Ann Bolinger-McQuade/EVERYDAY ORACLES 07/17/13

Ever wonder if that recurring dream meant something? Do you see certain shapes in the clouds - maybe a loved one’s face ...or hear an extremely relevant song playing on the radio related to a friend you've lost ...? Have you experienced serendipitous events and brushed them off as a coincidence?Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest, spiritual teacher Ann Bolinger-McQuade, author of EVERYDAY ORACLES: Decoding the Divine Messages That Are All Around Us," reveals that, if we allow ourselves to stop, look, and listen .. we can identify what Ann calls personal oracles.Chances are that your personal oracles, the “everyday miracles that often go unnoticed,” are trying to speak to you. And when we tune into these subtle messages from Spirit, we may discover guidance for navigating life's most trying situations.Personal oracles take different forms - conduits, mirrors, synchronicities, signs and symbols - and have played a role in the lives of many well-known to us all, from Socrates, John Lennon, Forest Whitaker, Lucille Ball, Wayne Dyer, to present-day diplomats, such as Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia - who have believed in and utilized them.Ann shares that the universe is constantly conspiring in our favor and is ready to lend a helping hand when we need it most – if only we can look closely and open our hearts to the divine messages that are on display around us. Ann's perspective of the world as alive, nurturing and filled with personal oracles springs naturally from her Native American ancestry. Indeed, she has spent the last three decades divining and following her own oracles, which have guided her through her breast cancer diagnosis and her father’s death.Ann coined the term personal oracles to describe those mysterious messages that guide and often comfort us, and in so doing illuminate an interconnected world that is tuned in and available to us at all times.Join Julie Ann and Ann for a riveting and insightful conversation about how Everyday Oracles that were hiding in plain sight may magically appear at precisely the right time to give us inspiration and guidance.
