We have longer days so we don t have to feel as if we need to hurry home and get settled in front of the TV. PLUS, most of the regular TV shows are on vacation also. So, I have a good suggestion for you: COME to the library! If it s a hot day, you can grab a book and just hang out in the cool zone..we have air conditioning. Or, choose a few classes or events that appeal to you. Lots to choose from. Maybe you can awaken that sleepy consciousness with art techniques. And you don't have to have any art abilities to do this...just show up and let Maxine take you on the journey. Last year we had the pleasure of hosting Cheryln Pleaver, an intuitive spirit medium as well as a great motivational speaker who comes to us from Arizona. She is an author, a musician and has her own radio show. Cheryln is again coming to Southern California for a month and will be presenting a series of interactive events on a variety of subjects both this month and the next. Check them out! Haven t you always wanted to learn how to bend a spoon? Or learn what all those creases in your palms are trying to tell you? Change in Friday Hours Friday hours for the library will be changed to coincide with the hours that we are open on Tuesday thru Thursday, 3:00-7:00 p.m. Saturday hours will remain the same: 12-4:00 p.m. Happy Summer! Love and light to all Jan Burke, Newsletter Editor janieb@cox.net (760) What s Up? Hello Fellow Seekers.. I invite you to close your eyes for a few seconds and realize how fortunate we are to be living in this wonderful part of the world. Sunny days and cool nights are common staples of Southern California; granted, on some occasions the sun shines in full majesty thus giving away his rays with fervor. On such days, stop by the Library, grab a book and find a cool place to soak your mind in pleasant and refreshing words. Now that the sun has given us his longest day of influence, we welcome the summer. A festive time to celebrate and to share it with friends and family. Days at the beach and time spent at the park are part of summer time, but don't forget to check out some of our new events, or some of the ongoing classes Summer is a great time to invite friends and enjoy a day at the Library where the walls speak of ancient wisdom and many teachers share such wisdom with you. Let the spirit of the summer solstice, still around us, carry you in his wings and discover new frontiers of knowledge and joy. Wishing you a wonderful summer, Adrian Magaña, President, Bend low again, night of summer stars. So near you are, sky of summer stars, So near, a long-arm man can pick off stars, Pick off what he wants in the sky bowl, So near you are, summer stars, So near, strumming, strumming, So lazy and hum-strumming. Carl Sandburg

2 Page 2 Crystal Corner Awakening and Charging Crystals During the time of ancient civilization, tribal ceremonies involved the activation of crystals. Yearly, natives ran with the head shaman to the ocean to awaken the crystals held by the tribe. When they arrived at the ocean, the shaman or medicine man hit a large rock with the base of the crystal and it was said that if the crystal broke, the world would end. Seems a little drastic, doesn't it? Probably what would happen is, because of the large amount of energy released, that the world of the shaman would end. Poof! You don t have to run to the ocean and hit your crystals with rocks. You can use the following methods: Impacting the crystal upon the energized sand of the ocean beaches and/or sand dunes Sounding a meditative gong in proximity to the crystal, stimulating the activation of the resonance of the crystal Gently sounding Tibetan prayer bells (or other bells) in proximity to the crystal, aligning the energy of the crystal structure such that it can be efficiently directed. Crystals should also be charged before working with them. Use one of the following methods: Place the crystal on a large crystal cluster Place the crystal in the center of a circle, where the circle is comprised of other crystals whose terminations are pointing toward the center. Place the crystal in sunlight and/or in the light of the moon; the days related to the summer and winter solstices, the vernal equinox, the autumn equinox, the full moon, and the new moon are more heavily charged. Next month the final step Programming Your Crystals

I will demonstrate some doodling and shading techniques and provide guidance in how to stay conscious of your thoughts while experimenting with these techniques. Page 5 Materials will be included.
