| REVIEW - Mindi Abair – In Hi-Fi Stereo Heads Up International (www.mindiabair.com) May 25, 2010 – Well, one things for sure, Mindi Abair is not shopping on Main Street anymore. As they say, “run away from the past and eventually it will run into you.” Abair just isn’t pretty anymore, musically that is. On ‘In Hi-Fi Stereo’ she’s taking the elevator to the basement where everything started. It’s not only her musical foundation but also a place we’ve all been before. It’s the room where the backbone of many inspirations first started – the golden age of R&B, Soul and Funk. ‘In Hi-Fi Stereo’ displays a musician almost channelling mid-to-early eighties David Sanborn and that ain’t a bad thing. Sure, I can hear the purists saying it’s derivative but Abair serves up a sense of cool and it’s a smart career choice that still fits in Smooth Jazz and the more traditional outlets will probably taste-test as well. Watch this trend expand as more Smooth Jazz musicians fight to escape the box that’s been built around them and sometimes by them. More |

What’s Invisible? My Three First Books On that night, August 16, 1987, I was feeling like a deep vacuous hole of emotional need ready to suck the life out of anyone within a 90 mile radius. I was suffering from an acute case of divorce. Even though I didn’t know it consciously at the time, my adult life was really just beginning. I was 27 and after a few false starts as a broadcaster, doing the wrong music at the wrong radio stations for the wrong people, I found New Age music. Seriously it helped. It’s very debatable on what effect the harmonic Convergence really had. I didn’t hear world peace knocking on my door but at least, I was changing. It’s the only thing you can bet on, right? There I was on my porn-star-throne, my plywood ‘free flow’ waterbed, writing the last chapter of my first book. Fueled by grandiose delusions, the kind we see on American Idol every Tuesday, I was holding on to the dream that my musings of being dumped by my wife would create saccharine sunshine for the world to heal, or at least some reasonable hand-drawn facsimile of a Kumbaya moment. It did neither and for good reason. Still, I was convinced that even though I was licking the floor with pain and self-pity my ramblings were still gold and on that night I was convinced I had written the perfect break-up self-help book. I just needed a title. More |

John Beaudin – President and Program Director of What’s Invisible The conscious journey, for me, started by reading “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale. I was only twelve then. Considered an easy read with a hard execution, the book changed the way I looked at life. I found myself literally looking at the center of the pie from a different angle. Growing up in the seventies when belts were used for more than positioning pants I had my fair share of tough sojourns as a kid. I was sensitive, extremely afraid of the dark and had an insanely wild imagination. I saw things that were not there and felt too much but used books to self medicate. Coming from a long line of alcoholics I thought it best to draw a line in the sand on what should make me high. I chose knowledge. More |

July 24, 2011 – Even though most people seem to believe that Amy Winehouse died of an overdose Scotland Yard is saying, so far, her death is “unexplained.”
July 23, 2011 – It’s sad to say that many saw this coming. According to reports Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home today. Sky News and BBC reported police sources as confirming the 27-year-old singer's death.
- While in deep hypnosis I lifted her arm and with suggestion told her to go back to her most current past life. When her arm plopped down she found herself in a tent.
As Raymond Charles Barker wrote in his classic book Treat Yourself To Life: (paraphrased) I have discovered that the rules laid down for the good of humanity and its progress work only when they are interpreted in terms of the inner person, not the outer person.
- For many years now I’ve consciously, actively been on my spiritual journey. It’s been a twisty, curvy kind of off road track, meandering here and there, sloughing it up hills, careening out of control down hills.
- Myth 1 - "Tarot cards can predict the future." Predicting the future is not difficult we can all do it. If for example you know someone who is consistently spending more than they earn and paying for it by building up a credit card debt then it's not hard to predict where that one is heading.
- I’ve heard it said that holding on to unforgiveness is like taking poison while hoping the other person will die. The truth is, unforgiveness punishes you far worse than the person who did you harm. Chances are they have gone on about their life, clueless to the fact that you are still suffering and full of anger.
- Grammy Award-winning vocalist Sade has announced her highly anticipated return to the live stage, and fans in North America will see her first. Her tour begins on June 16, 2011, in Baltimore, MD, at the 1st Mariner Arena.
- As a teacher of how to use one's mind to manifest the things a person wants, I very often get the objection, "But what if what I want isn't what the Universe, my Higher Self, wants for me?"
- The Sanskrit for Horoscope is “Kundali”. The birth chart or natal chart in Sanskrit is then called “Janma Kundali”. By definition a horoscope depicts the position of all the planets in heaven for given date, time and sun sign. This date and time is critical because planets are in constant motion and their positions are continuously changing. 




February 26, 2010 – I have never watched the Olympics very much, that’s until this year. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m a proud Canadian and we are hosting the games. It could be because our medal count is looking tastier by the day or simply, national pride aside, the spirit and discipline all these athletes display.
