I was born in Danbury, CT, but moved to Vermont at
age two. Growing up on a farm, I was always connected to Nature. Today I
combine Native American ritual with the Runes in Programs blending Nature
(Energies spiritually connected to the Earth) with Runes (Angelic Forces
behind the Runic symbols), thereby creating a bridge between Earth and
Other Dimensional Levels. I am also engaged in creating paintings which
can spark the unconscious spirit of the viewer to connect with his/her
mission(s), again constructing bridges between the Inner Being, living
within, to the outer (physical) being. [Editor’s note: Caroline has done
more Proxy Programs than most and is known for her very powerful Spiritual
Programs to help Mother Earth in this transitional time. In fact, it was
out of Caroline’s personal need that the Proxy Program was developed.]

While interested in a broad range of expanding
“new age science” and “new age thought”, it was through doing my
own Personal Runic Energy Cleansing Program some years ago that I became
interested in becoming a Certified Teacher. Because I home-school my
children, I prefer to work one-on-one or in small groups by appointment.

“social engineering”. His personal mission statement is to “teach
self-love, self-healing & self-empowerment by example.” He is an

I have been reading for and working with
individuals interested in their personal growth and psychic development
for over 30 years. As a third generation metaphysician, I am well
acquainted with the traditions of esoteric knowledge and have kept abreast
of the changing vocabulary and scientific developments that form the
“New Age” phenomenon. I am keenly aware of the heightened energies and
awareness affecting the planet and the desire of many to explore “new
realms of consciousness”. I have received an M.A. in Psychology and am a
Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy; with this background I conduct group and
private Interactive Conscious Explorations, Past Life Regressions,
Clinical Hypnotherapy, Runic Journeys, Psychic and Card Readings, as well
as help others in their personal Psychic Development. [Editor’s note:
both the Pathworking Program and the Runic “Celtic Blessing” were
developed by Judy.]
Nancy L. Bradley - Canada

I was born and raised in Ontario and presently of no fixed
address. With my Base Archetypal Energy Essences of INTERRUPTION and
GATEWAY and years to experience their effects, I have effectively learned
to enjoy the experience of what Life puts forward. As facilitator for
change, I have accumulated many ways of dispensing the opportunity to make
changes in ones physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
Traveling has been an excellent opportunity to learn more about change
both within myself & others. [Editors Note: Nancy has developed the
Higher Energy Reading.]

After studying the archetypal energies, many things about my youth
began to make sense to me. As a child I would constantly bring rocks,
stones, etc. into the house driving my parents crazy, especially when they
stepped or sat on them! I had also moved several times not quite feeling
right about the place. I realize now that I was attracted to, or tuning in
to the energies with rather mixed responses. After leaving the corporate
world for good in 1990, I turned to studying and then teaching
aromatherapy, reflexology, reiki, massage, etc., which I still do quite
extensively. My work with the energies was formally introduced to me by
Nancy Bradley in 1997, and I have been using them ever since. It has also
led me into developing more material about the vibrational energies of the
work I currently do, as well as exploring new avenues to healing.

Since 1988, when I changed careers, my personal
spiritual journey began to escalate. In 1995, I chose to make myself ill
enough to leave the “work-force”. Thus, my focus shifted to personal
growth through Reiki & Runic Archetypal Energy work. During this time
frame, I also began to practice Relaxation Massage (a love of mine for
over 30 years), Ear Coning, and Readings with Tea Leaves (which now
includes Runic Archetypal Energies & Numerology). I have discovered a
love for teaching/sharing Runic Archetypal Energy work as well as Reiki
& Ear Coning. Future growth seems to be expanding into incorporating
Colour Therapy into my work—as well as whatever the Universe may direct
my way. I continue my own Spiritual enlightenment to the Universal Law of
Love, Peace and Harmony.

I was born in Switzerland and moved to Canada in
1984. A disciple of Yesudian was my yoga teacher in Basel; practicing this
form of energy work has been the starting point of my spiritual
development. Various teachers have helped me along my path: Margarete
Friebe, author of “Das Alpha-Training” and “Das Omega-Training” in
Zurich, introduced me to mind development and various states of
consciousness. With Sharon Forrest in Montreal I studied non-traditional
healing approaches: kinesiology, reflexology, polarity, past life
regression, crystal work, dowsing. The various Runic Energy Programs that
Joe Ann Van Gelder has introduced me to have profoundly touched me and
have brought a clearer understanding of my previous experiences. Nancy
Bradley is my Reiki teacher. For the last 10 years and as my main focus, I
have been studying meditation and related energy processes with Ron
Chapman at ISUL in Ottawa. A recent passion for me is Tai Chi, which I am
practicing in Montreal with Mr. Lieu. As we are asked to teach what we
learn, I am giving bi-weekly classes in meditation, working with various
groups in and around Montreal, and, of course, I am available for teaching
the Runic Energy Programs and Reiki classes. I have a close inner
relationship with Sai Baba and Jai Amma Meera. I am keeping in close touch
with the spiritual and natural health community in Quebec through my work
as a distributor of visionary art, runic energy products and aroma
candles.

Writer at heart and a facilitator of healing in
life, my “day job” is as a Chartered General Accountant. Though
educated and licensed by the state of California, I have run my practice
within Ontario, Canada for the past 25 years. My life has given me many
opportunities to express my creativity through music (piano, guitar),
dance (tap & ballet) & writing (poetry & short stories) and
some rather extensive traveling. Initially becoming aware as a young girl
that I possessed a gift of psychic intuitiveness peaked an interest in the
unknown, astrology, tarot, and palmistry. Approximately 21 years ago, due
to a serious accident that left me hospitalized for four and a half
months, I turned my inquisitive mind to reading and studying healing,
nutrition and alternative health. Reiki, Ear Candling, Reflexology, Runic
Archetypal Energies are some of the modalities that I use for healing work
& teaching, I live with my golden retriever & faithful cat in
the country. I enjoy the freedom of self-employment!
Sathya Sai Baba, Avatar and Teacher - India
Sathya Sai Baba, a Teacher living in India, is
physically small, standing about five feet tall and weighing a little over
100 pounds; spiritually, however, he is a giant, an Avatar.
He has his main ashram in the remote village of
Puttaparthi, where he was born on November 26, 1926 (his birth name was
Sathyanarayana). Among other "signs" evidenced at his birth, it
is said that musical instruments in the home played by themselves. As a
child he was a vegetarian and would go without his own food, sharing it
with others, rather than see someone go hungry. Among the other village
children, he organized prayer meetings and singing sessions (bhajans); he
would materialize sweets for those around him.
He had his primary education at Puttaparthi, where
he was a good student; for higher studies he went to a school in a nearby
town where his brilliant record was noted and his miraculous
manifestations continued. On May 23, 1940, he announced that he was Sai
Baba. (Shirdi Sai Baba had been a revered holy man who had died in 1918,
having announced that he would be born again in eight years to a family
whose description and location fits that of the parents of Sathya Sai
Baba). At this point, Baba left school and returned to Puttaparthi, where
he lived in a small shed put up by his devotees; this small beginning has
expanded so that the small village, which once was reached only by a
bullock cart on a long, bumpy dirt track, is now reached by a paved road
and an airport, plus there is a "super specialties hospital" and
a University in what is now a growing, bustling town. All this because
hundreds of thousands of devotees and searchers-for-Truth from all races,
nationalities creeds, faiths, languages and background seek to have
Baba’s darshan (the sight of a holy person). He is noted for
establishing primary, secondary and University level schools in various
sites in India, teaching both boys and girls (which has been a
controversial breakthrough in some parts of the Indian culture).
Baba calls his manifestations his "calling
cards", saying that he gives us what we want, miraculously crating
items out of the unmanifest realm, in order to get our attention so that
we may want what he has come to give: Spiritual Truths. Beyond the
creation of these "calling cards" there are documented cases of
healing incurable diseases, raising from the dead, bi-location, and other
so-called "miracles", which, in my opinion, are the operation of
Laws of the Universe on which he calls but which we have
"forgotten". In fact, Sai Baba says that, yes, he is God but
adds that "you are God, too", only we’ve forgotten it while he
remembers.
While Swami neither asks for nor encourages
contributions or publicity, both come his way. He has said that he has not
come to establish a new religion, so that, if one is a Christian, a
Moslem, a Jew, a Hindu, etc., it is best that one be a better Christian,
Moslem, Jew or Hindu. He would prefer that we each live by the thought
that "My life is my message" (as, indeed, it is). He emphasizes
that:
There is only one caste, the caste of humanity
There is only one language, the language of the heart
There is only one religion, the religion of love
There is only one God, and he is Omnipresent
Sai Baba has predicted that he will live in this
body until he is 93, and that eight years later he will incarnate for a
third time as Prema Sai Baba (again in the south of India). The triple
incarnations as Avatar carry the messages of work (Shirdi Sai), worship
(Sathya Sai) and wisdom or Love (Prema Sai).
For more information, there are numerous websites
available, as well as books, tapes and videos which may be obtained from
the Sathya Sai Book Center of America, 305 West First Street, Tustin, CA
92780-3108 (phone: 714-669-0522; fax: 714-669-9138), plus information on
various Sai Centers with local "contact" people nearest you.
There is also the Sathya Sai Newsletter USA, which you may order from P.
O. Box 660908, Arcadia, CA 91066-0908.
Vermont Vibrations and all Runic Energy work is
dedicated to Sathya Sai Baba, who led me into it and who has been and
continues to be my Guide, Teacher, and Friend.
