Did you know that you are still in the Age of Aquarius. “Back to the Future” is still moving forward with the convergence of religion, spirituality and dreams? How does this shift impact your world and Universal Wisdom? The answer lies behind the veil of consciousness pulled back by guided dreams.
According to different astrologers’ calculations, the Age of Aquarius is approximately 1447 AD to 3597. The shift shaking belief systems to their core has escalated inner-guidance phenomena that defies logic, conventional measurement, and challenges some current religions, but is validated by life-experiences. Some guided messages are simple, “Listen and live or don’t and die.” How attuned are you to this spiritual transition?
Current–day prophetic guided dreams that came true
Dreams as an innate healing and diagnostic tool for a healthy daily life were first respected and used in the ancient societies of Egypt and Greece. Dreaming was considered a supernatural communication or means of divine intervention.
Ancient Greeks constructed temples called Asclepieions, where the sick were cured through divine grace by incubating dreams-a convergence of spirituality and religion. Dream encounters with angels or spirit guides were considered to be of particular significance.
Current books describe the dreaming brain but few, if any, discuss studies on intuitive/dream approaches to the acquisition of knowledge about disease… until now.
Current Guided Dream Case Studies
Extraordinary dreams that guide, heal and change lives are being collected and shared by dreamers and researchers worldwide. In 2013 a project was initiated on dreams that diagnosed breast cancer that is jointly sponsored by Healing Imager, Inc., and Dreams Book, Inc., with IRB approval by the Rhine Research Center. Larry Burk, MD, CEHP, is the Principal Investigator. Dr. Burk’s research was presented at the 2014 IASD (International Association for the Study of Dreams) conference in Berkeley, CA and has been submitted for publication to the 2014 Sept/Oct issue of Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing –
www.explorejournal.com/edboard. The research discusses twenty case studies.
Here are three extraordinary stories by ordinary people about the thinning veil between human consciousness and Divine guidance.
Kahleen O’Keefe-Kanavos was one of Dr. Larry Burk’s research patients. She wrote about her guided healing journey in Surviving Cancerland: Intuitive Aspects of Healing.(Cypress House 2014)
Kathleen’s yearly check-up had consisted of a mammogram, blood test and physical exam. Her doctor told her she was healthy and to go home. That night Kathleen had the first of many recurrent lucid precognitive guided dreams. A spirit guide dressed as a monk stepped through a pop-up window in her dream, much like a pop-up on a computer. Her epic dream stopped as time stood still.
The spirit guide took Kathleen’s hand, placed it on her breast and asked, “Do you feel that?” When Kathleen said yes the guide replied, “That is breast cancer. Return to your doctor tomorrow,” and her epic dream resumed as the guide disappeared. Kathleen’s doctor felt nothing but ordered another mammogram showing that she was healthy. When the spirit guide reappeared in Kathleen’s dream a third time she began to cry and said, “My doctor won’t listen to me.” The guide handed her a white feather and said, “Return to your doctor tomorrow and use this feather as a verbal sword and fence for exploratory surgery. You will win.” Using the feather imagery, she convinced her doctor to do surgery. Pathology reported a primary stage two aggressive tumor in the right breast and a positive lymph node. Three years later, Kathleen was warned in a dream about three cancers in her lifetime by her physician-within named Dr. Jules.
Five years later Kathleen was warned of stage–four recurrence in a dream by spirit guides dressed as doctors who turned into scary circus clowns.
Kathleen understood that the nightmare was a frightening call-to-action. A double mastectomy revealed the third cancer; three crabs—all diagnosed by prophetic dreams. Guided dreams had saved her life.
Join us for part 2 of this series for more case studies, and the benefits of the Age of Aquarius for you.

Your dreams are the doorways to a parallel universe where passed over loved ones, guardian angels and spirit guides can speak with you. These conversations can take place using words or pictures and signs from the language of Universal Symbolism, and your own dream language.
Your personal dream language can be confusing. You may feel much like Alice from Wonderland in Lewis Carroll’s book Through the Looking-Glass’s when she encountered the frightening Jabberwocky in the forest. Alice could not see the forest for the trees and could not completely understand the Jabberwocky for the words. Alice understood enough words to know there was an important message for her in the frightening dreamscape.
Nightmares are always an important message that can lead us out of the dark.
That is often the case in your dream world-your dreamscape. The information can help you find your way out of the deep dark woods of life, but first you must understand the dream language.
That is part of the challenge of finding your way through the Sacred Doors of your Dream World filled with information and guidance for a better and more fulfilled life.
These sacred doors connect you with your innate Spirit-guides. You are born with them. You are their job and they take that job seriously.
When you are in crisis of any kind that includes but is not limited to; health, wealth or relationships, those sacred doors are always open. The only way they can close is if you choose to shut them.
If you feel your doors are not open and therefore you do not receive the information you need to live your life purpose, circumnavigate the torturous waters of an emotional storm, receive guidance on a life threatening illness or live your life to the fullest, just ask for the sacred doors to open and you will receive.
Your request will be heard and answered. It is the Universal Law.
Connecting with your Spirit Guides is as easy as one, two, three.
Here are five strategies for doing so.
1.) Set your intention to the Universe, because it is always listening. Tell the Universe that you wish to meet your Spirit guides in your dreams tonight.
2.) Write your intention on a piece of paper and place it beneath your pillow. You are acting out the requested event by taking an abstract idea (meeting your guides) and making it concrete (writing) by putting it on a piece of paper. You are taking an idea from the fourth dimension and bringing it into the third dimension of existence. You are connecting these parallel universes with your written intention.
3.) Now, “sleep on your intention.” Sleeping on it is a more than a play on words. It is the key to opening the Sacred Doors to answers within the dream world. Everyone has access to these Sacred Doors.
4.) In the morning, write down your dream in your dream journal. If you don’t have a dream journal, go to www.SurvivingCancerland.com and download the FREE guidebook in the right-side column. Put the dream journal pages in a note book binder beside your bed. (Replenish the pages when you need more.) Use the free dream journal pages as your own personal dream journal.
5.) Watch for the people, animals and plants in your dream. Underline them and write your feelings about them. What did they say to you? What colors did you see during the dream.
You may have just met some of your guides. Now, watch for the validation during the day that verifies that your dream was guidance. Validation is very personal. You will know immediately when you get it. You will feel like you have just experienced an “Ah-ha” moment.
Meeting your Spirit guides and guardians will be a positive turning point in your life. It will be the beginning of the next phase of your life-purpose-journey toward your destiny. This is a path you will only travel once in this life time, so enjoy every step of it and remember to smell, the flowers, listen to the animals and walk with the guides in your dreams.

Your Life and Purpose Revealed on Living Well Talk Radio Network.
May 21, 2014
Guest: Nancy McKinney
Have you ever had that ‘funny-feeling’ that you were not alone but could see nothing around you?
What if…you were not alone but could not see the entity in your midst because it was on a different frequency or existing simultaneously on a parallel universe? And what if it could see you while you were blind to its presence?
My radio show guest last night on Your Life and Purpose Revealed had an answer.
“Always carry a small camera with you and when you get the feeling that something is there, you know, when your hair on your arm stands up and you get that fight-or-flight feeling but can see nothing, snap a picture. Your instincts will point the camera in the right direction. You will be amazed at what you will pick up on the camera lens that you could not see with your naked eye.”
Nancy McKinney has the unique talent of capturing orbs, UFO’s, and other entities in photographs. She does this with her camera and without the help of any ‘aps’ current available on many smart phone cameras. She uses a small regular camera and always has it ready for use in her purse.
When we are traveling my husband will say, “Come on! We’ve got to go.” But I will know something alive but undetectable to the human eye is watching us. So I’ll snap a picture and there it will be. He knows now that when I am standing still I ‘feel something” and will wait for me to grab the entity on camera.”
When I asked her how she knew where to look or how she knew something was there she answered, “We innately know. We were born with the instinct of knowing when we are being watched.”
So, the next time you get that “tingly feeling all over” take out your nifty little camera and take a shot. You may be amazed at what you catch.
Here are 3 tips to catch the unexpected on your camera:
1.) Always carry your camera with you.
2.) don’t worry about focusing the lens. Just point and shoot.
3.) If you feel like something is watching you, it probably is. Take a picture of it. That will be your validation.

As is our custom, the second half of the show was dedicated to your life and purpose reveled by another means: Live Psychic Readings.
Our callers got informative readings from all 3 psychics.
To listen to the entire show for more fascinating live reading information and conversation Click on the link below:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/living-well-talk-radio/2014/05/21/your-life-purpose-revealed-tarot-runes
Kathleen (Kat) O’Keefe-Kanavos used her unique system of converting caller’s birthdates into playing cards and then into their Personal Tarot card for this lifetime.
Suzanne Strisower used her Runes of the Four Realms to help callers identify their purpose in life.
Our guest psychic, Athena Kolinski unique system of using the 22 Major Arcana Tarot Cards answers personal questions from the callers.
The goal of these readings is to give callers insight into their personality and how to understand and overcome the challenges they face in their daily lives.
The link to the show will give more detail and an in-depth reading to the cards and questions below. Click here.
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/living-well-talk-radio/2014/05/21/your-life-purpose-revealed-tarot-runes
In order to respect the privacy of callers, we only used the first names they gave us and their area code so they may identify themselves in the cards below.
Isn’t it interesting how the questions and concerns of the callers are reflected in their cards.
Rita (area code 562)
DOB= 8/29
Her Playing card is Ten of Hearts.
Birth Tarot Card was Ten Of Cups.
Rita called in regarding her relationship with her husband of 26 years. She is afraid he is signing papers to give all their money to his parents after his death. Her question and concern: “Am I going to get divorced at 65 years of age? This is my nightmare. What do you see for me?”
It is not surprising that Rita has marriage concerns. As a Heart/Cup she concerned with love and happiness. Rita is theContentment Card. Her main goal in life is contentment, especially in relationships.
Vince (310) area code
DOB August 10
Playing Card is Three of Diamonds.
Birth Tarot Card is Three of Pentacles.
Vince called for career advice. “I’m out of work and went for an interview. What do you see in the cards for me?”
As a Pentacle, Vince is concerned with money and wealth.
He is the GAIN in Finances card. And, he is the architect of his own future. He has the capability to manifest his financial security. He must combine his “three” Id, Ego and Super Ego to build his dream job. United he will succeed.
The card synchronicity tonight was Pentacles. Out of 8 reading we had 6 Pentacles. It is very common for cards from the same suite to call in together from different parts of the country or world. It is validation of our connection by the Universal Oneness of existence.
Our lives are reflected in the stars which are a part of our Astrological Sign that is connected to our Personal Tarot Card, all of which will be a constant in this lifetime.

Easter can be difficult to celebrate when you are in or recovering from cancer treatment.
It is hard to fake happy after the loss of a lifestyle, friend or family to this disease. But remember, if you are reading this, YOU are a WINNER. Let’s celebrate! Take the first tiny step with a Love Letter to YOU.
Easter is a time of renewal that also manifests in our lives.
A new day is a new beginning, and can often be a dream-come-true.
When was the last time you dreamed of success?
The egg is the Universal Symbol of the promise of the continuation of life. Each day is progress in this life-time. Yet, it is so easy to ignore all the positive things you have accomplished and focus on what still needs to be done to feel fulfilled.
Fulfillment is a mind-set.
Fulfillment is a state of thinking that manifests itself into a state of being—mind over matter. As human beings, we must be in the moment to see our past accomplishments.
Accomplishments are the result of challenges.
During your most trying moments, what was the “cross you had to bear”? Take a second to remember it. Now, focus on how you have risen above it? Next, imagine being handed an ornamental egg painted in your favorite colors. Lift the top of the egg. Peek inside. See the gift left behind by the challenge. This achievement is proof that you are a winner. That egg with it’s gift inside are a promise for a new day. Time for the next step— thanking your Inner-winner.
Focus on rising above the strife in a Love Letter to Yourself.
Writing can help you be in the moment of triumph by putting abstract emotions into concrete words. You will celebrate with your inner-selves; those incredible aspects of yourself that you may not be aware of, but are always there for you. As you write, they will be reading the love letter through the windows of your soul—your eyes.
By focusing on your accomplishments, your mind is set to create more positive results.
Your thoughts and memories can also bring to light your life-purpose and help you stay on the correct path to your Life Destiny.
Here are 5 steps to write your Easter Love Letter to Yourself:
1.)Remember—You may be holding the pen, but Inner Wisdom is guiding the words. Let them flow.
Although a hand written letter may be more therapeutic, a typed one works well, too. The importance is not in HOW you connect with yourself but THAT you connect with yourself.
An Easter Love Letter to You is a simple letter to all the inner aspects of yourself — Inner Wisdom, Inner Knowing, Spirit, God, or the Higher Power of your choice. Your letter can be addressed to any name that resonates with you.
2.) Start with a phrase of gratitude, Mantra, or Blessing at the top of your letter.
Write a phrase or mantra that has power for you. This is your letter heading.
It can be acknowledgment of your Inner Winner. Acknowledging gratitude is one of your most powerful healing and connecting energies. Your mantra/phrase will reflect that principle. If you do not have a personal phrase of gratitude, borrow one that most resonates with you.
3.) Today’s Date –Dating your letter helps ground you in the moment while you visit the past. The past is a great place to visit. But, don’t live there.
4.) Salutation – Dear, your name, or Inner Winner, etc. Address the letter to whomever feels right to you. Imagine sending a private message or group email to all your best friends. This can be one, many, or all your Inner-people who are responsible for helping you succeed.
5.) The Body of the Letter – Write whatever feels right to you. Let it all out, but try to start and end on a positive note. You may want to start with:
“Thank you for all you have done for me.”
6.) Sign your name. Feel free to use a name you can embrace as the new you rather than your given name. The Love Letter is to you. You’ll get it.
If you need more guidance for your letter, use my example of what your Easter Love Letter might look like and fill in the blanks:
“I am grateful for any opportunity to connect with my Inner-winner.”
April, 9 Day, 2014
Dear Inner Winner,
Thank you for all you have done for me.
I remember when ____________________________________
Then you helped me _________________________________
We worked together by _______________________________
Now, these positive things have happened to manifest the promise of a wonderful future ______
Love,
(sign your name) Super Kat
7.) What to do with your Love Letter. You may either save the letter and read it whenever you need to reconnect with your Inner-winner, or you may perform a ritualistic act of sharing.
If you save it, put it in a place that is easily accessible, like your wallet. Take it out and read it when you need it.
Send it to yourself in a personal email, or post it on a blog where your love and gratitude can be shared with many.
Burning is a ritual act of sharing. It uses fire to cleanse away any residual negativity and allows smoke to carry the message of gratitude to your Higher Power. The ashes left behind will be fertile ground for new positive thoughts and deeds just like the mythical bird the Phoenix.
Your letter will be like the egg from mythical Phoenix.
This mythical bird exemplified in the movie Harry Potter, turns to ashes on dying and is reborn from the same ashes. This ability to rise again from ashes implies immortality, just like the love in your letter.
So, take a minute out of this busy time before the Easter Holiday to reflect on what you have done to leave a positive foot-print on someone’s heart or in the sands-of-time. Find that hidden gift in the form of an egg-of-love in your mind. Write it in a love letter to YOU because you deserve it.
Then watch for answers and validation from your Inner-winner in your dreams.

What do Google+, Spirit Guides & Dreams have in common?
The answer is on my first interview on Google+ posted at the bottom of this article.
Doing a Google+ live show was fun and insightful but required mastering a new learning curve. Learning this new technology is worth your time because it is the new path internet radio is taking. If you are promoting your area of expertise, you may be invited to do a Google+ radio show. Being prepared can help you be successful on many levels.
Host Chris One Feather lead me through the Sacred Dream Doors in my memory that I had no idea existed. He is a master interviewer and wonderful host. And, his co-host Marcella MacArthur has the patience of a saint. She guided me step-by-step through the necessities for a successful Google+ Interview—a platform with which I was unfamiliar.
Riding the new wave of ever-changing technology takes perseverance.
Endeavour to Persevere.
Here are 5 important lessons for a successful interview:
1.) If things don’t go as planned the first time—try and try again. Don’t give up.
2.). Make connections. It is easier to learn a skill from people with the skill.
3.) Keep your sense of humor while learning new technology.
4.) Cutting out the picture of someone’s face from a magazine and taping it beside the camera on your computer will give your eyes a focus point for correct eye contact with your audience.
5.) Speak to the picture as if it were your audience, because on some level it is.
Have you ever watched a Skype interview and it looked like the guest was looking down at the computer the whole time, or their eyes were wandering around the room as if the walls were speaking to them?
That is because they were looking at the host’s face in the bottom corner of the computer. It is natural for our eyes to search for a face to connect with while speaking. You may have also noticed this on Skyped in interviews on the evening news.
Using lesson number five will help alleviate this. And choosing a smiling picture may encourage you to smile on camera as well.
For hosts considering making the switch to Google + , a professional looking interview may require additional lighting and possibly a mounted camera. Here are two tricks that will help with lighting and sound.
1.) Use your phone camera to check lighting.
2.) Use your i-phone ear bud as a microphone to decrease surrounding noise.
Statistics show that video is the blogging and article choice for the future.
Blogs and articles may have a short written introduction and conclusion, but the body of the information source will be video. Many magazines have become multimedia to utilize this new trend.
However, it is important to remember that written information must consist of at least 300 words to attract the attention of search engine spiders. The old rule of an acceptable blog size as 200 words is obsolete. Times are changing.
However, it is reassuring that some written work is required for those of us who are still writers at heart.
Enjoy the show…

“The key to beauty is learning something new and then applying it to your life.”
Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos/author and 3 time cancer survivor
So, you have a hot date for St. Patrick’s Day.
Great! Now, how do you face the overwhelming challenge of applying your old makeup techniques to your new treatment-face while in therapy? The beauty strategies you previously used went down the drain with your hair. And green, as in how you feel after your chemo, may not be your color of choice right now.
Now what?
How do you play up eyes that lack eyelashes for mascara, accentuate the arches of eyebrows which no longer exist, or find that dewy glow your skin lost during your last therapy? How can you accept a date looking like “death warmed over?” or greener than the holiday beer? Well, if you are reading this Death did not land, and green is a healing , magical color, so keep going. Can you look beautiful during treatment? Yes you can!
Here are 7 tried-and-true make-up tips.
They will help you enjoy an unforgettable St. Patty’s Day by rising above the challenge of beauty during therapy and looking down on the bigger picture of life despite treatment. These tips are easy and quick enough to use even after a long day of therapy, or every day during treatment, and beyond.
You may not look exactly the same way you did befor treatment, because you have survivor-glow, a result off the depth of empathy you have acquired through baptism by ffire. This is part of your new outer glow that is shining from within. You look better than ever before. And your glow cannot be bought in a make-up bottle. It is unique to you and comes from survivor confidence. It is your base. Wear it with pride.
Make-up can be a challenge during many therapies, but especially cancer treatment.
No eyelashes or eyebrows to hold beauty products in place can make you want to give up before you start. But as a three time breast cancer survivor, I learned a trick or two about beauty during treatment. These beauty tips will help you resonate with inner light while you continue to heal.
These techniques can be used with any products including organic cosmetics available in most natural and health food stores and marketplaces. Your skin is a leaving breathing organ, and the first line of defense against disease.
Take care of your skin and it will take care of you.
1.) Your face is already dry from medications, long hours in over air-conditioned hospitals, and dehydrating treatment so you may choose to avoid face powder. It has a tendency to settle into cracks and, yes, crevices; the result of skin cell moisture loss.
2.) Use brown eyeliner to define your eyes and a lighter taupe eye shadow, applied with a small brush, to create your eye brows. Large crayon eyeliner pencils are more moisturizing than powder, and easier to handle if your fingers are swollen, numb or tingling from neuropathy, the temporary condition of some chemo-therapies. If power is still your tool of choice, wet the brush with water, dip it into the powder and then apply it to the eye area. It will keep less powder from irritating your eye’s dehydrate mucus membranes, and also “set it”— hold your make-up in place so that it does not travel into your tear ducts or the corners of your eyes.
3.) Keep your cosmetics to a bare minimum and use tons of moisturizer. A drop of liquid make-up mixed with moisturizer creates a beautiful healthy glow. A drop of moisturizer mixed with cream blush, and applied to the apples of your cheeks will make you the apple of his eye. It will give you just the right amount of color to make you look naturally healthy. A fail-safe way to apply blush is to smile and your “apples” will stand up and wave.
4.) Pink stick or gel blush on your cheeks, forehead and chin can give you a sun-kissed radiance no matter what skin tone you have. Use colors that are close to your own natural skin tones.
5.) Sprayed your face with an atomizer of water to set your make-up. Small cans of Evian spray are available in department stores, or make your own “spritzer” by filling a spray bottle with purified water. Use it throughout the day to feel refreshed and to maintain that youth-dew-splendor.
6.) Lipstick or clear gloss finishes a healthy look, and moisturizes your lips. There are many long lasting lipsticks on the market from which to choose. Once applied, you won’t need a touch-up, even after eating. That little bit of color on your face can make such a difference.
7.) There is no make-up that can brighten your face like a smile. Beauty is only skin deep but your smile comes from the soul. Practice smiling in the mirror for ‘muscle memory’ and used it whenever you feel like a wet noodle. It will change more than your looks. It will change the vibration around you by pulling it into a higher healing frequency. Higher vibrational frequencies attract higher vibrations. So vibrate away and draw the best to you.
Don’t be surprised if your laughter attracts attention. A nurse may bring someone just starting their journey of healing over to you with the words, “Look at her, she’s glowing. See, it’s not so bad.” Your luminosity is a beacon of light to others still searching in the darkness of crisis. Share your survivor tips with them. Increase your healing light by giving it away. This will make you even more beautiful—from the inside out. It is also a great way to do two powerful things at once; pay it forward to those still in need, and give back to the universe. And, it is a way to acquire the luck of the Irish.
Sharing joy is universally empowering. The universe is always aware.
Laughter and smiles go together like peanut and butter, and both are contagious. They are something you want to catch and give to patients who have a lowered resistance during treatment. Laughter raises all vibrational levels within ear-shot, and gives you an inner-radiance that shines through to the world with the message, “I’m still here. I’m more than a survivor. I’m a Thriver!” So, give someone a smile, and laugh ‘till it heals with confidence, while you are on your Saint Patrick’s Day date. And remember, the Leprechauns are watching.
Do you hear those tiny bells of laughter? They sound like the fluttering rainbow colored wings of a beautiful butterfly, or grasshoppers communicating by rubbing their long green legs together. Don’t be fooled. It’s the daytime disguise of the leprechauns.
‘Tis the wee-folk.
They love a good joke, and the brave who look Fear in the eye and laugh at it, sending it scurrying back to the dark corners of the earth. Leprechauns are the tiny party-animals of the enchantment realms. Do you see the green dust floating on the breeze? There is love and magic in the air.
So while you are on your date, make a wish, and perhaps seal it with a kiss?
