My Secret Garden

Mysteries of life reveal themselves through the creative process. Exploration not only takes place on the canvas,
it becomes a journey within. My hand is guided by the mind’s eye as I explore the fluidity of fantasy, reality,
personal journeys and the inherent sensual nature of our inner and outer worlds.

To begin from the void of blank canvas and create substance always elevates me. Capturing an image or a
concept and suspending it in your mind is a provocative endeavor. When the spark of a moment has past and the
memory is all that remains you invoke the balancing of opposing forces; discipline and the creative spirit. The
canvas transforms, becoming a permanent record and timeless home for exploring that expressive energy.

I cannot recall a time that drawing and painting did not

beckon me. San Francisco Bay Area proved a fertile
ground for honing my skills early, while studying vari-
ous creative disciplines. A near-death experience at 23
began my journey looking past the surface of every-
thing in life. Influences and interests continually morph
and evolve. My growth and understanding relative to
spiritual truths often surface in my paintings. While
working with the physicists as an illustrator for their
cutting-edge concepts, their counsel while processing
the near-death experience was rich ground for expand-
ing concepts and visual imagery.

Tickling Her Fancy

More recently I have taken to working in series and

find it inspiring to approach one subject from a variety
of perspectives, and to have the opportunity to apply
new techniques in a variety of similar application until
it becomes a relaxed extension of the creative process.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know my work.

Cheers,

 The Fuck Dance By Shawn Schepps
Since my last article I have had to move to
another safe-house as the Ya-Ya-Sisterhood-
of-the-Traveling-Pants have put out a Jihad
on me for publishing trade secrets. Me, I just
want a decent relationship as much as you do.
So at the risk of my own life, let’s get down
to business. I speak now of the familiar tribal
custom which shall formally be known here
as The Fuck Dance. And it goes a little some-
thing like this:
You’ve met her. She rocks your world. You’ve
got a non stop hard-on for this woman. You
would do anything for her, even go down to
the nearest store and get her a box of Tam-
pons. She feels the same way. She’d do any-
thing for you, even watch you and your loser
team play softball in the bone-chilling cold.
All she wants your hands on her. Everything
you say is funny to her.
This is what we commonly refer to as the
honeymoon phase. And while it lasts, there
ain’t nothing better. We all want it to be easy.
But life comes down on the honeymoon phase
as quickly as a trannie on Eddie Murphy. One
day—oh, say about 6 weeks in—you find
you’re no longer thinking about her all the
time. You go back to work. She goes back to
work. You start attending your weekly poker
game again. You no longer leave a meeting to
take her calls at the office. You begin to com-
partmentalize again. You’re serial multi-task-
er. Your mind functions like a Rubik’s Cube.
She doesn’t understand this. All she knows
is that you seem to be preoccupied, pulling
away. As far as you’re concerned, you’re not.
But she’s beginning to wonder if you still care
as much as you did when you were spending
24/7 in the 69 position.
6
You, being the serial multi-tasker, eventually
get around to noticing this. So you decide to
go out of your way to a mall after work to get
her a little something-something. She’s your
wet dream girl. She deserves it. Hmm…flow-
ers? No, they die. Might as well burn money.
Jewelry’s out of the question—it’s just a little
token gift. Ah—there it is, tempting you from
every Gap-filled corner of America: Victo-
ria’s Secret! You come home with a beautiful,
delicate peignoir. Pink—kinda virgin-whore
fantasy. And with the tiniest little thong.
Yum!
Your sweetie greets you at the door with a
warm hug, a deep kiss, and then she eyes the
package. For her? How will she ever thank
you?
Blowjob of course—you know that’s coming
after she opens her gift. Or maybe not.
The minute she sees the lingerie she stands up
and throws it in your face.
And so the dance begins:
She: “Oh, really? So in other words you ex-
pect to get laid tonight?
Translation: “Since when do you decide the
fate of my pussy?”
You: “What did I do?”
Translation: “What the FUCK did I do?”
She: “This isn’t a gift for me, it’s a gift for
you.
”Translation: “Work’s been a real bitch and

 Paul Laffoley & the Living Plant-House
By Michael Coleman

Paul Laffoley has always had a love for diagramatic illustration as well as a huge interest in futurism,
alternate realities, mysticism, philosophy and classical physics. His 40 years of focused work and study in
30 x 18ft utility room called the Boston Visionary Cell has resulted in the most amazing series of paint-
ings produced in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

These works are maps of philosophies, universal truths, dimensions, future devices, time-machines,
thought-forms, ethical systems and future possibilities created with the intent of consolidating all the
worlds technical and spiritual information into templates for understanding & creating the positive future
today.

Laffoley’s term for the time period we are in presently is ‘The Bauharoque”, and paraphrasing Laffoley
“This time period will see the end of ‘science fiction’ as all possibilities become reality. Religions, moral-
ity, mysticism and technology converge and after this sequence (which is happening now) - all technology
becomes physically alive as evolution becomes artificial & self-directed. Life and death become united
and sex, race, species, matter, mind, space and time become interchangeable.”

12
The subjects of Paul Laffoley’s paintings span from
charting the earliest esoteric and occult schools of
wisdom, classical philosophy, mathematics and nu-
merology to exploring alternate possibilities for the
present which incorporate universal spiritual prac-
tices, mind-machine technology, creative genetic
engineering, time control devices and charting hu-
man cultural changes in response to unprecedented
planetary changes.

This material about time-machines, nano-tech,

alternate dimensions, cosmological physics, UFOs
and mind-physics was sufficiently beyond the
comprehension level of the general 1970s and 80s
‘art community’ that Laffoley has remained largely
under-known, only appearing in a few books and
magazines as an ‘anomaly’ or ‘outsider artist’.

After decades of confusion of how to categorize

Paul’s art, the public consciousness has finally
caught-up to his subject-matter. The then-obscure
topics Laffoley has been examining the details of
since the 1960s - such as nanotechnology, time-me-
chanics and transdisciplinary convergence - are now
widely understood and accepted mainstream topics.

Paul Laffoley’s Plant-House and related Ideas are

rapidly becoming a very real possibility as a way to
permanently solve the problem of human housing
on a global level, without cutting down a single tree
and with no construction labor or materials invest-
ments ... because your house will grow itself and
would be a chimeric living plant!
The plan is to use Ginkgo Biloba, an ancient tree
which, because of it’s unique DNA, is capable of
inter-grafting different plant-types or species. For
example you can have a single root system of Gink-
go with grafted branches of fruits, grasses, vegeta-
bles or vines. This coupled with genetic engineering
can produce a house grown entirely from seeds, and
if you want you could induce your house to flower
and produce more seeds that would also grow into
habitable structures.
But that’s not all ... your house could also be ge-
netically programmed to produce it’s own interior
oxygen and even light at the levels desired. Your
kitchen would not just store food, but would be a
living garden of fruits, vegetables, grains or even
flowers or medicinal herbs of any type you asked for
growing from the walls.
The DNA of the structure would incorporate aspects
of Ginkgo, Bamboo, Pine, and Kudzu and the living-
chambers would be a huge Orchid flower in the shape of
a Klein bottle (imagine two Mobius strips joined to form
a single surface).
The “appliances” for lighting, heating, food growth and
electricity would all be living multi-genetic organisms
incorporating DNA from Jellyfish & luminescent bacte-
ria for lighting, electric eel sequences and altered photo-
synthetic genes for energy production, spider silk genes
for tensile strength and various plant derived chemical
reactions for temperature and oxygen regulation.

nescent bacteria for lighting, electric eel sequences and
altered photosynthetic genes for energy production,
spider silk genes for tensile strength and various plant
derived chemical reactions for temperature and oxygen

Here is a bit of what Paul Laffoley has to say about
the Plant-house:
“I believe that if a strategy for mass housing could
found, that would involve non-repressive personal
environments [that would avoid mechanical
standardization], a base could be established from
which other social problems will be solved. Then
finally the quest for meaning in existence could
gradually replace the goals of our almost complete
secular world. To do this requires the total convergence
of Science with Mysticism. While this task has already
been started a few individuals and groups [beginning in
the 19th Century], it will not be until the entire world is
involved, will a real change be noticed.
My proposal, therefore, for ending the world housing
shortage is by growing houses from plant materials and
developing genetically altered seeds which will induce
habitable forms in single multiple species. These forms
will then begin to approximate the rich vocabulary of
spaces the history of the Human Species has created
from the individual home to the city”
“The Conservatory has one basic drawback. It is a
building type that requires Human intervention to
protect the plant species inside. The purpose of Das
Urpflanze Haus or physically alive architecture is to do
what all architecture is supposed to do – protect us from an alien environment.
We exist on the Earth because of the existence of Vegetation, not the other way around. Over the eons we have
been weakening the life force of plant materials by protecting them by artificial cultivation techniques and Hot
Houses. What we must do is help plant species regain their rightful place in the world as the Prime Species and
avail ourselves of their protection and love by willing to fall in love with plant forms and feed ourselves by
eating their delicious fruits and nutritious vegetables [which are seed pods which are produced in an abundance
beyond what is necessary for sustainable reproduction].

“What could be a more plausible or delightful solution than to live in a world-wide garden? The New Eden –
populated with physically alive architecture that could exist almost anywhere on the Earth’s surface or under
the ocean or up in the air, that was produced in growing time of approximately two to three months. Also as
Humanity begins to explore other planets and moons, I do not believe people will like living in high-tech tin
cans on barren wastelands.”
- Paul Laffoley

Buckminster Fuller said “We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.” and Paul Laffoley’s
concepts are an essential part of understanding the context of the present-future well enough to anticipate radi-
cal changes & adapt in benevolent and progressive ways, in terms of eco-techno-societal balance and personal
evolution of consciousness.

Saying Goodbye By: Dr. Jeanine
Part of my job as the Department Head of Social Services
when I worked for a skilled nursing facility was to have
regular client contact. One morning, I stopped by to see
how Mr. and Mrs. Carol* were doing. As soon as I stepped
in the room I felt I was entering into a combat zone. The
couple was sparring loudly about which television pro-
gram they were going to watch: People’s Court or Sally
Jesse Raphael. Not five seconds into the debate, in horror
I watched a cup of hot tea, launched by Mr. Carol, fly past
my head only to narrowly miss Mrs. Carol, his bride of
more than 60 years. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Carol chucked
her full tray of gooey hospital food towards Mr. Carol. For
someone in her final days of a terminal illness, she surpris-
ingly mustered enough strength to create a giant mess with
food landing on the ceiling, windows and walls. Indig-
nant and incensed, I looked at my 90-something year old
patients and exclaimed with all the authority a 23 year old
might command and said, “You two should be ashamed of
yourselves!”
Back in my office, I reviewed the couple’s intake and
psychosocial assessments. Their marital history was unre-
markable and by all accounts it was a happy liaison. What
was up with these two crazy characters? Then it hit me.
They didn’t know how to say goodbye to each other. Of
course, it is much easier to contemplate leaving someone
who is on your last nerve than someone whom you feel a
warm fuzzy connection with. I was able to bring this up
later with Mr. and Mrs. Carol and they both acknowledged
that their bickering the last few weeks had to do with their
fears of losing each other.
I certainly understood some of what the Carols were
resisting. When I was training to be a psychotherapist,
the issue of termination of the client therapist relation-
ship was always a challenging one for me. Most schools
of social work and psychology suggest that termination
isn’t something that you discuss with a client a few weeks
before the psychotherapeutic relationship ends, but in fact
from the beginning. I often found myself resisting this
discussion with clients until midway through the treatment
process, which never served the client or myself. Eventu-
ally, I learned to bring up termination at the beginning of
the process and found that this discussion helped the client
to have more clarity regarding the beginning, middle and
ending of treatment. The timely discussion gave them time
to emotionally prepare and assisted in reducing some of
the grief relating to termination.
As a child, I moved around considerably and the same
has been true of my adulthood. I remember when I left
Southern California about eleven years ago that some of
my friends expressed anger at me for leaving. I remember
fighting a bit with a best girlfriend about something trivial
right before I left. The truth was we had been joined at
the hip for 15 years and we weren’t sure what the separa-
tion would mean for us. Rather than discuss the issue, we
had a couple of cat fights to make the move easier. I also
noticed that when she was feeling tearful and expressive, I
was feeling cool and distant and when I was feeling scared
and sad, she would be apathetic. If we were both feeling
emotional at the same time, of course, we would have to
confront the grief we were both feeling.
While I don’t have complete mastery in saying goodbye, or
in some cases farewell for a time, I do know my intention
is to show up for the experience. It may make it seem easier
to create a diversion of some kind to make dealing with the
goodbye easier, but it is a spurious strategy. A Course in
Miracles offers us that no relationship ever ends (this may
be disconcerting for some!).
I once work with a darling little boy named Charlie when I
was an aide in a kindergarten setting. I was admittedly very
attached to Charlie. It was obvious we both took the last
day of school very hard but I tried to comfort him by telling
him that we would carry each other in our hearts. About
five years later, I saw him on a playground. As he ran by
me playing ball with his friends he shouted, “Miss Jeanine,
you are still in my heart.” This is the paradox of the good-
bye, it may be painful but the truth is we take our loved
ones with us wherever we go.

level, whether it’s personal, political, or even environmental.

Our old world is no longer in alignment with the new world we’ve created, and we may feel as if we are once again, hav-
ing to let go. How much more is there you may ask? Well it’s a constant letting go process.

As we grow, it is reflected in the world around us, and many times this means new friends, new places and a new support
system… This is wonderful, but with this, comes a falling away, the need to let go of people and circumstances that no
longer serve us.

The problem seems to lye in the timing of it all. It’s almost as if we are dying and being reborn again while we are still.
When we experience things ending in our life before the new has arrived, it can cause us to panic.

Right now many of us are experiencing job losses, relationship breakups and even health issues. We may even feel as
though all we’ve worked for is for not coming to fruition. This can be very scary and overwhelming.

Despite all our efforts, our infill structure is falling apart, and we start to wonder how will we sustain? Which way do we
go when there is no solid ground? Amidst all this chaos, how can I find my way?

I invite you to take time for yourself right now. Take a deep breath and go within for the answers. Realign and restruc-
ture your own beliefs and boundaries. This is no longer the time to enable others, nor a time to allow others to bring you
down. Take a look around; take some inventory on your life as it currently stands.

If you are doing your best and are giving 100% of your love and light out to the world, you deserve nothing less in return.
So have faith, stay in your creativity, and be patient, for things are not always what they seem.

And if by chance something or someone seems out of place, doesn’t feel right, or stands out like a sore thumb, let it go.
That’s what you created then, this is now, and it’s a whole new world!

 Interview with Staci Layne Wilson by: G.L. Giles
What would it be like to live forever? Forever is a re-
ally long time! Good music and a few amusing riddles
would help you get through the dull spots, I suppose.

3) Growing up, one of my favorite songs was the

Hawaii Five-O theme song which was covered by The
Ventures, so I was delighted when I learned that your
father, Don Wilson, is a member of the group. Did he
have a big influence on your writing Dark Lullaby and
Rock ‘N Roll Fantasy?

Actually, not a whole lot. At least, not overtly. Since

The Ventures were a part of my life growing up, the
whole thing never seemed mysterious or out of the
ordinary. It was just my dad, you know? For Dark Lul-
laby and Rock ‘N Roll Fantasy, my biggest influence
was Robert Plant, the lead singer of Led Zeppelin. In
the 1970s, he was the embodiment of the so-called rock
“golden god.”

4) Your mother, Nancy Bacon, is an artist with an

the genre the usual way: an underlying fascination
with immortality. I’ve had some wonderful pets over the course of my
20
life. I’d have to say the two strongest “soul mates” were
Smokey, my first pony, and Griselda, a little salt-n-pepper
female ferret. However, I have given kind of a form of
immortality to some of my pets in form of novels: Hem-
ingway is the lead character (a talking cat) in The Life
and Times of Rapunzel, and Peregrino, a gregarious bay
Paso Fino I trained, was the inspiration for one of the
horses in Horses By eMail.
6) You did something truly original in its vast scope with
the publication of Animal Movies Guide (2007), for
you have included ninety write-ups on movies that have
an animal as the main character. Animal Movies Guide
focuses on the furry mammals like cats, dogs and horses,
but you mentioned in “A Note From The Author” that you
might write a Volume 2 with birds, sharks and snakes. Is
that in the works now?
Not yet. For as much work, time, research and passion as
I put into that book, there was an equal deficit of funds
for promotion and advertising. So, thus far it’s an undis-
covered labor of love. The book was briefly featured on
the Reelz Channel DAILIES Show when I was a guest on
the program talking about dogs in the movies at about the
time I Am Legend was released in theaters, and for that
I am grateful. I have no regrets, as I do believe Animal
Movies Guide is the definite book on the subject and it
will always be relevant and a good source for cinephiles.
7) Vampires aren’t the only supernatural characters
you’ve included in your writing, for ghosts make their
spectral appearance as classic ghost movies are described
in 50 Years of Ghost Movies. In a sidebar in the book you
reveal that while at a press junket in the most haunted
room at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, there were dif-
ficulties recording. Do you believe the place to be haunt-
ed? Have you ever experienced spirit activity elsewhere?
Much as I love to “cue the Twilight Zone theme” and
play with coincidence, I really am a skeptic at my core.
While I may be fascinated by the possibilities, I’m pretty
firm on the probability that once we die we are gone
forever. I don’t want to believe that though, which may
explain why I keep going back to the well of immortality,
whether it be in the fiction I write or the movies I enjoy
watching.
8) A different kind of ghost is brought to light in Ghost
Writer, which has received praise from author Michael
Laimo and screenwriter Peter Atkins, to name a couple of
big names in the horror genre. Was it fun to write?
That book was a blast to write — it practically
wrote itself! It was really fun to try and view
things from a male perspective, even though I did
cheat a little and make Cary a bit “fey”. He’s a
character I’d really love to see make the leap to
the big screen. I could envision that story being re-
ally great fodder for a director like Charlie Kauf-
man, or Lucky McKee.
9) What’s the novel writing process generally like
for you? Since music plays a big role in some
of your books, do you frequently listen to music
while writing? If so, is it oftentimes the same CD
played over and over again to put you in a produc-
tive state of mind?
Since I mostly write movie reviews and cinema-
related articles now, and not very much fiction,
music isn’t totally essential to the process. But I
do get into happy “ruts” and will sustain joy and
impetus from one album for awhile before moving
on to the next. This year, I’ve been into: The Ra-
contuers’ Consolers of the Lonely, Sonic Youth’s
Hits Are For Squares, Cat Powers’ The Greatest,
the Repo! The Genetic Opera movie soundtrack,
and I even headed back to the 70s for awhile with
Terry Reid’s classic Superlungs (which comes
full-circle back to Consolers of the Lonely, be-
cause A Rich Kid’s Blues is a Reid cover sung by
Jack White).
10) Your fiction is filled with humor and moves
along at a good pace so that the reader is never
bored. I think this is oftentimes a characteristic of
exposition rich writing. Would you agree? Also,
I’ve heard show don’t tell ad nauseam ad infini-
tum as the rule of thumb for good writing for as
long as I can remember, but that frequently results
in an overly descriptive and soporific storyline
where something relatively unimportant to the plot
ends up being described for twenty-five pages or
longer, and this contributes to a super slow-mov-
ing tale. So, do you think that it’s equally impor-
tant to tell, not just show?
I’m afraid I had to look up “soporific”! Sleep-
inducing… OK. Yes, sometimes over-descriptive-
ness can be numbing. But other times, seemingly
disparate tangents can add layers to a story. Ste-
21
 phen King does this a lot, but the real master of the
aside-in-great-detail is one of my favorite writers,
Chuck Palahniuk. (Actually, I have found that au-
thors who employ a sort of bait-and-switch tech-
nique in talking about what seems like something
else while actually informing you on the character
or story, are better-enjoyed via audio. I think the
audio book is a woefully undervalued source. What
better way to spend your commute?) Occasionally,
telling and not showing is effective: but it must be
at the hands of an exceptionally gifted author. When
it comes to my own technique, I don’t belabor it all
that much; I just say what comes to mind and I find
that I pretty much write as I speak.

11) Are you writing any novels presently? If so,

when can we look forward to their release?

No, but I would like to continue the story of Ashara

and Liam, which I so cruelly left open for a sequel
at the end of Dark Lullaby. After the book first came
out, I got so many letters from readers saying they
want more of them… and I do, too. But that’s the
great thing about literary vampires: they never get
old. Maybe someday soon I will brush the dust from
them and see what’s next.

12) Where can readers buy your books?

I’d say their best bet to head on over to Amazon.
com and do a search for “Staci Layne Wilson.”
About the interviewer: G.L. Giles is appreciative of
being one of the self-published success stories. She’s
had over 200 major bookstore signings (for various
Borders, Barnes & Noble and Waldenbooks stores) in
the Southeast and Midwest over the last two and a half
years. She’s also signed at some wonderful Indepen-
dent Bookstores and businesses during this time as well.
She’s been on television six times talking about her
books for various stations in South Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama, and, in 2008, she was interviewed by the
legendary Joe Franklin (it was heard by millions when
it aired on his Bloomberg Radio show). Giles is happy
to be a regular contributor to MetaCreative Magazine,
and she has also had the good fortune of being inter-
viewed by Kristin Theckston for This Is Some Scene and
Dave Wolff for AEA. She’s been a Top Royalty Earner
for her publisher, and she’s been featured in their “Au-

for Pagan Pulse and Psychic Times, and she was re-
cently featured in Taralora.

A Passenger

About Abby:
I am an abstract expressionist oil painter. I have a B.A. in Literature. I live on acreage in rural Iowa.
I have my own art studio looking out into the woods. I am a largely self-taught artist, although I did
study briefly under Hugh Lifson (Prof. Emeritus/Painter at Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, IA 52314) I
have been painting since I was 7 years old. I started with acrylics and moved on to drawing with pencil
and conte crayon. I have done sculpture in limestone, clay, and metal. I now paint with oils and multi-
media. Transcendental meditation is an important part of my creative process. I am inspired by reading,
nature, energy, truth and wisdom.

23
 Abby Jones cont:

Ice Is Cold

As an abstract expressionist painter, I am fascinated with the basic scientific principle that energy
is neither created nor destroyed. Energy changes form from potential energy to kinetic energy and
back. I explore the threshold of change; when potential energy becomes kinetic energy. That en-
ergy exists in the creative process of art making as well as life. That tension that makes us hold our
breaths in anticipation and the release into eventual movement is the potential and kinetic energy we
encounter in everyday life.

My works strive to capture these forms of energy that exist in all of us. I use multi-media including
mirror, wood, metal, stained glass, and paper on top of silky oils to achieve a sense of texture and
contrast that creates tension. I also use shapes, lines, and color vigorously applied to achieve a sense
of movement and fluidity. If the potential energy of my idea can move someone to feel an emotion
then that is the kinetic energy of life derived from art. If a work can convey that sense of energy to
the observer then the piece has done its job.

 Laying the Cornerstones For Clear Communication
by Judith Lukomski

Early on in life, one finds that the ability to communicate clearly and directly affects the capacity to create a life
of connection, fulfillment and happiness. Learning to access inner wisdom and translate it into daily conversa-
tion is an on-going process, one that requires vigilant awareness and dedication to expressing truth. Crystals
assist throughout the process by offering vibrational support and serving as tangible touchstones; the gems of
communication await only your request to help.

Clear Your Calendar

Communication starts within the quiet space of the heart, when accessing the wisdom deep inside you discover
your true desires. Here you receive insight and life direction. Common questions when working with clients
are; “How do I meditate? How do I know what I am receiving is real?”

The answer is simple; ask. Make a date with the Divine; a consistent time or practice is a powerful way to
create a constant flow of information. Start talking with your angels and connecting with personal guides and
ascended masters through contemplative prayer. Step outside into the bliss of nature and experience another
path to inner wisdom. Find a method of connection, which serves to soothe your soul. Reflective journaling,
chanting, walking a labyrinth or running are a few favorite techniques. As you discover your rhythm, a sweet
peacefulness comes from building a bond with heaven. Maintaining a consistent meditative practice signals a
personal readiness to the universe; the willingness to accept the gift of wisdom and act upon it.

If the messages received seem harsh or unkind, ego may be stepping forward. This is part of the journey;
remember ego has a place in the process. Take time to acknowledge the contribution to survival that it brings,
then ask ego to step aside and continue your practice. You’ll find your true inner voice.

Daily Words

Initiating inner conversation is only the beginning. There are all messages sent and received throughout the day
including the tone to consider. Do they reflect your authentic voice and embody your genuine reaction? Direct
communication with compassion eliminates confusion. By stating your request or point plainly an exchange
ensues which supports honest dialogues. Have you ever said yes but meant no; then ended up resenting the
duties and responsibilities that followed? Creating and honoring boundaries encourages and sustains personal
fulfillment and goals.

Today’s technology enhancements bring a new wave of communication equipment, now everyday tools for
instant interaction. A change which is evident all around, as people chat on cell phones, feverishly text or link to
the Internet in a split-second. This leap to immediate communication includes a shift from in-person conversa-
tion to electronic conversation. The increased use of “time-savers”, invite the start or end of dialogue with the
click of the button or ping of an incoming text message, increasing the need for clear communication.

There is subtly to communication. A great exercise to see how often, you make eye contact with others you
encounter in daily activities. When you do take the time to see someone, the individual feels acknowledged;
they are more apt to hear you in totality. Practice it and watch the changes in your day! In western society, it is
appropriate to engage the individual you are speaking with by looking them squarely in the eye, be aware and
respectful of cultural differences.

28
Word Power

Another way to become aware of personal communication traits is to engage in a day of complete silence. Turn
off technology and take time to explore your experiences. Reflect on recent and past interactions to discover
hidden messages. Many clients are surprised to see where personal gaps surface, especially when reviewing
their words. Although, conceptually aware, that words manifest, common phases still pop up in everyday con-
versation. A few frequent examples include:

I feel sick. I am grateful for my health.

I am broke. I am abundant.
It’ll never work It’s possible

Placing the Cornerstones

Mother Earth presents many gifts to assist you in your quest to be crystal clear communicators. Historically,
gemstones have played a role in bridging heaven and earth increasing spiritual awareness while assisting on the
physical plane. Referenced in sacred texts throughout the world, crystals serve to amplify intention so that as
you deepen your interaction with the Divine gems energetically accelerate your prayers.

Clear quartz, a beloved stone in many cultures helps one reach higher states of attunement and consciousness
in prayer and meditation. Holding or placing a crystal nearby during a meditative session escalates energies
speeding unification. Carrying a small touchstone serves as reminder of the serene state throughout a busy day.

Turquoise offers assistance as one embarks on a journey of truth. This beautiful stone generates a conduit of
communication that initiates and sustains on-going dialogues of openness even during the difficult moments.
Amplifying your intentions to speak with precision and harmony, it is best worn at the throat or used as a touch-
stone.

Rose quartz offers the essence of unconditional love. Energies from this crystalline friend help harmonize re-
lationships and strengthen interactions. When practicing listening skills and responding with compassion Rose
Quartz helps maintain a neutral exchange.

Azurite supports your quest to live with authenticity. Its energy facilitates change. Working with this stone
helps one energetically clear the debris of outdated beliefs and replace them with new understandings.

Cornerstones of Communication:

Listen with Openness Clear Quartz

Speak with Clarity Turquoise
Respond with Compassion Rose Quartz
Act with Integrity Azurite

The guardians of heaven and earth stand ready to assist open the door to happiness and fulfillment. To help you
communicate with the language of the Divine – love and light. Shine brilliantly as you journey the path of life!

 Review Last Year and Show Up More This Year
By Doris Jeanette
Now is a good time to take a clear, honest look at your physical and
spiritual life to see what you are manifesting. When you look in the
mirror, do you see any wonderful, exciting changes since last year? Or
do you see the same physical body and emotional body that you had last
winter? If you do not see a big difference in your physical and
emotional body, this means you are not growing toward your soul’s
desires.

Each year needs to be a step forward toward your purpose in life.

Self improvement of any nature is not permanent until your physical

body changes. You may think you have changed, but if you cannot see a
difference in the mirror, the energy is not there. Self improvement is
obvious to you and everyone else because your energy field radiates out
more love and light. This extra energy is the result of letting go of
rotten, old, heavy thought forms. In addition, your body language is
more flowing and fluid as a result of feeling your authentic emotions
and feelings. Your physical body looks different and is stronger.
Your emotional body looks different and is stronger.

The bottom-line is, your self improvement must show up in the flesh or
it does not exist. You are incarnate after all! Incarnate means in
the flesh. Your body reveals the truth about your thoughts, feelings
and emotions. Your body does not have the ability to lie. Study and
listen to the CD “Hear Your Body Talking” for more information about
your body. http://www.drjeanette.com/hearyourbody.html

So take a loving look at yourself in the mirror and be honest with what
you see. Take stock of your body and emotions. Admit the truth of
what you see in the mirror. Take care to review your year with love,
laughter and kindness toward the self. Do not judge what you see. If
you judge what you see you will get stuck in judgmental energy and this
takes you nowhere! Or even worse, your judgment might take you into
depression and anxiety. So review the year, without judgment.

If you need help in shifting out of self judgment and cuddling up to

self acceptance- study, read and listen to “Opening the Heart.” This
ebook and audio teaches you how to open your heart and solar plexus.
You learn how to recognize the difference between judgmental, mental
energy and healthy flowing energy by how it feels in your body. Click
here to hear an audio clip from “Opening the Heart”:
http://www.drjeanette.com/feelingsweb.mp3 Click here to learn how to
shift out of self judgment into self acceptance. http://www.drjeanette.com/tapes.html

You have fantastic natural talents, skills and abilities that need to
be used for the highest good. If you are not using them, they are
being wasted.

Ask yourself:
Do I want to waste my precious talents another moment?
Do I want to live a mundane and ordinary life?
What actions can I take to raise my vibrations and break free?
32
 When you review last year you might discover that you want like to see
something different in the mirror next year. If so amp up your self improvement so you
show up more this year. After all, you have to show up and take actions
in order to get results!

Here are some specific suggestions to help you:

1. Take action on the things you read in MetaCreative Magazine. Don’t

just read about something, do something. Order something, buy
something, take action. Get educated in the areas you need to know more
about so you can succeed. If you need a self help tool, buy it and
use it.

2. Follow the advice and suggestions available on my free internet

radio show “Live at the Edge”: http://www.moosemeals.com/edge.htm. If
you use the information in your daily life, next year this time, you
are sure to notice a huge difference in your body and feelings from
last year when you look in the mirror.

3. Show Up for yourself, Be there for yourself. Stop avoiding and Show
up. This is huge. Try it and see what happens. Just show up,
everywhere and anywhere.

4. Let something touch your heart and soul; a person, moment, color, feeling or sound.
Consider allowing my voice to touch your
heart and soul in the “Opening the Heart” audio: Click here to hear an
audio clip. http://www.drjeanette.com/feelingsweb.mp3 Click on this
link to order: http://www.drjeanette.com/tapes.html

5. Use your mind to set in motion this year’s intentions. Imagine

them, see them and then put some juicy energy behind them.

6. Sign up for the free holistic psychology, mind body spirit

newsletter, The Vibrant Moment for weekly tips and reminders to believe
in yourself at http://www.drjeanette.com. You get three special
reports, “How Colors Affect Emotions,” “Emotional Intelligence Test,”
and “Anxiety Help” when you do.

2009 can be the year you turn the corner.

Look in the mirror again. See your authentic, real, spiritual self in
the flesh reflected back at you. Smile and say hello.
Take a deep breath and accept your real body and your real feelings.
Now you are on the path to self acceptance which will naturally
transform your vital, emotional energy into healthy, flowing energy in
the flesh. Smile and feel all warm inside because you know you will
show up for yourself this year in a way that will make a difference in
the mirror for next year. Yes, indeedy!
