweaks) but I am
already taking pre-orders at a discount price for my exclusive “Sandy
Cristel’s Interactive Lenormand Oracle™” programme.
This is the most fantastic thing for anyone interested in learning the
original gypsy oracle cards - this programme will even teach you how to
read regular ordinary playing cards!

their lives, hone your instincts and allow the cards to speak to your
mind… I am so proud to put my name on this - hurry and take advantage
of the special low price one-time offer!!

Twice in one week - goodness me! No seriously, I have updated some broken links on the meditation page this morning. I was surprised nobody noticed or even let me know :) ... it is OK you can tell me about these things - I won't hex you! Anyway the main reason for this post is ...YES I have joined the twittering tweeters on twitter! Come join the fun too but if you can't, no problem, you can still follow my twisted sense of humour and what I am up to 24/7! How's that for fantastic eh?. You can also follow me directly from the twitter site: twitter.com/SandyCristel Hope that everyone is doing well. I am looking forward to Spring - yes I know we have a few months to go yet, but I am still looking forward to it :)
Finally I am now in a position to offer Oracle readings again. I am fully confident that you will be delighted with your reading as I will be using my Lenormand Cards for the main reading and using Tarot as a secondary back up. You can purchase either a full spread, a 9 card spread or I can do a Q&A 3 card insight spread for you. All readings will be written out in full by myself and emailed to you. If you are interested in having an Oracle reading, please visit my Oracle Page.
Wow, Yule came and went, New Year came and went and my feet have not touched the ground! I had a wonderful Yule with my family and then the drama kicked in... On New Years Day I took my dog Nico out walking in the forests. He decided to chase after a deer for a bit of fun and came back limping badly. The poor dog had jumped on some logs which had spines on them, and yes, one went through his back foot and broke off - so here I was with a 5 stone (32kg) dog in the middle of the forest with a 4 inch wooden spike through his paw. I managed to fireman's lift carry him most of the way home, jump in my car and meet my vet. So that was my New Years day. It could have been much worse though, it was a clean wound, luckily, and now he is fully recovered.
I was in hospital on 6th January for a sinus and nose operation. I had a bad riding accident about 17 years ago that demolished my nose and septum and have had 3 operations over the years, the last being 10 years ago - this operation was number 4 and hopefully the last. I am amazed at how fast I am healing this time and with hardly any bruising - being a healer can be extremely helpful sometimes *smile*... I hope that you all had a wonderful start to 2009, but perhaps not quite as eventful as mine :).
Yule is approaching fast and furiously - actually on the 22nd this year instead of the usual 21st. I have quite a bit going on in the coming weeks so I will not be online very much until mid January. The reason being is that I have family staying with me for a month over the festive season and then I am going into hospital at the beginning of January for an operation. Nothing dramatic but it has to be sorted out, so please be patient with me if you do not receive a reply to your email right away. I am human too :). I wish you all a wonderful Yule and New Year .. and as I always say, if you can't be good, then be careful *wink*.
wow, I am absolutely full'o'beans right now. Since the last full moon I am firing on all cylinders and feeling really grounded without being "cut off". The weather is crap, it's cold, and where I live is about to get a deep snow but one thing I adore about Germany is that there is usually a patch of blue sky, which is always uplifting. I seem to be updating my blog more often than this little section, so do feel free to comment on my blog entries. My last entry was about some skulls I had found in the forest and I got chased by a boar. Oh my life is never dull :). I have been spending a bit more time online recently and I have tried to put some old ghosts to rest and of course find new cans of worms to open - but that's life - grab it by the balls and give it a good shake. Sometimes you get a gold coin and sometimes a cold sausage but hey - the fun is dealing with what life throws at you and make the best of whatever it dishes. If life sucks for you right now, then concentrate on being positive and look at what you already have. By wallowing in self pity and self absorption, complaining and moaning about what you don't have, will only bring more bad luck your way. You, and ONLY you, can make your life better.
I am being bombarded with messages from spirit at the moment and I am having trouble finding the people for whom the messages are for. The latest spirit being a lovely lady, slightly confused, called Emily. However, she was known as Lily by her friends and family. I believe she died in a train or her death involved a train. That is all I can say apart from a message relating to a wooden chest. If she relates to you in any way, please get in touch and I will ask her to come forward. She might have just been passing through though. This time of year is really active with spiritual activity and she might have just latched onto the first sensitive she could find. As I already mentioned she was confused and seemed to be caught in some sort of loop. I am wondering whether I should make an extra page on my blog which has messages from spirit. I know other mediums have this and this was not something I was going to offer - however, due to recent experiences, I feel it might help to get the messages across. What do you think? Let me know. Have a wonderful Samhain tomorrow and take care!
WOW twice in one week I have managed to grab a little "me" time. This is my favourite time of the year, I have to admit. Yeah I know it's very much a cliché but I absolutely ADORE Samhain (Halloween to most folk). The energy is really vibrant and the wall between the spirit realm and our realm is extremely thin. I like to dress up (no, not as a green-faced, pointy hat, warty witch - shame on you for even thinking it!) ..... I enjoy to wear some onyx chokers and a renaissance gown. I will also be making a "dumb supper" this year in which I shall break bread and serve red wine with all my ancestors that have passed. I remember doing this two years ago and ended up becoming utterly blottoed and passed out - when I came to I had an incense stick hanging out my ear, a candle stuck up my nose and we won't even discuss the dribble. .. OH! OK! Slight exaggeration but you get the gist :)
As an end note - all those lovely people whom I have helped out unconditionally over the last year - whether its advice, spells, readings, healing, whatever - please go HERE and click the button to fill out the form to share your experience. It is free to use my feedback form and will take maybe just 5 minutes of your time. Thank you :)
I can't believe it was a month ago when I last updated my diary. So many things are happening I am just being swept away with it all. Luckily it isn't all bad ... just manic! I thought things will start getting worse as Mercury entered retrograde but I have to admit, things are actually going well. I am back studying my Lenormand Oracle and have done some fantastic and accurate readings for people. I am still not able to offer them just yet on my site but I hope to be able to by the Spring. If you really would like me to do a reading for you, please contact me by email. In the meantime I have now added another Article to my Article Page. This article is purely Questions and Answers about Ouija Boards. I get hundreds of emails a month asking for the more nitty-gritty details of using a board, so I have done my best to gather all the questions and provide the answers based on my own experiences and knowledge. I hope everyone is well. Samhain is looming and I can't wait!
Hi everyone, I am now back from my break but have had a couple of family upsets which means I am not online as much as I want to be. Big hello to Mr. Hazel-something from the plane (sorry my bad I am the world's worst at remembering names but remembered it had a Hazel in there somewhere) ...I hope that you enjoyed the concert and where are those pics? *smile*. Massive thank you to one of my closest girlfriends, Anne. She has been a real star these past few weeks and has been my rock - I also fully recommend her for Oracle reading sessions .. just one snag though - you need to be able to speak German.
Not much else to report really, just extremely busy with family right now, but this is not interfering with any rituals or healing. I submitted a new article to Ezine Articles and it was published last week. I will also be adding it to my site very shortly. Have a lovely week!
I am away until mid September so any emails may not be answered until I return. Any spells and remote healing which has already been arranged and paid for will continue as normal. Have a lovely Summer.
The wonderful Barrie John will be partnering up with the lovely Rivkah Morgan on BBC Radio Cambridge (click the listen live link on the site) on June 12th at 9pm. You can tune in easily online and even view the studio webcams too. It is a great show and very interactive and you get to chat with these fantastic mediums live on the radio. On a more personal note, things are going great for me at the moment. My Energy Anatomy Course is steaming ahead and I only have a couple more assignments to complete before the main exam. I am pretty confident I will sail through it but it is always nice to complete a diploma course. On another update, I am investing in a puppy. I pick him up beginning of July and I am very much looking forward to it. I am more than sure a few photos will be appearing on my blog of the little guy, after all, that's what blogs are for *smile*.
Just a short update as I am really getting stuck into my Energy Anatomy Coursework and the main exam looms closer and closer. I have also knuckled down and completed my Violet Flame Healing course as well, which I am going to be receiving Attunement for later on tonight. Things are going really well for me lately. I seem to be on a lucky streak, which I am glad about because so far this year has proved to be more than challenging. Not just for me either, many, many people this year have been struggling - some people still are, however, hang in there, it will get better I promise.
What absolutely gorgeous weather!! I have to admit I simply adore the sun and I soak it up like a sponge. I met up with Luke and Lorelei socially again at the weekend - they are such a lovely couple - and genuine too! Luke is never short of an interesting word or three, bless him, he is right on the button with what he comes out with! I have also come to know the beautiful and fascinating Rivkah Morgan recently too, another well known medium and psychic but based in the UK. Apart from her BBC Radio Cambridge shows (tune in tonight on the web at 9pm GMT after The Naked Scientist) and other charity work she has now just started doing platform work. This is something I would love to start once my children have grown up a bit and are less dependant on me. If you would like to learn more about Rivkah - you can visit her website here: www.mysticalhealing.com. In the meantime enjoy the gorgeous weather and always use a good sun cream.
This past weekend I finally got to meet with Luke and Lorelei, Germany's best loved TV Psychics. I got to know them on a personal level earlier in the year so I was really looking forward to meeting them in person. Find out what happened on my blog. I have also updated my Oracle page as well. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to offer full personal readings due to time issues, however, I can offer you accurate readings in which I choose the cards but the actual reading is provided by Oracle software (which I have actually bought a licence for as it is that good!).
I have this very afternoon just received a Certificate for my completion of the Kundelini Reiki Course. I have also completed all the booster attunements that must be given after the final Master/Teacher Attunement. I have to say that this way of healing is incredible. I can easily incorporate this in conjunction with my Shamanic Healing and the power is amazing. The most wonderful thing about using Kundelini energy is that it is so energising and whilst it also benefits you, it also benefits me :). Now I must kick on with my Energy Anatomy Diploma, my Violet Flame Course and, last but not least, I will take my Lenormand Studies off the back burner :).
I had my second Attunement for my Kundelini Reiki last night. This was the last one before my Master Level. I have to say it truly was a profound experience. The Kundelini Energy is something that is probably dormant in most people, but once awakened it truly puts you on another level. Before I continue studying my Master/Teacher Level I will do another Assignment for my Energy Anatomy. I have also signed up with a new course to study the "Violet Flame", which I believe originated from Germany. As I currently live in Germany I thought it would be a good idea to embrace that as well, however, this course is well on the back burner for now along with my Lenormand studies until I get my Energy Anatomy Diploma and Master Reiki completed. And .. on top of all that, I am laying a floor through the whole downstairs of my house this week ... no peace for the wicked (or so they say) *innocent!*.
Regular healing sessions for clients will continue but I will only be working in the evenings for the next fortnight and will not be doing my early morning 5am sessions during this time.
Doesn't time fly when you are having fun! My Energy Anatomy Diploma is going great (100 percent score so far) and I am now officially half way through the course (Assignment 6). My Kundelini Reiki Course is also going well and I have my first Attunement today. I have another Attunement next week and then I will start studying for the Master/Teacher Course. Unfortunately, something had to give, and my Lenormand Oracle Course is on the back burner for a while because I was finding it too challenging focusing on so much at the same time. When my energy courses are completed, I will be knuckling down with the Lenormand Course, however, realistically, I don't think I will be able to offer full spread readings until the end of this year - I don't do things by half so I would rather wait and give you a first class reading!
Wow, Valentines Day is coming up already!! Where is the time going? I am still working on my Lenormand Oracle Course and to be honest I am struggling with it, however, this is good because it makes one appreciate it much more. It is SO different from Tarot and I had no idea just how many combinations there are to learn (over 600) and it is taking me longer than I had anticipated. I am about to also start my Kundelini Reiki Course as well in conjunction with my Energy Anatomy Diploma (which is going great - 100 percent scores on all my assignments so far). Although I do not work using the mainstream, typical Usui Reiki, I find the Kundelini Reiki more in tune with the Shamanic healing I already do, and it will add another beneficial and interesting dimension to the way I work.
My site, after having a few problems with downtime, is back up and running 100% and with an extra kick - my new blog! www.blog.sandycristel.com feel free to comment on any entries if you wish!
I hope that you all had a wonderful break and a good party into 2008. This year is going to be a toughie especially for Virgos as Saturn is in Retrograde. We must try to keep our cool when dealing with authority figures and if you have any large plans - NOW is the time to get off your backside and put your plans and thoughts into motion but hold off on actually starting new projects. Saturn will be in Retrograde until May 2008 - could be a challenging time for some, but use this energy to work for you and you will benefit from it :)
I am busy beavering away at my coursework for my Energy Anatomy Diploma and have finally completed Assignment 3. In between times, I have started studying Lenormand Oracle cards. I have read Tarot since I was 13 but I have never ever felt they were personal to the individual. The Lenormand Cards, however, have another way of working, which is totally unique. They are very personal the individual and even during these early days of learning I am getting very accurate results. I am aiming to offer Lenormand Oracle Readings via my site from Spring 2008.
GUILTY! Yes I know :) but this time I owe you all an explanation of why I have not been keeping you updated with my diploma coursework. Truth is I am only on Assignment 3. I received another 100% for the second assignment but I was not able to continue as I received an urgent plea for immediate long term healing. This was something I couldn't ignore and has taken up all and any free time I had, so my coursework was put on the back burner. I am pleased to report that all my hard work has paid off and the person is back on the right road to recovery. I am now resuming my study in between my regular sessions and spell casting.
As promised I said I would keep you up-to-date with my latest course. I submitted my first assignment last week and I passed with 100%. The next assignment is equally interesting so I hope I can keep up this perfect score.
I am now embarking on another course. This time an Energy Anatomy Diploma Course. I have 12 assignments and one exam and the first assignment arrived this morning. I will keep you updated of my progress, but I know now that I will really enjoy getting my teeth into this one :)
I am now fully registered with the International Natural Healers Association (INHA). If you would like to check the validity please see my healing page for the link and copy of the certificate :). I would like to give special thanks to those few who gave me unconditional support during my training. In particular my closest friend Brian, my Mentor Anna May and my best friend Ingrid. May love and light always find you.
I received my Spiritual Attunement and certificate for my Ama Deus Shamanic healing course this morning. I have been extensively practising my hands-on healing recently as a close friend was left crippled after a car accident. Hands-on healing and distance healing are very different but the outcome is the same.
This is when you have a 2nd Full Moon in one calendar month. These are rare and only happen once every few years - just as well because the power behind one of these is 10 times the kick of a normal full moon - Excellent time to cast spells for Love, Money and Health. The next Blue Moon will not occur until December 2009. Make a note in your calendars!
