I. NEW CLASSES!

Kundalini: The Root of Feminine Power

Sundays, 1:00-2:30, location in Minneapolis, MN (or by email)

4 week course, $60

Beginning February 22, 2004

Kundalini is an ancient word for the immense spiritual energy we all have lying dormant within us. This energy is seen as coiled at the base of the spine until it is awakened. Awakened kundalini has the potential to rise through the body, bringing ever increasing spiritual enlightenment, awareness and joy.

This class will cover the basics of kundalini: methods that awaken kundalini; the purification process that kundalini requires; and the pitfalls that can occur if kundalini is awakened unintentionally or prematurely.

This class is subtitled The Root of Feminine Power because Kundalini is essentially the Goddess energy within all of us. It is a truly powerful connection to the divine feminine.

Intensive Healing Class

Thursdays, 7:00-8:30, location in Minneapolis, MN

6 week course, $150 ($25 per class)

Beginning February 26, 2004

Intensive healing is needed more and more these days as we enter a time of purification and clearing. Many receive diagnoses of chronic fatigue, auto-immune disorders or other baffling illnesses as our bodies try to communicate to us what needs to be healed and cleared.

This class will consist of various methods of healing in addition to information specific to each student’s needs.

This class is open to all, no matter what physical, emotional or soul healing you feel is needed. Prior experience with energy healing is helpful, but not required.

Crystal Children Discussion & Playgroups

Wednesdays, 10:00-10:40am, location in St. Paul, MN

Weekly ongoing meetings, $40 per month

Beginning in March 2004

Today’s children are born with innate gifts of sensitivity in all respects. “Crystal children” is the term that has been coined for this latest generation of kids, roughly ages 0-7. You can expect your crystal child to be highly aware of the world around her, and to challenge you and your perceptions of mind, body & spirit.

Bring your young child with you to these meetings where you will meet other like-minded parents. We will discuss various issues related to parenting a crystal child including holistic remedies, understanding children’s sensitivities, as well as other issues that come up which will help you support and understand the needs of your crystal child.

The initial group will be for parents and their children age newborn through age 2.

Meetings will begin when there is a sufficient number of registrants.

Call or email Dr. Mesich to register: 651-735-8880, drmesich@kyramesich.com

Please also call or email if your child is older than 2, or if you need another meeting time other than weekday morning. Additional groups will be opened as needed.



Sensitivity: The Psychic Causes of Emotional Sensitivity

A one-time class offered monthly at the Open U/Learning Annex, Minneapolis, MN

Emotionally sensitive people feel emotions deeply, are easily hurt, uncomfortable in loud or crowded environments, and may suffer from recurrent depression. What few people know is that emotional sensitivity is directly related to psychic sensitivity, particularly empathic ability.

In this powerful workshop you will:

Discover what empathic ability is – How it relates to sensitivity & depression – How to identify your own empathic ability – Alternative health remedies for emotional sensitivity – How to develop your empathic ability to solve life-long struggles with emotional sensitivity or depression.

I am currently not teaching intuition & psychic development classes. Echo Bodine is teaching classes of this type in the Twin Cities, MN area. You can view her class schedule at www.echobodine.com.

II.  FLOWER ESSENCE OF THE SEASON: GENTIAN

In this new addition to my “quarterly” (most of the time) newsletter, I will highlight one flower essence remedy which encapsulates the current emotional energies. It will reflect the struggles or issues which many people are going through at the same time.

This season’s flower essence is:

Gentian

Positive Qualities: Perseverance, confidence; faith to continue despite apparent setbacks Patterns of Imbalance: Discouragement after a setback; doubt

Definition: The soul can become strong and vibrant only by becoming resilient. Obstacles and problems test the soul's ability to respond, and to trust in the unfoldment of life.

Those in need of Gentian become too easily discouraged and disheartened when problems and setbacks occur. Such souls view impediments as insurmountable problems, and are unable to discover solutions. The individual needs to learn that such vexing situations occur because they are exactly those lessons which are needed for growth and strength. Gentian gives encouragement, especially helping the soul to shift its mental perspective and see the long view. The doubting and skeptical qualities which the soul harbors are gradually transformed into deeper faith. Gentian flower essence helps the soul to acquire great inner fortitude and unwavering trust in the outcome of life events.

This description of the Gentian flower essence remedy is from the Flower Essence Repertory from FES.

Gentian is available through FES, www.fesflowers.com.  It is also available from Bach Flower Remedies.

III. ANSWERS TO READERS’ QUESTIONS

I frequently receive questions via email, and, unfortunately, my schedule doesn’t allow me to give a personal response to each one. I apologize if you are one of the questioners to whom I have never responded. (I also receive hundreds of spams a day, so occasionally legitimate emails are deleted.)

In this and future newsletters, I will answer some of the questions I’ve received:

Q: Does the emotional sensitivity that we have towards people also include animals?

A: Sure. Animals, particularly domesticated animals and pets, are emotional, empathic creatures. So you may sometimes find yourself feeling the empathic communication your or someone else’s pet is trying to communicate.

On the other side of the coin, it is helpful for pet owners to understand how empathically sensitive their pets naturally are. The family pet’s state of health and ailments are very often reflecting the household’s emotional environment. If the people of the house are ill or experiencing a lot of stress or transition, you can bet your animals are empathically feeling it all. And your pets may end up expressing this through behavioral changes or physical symptoms.

Luckily, you can help your pets just as you would yourself. The flower essence remedies that you need can be shared with your pets by putting a few drops in their water bowl.

Q: What role do diet & exercise play in empathic sensitivity?

A: This is an important question. I don’t know if I can over-stress the importance of diet and exercise for sensitive people. In regard to diet, it is important to eat regularly. Smaller, more frequent meals are generally best for sensitive people. At least make sure you have an afternoon snack, so you do not become depleted late in the day. Also, try to be aware of foods you should limit or avoid. Most sensitive people will have some food sensitivities. Examples are things such as caffeine, sugar or wheat products.

Exercise is important to keep the sensitive person’s energy flowing and recirculating. Think about a room in which the air is never recirculated - it becomes stagnant. Exercise keeps your energy moving, and hence helps you recirculate and recycle the energies and emotions you feel and encounter each day.

Gentle attention to your body’s needs while taking patient, regular care of yourself, will go a long way in managing your sensitivity.
