    Letter from thePublisher! Welcome to the new Alternativeswith a new name...Alternatives Spirit Guide!

    It is my pleasure to re-introduce you to one

    of the most respected metaphysical

    magazines in the region. We are excited to

    publish and share with you, each month, the

    latest news and information from like minded

    writers, artists and light workers. We

    welcome your input and look forward to onceagain, being part of your community.! I have been a writer all of my life.About ten years ago, my first article was

    published in Alternatives and that was an

    exciting time for me. I was so proud! Over

    the years, I have contributed to Alternatives

    and was able to meet many wonderful

    people in and around New Orleans because

    of my association with the paper.! Alternatives also sponsored mypsychic fairs and events held at the House

    of Broel the past seven years. The paper

    has long been a strong supporter for so

    many people and such an important part ofthe spiritual community. After Katrina, like so

    many businesses in the area, it suffered

    despite the efforts of many dedicated

    people. Without our regular dose of

    Alternatives, there was a definite void left in

    our neighborhoods. How many of you

    enjoyed your copy over a cup of coffee at

    r All,In 1990, Cathryn Rogers began the Alternatives

    ication. In 2000, I took over the helm and have continuedhard work. As 2012 signals the new energy of all the earth,time to welcome a new editor/owner that can steerrnatives even further along. With much excitement and a

    of melancholy, I announce my retirement and welcomea Shaw Lawson as the new Editor of Alternativesspaper.

    The past twelve years have been a fabulous rollerter ride. I have met so many (literally) life changing people

    o many life changing events that tears roll down my cheekse thought of my life without them. I am so blessed byng owned this incredible publication. Some of you willember me saying that the universe tricked me into it. Whent bought the paper, it was after a weekend UFO conferenceinvolved hours of meditation. Silly me to think, it was all

    ut the money Id make in my right-brained little world.ead, a whole new world opened before me as my left-brainly found its place in my conscious existence.

    Admittedly, the money flowed completely in the wrongction. That lesson, among hundreds of others, areolutely responsible for who I am today. I thank each andy one of you readers, writers, especially advertisers, anda especially the dedicated workers - that madernatives Newspaper such an awesome Earth-school.

    Many of you will agree you have learned along the wayell. I have many expressions of gratitude addressed tornatives over the years from those touched by an article orodality or a particular person they connected with throughpaper. What a joy it is to know that so many more willefit in the future. Maria is a perfect fit to bring the paperk to print and share herself it its pages.

    The song from R.E.M. comes to mind It's the end of

    world as we know it and I feel fine. I feel calm amongstchaos of our outside world. Alternatives has given me (andpe, some of you) the tools:

    to rely on ourselves and the goodness of our other-selvesto be/love ourselves and let others be who they arewithout judgmentsto trust and yet still question, our long-held beliefsto know that we can manifest, not just personally, butgloballyto realize God loves me and, everyone else too, just aswe areto accept that rights and responsibilities go hand inhand

    to survive (perhaps, thrive?) Katrina and our otherpersonal disastersto keep on, knowing there is (always) so much more tolearn, to do, to give and to be

    Please give Maria Shaw Lawson and Alternativesspaper your continued support, in whatever form thats. I will be doing the same so that New Orleans and Southnd MS can have Sound Mind, Healthy Body and Growingt from Alternatives for many years to come.

    Going Home; The Transition from Life to Death

    Rev. Suzanne M. Angli

    Death like birth is part of the life cycle. It is not something that should be feared,

    ut embraced and accepted. At the beginning of our life we are introduced to a new

    ody, a new physical vehicle that will house our spirit throughout life on this planet. We

    ow and develop within the safety and confides of our mothers womb. As birth

    pproaches we begin our journey from the known to the world of seeming unknowns.We arrive into a vast and scary world. Surprisingly, family who has been

    nxiously waiting our arrival welcomes us. We are comforted and begin to settle into our

    ew body, our new family and our new life. Over time we reunite with many whom we

    ave known before as we re-establish relationships and work to re-balance our karma.We learn and grow. Strengthening those attributes within us that are weak and fixing the

    nes that are broken. Finally we reach that point when its time to leave the vehicle that

    as housed us for all these years and transition back to the world of spirit. And we are

    nce again faced with being cast into a seeming world of the unknown.

    In May 2012, my father transitioned from this world to the world of spirit. He was diagnosed with an aggre

    orm of cancer and was put in the hospital for treatment. But he quickly took a turn for the worse. Hospice was notifWhen I arrived at the hospital he was agitated and in pain. I immediately went into meditation and began to channel

    eiki (an ancient form of energy healing that calms and relieves pain). After about forty five minutes, something ver

    rofound happened.

    In the corner of the room to the left of my fathers hospital bed, I saw the spirit of my mother, my father's mot

    my fathers father, and others in spirit appearing behind them. At that moment I realized that not only was I there to h

    ase my fathers pain, but also to help him transition. By calming him, he was able to relax his gripping attachment to

    hysical body, redirect his focus away from the pain, anxiety and uncertainty of what was happening, to see the man

    pirit who were present. Simultaneously, his breathing started to slow, his agitation relaxed as his eyes were fixed to

    art of the room where his spiritual family was waiting. The connection was made and about fifteen minutes later, he

    was gone. Hospice didn't make it. I felt overwhelming joy and happiness and an inner knowing that he was at peace o longer suffering.

    Death should not be a struggle or something that is feared. We are merely going back to the world from whic

    we came, but have forgotten. Take comfort in the fact that when our time comes, there are those in body who are abl

    elp with the transition process and those in spirit who are waiting to welcome us home.

    Healthy

    LivingMy Super-Seed

    By Erinn Evans

    eople ask me about quinoa (keen-wa) often. The tiny seed packs some powerful

    rients and has become one of my familys favorite foods. I was introduced to thiser-seed when my family went gluten free. I missed couscous and a close friendgested quinoa. Its just as easy to cook as rice, and in my opinion tastes better!

    Many mistake quinoa for a grain but the yellowish pods are actually the seedplant called chenopodium quinoa, native to Peru and related to beets, chard and

    nach. The plant resembles spinach, but with 3- to 9-foot stalks that take on agenta hue. The large seed heads make up nearly half the plant and vary in color: purple, pink and yellow.

    In the Andes Mountains, where they have been growing for more than 5,000rs, quinoa plants have overcome the challenges of high altitude, intense heat,

    ezing temperatures and little annual rainfall. Peru and Bolivia maintain seed banksh 1,800 types of quinoa. It has only been grown in the U.S. since the 1980s.

    The Incas considered quinoa sacred, and held it in such high regard that theyerred to it as chisaya mama, or mother of all grains, because of its nutritionalperties and ability to survive the harsh environment found at high altitudes.

    Quinoa has been classified as a "super crop" by the United Nations becausets high protein content. It is a complete protein, which means it has all nineential amino acids. It also contains the amino acid lysine, which is essential forue growth and repair, and is a good source of manganese, magnesium, iron, copperphosphorous. The fact that it has magnesium, copper and phosphorous means that

    noa is especially good for those that have migraine headaches, atherosclerosis andbetes.

    The coating, which protects growing seeds from birds and the intense rays ofhigh-altitude sun, can make your quinoa taste bitter. Place the quinoa in a strainerinse with cold water to get rid of the bitter coating. Then add one part quinoa toparts liquid in a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cover. In a mere

    minutes, the seeds will be plump, fluffy and ready to eat.One cup of cooked quinoa has just 220 calories. Quinoa is a great source of

    lthy carbohydrates, and also provides 5 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein perving. Its available in most grocery stores now and always in health food stores. It'scious served cold as or on a salad as well as hot. Try ground quinoa in place of an

    meal breakfast, a little honey & some fruit - oh so yummy! I put quinoa in almostrything!e (http://bit.ly/Nsixvf) is an excellent write-up on quinoa with healthy facts ande are some yummy recipes (http://www.quinoa.net/181.html ). Enjoy!

    The word aphrodisiac derives from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Since ancient times, people use aphrodis

    Fruits and veggies: the goddesses bounty bubbles over with L-arginine. Asparagus is an especially vibran

    urce of folic acid, which increases the histamine production needed for satisfying sexual energy. Bananas a

    ch in potassium and B vitamins. Both component aid the production of sex hormones. Bananas also contain

    ufotenine, an alkaloid compound that improves mood and self-confidence. Avocados, arugula, carrots, cele

    atermelon, mangoes, and figs all have long histories of use as aphrodisiacs.Nuts: almonds promote fertility and an increase in sexual energy. Pine nuts contain high levels of zinc, wh

    d in fertility and are a natural stimulant for women. Nuts packed full of L-arginine include; walnuts, peanu

    nd cashews, which will help with performance issues in men and women.

    Seafood: oysters are the poster boy aphrodisiac dish and also rich in zinc, which can help with male fert

    otency and sex drive. Salmon and other fatty fish like mackerel and sardines are great sources of heart-heal

    mega-3 fatty acids, which can also help improve mood, to strengthen the aura for love and desire.

    Meat: provides much needed protein and zinc for an increase in male stamina, as well as fertility. Turkey

    ef are the best two meats. If meat is not on the menu, beans are an excellent substitute.

    Spices: chili peppers are loaded with capsaicin, a compound known to stimulate nerve endings and rev up

    ulse, just like a romantic interlude. Ginger stimulates the circulatory system and improves blood flow for anmproved performance in bed. Licorice, mustard seed and anise seed also increase interest and strengthen the

    ura to attract love.

    Honey: the nectar of Aphrodite is rich in boron, which helps the metabolism of estrogen and increases the

    vel of testosterone in the blood to increase sexual drive in both men and women. Honey is a great source o

    tamins that aid in testosterone production. It also increases fertility in women and provides a magnetic boo

    e aura.

    Red wine: women, this one is for you. Red wine contains high levels of resveratrol, which is an antioxida

    nown for the ability to increase estrogen. Women need estrogen for sexual desire. The red wines that strike

    asculine tone such as, Pinots, Burgundy, or Cabernet Sauvignon, work best.Caffeine: a cup of java or tea helps blood flow, which will improve bedroom performance for both men an

    BeautforMindBodyandSoul

    By Alternatives Beauty Editor Roberta Rugg

    he Spiritual Side of Beautyhat makes a person beautiful? Have you ever looked at someone who truly glows from the insided realized they didnt have any special or extra-ordinary features, but had a charisma that drewople to them?

    My mother was like that. She passed away at age 92 and even though her face held the deep wrinkles of age,s radiant. Although her makeup was sparse, just a bit of lipstick; her hair short and nails manicured, she was nevmplete without her hoop earrings! Her infectious smile, laughter and love of family and friends were among hereatest attributes, but it was her deep faith and love of God that touched everyone she met. She truly exuded spiritauty! This sort of attractiveness that starts on the inside can be seen and found at any age from children whotinctively gravitate to each other; the natural born leaders; to those who give tireless of themselves, such as Motheresa, the Dalai Lama or Mahatma Gandhi. What do they have? Besides compassion, humility and courage, I think

    ner peace; an inner calm and a sense of embracing more than just themselves and more than just outward appearaThey are comfortable in their own skin, no matter what that skin looks like. How can we achieve this?In future columns I will share behind the scenes tips and secrets on everything from skin care, makeup, nails

    d fashion to specialty columns on anti- aging and plastic surgery. I will take into consideration the whole body, m

    d spirit approach to show that to shine on the outside you must first glow from within.t before that journey begins, I ask you to first go to your inner core. Are you feeling depressed; lonely? Have you bough a stressful time and cant seem to clearly see the path laid out for you? Whatever is going on in your mind wect your body and your spirit. You need to let go and listen to that quiet voice inside you that is there to help you

    There are ways to tap into that voice meditation, yoga, prayer, a walk outside, a hike up a mountain, sittingiet, beautiful spot, or simply closing your eyes and breathing deeply and mindfully.perience it now. Close your eyes and breathe in deeply. As you breathe out, visualize letting go of your stress, youar, anxiety or anything else that is holding you back from being you. Visualize these feelings as you exhale andnsport them from your body. Now continue doing this until you feel totally relaxed and slightly sleepy. Then retuur normal rate of breathing and listen to the quietness of your soul. Your aim is to cultivate a positive relationshiitude between the body, mind and spirit so it can begin the healing process

    Exercise, especially when practiced mindfully, is a true gift to the spirit. What do I mean by mindfully? If you vercise as a chore, it will do little good. Studies have even shown that exercise can be detrimental if you are going

    ough it as drudgery and not as something exciting and fun. So find something that you really want to do and thatn put your whole body and mind into. Exercise is known to reduce risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and even ncers. It strengthens, tightens and tones your bones and muscles and is known to increase the longevity of your liercise as a beauty treatment has far reaching efects and its free!

    f youre sore and tired, a simple and soothing touch like a massage would be a great place to start. It canrease circulation, boost your immunity, relieve stress and soothe pain from injury or surgery. At the same time, aial massage can nourish the skin leaving it radiant and glowing; help slow the process that contributes to wrinkleng and sagging. Sounds too good to be true? It is not!

    Along with all the practices above you may want to do something as simple as taking a long relaxing bath, rebook, writing in a journal or connecting with an old friend. And sometimes, the best healing, which contributes toalthy, attractive glowing skin, takes place when we do nothing - just sleep, rest and meditate.

    Finally, beauty of any kind whether in sickness and in health, radiates from the soul - its that positive outlooat glow, that can-do anything attitude. My hope is that each month while traveling the road of exploring everynceivable aspect of beauty, I will supply you with the tools and incentive to achieve that beauty which we are alleking!

    Changing Your Emotional Heart Rhythm Pattern

    By Cathy Schuttler

    Many people believe that emotions just flutter through us on a whim, without control. Research has actually shown however, that you ce a lot more control over your emotional well-being than you might think.a muscle that needs to be exercised, anyone can build up their emotional muscle. As long as they are willing to devote some time and parn to harness this ability; it is entirely within the realm of possibility for anyone!

    Both negative and positive emotional states can and do have an impact on the body. In fact, up until a few years ago there were no stusubject of positive emotions. Most of the studies to date focused entirely on either pathological behaviors or the effects of negative mentalorcement on the body (hostility, depression, anxiety, and stress). All this is changing, and the new research is exciting!

    Researchers have learned that there is a way to connect with your heart, both in the physical world and in the metaphysical emotiononly is the heart affected by physical factors such as food, exercise, and cholesterol, but also by poetry, philosophy, religion, and motivatioaking. When you reinforce a new, happier emotion, by then changing your behavior while focusing on maintaining this uplifting emotion, yoedback system that spirals up and can actually change your heart pattern and physiology.

    The different systems in the body (heart rhythms, nervous system, immune system, and hormonal systems) all react and respond diffetive reinforcement can bolster the immune system, enhance hormonal and nervous system balance, and actually disrupt pain. By harnessty and acknowledging how positive emotions work, you can transform your negative stress into a regenerative positive force.

    Researchers have also found that positive emotions can smooth the heart rhythm patterns that allow for cortical or higher brain functioversely, negative emotions (like stress) and disordered heart rhythms are detrimental to a persons ability to think clearly. This explains whyple are stressed they often make mistakes or make decisions that they later regret.

    Another fascinating discovery was that the electromagnetic field generated by the heart changes as the heart rhythm changed. This fien be measured from across the room! As you feel and experience different emotions your heart and main organs are actually carrying thestional patterns right into the electromagnetic field, like 'waves'.

    This electromagnetic field affects the environment around us and influences people around us too. Thus the term, environment of strcombined aspects of the physical heart and the emotional stimulus are referred to as the energetic heart. The field acts as a conductor of

    gy patterns produced by the heart. In a nutshell, your positive or negative energy and attitudes can have an effect on other people by radiaugh your electromagnetic field! So if you feel an honest positive emotion such as compassion, then you can convey that feeling to another well as experience your physical heart and emotional state come into balance.

    If you were to attach a heart monitor to watch your pulse, you would see that your heart rhythm pattern can change as your feelings chearchers have learned that we can sync up certain heart patterns, and learn to understand their meaning with insight into our emotional staance, smooth and coherent heart patterns yield a sense of solidity and security. Conversely, feelings of anxiety or stress are reflected in heability patterns as looking jagged and incoherent.

    When you learn how to get in touch with your energetic heart, you can change your heart rhythm patterns to another pattern when yossed, and your feelings will follow accordingly. Your mind then becomes clearer. You can sync your brains electrical rhythms with your hearhms and feelings. With this adjustment you will gain a new perspective; you will generate a positive emotion, which will lead to pushing asidss. You become more coherent, which expands your perception, allows you to make better decisions, feel more content with life, even sleeultimately live happier and more stress free!

    ese times of transition can be exciting, fun and start us on a great adventure

    rrounding the change can hold us back from truly moving forward.

    Sitting on the bench at the end of my routine beach

    walk, I tend to let my eyes relax into a hypnotized sta

    un-focused and staring out into the shimmer that pop

    up from every wrinkle of the oceans skin. The only

    thing that brings my pupils direct is the occasional pof dolphinsas they organize a buffet with smallschoolsof fish. I get so enthralled with their wildmethods and movementswhen they surface, when

    they blow, and Ive even witnessed a pair jumping

    completely out of the water. Dolphins are amazing

    creatures. Yet the most magical creature of the sea is

    even believed to exist.

    Late in the evening just before dusk, if you walk all the wa

    out onto the end of pier when its deserted, you might get

    lucky enough to see her. You have to slowly and quietly

    approach with the purest of energy and intentions. She

    knows you are there even before you are. Dont fool your

    into thinking she doesnt. If you get a short glimpse its

    only because she felt you worthy.

    r beauty is beyond comprehension. Her hair is long, thick, flowing and as wavy as the sea itself. The golden tint of her

    own skin is a color we humans could never replicate. The valley of her back and stomach marry her identity into scales

    Cosmic ChatWith Maria Shaw Lawson

    ear Mariaam at a crossroads in life. I have been living with a man (June 4, 1964) for seven years.have waited for him to propose for the past five and got nothing more than a cheapold plated promise ring! I have helped him secure a home, paid for some of his kidsrivate school costs and paid offsome of his gambling debts. He is a former alcoholic.his past summer has been difficult because we have been fighting a lot. I cant seem

    o leave him! Every time I think I am strong enough to say goodbye for good, I end upoing back because he has some crisis he needs me to help with or something. Butow I think I am ready because I found him flirting with his ex wife on his texts. (Yes, Iooped to snooping). I know I should leave. But what I want to know is why cant Iave? Will I ever leave? I am born September 4, 1960 around 7:10a.m. New Orleans,

    rom M.B. New Orleans

    Dear M.B.

    I studied both of your charts. First thing first, this man is not going to commit to you; not now orver. I feel he is a big kid who will not grow up and has no intentions of changing the status of yourelationship. Your chart says you are being used. You know this! I could go through all of the good, bad and

    he ugly about this relationship but you are already well aware. Your real issue is YOU. Why cant youeave?

    Astrologically, there is a square between your sun signs; to the degree. So there will always be anundercurrent in this relationship that something is not right. Theres seven days in a week. Three you getlong. The other four, you dont. Hes not going to change. That challenging square does make for goodexual energy at times and thats one of the reasons you have stayed in this relationship. But possibly the

    biggest reason is that as a Virgo woman, you need to be needed. You need to fix things....and people. Themore needy or more dysfunctional, the more interested you are. You may not even realize this on aonscious level. Its as if you have to save and serve stamped on your forehead. Im not trying to get downn you. Its just you have to find something else to save or fix to feed you need.

    You also have a habit of creating patterns in the beginning of a relationship that once establishedannot be reversed easily. In this relationship, you started by doing everything for this man. You volunteeredo take care of everything. It was never even. You didn't give him a chance to invest anything. You didverything! From paying his bills, to taking care of his kids, to enabling his addictions and more. You

    needed to prove your worth to him because your self worth was low whenyou entered the relationship.Your chart shows you ended a relationship and felt lonely when you met him. Not wanting to be

    lone, you jumped at the chance at this relationship, was swept way sexually and set bad patterns with him.You trained him to expect you would do everything. So he didnt have to invest much. Your Pisces risingign feels guilty a lot and takes on other peoples problems,making them your own. It also causes you to bendecisive, going back and forth, on whether to leave or stay.

    osmic Chat continued

    what do you do?Around age 50, Virgo women start to ask themselves Whats in it for me? They basically live their en

    es for everyone else, making others happy. But at mid life, they want to live their lives for themselves. This isere you are at. In order to fulfill the need to be needed, I suggest finding a career or volunteer situation whu can be of service, fix things and help people. You should also work on making and sticking to a decisionsrd to do for an analytic Virgo with a an indecisive Pisces rising sign. But sometimes making a decision, any

    cision is better than being stuck.Your chart says you are coming out of a challenging financial period so you will be able to support you

    your own. You could also meet a new relationship after the first of the year with mars oppose your sun butuld caution you and tell you to wait until after youve changed some patterns so you dont draw a similar

    uation. The best time to make the break will be on the new moon next month. You need to leave beforevember or you will likely stay for past the holidays.

    Now I must warn you, he doesn't want you to leave. You are an asset to him but he doesnt want to makmmitment either. His chart shows he has deceived you in the past and will be talking more to his ex over thidays. I do not see this relationship serving any purpose for you any longer.

    If youre worried about being alone you will not be. Jupiter trines your house of relationships next sumd into the early part of 2014, so you will draw someone special. However Neptune is transiting there too. S

    ve to be careful of drawing a new man who has addictions or is hiding something. Do not wear your heart our sleeve until youve learned more about him.

    There is also a strong past life tie between you and the current lover so you probably feel you owe himderstand that the karma has been paid in full!

    You can do this. But you need to formulate a good game plan and have things in order before you movancially and emotionally otherwise you could go back. Good luck to you. Making this break will change youtiny. You will be in love again and in a good relationship. Just remember, do not repeat old patterns and all fine.

    Law of Abundance ChecksMany of you who have followed me over the years, know about the Law of Abundance checks. But for those oyou who havent, Im happy to share this information with our Alternatives Spirit Guide readers. For the pastseveral years, I have been giving people specific dates to write checks out to themselves based on fortunateastrological days for prosperity and manifesting. Basically, one should make a check out and sign it from "The

    Law of Abundance". You should carry the check with you. I also work in radio and have shared this theory wilisteners. One woman reported back to me that she won $40,000. Others won gas cards, lottery and bingo. Mclients have told me of landing a wonderful job after writing a check or receiving upgrades and perks. Even ifyou're a skeptic, why not try it?

    Deb, a follower, recently wrote: "I wrote my very first law of abundance check on June 30th. I was thankful that mycompany offered me the opportunity to work overtime. What a blessing: I haven't seen any since 2010! But today (outnowhere) I was given a chance to take my niece on an all expenses paid mini vacation!! Sometimes- life is sweet! THANYOU Maria!"

    The theory behind the Law of Abundance checks or LOA checks is that you are putting positive energy out intuniverse when you write one on a specific astrologically good day. The cosmic energy combined with your owenergy helps the law of abundance work. Here's what you do:

    Take a check from an active checking account

    Make it out to you Do not date the check Sign it "The Law of Abundance" Do not put in a dollar amount because this limits how much the universe can bring you

    Do not void the check in your bank book, just note that it's for The Law ofAbundance Do not destroy the check unless you have closed the account Make out a new check when new dates come up ONLY after your have received a blessing. You should

    be carrying one check at a time. You'll find dates listed in Alternatives Spirit Guide each month of in mannual Moon calendar available at mariashaw.com website store.

    Carry the check with you and watch what happens!In a matter or hours, days and weeks you should see money or blessings come in! Remember prosperity it doesn't alwaymean cash in hand. Good luck!

    A Letter from Alternatives Paranormal Editor, Joe LawsBeyond!...with Lawson Paranormal

    Welcome to Beyond with Lawson Paranormal; your guide to thsupernatural. My name is Joseph Lawson. Ive been searching fanswers to other worldly questions my entire life. I grew up inPontiac Michigan, with the Pontiac General Cemetery literally, inbackyard. My interest in the paranormal goes way beyond theaverage person. I want to welcome each of you to my monthlysection of Alternatives Spirit Guide and share with you myadventures in the supernatural and everything it encompasses.

    of my column will be devoted to education, ghost hunts, the lateequipment on the market, interviews with respected investigatorlocal and national levels. Ill also provide features on horror movreviews, haunted sites and more. In my special October edition, take a look at the best places to celebrate Halloween and the mo

    popular (man made) haunted houses to visit.The investigation group I founded, Lawson Paranormal, is desigto lead groups on actual investigations across the country to acareas and teach folks the art of ghost hunting.

    w Im not going to claim that Im the be all and end all in the industry. Nobody is and if they tell you theyeyre lying. NOBODY knows it all and thats what makes this field so interesting; the very fact that no m

    w much we learn about the other side, we will never understand everything until we actually GET to the oe.

    Ill warn you right out of the box, Im very open and honest about stuff. If I dont know something, Ill teu. I also dont believe that just because you have a television or radio show or authored a book about theranormal, that youre an expert. This business can be very self absorbed and some folks who claim to beranormal experts are down right arrogant and misleading. Ive never understood this since Ive always fe

    at we were here to HELP people, not dismiss their concerns. Some high profile investigators dismiss cliening them that they are just imagining things or theres a very reasonable explanation to what they think

    eyve seen. Then others are unnecessarily dramatic and make something out of nothing!Spirits dont perform on command and thats one of the things I like to stress in my classes I host,

    cause as I learned during my recent Lizzie Borden House investigation, they don't always answer when y

    nt them to. Case in point, I was doing an investigation at the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, MA. Dure investigation, I asked over and over for confirmation that we were talking to Lizzie herself, through the ue worlds best EMF meter, my wife Maria Shaw Lawson (The National Enquirer Astrologer/best psychicedium I've ever seen and back seat driver/person who tells me to use an umbrella when its raining becauod knows I couldn't have figured it was wet outside myself) and actual communication equipment. I askedntinuously, What is your name? No response. But when I went to sleep later, my bedroom got extremed and a ghostly figure of a woman with frustration in her voice (not my Maria this time) leaned over my hd said WHAT IS YOUR NAME???!!!

    hink I got my answer!Youll read of my personal experiences in the Alternatives Beyond with Lawson Paranormal pages

    sharing stories on the The Lizzie Borden Murders, Gettysburg, Salem Witch Trials, haunted New Orlean

    d more.uch of what Ill share are personal experiences that I've found many groups dismiss, namely because then't see or catch something. As for Lawson Paranormals mission statement, Ill steal a line from one of m

    vorite movies of all time, Ghostbusters, when Pete Venkman, Ray Stanz and Egon Spangler film theirmmercial ending saying, Were ready to believe you!

    We have a lot of cool events coming that include investigations you're invited to join us on. Our pagelude a section that I will devote to you, the reader to share your interests and findings too. When you go e of Lawson Paranormals hunts, I want to hear your take on what happened and what you saw ( or dide). So sit back and enjoy the ride, we will get to know more about the other side; what's around therner...what's hiding in the dark.e Lawson

    Top 5 Most Haunted

    Cities in the Countryy Joseph Lawson, Paranormal Editor

    These are my picks based on myprofessional opinion and investigationsas well as personal experiences.

    5. Key West FL -Yes, I do realize that this may come as a shock to many of you, as it did to me..until I investigated it myself. Key West is rich in history with pirates and treasures. Strange, bizarr

    murders, some never solved, helped Key West to nab my Number 5 Most Haunted spot. The homhe Southern Most Point is also the home of the world famous Robert the Doll, a cursed doll thnow resides at the East Martello Museum there. Roberts powers have left even the rich and famand those usually skeptic, begging for mercy.

    4. Salem MA - Twenty people were hung or killed and many more falsely accused of witchcraft.Americas first horror story is set in Salem 1692. Today, Salem is an enchanting and beautiful NewEngland town with a dark side shrouded in terror, greed and blood. The Witchcraft Trials createdhistory that brought on the demise of the Puritan religion. Stay overnight in room #7 at the Salem f you dare!

    3. Savannah GA - Just knowing that you are walking on a massive unmarked graveyard is enouo help you understand why Savannah makes it on my list. For hundreds of year, this charming OSouthern city suffered major fires and tragedies. Thousands died and gravesite markers were moor destroyed. Bodies are being discovered even today, as city workers and contractors uncovergraves under sidewalks and streets. You can feel the energy of lost souls around every corner oSpanish moss draped neighborhoods. Check out The Moon River Brewing company for dinner,known for spirit activity.

    2. Gettysburg PA - 51,000 killed, injured or captured in just three days, leaves a sorrowful psyc

    car on the town of Gettysburg. When you visit the battlefields you can sense that the Civil War isrom over. Many lost and wandering souls dont know theyre really dead. They continue to fight ahats been over for 150 years. Its pretty much a guarantee you'll have a personal experience heCheck out The Dobbin Inn or The Jenny Wade House for a ghostly encounter.

    1. New Orleans LA - In a city ruled by the sign of Scorpio, which relates to sex, voodoo, mayhemand ghosts, a walk through the Vieux Carre, can introduce you to the citys underworld like neverbefore. Sensitive types can easily pick up on the energy here. Youll feel like youre being watchas the veil is thinner here between the earth plane and the ethers, especially on Bourbon and RoyStreets. Maria put it this way, During the day the living rule the city. The dead rule the night. Che

    out St. Louis cemetery #1 and the Hotel Monteleones 15th floor.
