"Zade Holder has always been a free-spirited young woman, from a long dynasty of tarot-card readers, fortunetellers, and practitioners of magick. Growing up in a small town and never quite fitting in, Zade is determined to forge her own path. She leaves her home in Tennessee to break free from her overprotective mother Dela, the local resident spellcaster and fortuneteller. Zade travels to Las Vegas and uses supernatural powers to become part of a premiere magic show led by the infamous magician Charles Spellman. Zade fits right in with his troupe of artists and misfits. After all, when everyone is slightly eccentric, appearing 'normal' is much less important. Behind the scenes of this multimillion-dollar production, Zade finds herself caught in a love triangle with Mac, the show's good-looking but rough-around-the-edges technical director and Jackson, the tall, dark, handsome and charming bandleader. Zade's secrets and the struggle to choose between Mac or Jackson creates reckless tension during the grand finale of the show. Using Chaos magick, which is known for being unpredictable, she tests her abilities as a spellcaster farther than she's ever tried and finds herself at death's door. Her fate is left in the hands of a mortal who does not believe in a world of real magick, a fortuneteller who knew one day Zade would put herself in danger and a dagger with mystical powers"--Amazon.com

All Emotions Are Movements In The Energy Body. This simple sentence is a revolution in the approach to all human emotions - and not just in the "control of negative emotions." Human emotions are at the root of everything that human beings do, and it is in emotional currency we evaluate whether we are living good lives, or not. Life isn't about money, it's all about feelings. Feeling happy, feeling loved, feeling connected, feeling safe, feeling joyous - that's what we're working for, that's what we strive towards, and that's what we want out of life. EmoTrance is the direct path to feeling those good emotions. EmoTrance works directly with the interface where we feel our emotions as REAL FEELINGS in the body. If your heart is breaking - where do you feel that in your body? Show me with your hands. Now we know where the pain is, now we can heal it. But EmoTrance goes further than that. Once the injury is healed, emotions change - of course! Instead of pain, we begin to feel peace at first, but then, as the energy flow improves and speeds up, the emotions change again - into positive emotions of joy, happiness, delight. These are energized end states, and the real sign of emotional health and happiness. EmoTrance is a set of techniques that takes a person from pain through peace to joy. This is done by pure and powerful energy work, putting the healing where it belongs - in the energy body. But EmoTrance is not just for healing the broken heart. EmoTrance shows us that ... Energy is real. It's all around us. It is within us. Energy has the power to make us happy or sad.
