Many of you know my good friend, Ann Ulrich Miller, through her wonderful monthly newsletter, "The Star Beacon." If you’re interested in UFOs, extraterrestrials, the paranormal, healing, earth changes, spirituality, etc., visit Ann's newsletter online.

Ann recently moved back home to Colorado following her husband’s death in Ohio. In addition to publishing "The Star Beacon," she’s recently taken a position at the Denver Examiner as the new Denver Relationship Transition Examiner. Her first article has just been posted. She’ll be writing numerous articles each month to discuss relationship transitions, including the death of a loved one, a change in marital status, the birth of a child -- that sort of thing.

The articles will generally be short. Ann expects to explore a whole range of relationship topics in the weeks ahead. You can read her first article here.

Please feel free to forward Ann’s articles to any family and friends you think would be interested.

Chief Joseph Weekly Newsletter: The "Tuning In" Movie

Fri, 29 May 2009 14:06:07 -0600

Here's an update on the "Tuning In" movie, which I know many of you have seen.

For those who haven’t seen it, it’s a full-length documentary film featuring six of today’s prominent channels and their spirit guides. The movie is the work of two Hollywood film industry veterans, writer-director David Thomas and producer Matthiew Klinck.

Featured channels (and their spirit guides) are Darryl Anka (Bashar), Lee Carroll (Kryon), Geoffrey Hoppe (Tobias), Wendy Kennedy (The Pleiadian Collective), and Shawn Randall (Torah) -- and also Chief Joseph and me.

You can now watch "Tuning In" online, for a small fee -- I believe it’s $4.99 (US dollars). Here's the URL.

Also, you can see some of the original movie scenes David and Matt did not include in the final film version. These are free, and you can see them at YouTube.

Many thanks for this updated "Tuning In" information go to Chief Joseph’s and my dear friend, Barbara Clark. Barbara is a qualified EFT practitioner and member of the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques. She specializes in permanent holistic weight loss, pain management, and stress relief. Visit her two websites here and here.

Chief Joseph Weekly Newsletter: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Tue, 19 May 2009 13:54:58 -0600

Lately we’ve been talking about "bad" news in our newsletters. The mainstream media are filled with bad and ugly news. Chief Joseph, as always, advises us not to focus on it too much, and to look for all the good in our lives. The good outweighs the bad and the ugly.

Apparently lots of folks all over the USA are beginning to shift their "doom-and-gloom" attitudes to a more positive outlook. That by itself can make a HUGE difference.

Check out the GOOD news in this Washington Post article from only 14 days ago

Chief Joseph Weekly Newsletter: Smelling the Roses

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:10:30 -0600

My little town in the USA's northern Rocky Mountains used to be a pretty laid-back place. Not much traffic, not much noise, not much pollution, lots of peace and quiet, lots of friendly folks. It was, and still is, a great place to live. But lately I've noticed a trend more typical of big cities, not little western towns.

Chief Joseph Weekly Newsletter: Jesus and Mary Magdalene

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:37:42 -0600

Many of you are familiar with Circle of Light who, over the years, have published books on sexuality, soulmates, twin flames, Christ consciousness, wise animal souls, and more. You can find some of their books here.

They now have a brand-new book coming out, "Jesus and Mary Magdalene: The Eternal Heart of Love, Volume One.

In this first of a series, Jesus (Jeshua) reveals through mystic Yael Powell the never-before-told personal story of his life on Earth. Given in the first person, Jeshua chronicles his childhood, passionate Twin Flame Love and marriage to Mary Magdalene, their travels to different places on Earth and how they anchored the patterns of awakening to Love for the New Age that is now!

It sounds exciting and fascinating, especially since this topic has been hotly debated down through the centuries.

Chief Joseph Weekly Newsletter: Twitter

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 11:11:11 -0600

The past several months a whole bunch of friends and colleagues have been telling me about Twitter and how great it is. I haven't participated much in social media, although I know that's all the rage today. But I was persuaded to give Twitter a try.

I set up an account only a few days ago, and have yet to learn my way around in it. But if any of you are interested in connecting with me this way, here's my Twitter address

Chief Joseph Podcast for February 6, 2009: Limiting Beliefs

Fri, 6 Feb 2009 15:01:47 -0700

You probably remember last week's newsletter article, "Limiting Beliefs." We've decided to take that article and adapt it as a podcast of the same title.

For many folks, this new year of 2009 has gotten off to what amounts to a dark scary scenario of doom and gloom. People are running scared and their limiting beliefs are wreaking havoc in many aspects of their lives.

Listen to "Limiting Beliefs" here.

This podcast is slightly longer than usual, but it still won't take much of your time -- only a bit over seven minutes total listening time.

Chief Joseph Weekly Newsletter: Limiting Beliefs

Tue, 3 Feb 2009 11:24:40 -0700

Last week after we published our "Money" podcast, we received a fair amount of feedback. With one exception, it was all positive. In the exception, the letter writer talked about limiting beliefs. So we've decided to do this week's article on that very subject.

Chief Joseph Newsletter--01/24/09--How To Create Money & Abundance

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:57:06 -0700

I'm sure many of you know of Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, the team who channel spirit guides Orin and DaBen. They've been around many years and have produced countless spiritual books, courses, music, and more.

When I first became interested in channeling, back in the mid-1980s, one of the first things I did was to read Sanaya's and Duane's book, "Opening To Channel." That book literally changed my life and ultimately led me to Chief Joseph.

Another book they've written is "Creating Money." I've read it many times. This step-by-step guide to creating money and abundance was given to Sanaya and Duane by their spirit guides, Orin and DaBen. It's priceless.

Creating money and abundance is a topic that has come up often, perhaps more often than any other, in private readings with Chief Joseph and me over many years now. So many people are struggling with abundance, or the lack of it. And yet abundance is our birthright as children of the Universe, of God.

Some of you are familiar with Neil Longley. I've talked about Neil before in our weekly newsletters. Neil is a radio broadcaster in the UK, and has interviewed Chief Joseph and me on his radio show.

Neil recently created a wonderful teleseminar, "Learning How To Create Money." The course is based on Sanaya Roman's work. One of the course's core teachings is YOU are the source of all your abundance. Your abundance does NOT depend on other people, your employer, the government, or the economy.

You can get a "taste" of Neil's course here.

It isn't often I recommend programs like this. But I think this one will give you some powerful, spiritually-based tools to create the life of your dreams. I highly recommend you take a look.

In Joy, John

P.S. Full disclosure here: I will make a small fee if you sign up for Neil's course. But you stand to make far more than that small fee.

Chief Joseph Weekly Newsletter: Year of Empowerment

Tue, 6 Jan 2009 13:55:52 -0700

As I've mentioned before in this newsletter, I no longer make New Year's resolutions or set goals for the next 12 months. However, this past holiday season, I've been "taking inventory" of my life. Especially the last several years.

Those years, as we all know, have heralded many changes and challenges, some pretty scary. 2009 promises to be no different.
