​Have you noticed big fluctuations in the energies as of late? Many intense and heavy emotions are being brought to the surface for examination, healing and release. However there is also a more refined lightness left behind each time we cycle through this process. At this time of heightened spiritual evolution, our Souls, in their advanced wisdom, may even be bringing up life-times of spiritual and energetic debris to go through this process of transmutation. Even advanced energetic codings that have been passed down through the ancestral lines are being brought to the surface to go through this process of alchemy. 

If you've been mired in these heavier energies, just know there is light at the end of the tunnel... literally. We are moving towards the Summer Solstice and as each day increases in length and light, we are also moving through those vibrational frequencies just as Gaia is. So stay tuned into her patterns and rhythms, connect with Earth energy every day, anchoring yourself in, grounding and allowing her to heal and align you.

If you are feeling off balance or energetically depleted, take a ride on the Crystal Bed, Amethyst Biomat or schedule a private session, leaving it to Spirit to guide and direct what is needed. 

Check the schedule, perhaps an energetic Cord Cutting or the Empath Workshop this month is just the right thing to help you create a shift and some forward momentum....or my new 11:11 -The Wake Up Call workshop. Join us for our (almost famous) Wednesday night Chakra Meditation or one of the new Restorative Yoga or Yoga Nidra Classes. 

Special Guest Jo Jayson is back from N.Y. with a new workshop and her amazing art work will be available all day long during the Trunk Show that day. Private Readings with Jo are sold out but we are taking a wait list...please call us ASAP if you are interested! 

Love and extra LIGHT,

Never get a bad Reading again! You should never leave a Psychic or Mediumship Reading feeling frightened, confused or ripped off. In a good reading, you should laugh, cry, gain clarity, be treated respectfully, have your specific questions answered and leave feeling better than when you arrived...Not because someone told you what you wanted to hear but because a genuine shift took place creating a space for healing and forward movement, what ever the topic may be. Stop settling for bad Readings with vague answers, identical readings given to multiple people, made up dead people you can't recognize and a feeling you just wasted your hard earned money.

Experience the difference a REAL Reading can make in your life at our Award Winning Wellness Center. Readings are filled with compassion, integrity and authentic connections you can feel as owner, Psychic Medium Amy Marino skillfully navigates through your personalized Reading.

​Welcome to August on Cape Cod! Whether you are relaxing and enjoying the lazy days of Summer on the Cape or hustling and bustling during your busiest time of year, take a minute to breathe. Take a moment to center and ground yourself. Now take another breathe and be grateful, for something, for everything. Feels good right? Self-care is essential to success in any aspect of your life. When you take time out to smile, play, regenerate and reboot, everyone benefits. Not only yourself, but those around you will benefit from a happier, healthier you.  
 
My family and I recently took 3 days and went to 6 Flags Amusement Park. By the time we got back, it felt like a mini vacation. Shortly after, my 11 year old daughter asked me if I was stressed out before we went on our trip. When I asked ‘why?’, she replied ‘Well…you seem much better now.’  Yikes! She was right and I hadn’t realized how much I needed a break but our families and others close to us will see it and feel it.
 
The point is, make time for yourself. You don’t have to be a martyr. You and everyone around you will be much happier when you are your best self.  Whether you have 5 or 10 minutes to just stop in and take a breathe, 20 minutes to experience a unique Etheric Crystal Bed journey, a half an hour or more for an energy session or reading or an evening open to attend a crystal bowl meditation or take a class…indulge yourself in these small reprieves from the day to day pushes and pulls we feel. Remember, when you keep your vibration high, it reverberates out to all around you, everywhere you go and creates little energetic shifts that go out and out like ripples created by throwing pebbles in a pond. Hope to see you soon.
 
Love & Light,
Amy Marino

Happy Memorial Day and welcome Summer as we begin a new again with vibrant incoming energies. If you’ve been feeling stagnant and stuck in a holding pattern, now is the time to shake off the sleep. The time for napping in the poppies is over…It’s on to the Emerald City! With the New Super Moon just passed, this is the time to release your dreams out into the world. Get clear on what you want and get out there and make it happen. Don’t be afraid to take a risk. Ask spirit for help and don’t worry about the how. Spirit is really good at working out the how.

If you are overwhelmed and not sure where to start, start with a list. There is energetic movement and manifestation energy in bringing something through you, on to paper. This will help you get clarity and figure out what you want as well as the beginning steps you need to take to get you there. Each day, take at least one small action step towards your dream. Holding that vision and intent focus daily is a powerful manifester. There is a reason your dreams are within you, that you long for something else. Listen to the whispers of your soul and act.
With spirit, all things are possible and all doors can be opened.

Myself and everyone here at The Sanctuary would like to thank you for allowing us to be a part of the beautiful community of Light here on Cape Cod. We are honored to receive another Cape Cod Life Magazine Reader’s Choice Award for ‘Best Mid Cape Wellness Center 2017’! Thank you so much for taking the time to vote for us!

New Summer Hours begin this week through Labor Day! Beginning June 1st, 2017 we will be open 10 AM – 6 PM Monday - Friday and 10 AM - 5 PM on Saturday & Sunday. We look forward to your next visit!

Love & Light,

​A Lightworker is someone with a global mission to help others, people, animals or the planet, written into their Divine Life Purpose. One of the most important and challenging tasks of the Lightworker is keeping our vibrations high. We set an example for our families, our communities and those still awakening to a higher level of consciousness.  Not by trying to convince them of our beliefs but holding ourselves to a higher standard of ethics and behavior, doing all things with love and letting that ripple out, touching all around us.
 
By anchoring in and remaining in a high vibration of peace and personal awareness, we can more easily abstain from engaging in dramas that would suck our energy and dim our Light. We can avoid lowering our vibration by engaging in gossip which feeds the ego with the delusion of power by holding and divulging secrets about others. We can let go of low vibrational 3D ideas of competition which only pits Lightworker against Lightworker and feeds fears of lack, loss and brings density. When we hurt others, even in passive aggressive ways such as these, we are hurting ourselves.
 
All of these low vibrations come from the seeds of fear. Fears that we are not worthy, we are not good enough, we are not whole or that we will be alone or without provisions or love.  All of these beliefs are illusions of the 3D world that keep Lightworkers mired and blocked from higher levels of consciousness, fuller connection to Spirit, unlimited abundance and instant manifestation.
 
Let’s support one another and our community by keeping these lower vibrations at bay. Let’s raise one another up with words our encouragement, with support and with love. There is no competition when you understand that Spirit directs all for what is needed for each person’s highest and best. Lightworkers will attract those clients that match their vibration in some way for the help that is needed.  This is another good reason to keep our expectations of ourselves, our behavior and our words high. We are all imperfectly human and we may still get entrapped by these thoughts but as we ascend into our evolution as Crystalline Light Beings, there is no place these things.  As Wayshowers, is up to us to lead by example and thus Light the path for others and it is up to each person on this planet to shift their own vibration as their personal journey unfolds. The more of us that hold the bar higher and the Light brighter, the faster the rest of the world will catch up, finding the path we have illuminated.
 
Love, Light, Peace and Good Vibrations,
Amy

When many people are starting out on their spiritual journey, which usually begins shortly after a sense of spiritual awakening, there are certain changes they may begin to experience. During this time, you may feel different than you had before. You may begin to think differently. Your priorities may have changed in that the things that were important or interesting to you before suddenly don't matter as much or begin to feel hollow. You may begin to question many of your beliefs. You may find yourself drawn to meditation or yoga or even spiritual and paranormal topics. You may feel a pull towards learning more about your past lives, your angels and spirit guides and the healing arts or your own intuitive abilities. You may attend some classes and you go home feeling great, so at peace, so connected. Then your other world kicks in....maybe your mate is aggravated you were out so long or the kids are fighting when yo arrive home. Maybe after a few days, work starts to penetrate that high vibration and bring you down. After a while you begin to feel like you did before when you were asleep. When you are able to fit another class or event into your schedule, you get to spend time around like minded people, you get to have spiritually stimulating and enlightening conversations with others who not only don't think you are crazy but are experiencing many of the same things themselves! You raise your vibration, you leave feeling elated. After a while, the good feelings, the positive attitude, the high vibrations begin to diminish again. At this stage of spiritual transformation, many people begin to feel displaced, separate, awkward with their old friends, relationships, work and ways of thinking and doing things. Many begin to feel as though they have two worlds, their old reality and their new spiritual world. You are almost two different people when you are in each of those worlds. After a while the spiritual world feels so good, you want to stay in that world all the time. But how do you reconcile the two worlds?

I found that to reconcile my two worlds I had to first become 100% authentic. That means feeling confident in myself, accepting of who I am and what I do and not pretending to be "normal" around certain people or groups. It means being my true self all the time and not having to pretend I'm some one else or the old me. I make no apologies for who I've become and have no fear around it. While it can be a bit uncomfortable answering the 'So what do you do?' question, I've found that even though I always wonder what kind of reaction I will get when I say I'm a psychic medium or I own a healing center or I'm a Reiki Master and spiritual counselor or I work with crystal and sound therapies, to my surprise, there is always a positive response, usually followed by 'That's so cool.....' with lots of questions.  

So how do you become authentic with yourself, the people around you and they type of life you are living? You begin with three things:

1. Daily Spiritual Practice. It doesn't matter so much what the practice is, only that you begin to incorporate it daily until your daily spiritual hi-gene becomes just as important as brushing your teeth, showering and washing your hair. This helps to keep your vibration high and clear every day. It should include prayer and or meditation, grounding, shielding, clearing your energy and time for gratitude.

2. Knowledge is power. Attend regular classes and workshops, read books on spiritual subjects you are most attracted to learning. Journal your experiences to see how you growing and transforming over time on your spiritual journey.

​3. You can't do it alone. Bolster your vibration with spiritual community. When you are regularly involved with others of like mind, attending transformational classes and events, or spending time with people on the same spiritual path, that high vibration is reinforced and over time it takes longer between events for it to get low again. 

As you maintain that higher vibration for more sustained periods of time you find people, things and situations transforming in your life to come into alignment with the new spiritual self. Eventually you are in that higher vibration all the time which reverberates out attracting things to you that match that higher vibration until your worlds become one or rather you have stepped wholly and fully into your new personal and spiritual life as your new experience of reality. 

It is a slow process that should not be rushed but be allowed to unfold in it's own divine timing, knowing you are different from every other soul and this journey is not a race but one that we embark upon when we are ready. The journey is the destination and you are exactly where you are meant to be on your path.

Enjoy your journey, you only get to be at the beginning of it once and that is a very sacred place to be. Look for the Lighthouses along the way to guide you, we will keep the Light on and shining brightly to illuminate the path. May Grace walk before you that you move along your path with with ease.

Love & Abundant Light,
​Amy

Happy New Year to all as we enter the unexplored territory of 2017! Many of you are still sensing the energetic unease as high emotions were put on hold a bit for the good tidings of the holidays but have not been fully resolved or released. On Friday, January 20th, our country will usher in a new president who has a new way of thinking and a new way of doing things that has not been seen in politics as of late. No matter how you feel about it, big, inevitable change is coming. Yes, it may feel scary. The unknown always is.
 
Last month I spoke of how many people have been experiencing some type of breakdown/breakthrough in their lives. Like the butterfly emerging from the cocoon, a breakdown of that world and its barriers must occur for the rebirth.
 
On a bigger scale we are going to start to see the breaking apart of some of our political and old, outdated, patriarchal systems. It is no coincidence that it would take a male operating mainly from the root chakra to perpetrate those changes, not a representative of the sacred feminine or the higher sacred masculine.  I have received that one candidate would have been "business as usual" and the other would have been "impotent to perpetrate any real change".  Like the changes or not, as a collective consciousness we have chosen this path as the fast track to get where we are going. A proverbial wrecking ball so to speak.
 
We have put a change maker in place and there is a higher, divine plan to what is happening. Understand that the changes made now will be changed again but a new foundation will have been laid for what is to come next.
 
As we are quickly approaching 2020, the gateway to a new era of 'clear vision', we will see an explosion of new types of technology.  Almost anything will become possible for us to do, create, understand, manifest as we also begin to access new areas of our brain and spiritual awareness.
 
For now, stand in love, not fear. Stand in peace, not separation. Trust, that all is well. Anchor into the Earth and send light to all the dark spaces. Focus on what you can control - yourself and your little patch of garden. Formulate a 3 year plan for where you want to be and what you want to create, as barriers are broken down and new opportunities appear. Things are breaking wide open my friends.  Will you hide in your cocoon, safe and fearful or reemerge the butterfly you have always dreamed of? It is up to you of course.  Me, I choose to fly.
 
I hope you join me on this fantastical journey. We have created a lighthouse together that shines brighter and brighter, attracting more and people to shine their light and help us hold a higher vibration for the local and worldwide community.

Love and Light and may you find your wings in 2017,
Amy Marino

​I find that we tend to go through cycles, just as the seasons do. Right now the leaves have fallen from the trees, shrunken, shriveled, where they will be absorbed back into the Earth. I have found many to be feeling strangely similar right now. You may be experiencing a birthing cycle right now as are many others. Letting go may be required in one way or another. This may feel strange as we leave the warmth and safety of one cycle of our life to begin another new one. However there is an in-between transition time, similar to the baby traveling down the birthing canal to meet its new life. As we move through this birthing canal, it can feel uncomfortable, stagnant, like we are spinning our wheels and not really getting anywhere. Things may appear dark, murky and confusing as we can't quite see where we are headed or get our footing. Or things may seem as if they are spinning out of control, moving faster than we are comfortable with as the changes we have no say in unfold before us. You may feel as if you want to dig your heels into the ground to slow down or try and stop the train.
 
All of these feelings are perfectly normal and will begin to subside once the transition into the new cycle is complete. So try to be still, as the Caterpillar waits inside of its cocoon for the divine timing when it has the strength to leave its warm home and spread its new, moist, wings to experience a new life. This journey through the birthing canal may be requiring you to rest now, lay low in hibernation, as you reserve your energies for what is to come next. It may require much of your time, energy and resources. So, do not worry, all is as it should be. Even the acorn must free-fall to arrive at its next destination of merging with the earth, shedding it's shell and sprouting a new, having taken new form.          
 
During these transitions, be still, stay grounded, take time to go within, rest, nurture yourself, sleep and drink lots of water while you immerse yourself in the sleepy winter dreams of what is to come next, co-creating your story with spirit. Dare to dream it and it can be so.
