New Book Seeks to Enlighten Readers to Their Greatness

The website for Journey to the Heart, author Ernesto Ortiz�s organization dedicated to spiritually inspiring others, defines Akashic Records as �the individual records of a soul from the time it leaves its point of origin until its return.� Helping individuals to understand this concept, Ernesto delivers his new book, The Akashic Records: Sacred Wisdom for Transformation. With his deep connection to the Akashic Records, Ernesto guides readers on a sacred journey into their own Akashic Records. �The Akashic Records� provides a thorough map of the energetic territory designed to help readers explore the many ways they can utilize the Akashic Records and the guidance of the masters and teachers. Ernesto was first introduced to the Akashic Records by Edgar Cayce, a renowned figure in the realm of body, mind and spirit health. Ernesto went on to devote much of the next 25 years of his life to the field, eventually becoming a teacher. Ernesto�s The Akashic Records is a book he hopes will have a profound effect on readers. The book is available at amazon.com, balboapress.com and journeytotheheart.com.



The Sacred Geometry
Oracle Deck

Sacred Geometry is the key to understanding the way the universe is designed. Called the language of light and science of compassion, its images and shapes are embedded in DNA, mandalas, pyramids, crystals and well, everything. Anyone who has ever gazed at a spider's web, meditated on a mandala or Yantra, visited a pyramid, walked a labyrinth, or peered through a microscope has felt the effects of sacred geometry. Now the Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck introduces an entirely new way for you to gain access to this wisdom and unlock its power. The set includes a 128-page 6X9 paperback book with 64 full-color oracle cards. See this page for more info or to order.

Feng Shui Travel Tips
by Judith Auora Ryan / International Feng Shui Master, Astrologer, Clairvoyant, Writer, Teacher, and Lecturer
Whether you�re planning a fun filled vacation or an important business trip, don�t forget to practice Feng Shui! To start off right, at check-in request a room with good luck numbers. Because numbers emit a vital life force, drawing both good and bad experiences, make sure your room number is composed only of auspicious vibrations. The most positive numbers according to feng shui are one, six, eight, and nine. Any of these numbers alone or combined will bring you better luck. Steer clear of a room with the numbers four or seven in it. Whereas in our Western culture, many buildings lack a 13th floor, in China it is common for buildings not to have a 4th floor. The number seven, while not as malevolent, won�t bring you much good fortune either.
