Don't Miss Messages from the Other SideTM Saturday, May 17th!
Join Dr. Lauren as she presents her Messages from the Other SideTM program on Saturday, May 17th in Hamilton, NJ. Heartfelt and healing, it's an event you won't want to miss.

The program begins at 10 am and continues until noon; a video/CD signing follows the event. To be held at AMC Theatre, off I-295 and easily accessible by train from NYC and Philadelphia.

A limited number of tickets will be sold to enhance your chances of receiving a message from someone who's passed on.



Dr. Lauren's Travel Schedule: Come see me in person!
I love to teach, to help others develop self-understanding through deepening their connections to their intuitive nature.

I'm traveling to present workshops in a number of cities this spring: Sacramento, Seattle, Minneapolis, Washington DC, and Rochester. If you can, join me!

Under featured links in this newsletter, you'll find some of the classes I'll be teaching. (You may have to use the search features of the websites from the sponsoring organizations to get the full details.) Come meet me in person and share in the journey toward self awareness through intuitive awareness!



Kuan Yin: The Goddess of Compassion
Kuan Yin: The Goddess of Compassion
Years ago, when I lived in Japan, I became familiar with the female deity Kannon, better known as Kuan Yin, the goddess of compassion in the Buddist tradition (who, interestingly, was initially portrayed as a male).

As we hover on the brink of war between the U.S. and Iraq, intending the highest and best outcome for all concerned from a place of compassion is something I hope we can all aspire to.

"With mercy and compassion, Beloved Kuan Yin
Melt away this anger, and let me love again
Melt away this fear, and let us love again...
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasu Devaya"
(First four lines from the song, Prayer for the Warriors by Sophia, on the CD, Prayer: A Multi-Cultural Journey of Spirit)

Stand strong. Use your power, your prayer. Stand with compassion--with passion--for a better way. Intend it.



Wise Words & Sage Sayings about KINDNESS

Here are some powerful quotations on kindness--something we can choose to offer this world, a richness we can share, no matter our state of material wealth or the state of world affairs over which we have no direct control. Kindness seems to be in short supply all too often.

Do your part to change the world today--be kind.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.--Plato

You have not lived a perfect day, even though you have earned your money, unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you.--Ruth Smeltzer

The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.--William Wordsworth

Kindness is never wasted. If it has no effect on the recipient, at least it benefits the bestower.--S. H. Simmons

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions--the little, soon-forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment.--Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.--Charles Dickens

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.--Mother Teresa

The Power of MESSAGES
While traveling and conducting seminars, I'm always struck by the popularity and power of message mediumship--just one form this work takes.

What makes a message from the other side so powerful?

First, it's the joyful connection that often helps a person here trust their own awareness. In fact, most people have had connections with passed-on loved ones--they just don't know it. Messages point that out.

Second, they give us a doorway to what is in store for us one day--the ability to reach back and say, Hey, I'm still here, still me, still concerned about and sending love to you.

And third, they open us up to so much more. A message often catapults a person into a new awareness, documenting things that often couldn't be known by ordinary means. If that's the case, what ELSE can we know about that can help us learn and grow? Curiosity about "how did she do that?" leads to new personal discoveries.

And that's what mediumship is really all about: launching you into your OWN journey to self-discovery.

Enjoy the ride!

NEW BOOK! Lily Dale: The Town that Talks to the Dead
Author Christine Wicker is enjoying the launch of her newest book, Lily Dale: The True Story of the Town That Talks to the Dead. I'm excited that it's selling well--as it should be. It's a well-told tale by an award-winning journalist.

While I'm featured in Lily Dale (the book) that's not why I like this book so much. It's because of the integrity of the author, whose initial skepticsim slowly shifts as she experiences the quirky charm and mystical energy that is Lily Dale.

She'll be featured in O! the Oprah Magazine & First for Women. Watch for me to appear occasionally with Christine as she's on radio promoting her book.

Here's a fun side note: my able assistant Rachel got her own message about which pages mentioned me before she opened the book the first time; check out pages 89 and 185-186; 86 is the number she 'heard'...and those are the pages she found that mention me. Being psychic must be catching!

LILY DALE--The Town
Many of you know I'm a registered medium in the western New York town of Lily Dale, where I spend my summers living & working in a community of mediums (which my husband Ed has nicknamed "psychic summer camp")

If you're interested in learning more about this interesting place, which is an hour's drive from Buffalo, 3 from Cleveland and Pittsburgh after reading Christine's book, click below.

They're not high-tech, so if you'd like a copy of the program guide for 2003--it's not online--call the office at 716-595-8721 and tell 'em Lauren sent you.

Since I was a psychic kid--and still am at heart, I think--I'm very interested in collecting, compiling and researching stories of psychic kids.

If you have one, know one, or were one, I hope you'll share your psychic kids stories with me. I'm passionate about making the world a kinder place for kids who understand things differently, and it's only through learning what you've been through that I can craft the most useful teaching materials.

Please help me out by sending in your recollections. I'll feature them in this newsletter from time to time. All identities will be protected.
