From Colleen Rae's
"Animal Talk"

"In my dream, I'm waiting for two men to come back because they took not just my computer's external hard drives, but also the power cord so I can't even turn my computer on. I'm gnawing on the back edge of my laptop. It tastes sweet, but I realize I have to stop because wires are starting to show and I'm destroying it.

As I sat at our table, writing down this dream, my boyfriend comes in to say the neighbor's cockatoo destroyed the tiny remote control for our outdoor stereo. I think nothing of it. The bird's always breaking the clothespins ore eating Gerard's cigarette butts. I just say, "Bummer," and go back to my writing.

Only later when I go outside do I get it.

There on the picnic table sits the image from my dream - black plastic shredded and wires beginning to hang out. I'd forgotten that this remote, unlike the ones inside, wasn't white but black like my computer.

A bird's enthusiasm that morning entered my dreaming mind mind and I made up my own story around it. But I'm haunted by the fact that it tasted so sweet. Did it for the bird?"

In this workshop, you'll learn how not only how to communicate with the animals in your life, but how you might have been doing it already and just not known you were.

From Colleen Rae's
"Correcting Our Relationship to the Dead."

"Traveling with Rick from the Outer Banks, he says something about wishing he knew his mother was still around; I, of course, have been feeling her presence since he arrived (or before). So I dip in to see what she’d say to him. I get an impression like a V of energy coming up , bursting up from his heart, spreading out over his chest, up to his chin: like being lit up all of a sudden. I describe this to Rick as I ask if he can think of times he’s had this experience. I think that what his mother’s saying is to help him find out what gives him joy, steer him there. But no! He says that yes he’s been having these inexplicable feelings that come out of nowhere. He can never figure out what’s causing them, but it’s just intense bliss/joy/happiness. It hits me like a eureka. This is what she’s saying: “That’s me coming to visit you.” And I tell him this. He says it would be great if it were true.

"On some level, does he know it’s true? Does his 'skepticism' only run so deep? I mean, this is an interesting example of what he and I were talking about before that – how souls give evidence. I couldn’t have known about these moments of inexplicable joy that would just come over him. She gives me information in just a good enough way that when I describe it, he knows exactly what I’m talking about (even if I don’t!). And yet, his response is the one that’s so typical of people: 'I’d like to believe.'

"I didn’t say more. I figured it would filter through eventually."

What are those who have crossed trying to say to you?

Here are comments from "Talking with the Dead" participants:

"I just took my wife to the MIA and showed her much of what you had pointed out in your tour. It reminded me of how great your tour was and so I wanted to thank you again." JRob

"Thanks Colleen! You are a fantastic teacher and guide. I enjoyed our group and tour immensely." Jeana

"Come calm your nervous system as I did that day when I fled the overload of downtown St. Paul for the quiet of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I got WAY more than I expected. I learned a most amazing secret that brought more energetic peace than I've known in a long time. Come find out what it is.

Here are comments from "Energetic Secret of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts" participants :

So many of my Psychospiritual Counseling clients come to me with a deep sense of failure around manifesting. Very quickly, I am able to help them understand how they can shift into an energetic alignment that helps reorient them on the path of their Heart's Desire. In this Mystery School for a Scientific Age workshop, we'll use the energy of the group to remember what we've known all along -- what we came here to do.

Here are comments from "Manifesting Our Heart's Desire" participants:

"Well, Colleen is a teacher of Truth. Even in today's waking up world, it is still a challenge to sit in the space of truth but she does it well and sorts out the wheat from the chafe. Great workshop." Gaia

"There was so much information that was relevant for me. Colleen instinctively brings forward what is pertinent for all people participating. No matter what the specific subject of the meetup, there is always some wonderful information that I take with me. With this meetup in general, Colleen answered questions that I had had for some time. I enjoyed this subject greatly."
Jocelyn

"I enjoyed hearing about a different perspective on how to think of myself and my success, or perceived lack thereof. I really liked having the opportunity to understand that I've done nothing wrong and that I can let go of trying to plan and control so many aspects of my life. The session helped me make more sense about why difficult things have happened in my life (in everybody's life). Thank you Colleen and all the participants!" Anita

Changing the Brain’s “Set Point” to Bliss

From Colleen Rae's
"Love at the Speed of Light"

That day, during my Turn on Your Heartlight workshop, I truly knew what sitting in your joy meant – and fully understood its power to change the world. I looked around me and saw huge, glorious auras and gorgeous radiant faces – a room filled with bliss bunnies.

Because I understand the nature of energy, how we’re always leaving traces of our story everywhere we go, I said at that workshop, 'I bet people will notice the gift you’ve given them here today. You’ve 'blissed' this space for the Yoga Center."

And so it was.

The next day, I sent this email to everyone who had attended the workshop:

Subject: the energy of Bliss at the Yoga Center
Hello lovely workshop participants!
I thought you’d like to hear this story:
When I went to return the key at the yoga center today, I asked the director if she’d liked the buzzy energy we left in the place. Her eyes filled with bliss – that’s the only way I can put it. She said that when she’d come in on Monday, the room felt so good, she just had to do a sit within that energy. Fortunately, she said, she’d come early enough to do that. Then when the yoga teacher came later for the first class, she walked into the room and right back out again, exclaiming to the director about the incredible energy in the room. She too was early enough to do her own little sit. Then in the evening, the director’s husband was vacuuming the room. He came out and said to her that he knew it had been awhile since he’d been at the center, but it sure felt wonderful in that room!
Now maybe we can’t take ALL the credit because there were two meditation groups that also met that weekend – but what do you think? Maybe we should make it our goal to litter the world with as much Joyful Heart Smile Energy as we can this week . . . Deposit energy traces wherever you go!"

Here are comments from "Turn on Your Heartlight" participants:

"I really enjoyed last Saturday's energy event at your house!  Learning all the different meditations & sending healing energy is extremely helpful & joyful." 
Michelle

"Thanks for the event last Saturday!  It was quite thought provoking.  I also felt ongoing benefits from it afterwards." John

Has energetic overload ever made you feel like the image to the left? And have you ever felt the kind of "energy hit" mentioned in the passage below? Come and learn from "Energy Maven" Colleen Rae what the world could be like if we were trained in Energy Management skills from an early age.

From Colleen Rae's
"Body Oracle"

"He flung his energy at me and I literally saw it coming, big and dark like a panther. The weight of it hit me in the chest, taking my breath away and almost knocking me over. I understood in that moment how such a shy and 'conflict- avoidant' person could have been such a Hollywood big shot. We talked of this later, and he agreed he’d always been able to 'run the show' without saying a word. I, however, would not be controlled this way. 'Pull your energy back,' became my refrain. He had to come to the table, to be open and honest."

Empath Meetup Group facilitated by
Psychospiritual Counselor Colleen Rae

 "Thank you for the meetup group last night. It was the first time I’ve had the privilege of being in a group of people like me. It was wonderful to hear about others experiences, and also others successful tricks and tools. I enjoyed meeting everyone, and I hope to attend the next meeting if thats OK. I especially appreciated your technique of 'going into and allowing' an emotion to discern whose emotion is being felt. I’m going to give that one a try – I now have new hope of releasing emotions if they don't belong to me, so thank you. . . . Thank you for providing a safe space for empaths to share experiences and learn from each other. Though I feel I need to learn the ins and outs of communicating in a group when everyone is an empath, the experience of being there last night was very meaningful for me." Sue Johnson

An Empath might well be described by this Webster's Third definition for empathy: the "capacity for participating in or a vicarious experiencing of another's feelings, volitions, or ideas and sometimes anothers movements to the point of executing bodily movements resembling his."

Are you an empath? Do you suspect you might be? Have you struggled with how to cope with being an empath? Have you reveled in the connection it gives you? Do you want to learn how to sort out what's yours from another's? In training other psychics, Colleen Rae has for years focused on making Empath(y) a blessing rather than a curse.

"If you feel you are an empath, this would be a great way to expand your skills and help you thrive in a world that discounts your gifts." Zhenya S

"Colleen is masterfully gifted at guiding our focus on the joys of our gift and creates a loving and safe space for exploration." Diana Knobel

 "If you are empathic this group will definitely help to support, guide and enhance your abilities. The facilitator is great and very gifted." Blake

It is a great way to connect and share experiences and I'm sure in the future learning new ways of coping with this Gift." Theresa

"Safe space, somewhat rare opportunity to discuss this topic." Fanona

"I think this is an excellent way for people to explore their journey and assist in finding their purpose. This was an unbelievable soul journey for me." Patty Z
 
 "Anyone who's always been 'different' in these ways should give it a try. I learned a lot in just one session, and felt right at home with everybody in a non-judgmental atmosphere." Linda B

 

 

The Paranormally Gifted Group
facilitated by
Psychospiritual Counselor Colleen Rae

"There are members with many different experiences and levels. Colleen is a great facilitator with many years of experience in helping others to integrate these experiences in their lives." Shannon

“The information is absolutely right-on.” Elenute

"I think the group is helpful for those of us beginning or lost on our journey in learning what are our psychic abilities and how to utilize them for the greatest good. The group is a safe place to discuss things a person cannot talk about in most settings comfortably." Jackie

"Very diverse group, with thought-provoking, lively discussion." Mary

"The chance to meet others and learn more about not only their gift but the wonderful people who also walk the path" Cheryl

"At the meeting I attended people expressed different experiences and yet the same. The meeting allows for you to feel secure and that you are with others who have shared similar experiences. It's a good thing as they say! Come and join us." Susan Frank

"I learned so much tonight, Made some friends after you left. Thanks for asking me about my self. I enjoyed opening up to the group. I experienced so many feelings there and all of those people are such big spirits. I was amazed by the readability of each person there. I mean to say, it was easy to discern their emotions because everyone was so open. Such positive energy. I almost feel like I belonged there all of my life. I can't wait for the next meetup." Tim Arney

 

 

The Enneagram of Energy Patterns facilitated by Colleen Rae

Psychospiritual Counselor Colleen Rae uses her gift of reading energy combined with her 17-year study of the Enneagram to help her clients break free of limiting behaviors and open themselves to a peace they might not have known before.

Before joining this group, Colleen Rae does a one-on-one Enneagram Energy Pattern typing session.

"Thanks so much for our session yesterday.  I'm so incredibly clear on my six fixation now!"

"Colleen Rae is a gift to the community. She is very expert. I am left wondering how she stores such a warehouse of knowledge on personality profiles and patterns. In her session you are bound to make discoveries about yourself, and are likely to verify what you suspect or already know. So the session was reassuring and comfortable. Colleen has a wonderfully calm and grounded style." Dr. Carlene Bawden

"It was very helpful to have an experienced and knowledgable person allow me to sort through my confusion about the enneagram typing of my personality. I am so clear about this issue now and I want to thank Colleen from the bottom of my heart. . . . If you've ever been confused about the enneagram type that's been assigned to your personality, and especially if it doesn't feel quite right, then please discuss it with Colleen." Anita Martinez

"It was great to meet everyone. I am glad I now know my Enneagram type. I look forward to learning more about the Enneagram." Julie D.

I use the term "Shamanistic Creative Writing" because it was a gift given me in not one, but two dreams. When the Dream-maker gives us gifts, we can hardly refuse them! But other than that, I recognized as soon as I meditated on the term that creative writing of a shamanistic nature was exactly what I'd been teaching for over a dozen years and what I'd shared in my book, Movies in the Mind.

• Shamans bring the dream into waking; and that's exactly what my process has always been.
• The shaman's path is the path of ecstasy that connects us with the brain states of alpha & theta; that's what my writing techniques induce.
• And shamans deal with deep personal transformation, and I've never had a student who didn't leave my classes changed on some deep, probably even cellular level.

I've often thought over the years of the psychiatrist who - incognito - took one of my first "How to Build a Short Story" classes. She told me at the end of the class that after 25 years of practice, she had been at a crossroads regarding whether to continue. She said, "I saw more change in your students in eight weeks than I could affect in two years - if then."

Part of the byproduct of these transformations are a reconnection with the psychic, which in and of itself is not all that surprising since dreams, creativity, and psi all come from the same old place inside of us, a place of magic and power that can be tapped if we - like shamans - master that giant called the cerebral cortex. That's what I teach others how to do, and I get pretty excited just getting the opportunity to help people transform like this.

Shamanistic Creative Writing has been one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given, and I’m grateful I get to share it.

"Your Shamanistic Creative Writing Class kept me sane during a time of spiritual emergency. I did not understand what was happening and most definitely did not know how to deal with it. Your class brought me into contact with other people who were having non-ordinary experiences. Your empathy and shamanistic tools helped to bring the wisdom of our souls onto the paper. Thank you for being there when we needed you!" Ann Burrus

"Having completed four weeks of your Shamanistic Writing class, I look forward to continuing this process with you. I have known for many years that I am a psychic, but laying my concerns about it at your feet – the joy of it and the sadness of it - has been of immense value. My psychic self is also my poetic self, and finding a place to honor both of those things (which I think really are only one thing) in the company of other 'fellow travelers' in non-ordinary realms is a great comfort." JB

"Thank you for Saturday! You are such a gifted teacher. Everyone talked about how special it was, how good they felt about the entire experience. May all the workshops be as wondrous as ours!" Trudy Jones
