Contents Dear Friend,

Love Never Dies: Opening Hearts to the Language of Spirit

Years ago a healing practitioner told me to practice saying, “I love myself,” while looking in the mirror. I admit it was an uncomfortable feeling at first. Very uncomfortable, actually, and I had a hard time saying it with conviction. But I practiced and repeated the mantra often— sometimes rubbing my chest while I said it aloud and other times consciously breathing in love, while exhaling gratitude. It’s easy to look at another and feel love to the core: a warm, joyful feeling that’s hard to express, yet undeniable that it exists. Why was it so hard to look at myself and express that same deep feeling? Luckily, with practice, I began to believe. And then I noticed changes in my life. By loving myself, the love I felt for others took on more depth. Because I could recognize love in myself, I saw it expressed through others more often. I also began seeing people who also loved themselves were mysteriously more drawn to me. It was a subtle shift, but powerful, nonetheless. So with this month’s magazine about love, I hope you will start with yourself. As Abraham said, “If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself. Some say, ‘Well, Abraham, you teach selfishness.’ And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection, you don't have anything to give anyone, anyway. And when you are selfish enough to make that connection—you have an enormous gift that you give everywhere you are.”

Love Never Tasted So Good

Image licensed by Ingram Images

ervasi, a brand of imported, artisanal Italian products is designed for the discerning otherwise known as ‘picky’ cook. At least that’s what chef Daniela Mancinelli Abel said recently while a group of us watched her batch up three recipes at the Kansas City Culinary Center. With all the bells and whistles at her fingertips, Daniela deftly boiled, sautéed, rolled, crimped and tasted her demo fare for the day. On the menu: mushroom bruschetta, vodka sauced pasta, and an apple crostata. “Make sure you taste as you cook,” she said as we watched. An important lesson for today was not just three recipes, but those all-important Cervasi ingredients. “That’s where I get picky. It’s all about quality ingredients,” said Daniela. Using Cervasi’s entire line featuring olive oil, artichokes, cheeses, and of course, pasta in every shape imaginable, we listened to why these products would make the difference in our recipes. Daniela explained. “The water, the flour….everything is so different in Italy, the food tastes different. But, since we’re obviously not there, using ingredients like Cervasi, that duplicate the flavor as closely as possible, we are well on our way.” First up, the most time-consuming recipe—an Apple Crostata, “Which sounds Spanish but actually it’s very southern Italian. And for those of us who don’t know the south from the north, it really doesn’t matter,” she added.

BY GLORIA GALE

Crostini 1 loaf Crusty bread ½ C. Cervasi Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 pint mushrooms, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 T Cervasi Balsamic Vinegar Slice bread into ½-inch rounds. Arrange on baking sheet and brush evenly with ½ C. olive oil. Bake 500 degrees for 2-3 minutes. Reduce temp to 450 degrees. In medium bowl combine mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. Stir. In medium baking dish arrange mushroom mixture so it’s spread out. Place in oven for 5 minutes. Spoon mushroom mix over toast. Serve warm or room temperature.

Daniela first made a savory pastry and then filled it with apples, dates, flour, sugar, and honey. While this baked, and smelled so delicious, we anticipated a delightful dessert at the end of our sampling. Tiny rounds of crostini laden with sautéed mushroom and heavenly extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar came next. Even I could handle making this easy appetizer. And here’s where the healthy comes in. As you probably already know, the Mediterranean diet is the food plan considered the healthiest by just about every nutritionist worth their salt but no sugar. Cervasi’s extra virgin olive oil is authentic, meeting the International Olive Council specifications and made from the first cold pressing of top quality handselected Italian olives. The result is a pure, flavorful taste and aroma. This is a good thing. Good fat; good for a healthy heart. Bubbling up As we finished the crostini, Daniela prepped for the final dish – Vodka Cream Sauce with Parmigiana Reggiano and Cut Fusilli. Adding the pasta to a boiling pot of water, we watched Daniela make the vodka cream sauce. Garlic, olive oil, whole tomatoes, cheese, basil, Italian parsley, and heavy cream blended into a wonderfully rich pink sauce when poured over the fusilli, was a joy in my mouth. We finished the tasting with the crostata – every bit as good as we imagined and left with this positive phrase: Buon cibo, aria fresca, bella gente. In other words, what we should aspire to is good food, fresh air, and nice people. “Salute!”

Love Never Dies: Opening Hearts to the Language of Spirit

his month, as many of us celebrate heartfelt relationships, some hearts are feeling empty after the passing of a loved one. Shortly after my mother’s death, my heart ached without her physical presence, but I soon discovered that love never dies, it only changes form. My grief journey and subsequent afterdeath discoveries began with my mother’s surgery to heal her back pain. Two painful weeks later, we learned she had contracted a fatal bacterial infection, and her death was imminent. Shortly after her passing, many mysterious occurrences began happening that fully resonated in my heart, even though they often challenged the logical side of my brain. These occurrences, however, proved to me again and again how our loved ones continue to love us, share our experiences, and provide help along our life’s journey, even after they pass on. Dream visits are often the easiest means for our deceased loved ones to communicate with us. Loved ones can visit during our sleep when our minds are still and our hearts are open. Shortly after my mother’s passing, I began keeping a dream journal to record the details and wisdom she shared. These dreams were unlike all others, especially when she shared specific advice about current life issues. From exact dates on decisions surrounding the remodel of my father’s new home to classes she suggested my daughter take in school, her advice was heeded, valuable, and proof that love never dies. In my experience, there are five practical D R E A M tips for opening your heart to receiving dream visits:

BY LISA K. COOPER

more you can elevate your energy by doing things that make you happy, the more you can restore your spirit. Taking just a few minutes to breathe and relax at night helps your mind release the events of your day, thus increasing the potential for dream visits.

Expect a Miracle Miracles happen daily and occur in our dream states as well. If you can change your definition of a miracle, you’ll begin to see them everywhere, simply by having a change of heart. You can ask your loved one to help you see things differently, and then pay careful attention to what shows up!

Keeping a dream journal helps to not only retain the details of a dream visit but can document clues that your intuition may be trying to convey to you.

Your heart will open and with special memories, a supportive you will be filled with joy and comfort in touch, or their favorite song playing at knowing that your loved one is still near. atypical times. Love Never Dies!

Ignore Your Ego Ignoring critical self-talk is an important tool to receiving signs. By ignoring the seriousness of the ego, we cultivate a sense of humor about divine interaction and begin to see signs everywhere.

Go Within All answers are within, and by practicing quiet breathing and meditation on a regular basis, signs from your loved ones will be immediately recognized in your heart. Practice “being versus doing”, and remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

Using Palmistry Basics for Better Relationships

t was the last performance of the year for the junior high school band at a time when my emotions were raw. Instruments were being tuned while parents filled the bleachers. Saxophones played over violins and the drum banged, piercing my heart for tears to run. The audience silenced to sounds of young musicians, bringing the room together as a whole; but soon our collective peace was shattered by a redfaced man running in late, two bleachers at a time. I noticed his short straight fingers indicating a quick and impulsive mind that may ignore details—and that he had sat next to an obviously annoyed elegant man with long knotted fingers. Long slender fingers that preferred punctuality and planning. The knots indicated analytical thought so it was likely he had arrived early. My tears turned to laughter. We're all musical instruments if only people knew the code for natural harmony. How do I know? I am a hand reader. Palmistry is defined as 'divination by inspection of the palm of the hand; the art of telling a person's character and fortune by examination of the lines and configurations of the palm.’ This definition is why many think only a select few have this skill, although complicated

in nature as humans are, it can be learned. Wouldn't it be nice to know how another person reacts to the environment and operates in the world to avoid conflict simply by observing their hands? Approaching a stranger and asking to see their palms for compatibility frightens many but there is an unspoken language on the outside of a hand. A square, course hand tends to be honest, liking physical pleasures, usually doubting the unseen world while a slender palmed hand with long fingers and soft skin will be emotionally observant to their surroundings with a natural inclination toward books and imagination. These are basic traits and not everyone will fit comfortably in the box so the trained palmist must consider other variables such as the length of fingers and shapes of nails. Short nail beds belong to high strung bossy types. They see the big picture, run in and out of the grocery store as fast as they can. Long nail beds belong to calmer people who take things slowly and like details. A lazy quality can sneak up on them because they tend to be sensual in nature. Another nail bed is the slender and long type that loves beauty and order. If you rearrange what they've done, you may cause arguments.

Spiritual Horoscope

February 2017 Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Happy birthday Aquarius! It’s a passionate time for renewing relationships, friendships, and spiritual development. Be open to a new attitude regarding all areas of your life. You’re brilliant, but can get locked into ideas that were once innovative, but now limit you. Strive to remain open, curious and teachable. The eclipses this month ask you to open your heart and forgive yourself and others, letting imperfections be beautiful. Meditate about creative money ideas so new finances can flow! Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The solar eclipse in your sign helps dreams manifest! Meditate about how you want life to be and, most importantly, how you will feel when these things happen! Memorize these feelings and become “addicted” to them, if you will. You’ll notice an increase in finances and self-esteem, as well as healings in relationships. Even longforgotten goals can be achieved so reactivate your passion for those things! Don’t just hope and wish — feel the future reality as if it were occurring now.

The solar eclipse this month can open doors for career, even if they unfold slowly over the next two years. Follow your heart, and don’t give up or get impatient. You can also reconnect with a spiritual practice, like yoga, prayer or meditation. Find a way that resonates with you so you’ll stick with it. You’ll see quick results that inspire and motivate you. Connect with like-minded friends so camaraderie sustains you when you get distracted. Also, you’ll find ways that work feel exciting, and your spiritual “pep” makes your job meaningful so you’ll feel less pulled in opposing directions. Being at work can be spirituality in action.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) Even without Valentine’s Day, February is a time of relationship renewal. Long term partnerships can heal from old problems, even ones that seem impossible! If venturing into a new connection, meditate to leave old patterns behind. This month’s eclipses help you see subconscious patterns, so you can observe rather than react. In this way you can root out “issues” and feel authentic and joyous. Dreams and subtle intuitions give clues that lead to big breakthroughs!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You can have career breakthroughs by meditating and re-connecting with passion and goals. The eclipses this month remind you that when you’re es motivated, you’re not selfish — rather you are inspiring to others! As you allow that fire to rise up within you, you’ll feel energized to accomplish dreams as they become more clear. Forgive yourself for “wasted time” and all your life transforms. Stick with friends who honor and encourage what you’re doing!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Were you programmed to look at the glass half empty? Meditate on how much energy you drain by worrying. Commit to use imagination rightly! Visualize positive outcomes. Stop negative thoughts when you catch them. They only feel “true” and “real” because they are familiar. Research neuroplasticity. You can re-train your brain out of fearful patterns, but it takes patience and commitment. You’ll lose loneliness and that sense of separateness. You’ll feel embraced by the Universe as anxiety subsides and safety permeates your being!

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) As a Leo, you like to be in control, but that can inhibit your ability to trust, so it’s hard to surrender to the care of another. This month’s eclipses provide a clearing of old wounds and a doorway into feel safe emotionally, sexually, spiritually and even financially. Allow

EVOLVING…IN KANSAS CITY

memories to arise. Experience the pain fully as it washes through you. Release it with forgiveness. Visualize positive future realities so you welcome them when the show up “in real life”. You’ll feel more centered than when you’re being self-protective.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Relationships can always transform, especially with this month’s solar eclipse! Meditate to let go of old beliefs about yourself, present/past partners, and love in general. You can re-make this part of your life by creating new concepts and putting the time in to make them your truth (through visualizing in meditation). Even troubled bonds heal by being open to new possibilities. You can also have breakthroughs with finances by facing them squarely. Read about spirituality and money and watch abundance flow in!

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) You can start a new relationship, or a current one feels like a second honeymoon! You’re revolutionizing the way you experience yourself, and that reinvigorates all the connections you have with others! Also, any health or anxiety issues can heal through imagery, meditation or subtle forms of healing (think massage, yoga, and homeopathy). Remember, you’re in charge of your thoughts, which means you’re also in control of your nervous system, moods and body. You can heal because you are your ultimate healer!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Even more than your Libra friends, health issues can heal through meditation and visualization. Be kind to yourself, while seeing your body as powerful and transformative. You can also have insights into how to solve stressful situations at work or in closest relationships. If you’re a parent, really listen to your kids, since you can see deeply into their problems (which could

February 2017

even be karmic) and help them in amazing ways. Also pay attention to dreams, since many messages can come through your subconscious.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) This is a fun relationship month! If single, you can start a new one. If partnered, things will be extra playful and lighthearted. Plan day trips or longer travels. For more results, meditate on childhood or family issues that block joy. Breakthroughs are immediate as you clear away “karmic cobwebs” that interfere with accomplishing goals. If you’ve neglected your spiritual practices, it’s a great time to jump back in, feeling re-inspired and refreshed.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Pay attention to subtle voices in your mind. This month’s eclipses stimulate your subconscious to supply you with great ideas and insights if you listen carefully in meditation and to your “gut instincts”. You can start a project at work that leads to an amazing promotion or new job in the fall. Go with it and see where it takes you over time. You can also work with investments, savings or general finances so they supply you with even more prosperity!
