Hello Dear Ones,

Well the summer has flow by with lightening speed. It surely has been an abundant and transformative time for many of us. I have shared so many special moments in the places I traveled with wonderful people. I am delighted at the new connections I have been blessed to make with those who seem to share a common goal of wholeness and peace.

I was able to take a side trip to Vermont visit my last remaining Uncle. Who is 88 years old. Seeing this once strong man becoming so frail reminded of the changing seasons and the inevitable cycle of life. I was grateful that I took the time to see him and to have the opportunity to experience the familial connection.

While nothing of my life fits into the paradigm of his life, he asked questions and tried to make a connection. The way he tried to thread the connections which made sense to him, were both endearing and astute.

My Mother, Father, Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Uncles and aunts have all passed away. Uncle Bob is my last remaining elder and this visit will become yet another treasured memory. Life is something to be cherished and enjoyed.

We are in an incredible period of our evolution right now. It has been prophesied by our ancestors and the star beings and now we are in it. Our brains are being rewired to accommodate a new paradigm and the influx of energy on our Earth. Our electromagnetic bodies are evolving and so is the body of the earth. She has had to evolve to accommodate the increased gamma rays and various electromagnetic frequencies. Our brains are being rewired and this can leave us feeling rather chaotic as we go through this change…. this transformation.

Energy balancing modalities will help us a great deal as we go through the chaos that this change is bringing. This shift will continue into November. It is just as important for energy workers and light workers to keep their field balanced and healthy as it is for our clients. We must not become complacent and think because we understand the way energy works that we are immuned to these shifts and changes. We are All going through it.

I am so grateful to have received many tools to help me during this time of change and the most recent has been the Auracles Colours. These beautiful essences have been designed as another tool to help us through this evolutionary transition.

These exquisite living Colours were developed by Alchemist Leslie Sloan. Leslie paid attention to her visions and inner promptings for ten year before giving birth to the Auracle Colours. On August 8, 2008, just before the eclipse, during the 888 stargate opening, Leslie brought forward two new bottles to add to her already exquisite collection of healing colour rays. They are called the Royal Stargate and Illumination Stargate Bottles. Leslie tells me, “They are here to active the Golden Heart and the third eye through spiritual surrender. They carry celestial energies which are aligned to remove grief and guilt. The iridescent colours of Violet, Gold and Turquoise are part of the opening of the portal of Christ in the Great Pyramid, which sits on a higher dimension between the Kings and Queens’ chambers. The colours usher in the new ascension path for our Golden Mastery within ourselves and those we love. These are the unseen colours that are becoming known as the veil continues to drop”. 

Auracle Colour Therapy

The colours allow the darkness to light up into a beautiful design and form. When choosing your colours for a reading or for a colour therapy treatment, they reveal the Blueprint of your soul. By using them they light up all the strands within your being that have gone dark allowing you to experience a life of light and Unconditional Love… Is there any other kind?

These colours are safe, pure and alive. There are absolutely no chemicals in Auracle’s Colours to keep the integrity within these extremely high frequencies, allowing those who use them to shift and heal quickly. Auracle’s Colours are made with special powders from Mother Earth that have resulted in a spectrum of 25 beautiful and illuminating natural colours, as well as gem essences, blessed waters, oils, some which go back into the time of Christ, and energies of all Angels, Archangels, Masters and Ascended Masters from every culture as every journey is different and every soul has its own calling and perception. The Masters guide the session….

During the month of September 2008 I am offering Auracles Colour sessions at a special introductory fee of only $60. This will include a reading and a colour healing session. After September the fee will be $150 for this service. I invite you to delve into the magnificent healing power of these extremely alive and vital colours. Call 519-823-2162 or email barbara@soulconnection.ca to book your appointment.

Colour is such an integral part of our spiritual bodies and the chakra system which animates the physical body.
