I leave Monday morning at dawn for the Angel Therapy® Practitioner conference in Kona, Hawaii!
To say I’m excited would be an understatement. Certainly too stoked to organize my thoughts much this week, but I wanted to give you a head’s up about my absence.
When I attend Gatherings, Spiritual Retreats, and Healing Workshops I like to leave my computer behind and go off the grid as much as possible.
My response to emails and comments will be limited from 11/03/2008 through 11/11/2008 (perfect return date, huh?). I’m booking readings to resume 11/12/2008 — stay tuned, I will have some additional reading options and special pricing when I return.
Before my trip
I’m releasing as many expectations as I can, but I do know that studying with Doreen Virtue represents a move toward more confidence in working as a medical intuitive. The Universe sends me more and more people with medical requests; it represents a context of intuitive work of which I am still fearful. Medical intuition carries an enormous amount of responsibility, but it’s also a kind of ultimate goal — representing one of the “highest” ways I feel I can serve other people. So far, my specialty seems to be identifying prescription interactions and dosing issues.
I’ve been working to upload medical vocabulary into my frame of reference. The information comes in a predominantly clairvoyant format — I can see a lot of things I don’t have the language to articulate.
Fear | Excitement
For me, October was a month filled with exercises in patience and anxiety control. I will replace this temporary announcement post with a more thoughtful article in the near future, but I wanted to leave you with one observation to contemplate. Switching from extremes of anxiety/fear to the excitement/anticipation of this once-in-a-lifetime trip, I can’t help but note how similar the vibrations are. Almost as if excitement is a half-note away from fear. It’s like standing in the same spot energetically, but facing one of either opposite directions.
A lot of the energies I’ve been working with lately seem to highlight the fact that power, in and of itself, is neither good or bad. I can channel or raise power from Source, independent of where I project or direct it. My body’s physical response is almost identical in either state of fear or excitement. I just discussed this over coffee with one of my practicing Buddhist friends; she mentioned that Fear/Hope sit right beside each other.
Hmm… Something to think about.
Send me prayers of protection as I travel, along with any concerns I can carry for you — I’m off to pack!

Have fun in Hawaii, Slade. I didn’t know you were getting into the medical intuitive gig. Very cool. I had the great fortune to have a session with Carolyn Myss 15 years ago. She is a gifted medical intuitive, for certain. The medical profession, when open to it, can benefit tremendously from intuitives. Have a blast!
Have a wonderful trip Slade. I LOVE Hawaii, it’s truly a magical place (and very reminiscent of NZ). I can’t think of a better place to go on conference.
Can’t wait to see what insights you’ve had on your return.
in joy,
KL
I’m excited FOR you! And just a teensy bit jealous!
Travel well, my friend. Can’t wait to hear what you have to say upon your return.
Wishing you a fabulous trip – Hawaii & Doreen Virtue! Should be fantastic
I’m going to an angel workshop at the end of this month too, although not in Hawaii. I’m so looking forward to it though. It’s for absolute beginners (which I am), and I’m hoping to learn lots, be completely inspired and that it will open up new spiritual avenues for me to explore.
Oh, and I loved what you said about excitement and fear having the same vibration, but face the opposite direction. Very true in my experience. I speak at a lot of academic conferences and I always feel that strange mixture of fear & excitement that is very hard to describe, but which always seems to help me perform better.
Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all the best on your once in a lifetime trip, and that I hope it brings you many wonderful memorable experiences. Can’t wait to read all about it when you get back.
Safe journey
Amy

I have been listening to some of Doreen Virtue’s audios and am thinking that it is wonderful that you are attending a workshop on Angel Therapy conducted by her. I would leave my laptop home too, if I am you. Now I know who to turn to for medical healing requests!
Have a blessed trip!!
Looking forward to your post about how it all went,
Evelyn
Have fun in Hawaii! I can totally understand how medical intuitive work would be daunting, even for you, but that’s great that you’re moving forward anyway. I can’t wait to find out where it takes you.
Wowee I’m very glad to have run across your blog. It came in the form of answers to various questions while browsing… Everything happens for a reason, I know. I have been perusing the site, and so far I really like your blog… Good luck with the Angel Therapy workshop…
How magical our universe is (even on bad days).
Glad to have found you on the cyber-highway.
To complete my Angel Therapist® internship, I’m offering special pricing on my 30 Minute Phone Consultations. For a limited time, you can schedule a Spirit Guide Reading | Angel Energy Healing session for $99.

Slade, talk about exciting! Going to Hawaii AND studying with Doreen Virtue – does it get any better? I first met Doreen in 1998 and felt accelerated just sharing her energy field. I’m sure you’ll find your skills amplified. I know what you mean about seeing things you don’t have the language to articulate. Years ago my mother gave me a Gray’s Anatomy, and I bought an Anatomy Coloring Book which proved most helpful and was fun to play with. I look forward to reading more of your journey of turning fear into excitement, and I will turn my readers on to your work.
[...] 7 — Study with an expert in my field and seek additional certifications for my work. It’s not like professional intuitives can just take a class at a community college, even if we want to. I have enough academic degrees for now — I wanted something with a shorter time commitment and a focused, practical result. I also wanted to observe a master in my niche from a practical perspective. I chose Doreen Virtue’s Angel Therapy Practitioners ® program as it most closely overlapped in many ways with what I’ve already been doing. [...]
