Book Review: Through the Eyes of Another, Karen Noe

Book Review: Through the EYES of another, A Medium’s Guide to Creating Heaven on Earth by Encountering Your Life Review Now - Karen Noe

"I often hear regrets from those who have crossed over to the other side that they should have or could have said or done certain things while they were still here.” - Karen Noe

One by one, the synchronicities in my life lined up pointing in the direction of this book.  I did not know what to expect when I requested a copy of Through the EYES of another by the New Jersey, Psychic Medium Karen Noe, other than the fact that signs seem to be urging me to read it ... and so ... I did. 

An inspirational and healing spiritual book, Through the EYES of another, A Medium’s Guide to Creating Heaven on Earth by Encountering Your Life Review Now  (Hay House, June 2012) by psychic medium Karen Noe is a unique and empowering book that brings light to dark places ... 

Karen Noe

After a profound spiritual experience Karen encountered when a beautiful white light appeared in her house and slowly floated towards her eventually encompassing her with brilliant white light, as you would expect, she was never the same.  The light engulfed her with a deep feeling of tranquility and peace, whispering telepathically in her ear in Italian.  "Luce lucina, bella luce lucina", which translates in English to "Light, little light, beautiful little light."  From that day forward Karen Noe began to receive messages from those who have passed over and the angels regularly.

Karen Noe is a psychic medium and the founder of the Angel Quest Center in Ramsey, New Jersey, where she gives readings, practices alternative healing and teaches classes. She is a Certified Spiritual Counselor (certified by author Doreen Virtue), a Usui and Lightarian Reiki Master and Energy Healer, a Certified Hypnotherapist, and a Past Life Regressionist. Karen earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Boston University and her Masters Degree in Business from Fordham University.  She hosts a radio show called Angel Quest on www.wrcr.com the first Saturday of every month. 

Through the Eyes of Another is Karen Noe's first book published by Hay House, although she has another book titled, The Rainbow Follows the Storm: How to Obtain Inner Peace by Connecting with Angels and Deceased Loved Ones (Blue Dolphin Publishing, Inc, March 5, 2005).  Karen is also featured in Healing with the Angels, Angel Visions, and Earth Angels by Doreen Virtue.  She has been published in A.R.E.'s Venture Inward Magazine as well.

Through the Eyes of Another

Through the Eyes of Another takes the reader to a place that perhaps is not the most comforting for many - DEATH ... and transforms this uneasiness to a pure and inexhaustible joy and vigor for life.  How does she create such a miracle you ask ... by bringing HOPE.  Hope is a magical ingredient and would make a great nickname for Karen Noe.

The Life Review

Karen takes the reader on a compassionate and loving journey of forgiveness, healing and heart-filled communications that leads to a more peaceful and joyful life.  The life review is something that is said to occur at death, a purgatory of sorts, when an entire life time flashes before the eyes and can be intensely felt as though it is happening all over again.  During a life review ... in this in-between plateau ... the person will experience each life event from their own perspective, as well as the perspective and emotions of everyone else who was effected by a choice that the person has made.  It can be a transformational experience in one's life ...  if they come back to life ... experiencing the life review during a near death experience.  The beauty of this book, the first of its kind, is that Karen is guiding the reader to do a life review now, while still living.  Think about it ... Wouldn't you love to effect people in such a wonderful, loving way that when you die, you will feel how wonderful you made them feel ...   

The Power Of A Letter

The heart-opening wisdom of Karen Noe is like having a personal spiritual development teacher by your side.  Karen shows the reader how to preform a life review by writing different types of letters.  Letters to yourself, the deceased, people in your life ... Guidance toward seeing things from the eyes of others helps the reader to process events in a compassionate and loving way.  You do not have to physically send the the letters.  The intention and energy is enough to create change ...  Karen has an entire chapter on writing a letter to yourself ... perhaps the most important chapter of all!

This book is much like a workbook, without the work space.  Extra paper is mandatory.  Healing tears poured while reading and I find myself more joyful and happy already ... The book inspired me to take action.  A life review is all about the understanding that we are all responsible for our lives.  When I die I want to see my life flash before me and think ... "Wow, this is what I did.  I am so proud.  I did this.  Look at all the people I have touched ... "

Closing

Thank you Karen Noe.  You are an exceptional woman, embraced by an exceptional publisher ... a perfect fit!

I received the book from Hay House for review purposes.  The opinions are completely my own, based on my personal experience.

Earth Drum Visions

Earth Drum Visions is sure to inspire you to reconnect to the natural world.

"We hope that our music connects people everywhere with the Earth and inspires them to help heal and care for her." - David and Steve Gordon

Thirty years ago on this day, in 1982, Sequoia Records was born.
Internationally acclaimed music legends, David and Steve Gordon, gave birth to Sequoia Records after being inspired by a backpacking trip to Sequoia National Park.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of their award-winning career,
Steve and David released Earth Drum Visions, a collection of eight of their favorite songs paired up with nature films featuring America's most pristine natural environments. The natural footage, which was originally shot in state-of-the-art High-Definition by award-winning filmmakers, is beautifully synchronized with the music. The Earth Drum Visions DVD and CD collection is part of Sequoia’s new "Music and Vision" series.

A Multi-Sensory Experience

The Gordon brothers' cinematic surround-sound audio score is combined
with scenery shot by filmmakers Michael Heumann, Quinn Schumaker and
Leslie King, each element bringing the other to life. This merging
creates a multi-sensory experience and ambiance that is unmatched.

The Gordon brothers have looked back over their innovative twenty-five
year career and selected eight tracks for this collection. Earth Drum
Visions is rich in Tribal drums, sounds of nature, Native American
flute, keyboards, Andean panpipes, guitars and percussion from all over
the world. The compositions move from relaxing, quieter pieces to more
emotionally stirring, heat inducing tempos and rhythms. The spiritual
roots of the sounds are evident, making the DVD a great tool for
meditation and yoga.

Two Cats On The Cool Train

David and Steve have been putting out award winning albums since I was a
small tot. The Gordon Brothers are an unstoppable force in new age
music, with nature backing them up ... literally.

They are committed to creating music that connects people to the earth
and to the deepest parts of themselves. Sequoia Records has more healing
music planned for the future.

One of the great aspects of this label is that, with its peace of mind
guarantee, you can enjoy Sequoia music risk-free . Sequoia allows you to
return any purchase for a full refund or exchange and best of all, their
guarantee has no time limit. It lasts forever.

I highly recommend the Earth Drum Visions DVD and CD collection. You
will not be disappointed. For more information please visit Sequoia Records.

Three Minute Egg® Yogi Meal Starter Kit Review

Three Minute Egg® Yogi Meal Starter Kit Review  

Our aura is egg shaped ... and now so are yoga props.  Taking the place of traditional square yoga blocks, the Three Minute Egg® can do everything they can do plus much more.

The Three Minute Egg®  is basically a traditional block that has had its corners rounded into an oval shape, making it possible to use them many different ways.  Ergonomically designed, they contour the body ... comfortable to use.

The creator of the Three Minute Egg®, Jason Scholder stumbled into this innovative yoga and health tool when trying to eliminate some of his back pain.  The yoga community has been eating omelets ever since, adding dimensions never before possible to their yoga practice.

Extremely versatile, the Three Minute Egg® props are useful in different ways for everyone, accommodating the unique needs of each person.  For myself I enjoy stretching my upper back and using the eggs to help with more difficult, challenging asanas.  My husband uses them to remedy his sore back often and finds them comforting, relaxing and effective in aligning his vertebrae.  They have an endless amount of uses and I find them to be very valuable in my own home practice.  If you are dealing with issues like arthritis, carpel tunnel and other aches and pains in general they help a lot.

The Three Minute Egg® Yogi Meal Starter Kit comes with 2 Hard-Boiled Eggs (harder eggs), 4 Namasteggs (softer, original style egg), the Special Edition Alignment & Flow DVD, and a backpack.

Highly recommended!

Teachers love them too ... a great addition to the yogi's tool chest.

Price: $119.00

Pros

• 30-day Satisfaction guarantee full refund, minus all shipping costs
• Lots of beautiful colors to choose from
• Fun
• Durable
• Easy to use
• Yoga teachers around the world love them
• Innovative
• Effective

Review: The Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set

 My Tarot teacher always taught us about Pamela Coleman Smith.  She is the artist, and these days the artist is a big deal, but unfortunately that was not always true.

This set was such a pleasant surprise.  I expected it to be nice, but what I received topped the charts.  This lovely, commemorative set includes the original deck, the Pictorial Key to the Tarot book, a book of other art by Pamela Coleman Smith and postcards, images and lots of other beautiful treasures.  I cannot recommend this set enough.


The following is from the USGames Site.

Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Rider-Waite Deck, the Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative set will be cherished by all tarot collectors and art lovers.

The deluxe set includes the Smith-Waite Centennial Tarot Deck and two books; The Artwork and Times of Pamela Colman Smith, by Stuart R. Kaplan, with over 100 examples of her non-tarot art, and The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite, in a new format. The Smith-Waite Centennial Edition Tarot Deck is reproduced from the original 1909 deck and comes with a 78-card deck with drawstring organza bag.

The set also includes: 2 prints of Pamela Colman Smith, one photo and one self-portrait, both 5” x 7” suitable for framing; six color postcards of artwork by Pamela Colman Smith; and Spread Sheet Guide. Everything is attractively packaged in a deluxe keepsake case.

About Pamela Colman Smith
She was born February 16, 1878, in Middlesex, England to American parents. Her childhood years were spent between London, New York, and Kingston, Jamaica. During her teens, she traveled throughout England with the theatre company of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. Thereafter, she began formal art training at the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, graduating in 1897.

Although American by birth, she returned to England, where she became a theatrical designer for miniature theatre, and an illustrator -- mainly of books, pamphlets and posters.

Around 1903, she joined the Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1909, under the guidance of Arthur Edward Waite, she undertook a series of seventy-eight allegorical paintings described by Waite as a rectified tarot pack. The designs, published in the same year by William Rider and Son, exemplify the mysticism, ritual, imagination, fantasy, and deep emotions of the artist.

Pamela Colman Smith would all but be forgotten except for the seventy-eight tarot paintings known as the Rider-Waite Tarot pack. She would no doubt be astonished and gladdened to know that today the deck touches the hearts and emotions of millions of people.

Review: Exploring Tarot Using Radiant Rider-Waite® Tarot

The Exploring Tarot Using Radiant Rider-Waite® Tarot is a beautiful set that includes a book, the cards and a large fold out poster containing a 10-card Tarot spread.

The Radiant deck is the same Rider-Waite deck that we all love, or most of us anyhow (as this is the most used deck worldwide) but it has been shaded with more rich and vibrant colors.  I find the faces are more revealing as well.

I love this.  It is great for beginners, seasoned professionals and makes a great gift.

DVD Reviews: Dance The Chakras & Kundalini Short Sets For Inspiration & Ecstacy

Kundalini Yoga With Ana Brett and Ravi Singh is a fun way to get into shape quickly while connecting to your divine potential.

Our primary objective", say Ana & Ravi, "is to help people learn to live a healthy and happy, more peaceful life that continues to challenge them to grow. We teach a system of exercise and meditation that fully integrates the body, mind, and spirit."

Husband and wife team, Ana Brett and Ravi Singh have a lot of charm and positivity that they share in their Kundalini Yoga DVD's. They have a way of making yoga fun, while still keeping it spiritual, authentic and effective. Many western yoga DVD's strip all the spirituality out, leaving only bleached exercises designed to get your body into shape alone. Ravi and Ana are concerned with the health of the spirit, the mind, the emotions and the body. Moderations are given for the exercises so you can increase your practice with time, allowing the DVD's to be ideal for yogi's of all levels. Powerful and addictive, Ravi & Ana's kundalini yoga is an easy way to get into shape quickly, while helping to connect you to your divine potential.

Yoga was originally considered a preparation technique for the inner evolution and outer transformation known as Kundalini. Kundalini is a creative, motivating force within that empowers us to excel in all things.  Kundalini yoga is a specific style of yoga for developing character, strength and consciousness. Known as the yoga of awareness, kundalini yoga focuses on exercises that expand sensory awareness and intuition.

A spiritual, physical, and mental discipline, kundalini yoga blends the science of sequence, movement, chanting, breathing, stretching and meditation. Kundalini yoga is more about the the power of breathing than concentrating on difficult exercises.

A unique element to this yoga is the breath of fire, a steady, in and out forceful breath through the nose, combined with specific positions and stretches, which provides an aerobic effect. The breath of fire oxygenates and purifies the bloodstream, stimulates the nadis and other energy flows in the body, stimulates the pituitary gland and helps bring all of the glands into balance and strengthens the magnetic field of the body.

Kundalini Yoga with Ravi & Ana is without question, the best yoga workouts I have ever done in my life.All of the kundalini yoga DVD's by Ana Brett and Ravi Singh utilize creative, intelligent sequencing. The yoga workouts are easy to follow and pleasant to listen to. Ana and Ravi take turns with the narration, lacing the dialogue with inspiring positive affirmations. The signature kundalini breath of fire interweaves in and out throughout the DVD's, taking turns with long and deep breathing.  These DVD's are quick to get you in shape - mind, body and spirit. The music is beautiful, the directions are easy to follow and the entire feel is relaxing, yet intense.  All three of these DVD's can be done (with the help of the matrix) by the beginner or the seasoned yogi.

Ana & Ravi’s in-depth knowledge of physical anatomy and its metaphysical counterparts spill into the DVD's, keeping things interesting no matter how many times you do the workouts. The unique blend of breathing, inner focus, stretching, meditation, and chanting keep the the DVD's moving in a relaxed, yet exciting way. They are thorough workouts that keep true to traditional kundalini yoga with a modern, hip and colorful makeover.

These two soul mates have authored over 22 DVD’s and books. Together they have trained over 300 practicing kundalini yoga teachers. The beautiful Ana Brett appears to get younger with age, perhaps an effect of the kundalini yoga that she practices on a daily basis. With 40 years combined teaching experience they continue to travel and teach workshops, conferences and retreats worldwide. They come across as knowledgeable and sincere both in person and in the DVDs.

Yoga has been like a magic potion in my life, something the saints and medicine healers have always known.  Overall I find all of Ravi and Ana's yoga workouts to be some of the most valuable yoga DVD's that I own ... and I have a lot of them, nearly a hundred.  I enjoy the positivity of the narrative, the soundtrack and the demonstration of the exercises by Ana. The Ravi & Ana collection is fun to watch and listen to even if you do not actually participate.

Both the Warrior Workout and the Yoga Bliss Hips are amazing.  They are both a lot of fun, just as all the other Ana & Ravi DVDS are.  Ana is as beautiful and lovely inside and out as always and the DVDS are well made and the quality and production is top-notch.  Containing exercises for strength building, aerobic efficiency, detoxing and flexibility ... the routines are simple enough to jump right in, but challenging enough to keep you pushing harder.  My left hip has been giving me a little pain lately, and I noticed that the more that I exercise it the better, so I was especially looking forward to the Yoga Hips Bliss workout.  I find that doing this routine keeps my hips feeling good, without any pain whatsoever ... hurray.

I especially love the older DVDs, the first ones that Ana and Ravi did together ... the days of the cute brunette and stomach grinding as a warm-up.  Years ago, my husband bought me a yoga DVD and it was one of Ravi and Ana's Kundali routines.  I fell in love with yoga because of them and the older DVDs that they have remind me of those days and that important fact ... they inspired me ... and they will inspire you too.

Thanks you guys.  I love you both!!!

Review - Divine Rebels: Saints, Mystics, Holy Change Agents - and You

Divine Rebels: Saints, Mystics, Holy Change Agents - and You By Caroline Myss, Andrew Harvey

This is an important time in our world, a time of great change, unlike any other ...

This timely and much-needed 9 disc set fuels the passion of the sacred flame of truth that lives as a potential seed in the hearts of us all.

Facing these challenging times of transformation can be a frightening experience with the threat of a lack of soulful, spiritual direction and truth.  How many people in the world do you think are wandering around in life, wondering and wondering, wandering and wandering while feeling lost? ... lost?  If you have ever felt lost in life, unsure, confused, baffled and even dumb ... If you have ever felt this way, and I know that everyone has or will at one time or another, this CD set will have something for you, offering great hope and inspiring words that are powerfully graceful, while wildly courageous.

Divine Rebellion lives within each and every one of us, as a spiritual revolution takes place within during our evolution and experience as humans ...  

I needed this audio ... honest, soulful and poetic.  It has opened my eyes to the truth that I locked up in my heart, guiding me toward the strength in my foundation that I have been needing for so long.  Nourishing to the soul, even if one sentence in this entire ten hours of audio resonates with you, the purity of the wisdom will stay with you your entire life. 

The truth has caused rebellion through out the ages and this audio is the answer to the many prayers of uncertainty as to what to do in the world today, when lies and corruption are a part of so much in our world.

Myss and Harvey guide us, teaching to listen for the same divine voice that called out and spoke to history's greatest spiritual rebels - Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, Mother Mary, St John and many others.

Caroline Myss is a Saint, a divine rebel herself, whose voice and words are like the nectar of this experience called life.  Her no nonsense, tough, honest approach is enlightening, enriching, empowering and incredible.  I love this women ... the sacred has most certainly called to her.  I feel somewhat converted, as though I have been initiated into the richness of my soul, as though I have gone through the woods of my heart, guided by the mystical and saintly Caroline Myss and Andrew Harvey.  A wave of love, truth and balanced clarity has washed my wombs and purified my soul.
