July 16th 2008, Where is the time going? I cannot believe how fast this year is flying past.  It seems to be a really challenging year for many folk right now and my advice is to just ride the waves and hold on - it will get better as long as you don't give up!  On a personal note I now have my wolf puppy home, Nico, and he has settled in wonderfully.  It is hard work of course with broken sleep to take him outside in the night, but apart from that I could not ask for more wonderful addition to my family.  If you want to see Nico, I have posted some photos on my blog.
On another note, I finally finished my Energy Anatomy Diploma Course and took the main exam a couple of weeks ago.  I passed with Honours so I am really very happy to have achieved such a wonderful top grade.  I worked really very hard on all my assignments and I can say it was all worth it.  Next month I will be taking a holiday for 2 weeks.  I will try and log in when I can but I will not be taking any new orders during this time.  I will provide more information about the dates nearer the time.

June 6th 2008, The wonderful Barrie John will be partnering up with the lovely Rivkah Morgan on BBC Radio Cambridge (click the listen live link on the site) on June 12th at 9pm.  You can tune in easily online and even view the studio webcams too.  It is a great show and very interactive and you get to chat with these fantastic mediums live on the radio.  On a more personal note, things are going great for me at the moment. My Energy Anatomy Course is steaming ahead and I only have a couple more assignments to complete before the main exam.  I am pretty confident I will sail through it but it is always nice to complete a diploma course.  On another update, I am investing in a puppy.  I pick him up beginning of July and I am very much looking forward to it.  I am more than sure a few photos will be appearing on my blog of the little guy, after all, that's what blogs are for *smile*.

May 25th 2008, Just a short update as I am really getting stuck into my Energy Anatomy Coursework and the main exam looms closer and closer. I have also knuckled down and completed my Violet Flame Healing course as well, which I am going to be receiving Attunement for later on tonight.  Things are going really well for me lately. I seem to be on a lucky streak, which I am glad about because so far this year has proved to be more than challenging.  Not just for me either, many, many people this year have been struggling -  some people still are, however, hang in there, it will get better I promise.

May 8th 2008, What absolutely gorgeous weather!! I have to admit I simply adore the sun and I soak it up like a sponge.  I met up with Luke and Lorelei socially again at the weekend - they are such a lovely couple - and genuine too!  Luke is never short of an interesting word or three, bless him, he is right on the button with what he comes out with!  I have also come to know the beautiful and fascinating Rivkah Morgan recently too, another well known medium and psychic but based in the UK.  Apart from her BBC Radio Cambridge shows (tune in tonight on the web at 9pm GMT after The Naked Scientist) and other charity work she has now just started doing platform work.  This is something I would love to start once my children have grown up a bit and are less dependant on me.  If you would like to learn more about Rivkah - you can visit her website here: www.mysticalhealing.com. In the meantime enjoy the gorgeous weather and always use a good sun cream.

April 15th 2008, This past weekend I finally got to meet with Luke and Lorelei, Germany's best loved TV Psychics.  I got to know them on a personal level earlier in the year so I was really looking forward to meeting them in person.  Find out what happened on my blog.  I have also updated my Oracle page as well. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to offer full personal readings due to time issues, however, I can offer you accurate readings in which I choose the cards but the actual reading is provided by Oracle software (which I have actually bought a licence for as it is that good!).

April 11th 2008, I have this very afternoon just received a Certificate for my completion of the Kundelini Reiki Course. I have also completed all the booster attunements that must be given after the final Master/Teacher Attunement.  I have to say that this way of healing is incredible. I can easily incorporate this in conjunction with my Shamanic Healing and the power is amazing.  The most wonderful thing about using Kundelini energy is that it is so energising and whilst it also benefits you, it also benefits me :).  Now I must kick on with my Energy Anatomy Diploma, my Violet Flame Course and, last but not least, I will take my Lenormand Studies off the back burner :).

March 20th 2008, I had my second Attunement for my Kundelini Reiki last night. This was the last one before my Master Level.  I have to say it truly was a profound experience.  The Kundelini Energy is something that is probably dormant in most people, but once awakened it truly puts you on another level.  Before I continue studying my Master/Teacher Level I will do another Assignment for my Energy Anatomy.  I have also signed up with a new course to study the "Violet Flame", which I believe originated from Germany.  As I currently live in Germany I thought it would be a good idea to embrace that as well, however, this course is well on the back burner for now along with my Lenormand studies until I get my Energy Anatomy Diploma and Master Reiki completed. And .. on top of all that, I am laying a floor through the whole downstairs of my house this week ... no peace for the wicked (or so they say) *innocent!*. 
Regular healing sessions for clients will continue but I will only be working in the evenings for the next fortnight and will not be doing my early morning 5am sessions during this time.

March 12th 2008, Doesn't time fly when you are having fun!  My Energy Anatomy Diploma is going great (100 percent score so far) and I am now officially half way through the course (Assignment 6). My Kundelini Reiki Course is also going well and I have my first Attunement today. I have another Attunement next week and then I will start studying for the Master/Teacher Course.  Unfortunately, something had to give, and my Lenormand Oracle Course is on the back burner for a while because I was finding it too challenging focusing on so much at the same time.  When my energy courses are completed, I will be knuckling down with the Lenormand Course, however, realistically, I don't think I will be able to offer full spread readings until the end of this year - I don't do things by half so I would rather wait and give you a first class reading!

February 10th 2008, Wow, Valentines Day is coming up already!! Where is the time going?  I am still working on my Lenormand Oracle Course and to be honest I am struggling with it, however, this is good because it makes one appreciate it much more.  It is SO different from Tarot and I had no idea just how many combinations there are to learn (over 600) and it is taking me longer than I had anticipated.  I am about to also start my Kundelini Reiki Course as well in conjunction with my Energy Anatomy Diploma (which is going great - 100 percent scores on all my assignments so far). Although I do not work using the mainstream, typical Usui Reiki, I find the Kundelini Reiki more in tune with the Shamanic healing I already do, and it will add another beneficial and interesting dimension to the way I work.

January 24th 2008, My site, after having a few problems with downtime, is back up and running 100% and with an extra kick - my new blog! www.blog.sandycristel.com  ... feel free to comment on any entries if you wish!

January 10th 2008, I hope that you all had a wonderful break and a good party into 2008.  This year is going to be a toughie especially for Virgos as Saturn is in Retrograde. We must try to keep our cool when dealing with authority figures and if you have any large plans - NOW is the time to get off your backside and put your plans and thoughts into motion but hold off on actually starting new projects.  Saturn will be in Retrograde until May 2008 - could be a challenging time for some, but use this energy to work for you and you will benefit from it :)

December 10th 2007, I am busy beavering away at my coursework for my Energy Anatomy Diploma and have finally completed Assignment 3.  In between times, I have started studying Lenormand Oracle cards.  I have read Tarot since I was 13 but I have never ever felt they were personal to the individual. The Lenormand Cards, however, have another way of working, which is totally unique. They are very personal the individual and even during these early days of learning I am getting very accurate results. I am aiming to offer Lenormand Oracle Readings via my site from Spring 2008.

November 17th 2007, GUILTY! Yes I know :) but this time I owe you all an explanation of why I have not been keeping you updated with my diploma coursework.  Truth is I am only on Assignment 3.  I received another 100% for the second assignment but I was not able to continue as I received an urgent plea for immediate long term healing.  This was something I couldn't ignore and has taken up all and any free time I had, so my coursework was put on the back burner.  I am pleased to report that all my hard work has paid off and the person is back on the right road to recovery.  I am now resuming my study in between my regular sessions and spell casting.

September 21st 2007, As promised I said I would keep you up-to-date with my latest course.  I submitted my first assignment last week and I passed with 100%.  The next assignment is equally interesting so I hope I can keep up this perfect score.

September 7th 2007, I am now embarking on another course. This time an Energy Anatomy Diploma Course.  I have 12 assignments and one exam and the first assignment arrived this morning. I will keep you updated of my progress, but I know now that I will really enjoy getting my teeth into this one :)

September 6th 2007, I am now fully registered with the International Natural Healers Association (INHA).  If you would like to check the validity please see my healing page for the link and copy of the certificate :). I would like to give special thanks to those few who gave me unconditional support during my training. In particular my closest friend Brian, my Mentor Anna May and my best friend Ingrid. May love and light always find you.

September 5th 2007, I received my Spiritual Attunement and certificate for my Ama Deus Shamanic healing course this morning.  I have been extensively practising my hands-on healing recently as a close friend was left crippled after a car accident. Hands-on healing and distance healing are very different but the outcome is the same.

June 30th 2007 was a BLUE MOON.  This is when you have a 2nd Full Moon in one calendar month.  These are rare and only happen once every few years - just as well because the power behind  one of these is 10 times the kick of a normal full moon - Excellent time to cast spells for Love, Money and Health.  The next Blue Moon will not occur until December 2009.  Make a note in your calendars!
