July Update

You wouldn't think that just a few weeks before the 4Th of July holiday, Starmerge would be knee deep in work this year. Last year was a breeze compared to the agenda of 2007. Aside from the daily chores and errands, I am writing journals in my E-book every chance I get. It should be available before fall.

Nature has a wonderful way of getting messages across when we take the time to listen. The snap shot of this busy little bunny happily hopping down the bunny path certainly caught my attention to my own attitude of the path I am walking. Thank you Sophia, for sending us this eye catching message from nature. (great shot)

The global energy of July, August, and September is rather harsh so lets be extra cautious in our traveling this year and take extra care in our environmental preparedness on the home front before leaving on vacation. I am expecting some pretty major events this year, particular in the U.S. and Asia.

Dream Creations

A great number of people experience lucid dreaming spontaneously throughout their lives. When we begin to control our experiences in lucid dreams, we are then creating our physical reality.

Manifesting what we want to experience in life is first created in our astral mind in which our sub-conscious and consciousness follows. Lucid dreaming is an excellent mode of creating anything and everything you choose in life.

In the oil painting, "Alpha Theta Omega", we can see the correlation of the astral mind, the subconscious and the consciousness. We sail the ocean of our emotions through the dream world escaping the turbulence of our physical reality. Our sub-conscious mind raises our vibration to meet the intention of our astral mind. Just like the scene in the oil painting, everything we see in the lower part of our being is first depicted in the higher self.

If you would like to own an exclusive print of "Alpha Theta Omega" at an affordable price; gift yourself or your friends with this amazing image of our celestial connection that will trigger the sub-conscious mind to the realization of who we are and the power we possess.

Meet GiGi

Loosing a beloved pet is an experience that goes beyond grief. It is as though an extension of you is missing. Time is a wonderful healer for pet lovers in grief, and so it has been with me as well. My little Yorkie, Lollipop, passed away September of 2006. She will never be replaced and will remain in my heart forever. Through my grievng process I have discovered that the love in my heart continues to overflow and there is plenty to share and give to other little dogs that have no home or family to call their own.

Last week I adopted this darling little rescue dog. Her Foster Mom called her GiGi and I must say, it suits her well, don't you aggree? The rescue workers suspect that she is about a year old. Over this past week, GiGi has shown me images, colors and feelings about her life thus far. Bonding with her and communicating with her inspired me to write the following article to share with you.

Intuitive Pet Talk
http://ezinearticles.com/?Intuitive-Pet-Talk&id=496333
By Barbara Garcia

It isn’t just pet psychics who can talk with our little animal companions, everyone can!

Aside from a fantastic telepathic skill, many different species are developed in body language signals and also the tone and frequency of voice. Those of us who share our lives, our homes, our cars and whatever else we have with our little animal friends understand how they intuit on everything that happens in our lives. They are aware of our emotions, whether we are sad, happy or anywhere in-between.

Telepathy is an easy communicative language of images and feelings. We all do it but when we work with our pets, it will help a great deal to be being selective in the images that we are sending. If we tell our dog not to chew our shoes, the picture we have in our mind at that moment is of the dog doing exactly that. Instead of sending that mental image, try sending the image of the dog happily chewing a chew stick or rawhide bone. Their perception of the image is immediate. Animals have excellent hearing so there is never any need to yell at your pet.

Intuitive pet talk with your beloved little friend means paying attention to what is going on in your pet’s life on a daily basis and how it may be affecting them. What is their response to the food you provide for them, their snacks and their treats. Allow yourself to hear (sense/feel) what they are telling you.

As you set with your pet in quiet time, tell your pet how much you appreciate and love them. The more you relax and just be with your pet, the more you vibrate to the same frequency to receive their messages to you. Some people have had excellent results as they synchronize breathing with their pet for a deeper connection…they breath a little faster than us but as you experiment with this technique, you will begin to intuit their messages easier. This loving quiet time with your pet is wonderfully therapeutic to say the least.

Communicating with your pet in their own language truly adds to the abundance of nature’s bountiful supply of riches. You may find your pet sharing humorous images that bring joy and laughter into your life. Other images may be more subtle and tender that you would otherwise miss out without your communicative connection.

Being in sync with your pet will also help you to take care of their health needs and perhaps even precisely identify any discomfort they may have. Your pet depends on you for good healthcare, nutrition, socialization and even grooming. With so many different choices of pet care products and services that are available, it can be overwhelming, unless of course you recognize the images and feelings that your pet prefers.

The love you and your pet share; you already know how to communicate with your pets. Taking this a step deeper is what pet psychics do to establish a rapport. You will too; as you begin to open your mind and heart to the animal kingdom in general. It is amazing how fast your ability to talk with animals develop as you simply reflect on the images and feelings your pet conveys to you.

Animals that live in the wild depend on communication for survival. They project sounds and colors with astute discerning frequency levels that reach hundreds of miles. There has been a great deal of study on animal communication over the years with fascinating results.

Pets love the sounds and information projected from wild life. Nature television shows and videos are an educational source you may wish to consider for you and your pet to enjoy. Kicking back and hanging out with your pet on movie night is a great way to expand your awareness and bond with your little one on his or her level.

Psi Journal: Reaching Beyond The Sixth Sense

Psi Journal: Reaching Beyond The Sixth Sense

Karma

Have you ever thought to send love and light energy to someone you can not stand? You would think that if someone did you wrongly or should learn their lesson by what they have done to someone that you thought they cared about should feel bad and negetive.

If you think of this person in your deepest thoughts and send them love you are creating good Karma, good energy. If you think of someone with negetive thoughts you're creating negetive Karama. Have you ever heard of the saying, you will get what you put out there? It will bummerang on you and come back to you. What I am trying to say is to be positive. Take only positive energy inside you. If someone tries to pull you into their mucky energy, try to make you feel bad for something you're not too proud of either, don't take it. You're accepting their bad Karma.

Hold onto your love, kiss it into the palms of your hands. Hold onto it with love and through it back into the Universe.

Enriched With Gratitude

An uneventful or even a disastrous day is filled with valued gifts when we take a moment to reflect upon them.
A long line of people stood in the checkout line of the new department store in town. A lady with her arms full of items, while holding a toddler on her hip, waited patiently for her turn to check out. A total stranger, who was next in line to check out, motioned to her to step in front of him. Her face beamed with gratitude as she passed the five people in front of her and took his place in line. It was such a small act of kindness; yet, her heart was overwhelmed with happiness. She experienced a brief, but genuine moment of sincere gratitude, with such joy, that it altered the course of her day.
Gratitude is one of the most important components for attracting prosperity and abundance. No matter how brief the experience may be, joy and abundance is the accompanying emotion of gratitude. F-e-e-l-i-n-g abundant, prosperous, joyful, enriched with gratitude makes it a reality.
On the surface, a sense of feeling indebted in one way or the other to the person who took care of you or gave of themselves, but looking deeper, that feeling is actually an advanced awareness of being connected to another human being. From this intimate human connection comes the awareness of being connected to everything in the Universe.
When we break out of our small, self centered enterprises and viewpoints with all those expectations and control dramas, gratitude flows freely. We appreciate the intentions and even the simplest gesture of kindness. Everything in our world begins to look lighter, brighter and rich.
We are supported in countless ways and by one and other through every moment of our lives. Thanks to all those engineers, technical designers, assembly workers, salespeople and many others who brought to you the computer you are using, you begin to feel a sense of gratitude and appreciation.
Reflecting back to when you awakened from sleep, go through the day’s events and notice all the luxury of your life. The rich taste of your morning coffee is especially appreciated when you think of process and the journey of the coffee to meet its destination for you to enjoy.
As you reflect on all that is in your world and the life you live, you will most likely feel an insurmountable sense of gratitude to the world. This is actually an insight that is humbling and exposes your inner desire to be of service and generous to others.
Going through the day’s events in the same way as becoming aware of your prosperous life, except this time, notice what you have given to others generates the flow of abundance in the continuum of appreciation and gratitude.
You will be inspired by the variety of ways that your wealth has increased and you will feel connected to the increased wealth of others as you become more grounded in gratitude.

Mastering Extra Sensory Perception

Processing Psychic Information Skills

Active Precognition vs. Creative Imagination

Be actively involved in the interpretation of your extra sensory perception process, receiving precognitive information versus your creative imagination:

• Take responsibility for keeping a journal, recording your insights, recognizing what you do and don't know, and knowing how to ask the correct questions in your mind to help you with what you don't know.
• Set up your personal session every day and take complete notes. Formulate your questions based on simple direct visual examples.
• Be an active participant, using your ESP in your daily affairs. Get ahead every day; try to perceive some of the events and circumstances, the day before. Anticipate what the challenges are and what your next step will be to achieve your desired results.
• Ask questions in your mind, record answers in your journal! Try to change your vision; you can alter the vision if it is your imagination. You can not alter precognitive information.
• Good exercise habits with your ESP everyday makes it easier to master and control your ability.

Exploring ESP is Different from Exploring Other Subjects

• Mastering your psychic abilities is learned by putting them into action. Questions help you learn to access and develop various techniques such as derma optic perception, radiesthesia, remote viewing to name a few. You do need to explore these skills even though you may not specialize in them.
• A word of encouragement: Each skill builds on other ones. You're always reviewing previous psi exploration as you explore new data. Many of these skills are interconnected. Identifying and learning these basic skills and concepts means you will move from one technique to the other in obtaining accurate information in predicting and problem solving at will.

Problem Solving (ESP and Self Testing)

• When you work on problem solving for yourself or others, ask yourself complete and specific questions, as if you were describing every detail of a landscape. Don't just ask vague questions like, “will I get a promotion soon?” Reword the question to identify who, what, where and when; don't just do some mental demonstration of your imagination to convince yourself that you have the correct answer. If you can't get the answer, go back to describing the question.
• The practice you get in looking for solutions, asking yourself detailed questions and receiving answers will help you in gain the confidence you need in psychically reading anyone or any situation.


Tips on Problem Solving

Apply Self Testing:

1. The first and most important step in solving a problem is to test your psychic information, that is, identify exactly which is the imagination, wishful thinking or desired result, by making sure you are receiving accurate psychic data.
2. Next you need to devise a plan, that is, identify which skills and techniques you have developed can be applied to solve the problem at hand.
3. Psychically scan practical solutions adjacent the problem.
4. Activate the solution: Does the solution you found seem practical and doable? Also review the problem by asking yourself questions and method of solution.
Some problem-solving strategies: use one or more skills, consider derma optic perception if the problem involves an object, try remote viewing if the problem suggests a determined time and location, ask yourself and test yourself , draw a picture or diagram of what you are psychically receiving, work radiesthesia, use the solutions of your psychic conclusions.


Getting Assistance

Get help as soon as you need it. Don't wait until you are confused and frustrated. Psychic development builds on experience and practice. Anything you don't understand now will discourage you, stop or retard your progress.


You Control the Help You Get

Psychic Instructors should be coaches, not crutches! They should encourage you, give you hints as you need them, and show you how to perform various psychic techniques. But they should not, nor be expected to, actually do the work you need to do. They are there to help you develop and use your extra sensory perception for yourself.

• When you research a psychic instructor, have a specific list of questions prepared in advance related to background, accomplishments and work experience.
• Ask for a list of referrals, do the work and check them out!
• Do not allow yourself to be intimidated by the tutor or dependent in any way.

You must recognize the importance of having a friendly adequate rapport with the tutor and that sometimes you do need some coaching to help you become psychically skilled, and it is up to you to seek out that coaching.

2007 Sphere of Consciousness

For the first time in our human consciousness, we are remembering the first light of pure thought creation that we individually manifested into this physical reality. We are at this moment entering the first wave of this awareness and experiencing the electrical charge of pure white light.


2007 is a phenomenal year of spiritual evolution; those who are in this first wave of awareness are headed straight for their first reunion with the core of the Universe since the beginning of existence. The core of the universe is often referred to as our true home, if anyplace is truly our home; the energy within the epicenter of the universe is now encompassing the earth.
Successful people are being challenged to move into and stay in their spiritual knowingness.

Everyone must shift their foundation so that they accept and credit the celestial powers within, of their manifested physical objects. Whatever method is good for you, take time to do it each and every day. During the first few months of 2007 you will find that your connectedness with the core energy of the Universe in the events of your day is without effort.


The separation of the financially wealthy and those of financial poverty is not merely an issue of distribution, but one of consciousness. Being charitable with our money and resources is a wonderful thing. Being charitable with our knowledge of moving energy for prosperity and manifesting is Divine.


In 2007 we will see all large companies providing aid and help to people who would otherwise be left alone, helpless and hungry under the disguise of business marketing. These large companies will also become actively involved in the healing of the environment.


Every inhabitant of this physical earth, either of dark or of light energies, owns a way of thinking, speaking, of seeing the world around them. Their differences define the triumphant survivors of the planet. Those of the Dark choose greed, selfishness, violence either physically, mentally, verbally, etc. while those of Light choose generosity, love, and compassion physically, mentally, verbally, etc. The numbers of people in this world who choose to love and give have gained considerably and continue to grow. They clearly out weigh and out smart those of darkness. We are all clearing out the clutter and winning over the dark side of our being.


The dark lords who have long since governed the masses have been indirectly veiled from the awareness of the rising light of evolution that has been occurring within the planet and its population during these past few years. Several of these dark lords have passed over from this physical realm. In 2007 we will witness yet another wave of powerful dark lords pass over from this realm. The pure light energy that is penetrating the earth at this time is simultaneously positioning people of light into their new destinies of portioned government power over the masses.

Many people will create new bodies of light that transform their physical image through direct concentration of pure light energy. It will seem as though miracles and phenomena are one and the same. These manifestations, in truth, begin the emotional healing that has long been sought throughout the centuries.

2007 is a year for friends and the like-minded. It is a rare year of companionship for all those of light. Any distractions that occur will become productive exchanges; casual meetings with others of light turn to visionary manifestations of created reality.

Staying grounded in the electrical charges of the year is the perhaps a challenge of balance while levels of awareness are on the rise, light frequencies higher than ever before and breakthroughs are occurring. The consciousness may seem detached from the circumstances of changes within the world but the mind will remain at peace with a sense of all-knowing.

Over the next twelve months, you may feel poised to speak out with a message of hope and unity to those dark souls struggling and teetering on the edge of some sudden change. Perhaps it is your message that they need to hear.

Introduction to Psychic Gardens by Barbara Soblewski Garcia

"As Featured On Ezine Articles"

Beautiful, enchanting psychic gardens are constructed by combining together earth, quartz and stones, plant and spirit energies. The fashion of psychic gardens lends a peaceful touch to any home and brings powerful positive energy to anyone’s personal space. The key factors are;

· Seating area placed within the garden circumference
· Water feature abbreviating the link between the spirit and physical worlds.
· Auspicious planting

The seating area should be shaded with vegetation but not covering the day or night sky. The placement of quartz surrounding the seating area activates an energy field. Energy will follow the architecture lineage style; many people prefer to place their quartz first and foremost before beginning their garden design.

Such items as cedar swings and lawn chairs or even an old tree stump provide comfortable seating and convenience of holding beverages. In all psychic or metaphysical exploration, it is most important to keep the body hydrated. It is also important to ware comfortable clothing that does not restrict your natural flow. Soft waterproof pillows in fabric or straw are suggested as an accent in your seating arrangement.

All forms of water features accentuate the psychic garden. There are endless possibilities: delicately carved birdbaths, water fall displays, drinking fountains, ponds. Create what reflects you; after all, this is your garden for your unique psychic ventures.

A planting guide that is natural to your area zone is available at your local garden nursery. Native plants are favorable to survive in its native soil and climate.

Carefully evaluate the shape and color of your plants and allow that shape and color to accentuate the flow of energy for auspicious planting. For example, the Aloe Vera plant has long pointed leaves, loves the sun but can grow in partly shaded areas. Planted along the low sides of your garden will shoot the energy toward the area that the leaves are pointed. Aloe Vera is wonderful to keep on hand for first aid treatments. Just clip a leaf and smooth the sap onto the injury. You may also experiment with Aloe Vera in creams and lotions. It is also used as a medicinal plant.

Include as many healing, protective plants as your garden size allows. There are many different varieties of Sage. The California White Sage is famous for its dispelling negative energy properties. It can also be clipped, dried and prepared in small bundles to purge the interior of your home leaving the fresh scent of the outdoors in every room.

Purple coneflowers also known as Echinacea are a favorite to strengthen health and healing as well as attract butterflies into your garden.

Live goldfish in your pond or even plastic fish in your water feature is symbolic of wealth and success.

Spend intuitive time in your garden and add what your instincts tell you. Within a few months you will have created an energy vortex that will revitalize you and nourish you as well as provide grounding support for your expanding psychic mind.

Be creative within the boundaries of your quartz circumference. You may wish to add a bronze or stone statue reflecting your culture or perhaps a dazzling array of flowers accented with red bricks or river rocks. Try creating a garden maze made of stepping stones or small hedge. These are just some ideas; your imagination can create the ultimate eye catching scenery.

The most important suggestion in creating your psychic garden is to take your time. You will want to experience every season and contemplate each gift they may bring.

Your psychic garden will provide clarity of your concentrated thoughts and the ease of psychic communication with the world around you.
