Songs & Stories
Karen Drucker has been a singing mermaid, a singing casket, and was literally “elevator music” when she was hired to sing and play piano in a moving elevator. She has recorded 13 CDs of her original inspirational music, and recently released her first book, “Let Go of the Shore: Stories and Songs That Set the Spirit Free.” Karen makes her MetaArts Debut with her column: "Songs & Stories."
"Deadlines. Just say the word: Dead. Line. It doesn’t exactly conjure up a real feeling of “Yea! Can’t wait - let me at it!!!” Instead, it feels like school, tests, finals, staying up all night cramming. It’s a DEAD-line I have to finish. So then why, when I got the offer about writing a monthly column for Metta Arts, did I say yes? I mean the main thing I find myself whining about these days is how I am on overwhelm, how I am on the road so much that I don’t have enough time for fun, or how I have said yes to too many things, and I am now paying the consequences. I have heard myself say this whiny story way too much and I am tired of it. My friend (and one of my most favorite authors) Alan Cohen says when you have repeated your story more than three times, you (and everyone else around you!) should be done with it. So when I got the email about writing this column, I had to really think about it."

Astrology:
Carin Martin, Astrologer.....................
Divine Lens
By Carin Martin, professional Astrologer, teacher, & lecturer. I can still recall my reactions when as a child I first saw that mystical circle that is the astrological chart. To me, it was a flat, one dimensional circle on a piece of paper. Inside of the circle were obscure, mysterious glyphs sitting motionless in the twelve little wedges of pie that make up the twelve houses of the zodiac. As I struggled to learn the meaning of the glyphs, the houses, the signs, the planets, the aspects, it was akin to a long, strenuous but exciting initiation into a secret society. No initiate to Skull and Bones or the Knights Templar could have been more excited than I was to learn all these ancient "secret codes". But as I've often told my students, it was not until the flat image of the chart became three dimensional for me that I knew I was finally "getting it." Come read, and learn from this brilliant Astrologer!

Donna Cunningham, Astrologer.........
Why Saturn has as much to do with Luck as Jupiter
Legendary Astrologer, and author, Donna Cunningham, MSW, presents a new column series addressing a variety of topics from her latest e-books. I've been a fairly lucky person all my life, and once, after a run of especially good luck, I set about analyzing it. I felt that perhaps by understanding my luck, I could not only increase it for myself, but perhaps also teach my heretofore un°©conscious "methods" to others who haven't been so for°©tunate. Naturally, I thought a great deal about Jupiter, the planet traditionally associated with good luck, but I was quite surprised to discover Saturn has as much or more to do with luck as Jupiter.

Getting Into Analysis
By Basil Fearrington, professional astrologer /musician/ teacher, and author of "The New Way To Learn Astrology.
Everything that you do in natal astrology is dependent upon being able to extract a message from the horoscope in question. Just as the words that you are reading now communicate something to you, so must a horoscope. This very foundational, fundamental point is given short shrift in today’s astrology. It is my feeling that this is so because there is not enough quality education at the beginner level. There is a rush to go straight from learning the alphabet to doing calculus. What happens is that clear, substantive horoscope analysis goes down the drain and, therefore, so does everything else.

Jeff Jawer and Star IQ Presents:.......
Astrology and Stones, Part 1
by Robert Gover
When I was in Mexico in 1995, I was walking through a market bazaar when I happened upon a stall where people were selling stones. As I looked through the lovely array of turquoise, tiger’s eye and jade, my eyes fell upon a beautiful necklace of red amber. The necklace fit perfectly as a choker around my throat and I decided to buy it. Over the years, I have seen it not only as a gorgeous piece of jewelry, but also as a wonderful healing amulet. At the time, I was having a great deal of difficulty with my communication and my general energy levels. Over the years, as I have worn this necklace, both these areas have healed to a great degree. Of course there were many other things that I did to help restore myself, but the amber acted as a symbol and potent tool for healing in my life.

It’s Time to Fund A Healthy Caring System:
Swami Speaks Out on the Health Care Bill
by Swami Beyondananda (Steve Bhaerman)
Well, we now have a health care bill. That’s great. Now all we have to do is figure out how to pay it. There is nothing wrong with the idea of universal health care. The cellular community beneath our skin -- upwards of 50 trillion cellular citizens -- has no problem providing that for each and every participating cell, along with full employment and no cell left behind.
The Swami is at it again. Looking for a few good chuckles? You'll find these pearls to be absolutely priceless.

The End of Days: The War Of GogUMagog
by Robbie G.
Both politically and geophysically, world wide, we have been experiencing a series of extreme events that are just too dramatic to ignore. You've heard people refer to them as being "of Biblical proportions." Indeed, they are.
Connect the dots and you'll see the pattern of what is happening. Some, think it is "coincidence". Others, think it nonsense. All of the political events, and the geophysical events listed in this article are factual, and well documented. They can be Googled. The connection is too obvious to ignore, and there are far too many of them to deny. And further, you'll see how they substantiate prophecies written by the ancient Hebrew Prophets, the Holy Niviim, many thousands of years ago. The events are occurring as written, and like clockwork. It is time to open our eyes to see what G-D is telling us.

Angel Blessings with Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.
The Healing Miracles of Archangel Raphael
by Dr. Doreen Virtue, Ph.D
Archangel Raphael’s chief role is to support, heal, and guide in matters involving health. He uses a variety of methods, including direct intervention, where he miraculously and instantly heals ailments; and guidance, where he directs the person toward the best avenues to health.
After reading and hearing thousands of case studies, I believe that God and Raphael choose the best avenues and methods for healing each particular condition. I also believe that there’s a Divine order behind every situation, even if our human minds can’t completely comprehend the whys and hows.
Mostly, human free will is the catalyst and the culprit within each health situation. God and the angels can’t interfere with our freewill choices. They must wait until we freely ask for help before they can intervene.

Love Letters...............................
Reality Use to Be a Friend of Mine
by Erika Morrell, Soul Mate Medium™
So much of how we enter into and pursue relationships is based on illusion, fantasy created by stories, entertainment, lack of education, and dreams of how we would like things to be. As wonderful as our illusions are, when all is said and done we often find ourselves shocked, traumatized, and betrayed by reality. We so desperately want to feel Loved and to be Loved, and we want it to show up the same way it does in the fantasy. Unfortunately, a relationship can only survive in reality. If you will be in reality, trust in the energy of Love, and let go of control, games, manipulation, and the like, then you will see that your relationship is much more amazing than the fantasy ever was.

When Like Minded Friends Share
by Eddie Conner, Soul Intuitive
This month I’m sharing one of my best friends with you. His name is Mike Mucciolo. I met Mike and his wife Ramona in 2000 when our group went to Peru. We formed a life long friendship from that trip. Through the years we’ve shared spiritual teachers and literature that’s enhanced our lives. A favorite life-changing teacher is Jerry and Ester Hicks, also known in the metaphysical community as Abraham-Hicks.
Mike and Ramona now facilitate a monthly Abraham Group and blog in their hometown. Mike shared his column The Near-Perfect Game with me and I immediately welled up then goggled this specific incident in baseball. I was so emotionally moved by this real life Abraham moment in sports that I felt the Meta Arts Magazine audience would appreciate it too..

The Gift We Have in Our Animals
by Dr. Kathleen Carson, D.V.M.
I believe that animals are our fellow beings, traveling with us on our sojourn on this living planet, Earth. Some of these animals become members of our human families. They live with us, sharing our lives, with us both in times of triumph and joy as well as defeat and pain. In fact, in this time when families are split apart, and we often live hundreds or thousands of miles away from human family members, our companion animals are often the only close family members we have. “natural” equates with “harmless”. This is not always the case.

Transforming Stress©
by Lonny J. Brown, HHC
When I tell people I teach a college course called Transforming Stress, they invariably get a far away look in their eyes, sigh, and say something like, "Oh boy, I could use that." Wired & Tired. We are living in times of accelerating change and unprecedented challenge, and experiencing more stress than ever. We only have to turn on the nightly news to see why. You'd have to be enlightened or comatose not to feel the pressure of world events. Chronic stress is the new normal.

Herbal Adventures with Susun Weed On Horseback in Providence- Part 1:The Mint Family
by Susun Weed
It's the first day of my week-long horseback trip in Provence, the South of France. Beneath my feet (and my horse's hooves) aromatic and beautiful plants that I know as cultivated, sometimes pot-bound, specimens are growing wild: grey bitter wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), heavy-headed fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), ground-hugging thyme (Thymus vulgaris), spicy lavender (Lavendula dentata), and heart-warming rosemary (Rosmarinus off.). Each step we take releases sharp, heady fragrances.
Here in the foothills of the Luberon mountains, the searing Mediterranean sun beats down on rocky, dry soil - ideal conditions to encourage plants to produce an abundance of volatile oils. Volatile (that is, easily released) oils, such as those in lavender, are strong-smelling and have strong medicinal properties as well. Numerous plants in the mint family (the Lamiaceae, formerly the Labiatae) are especially valued for their volatile oils, including basil, bergamot, catnip, hyssop, lavender, lemon balm, marjoram, oregano, peppermint, rosemary, sage, spearmint, and thyme.

Hormone Balancing
by Caroline Sutherland,
One of the most important components of any successful weight loss program is the delicate issue of hormone balancing – usually missing or rarely discussed in any popular diet book. If those hormones are not balanced, then you will not lose weight or you might lose weight initially and then weight loss will stop – you’ll plateau. Because of working in allergy clinics with thousands of patients over the years, I have developed an intuitive sense about people and their weight issues or health problems. When I look into a physical body, I see the body in terms of the systems that are out of balance. One of the most common imbalanced systems is the endocrine system. Overweight people almost always have hormone imbalances.

Subject: Crossroad to either lose oneself or to find which truly lies within!
by Eva Kettles,
I was very close to making probably one of the biggest mistakes in my life. This is my personal story that I like to share with you today, because I think it might benefit some of you to hear how easy it is to get misled by our instincts when we come from fear.
Many of you might struggle financially to make ends meet in some way or another. This is a very terrifying situation and it is easy to let the mind lead the way. I love projects and I love getting excited about new ideas that come into my head and so I had one idea that cost an amazing amount of money to realize. I was able to bring my husband on board and a lot of other people, got the loan almost lined up until I suddenly began to question myself from all sides before I finalized spending so much money with the intention to turn a sinking ship around! I was aware that before that sinking ship turns around it first would sinks even a bit deeper but we had the hope that once the loan is paid back that it actually would lift itself out of the water and find back to a safe haven with some money on board to pay the rest of the owed obligations off.

Herbs for Health with Kami McBride......
Herbal Allies
Something that I hear about quite often is how overwhelming the whole world of herbal medicine has become. With so many herbs available, which one do I choose? If I read five herb books, they all give different directions for making tea, varying dosages, and conflicting contraindications.
What I have noticed in teaching about herbs is that 20 years ago, most people did not have a broad vocabulary for herbs in general and what their uses are. What is happening now is that most people have heard of herbs, but in classes, the initial questions are centered around caution and even fear. My perception of the effect of the massive advertising around herbal products is that people have more awareness of herbs but this increased awareness hasn’t created more confidence in using them. Let’s dispel the fear and explore how we can develop a greater understanding of working with the healing plants. One that is rooted in a connectedness and confidence that comes with direct perception and experience with the plants themselves.

Getting What You Want

Do you ever wonder why you aren't getting what you want? Do you want to lose weight, get a better job, or have a happier, more fulfilling relationship with your husband, wife or child?
Do you feel like you are trying so hard to make something happen and it's just not working? Often times when we feel like we are spinning our wheels it's because we don't have true clarity about what it is we truly want.

Kabbalah Chronicles
by Kabbalist Chaim Ratz,
Chaim Ratz is editor in chief of Laitman Kabbalah Publishers, associate editor of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Kabbalah (2007, Penguin Group), translator of Awakening to Kabbalah (2006, Jewish Lights Publishing), and associate editor of World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution, special issue: Disclosing the Science of Kabbalah (2006, Taylor & Francis Group). The author is also a content editor for the Internet site www.kab.info, and a member of Bnei Baruch—Kabbalah, Education, and Research Institute.
The Rambam (Maimonides) wrote that when the whole of humanity was deep in idol worship, one man could not go with the flow. His name was Abraham. He pondered and searched until he found the truth: that the world has only one leader. When he discovered this, he realized he had discovered life’s eternal truth and ran to tell the world. Since then, the world has had a method that reveals this truth. Today this method has a different name—“Kabbalah”—but it is essentially the same. If we open our hearts to it, it will teach us why things happen, and how to make them happen better.

Her chakras, the healer explained, were out of balance and her body was filled with parasites. This report led to a lengthy discussion among the seminar participants, including lots of advice for Donna about how to regain her health. Donna was also dealing with a weight issue, which elicited plentiful recommendations from the group.

Power Deck Card of the Month:"Balance”
by Lynn Andrews
Internationally Acclaimed Shaman, Spiritual Teacher, and Founder of Joshua Tree, Lynn Andrews, continues in teaching her Power Deck with this month's card: “Balance” – “The structure of your daily spiritual life must be built on a strong foundation in the physical world, like a pillar of selected shaman’s stones balanced carefully one on another. Take care of your body through diet and exercise. Express your strength in acts of power, and bring greater awareness to the exchange of money. Protect and nourish your family, and express your integrity by bringing balance into society and nature. Then you will be prepared in the physical for higher spiritual learning. Your being is like a spirit lodge, the foundation of which is rooted in physical manifestation – strong against the storms along the trail to higher consciousness. To take power, make your spirit available. Take your power and bring your physical and spiritual natures into balance.”

Karma: The Functioning of Cause and Effect, Part 4
by Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron
By Buddhist Nun, Teacher, Author, and co-founder of the Sravasti Abbey. Does karma influence whom we will meet and the relationships we'll have with them? Yes, but this doesn't mean those relationships are predetermined. We may have certain karmic predispositions to feel close to or to have friction with certain people. Nevertheless, these relationships may not continue along those same lines. If we are kind to those who speak ill of us and try to communicate effectively with them, the re-lationships will change. We'll also create positive karma, which will bring happiness in the future.
We are not karmically bound to others. Nor are there "soul mates," special people who are the one and only one for us. Since we've had infinite past lives, we've had contact with every being sometime before. Also, our relationship with any particular person constantly changes.

Jacquelyn Small, Eupsychia ....................
Sacrifice:
The True Meaning of the Word
The word 'sacrifice' comes from the root word 'sacer,' which means "to make holy." Making something we've experienced holy, then, can be known as a sacrifice. But how do we experience making something sacred or holy?
When we first commit to the spiritual path, we have no idea what's in store for us. We expect that our lives will get better because we've decided to be spiritual, to give ourselves to the God of our understanding in service to the world. However, it doesn't turn out to be that way. And our innocence is quickly shattered as we begin to see that anything in our way of being that is "shadowy" or negative or just plain over, rises right up in our face to be recognized and dealt with. Dr. Carl Jung said it plainly: When you enter a spiritual path, the first thing that comes up is your shadow. You shadow is all those unconscious parts acting out through you that you've never faced or integrated.

The World Is Your Mirror.
by Rev. David Ault
We receive at the hands of the world according to the measure of our giving. For bad, bad; for good, good. For defective conduct we receive indifferent influence and imperfect success; for superior conduct we receive lasting power and consummate achievement. We act, and the world responds. When the foolish man fails, he blames others and sees no error in himself; but the wise man watches and corrects himself, and so is assured of success.

Spiritual Mastery for the 21st Century.....
Creating Abundance In An Uncertain Economy
Dr. Gwen MacGregor
As we approach an uncertain time in America’s fiscal future, it’s a great time for a reminder about how we are rewarded by the divine energy force we utilize to bring forth good things into our lives. While we must acknowledge our positive and negative creations, we must also be humble before that beginning force - the Alpha and Omega, which supplies us with the wisdom and understanding of how and why we begin manifestation. This is a perfect season for generating multi-dimensional “Thank You’s,” for all the aid we receive on every level of our being. Remember that our Mother-Father God is the perfect parent/husband/wife. We are guaranteed all manner of comfort and sustenance when we abide in the embrace of the eternal and First wisdom. The physical, emotional and intellectual poverty which exists on this planet today indicates our lack of true understanding concerning the inner possibilities we contain and how to properly utilize energy in all its’ forms.

Falling in Love
by Margaret H. Lewis
Margaret H. Lewis is a highly regarded professional speaker, workshop facilitator, business and personal development consultant, gifted spiritual practitioner and author. For over 20 years she has provided countless training seminars and workshops on a wide range of life management and personal development skills.
At a recent party while in conversation with a new friend, he told me that he loves his wife, but he is not in love with her. They’d been married almost ten years. Years ago, I would have engaged him in a deep discussion of what his sentiments meant. This time, I simply smiled and nodded with understanding. I knew it was not my role to try to fix him while seated with a group on a beautiful balcony overlooking the eighteenth fairway of a famous golf course. I knew his message was for him to contemplate and discover its deeper meaning. It wasn’t party chat.

I, of my own knowledge….................
Use the phone!
by Frank Demarco,
Author of Muddy Tracks: Exploring an Unexpected Reality,
Editor, Publisher & Psychic Explorer
For more than 20 years, starting slowly but acquiring confidence and fluency as I went along, I have been learning to communicate with The Guys Upstairs on subjects of all kinds, ranging from high-flying discussions of “the way things are” to severely practical (and helpful) advice on how to deal with this or that personal or professional problem.
I never know what I’m going to get, but I’ve never yet found it dull.
Beginning in late 2005, the nature of the interaction deepened and became even more personal, as I began regular conversations with Joseph Smallwood, an American of the 19th century, a man who had ridden out to the Oregon territory, alone, in the 1840s, and had later fought in the Union army in the Civil War.
