From back cover:
“In titling this work The Second Coming of Christ, I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth … A thousand Christs sent to earth would not redeem its people unless they themselves became Christlike by purifying and expanding their individual consciousness to receive therein the second coming of the Christ Consciousness, as was manifested in Jesus … Contact with this Consciousness, experienced in the ever new joy of meditation, will be the real second coming of Christ - and it will take place right in the devotee’s own consciousness.”

In this unprecedented masterwork of inspiration, Paramahansa Yogananda takes the reader on a profoundly enriching journey through the four Gospels. Verse by verse, he illuminates the universal path to oneness with God taught by Jesus to his immediate disciples but obscured through centuries of misinterpretation: “how to become like Christ, how to resurrect the Eternal Christ within one’s Self.”

Why Pay for Reiki?

Why Pay for Reiki?
L. Sabrina DeVaney

First, let’s define the question: is the real question “Why pay for reiki energy?” Or is it “Why pay for reiki treatment?” Or is it “Why pay for reiki training and attunements?” 

“Why pay for reiki?” is too general a question, so let’s be specific…

 

Why Pay for Reiki Energy?
This question is simple. Never pay for the reiki energy itself. If you aren’t sure if your practitioner or teacher is charging for the energy itself, ask! If the practitioner or teacher is including the energy itself in his or her fee schedule, leave and do not look back. Reiki energy is free. 

A reputable practitioner/teacher will never charge for the energy.

 

Why Pay for Reiki Treatment?
This is an entirely different question. Though a reputable reiki practitioner will never charge for the reiki energy, he or she will likely require an exchange for his or her time, skills, and knowledge, which is perfectly fair and just. Just as one would expect to pay for services such as plumbing work, electrical work, car repair, dentistry, a well-check visit to the doctor, and the like, one should expect to pay for holistic healing services as well. 

Report Delays - 03/30/2008

Due to the number of clients currently undergoing treatment there is currently a Session Report delay of approximately two weeks.  The two weeks is in addition to the normal expectancy of approximately 7 business days, meaning Session Reports may take up to 3 weeks from the date of the session to be transcribed and delivered.

Thank you for your patience as I work through this very busy time. 

Yours,
-Sabrina

[UPDATE: As of Tuesday, May 6, 2008 this is still in effect; and will remain in effect until posted otherwise. Thank you all for your patience and understanding in this matter.]

Pet Support Services - Lansing MI

Pet Support Services is a Lansing-based non-profit corporation which is run solely by volunteers and donations from the community and local businesses.

Their mission is to assist people with special medical and physical challenges in keeping, feeding, and caring for their companion animals.

PSS is unique in that they serve as an intervention at the request of the pet owner when the pet owner has fallen upon short-term or long-term financial or physical hardships, so the pet does not have to be given up by the pet owner, a situation that adds to our overpopulation of homelss pets and leaving the owners without what is often their best friend and companion.

Clients must reside in either Eaton or Ingham counties of Michigan.

Please download this brochure for more information.

If you’re like me and a bit of a tree-hugger, you’re probably often on the lookout for ways - big and small - to help make a difference. While I was at the post office the other day I did something I never do (never say, “Never!”): I browsed the resource table … and found these great ideas - (all links are to PDF files; copies of the flyers I found and brought home)
