Hello Everyone,

The weather here in Australia really does go from one extreme to the other – last month we were hit by devastating bushfires and now it’s all rain and tornado’s and we aren’t supposed to get tornado’s in Australia!  Mind you, after the heat and those bushfires the rain is a welcome relief, I was driving through one of the areas hit by fire the other week and it is amazing to see the green shoots coming through already – in nature a fire isn’t the end, it is merely the beginning and it is needed for the bush to regenerate, it’s like in our lives, sometimes we have to go through something traumatic which then makes us shed everything and everyone that no longer holds a purpose so that we can come back like new. A shedding of the old is sometimes needed to allow the real you to shine through.

I didn’t win in the small business awards but again, thank you to everyone that voted for me and all the words of support that you gave.

I had the most amazing experience this month, a while ago a lovely lady came to see me, her son was stillborn and during her reading he showed me his little sister that he was sending to her – well, low and behold she has arrived in this world and I got to meet her and have a cuddle!  I said to her, “I met you before you were even conceived” and she looked exactly as I was shown.  Absolutely amazing!!

Well, who can believe that Christmas is just around the corner, again!  If you are trying to think of a gift for the person that has everything or maybe something just a little bit different here are some suggestions:-

• A ½ hour gift voucher for a clairvoyant reading – with me of course!  This may be used for any of the types of readings I offer, email, telephone (if within Australia) or in person so it doesn’t matter where they live they are still able to use it.  They come with an expiry time of three months.
• How about someone’s birth astrology chart?  Michelle who does the astrology for this newsletter also offers gift vouchers and a full natal chart reading is $60 for the hour.
• Michelle also offers baby readings as well – a lovely gift for the new mum and dad on the special arrival – the chart does a personality assessment (which I think every parent would appreciate!) and would make a different kind of present.  If you would like to contact Michelle her details are down this newsletter with the astrology report.
• Michelle’s husband David is the most amazing artist, he draws animals so for the pet lover this would be ideal – he also draws homes his website is: www.houseportraits.com.au

With Christmas just around the corner – for those in the Northern Hemisphere if following pagan traditions will be celebrating Yule while those of us in the Southern Hemisphere will be celebrating Litha – the Summer solstice on 22nd December.  this is a time for reflection, bringing together your strengths and clearing away negative thoughts and energies – be joyful and enjoy life.

It’s Never too Late:

To listen to birds, take time out from your busy day and schedule and stop and listen to the birds chattering in the trees.  Take the time to stop and watch them, how they survive, with their chatter they just sound so happy have a natter while eating their food it’s all so very social!  The talent that they have when they build a nest is absolutely amazing – a bird’s chatter will always life the spirits.

A message from: – Egyptian Goddess Bast

You all need to be independent but don’t draw away from others, listen to their advice and weigh things up and then you need to make the decisions from yourself.  Get more balance in your life, solitude along with social times – enjoy the outdoors and breathe deeply of the clean air, don’t be afraid to have fun, be playful enjoy a good laugh, be loyal but don’t allow yourself to be used.

Feng Shui – Basics

I thought I would bring to my newsletters some little bits and pieces of Feng Shui, which is pronounced Foong Schway.

Each month we have been touching on the Celestial Cures, which are just ways to adjust the qi life energy flowing through your home and garden.

This month it’s the Fourth Celestial Cure – Harmonious Sound is what makes the fourth celestial cure – so think wind chimes, tinkling bells, birdsong, running water (like a fountain) even the sounds of gentle raindrops falling on the roof, humming insects (bees collecting pollen) and gentle music – so think about what you could add or change in your home to create a harmonious sound.

If you’re wondering which is the best kind of wind chime to buy – some experts prefer a windchime with a hollow rod to allow the energy to flow through, but I feel that if it is one that you are attracted to then get it because you’re energy is in line with it.

If you want to encourage local native birds – put a bird feeder out with their particular birdseed to hear them chattering away.

Courses/Workshops

Developing your intuition and clairvoyance one day workshop – Saturday, 1st March 2014 this workshop has a limit of 6 people and needs to be paid for prior to attendance to confirm your spot – all information on the workshop is on my website www.katrina-jane.com

If you would like me to bring my workshop to your area – please email me at Katrina@katrina-jane.com

Services that I offer

PSYCHIC PARTIES – I do party groups where everyone has as 15 minute reading – this is lots of fun for baby showers, birthdays, hens nights etc and it’s just $25 per reading.  These readings aren’t burnt to disc because there are usually too many people and it just takes up too much time, but I am able to take notes or the person having the reading can take them if they wish. It obviously depends on where you live – if you live about an hour from Newcastle CBD, I would need a minimum of 10 people having 15 minute readings ($20 each) if you want to have ½ hour readings ($50 each) then a minimum of 4 people would be appreciated.  At this stage I don’t charge to travel to the party, I am literally only charging for the readings.

FUNDRAISING – I’ve also done a few fundraisers, again which I am happy to do to help a good cause – I usually give a percentage of my takings for the day to help raise funds.

GROUP OF FRIENDS – If you don’t want to go the whole hog with a psychic party but there are four or so friends that would like half hour readings, I will visit you in your home – as long as it’s within a certain radius of Newcastle!  As long as I have a private spot to sit and water to drink, I’m happy!!!

Types of readings:

I offer a few different ways to have a reading, they are all ½ hour and cost $50AU:-

1.            Face to face – where you come into my room here at Newcastle and your reading is recorded and burnt to disc at no extra charge.

2.            Telephone – for those that live in Australia

3.            SKYPE – for those anywhere in the world!

4.            Emailed reading – for those that find it difficult to come in for a reading or line a time up for a phone reading or SKYPE.

5.            Mini reading – one question only.

All readings are just as effective as the other, a face to face reading is no different from a phone reading, I just offer all of the above for your convenience.

Blessed be.

Love and Light Katrina
