BOOK AND MEDIA NEWS
Santa has two new goodies in his bag for Kindle readers! The holiday season turns attention to angels, and this month only you can get my collection of inspiring, true Christmas angels stories for a bargain 99 cents. These original stories feature angelic interventions that help people through crises and major turning points in life. All stories have a link to Christmastime, but the situations happen every day.

Speaking of angels, join me and George Noory on Coast to Coast AM December 20 for a program on angels, their origins, lore and ways of working in the world. I will be on at 11 PM PST/2 AM EST.

For those who like a little darkness in their holiday cheer, I have published a brand-new book, Rosemary Ellen Guiley’s Guide to the Dark Side on Kindle. This unique collection of twenty articles deals with ghosts, demons, Djinn, curses, the evil eye, skinwalkers, vampires, Men in Black, psychic protection and more. I include some of my own experiences, and also provide tips for averting and resolving paranormal problems. The launch is in e-book format only. A print edition will be released sometime next year.

In other news…
French language rights for Canada have been sold for The Vengeful Djinn, published in March by Llewellyn. For an eye-opener on the present activities of the Djinn, visit my website Djinn Universe (www.djinnuniverse.com) and check out the “Tell Your Djinn Story!” page.

FATE magazine, for which I have been a consulting editor, columnist and contributor since 1991, has been optioned for story material by the producers of Paranormal Activity and Paranormal State. http://bit.ly/sJCA02 Congratulations, Phyllis Galde and team!

And don’t forget… if you have an interest in the high-tech side of real-time spirit communications, check out Talking to the Dead, my co-authored book with George Noory. We also explore how we might be changed when technology enables the afterlife to become the accessible neighborhood next door.

MAX THE CRYSTAL SKULL IS COMING TO WEST VIRGINIA!

I am pleased to co-host one of the most popular duo in the metaphysical community, JoAnn Parks and the authentic crystal skull Max, for a special weekend in Bridgeport, WV, May 18-20, 2012. Joining me in sponsorship are Tonya and Joey Madia, co-founders of New Mystics in Fairmont, WV. This is the first-ever appearance of Max in WV.

Max will be available for private sessions on the evening of May 18, all day Saturday May 19, and the morning of Sunday May 20. On Saturday evening at 7 PM, JoAnn will present her special inspiring lecture about her journey to Max and his message for humanity. Space is very limited and this event will sell out, so contact Tonya at tonya@newmystics.com to reserve your session and lecture places!

In private sessions, you may meditate with Max, bring objects for spiritual charging, do photography, EVP, channeling, whatever you like. Sessions are a minimum of one-half hour, and can be shared by up to four persons. Contact Tonya for rates and reservations.

I have had the MAX experience, and this is why I am co-hosting this event, to bring him to a new audience. You can read my account at http://bit.ly/u8sob2.

JoAnn will have her specially charged crystal skulls and crystal skulls jewelry available for purchase.

MAILBAG Q&A

Q: What is the difference between fairies and elementals?

A: Fairies are diverse races of supernatural beings who share the planet with us. According to lore, they were here first, and gradually retreated as humans took over the planet. Their own realm is the equivalent of a parallel dimension, and they have the ability to be in our world at their choosing. They have varying sizes, shapes and appearances, and possess supernatural abilities such as invisibility. Some are helpful to humans and some are tricksters. They may reside in homes or, more commonly, out in the natural world. Fairies have been associated with the four elements, which confuses them with elementals.

Elementals are beings or forces that embody the elements of nature. According to lore, elementals can assume human form and, like fairies, intermingle sexually with humans. Elementals are invoked in magical rituals and spells to release the raw power of a particular element.

Tips for Manifesting Your Goals
By Rosemary Ellen Guiley
Copyright Visionary Living, Inc. 2011

Year’s end is a time for reflecting upon events and accomplishments, successes and failures, and for setting a course for the coming year. Resolutions are made for change. Intentions are high – how well will you manifest those goals?

The art of manifestation is a combination of resources: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. All four must be employed to bring about desired changes. It takes discipline, but in a few minutes every day, you can train yourself to have powerful forces in motion at all times. Let’s take a look at the building blocks:

Spiritual. First, we need an inspired vision. Circumstances in the world motivate us to change, but even more important are the impulses from the spiritual realms that reach us through the Higher Self, our dreams, and inner promptings. Spiritual inspiration directs us to the unfoldment of our life’s journey, the unique path that each of us follows. Prayer, meditation and knowing one’s heart open the way for inspired vision. We are in harmony with the cosmos. We see a desired outcome, a desired change, and we are inspired to reach for it.

Mental. Our thoughts, intention, and will provide the raw power for manifestation. Thought creates reality. Think failure and you will get failure. Think success and you will have it. Maintaining positive thought is a challenge under most circumstances, and in a global news community mired in chaos, disasters, and doomsday predictions, it is even more challenging. What you think, you become. Few people truly understand the tremendous creative power of thought. Instead, we are taught to dismiss thought as fantasy.

Emotional. Those who succeed best at manifesting their goals feel them – and feed them — on every level of their being. Not only is the goal envisioned mentally, but it engages all of the senses until it become real. Feel it, see it, hear it, touch it, taste it.

Physical. Action is the final step that puts the previous elements into motion. We have to apply ourselves in the physical world – look for opportunities, take risks, make decisions, stop procrastinating. Nothing is handed to us on a platter. Sometimes manifestation takes a long time to work out. Our own forces in motion are working alongside other forces in motion. There may be course corrections along the way. Manifestation, like any art, is a work in progress, subject to refinement and change as our vision and sense of purpose grow and change. Sometimes we realize that what we set out to achieve isn’t what we really want, so we must alter course. We also have to learn when to push and when to hold back and be patient.

Here is a visualization that I find effective for focusing thought and intention:

Sit in a comfortable position with both feet on the floor. Focus on the breath. On the inhale, visualize a stream of golden white light entering the body through the head, and circulating through every body part and cell. On the exhale the breath flows down the body, out through the feet and into the earth. This opens the crown chakra to the spiritual plane and grounds the energy into the physical plane.

The light comes from the Divine Source of All Being, the eternal cycle of creation. When the light has filled your body, channel some of into your hands. The hands are symbols of manifestation, power and work in the world. Visualize your goal while you fill your hands with light. When your hands feel hot, heavy and full, hold the palms outward and send the light, along with your goal, into the Divine Source of All Being. Consider it done.

Do not become discouraged if you do not get quick results. Instant access on the internet has conditioned us to expect instant results for whatever we want, but in real life this is not the case. Some results do happen quickly, but others take time – even a long time – to work out. Sometimes there are intermediate steps that must be accomplished first. The art of manifestation is fluid and cannot be forced.

If you practice focusing your thought and intention for a few minutes a day, the energy will build and become part of the backdrop of how you engage in daily life. It will help you have a clearer head about all sorts of decisions, big and small.

Happy holidays and best wishes for the new year! Let’s make 2012 a year of positive transformation!
