The Journey to NOW and Beyond By Alice Stacionis



The Journey to NOW and Beyond

By Alice Stacionis

When Ms. Stacionis contacted me, she explained to me that she that she was an Author, and also into Astrology. Instantly, this peaked my interest because I have loved Astrology since I was a child.

She asked if I would read and her book, and give her an honest review. I said of course I would.

Once I received the book, I was tickled because it was paperback, and it was autographed! It’s not very often you see this anymore, so it truly excited me even more. 

Instantly I began flipping through the pages, and came to an Astrological diagram describing the twelve signs. Without even have read the book yet, I looked over the diagram. I described the twelve signs in positive and negative format. I found mine, then my husbands. I’m positive, he’s negative. Then I found my children and their spouses, they are sets of positives and negatives. Then my mind thought of the saying ‘opposites attract.’ I shook my head to myself, as if to agree, and was mesmerized. I had never thought of it, or the signs in that type of way. (In case you are wondering, I am Leo, my husband is a Pisces.)

I continued on through, “The Journey to NOW and Beyond” and came to a section, and allow me to quote: “---experiencing coincidences, like thinking of someone just before they call or knowing what someone is just about to say.” Have you ever had this happen to you?

These are changes, and according to Ms. Stacionis, these changes are happening at different levels. They are evolutionary changes; many have referenced it as the “Age of Aquarius.” 

If you have read any of my reviews prior, you may remember me mentioning, and quoting the words to the song “Age of Aquarius” by the fifth dimension.

I found a lot of videos on www.youtube.com whereas people are supporting the “Age of Aquarius” however many are saying negative things, and some are saying skeptical things. Everyone has opinions. Here is an example where someone is telling their idea of what the “Age of Aquarius” is:


I also wanted to share this with you, this is 1969, and it is the fifth dimension singing their song:


If you listen closely to the words, you can hear they are explaining that it does have something to do with the moon, and stars, which in itself is Astrology. 

Ms. Stacionis, doesn’t just speak from the top of her head in this book. She did do research, which supports many of her theories. And as you read this book, your eyes will be opened to many new possibilities, and you too will see.

She quotes Albert Einstein throughout, and helps you to understand as well as grasp what is coming, and happening not only to ourselves, but to our life. This book, “The Journey to NOW and Beyond” will help you to see and realize, that things are not just coincidences, they are meant to happen. That maybe something or someone willed you to do this or that. Or, maybe you did know. Maybe your mind is stronger then you are. 

You truly need to read this book, it will open up your mind to an all new reality, and you will see for yourself, that you have the power to see beyond your vision. This is truly a five star read, and truly enlightening. 

My questions for Ms. Stacionis:
1. What made you decide to write this book and how long did it take you?

After my dear friend Dr. Bob Henry passed... he was an MD, then got bored and became a psychiatrist and then got bored and went into hospital administration... retired at 65 and went on to speak on “whole brain thinking” right brain/left brain. He died 20 years later after a very full retirement in speaking and moving toward more alternative ways. We did coffee about once a week and he would tease me about getting my Ph.D over coffee. Shortly after he crossed over he came to me when I was half way napping and said I had a book to write. He knew my response would be “but Bob I am not a writer”.. but when it comes that way you better just DO IT. I had no idea where to start. It took me four and a half years to write this book. Shortly after Bob came to me my 40 year old cousin died and she came to me with the message “Alice you have work to do”. I guess Bob told her to come talk to me.


2. Did you do any special research for your book?
I did. I put together bits and pieces of my journey and feel that we all can learn from each other’s journeys and I am finding that especially true now. But there were spaces that needed some research to connect the dots.


3. Do you believe in God, why or why not?
I believe in a bigger power. I was raised Catholic and after x-ray training I moved to Hawaii and worked in a Chinese clinic. It was there that my belief system expanded more towards Buddhism. Today I recognize all religions as the people who believe in them have lessons to learn from their time in that belief system and I must honor that when I work with them in the soul path astrology that I do.

Personally I call this bigger power “universal consciousness”.. man tends to make God in his likeness and I do not feel that is the case. But man knows no other way altho this is changing as more people wake up.


4. Who designed the cover of your book?
I am also a hypnotherapist and when Yahoo had their user chat rooms I met people interested in hypnosis all over the world. A lady in Chihuahua Mexico was taking a graphic design class and wanted to do my cover and it is perfect... we are the bird flying into the light.


5. How long have you been writing?
Six years. This was my first book. I am now putting together a cookbook to keep family recipes going but also to include the healthy recipes that I have put together with some educational pages.. The Yin and Yang of the Kitchen. My niece will put that cover together.
And since my first book many are telling me my next book is on families and generational traits. I tell them they don't realize the work that goes into this kind of book. God has been putting on my path the materials I need for this. Not sure exactly when this will be coming together.
6. What all education do you have?
High School
Associates in X-ray
After 13 years I decided I was ready for change and went into Human Resources and responsible for their Workers Comp and Safety Program. Taught Red Cross first aid. This manufacturing company had 400 employees. Here is where I really learned about people dynamics.
Also I was the Program Chair and then 2nd VP of our local International Management Council a YMCA program. It was here I also learned so much. I met Dr. Bob when I brought Dr. Stephen Covey here for the first time right after 7 Habits of Highly Effective People came out. I brought Stephen into the National Level of this organization.
I also worked with other nationally known speakers, Dr. Morris Massey, Norman Vincent Peale,
Wayne Dyer, there were others that I don't recall since it goes back to the 80s. With what I learned from speakers and trainers I knew now I could start focusing on astrology since my goal was to mainstream astrology so more would “get it”.
In my 20s I studied astrology and I wanted to be the best astrologer. Obviously God had other plans and it seemed like all I studied didn't matter. I learned that it was the I or ego that was the problem. Learned a lot hear that has helped me work with people so much more effectively.
About in 2003 I took my hypnosis training from Kevin Hogan in MN. He is also an author and speaker.


7. Have you ever met any writers?
Many. But it was Dr. Covey that had the most impact on my life and the way I do what I do.


8. What is your favorite book of all time?
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
The Prophet


9. What is your favorite Bible story if any?
The Bible is missing so much because it was put together by man and so much left out. I feel if the Bible helps one to lead a good and moral life then it is ok.
Personally I am more interested in books like the Book of Enoch, the Book of Daniel. The fact that Apocalypse as churches have taught is the end times... and in reality the translation is “lifting the veil”.
In my presentation Understanding the Times We Are In. I focus on going to greater consciousness and that is lifting the veil.
10. What are you planning on doing or writing next?

I am now putting together a cookbook to keep family recipes going but also to include the healthy recipes that I have put together with some educational pages..

And since my first book many are telling me my next book is on families and generational traits. I tell them they don't realize the work that goes into this kind of book. God has been putting on my path the materials I need for this. Not sure exactly when this will be coming together.
11. Please share with us your social media links and book links:
I am not a techie so this can be challenging for me.
Facebook, Alice Stacionis Primary
YouTube, Alice Stacionis I only have one now but am planning more now that I know how.
Skype, Alice Stacionis I do soul path astrology here especially if the client is out of the USA
Twitter, AliceStacionis Haven't gotten into posting a lot.
I am revamping my website and since I am not techie it may be sometime this summer when it is back up. Www.soulpathastrology-hypnosis.com and this is not up and will work on it thru the summer. www.TheJourneyToNOWandBeyond. It was very old and since the dimensions have changed it does not show as it should.


12. Anything extra to add:

In the times we are in it is important that we come into balance so that these times are not so unnerving. This is my primary point..
Secondary is to realize that we are clearing karmic debt from past lives before truly being able to thrive in the times we are in. And move into the Fifth Dimension.
You will also find out if you are an older soul or newer soul and what that means in this lifetime.
My only prediction is that if you are not growing into balance your life will not be as good as it can be. If you are growing into balance then you will see amazing things happen in your life.
In my presentation Understanding the Times We Are In I go into more detail about what is impacting us and how this is moving us to greater consciousness.

Also I have added a workshop on Manifesting Techniques of the Fifth Dimension with a hypnotic trance to lock in place these techniques. ....Very different than how we have been trying and it is also about the many ways of raising our vibration.

Burning Sage (Love Among the Ruins) by Deena Remiel



Burning Sage (Love Among the Ruins)



By Deena Remiel


I was lucky enough to meet Deena at another facebook event. She was promoting her book, and wanted a loud mouth. Hi, I am a loud mouth. But, that isn’t the only reason I offered to be a big mouth for Deena. When she told me about her book, I totally flipped. I am a lover of books, especially with mythology. 

This book “Burning Sage” takes place on Santorini Island where a dormant Volcano has decided to wake up and shake things up. A scientist Dr. Sage Wilcot has decided that is what she wants to investigate in this expedition taking place in June.

Even though Dr. Thomas Conrad had been the lead on this expedition, and Dr. Wilcot who was much wiser and grew up knowing every detail about this volcano-in the end she won three times over.

Then while there, low and behold, Dr. Wilcot finds Emmanouel, the last prince of Atlantis. And he has a story to tell. Not only that, the two of them, will have a long lost civilization to restore. But that's not until Emmanouel actually convinces Dr. Wilcot of everything. Once she becomes a believer, than everything is about to change. But is she sure she wants or should believe this?

First, ask yourself this? Is Dr. Wilcot with her degree from Northern Pennsylvania University going to believe this? Does she want to? I mean is this- this gorgeous hunk of a man pulling her leg? Would you believe it?

But what do you have to lose right? Emmanouel has a problem that he needs solved. He needs to find someone, anyone, to tell this, his very story to. If he doesn’t, he will remain here forever. Sage, then figures it couldn’t hurt to listen, real or not. He was worthy of listening to, and anything else he might want her to do.


Dr. Sage Wilcot, was able to bring mythology forward and fall in love, all while in a days work. What more could you ask for? The question is, what will become of Emmanouel after he tells his story? What will happen next? You will need to read this fascinating story, and see for yourself! 

I truly loved this book, in every sense of the word. It was fascinating, and so deeply written. I felt like I even learned so much. I give “Burning Sage” five stars, and think if you love a mix of romance, with a twist of mythology, this is the right book for you. It was an extreme pleasure reviewing this book, and an even better pleasure getting to know the writer Deena. She has a true talent for making you believe anything you read, and wanting to read even more!

My Questions for Deena:


1. What made you write this book? Since I write paranormal romance, I believe in the impossible love becoming possible. So what's more impossible than a mortal and an immortal finding they are meant to be together forever?


2. How long did it take you to write this book? After researching, the first draft took me a few weeks.


3. Did you have to do any research for the character Dr. Sage Wilcot? I had to learn all about what a volcanologist does, scientific terminology, and something as basic as how her hair would behave in a particular climate. When I build a heroine, I always craft her personality, the physical appearance, and a back story to her life to make her as real as possible to me and my readers.


4. Did you do any sort of research for the Volcano Mt. Etna on Santorini Island? I researched live updates on the status of of the volcano at Santorini. I learned a lot about the structure of it, the nature of its behavior, and the mythology of how Atlantis may be hidden beneath the volcano.



5. Who is/are your favorite Author(s)? My favorite authors are Jayne Ann Krentz, Linda Howard, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Karen Marie Moning, Nora Roberts, Heather Graham, and Christine Feehan, to name a few.



6. What is your very most favorite book? Oooh, that's a tough one! The first book that touched my heart is called, The Great Good Thing, by Roderick Townley. It's a children's book, actually, but the theme spoke to my heart, and the way Townley broke through the fourth wall was so unique! I highly recommend it to anyone who dares to believe.
7. What led you to become a writer? As a child and teen, I wrote poems and songs with my piano, so it was only a matter of time before everything coalesced into my becoming an author. I'd been teaching for years before a story idea came to me, and I haven't stopped writing since. I never once thought: Okay, that was fun. Now what else should I do? Once writing became real to me, I was closed to anything else. It is my passion, my way of expressing myself, my way of escaping into a fantasy world.



8. What all education have you had? I have a BA in Psychology and I'm certified to teach. I couldn't begin to count up the thousands of hours of professional development that I've accrued over the years, and I'm still accruing!



9. What do you suggest to people wanting to become a writer? I suggest they.... DO IT! Then I recommend they learn the basics of good writing before setting out to do so.



10. What are your hobbies? I love photography. There's something about capturing a moment in time in a photograph that has me hooked. Then, music! Music is the soundtrack of my life. It lifts me up when I'm down, inspires me when I've lost my way, and celebrates my joy.
