By Jon Roe and Dory Dzinski Thank you to MARLENE BOEHM, who is moving to smaller quarters and gave us her entire collection of Door Openers. BUSINESS The Door Opener has stepped out into a new and exciting venture. We are now producing videos for our advertisers, practitioners, readers, etc. We have just launched our own Door Opener YouTube Channel and already have several videos up there. These videos are also connected to the folks' individual listings in the 2010 Holistic Health Practitioner Directory. We are offering the same services for our upcoming Spiritual Guidance Directory participants. Anyone who is interested in having a video produced will have their video connected to The Door Opener in some way, loaded onto YouTube, and can use their video on their own website or in any way they'd like. Our intent is to continue to increase the amount of offerings on our YouTube channel. Please visit it at www.YouTube.com/DoorOpenerMagazine. Current videos are those of MARIAN VITALI, CELESTE MATTINGLY, DEBRA FRANKLIN, ANNE BUCHALSKI, KAREN HOLLIS, and DORY DZINSKI. We will be connecting the videos of REBECCA LOCICERO speaking about her book (see Publications section below) very soon as well. The Beyond Center in Vernon is a new center for community awareness and spiritual enlightenment. It includes the private offices of Psychic Mediums REBECCA ANNE LOCICERO and JANINE BARYZA-LY. In addition, there is a community Energy Healing room available to practitioners at a low hourly rate. The Center Room is a large space where Rebecca and Janine will host a number of mediumship and intuitive classes as well as their bi-monthly trademarked presentation Messages from Heaven where spiritual contact with your loved ones and divine messages from Heaven are shared with those attending. There are opportunities for anyone to bring their own classes or presentation to this space. The current goal is to offer events for free, donation or low cost as society grasps for spiritual direction in this economy. The center is located at 281 Hartford Turnpike, Suite G-5 (basement level) in Vernon. (www.TheBeyondCenter.com) LIBBE CLARKE's Purple Sky Medicine Walk has come to the end of the road after 14 years.

ROSE's novel, The Reincarnationist, is now airing on the Fox TV series Past Lives. How would your life be different if you had access to a tool - a process even - that revealed your past lives? What price would you pay for this power and how would you use it? In the novel, these questions burn in the back of your mind even as you enjoy the intelligent, riveting story. The plot is a psychological (or psychic) joy ride for its originality, suspense, and unforgettable ending. Within the narrative, Rose weaves a variety of scientific, spiritual, and philosophical paradigms that attempt to explain past life memories. For details visit www.fox.com/programming/shows/?sh=pastlife; www.reincarnationist.org. REBECCA ANNE LOCICERO published her first book Living with Messages from Heaven in October. The book's intention is to enlighten the reader while awakening the soul's connection to the beyond. Communication is sent to us from guides, angels, loved ones in pure soul, and from God through the Holy Spirit. We can also receive this through a Psychic Medium. Today's Psychic Mediums connect to the same gifts and abilities that we associate with the prophets and seers of old. This book explains what kind of a "job" that is, what a Psychic Medium can do for you, and how to find someone who is ethically and divinely connected. You can read the Table of Contents and Introduction at www.RebeccaAnne.org. JUNE HYJEK, meditation group leader at Breathe... more in Tolland, released a meditation CD titled Moving Into Grace. The meditations on the CD guide you through imagery of gentle movement to help you experience freedom in your body and the release of stress and pain. The CD has three meditations - a short Breathing meditation that can be used on its own as a quickie stress buster, or as a prep for either of the next two meditations. The second one is about 20 minutes and is called Moving Into Balance and Center. The third and title meditation is about 35 minutes. The meditations use the imagery of movement to help you find center and peace. Even if you've never meditated before, you will find this easy to follow and relax to. Accompanied by inspiring music, June's CD will bring you to a place of center, balance, peace - and Grace. The cost is $16. Contact June at (860) 985-9850, meridian.wellness@earthlink.net or visit www.meridianwellness.com. For a nice review of the CD see tinyurl.com/ygfc4ex.
