Human Design is a system which has reveled substantial truths to me since I began studying it not long ago. The premise of the system is that we are all endowed with a very unique and individual design; this design when we are tuned in provides the necessary guidance we need in this life. Our design determines our attractions, frustrations brought on by resistance and conditioning, our specific trajectory thru life and how we engage others is determined by how our Aura functions. There are funct …

We've all heard the local "ghost story", the aunt with the old home who has "guests", the shop where things mysteriously move around, the child who talks to someone that no one else can see. In this group, we will investigate those sites, whenever and wherever possible. Non-physical Beings, aka Spirits, can take up residence in people, places, and things; those of us in the physical realm feel their presence, often in subtle ways. Regarding ghosts (which are spirits, though most spirits are not …

"All truth is in your heart, not in the physical heart, but in the core within yourself where your true self resides. To access that truth you must open your heart and Reiki TUMMO can help you do just that.

I am starting this group as a reaction to what I see as a necessary, but neglected aspect of what it is to be human, and living in this age. All of us, to some degree, store emotional patterns in the body. The purpose of this storage is to protect the ego so we can maintain some stability during times of stress. This is not a flawed function of the body. The protective emotional armoring that results over time needs to be addressed otherwise there is the possibility of a progression toward vario …

Angry Black Women Poem By L. Aaron As much as I hate to say it and add fuel to the flames that singes away at the souls of a race of beautiful women. I must confess that I am an angry black woman. She and I are one in the same and yet one of many. I accept this title with acknowledgement and realization that it does not define me and the essence of my being. It is not the single most relevant characteristic of who I am as a woman of African decent. It is however an identifying emotion of my lif …
