Awaken Your Intuition
(Led by Connie)

The traditional and time-tested method for intuitive growth is "sitting" in a Development Circle. During this fun and fascinating session you'll Awaken, Experience, and Explore your intuition through “Table Tipping.”  Not only is it entertaining, it’s a remarkably easy method for examining and enhancing your intuitive abilities. You’ll see what’s possible to know about others – and learn about yourself. 

The basic technique is quite simple. Our group will simply sit around a table, with each person resting your hands flat on the top surface of it. The table will soon begin to vibrate and will eventually we'll be rewarded with the tipping phenomena. Participants will ask questions and I'll teach you how to tap into your intuition to receive answers. The table will tilt if your intuition is correct!

Meet your Spirit Guides
(Led by Paularyo, channeled through Connie)

You are not alone on your Life Path.

You have Spirit Guides wanting and waiting to provide you with deep wisdom and clear guidance. Indigenous cultures have always known that the universe is filled with these enlightened energies. Meet your Spirit Guide and learn who you are, why you're here, and what you're to do. Receive personal wisdom and guidance for your life path.

Bring Clarity and Purpose to your Life
(Led by Paularyo, channeled through Connie)

During this session you'll be guided to bring your beliefs and values into alignment, allowing ease to be your guidepost as you create a life of clarity and purpose. You'll experience "creative consciousness" by (1) uncovering subconscious beliefs and patterns which were imbedded by your culture, your family and your life experience, (2) receiving information as to how and why they were formed, and (3) aligning your true beliefs and value.

Meditate to access your Intuition
(Led by Paularyo, channeled through Connie)

Meditation can produce experiences beyond everyday consciousness, allowing you to journey into your intuition and thus gain healing insight. Discover how to drop from your head to your heart – the home of your soul and the seat of your intuition.  Experience being filled with love, peace, and joy. Learn how to bring in the energy of healing - emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Discover how to balance your basic energy centers, your chakras.  Dropping into your heart and balancing your chakras creates the perfect environment for receiving wisdom and guidance directly from your Spirit Guides through automatic writing

Meditation and automatic writing is an easy, yet powerful, healing combination, capable of positively influencing all levels of your mind, body and soul. Excellent for stress reduction. 

 

"Most of all I will stand “Soul First” and remember to allow my life to be easy. "

Connie Russert, M.S. - Facilitator and Channel for Paularyo

A year and half ago, a TV show interviewed over 600 channelers in the USA to select 3 for a program during which channelers would help people become more effective in their lives. I was selected as one of the 3.

How did I become a channeler? I spontaneously and unexpectedly discovered my gift of channeling in 1985. After going through a ‘Reluctant Channel’ and then a ‘Closet Channel’ stage, I quit my job as the Program Coordinator/Department Chair of Disabled Student Services at a local college, to emerge as a top-selling author, popular international channel, and sought-after retreat facilitator.

My Spirit Teachers, Paularyo, have provided insight and inspiration to thousands of people, including personalities in the entertainment industry. Clients report renewed enthusiasm, enhanced creativity, a peaceful sense of personal control, and refined ability to realize their goals.

You're invited to spend a weekend with me and my Master Spirit Teachers, Paularyo.

Here are some questions we've received:

QUESTION:

I would like to you ask you few questions. I never had experience to meet channel and the retreat myself.. I know a little something about energy and the earth. I really want to learn much more about it. will they ask me who I am?, why I am here? and what I am to do etc at the retreat?  I'm trying to think harder what to answer. smile

RESPONSE:

My Spirit Guides “Paularyo” will help you discover…who you are at the soul level , why you are here, and what you are here to do. On Friday evening when I channel Paularyo, that will be the topic. No worries. Paularyo will help you with this.

QUESTION:

Will there be enough time for people's questions with the group of this size? 

RESPONSE:

I find that whenever I do groups, even if you don’t get to ask your specific question, someone will ask a similar question and you will receive your guidance.  During groups everyone participates with each question to Paularyo.

QUESTION :

And may I ask how is that going to be conducted? 

RESPONSE:

During group channeling, Paularyo usually begins with “teaching” a topic, then opens up for questions.

QUESTION :

Writing or signing personal questions before the group begins or during? 

RESPONSE:

The questions are asked during the session.  I will have an interpreter during this time.

QUESTION :

Suppose someone has a question and doesn't want to ask in front of the group? 

RESPONSE:

That’s understandable.  Two things:

1. Everything said during a Spiritual Retreat is held in confidence.
2. If you would prefer to ask a question away from the group, I’m offering a special rate for individual one-hour phone sessions after the retreat. 

Here is how it is explained on the website:

Optional 60-Minute Individual
Channeling Appointments with Paularyo ($77)

My gathering of seven Master Spirit Teachers call themselves, as a group, Paularyo.  The energy of Paularyo is loving and nonjudgmental.  The information is deep and profound. With a gentle, compassionate and caring touch, Paularyo reveals to you the kindest, gentlest you that is, and your elegant soul which is within. You feel cradled and cherished. You discover the heart of your life challenges.  You uncover the light of truth in your Self, as you’re taught to enter compassion for your Self and others.

This special reduced fee is available only to those attending the Retreat,
will be purchased during the Retreat (check or cash), and
will be scheduled for a date after the retreat.

QUESTION:

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do during the retreat... what if I can't express it or need it to be in confident...

RESPONSE:

I’m so sorry you’re concerned about what you’re supposed to do while you’re at the retreat.  That can be very disconcerting.

Please allow your selves to come to this retreat with an open mind, an open heart, and open to whatever happens.  Allow it to be easy….and fun!

During our time together I want to be sure you have the opportunity to experience different forms of Spirit.  I believe Sheryl already sent you the schedule. 

We will follow the schedule loosely.  Mostly we will flow with it. 

Let me provide you with some more details.  I hope you don’t go into overload.  Just read whatever interests you!  I’ve put some links next to some of the topics.  These links will give you more information about the topics.

We will experience the following together:

1) Meditation

With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It can even affect our health. We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate! But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused. A simple ten or fifteen minute meditation can help you to overcome your stress and find some inner peace and balance.

Meditation can also help us to understand our own mind. We can learn how to transform our mind from negative to positive, from disturbed to peaceful, from unhappy to happy. Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts is the purpose of the transforming meditations you will learn. This is a profound spiritual practice you can enjoy throughout the day, not just while seated in meditation.

2) Channeling.  For an in-depth understanding of what channeling is, pls see this page on my website:  http://www.toolsfortransformation.com/channeling.html 

It contains information such as: 

What's the difference between a Channeler and a Medium?

What happens during Gatherings with Paularyo?

What is Connie's experience during a Paularyo channeling?

Why do people seek channelers?

When is a good time to attend a Paularyo Gathering?

Introducing my 7 Master Spirit Guides, "Paularyo"

Brief historical overview of channeling

Paularyo will begin with teaching on the topic listed above, and then will open for personal questions.  If you are not comfortable with asking a question in front of the group, you have the option of making an individual telephone channeling appt with me.  Two things:

• Everything said during a Spiritual Retreat is held in confidence.
• If you would prefer to ask a question away from the group, I’m offering a special rate for individual one-hour phone sessions after the retreat. 

3) Tools you can use at home to receive personal guidance:

a. Table Tipping. 

You can see some pix of people table tipping here:  http://www.lynnkent.com/tabletipping.htm

I use it to help you get in touch with your Intuition.  It’s really FUN!!!

b. Journaling

Journaling is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to accelerate your personal development.  By getting your thoughts out of your head and putting them down in writing, you gain insights you’d otherwise never see.

While your brain is technically capable of processing a great deal of input simultaneously, your conscious thoughts play out in a certain sequence.  One thought triggers the next, which triggers the next, and so on.  Sometimes these sequences have a few branches, but they’re still subject to linear time, and at any given moment, you’re following one of those branches.  These thought sequences have a beginning, a middle, and an end, and it’s nearly impossible to see the big picture overhead view of a sequence while you’re stuck in playback mode.

This is where journaling can provide huge advantages.  Journaling allows you to break free of sequential thinking and examine your thoughts from a bird’s-eye view.  When you record your sequential thoughts in a tangible medium, you can then go back and review those thoughts from a third-person perspective.  While you’re recording the thoughts, you’re in first-person mode.  But when you’re reading them, you can remain dissociated instead of associated.  This dissociative view, when combined with what you’ve already learned from the associative view, will bring you much closer to seeing the truth of your situation.

c.       Automatic Writing  

During automatic writing messages seem to come out of nowhere through your hand and onto paper.

These messages come from your Spirit Teachers.  It can be used to receive personal guidance.

d.  The Pendulum  For info on the pendulum, see this site:  http://www.crystalinks.com/pendulum.html

e. ”Sacred Path Cards” For info: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/sacred-path/

f.  Runes For info: http://www.cinemind.com/atwater/runcast.html

 

COMMENT:

Yeah Connie, good idea, as I think that's the whole point of the Retreat is learning from each other that help ourselves that we could be going through the same thing.   Just like at DeafYoga last October, it took me awhile to speak up and you know what?? I felt relieved and in awe with all the support from others!!! That's how I see it... to express freely without judgment.. (I'll try my best to express, as myself I don't express very well)...

"Life is a process of personal transformation...
a journey of remembering your soul qualities,
of living your life with purpose and passion...
allowing it to be easy."
