From a very early age, Michele Renee exhibited the signs of a "Medium". She had a way of just "Knowing" things before they happened. Michele's web site: http://www.postcardsfromheaven.net/ Michele finally realized she had the ability to communicate outside the living world when something happened to a family friend. He suddenly became ill and was hospitalized. The night it happened, she awoke from a particularly deep sleep to experience a vision unlike any other she had ever had. She was witnessing Tony making his transition to the other side. Approximately one hour later the telephone rang and it was the hospital informing Michele and her family that Tony had in fact passed on. Completely devastated, she sheepishly inquired as to the time of Tony's passing and found that the time of death was practically the same moment she had first started the vision! This experience profoundly affected Michele Renee and changed her life path. Immediately she was on the road to search for more knowledge. She studied hard and earned her doctorate in Metaphysical Research from the Walter Dunn Foundation. She became ordained and formally began her work as a Medium in early 1995. Since then she has continued to study and train with some of the greatest Mediums in the world. She has also garnered many awards and accolades including the 2001, "Reader Of The Year" award from the Learning Light Institute, and the Starlight Reader Award.In this interview, I will explore how Michele's gifts have changed her life and other's. I will attempt to demystify what it is to be a spiritual medium and psychic so that we can all understand how it is done, and how to recognize intuition and messages from regular thoughts. It is well documented that all of us have abilities, and it is up to us whether or not we choose to develop them. Michele teaches seminars on mediumship so she will be able to explain to all of us how this can happen.

Dr. Henry Grayson, renowned Psychologist, Ph.D., author of Mindful Loving and The New Physics of Love will teach you how to Use Your Body to Heal Your Mind. Dr. Grayson will teach you how to get to the barriers to healing as well as to the basic original cause of an illness, physical or emotional. A doctor will not tell you what the cause of the diagnosis is, instead you will typically be told how to focus on repairing the symptom in a certain body part only. The underlying cause is not likely to be attended to, for it often lurks under the surface, requiring ongoing and relentless curiosity and the deep desire to know. While research has defined some of the origins of various illnesses, it most often does not get beyond the linear connection to something physical. And especially, there is rarely any attention given to identifying the barriers to health and healing. And alas, most physicians and other health care professionals are just not trained in this manner since it is rarely if ever included in traditional or naturopathic medical school curriculum, and little is presented in the curriculum in training psychotherapists. Your deeper healing may come more from embracing a quantum world view, a spiritual world view inspired by ancient wisdom traditions, or an unveiling of an unconscious psychological perspective. Growing numbers of self healers have found in their experience, as Dr. Grayson has found in his, that repeated colds, viruses, backaches and allergies are just not necessary! Nor are so many of our more serious and even life threatening illnesses inevitable and incurable!Workshops are scheduled in: Baltimore, MD on 3/6/2010, Austin Texas on 4/17/10, Rye, NY 5/7-5/8 2010, and Chicago 6/5/2010.www.henrygrayson.com to find out more or to register! call 203-227-5238
