The secret to listening that few people seem to understand (still) is this: you don’t listen with your mouth.

I was paid a compliment at Enchanted awhile back, from one of our regular customers that came in to thank me.  I wasn’t sure why, exactly, to be honest.

What A Customer Said That Made My Week:

But then, she said something, that seems so simple, that one might dismiss its importance.

She told me that she visited weeks earlier, which I remembered the conversation, and she was having “tough” day. Which after the fact, and now knowing more of the details, “tough”, only told a fraction of the story.  What she needed most that particular day was simply to have somebody listen.

She came in, I asked minimal questions, listened, shared some encouraging words and she left.  I didn’t think anything of it; such events happen all the time, but to HER it meant the world.

Just being there can be everything..

Here are some additional thoughts and perspectives about the art of listening that may offer more insight.

There is a very direct and deliberate reason why the Hemi-Sync CD’s we carry come with a no joking around disclaimer and warning on every single package: including talking to your doctor first, and not operating vehicles while in use.  The short answer is, simply because Hemi-Sync sound technology, works.

A Hemi-Sync CD methodically orchestrates the right, most precise audio tones, neats and patterns to achieve a highly focused brain (science proof is available with more visual aids than a Ross Perot pie chart) that allows the objective of each each CD: whether to aid in relaxation for a meditative state of mind, to slip into a more lucid state for controlling your dreams, to wake your consciousness and obtain focus, or whatever is wanting to be achieved.

But there are NUMEROUS titles in their catalog of possibilities.  Enchanted Moments at 127 Main Street, in historical downtown Milford, has a giant, black spinner housing an impressive collection of most.  Each is usually priced around $19.95, usually the only exception being multi Hemi-Sync CD Sets that take a more “multi-pronged” approach to solve one’s problem, such as Naturally healing Cancer.

Results are best achieved when you listen to Hemi-Sync earing a set of headphones, so each channel can speak to the right or left side of your brain, individually, but simultaneously (in stereo).  The specific patterns presented are made to alter your brain and stack advantages on your side, and can work so effectively well that it comes with multiple warnings about what activities you should not be doing, when listening – - while driving is one giant no-no, for example.

Hemi-Sync (created by Monroe Products) constantly publishes and releases new HemiSync CD collections.  Recently, they’ve released a Manifestation Hemi-Sync CD (Manifesting With Hemi-Sync CD) featuring verbally guided exercises to guide you while potent frequency pull your brain into the right mode for maximum achievement, varying frequencies being listened to.

Also, recently released is a a Hemi-Sync for Sleep CD, titled: Seaside Slumber that melds together solo piano played by artist, Steven Halpern, Delta Frequencies and tones as well as the back and forth, drifting, near and far sounds of natural ocean waves.  Achieving a deep, relaxing experience for sleep.  Put on repeat, and listen to it all night long.

Zener cards are a tool that is used in many applications: magicians often use them to prove that they can read an audience member’s mind (but their way often involves slight of hand or trickery), they can be a simple application used for developing your intuition, or something to test one’s compatibility, such as finding a lover, or destined soul mate.

So just what are Zener cards? In a nut-shell, they are a deck of cards with simple shapes on them, often including: a circle, a star, squiggly lines, a cross (like the addition sign), and a square. They are made to be simple, but varied enough to have multiple applications and choices when being “guessed”.

As you might guess, the Zener cards were named after the fellow who first brought them to market, Dr. Karl Zener in the 1920′s. Originally, he used them as they are still used today by the majority, as a tool to prove how developed one’s intuition (psychic ability) really was. Not relying on just chance or being “lucky”, he created his Zener cards to have a way to measure, track, test and improve upon results.

Most often, although there are many variations on the basic concept, there are twenty five cards in a deck, and 5 different suits – each represented by the five basic shapes I shared with you above. Sometimes the variations within the suit are different colors of the shape, size of that shape, different color back grounds, thickness of the line art, etc.

Recently when Rose Vanden Eynden, author of three books visited our Spiritual Studio near Enchanted Moments for a lecture, we were able to capture some extra footage of Rose answering some of the most frequently asked questions that she has received while writing and now promoting her newest book: Ask A Medium.

This question pertains to what happens to pets in the spirit world and is there a pet afterlife?

What happens to animals which are neglected, and pets that have passed who are deeply loved?

We still have a some other videos from Rose’s visit and if you want them sooner rather than later, let us know.

Robin keeps cartoons in the Enchanted Moments office at the shop, some of which are tailored to a woman’s perspective and as a man I know I’m wrong – ;^) so when I saw this page in a magazine, it made me think of her…

Note the “ever so clever” advertisement for drinking water as words of wisdom…

Here are some of the inspirational, motivational, happiness sayings found within:

“Living in the moment could be the meaning of life.”

“Children are the orgasm of life.”

“Friends are more important than money.”

“Your outlook on life is a direct reflection of how much you like yourself.”

On a side note, friends with money are so bad either.  Just kidding.  Thought you might enjoy this…

There are many people in the metaphysical business we find ourselves in.

And we’ve seen it all: the good, the bad and the ugly.  Unfortunately, many people flock to such subject matter seeking fame or fortune, rather than becoming more spiritual.

One can find more astrologers, psychic mediums, holistic healers, you name it out there, and it’s tough to tell who’s who. In our many travels seeking out cool new products or staying up on the latest trends or technique, there’s often a regular occurrence.  And it has to do with Free Natal Chart Readings, or what is commonly referred to as your birth chart.

Your birth chart, simply is a mathematical representation of how the sky looked the “exact” moment you were born.  You may also think of it as a map of stars that can provide insight into who you are,where you are going and to some people’s amazement, where you’ve been or major life changing events already happened.  Your birth cart will constantly be referenced if you do anything astrological.  In coming posts, we’ll explain more about astrological charts, what they mean, how to read them and how to use them as a tool in your life.

And your natal chart, or birth chart is unique to you…

Over the weekend, the Victory of Light Expo (psychic festival) occurred.  There were a lot of people – lots!  It reminded us of how many times we’ve seen people line up to get what use to be free natal chart readings, but soon turned to natal chart readings that start at $25 and up.  People will line up and wait for their chart to be printed off, based on their exact birth date (date and time – represented by a 24 hour clock) as well as the place or location of your birth.

And many will walk away with a cool looking chart, specific to them, having paid a small sum.

But, unless you know how to read such free natal chart readings, it’s useless.  Sure, it’s kinda cool looking; it’s neat to do some self analyzing (which is often biased mind you – as few can or want to look at themselves through objective eyes, or worse will only see themselves through critical eyes), but how someone actually reads and interprets said birth chart, quickly weeds out the truer astrologers from the wannabe’s.

See, with the right astrology software and related (widely available), anybody can plug some numbers into a keyboard and spit out a piece of paper, black and white, or with color inks to woo and wow you, but FEW can offer you any insight as to what to DO with what so many people just paid for.

Sharon Finch, our resident astrologer has literally been doing exactly this (as well as Astro-Dice) for about 30 years plus, while many other “astrologers” rely on referencing a book – - I mean it’s only your future, right?

As said, look forward to more posts about natal chart readings and what to do with the information found on your birth chart.
