CELEBRATING SPRING 2008



Spring Equinox
Place on the medicine wheel:
East

In the physical realm of life, the coming of spring is full of promises as mother nature and all of our relations start to bring forth new birth after a long winter rest. The returning of the sun also reminds us of the perfect balance between the male (the sun) and female (the earth) energies that brings new life. East is the portal of the 4 cycles of the wheel and is also called the place of enlightenment.

In the spiritual realm, Raphael, the Father of the Air, door the the east, is celebrated with the spring equinox. The archangel Raphael is the Heavenly Father of the divine air and the breath of the life force. He is the healer which through the power of love renew our health and bring celestial order in our lives.


This beautiful purple light that I photographed “by accident” stands exactly in front of our prayer house covered by snow during the winter months in Mt. Shasta. I wanted to share that light with you. -Josiane

Our East prayer is:

"Spirit of the East place of the rising sun that brings new life to the land,
help us to listen to the voice of nature and see the splendor of God
in all creatures, trees, rivers and skies.
Give us the wisdom to open our minds to new things,
and to let go of old patterns that do not serve us or the whole any longer.
Bless us with clarity and great passion and lead us to correct
the mistakes that have been made in the past,
so we can teach the new generations, to recognize, respect, love
and honor the sacredness of all lives.”

-By Josiane Antonette



Dear Friends,

The winter on the mountain has been long and very hard this year and thanks to the heavy snowfall we will have abundant water and there will be plenty for all. As many of you know, I had to take a long break due to great challenges that took me by surprise and brought important changes in my life. In the shamanic tradition it is understood that the dark cycles of life are necessary for men’s evolutionary advancement and act as a womb to birth new and more advanced cycles during our time on earth and beyond. Giving birth to ourselves throughout the dark cycles of life can be a real challenge but I know that with compassion for oneself and others, each step that we take makes us closer to the likeness of the divine. Life can change at any time but the love we share with one another will never change; it will survive any challenges and make our walk on this beautiful planet a worthwhile journey . It will be the stepping stone that will carry us to our next level, and in that I rest in peace. I am not going to say that I have enjoyed this trying and humbling period of my life but it has been a great catalyst for important lessons and I bless each one of them without reservation and hope that with time I will acquire more wisdom about the ways of life.

Spring is at our doorstep, and I know that even though the mountain ground is still covered with a white coat, life is waiting to be awaken by the outpouring of light that this season brings forth. I am looking forward to a new start in my life and in my work and my heart is full of gratitude for all of you dear friends who prayed and inquired about my wellbeing, you make my life worthwhile. Hope to see you at one of the shows that I will attend or at one of the workshops I am planning to offer during the summer and fall. Many blessings to all of you

Services

(Please call for Josiane's office hours in Davis, California)

Spiritual Consultations (in person or by phone)

After life communication
Travelling to the world of spirit has been an expertise of mine since childhood, travelling to the world of
the dead my specialty. After life communication will help you to resolve unfinished business and allow you to reclaim your right to live fully while helping the departed spirit go on with its own journey. I also specialize in working with those who have died a violent death ( suicide, accident, murder) and are still earthbound to help them find their way home.

Spiritual Healing Sessions
Hands on energy balancing for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness.

Distance Healing

Transmission of healing energies without the person present.

Awakening session (soul healing)
During the course of a session, my responsibility to my client is to travel for him or her to the
world of spirit to retrieve the lost part of their soul. After the first session clients will feel
clearer and able to regain a sense of self control and power.

Rites of passage/Death
(preparation for Burial)
The body of the newly dead is not debris or remnants, nor is the person entirely gone. They are
rather adjusting to a new reality. It is wise and recommended to treat the newly dead
tenderly, carefully, and with honor. I offer myself to be of service by assisting you to come to closure with the death
of your loved one, by honoring the deceased with appropriate preparation for burial.

Death and Dying Support
A program assisting the terminally ill and comatose patient, their loved ones and caretakers suffering from grief and loss.
