Tulips from my garden - TM

Tina Michelle's Newsletter

Spring 2009 

Forgiveness

 

Ahhhh...... Spring!  

The tulips in my garden are in full bloom, and the garden is tilled and ready to plant.   It's time to clean out and clean up.  I started on my closets a few weeks back, but I plan to tackle all the 20 yrs worth of stuff we have accumulated since moving to our current home.   Perhaps you are feeling the need to disengage from clutter as well.  Where the mind goes, the spirit flows, so be prepared to unearth feelings as well as clutter.

We have attachments to things, and they evoke feelings when they are touched, stroked or thrown to the curb for the sanitation crew to haul away.   So, cleaning can become dramatic and suddenly your "in a mood" for no apparent reason.  The real reason, however, is the memory banks are surged with activity and it panics.  During this panic period, we want to hold on to everything (just in case we need it one day).  This is not rational thought, but rather panic that suggest we let go of nothing.

So, what about feelings when this happens?  When we begin to move our spirit around and feel we are in need of more room, what happens then?  Usually we hold on to our memories, our grudges and our bad vibes, just in case we need them again some day.  Illogical, but true. 

Forgiveness is not so much for the other person, but rather for yourselves.  It gives you the right to release the hold YOU have placed on yourself.  This hold doesn't let you move forward, but rather keeps you chained to the past.  You are the locksmith, and the key is forgiveness.

I have prepared an off newsletter site page for you on Forgiveness.  It is several methods, prayers and ceremonies for you to use if you choose to forgive someone, or ask it for yourself.  I hope you bookmark it and keep it in your favorites.  Finding the freedom and power within yourself will change your life, as it did mine.   Go HERE to view this page.


Visit my blog site: Intuitions

Spring is the time to come to life, and my physical body is ready to be reborn into a healthy vessel.  I am working hard with my body, with supplements, with oils, and with firm determination.  If you would like to join me in this quest, perhaps you have some changes you want to make as well, then visit my on going blog site.  I've never had a blog before and have no real idea what to do with one, but I will give it a shot.

Phone Sessions

I have so many clients out of work and let's face it, who isn't struggling in this economy right now?  I want to be a help to people, not a hindrance.  Some folks just cannot afford a full priced session, so I have changed my pricing.  I am now offering $50 sessions for 30 minutes of phone time with me.  There will be no mailings done at this cost, nor Angel Art.  If you take an hour (book 2 back to back appointments) I will provide Angel Art during your session.  I won't be mailing them out any longer as we lost a large mailing last year and many people didn't get their packages.  I will scan and email the Angel Art to you with an hour session.  

Go here to see what appointments are available.

Be sure to check frequently, as my personal schedule changes,

 I often open time slots from day to day, several days in a row and I will alert via the newsletter service.  If you are not signed up for that yet, you will want to do so!

Essential Suggestions

Are you new to essential oils?  Don't know what all the hoopla is about?

 Check this out!

Would like to have your own Holistic Business?  Please feel free to contact me.  Since I joined this company (basically to get my oils at a wholesale price), I have received a check each month from $400 - $1500!  I work less than 5 hours per week on this business, and it has grown by leaps and bounds.  In these times of limited or no health care insurance, we have to learn to tend to ourselves as much as possible.  These oils helped me to do just that.  Maybe they can help you too!  

Email me here if you want to learn more: info@oilsjustforyou.com 

Many of you know my new passionate discovery and near miracle worker, essential oils.  I will do my best to put a few essential oil tidbits in each newsletter.  This month, it's Oils in the Garden. (These suggestions were emailed to me by a fellow distributor).

Tulips - 2 Lips

Originally from Persia and Turkey, tulips were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where they got their common name from the Turkish word for gauze (with which turbans were wrapped) - reflecting the turban-like appearance of a tulip in full bloom.  By the 17th century, the popularity of tulips, particularly in the Netherlands, became so great that the price of a single bulb soared to new heights, causing markets to crash and putting into motion "tulip mania."

Although different tulip colors carry distinct meanings - yellow tulips symbolizing cheerful thoughts, white conveying forgiveness and purple representing royalty - a Turkish legend may be responsible for the red tulip's symbolism. The story goes that a prince named Farhad was love struck by a maiden named Shirin.  When Farhad learned that Shirin had been killed, he was so overcome with grief that he killed himself - riding his horse over the edge of a cliff.  It's said that a scarlet tulip sprang up from each droplet of his blood, giving the red tulip the meaning "perfect love."

The 11th wedding anniversary flower, it's said that the tulip’s velvety black center represents a lover's heart, darkened by the heat of passion. With the power to rival roses in their red variety and the sweet charm to express simple joy when yellow, it’s no wonder that in addition to all its other symbolism, in the language of flowers, a tulip bouquet represents elegance and grace.

Calling All New Students!

 

I took my first student in 1997, and I have learned more by being a "teacher" than I had in all the decades previous.  There is nothing more inspiring to be the best teacher I can be, than having the best students in the world.  

At this stage Discovering Your Enlightenment Spiritual Learning Series has 188 national and international students.  Each semester I choose 20 students to work with personally.  As this program grows in the coming years, I will be assigning graduates of the DYE program to teach some of the entry level classes.  2009 and 2010 will be the final years I will be teaching all of the classes myself.  Come and be a part of the Breaking 200 semester!

If you would like to review a sample (just a small part) of one of the DYE lessons, go here.

If you are considering applying for the program, please go here and fill this form out.  (If it isn't working correctly, email me tina@tinamichelle.com )

This web based program provides a variety of methods to learn about your growing spirituality.  Students at various levels of study have come to join this enlightening program.  Regardless if you are a beginner who wants to learn more about your interaction with the Universe and opening yourself up to give and receive divine council, or if you are a practitioner who may have missed some important foundation points in your past studies, this class MAY be for you.

I do want to clarify that I do not accept every student.  This is not a "pay and be certified" course.  We must be very sure of our ability to work together prior to your acceptance.  Therefore each applicant will be personally interviewed by me, thus allowing you to question me in turn.  Please take a moment and look over the following information concerning the course.  There are always more applicants than positions, but that doesn't mean you don't have as much chance as anyone else. 

   2 ways of being a part of this innovative learning series.  

  • The first is our archive web-lessons (many now with videos).  All topics are thoroughly researched and each has a full web-lesson posted allowing you to read, review and experiment using the exercises at your own set pace.  You can even print on demand and review at your leisure.  
  • The second and most exciting is the intimate on-line classrooms.  So simple and easy to use, even someone with little or no chat room type experience can easily log on to once or more a week and attend one on one learning workshops with Tina Michelle and guest speakers too!

   The entire series consists thus far of 30 lessons either already completed in the archives, or are scheduled to be posted at one point in your learning.   The current pricing is $800.00 for lifetime admittance to the program.  If you choose to pay in full for the program you will receive a $100 discount!

New this year, a 4 part payment plan!  Email tina@tinamichelle.com to learn more.

WHY DO I OFFER THIS "Pay Only Once" PROGRAM? 

Give a man a fish, or teach a man to fish......

  This study is a lifetime study, and you will always have access to the lessons and archives, as well as any new web lessons that I develop over time.  This has become my lifetime passion, so I look for many more lessons to come to pass.

  • Orientation - We discuss what is expected of both the teacher, and the student.
  • Angelic Messages I explain how I came into this gift, and share what I have learned from my four N.D.E.'s (near death experiences).   Many excepts from my book "Sometimes It's The Journey, Not The Destination" is also reviewed, including the Angelic answers to some of life's difficult questions. This alone is a 6 week presentation.
  • The Awakening - The path to enlightenment is never an easy one.  Here we discuss the highs and lows many are working through, many without even realizing they are related to spiritual awakening.
  • The Aura - There are many books on the topics of seeing auras, but no real advice on what the next step is, this topic teaches not only how to see auras, but what to do with what you see!
  • Vibrations & Energy - We call ourselves energy beings and energy workers. We review what this really means to us. What is energy and how does it affect us?  How can we begin to sense and to discern energy patterns and vibrations.  How duality resides in our lives and why.  
  • Psychic Dowsing -  This ancient divination method is studied and basic techniques are shared, including dowsing the chakras.  Basic dowsing charts are shared, and you are taught to develop your own dowsing modality.  
  • Chakras Power Centers - The 7 Seals of Solomon  -  Discussing the Chakra system alone took an entire lesson.  We review the history (who discovered them, and when?), as well as the set up of this intricate structure.  The positioning of the chakras, as well as the shapes and projections are reviewed.  The Kundalini is fully explained and the movement of it is also revealed.  Discover how to feel and sense your own (and other's) chakras.  Although there are hundreds of chakras in the body (major and minor), we will be reviewing the main 7 known as the 7 Seals of Solomon and the 7 Gateways.
  • 7 Full Lessons - Chakras Power Centers  - The Gateways Explored  -  The Chakras are each represented by individual complete workshops/chats which address each chakra in a detailed way.  Including the various planet, stone, Bach flower essence, tarot suit and many other associations with the various chakras.  Again each chakra center explored is a complete lesson in itself. - Just to understand the depth of this teaching this is a 20 week concentration including exercises.
  • Chakra System Diagnostic Directional and Symptomatic Identification - This is the final step in chakra diagnosis.  Including the complete diagnostic test developed by TM, as well as reviewing various chakra theories.  Directional instruction and exercises.  Including a deep meditation to awaken the chakras to be multi-sensory. At this stage of learning, you should be able to do actual Chakra Diagnostics for friends/family/clients.
  • Understanding the Tools of the New Age  -  When I started on my path, one of the things that overwhelmed me was the new age terminology.  Getting a full understanding of these terms can expand your comprehension of various reading materials and workshops.  We will also explore various divination methods, including many "how-to's".
  • A Trip to the Psychic Faire & Expo  -  At this stage of your development, you will begin to be drawn into a certain area.  Perhaps it is healing, or perhaps it is offering spiritual advice.  For some students, it is merely becoming obvious you want to learn and grow, and not seek a career in metaphysics.  Still, how do you discover whom you should seek out for help?
  • Native American Spirituality - This is a seminar that reviews native beliefs and terminology.  We will learn how nature itself is respected and viewed as a form of divination. A blessing technique know as "smudging" will be shared, as well as special prayers, used to help you on your path. 
  • Ancient Half-Truths - Where did our original beliefs begin?  And, how?  This historical review allows you to form your own opinions as to weather or not the origins are recorded correctly.
  • Angelic Communications - Who and what are Angels?  Where did they come from?  How can anyone open the lines of communication with them? This web lesson and exercises will introduce you to several ways of establishing this valuable psychic link.
  • Soul Mates & Twin Flames - Based on my best selling CD.  Not only do we cover the information found on the CD, we also go a bit deeper, into the attract/repel aspect of this divine yet invisible soul contract between two or more people.
  • The Body Speaks -  This web lesson covers how one can become wounded through various psychic attacks.  Through such internalization we can create "dis-ease" and chaos in our bodies.
  • Healing With Angelic Light - I have taught this class for many years, and it is one of my all time favorites. Receive tried and true techniques to alter negative energy within the body, thereby allowing you to progress on your healing. Healing is the basis of this seminar. While we are most often better healers for others than ourselves, this seminar will assist you in learning the techniques of sharing your healing energy with others as well as yourself. 
  • Discovering Your Path and Purpose - What is the difference between life purpose and soul purpose?  How can you decipher the difference?  What are the techniques for discovering YOUR personal passions? 
  • Discovering Your Animal Totem - So many times when we meditate or ask for "signs" animals can have a huge impact as messengers.  What do they mean, however?  Which Animal Medicines do you have and work with?  Do totems change in your life?  We hope to answer your questions about all things involving Animal Totems.  Also addressed is the technique in which you can discover how to access the wisdom your totem brings you.
  • Animal Communication  - There are so many ways to communicate in this world other then verbally.  Animals have several forms they use to communicate with each other and with their human friends.  This lesson will focus on learning those forms of communication and interpreting them.  We will begin our Mediumship training at this point, and we will work with animals alive and deceased. 
  • Conversations With The Deceased  - This is an intense lesson as we begin our techniques of spirit communication.   History of Spiritualism is reviewed, as well as the various techniques used to connect to spirit. Differentiation between Angels & Guides, Spirit and Ego is the most difficult to discern.  This is a huge lesson in understanding the different "voices".  
  • Dynamics of a Haunting - What sort of things go "bump in the night"?  How can you capture these "things" on film?  On a recording?  Fully manifested?  You will learn many tips from my years as a professional ghost investigator.  
  • Past Lives & Karma  - A  fascinating topic that is often misrepresented as frivolous and fun. Although it can be entertaining, the primary purpose is to discover what has carried over into your current life, and why. How our phobias, failures and successes may have their roots in our very distant past. 
  • Building Your Crystal Library - Learning there is energy in all things, this seminar proves most helpful in identifying exactly which stone holds individual properties. A rose quartz can assist you in learning self-love, while an apache tear will help to protect your heart and heal sorrow. You will also learn how to progress in selecting your own power pack of stones, and how to select stones for others to use in their healing work.

Sample Paragraph from the Vibrations lesson

"When vibrations on a global level increase, folks are rushed with them, emotions come up that were long ago buried, issues rush to the surface to be processed and released.  When the person is not given the proper support system (family, work, religion, etc.), it can cause them to become over stimulated.  Think of filling a cup with water.  Once a saturation point has been reached, the cup needs to either expand, or it will begin to overflow.  With a solid product such as a cup it cannot expand, as it is solid matter.  Our spirits, however, are Ether and therefore can expand.  Understanding your vibratory level can assist you in expanding your essence." - Tina Michelle

Spring Sandles Sista's

Open Toed Shoe Pledge

 

Raise your right big toe and repeat the following:

I pledge when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit.

My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.  I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.  I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.


 I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place  hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.
I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price  of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes.  This  is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk  properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take  someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to  slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go to my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 or 20 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.
