Staying "Connected"

Hello and welcome to our "late" fall edition of our newsletter. We've had a lovely fall at The Heart to Heart Healing Connection. We held our annual "fun-raisers" for The Rays of Hope recently, adding to the nearly $8,000 raised this year by our friend Suzie's team, "Wiggins Warriors". Our monthly Community Night of Healing events have been quite a success; our 11/11 Community night was off the charts! Jess' "Evening with the Other Side" was a sell out. Classes have been full and our Festival of Light on 11/21 was awesome. 12 of us played in the IET® energy and created our "vision for 2010". (You can see pictures on our facebook page: www.facebook.com/heart2hearthealing). All of this proves to me that we are a world looking for healing, a world wanting to be connected and to have tools in our hands to help ourselves and others. Jess and I are so grateful to have been able to bring those tools to so many this year, to offer love and support to the community and we feel blessed for all the love we have received from you in return. As our year draws nearer to a close, I'd simply like to say, "thank you" from my heart to yours - for all that you have given us this year.

It is my hope that all of you reading this enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving - with time spent with family and friends. Maybe you even set a place at the table to honor a deceased loved one or perhaps you were blessed with an unexpected dinner guest.

We have a couple of things to announce - For your convenience, we now offer you the option of paying for certain classes and sessions at The Heart to Heart Healing Connection via PayPal - right through our site. We hope you find this helpful. I am still able to take credit cards when you come into the office; however, we wanted you to have another option. :)

Secondly, I am honored and thrilled to have been asked to assist Stevan Thayer once again at Kripalu. He will be offering a Basic IET® class the weekend of August 27-29, 2010. What a great place to spend a balmy late summer weekend - and to be immersed in IET® for the weekend . . . mmm, brings a smile to my face. We anticipate the turnout to be exceptional for this event. He offered this training for the first time in February 2009 ~ we had 20 people join the Integrated Energy Therapy® Family that weekend!

With the Christmas season just around the corner, I find my schedule winding down but, we do have a few things to tell you about. We have our Community Night of Healing on December 9 - this is the event that enables you to experience 20 minutes of Reiki OR Integrated Energy Therapy® OR The Amethyst Biomat - by donation . . . This month's event is already sold out! I have a couple of openings left for Reiki II on Thursday, December 10. The requirement for this training is that you have been Level I for a minimum of three months. You don't have to have taken your Reiki I training with me in order to pursue Level II with me. For those of you Intermediate IET®'ers - we have an Advanced training on Saturday, December 12 in Agawam. We also have an Intermediate class the following week on December 17 - this is a special request class and there is a little room left. If you've been wanting to take (or retake) either of these classes, give me a call. Remember, as always - if there's a class you'd like to take and you don't see it on my schedule, I'll do my best to make it happen for you.

I wish you all the blessings of the holiday season - and an ABUNDANT 2010 - filled with your fondest wishes and desires come true.

Getting "In Touch with Spirit" ~ Jess' Corner

Happy Holidays, dear readers! Is it me, or is it hard to believe it's the beginning of December already? Wasn't it just the beginning of fall?

Speaking of fall, what a glorious fall it has been! Michelle spoke of much of the "gloriousness" above . . . but I wanted to just touch briefly on it here. I was so thrilled to travel out to Bisbee and Tuscon, Arizona in October and meet so many wonderful new friends through gallery events and private readings! The West was a wonderful, welcoming place - and I thank all of you who came out to see me! And just in case you were wondering - yes, I am planning a return trip for 2010 . . . stay tuned! :)

I also want to thank everyone who came to my "Evening with the Other Side" event at Heart to Heart on Friday, November 6th. The dead folks were there in full force that evening, with some very touching, emotional, and even funny connections. I am always humbled and honored when I have the opportunity to bring through your loved ones in Spirit - and this night was no exception! I will be offering two more "Evening with the Other Side" events before the year is out . . . the first will be held online at Peg's Angelical Whispers on Thursday, December 10th. This is a special ONLINE version of gallery events, so I hope you will join us that evening in the chatroom! My last "Evening with the Other Side" for the year will be held on Friday, December 18 at Lynch Ledge in Bristol, CT. This is sure to fill fast, so please contact Kimberly Lynch at 860-944-0693 to register!

Just a couple of other items to mention . . . firstly, the Group Meditation Circle that Celina McMahon of Contained Within and I have been holding at The Heart to Heart Healing Connection twice a month is on a slight hiatus until the holidays have passed. But once the New Year begins, we return on January 8th with the meditation circle. Celina and I have some exciting and fun meditations planned, and the suggested donation is only $10 - so please come join us for a relaxing evening of meditation!

Lastly, for those who have been following me on Facebook or visited my site recently, you'll notice that this coming weekend is an event I'm VERY excited for - "Empowering Women over the Holidays"! My dear friend, life coach Julie Sochacki, and I are "joining forces" to help you ladies out there experience an exciting and fun day that helps you to empower yourself as you move through this holiday season - and into 2010! This fun event will take place THIS Saturday, December 5, from 1:00 to 6:00 pm at Star Soleil in Torrington, CT - and the price is just $77 for the day. To register, please contact Star Soleil at (860) 626-9642.

I'm in the process of lining up an exciting schedule for the new year . . . the return of my "Beyond the Book" Tarot class and "Listen to Your Heart" Intuitive Training, more "Evening with the Other Side" events, and of course, exciting and informative guests on my "In Touch with Spirit" Radio Show . . . so keep in touch and stay tuned!

Wishing you all a wonderful rest of your holiday season and "Heaven in your heart" ~ now and into 2010!

~ Jess
