Sandie Sedgbeer: Dr. Semir Osmanagich, welcome. You’re a worldrenowned expert on pyramids. You have investigated the structures in China, Mauritius, the Canary Islands, Egypt, Peru, El Salvador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Honduras, Mexico, etc. And, in 2005, you discovered the first pyramids on European soil. Can you tell us, briefly, how that discovery came about?
Sandie Sedgbeer: When you first started excavating, what did you imagine that your excavations would reveal?

Are You Willing to Do Whatever It Takes to Create the Health You Say You Want? by Dr. Lee Ann Kalaba, DC
Humans are Creatures of Habit that Resist Change Many humans are creatures of habit. There is a tendency to stay within a comfort zone, to keep doing things just as they have always been done,
Omtimes.com
and to resist change. Change is scary, a turn into unknown territory. Many would rather stay in the unpleasant familiar than risk going into the unknown. And, people are afraid of giving up what they think brings them pleasure, as if they will be missing out on something. This is often true even when acknowledging that change is the very thing needed to reach goals someone has set for him or herself, especially regarding health.
Want Better Health? Be Open to Suggestions Many health practitioners see this daily in their offices. People become clients with the intention of improving their level of health. They want to feel better, get relief from aches and pains, or turn around a stubborn and sometimes scary health
condition. This motive is not in doubt. But when it comes time to take empowered actions to bring about some level of healing, those very same people balk at the suggestion. “I’ll do anything but give up bread.” “I will never stop drinking coffee.” “I have a glass of wine every night. It helps me relax.” “I hate exercise.” “You want me to come in twice a week?” Or how about this one, “I cut out gluten for 10 days, and I didn’t notice a difference.”
Results Take Time, Energy, and Commitment One common cliché illustrates this clearly: If you keep doing the things you have always done, then you will keep getting the same results. And yes, real results take real

Synchronicities – Dance with the Cosmic Flow by Sherrie Dillard
Could It Be Choice or Synchronicities? We are being led. There is a presence moving through our heart, mind, and soul that guides and directs us. Meaningful coincidences or

truth. Despite the powerful effect that a synchronicity can have on us, we all too soon attempt to dumb it down by rationalization.
Synchronicities are no accident. The universe has carefully orchestrated the seemingly impossible convergences of things, people, events, and conditions. It does not matter how great or small the coincidence may be. We immediately recognize when we intersect with the cosmic. Although others may not always be able to feel and see it, we know when we are touched by the transcendent. The heart smiles, the mind opens, and like an Olympian gymnast, the soul joyously flips and leaps.
We want to creep back into the logical and the rational as if the cosmic doors had not flung open. The thinking mind wants to take charge and explain away the magic and unexplainable; don’t let it. Live with the mystery and allow it to flow through the mind, body and spirit like a healing balm. Synchronicities invite us to experience life through the cosmic portal of connection and oneness. Soak in the deep rays of the universal life force current and allow it to promote and support aspects of self that we may not always have the courage to know.

Are You on the Dark Side or Light? by Lynn Zambrano
Are You Aware of Your Frequency? Humans are dualistic by nature. We are both of spirit/source energy and ego persona/matter. When we are about three years old, we start developing our sense of self/individually. This happens primarily by labeling and
Omtimes.com
judging our perception of what is appearing. If we never learn to temper this as we grow older, we separate from our spirit as well as from others. This leads to feelings of loneliness, isolation, and even abandonment. We have ultimately abandoned our spiritual self through constant separation.
Sensitive People May Struggle with Duality Let us look at this from another angle. Instead of labels such as bad/dark, we use the term low frequency, and substitute high frequency for good/light. Now we are working within a range. Each person in humanity holds an energetic frequency on this range. Energetic signatures are the total of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. We are all unique and have a base setting when we are born, a natural operating range/frequency which is then tuned through our energetic signature. Why? Each of us is here to experience, learn and grow through the vessel
of humanity. Humans are dualistic, for each frequency there is an opposite frequency: low and high for example. Our base setting is determined by the life lessons we are here to experience. Does that mean people can’t change? We can always respond to life from our higher selves rather than react from our ego persona. It takes awareness and conscious observation. It’s a practice which requires dedication. It can be done.
Spiritual Teachers and the Energetic Range Where do spiritual teachers fit in? When we are shifting up that energetic range, it is helpful for someone higher on the scale to hold the space and support us through the transition. Their presence helps adjust our vibration and frequency. Do all teachers shift you up? No, they don’t, we must use discernment when choosing a teacher. Remember we are all operating on a range. Look for people whose words and actions have congruency. Whose presence feels uplifting without them speaking.

How to Survive Mercury Retrograde in 2017 by Kathy Biehl
Listen to Kathy Biehl’s Audio for this Article If you’re familiar with the term, “Mercury retrograde,” odds are you don’t have good feelings about it. “Oh, no, not again!” is the usual reaction to learning that one is coming up.
Omtimes.com
Take heart! It doesn’t mean the sky is falling. Mercury retrograde is not a freak occurrence, much less the end of the world. It’s a regular phenomenon that happens three or four times a year. We can’t stop it, but we can understand and work with it. Read on for how.
Communication Challenges During Retrogrades
First, the technicalities: Mercury is retrograde when it’s traveling backwards. That’s an optical illusion, of course, and happens when the planet’s orbital speed changes in comparison to the earth’s. It’s the planetary equivalent of speeding up on a highway, passing a car and seeing it fall far behind after you in the rear-view mirror.
The need for that extra attention often comes from things not working properly. Our information flow is always a casualty. Messages go astray. Misunderstandings, confusion, half-truths and deception are rampant. Both sides of a conversation may use the same words, but the words may not have the same meaning at all. Or expectations and assumptions may differ. (Reallife example: an organization awarding a book contract on a Mercury retrograde and terminating it two retrograde cycles later, because the authors and the publisher never agreed on what the book was supposed to be about.)
How this works: When Mercury is moving in reverse, the areas of life it governs do not play by the usual rules. Anything related to communication and travel requires extra attention. This includes phones, computers and electronic devices, the mail (remember that?), cars, public transportation and commutes.
Vehicles of communication also misfire. Machines or systems with an inherent instability hit the breaking point. Technology malfunctions. Websites and networks go down. Programs stop working. Tasks that should be ordinary turn into a gauntlet of error messages and trouble-shooting.

Counting the Good in Your Life by Maria Khalife
“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.� --Willie Nelson We were born with two incredible freedoms: the freedom of will and the freedom of choice. When
Omtimes.com
we learn how to use these freedoms in our lives, we can guide, direct, and select precisely what we will have and what we will set aside.
Accomplishments Comprise the Good in Our Life Because of the phenomenal accomplishments made in our lifetime, because of the exponential growth of technology, because of the enormity of personal wealth, we may think that if we haven’t manifested extraordinary success, we have nothing to call good in our life. I beg to disagree. The accomplishment of all big things is composed of hundreds of thousands of small accomplishments, every one of which was a crucial piece that contributed to the big one. I urge you to count the good in your life beginning with its smallest pieces. Here: let me give you a few examples.
Some of the Good We Do Every Day You can breathe in and out. Now that may seem silly, but imagine the alternative! Aliveness is so wonderful all by itself. Life is such a blessing. You can see. Observe the beauty in nature, the thrill of a powerful rainstorm, the sweetness of a newborn child, your bi-monthly paycheck, the gasoline going into your car. You can watch the sun come up and then set in the evening. How lucky you are. You can feel. Feel the crispness of clean sheets on your bed and the sun warming your skin and scalp. You can feel the breeze blowing your hair back off your face, and the softness of our child’s hand holding ours. We can sense our food digesting in our belly, and if someone is looking at us in a crowd. You can feel who’s calling you when the phone rings. Feeling is such a valuable sense.
