As I discussed in the first lesson, being able to let your body relax and not think about the kids, dog, dinner or what you need to do later is “key “. You need to train your brain to just focus on your relaxation. This process does several things:

1. Lowers the heart rate

2. Tapers off anxiety

3. Allows you to start to control your body and learn how to discipline your mind to create.

4. You will now start the process to see things. Images, colors, numbers and get messages from your Guides. You may even see your Guardian Angel, a deceased family member and your Spirit        Guide. There is no limit to what you can do.

5. The most important benefit of creative visualization is having control. You can now start to even heal your body if you so desire. I don’t need Novocaine when I go to the dentist. That’s because I have had years of experience with meditation.

6. When you have completed step one of the meditation process, have brought in the White and Green light and opened your chakras, just let yourself listen to the music and go.

If you find that you need a Guided Meditation to get you started, go up on Amazon.com and put “Cheri Mancuso” and “White Light” in the search window  on Amazon. You can purchase my White Light CD there for a nominal fee. My Guided Meditation will help you to begin your Creative Visualization journey.

If you don’t want to purchase a CD then just listen to any music that’s relaxing and try to let yourself go. Write down or record what you experienced during the journey and date your information. This way you can monitor your progress.

You can also contact me through this website if you have any questions or want additional guidance with my “Special” classes. our Next session will be on  Affirmations to the Universe and Manifesting What You Desire in Life and the ” Don’t’s” of Meditation and what to do if you can’t sit still or you can’t focus.

Creative Visualization begins with Meditation and ends in Manifestation.

You first need to get into a relaxing mood while either sitting in a reclining chair or lying on a bed or couch. It’s important that you are comfortable. I always like to set the mood  with relaxing music or natural sounds like the waves of the ocean. Meditating with music helps to drown out outside noises and helps to set a relaxing mood. I would suggest turning off all computers, phones, televisions, et cetera and make sure that this is a time where you can be alone for at least a 1/2 of an hour.

Get comfortable with a pillow and blanket if you tend to get cold easily. Your body temperature tends to drop in a meditative state.

First picture white light above your head making sure to open all your chakras first. Bring the white light over your body starting at the crown chakra and gradually bringing it into and through your body connecting the light to each chakra. Repeat with emerald green light. At this point you are starting to relax and training your mind to tune out your physical body. this is the very beginning of the creative visualization process.

Our next lesson will be the actual journey that will cause you to leave your body and connect with your spirit guides.

Here is an image of my Major Chakra Chart in case you are unsure of where the Major chakras are located on our bodies.

2016 Predictions

General:

• The G.O.P will not unite with Trump before the Primary. The G.O.P. will continue to lose popularity this year despite having a couple of popular candidates. Trump can very well win the nomination for the Republican candidate.
• Isis will not become a major task for President Obama to handle before he leaves office. He will put a few more troops on the ground but not enough to make a difference.
• Isis will continue to expand their territories in the Middle east. Libya will be next.
• Racial tensions will increase in the USA in 2016. Civil War could break out in the States this year. Tensions and violence will come to have more police shootings this year with Americans growing more tired of violence from protesters.
• Mass shootings will increase as will terrorists home grown violence in major cities, Los Angeles, New York & Washington, D.C. among the worst.
• President Obama will use his Executive Order for Gun Control which will increase anger among American voters and could hurt the Democrats at Election time.
  This will set the stage toward more uprisings among Americans to keep their guns.

The year 2016 calculates out to a 9 (2+0+1+6 = 9). Its appearance indicates that all of us in the world are coming to the end of a cycle. This current cycle began in 2008 which is a 1 (2+0+0+8 = 10[1+0 = 1]). 2008 marked the beginning of a very bad economy that has been very hard to turn around. Many people found themselves unemployed for a long period of time. Many of those people were forced to re-invent themselves in order to survive financially. That is what the 9 and the 1 bring to us: endings that start new beginnings.

The 9 in the year 2016 brings with it the hope that we will finally see the end of the economic struggles that have affected everyone around the world since 2008. And it brings hope that we will see an end to terrorism around the world. It may also bring some notable deaths in 2016 as it is possible for the 9 to create this type of ending, too.

The effect of the 9 on each of us here on Earth began at the stroke of midnight on December 31st. It’s power and its affect is now on the rise. It will reach its apex on July, 2, 2016. After that date the effect of the 9 will slowly wane. Its strongest affect will occur between March 31, 2016 and September 30th, 2016. Be on the lookout for inevitable, powerful change in that period of time. And remember, that change can be either positive or negative. (See my blog on defining the number 9 for an in-depth interpretation of the 9.)

So what effect will the 9 have on us? The 9 is the most powerful of the simple numbers 1 – 9. The most important effect of the 9 is that it creates new beginnings in the number 1 by creating the end of what came before it. So expect to see some of that in your life this year. And pay particular attention to those things that come to an end all year long. And be warned, if you resist inevitable change this year you will pay a big price for it.

The lesson of the 9 is learning to accept the end when it comes. If you fight the inevitable end in 2016 it will have a negative effect on you  and that effect can grow completely out of proportion. The lesson here is giving in and having faith that the change that may be forced on you is necessary. It will bring something new to you if you will just get out of its way.

We should focus on ending things this year that have gone on for too long. For example: a contentious divorce, a lengthy lawsuit, a bad relationship, et cetera. You get the idea. If something is lingering in your life bring it to a definite close this year. Do this knowing that you will be ready for the 1 that follows the 9 in 2017. If you allow unfinished business to continue on into 2017 you will not benefit fully from the positive effect of the 1.

If death visits your inner circle in 2016 don’t allow it to lock you into a lengthy grieving period. Try to look back into your past experiences with the person who has passed and celebrate their lives in that way. The next year in this case will be about adjusting to life without the presence of the person who has passed.

Above all, the 9 is not to be feared. It does, however, need to be respected.

After some thought I realized that it would be easier to cure the guas that I discussed in my last post rather than go through all 9 guas in the floor plan at once So, here are the cures for the entrance and the first gua.

The Entrance:

Deficiency: The front and back door do not line up in the floor plan. This is a hard deficiency to cure. There is no way to re-direct the energy from front to back with the usual cure. That is to hang multi-faceted crystals in key doorways to broadcast the energy to the back.

Cure: I would hang a round, multi-faceted crystal from a red string just inside the front door and at the hallway door that leads to the bedroom, walk-in closet and back office. I would also hang a similar crystal at the junction of the hallway at the closet, bathroom and back office doors. This will help to disperse the energy somewhat throughout the back of the house.

Alternative Cure: If you know a Reiki practitioner, have them direct the energy from the front door by drawing and invoking the Cho Ku Rei symbol just outside the open front door. Upon stepping into the house, the Cho Ku Rei symbol is drawn and invoked verbally at the entrance to every room in the house. This will direct the natural energy throughout the entire house. This should be done periodically to give the house a tune-up. My partner, John Scarano, and I are Reiki Masters. We perform this service for ourselves and for our clients.

The Helpful People and Travel gua:

Deficiency: This gua is deficient in metal and earth. This room is an important room for the people who own the house. They work from home and meet with clients and service providers in their living room. It’s important to keep this room balanced so that the numerical 5 vibration of this gua is in good working order. 5 is the number of communication and desired change which is important when they meet with people in this room.

Cure: The room needs a large  live or artificial potted plant to add earth. A Diffenbachia Species or large Dracaena Species plant would do well. The potting soil in the pots represent earth. Otherwise, I would place several  6 to 8 inch potted plants throughout the room. Or, you could add a large, white Quartz crystal in a prominent place inside the gua.

In addition, the placement of a sizable metal statue of an elephant, a whale or a metal small scale replica of a large building on the coffee table would add enough metal as a cure. Soothing New Age music should be played in the room whenever it is in use.

Next: I will discuss the cures for the the Career and Lifepath and  the Skills and Knowledge guas.

In my last post on this subject I discussed 6 things to look for when choosing a new psychic. I will continue the list here in this post.

7. Most importantly, what is your first impression of the psychic when you first meet him or her or talk via telephone? This is where your psychic ability comes into play. If the psychic has a web site, be sure to view a picture of him or her. If you do not get a good feeling about the psychic, move on. You’re instincts are, more than likely, accurate.

8. Is the psychic a good communicator? There is nothing more frustrating than receiving a reading from a psychic who does not have a good command of your native language or doesn’t communicate enough or clearly enough. It is okay to ask for more details or for an explanation of something your reader has seen for you.

9. How does the psychic charge their fees? If they charge your reading to your phone bill then they are a hotline telephone psychic. It might be a good idea to pay for your reading in cash rather than with a credit or debit card, if possible, until you develop trust in your business relationship with the psychic.

10. Does the psychic offer different rates for time or tasks performed for you? If you only need a 15-minute reading for one question, why get stuck paying for unused time that you may not want to use later? And be sure to ask what additional charges there will be if you decide to go over the time slot that you have purchased.

11. Even if you have paid in advance for your reading it is okay to stop a reading that has been, for the most part, inaccurate. Pay for what time you received and cut your losses. Hoping that the reader’s accuracy will improve during the session rarely works out. Ask about the psychic’s refund policy before the reading begins if you paid in advance. Remember, this is a business transaction between you and the psychic. Treat your session the same as you would with any other service professional.

As I stated in my last post, there are many different types of Mediums. And there are many different interpretations of those different types of Mediums. Here are a few of mine:

• Channeler: A Channeler is a person who acts as a “speaker” for spirit. They willingly allow spirit to “possess” them and speak to whomever is present for the channeling session. This phenomenon is known as a “walk-in”. The Channeler performs this type of Mediumship at a cost to themselves. Channeling Spirit is physically and mentally exhausting. Many people believe that Channelers and Mediums are one and the same. The argument for and against this concerns whether the Channeler is in an altered state of consciousness when the “walk-in” takes place.
• Transmedium: A person who produces mediumistic phenomena of all kinds after entering a state of trance. This involves the producing of ectoplasm, body parts, musical instruments, ethereal images and noises from thin air. The Transmedium is “transporting” something temporarily from the ethereal realm into the physical realm. There have been numerous occasions where sitters in a “seance” have reported the appearance of arms, legs, faces and clouds of ectoplasm. Some of the sitters reported that they touched the appendages while they floated in mid-air and that they felt real.
• Medium: A person, most frequently a woman, who communicates with spirits, usually on behalf of another person. There are several overlapping types of mediumship:

1. Spirit Medium: This type of Medium communicates back and forth with spirits without going into a trance. Generally, they only receive information and do not ask for information from Spirit. This person usually has no control over when and where the communication takes place. For instance, they may warn you of some danger in the middle of a conversation with you and may identify the Spirit that communicated the information to them. For example, they may say, “Your Grandmother, Irene, who has passed over wants you to go home. Something is wrong there.”.
2. Trance Medium: This type of Medium goes into a trance to communicate with spirits. They are not aware of what occurs while they are in trance and therefor, have no memory of the communication with Spirit. They do not make psychic predictions or answer questions for sitters who are present at the seance.
3. Mental Medium: This type of Medium answers questions through Spirit as they are asked by “sitters” at a seance. He or she is completely lucid and does not go into the trance state to communicate with Spirit. They do not make psychic predictions.
4. Psychic Medium: This type of Medium communicates with spirit in a lucid state and receives psychic predictions from the Spirit Guides of the sitter who is present for the reading. They may also come into contact with Spirit Guides or the Spirit of loved ones who are present for the person receiving the reading.

I fall into the Psychic Medium category, although, I am capable of doing Trance Mediumship. I do not perform Trance Mediumship because it is so physically exhausting and I worry about its affect on my health. I also worry about Spirit becoming attached to me as a result. I have had that happen in the past and it is a very uncomfortable experience. I do know how to unattach myself from the Spirit but I do not enjoy having it happen to me.

I also have other psychic talents that I will talk about some other time in another post.

Duality is running the computers that we are all using right now. We call it the binary system. Basically our computers are running on yes or no and 0 and 1. The most important aspect of duality in this discussion is that balance is being created constantly around us. If any one thing were created without its counterpart it would create chaos in our Universe. When we choose to manifest we have to remember that we need to create balance. It is incorrect to use manifestation to someone else’s disadvantage.

For example, if I manifest a pile of money in the middle of my living room I may have unwittingly created unbalance. Where did this money come from? Did it come from my neighbors or from the vault of the local bank? If so, I have affected those people negatively because I gain and they lose. That is incorrect manifestation.

Instead of magically creating it, I need to attract this money in a way that balance is maintained.  I will have to employ a law to correctly manifest this money that I need. That law is known as the Law of Attraction. This law is similar to Magic by Contagion. Here we attract things to us by vibrating around them.

Let’s say that I need more money to live comfortably. I cannot get a sufficient raise at work to accomplish this. So what do I do? I begin to manifest a new job that will pay me more money. Once I decide on the new job I simply immerse myself in it.

Let’s say I want a new career as a Stock Broker. I will walk, talk, eat and sleep the stock market. My friends will be sick to death about hearing any more about it because that’s my total focus. I will take courses that are related to the stock market and my classmates will become my good friends. They are also immersed in their desire to work in the stock market. Their stock-market consciousness increases the level of my stock-market consciousness and vice versa. I am now a stock broker by virtue of my immersion in it.

Eventually, I will attract the right situation that will allow me to work as a stock broker. And I did it without creating imbalance. I did it as a result of my action and of my firm belief that I would become what I desired.

The the most important element in manifestation is the belief that it will work.

In addition to the cave paintings we have also discovered crude soft-lava sculptures of women with extended bellies and swollen breasts. These were most likely carved and left near the women in the caves in the belief that they, too, would become pregnant resulting from the constant influence from the pregnant-like sculptures. This is one form of manifestation. The paintings and the lava sculptures are attempting to employ the Principle of Magic by Contagion. That is to say that mankind believed that everything on Earth had a consciousness whether it was animate or inanimate. And when you remained in close proximity to any dissimilar object its consciousness (or vibration) would affect yours.

In a sense, we basically believe that there is a constant blending of consciousness here in the physical realm. So, mankind placed the paintings where they knew the Earth Spirit would pass by it and be influenced by its vibration. They believed that they were altering the consciousness of the Spirit by producing the painting which also had a consciousness. If you think about it, this is a very complex set of thoughts for a race of people who seemingly had very little technology and knowledge.

I believe that when we first gained sentience (became aware of our existence) an operating system was started up and is still running in each one of us. Carl Jung, the famous Swedish Psychiatrist, called this operating system “The Collective Unconsciousness”. He believed that this was the knowledge that is inherited by each one of us. That inherited knowledge is most likely the source of our innate practice of manifestation. Each one of believes in it and practices it every day of our lives.

Carl Jung went on in later years to discuss the creation of reality. He stated that reality was created in our minds first. He stated that by simply thinking something, its creation was begun. He also theorized that anything we could think of could come into being as a result. This can be explained by a second important principle. That principle is the Principle of Duality.

This principle runs our Universe entirely. It states that when anything is created its mirror image must be created at the same time. So the birth of our thought, which is non-physical, causes something physical to be created.This duality is obvious everywhere in the Universe. It creates action and reaction, up and down, in and out, positive and negative, on and off, male and female and so on.

Beginning with this post, I want to talk to you about the Art of Manifestation.

When I speak of Manifestation, I am speaking about the act of bringing our thoughts into reality. That is to say, manifestation is the practice of bringing about desired results that began initially as a thought in our minds. For example, when I discover that I need something that is beyond my normal ability to produce, I employ the Art of Manisfestation to bring it into reality.

As a race of people, we have been practicing the Art of Manifestation for at least 50,000 years. How do we know this? We know it as a result of our discovery of ancient paintings in caves that are located in Europe and South America. When those cave paintings were first discovered Archaeologists and Anthropologists thought that the paintings were made to commemorate special events. Primarily, these paintings depict the successful hunt or the animals that were the object of the hunt. Early man made some of these paintings between 50,000 and 35,000 years ago.

As more and more of these paintings were discovered scientists came to another startling conclusion. They realized that the paintings were most likely placed on the cave walls in order to bring the successful hunt into reality. The cave during this period in our history was a sacred place. We know it was sacred because the sacred rites of initiation for young boys and girls who had reached puberty were performed in the interior caves. Their hands were stenciled onto the walls of the cave by the tribal Shaman so that the Spirit of the Earth would recognize them and nurture them.

It is thought that early mankind believed that the source of all life energy emanated from the center of the earth through the caves on their way to the surface of our planet. They believed that this energy was sent forth by an intelligent Spirit of the Earth. Remember that early mankind during this period wielded very little power over their environment. They had to search long and hard for their prey. And while the tribe waited for an animal as large as the Wooly Mammoth to stray into their territory they must have gotten very hungry.

In their desperation, they began to figure out ways to influence the Spirit of the Earth in order to get the things they needed for their survival. The cave paintings were placed on the walls of the cave in the belief that the energy from the Spirit of the Earth would pass by and be influenced to create what was needed for the tribe. The cave paintings are artifacts that lead us to believe that this was one of the first attempts by mankind to manifest its destiny. We have been practicing it in one form or another since then.
