Angel Committees: How to Get Universal Assistance Robin Friedman, Wednesday, December 15, 12:30-1:45PM Pacific Time, $20 Back by popular demand! This is one of the favorite classes. Miraculous things just seem to happen afterward! Do you ever feel overwhelmed by too many seemingly impossible tasks? Wouldn't it be great if everything just worked out easily? Years ago, a mentor of Robin's told her about the book, Hiring the Heavens by Jean Slatter. She tells her story of how she discovered amazing help in the universe. Now she hires 'angels' for every task - spiritual jewelry sleuth for lost jewelry, spiritual remodeling help when she needs home repairs, spiritual marketers when she is working on her business. I started a file last year on my computer, and looking over it, I am stunned at how much has worked out, so seemingly easily and naturally. You don't have to believe in 'angels', this may be just tapping into the great super consciousness, your own subconscious, etc. - it is not religious, just acknowledging that there is more than our own small conscious minds. Each one of us has a life purpose, yet it is easy to get off-track, or side-tracked by all that's going on in our life, especially since we have blinders on. If we ask for assistance, miraculous-seeming events open up. And what is on our life plan is what brings us the most joy. Tonight we will learn both simple, and more involved ways to 'call in assistance' and I will be giving you a pdf that you can use in the future to make your life much easier and more joyful. There is power and good energy in a group! You will also receive a handout, which can be used for years to come. This meeting will take place by Zoom, from the privacy of your own home. If you cannot make it, Robin will send you the recording and the pdf. Even if you've done it before, come! There is always more help to receive.

RobinFriedmanEnergy.com SIGN UP Zoom Event! Clearing the Energy of 2021 and Setting the Energy for 2022 Robin Friedman, Friday, December 31, 10:30AM-12PM, $20.22 Clear the energy of 2021, and set up positive energy for what you want in 2022! We will be working with the subconscious and the energy body to clear out the old energies, to make way for the new. We will be using several different techniques to harness the power of the subconscious, joining with the conscious decision-maker. For years we've done this at the change of the year, and it is always amazing at what shows itself! One person's old year appeared as a crumbling cottage and the new year as a spacious but comfortable castle. For another, the old was a dried-out field with straggly plants, while he planted the energy of helpful people and open opportunities and then saw a blossoming apple tree as a symbol for the new year. No public sharing is required, this will be mostly an internal experience. Bring several sheets of paper. If you know EFT tapping, we may be doing some tapping, but it isn't necessary. Email me if you would like tapping instructions beforehand.
