Biography
ANDREA THIEL CONNELL: One of mankind’s greatest mind illusions is the need and questing for balance. True balance is not found in a moment of rest. Pain and illness are experienced when we sit too long with our attention on one thing. Pain indicates a resistance to change. Balance is only experienced in the flow.
ANDREA THIEL CONNELL: Abundance flows in exact measure, meaning it is an exact value system that reflects the whole picture of our lives. Whatever you are - so will you attract. If any aspect in your life is impoverished it will show to you abundantly. The more lacking you feel in something the more disharmonious you will feel.
A pebble is tossed in a pool, the ripples move out from the centre and back to the centre, collapsing in stillness and ripple out again only to come back again to the stillness, eventually the entire pool returns to the stillness as though nothing had happened. 
ANDREA THIEL CONNELL: We have no choice but to grow into what we start out being. We are what we are. A marigold seed must become a marigold. A sunflower has no choice but to become a sunflower.
ANDREA THIEL CONNELL: The purpose for your life is this: to express your truest self in the best way possible. In order to allow our inner seedling of potential to grow towards the light we need to turn our vision away from the obstacles and focus with hope on the possibility of becoming our truest and best self.
ANDREA THIEL CONNELL: Fear is coming at us from every direction so we must become Warriors of Love right now! Dust off your Shield of Light and pull out your Sword of Truth – we have work to do! We have to love our fears to death!
ANDREA THIEL CONNELL: 2012 is a ‘5’ energy year [2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 5] and as such foretells of the influence of winds of change blowing consistently throughout the year. 5 is a very special esoteric number; it is perhaps this number that best expresses the ideas of ‘as above – so below’.
ANDREA THIEL CONNELL: Christmas and the holiday season ironically seem to have become all about finding joy in carnal pleasures. Although a degree of happiness can be found in these pleasures, true joy won’t be.
As Autumn comes into full bloom I seem to automatically slip into 'thanksgiving mode' and tend to become mindful of all the things I am grateful for. It's one of the things I teach my students and clients to respect as a one of the Reiki Precepts, but also it is one of the corner stones of building healthy relationships, family and community. 
As children, my siblings and I were taught to question everything. My Father drilled into us to never just 'believe' anything. All trust, all faith had to be earned; even then it was up for discussion. 
Our world, our humanity and our consciousness is changing. It is inevitable. It is futile to resist change; only you will suffer for it if you do. 
Once again we are joyfully blessed by the predictable flow of the universe as we enjoy the energy Spring Equinox carries in. It is comforting to know that in these days of tumultuous change for so many on the planet some things stay the same. 
"Respect must be earned." How often do we hear this statement? What do you think? 
The system of tarot is ancient in its origins, yet was not known in its whole form as it is known today until fairly recent history, perhaps only in the last 100 years. 
By the time we are young teenagers we have already learned to navigate our daily life as though we were walking back and forth over a bridge; the bridge between our mind and heart. 
How do I love Thee (and by Thee I mean Me); let me count the ways...Surely this is the hardest thing for people to do; loving themselves...they think. It's not that people don't love themselves, it's that they are stuck in shallow thinking. I want you to jump into the deep end. 
It's a fact: life can be stressful, it can be difficult and it can be unfair. It can take you by surprise and leave you feeling stunned, shaken to the core and confused. 
The excitement of a New Year is upon us; fresh starts and clean slates. For most of us the new year brings us to an awareness of rising unlimited potential, with a deeply felt sense of bubbling anticipation we step forward boldly, making plans and setting goals for the year ahead. 
Every year I hear people complain about the coming of Christmas; the hectic schedules, the cost, the commercialism, the stress, the loneliness and the gaudiness of it all. Bah Humbug I say! Lighten up...It's Winter Solstice! 
The upcoming holidays present many of us with the most stressful time of the year. Our schedules are already jammed packed with daily responsibilities and our budgets are maxed out. 
Today's society is absolutely obsessed with health and fitness. I suppose it's a good thing as far as obsessions go. With rising occurrences of serious health issues and disease I wonder though if people are approaching the concept of wellness from the right perspective. 
I am often asked to do home tarot card parties. I often don't know any of the guests that will be attending but experience has taught me that the 'right' people always come together at the 'right' time. As I drive to the house I do my normal routine of getting centred, focusing ahead to the evening and tuning in to the vibe of the night. 
There comes a time when we have to make changes. Creating change however is difficult. It is the human way to become attached to everything and it's difficult to let go of the things we have invested our hearts and minds in. 
The Law of Synchronicity, falls under what is commonly known as the Law of Attraction. It dictates that we will always be in the right place at the right time and that we will always get exactly the right series of events happening as we need them and are ready for them.
