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.

Superwoman & The A-ha Moment Years ago while attending a Pow Wow, I was privileged to sit in an Aboriginal healing circle. As individuals shared their grief for the benefit of healing, although I revealed nothing from my own life, I wept non-stop for over two-hours. When I asked the Shaman leading this circle the reason for my reaction she explained, “You are a channel. It’s a gift from the Great Spirit. You cry the tears others cannot.” For over twenty years now I’ve gratefully used this gift with pride, spontaneously assisting individuals with the expression of their heartache, so when I opted to write this column, I believed myself to be Spiritually mature, well poised to provide streams of wisdom to the masses and confident in my ability to ride any Spiritual wave with balanced energy fit for stormy seas. Now, you may remember from my last few articles that there have been some very unsettling events swelling up around me. Each incident has left me a bit more off balance, but because of the nature of my gift and even though this most disturbing sinking feeling was never part of the experience before, I allowed myself to believe what was pulling me under was the unintentional channelling other people’s grief. I could see no other possible explanation so I intended to weather the storm. More
Along Came a Spider by Mary Giuffre
“I am a mess of emotions,” she explained. “To know ahead of time that you are leaving and will not be with the people and everything you love so much is so cruel. To know ahead of time that someone you love so much is leaving you is so cruel. People say to me to make the best of the time we have left together but it is so difficult not to just cry all the time.” Feeling the sting of her unbearable sadness and knowing I was at a loss to console her with anything I might say, my day continued with mundane chores and seemingly endless reflection on the frailties of life, until down from the ceiling, dangling on a long silken thread, a delicate little spider lowered herself gracefully into my line of sight.

Altitude is Everything
You see, in the past three weeks I’ve travelled almost 1500 kilometres visiting family members who are contemplating death through the ailments they’ve chosen and those who have been left behind after a loved decided to succumb to illness and transition to the other side. There have also been endless phone conversations and e-mails with individuals in crisis over chosen behaviours that are causing irreparable damage to relationships and even more news of acquaintances deciding to deal with similar traumas. Many will argue adamantly. “We were given free will, so why on earth would I choose this!? Sometime s**t just happens!”. But it doesn’t. Our Divine Creator has been extremely fair with this gift of free will, so whether we accept it or not, everything that happens to us is our personal choice and we don’t just decide on the good stuff.

A MANNER OF SPEAKING - by Mary Giuffre Unfortunately considerate social behaviour is on a steady decline because technology helps us neglect the people around us. In our so-called advanced techno-culture, graciousness, courtesy, generosity, respect and many other signs of a well-mannered society appear to be completely ignored. More

Goal Tenders – by Mary Giuffre
Me: “I really don’t know. I don’t set goals. Never have. I think that’s why I’ve been so successful.” HR Interviewer: Blank Stare Our society is stuck on goals. Too many people I’ve met manage their lives a lot like a sports match. They feel it’s their duty to plot out rigid step-by-step manoeuvres, pinpointing exactly what they want and where they should be on life’s playing field, then mapping exactly how they propose to go about getting there. They feel most unacceptable to themselves if they don’t live up to their own expectations by scoring the winning play and even worse, if they miss the mark, they make themselves sick with worry about what their competitors will think of them. But they still make it their life’s mission to tend their goals! More

Vision Bored – by Mary Giuffre
With the huge success of the Secret and the heartfelt story one contributor told about his boxes and boxes of vision boards and the tearful revelation to his young daughter that years after putting them together, he unknowingly purchased and they were living in the exact home he had posted on one of those boards eons ago, I was truly impressed and determined that I was going to give it an honest shot! I scoured the internet for exactly the right shots of the home and car I wanted. I decided on a dollar amount I felt comfortable manifesting. I grabbed the most recent bank statement for my ever-growing line of credit and meticulously whited-out the five-digit negative balance and replaced it with a prominent $00.00 value, then proudly placed my masterpiece in my Wealth and Prosperity Corner with a Feng Shui mirror positioned at just the right angle to double the value of everything I wished for and for about a month I sent out the best possible energy, visualizing and meditating on a brighter future. About two months later my manifesting time got a bit looser and by three months into it I was totally vision bored. More

Spirituality Is Not Religion – by Mary Giuffre
The way I see it, most religions have a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices that carry huge and treacherous personal penalties if individuals fall out of line. Most religious people I know are a devoted, unwavering, meticulous, but fearful lot. They’ve studied a human interpretation of scripture that says “the man upstairs” is this all-powerful angry creator guy who is judge, jury and executioner of everyone and everything. I think it’s pretty reasonable to be afraid of that story! More

Riding the Spiritual Wave
There is such a gift in traumatic events. (The intimate details of mine are irrelevant. You can insert your own drama here if you must.) And oh yes, suffering can bring you to your knees, but when searing pain breaks you open, you’re left with incredible options. You can decide to retreat back into the discomfort and familiarity of your former life or to invite in the extraordinary. More
