The Sylvia Browne N e w s l e t t e r January/February 2 0 1 0 Y ou are all messengers from God, sent to Earth to carry a message. But this message is encrypted, and you must decipher it within yourself. In other words, you carry a part of the emanation of the Divine. It's as though you're a scroll for the Word of God. It's true that God exists without you, but all of you are a part of God. You will live forever, you have lived forever, and you will never be diminished or lost. Spirituality means, in essence, finding yourself, finding the God within and without, and fighting the battle against negativity. You see, even if just one of you will go out into the world and show the light to others, then a “grayness” has turned bright. This is how you fight negativity, and it only takes a handful of you to accomplish a great deal. Each of you is here to evolve your soul. You've chosen to experience life in order to perfect more rapidly. You're evolving as a unique part of God, perfecting one aspect of Him and Her. God experiences through His and Her creations, a "duality of God". Start looking at life as something you must survive. It's something that can be fun, but it's also very tedious. As best you can, look at life as a school where bad food is served in the cafeteria and the teachers aren't always of the highest caliber. You'll make it through much better if you maintain a sense of humor. -God love you, I do, The Sylvia Browne Jewelry Collection We are very pleased to introduce the Sylvia Browne Spiritual Collection, which is an exquisite collection of finely crafted jewelry.

Celebrating New Beginnings Welcome to the first issue of The Sylvia Browne Newsletter. You might be saying to yourself, "What? First issue? I've been getting the newsletter forever!" As some of you may already know, the November/December issue marked the end of Sylvia's contract with Hay House, who brilliantly published Sylvia's newsletter for many years. But with every end, there is a new beginning and that's just what we are looking forward to for many issues to come. New beginnings bring new friends, new adventures, and new knowledge that there is a greater purpose in everything that we do. As you sit back and enjoy this issue, you will notice that most things remain the same. Why did we do this? Because we realize that you have come to know and love Sylvia's newsletter just as it was: easy to read and beautifully formatted. All of the articles that you look forward to reading (Dear Sylvia, Dream Catcher, Life Themes, etc.) will always be a constant. However, a lot of thought and energy has gone into adding a few new The Sylvia Browne Newsletter 1700 Winchester Blvd. Suite 100 Campbell, CA 95008 Phone: 408-379-7070, Fax: 408-379-8129 SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 1 sections we feel that you will particularly fancy.

I also see You lovingly before me, watching with patient eyes; each tear I’ve shed is only in the space of Your heartbeat. Hope springs within me that each laugh and tear lights a path to You; to be is only to exist in loving You and in You loving me. In this, I have acquired not only the hope, but the belief in my immortality. Sylvia’s Farewell To Hay House The month of November wrapped up Sylvia's Farewell Tour with Hay House. Sylvia hosted a Mystical Traveler cruise to the Caribbean along with special guest Colette Baron-Reid. They each gave a series of lectures on board and mingled among guests at the Hay House Cocktail Party. This was truly a magical cruise, seeing quite a few familiar faces from previous trips with Sylvia, and enjoying the tropical weather in Autumn. After disembarking in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Sylvia headed over to Tampa for the "I Can Do It" event where she was a keynote speaker. "It was great," Sylvia said of her final shows with Hay House. "I love Hay House and they love me. The people are always interesting!" Sylvia is looking forward to her 2010 lecture tour but will always hold a special place in her heart for Hay House and the staff that she came to know and love over the years.

Rip them out and call them by name.” ~ Sylvia The Truth About Psychics: What’s Real, What’s Not, and How to Tell the Difference S ylvia has a new book out on the market, and we are buzzing with excitement! You have always wanted to know, how do psychic abilities work....and how can you tell if they're real? In this fascinating look into the history of spiritualism, Sylvia tells all: what's real, what's not, and how to tell the difference! Starting with her own personal odyssey, Sylvia covers the history of psychics dating from biblical times and reveals the truth about everything from witches and talking boards to angels and astral projection. Did you know... If someone tells you that an object is “haunted”...they are probably fooling you. Objects can retain impressions of prior owners, like a photograph, but they don’t contain the spirits of those on the Other Side. If you get rid of one item in your house...it should be the talking board. Using one is like leaving your front door unlocked, inviting anyone (good or evil) to waltz right in. How to tell if a psychic is giving you a good reading...or just following a script. There are a few key phrases that can give away a fake. Through a wealth of personal stories and research into the lives of great psychics, Sylvia offers solid advice on how to put valid procedures to use and ignore the rest. The Truth About Psychics explains how you can spot a fraud and shows you how to tap into your own spiritualism and develop legitimate psychic skills! An Interview With Sylvia Q: What compelled you to write this book? A: I got tired of people being bilked out of money by being told that they were cursed, etc. Q: You have often said that you are not psychic when it comes to yourself. In the past, did you ever go to a psychic for a reading? If so, did he or she say anything to you that has proven to be correct? A: They won't read for me - they say my energy is too high. Q: Now more than ever, people are turning to others for guidance to help them cope with the difficulties of this rapidly changing world. What are some things people should keep in mind when dealing with someone who claims that they are a psychic? A: Find out if they are licensed or affiliated with the Better Business Bureau. See how specific they are and talk to others. Also see how long they have stayed in one place. Q: People have fraudulently used your name and success for their own profit, pretending to be you on the phone and online. How does this make you feel? A: Terrible. But I hope people have enough smarts now to go to my official website, www.SylviaBrowne.com, and call my office in Campbell, CA. You can also recognize my voice and the way I look. Q: What can you say to those who have been scammed by charlatans to instill confidence that there are truly gifted psychics out there? A: First, turn those people in to the District Attorney’s office. There are legitimate psychics out there. Ask them some of the things I have described. What do they support? Are they spiritual? Ask yourself: how does this reading fit into your life? “The Truth About Psychics” was released in December of 2009 by Simon and Schuster. You can purchase an autographed copy of this book on Sylvia’s website www.SylviaBrowne.com.

You may be surprised by the number of historical figures who have had the gift of prophecy- Joan of Arc, George Washington, Mark Twain, and Cyrano de Bergerac, to name a few. Each year for as long as she can remember, Sylvia has made her New Year's predictions in the areas of politics, weather, religion, health, the economy, and even Hollywood celebrities. In her book “Prophecy” (Dutton), Sylvia says that she can't explain the mechanics of how she collects her information. "I just do it," Sylvia has said. She was just born this way. How accurate is Sylvia? According to her, she has been tested a "bazillion" times by numerous experts, and her accuracy is rated between 87 and 90 percent. "Only God can be 100 percent. And if any psychic tells you otherwise, they're lying!" As you read Sylvia's predictions for 2010, some of you may be curious about how many of Sylvia's past predictions really came true. In this issue, we'd like to highlight some of Sylvia's on-target predictions that she made for 2009. SYLVIA'S PREDICTION: There will be more train accidents. THE VALIDATION: There was a considerable number of railway accidents in 2009. In fact, as of the time of writing this article (12/09), there have been 11 major train accidents reported from around the world, taking dozens of lives and seriously injuring many more. Accidents have occurred in 9 different countries including the U.S.; Germany; China; India; Italy; Egypt; Croatia; Slovakia; and Russia. On November 27, 2009 a bomb exploded under a high speed train traveling between the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. There were 27 confirmed deaths as a result of the derailment, and over 90 more injured. The Russian government confirmed terrorist activity. SYLVIA'S PREDICTION: A large ocean liner will go aground in March. THE VALIDATION: On February 18th, 2009, less than 2 weeks from March, the Antarctic cruise ship M/V Ocean Nova ran aground in Marguerite Bay, near the Antarctic Peninsula, with 106 passengers and crew on board. Fortunately, all of the passengers were transferred to another ship, who came to their rescue, and the ship was freed by high tides the following day. SYLVIA'S PREDICTION: There will be an uprising, similar to the '60s riots, in Oakland, California. THE VALIDATION: In the early morning hours of New Year's Day 2009, a policeman fatally shot a young man named Oscar Grant while he was resisting arrest. He was being arrested for participating in a fight that escalated between several people on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train. Grabbing a pistol instead of his taser, the cop knelt on the back of Grant's neck and shot him in the back. Grant was unarmed. There were numerous eyewitnesses and video footage soon made its way on the News and on the Internet. The public reacted by violently protesting and rioting on 4 different occasions throughout the month of January, causing over $200,000 in damage due to fires and vandalism. SYLVIA'S PREDICTION: There will be a large bank robbery in Las Vegas involving a Brinks truck. THE VALIDATION: Armored car robbers in Las Vegas took off in December with what they thought was a 1 million dollar money bag. Police confirm that there was actually only $36,000 in cash and the rest of the amount was accounted for in checks and other receipts. Investigators said that the robbery appeared to be a well-planned daylight heist in the parking lot of a Las Vegas casino. Of course, the money was being transported from the casino vault to the bank. * As a reminder, Sylvia's 2009 predictions were made on September 15, 2008 and appeared in the Jan/Feb '09 issue of Sylvia's newsletter. Sylvia ~ You Rock Our World Close your eyes Open your heart Pray to God That's how it starts He surrounds you with A beautiful light All darkness fades Your heart becomes bright Above: Sylvia and Novus Spiritus Minister Melanie Tharnish at a lecture in Denver, CO Sylvia’s fans demand to be heard! Sylvia Browne has touched so many lives in a positive way, that many people have expressed the desire to show their gratitude. They want to be sure that Sylvia knows what an incredibly positive impact she has had on the world. Therefore, this segment is dedicated to Sylvia’s fans who want their thoughts and prayers heard. SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 5 You feel as if you are Walking on air The spirit of God Is everywhere Don't dwell on your troubles Putting yourself down God loves you as you are How does that sound? His arms are always around you He is always holding your hand Smile, hope, and love For beside you he always stands -Freddie D. Stepp, Lakeview, AR 5 The Parable of the Candle love, and all things of GOD. I can remember when people in the old churches I attended would come up and say, "You have to believe this way" and they would chase me with their light (what I like to think of as a candle). What did that light do when it was running around chasing me? Did it illuminate my soul? No, it did not, it frightened me and that fear caused it to BLOW out. So let us not run around trying to shove our beliefs down the throats of people. Let us stay still, let our eternal flame attract those who want our truth, who see God in our lives and want that for themselves. Stay steady and you will have no problem showing the world who you are and who God is! ~Wanda Campbell, Byron, GA On the other hand, when you find someone who has peace, love, understanding, and grace in her heart (such as Sylvia) who radiates a steady flame, wouldn't I want to know her truth? Wouldn't it make sense to ask how she got this wonderful peace about her that passes understanding and have her share that knowledge? Yes, I did because she was a beacon of hope, Cont’d on page 7 Sylvia Dishes About The Holidays Q: Sylvia, did you enjoy the holidays? A: Yes, I didn't get frantic. I cooked but kept it simple and had my family around me. 12/30/2009 7:40:22 AM 6 Interested in a Study Group? Did you know that there really are people out there just like you, who share similar philosophies and values? Novus Spiritus Study Groups bring together like-minded individuals who: ×× Read and enjoy Sylvia’s books and lectures ×× Have been let down by organized religions that preach “guilt”, “sin” and a “vengeful God” ×× Are always looking for a deeper meaning in life and want answers to tough questions like; “Why are we here?”, “Why is there so much hate in the world?” and “Where do we go after this?” ×× Have always felt this way, but never had anyone with whom to share these ideas. Novus Spiritus has a program which allows you to become your own Study Group coordinator. Hold meetings with people in your area as time allows, and at your own pace. Want to find out if there is already a group in your area? Please visit www. novus.org for more information!

How long have you known Sylvia and how did you meet? It seems as if I've known Sylvia forever, but in this life I've known her for about 16 years. I will never forget the day I met Sylvia because it changed my life. I know it sounds cliche but it's the truth. I was exercising at my gym and a female acquaintance asked if I would like to go with her to a trance session with Sylvia Browne in Campbell, CA... THAT night. My first response was a blunt ...no, but she was not deterred and went on to tell me what an amazing experience it would be. Basically, I said yes just to get her to stop talking (but I did want to see Sylvia in person!) The minute I walked through the doors of Novus Spiritus and locked eyes with Sylvia Browne, I knew I was "home." (I will always be grateful to that woman for being the catalyst to steer me in what continues to be an amazing spiritual journey.) Q. What made you want to become a minister with Novus Spiritus? First and foremost, the Novus Spiritus philosophy. It felt right to me, it resonated within my soul and I wanted to share what I had learned with others. I never had a "calling" like some ministers have described, but I observed how Sylvia, Chris, and the ministers helped people. I wanted to be a part of that service. I had one big obstacle: I was painfully shy! With the help of Sylvia, the ministers, and the need to be a part of Novus Spiritus, I eventually got over that phobia. Q. Philosophy and teaching aside, has Sylvia's psychic abilities directly helped you in handling a personal issue of your own? Definitely! Sylvia has helped me many times but the most profound was my bout with Breast Cancer in March 1997. I had a radical mastectomy and she was there for me in ways I can never repay in this lifetime. She gave me the confidence and resolve to deal with this disease in the best way I could. I did not go with the recommended treatment and my family was told by doctors that I was in denial and would die within the year...almost thirteen years later, I am cancer free! (Please note: I did what I felt was right for me in my fight with cancer. I am not advocating others to do the same. Always do what you feel is in your best interest and what your body needs in dealing with any disease or illness!) Novus Spiritus Church Services Novus Spiritus represents the belief to worship the all-loving and caring Father and Mother God, love others as you love yourself, and respect your innate divinity.

You have extensive education and training with hypnosis and past Hilton Garden Inn life regressions. What is it about this particular field that continues 7830 S. Las Vegas Blvd. to amaze you? Are you always learning something new? Las Vegas, NV 89123 The power of our subconscious/super-conscious mind never fails to Contact phone: 702-914-5953 amaze me! Long before “The Secret”...Sylvia has been teaching, for years and years, how hypnosis (and meditation) can affect/change the MICHIGAN chemistry of the brain to help us be our healthiest- both mentally and physically. Science is now able to measure and actually see what goes Taylor Masonic Center 23263 Goddard Rd. on in the brain when we use hypnosis/meditation on a regular basis. The positive effects of hypnosis on just a few of our body's chemicals Taylor, MI 48180 Contact phone: 313-399-9826 include: 1). increases in the levels of GABA which is best known for stabilizing mood disorders; 2). boosted levels of DHEA and that causes a remarkable improvement in a person's sense of psychological WASHINGTON and physical well-being; 3). lowers levels of Cortisol which is an age Masonic Temple accelerating hormone. Too much cortisol lowers immunity, and leads 505 Williams Ave. to health problems; and 4). boosts levels of Melatonin, a hormone Renton, WA 98055 manufactured in the brain by the pineal gland. Melatonin creates Contact phone: 425-255-9042 restful sleep and is a powerful antioxidant. How exciting is that! The ability to utilize hypnosis and cell memory to aid in our healing and well being is beyond extraordinary. I love working with a client in a hypnosis session, particularly past life regression, in which the client can visit a significant time in his current life and in the future life, where a client is able to find and fill in the missing pieces of his "life puzzle," AND understand why, when, where, and how! cont’d on page 13 SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 6 12/30/2009 7:40:22 AM 7 It’s In The Cards Sylvia ~ You Rock Our World...Cont’d from page 5. "Sylvia lives in my heart forever...without her kind soul, I would be lost. Thank you always for your spiritual gift." ~ Karen Thorden, Dumont, NJ Receiving Positive Affirmations From Sylvia's Inspirational Card Decks Each newsletter, we will randomly pull a card from each of Sylvia's card decks: The My Spiritual Reading Cards and the Heart and Soul Cards. Both of these decks feature beautiful artwork and positive messages to give your spirit a boost. “The most important thing that Sylvia has taught me spiritually is that God is all loving. This may seem like a no-brainer but it goes much deeper than just words. No matter how stupid I can and probably will be on this journey, God loves me no matter what happens. God isn’t sitting up there waiting for me to mess up, God just loves me. Because of the message Sylvia has so graciously shared with us, I can live my life without fear of a vengeful God. The wonderful side effect is that I can also pass this wonderful love onto others which strengthens my love for God. Thank you so much Sylvia, for making this journey one filled with love, not fear.” ~ Karen Burgess, Edmonton, AB Do you have a poem, testimonial, photos, or piece of art that you’d like to submit for consideration in the next Sylvia Browne Newsletter?

SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 7 12/30/2009 7:40:25 AM 8 S Life Themes ylvia often teaches us that we each have unique life themes. She defines them as the purposes we choose when we come into life to perfect. “Everyone has a theme, and we all experience it individually, because we're all unique in the way we view and feel things." In each issue, Sylvia will elaborate on one theme. She asks that you read it carefully and meditate quietly on it. If it springs out at you and makes more sense than others, then more than likely, this is your primary theme. BUILDER T hese entities are the cornerstones of society, the unsung heroes and heroines of wars, home life, and organizations. Good parents are often builders, enabling their children to go on to a much larger canvas. Without these cogs, the wheels would never turn, yet builders rarely receive credit for the accomplishments made possible by their efforts. They need to keep in mind that not all prizes are won on this plane of existence. Often those who get the credit on Earth are not perfecting as rapidly as the builders who help to make their accomplishments possible.

Three books: ☼☼ Love in the Time of Cholera ☼☼ The Bible ☼☼ Anthology of Religion Three articles of clothing: ☼☼ Sun dress ☼☼ Bathing suit ☼☼ Jacket Three movies: ☼☼ Wuthering Heights ☼☼ The Night of the Iguana ☼☼ Gone With the Wind Prayer SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 8 Sylvia’s Healing Meditations Many people have told Sylvia that they have trouble meditating. They don't know how to visualize, or they've tried to meditate without much success. Sylvia says, "We can receive messages through infusion, a process where a thought appears in our minds. Many times we wonder where it comes from. Simply put, when we quiet the constant chatter of our minds, we open our channels to unseen, loving companions along the pathway of our lives." Below is a meditation for you from Sylvia to ease your challenges and bring you closer to divide guidance: The Raft Meditation I want you to use what we call the "raft." Visualize yourself in water. It's dark, the wind is blowing, and you're very frightened. Let yourself experience a mild phobic reaction. If you're afraid of water, practice this meditation anyway. Feel the waves, feel the darkness, and feel the aloneness. All of a sudden from this deep darkness, you see the clouds begin to disperse and find yourself bathed in moonlight. You're floundering, you're coughing, you're wet, and you're cold. After the clouds disappear, you notice a raft nearby. You've never seen this raft before. As soon as you spot it, you feel an overwhelming sense of security. You begin to swim toward it. Astonishingly, you actually see yourself on the raft. You may question, "If I'm in the water, how can I be on the raft at the same time?" The "you" in the water is the phobic, fearful you- the emotional, floundering, scared, frightened you. The "you" on the raft is the smiling, confident you. Ultimately, the goal is to bring the two together. The confident "you" reaches down and pulls the frightened "you" into the raft. Lo and behold, the frightened "you" merges with the stable "you." Now, imagine that the water, the darkness, the fear, and the cold all represent the negativity you've had to experience in your life. When you've gone through despair, grief, and fear, you feel like you've been abandoned. If you're working through a tragic job, a bad marriage, or a difficult family situation, throw yourself into the water and fight your way back to the confident "you" waiting on the raft. Remember, when it becomes easy for the frightened "you" to merge with the confident "you," this doesn't mean that you have "arrived." You'll still experience grief, suffering, and negativity many times in your life; and you'll be thrown back into the water with yourself. Use this meditation and make sure that you always merge with your confident self. In other words, make the cold, frightened self disappear so that only the beautiful, shining, smiling self remains. Sylvia has personally recorded a variety of meditations that will inspire you, help you relax, and allow you to see the divine nature that exists within you at all times. The most recent include: “Angels & Guides Healing Meditations” and “Meditations for Entering the Temples on the Other Side”. You can also read some of Sylvia's favorite meditations in her book, “Meditations”.

It’s that time again; another year has come and gone, and a new one is upon us. Regardless of what is happening in the economy, or what you might see on the News, let us remember that it is all a test of our faith, to gain experience and grow spiritually. Without hard times, we would never be able to recognize and appreciate the good times. It’s true that you don’t need to wait for the start of a new year to make changes in your life. You can do this at any point throughout the year. Each day you wake up is a chance for a new beginning. But people like to talk about New Year’s Resolutions, and tend to make them with hopes of changing something about themselves. It’s a great concept, but the fact is that people tend to make resolutions that are just too hard to keep. Our tendency is to take something to the extreme. For example, you might say, “I will exercise daily” or “I’m giving up sugar for good”. We set ourselves up for failure! By making statements that are almost impossible to follow, we end up punishing ourselves for not following through. Remember: everything in moderation. It’s ok to take a day for yourself once in a while or enjoy a special treat. These are the simple things in life that will bring a smile to your face and make it a little easier to take on another day. We asked Sylvia what she thinks of New Year’s Resolutions and whether she was making any for 2010. “No, you don’t keep them and then you feel guilty. Just ask that God’s love enlightens you!” Noble words. However, we know that some of you will still feel the need to make some resolutions this year and we hope you exchange some of your more extreme ones with our more attainable suggestions below: Be the kind of friend or family member that you would appreciate having. Take the time to express your concern and really understand what others are saying. When you ask a question, look them in the eye and listen to their answer. No one likes talking to someone while their attention is directed somewhere else. Put down your cell phone, computer, newspaper, or whatever…and give your attention to something more meaningful. Give yourself the gift of time. You are constantly taking care of things for family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. Who is WIN A FREE READING WITH SYLVIA and SAVE $150 on a Reading with Chris!

Schedule time for a hobby or activity you enjoy; reading, praying, meditating, a movie- anything! If your physical and mental well-being are in tune, you will be able to continue giving to others. Do something outside of your comfort zone. We all tend to stick with things we know. Familiar things make us feel cozy and safe. But aren’t we here to learn and experience new things? It’s ok to have a preference for something, as long as we put in an effort to try something new. You don’t have to go skydiving or bungee jumping. Merely engage in a project or task that you have never had to handle before. Learn a few phrases in a different language and say them to someone who is fluent. Order something different when you go to your favorite restaurant. Befriend the elderly or someone from a different culture than your own. You just don’t want to get caught in too much of a routine or it will stunt your learning process. Cont’d on page 13 Hypnosis Training Classes Now Available!

Now, all of you can scream and argue about this, but it’s absolutely true. This is the endurance sign. If you notice, in any group there’s always a Capricorn acting as a leaning post, holding everybody together. Capricorns are great humanitarians. They will tell you that if the world was how they wanted it to be, everybody would be better off, because everything would be systematized. They’re sweet and easy to get along with, they really are. They’re not vindictive, and I think they have the most wonderful laugh in the world. Capricorns love nothing more than poking fun at themselves. They are the best sports of the zodiac. Everyone should have a Capricorn as a pet. Capricorns will start reading something and become obsessive about it. Not only that, but they are in love with words. What’s also marvelous about Capricorns is that they have a tremendous resiliency in health. They can break everything in their body, and two days later, they’re up running around, but they’re also very paranoid about their health. They are usually very well charted, except for a few paradoxes, such as buying crazy things and a few health kicks. But usually, you can chart Capricorns right down the line because they follow a set pattern. Ruling Planet: Saturn Parallel Sign: Cancer Element/Characteristic: Earth/Practical Famous Capricorns: Denzel Washington (12/28), Mary Tyler Moore (12/29), John Denver (12/31), Cuba Gooding Jr. (1/2), Diane Keaton (1/5), Joan of Arc (1/6), Nicolas Cage (1/7), David Bowie (1/8), Elvis Presley (1/8), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1/15). Traits: Aquarians are natural born teachers, and they are also tremendously magnanimous. Like Libras, they can love many people collectively, yet they have a very hard time with oneon-one relationships. They are the ones who love humanity en masse. Aquarians prefer to be with more than one person. They will say, "Let's go see so and so." They play much better to a crowd. They'll play to just one, but that gets very tiring for them because they're actually "on" so much of the time that it's like they are performing. They are the natural performers of the zodiac. Aquarians are very difficult to figure out. They have a tremendous loyalty factor, but sometimes you don't know where it is, because they can switch their allegiance so fast to the other side. People are often very confused by Aquarians and want to ask them, "Are you mad at me?" You never know exactly how they feel about certain things because they'll get a very stern face. A lot of times, they're very preoccupied with something, and don't mean to ignore you, but it makes you want to say, "Is it something I did?" They won't understand what you're talking about! This is a very complicated sign, very complicated. Anybody who has Aquarian friends or acquaintances will find them highly complex. But they're very endearing. They have a tremendous love of animals and hate injustice. They are very romantic and ingenious. Ruling Planet: Uranus Parallel Sign: Leo Element/Characteristic: Air/Mental Famous Aquarians: Ellen Degeneres (1/26), Paul Newman (1/26), Sarah McLachlan (1/28), Oprah Winfrey (1/29), Justin Timberlake (1/31), Farrah Fawcett (2/2), Bob Marley (2/6), Jennifer Aniston (2/11), John Travolta (2/18). Astrology Through A Psychic's Eyes Although she does not bill herself as a professional astrologer, psychic Sylvia Browne has some strong opinions on how astrology plays into life on earth (as well as the afterlife). "I promise you that you will not read any of this information in any other astrology book," writes Browne. "This work represents my personal observations from 30 years as a professional psychic." Instead of specific predictions, this compact book offers general astrology tips. My Life With Sylvia Browne Chris tells of growing up in an uncommon household with a psychic for a mom, with spirit guides, psychic readings, and more. He showed his own psychic abilities at the early age of three, and has gone on to be a highly respected clairvoyant in his own right. Although he says “the psychic road is wondrous," he also says it is hard and demanding. “The gift owns you, but it is a gift from God.” You can purchase these books as well as other titles at SylviaBrowne.com.

We encourage you to learn more about the customs and traditions of the East, as they are both fascinating and enlightening. Did you know that the Chinese New Year is most closely related to how we celebrate Christmas in the West? In addition to parades featuring festive music, dancing, and fireworks, it marks a time of year where loved ones gather to exchange gifts and feast on favorite foods. The New Year marks a time for new beginnings and a chance to rejoice in being alive to experience another year. Learning more about the Chinese Zodiac Signs is easy! All you need is your year of birth, or your loved one's year of birth, and find it in the chart below. Take note that each sign goes by a 12 year cycle, representing a cyclical concept of time rather than a linear concept of time. The Chinese Zodiac is based on the cycles of the moon, as opposed to the solar calendar we use in the West. c a k i g e Tiger: 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010 Traits: Tigers are sensitive and cautious when they need to be.

Sylvia said she loved Jay and his entire staff, particularly Bryan, who hosts "Backstage With Bryan", a video-blog that shows behind the scene footage and guest interviews. As part of a promotion for the movie Paranormal Activity, stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat had to earn the right to plug their movie. What better way to earn your plug than surprise Jay with none other than Paranormal Pioneer Sylvia Browne! Sylvia gave a brief psychic reading for Jay, warning him of the rich foods he eats. She also informed him that his next exotic car purchase will be a Bugatti and that his show will go "on and on and on, until we're just all half dead." To which Jay replied, "So that could be the end of the week!" Another exciting thing that happened was that while Sylvia was getting her hair made up for the show, the hairdresser at Jay's studio explained that he had lost an envelope containing $3,000 dollars in his own house. Apparently, he had hidden it and could not remember where he put it. He asked Sylvia where it could be and immediately she told him that it was in a red book. When he got home, he went to the one red book he had in his collection, and the envelope was right next to the red book! Sylvia's segment on The Jay Leno Show and her interview with Bryan can be found by going to http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/backstage-with-bryan/psychic-sylvia-browne-astounds-usbackstage/ The Spirit Guides Speak On Racial Prejudice Sylvia shares wisdom to help you on your daily path toward spirituality from her beloved spirit guides Francine and Raheim. Francine: Please notice that most of what you think of as "primitive" cultures were the most advanced spiritually- the Aztecs, Native Americans, Africans, and certain aspects of the Viking and early Celtic cultures. I'm saying this solely because it's absolutely true. Primitive is simplistic, close to God, shamanistic. Aborigines, of course, have kept their culture, their dream-times, medicine men, and magic. They still know how to walk with God. We find that only in your culture, primarily on the North American continent, does this kind of strangeness occur, where people have such a division of color. We've never been able to understand that at all. It is ridiculous. You will find that the more spiritual you become, the more primitive your soul becomes again. It loses those outer layers of the superficial culture, and goes back to the earth, the ground, the leaves, the herbs, the holistic. Raheim: Racial prejudice is the handmaiden of souldark entities. Until we form a brotherhood, loving each other for who we are, there will never be peace in the world. We must cross those racial barriers and fight against the darkness that preaches, "We must keep our race pure; we must keep our species pure." The heart knows who it wants to love. What your message should be is that you accept all races into your heart- and you can’t say, “I believe that other races are good, but I don’t want my family to have anything to do with them.” That’s prejudicial. You’re now putting conditions on love. When the world understands this, then the brutality stops. What is so ironic is that everyone has been every race and creed in past lifetimes. Do you think that because you’re now a certain race, you haven’t been black or yellow or red before? Of course you have. This excerpt was taken from Sylvia's book "The Nature of Good and Evil". It is Book 3 in the Journey of the Soul Series, published by Hay House. SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 12 Dream Catcher Sylvia’s Interpretations Of Your Dreams Q. Throughout my life, I have had this recurring dream that I am being operated on in the back of a grungy clothing factory. It appears to be from the 1940s. Any insight? Yes, it was an abortion. But ask the Holy Spirit to take it away. There is no karma to this. Q. I recognize someone in my dreams that I know in this lifetime but he looks completely different. I’m adamant that it’s him even though he is in a different body. Could that have been what he looked like in a past life? Soul recognizes soul in any form. Yes, it was a past life in Spain. He was your brother. Q. When I was 19, a woman I had never seen before came to me in a dream. After having it for three nights in a row, I described it to a co-worker and shockingly she took me to a place that was the exact setting of my dream. I have never seen the woman in my dream since visiting this place. Who was she? Your spirit guide, Kendra. Q. What does it mean when you dream of a loved one who has passed and your girlfriend, who is still alive, is standing behind him? The person who died came to see you and your girlfriend, in an astral state, brought him. Q. I work hard and take care of my family, so I don’t want to come off as lazy. But I look forward to going to sleep at night because I dream so vividly. Do you know why? Because your life is somewhat boring so your dreams are an outlet. But remember you have to live here now. Q. My deceased father came to me in a dream recently but the only thing he said was that he was always connected to my ex-husband. Why is this the message I received when I have been divorced for several years? He was once his brother in a past life, but they never got along.

You don’t have to have a lot of money, or any money for that matter, to bring a smile to someone’s face. Clean out your old closets and drawers and give things away that you haven’t used in years. No, you will not need them later. If you needed them, they wouldn’t be covered in a twoinch layer of dust! How much do we really need? Remember that a smile, compliment, or respect toward others doesn’t cost a thing. Make an effort to boost someone’s self confidence, even if it is someone that you don’t know. A compliment is often more meaningful if it comes from a stranger. Be comfortable in your own skin. None of us are perfect. We have all wished that we could change something about the way we look. But one thing that age has given us is the knowledge that inner beauty is far more important than outer beauty. Who cares what other people think? If you are truly making an effort to take care of yourself, and your intentions are pure, then be happy with yourself. You are a part of God. You were made in the image of God. When you look in the mirror, remind yourself that you would never judge God the way you sometimes judge yourself. Prioritize and simplify. Aren’t you tired of being pulled in a hundred different directions? Now is the perfect time to take an inventory of things going on in your life. What sort of things do you want to focus on this year? What is currently going on that will detract from those things? Get yourself organized and make a list. From there, you will be able to do some serious editing. Whether you are adding or erasing, it’s amazing how much clearer things become when you write them down. Spiritual Spotlight - Vera Espana...Cont’d from page 6 Q. What is your biggest fear? Do you think you will be able to overcome it through your line of work? My biggest fear was getting lost. I literally did not drive out of my hometown of Tracy, CA. Campbell is about 64 miles from Tracy, so I had a dilemma! I found out from Francine, Sylvia’s Spirit Guide, that I had died in a desert. I led a sheltered life and craved adventure so I decided to leave our compound in the middle of the night. I apparently packed light not realizing how far I had to travel and died of exposure. When I got lost in this life, I actually felt like I was going to die (serious panic attack) and could picture the buzzards circling. Really, I could! By attending Sylvia’s hypnosis classes, trance sessions, and learning the philosophy, I was able to understand the fear and release that negative cell memory to the extent that I am able to drive back and forth to the Campbell office. It would have been great to have a GPS system back then, but it’s empowering to conquer one’s fears and phobia’s utilizing Sylvia’s spiritual tools and your own inner strength. One of the things I really love and admire about Sylvia is that she not only helps you, but also teaches you how to help yourself. Q. Name your top 3 favorite Sylvia Browne books and briefly explain why. Past Lives Future Healing - For obvious reasons this is one of my favorites! I love the healing that past life regressions offers. This book is a must read in our Sylvia Browne Hypnosis Training Certification class. Psychic Healing - Everything you want to know about healing and cell memory using Sylvia Browne's techniques and spiritual tools. SBHTC uses the information in this book in our Hypnosis Training as well. Accepting the Psychic Torch - I love, love, love this book! Sylvia shares memories of and the special bond between her and her precious grandmother, Ada Coil. When you read this book, you feel as if you are in the room as Ada teaches Sylvia the ways of a spiritual teacher/psychic/ healer. The wisdom and love from letters Ada wrote to Sylvia are priceless! Q. Describe Sylvia using three adjectives. Gifted - Courageous - Powerful - Funny - Magnificent - Beautiful Confident - Dynamic - Loyal (sorry couldn't keep it to three!) Vera is a Cardinal with Novus Spiritus and a Director/Certified Hypnotist for the Sylvia Browne Hypnosis Training Center (SBHTC). “It does not matter if you believe in God, because God believes in you.” ~ Sylvia Longtime Pals Sylvia Browne & Montel Williams Are Together Again! There are certain things that just go together in this world: milk and cookies; X‘s and O‘s; and yin and yang to name a few. So it comes as no surprise that Sylvia and Montel’s “Up Close & Personal” tour, which kicked off its first round of shows in December, was a tremendous success! Above: Sylvia and Montel During a “Meet & Greet” - Salt Lake City, UT 12/5/09 SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 13 Reminiscent of “Sylvia Browne Wednesdays” that we all came to know and love on The Montel Williams Show, Sylvia and Montel rocked the house with their inspirational teachings, sharp wit, and sound advice. Each show consisted of Sylvia and Montel individually taking the stage and lecturing on the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle, both spiritually and physically. Audiences particularly enjoyed seeing them on stage together, talking about anything from current events to challenges that we all face at one point or another in our lifetime. Motivational and empowering, the dynamic duo interacted with audience members by taking questions and encouraging audience participation. When asked about her reunion with Montel, Sylvia replied, “It was wonderful…like old times. Everyone said it was electrifying.” Their tour will continue in 2010. If they are coming to a city near you, reserve your tickets early. You will not want to miss the opportunity to see them live! 12/30/2009 7:40:27 AM 14 Te n e t s O f N o v u s S p i r i t u s I - The way of all peace is to scale the mountain of self. Loving others makes the climb down easier. We see all things darkly until love lights the lamp of the soul. II - Whatever thou lovest, lovest thou. III - Do not give unto God any human pettiness such as vengeance, wrath, or hate. Negativity is man's alone. IV - Create your own heaven, not a hell. You are a creator made from God. V - Turn thy power outward, not inward, for therein shines the Light and the Way. VI - In faith be like the wind chimes, hold steady until faith, like the wind, moves you to joy. VII - Know that each life is a path winding towards perfection. It is the step after step that is hard, not the whole of the journey. VIII - Be simple. Allow no man to judge you, not even yourself, for you cannot judge God. IX - You are a light in a lonely, dark desert that enlightens many. X - Let no one convince you that you are less than a God. Do not let fear imprison your spiritual growth. XI - Do not allow the unfounded belief in demons to block your communion with God. XII - The body is a living temple unto God, wherein we worship the spark of the Divine. XIII - God does not create the adversities in life. By your own choice they exist to aid in your perfection. XIV - Karma is nothing more than honing the wheel of evolvement. It is not retribution, but merely a balancing of experiences. XV - God allows each person the opportunity for perfection, whether you need one life or a hundred lives to reach your level of perfection. XVI - Devote your life, your soul, your very existence to the service of God. For only there will you find meaning in life. XVII - War is profane, defense is compulsory. XVIII - Death is the act of returning Home, it should be done with grace and dignity. You may preserve that dignity by refusing prolonged use of artificial life support systems. Let God's will be done. XIX - We believe in a Mother God, who is the co-creator to our allloving Father God. XX - We believe that Our Lord was crucified but did not die on the cross and went on to live out His life in France with his mother and Mary Magdalene, his wife. XXI - We, the Gnostics, kept this knowledge hidden that Christ's lineage existed for many years and the truth, long-buried is open to research. XXII - We absolutely reject the Book of Revelations and the Apocalypse. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the beliefs of The Church of Novus Spiritus, the Gnostic Christian church founded by Sylvia Browne. How many resonate within you? Do some of their beliefs compliment what you have always known in your heart to be true? As Sylvia has always suggested, "Take what you want and leave the rest behind."

SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 14 12/30/2009 7:40:27 AM Dear Sylvia Capricorn: December 22 January 19 Q. Traveling through tunnels makes me extremely nervous and causes a “crippling” effect, where I feel so much anxiety that I can’t handle it. Is this caused from a past life experience? Yes, a life in Turkey when a cave collapsed on you. Ask God to remove it. Q. You have talked about Michael Jackson being a Mystical Traveler and said that he had a concert on The Other Side. Wouldn’t this imply that he was innocent in the molestation accusations? Of course he was innocent. He didn't have any molestation with kids. He was like a kid himself. Q. I’ve heard people identify themselves as a “sensitive”. What exactly does this mean and does it differ from being a psychic or an intuitive? A sensitive is just what it implies, someone who is sensitive to their environment. But unlike psychics, they can’t identify specifics. Q. My friends and I have noticed a significant increase in thyroid conditions within the past few years. Do you think it’s being caused by chemicals in processed food or other environmental factors? No, we don’t have an increase in thyroid conditions. We have always had it, but we weren’t sophisticated enough to check it as effectively. Now we are, and it is a major glandular problem. Q. Sadly, I have had numerous miscarriages and tubal pregnancies. What kinds of lessons are there to be learned by this and is it also a lesson for the soul of the baby? No, it’s your lesson alone. I had 4 miscarriages before my oldest son was born and 3 before my youngest son, Chris. It was my trial to gain more spirituality. The soul of the miscarried embryo doesn’t even enter. Q. While working with so many people, have you noticed certain life themes that are more prevalent than others? If so, which ones are the most and the least common? Humanitarian and Rescuer seem to be the most prevalent themes. That shows a growth in spirituality. Q. I have been curious about this for a long time now. How is it possible to have free will when everything is predetermined in our charts? Would it still be considered free will if we are merely following what we’re intended to do? Yes, we think it’s free will here, but because we chose our chart on the Other Side, the true free will operated there. Then you came here to SBNewsletterTemplate.indd 15 Aquarius: January 20 - February 18 Earth to follow that chart. Q. I know nutrition is important, but do you think people go overboard counting calories nowadays? I grew up on bread, butter, and whole milk and I’m fine! Some do go overboard, but you should stay off those things and get on a protein regimen. You might be fine now, but not in the long run. Q. Ever since my mother died, I have started feeling what others feel-even to the extent of physical illnesses. Could my mother have left me with a gift? Yes, but I think you always had it. After your mother left, you opened up more. Q. Do Glucosamine and Chondroitin really restore cartilage in our joints? Or is it best to wait until stem cell injections are made available? These are alright, but personally I feel that two capsules of Calcium and Vitamin D at night is just as effective. Q& A Q. I believe in the power of prayer. But if everything has already been charted before we come to Earth, how does prayer really make a difference? What is supposed to happen will happen anyway, right? Yes, but prayer lifts your spirit to God and even though your chart is written, it takes the “edge” off of it. Prayer 15 Q. I want to know more about the Bible but it’s so confusing to me. Is there a certain version that you recommend? Yes, I recommend the Bible according to Lamsa. You can get it through Harper Collins. Q. I know in healing yourself and others, it’s best to shine your light outward. Do you have any other “prescriptions” to heal a broken heart and move on after a particularly hard break up? I had two break-ups that were really hard. You have to just pray and know that you are learning. Just get up and do what you normally do and love will find you mid-year. Q. While praying and meditating, I often see hieroglyphics, a sarcophagus, and a queen sitting on a throne. Could this be from a past life or am I dreaming? Yes, it is from a past life during Ramses III period. You lived a life as an attendant to the queen. Q. What do you think will be the outcome of my daughter and granddaughter’s 9 year struggle with my granddaughter’s “father”? Your granddaughter’s father will eventually go away, but don’t talk to him. Have a lawyer help you with the harassment. In 6 months, he gets tired and goes on to someone else.
