“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I would solve the problem in less than five minutes.”

The last thought and feeling you have prior to going to sleep is what your unconscious has to work with for the entire night. Focus on gratitude.

Meditating with the Angels with Rachelle Croteau

Stressed out?  Overwhelmed?  Looking for a way to ground yourself and find your center, expanding your capacity for peace and health? 

The benefits of meditation are vast and profound and range from health improvement to mental and emotional and spiritual strength and healing.  Many of us want to meditate but have a hard time committing to it, or even knowing if we are doing it right. 

Rachelle’s group is a perfect way to start or continue a meditating practice.  In her meditation group, you will learn to quiet your mind and welcome the healing energy of the angels.  You will experience tools and techniques for working with the angels in your everyday life.  They are standing by to assist you with releasing stress, comforting you in times of worry and grief, releasing emotional blockages, and bringing more peace and joy into your life.

Our customers (and the UC team!) are loving Rachelle’s meditations.  The angels provide a focus and a direct resource to call on during the week when you are meditating on your own.  Says one customer, “It’s a wonderful way to get to do something for myself.  I get an hour and a half to focus on my own well-being and connection to spirit, and that makes me a much happier and more balanced wife, mom, worker — and all my other roles — during the week.  I’m able to decompress from the previous week and recharge for the coming week.”  

During the guided meditations, some customers see colors, scenes, even sometimes the angels!  One customer reports that when she focused on clearing her throat during a meditation, she immediately felt a surge of confidence. 

Rachelle’s meditation meets every Tuesday morning from 10-11:30am.  The fee is $15 ($12 each when you sign up with a friend, or get a special package deal of $105 when you sign up for 8 in a row).  Preregistration is recommended for planning purposes.  Please call 508.697.2334.

Meditation

One of the surest routes to peace and balance in your life is finding the time to meditate.  It’s time that will pay great dividends in the rest of your day, making you more effective, calmer, resilient to stress, and even happier.  Meditation has been scientifically proved to reduce stress and improve health.  It also helps you connect to the stillness inside – that place where you know the answers for all the questions you have.  And, it connects you to spirit, making room for communication with your higher self and your guides, angels, and the Universe.

At Uplifting Connections, we offer many resources to help you experience meditation.  We have several CD’s and books as well as a meditation group every Tuesday morning from 10-11:30 with Rachelle Croteau called Meditating with the Angels (see below for more information). 

Uplifting Connections – Mediums and Healing Grief

When I lost the two of the men I loved most in the world within 2 months of each other,  it was the resources we now have at Uplifting Connections that saved me, gave me hope, and slowly but surely helped me to see that life would go on.  To me, grief has two main tentacles that wrap themselves around your soul: 1) the worry about whether your loved one still exists and is okay and 2) the pain of missing their physical presence.  I am blessed to be surrounded by talented mediums who have brought me many messages from my father and my husband – and that is one of the most uplifting connections I can imagine.  It entirely erases any concern or worry about whether they are okay.  I know they are more than okay, and I know they are around me when I need them.

We have evening events with mediums – gallery readings ranging from 15 participants for Jackie Waitkus’s shows to 70 for Maureen Hancock’s shows, as well as more intimate private readings with mediums such as Mandy Avery, Emma Phaneuf on a weekly basis, and many more mediums available during our Psychic Fairs the 2nd Saturday of every month.  Please see our Event page (link) and our Readings page (link) for more information.

We also have books on Spirit Communication, Maureen Hancock’s The Medium Next Door, a weekly Spirit Communication Development group on Wednesday nights, and CD’s from Maureen in which she teaches us how to tap into our own abilities (and most mediums agree that we all have the ability to tap in if we should choose to develop it). 

We have a grieving section of books as well.
