Maureen St. Germain first came onto my radar screens in the spring of 2020. I had revived the practice of attending NYC’s semi-annual New Life Expo, and had noticed that Maureen was a regular presenter at the conference. But it had always worked out that her lecture times were opposite someone else’s whom I was already following, or just couldn’t resist. When the CV-19 lockdowns closed down the New Life Expo, though, and I was forced to watch at home, I caught one of Maureen’s lectures. Her approach is logical. She attempts to make some sense of the admittedly often abstract world of the spiritual, or occult, or Other Side—or . . . You get the picture. I had been pursuing spiritual growth for 30+ years, and the field is so vast—so full of umpteen million healers/practitioners, each of whom believes passionately in her method or point of view. Many sound good; many are good salespeople; and—sad to say—some even make it appear to the unsuspecting (or even suspecting!) prospective client that “if you don’t work with me . . . ” Maureen ploughs a pretty darned straight furrow through that forest of wild and woolly spiritual complexity. I thought perhaps she might help me make more coherent sense of it all—get a whole picture, as opposed to fixing this or that. I took a wild stab at the Ascension Institute. I am about halfway through the year-long program, and have garnered a large amount of previously unknown information. No slouch on the knowledge-gathering front, I have still been pleasantly surprised and happy with such an expansion of available resources. There are so many interesting avenues to explore that I have no doubt of their lasting far beyond the program’s one-year term. I have not yet made the hoped-for progress, but I am well aware that this is due to my particular set of hurdles. Maureen is a non-reactive screen against which one can bounce questions and get mostly unbiased, and always well-considered, answers. There are many, many spiritual teachers hanging out their shingles on our planet today. If Maureen’s approach appeals to you, take it from me that it is well worth studying under her. Her commitment to the welfare of those who take this leap never wavers. She has been more than generous with her ideas, her support, her time, and (not least) her long list of products that will be yours gratis! Maureen will do her level best to make sure you make the progress you envision for yourself, whatever your goals might be. For me, the hardest part of doing this was financial. I have spent so much money over so many years, mostly attempting to regain my native energy level, and the spirit side (of PEMS) is just one road I have traveled on that quest. If I can accomplish even one of my wish-list items for this year, I will consider the investment amply rewarded. As Colonel Podhajsky said to Dinah Wilcox, who was petrified of falling off her horse, “Send your heart over first, and then jump after it.” Cheers!
