UNbelievable. The Almine I knew in the late 80s was performing locally as a belly dancer at local resorts and also did some little theater. At that time she was fixated on herself not others.

She had delusions of being a super star of some sort and claimed to have been at various times a runway fashion model, professional performer. She's definitely a professional performer and always looking for a way to make money to sustain the elaborate and luxurious lifestyle she feels she was born to have. Seems she has found her ultimate role. The first time I saw her in her current persona was at a conference.

She was not there in person, but she had some of ther "followers" at her booth hawking her wares and showing her videos. When I saw her image and started looking at the materials on the display I was just stunned because I NEVER knew she was a "holy woman" or had any sort of uber-spiritual abilities. Just the opposite actually. As I began to know her from belly dancing (I belonged to the same belly dance organization at the time) I began to realize what an incredibly narcissistic and manipulative individual she really is. Very intelligent for sure, articulate, educated and knows how to work a crowd. Her beauty is only on the surface people.

No way is she what she's claiming these days. Well, maybe in her own mind. Any "transfiguration" her body went through in 2005 was done while under anesthetic. I'd like to know exactly when and for how long she lived as a "Toltech Nagual". Was it some sort of weekend retreat experience? When I knew her she lived in a split level house in Newport Oregon with her attorney husband, her childlren, and her elderly mother. She is a sham shaman and should be ashamed.

 Saw someone posting a nasty review about Alminer saying that she used to be a belly dancer in the 80s. So what?! How do you know she didn't have an awakening later on in her life? If her teaching had been beneficial to many people, hey I'd applaud her for it. Even though if someone used to be a prostitute but turned into a shaman later on in her life and saved many lives, so what? YOU are lucky to have not born into that kind of karma being a prostitute. And also someone said she hardly say anything in her teaching.

Well...I'm not surprised with why that person said that. Everything is about consciousness (and if you get what I say about this). Different people see and hear through his/her own filters you know. If you were not on the level to hear higher teaching that would only mean you needed more learning on this earth plane. (It's ok if you don't get this either. Take as much time as you need. No pressure.

 I met almine and her husband richard in the early 1990's, and spent various periods of time with them both but it would be true to say that i got to know almine far better than richard mainly because of our business dealings and richards other comitments to parliament.almine is one of lifes special people she, has a unique warmth and caring towards other human beings, and although i cannot comment on her current activities as a healer, teacher, mystic or whatever else she may be known as I can tell you this, she wouldnt be doing it unless she truly believed in it, and she certainly wouldnt be doing it to rip people off, its not in her nature.like every business you get disatisfied customers, but that doesnt mean she is a fraud a con woman or any other derogatory term you may wish to throw her way, i will admit if i went to one of her seminars i too would probably look her in the the eyes after and tell her that i find her teachings a lot of mumbo jumbo, but thats because of my ignorance to her subject matter, and i know she would smile and tell me that was fine then we would discuss till i understood a little more, and if my opinion stayed the same she would be fine with that.I havent had contact with almine for a while now but i know we will always be friends and if we met tomorrow it would be as if we had never been apart,she is a very special person, a dear friend and someone who's corner i will always fight for.

I have been studying with Almine for several years and from personal experience, she teaches the most cutting edge, spiritually advanced information I have been able to find anywhere . . . and I have searched around the world. She's a humble, loving and compassionate being who is not afraid to admit if she's wrong. You don't find that in too many teachers. It seems whoever started this post has some major insecurity issues to deal with. Otherwise, why bother taking the time to write something negative about someone who hasn't harmed you in any way? Isn't that what this site is for? If you have the courage to study with someone who will challenge you mentally and spiritually more than you could ever imagine, you should check Almine out at her website www.spiritualjourneys.com. She gives away more free information than any teacher I've met, as you'll see there. Plus, her classes are a fraction of the cost of what you'll find elsewhere considering the experience you'll have. But, then again it's not for everyone!

I have been watching her videos for weeks now, reading her website, reading anything I can find on this beautiful woman.  As you watch her videos you quickly realize that she hardly says anything.  She touches upon endless ideas and terms and never really gives anything more than vague explanations of them, if any at all.  The most amazing part is the endless mountain of topics she has written about.  I may have to bite the bullet and just buy one of her books to see if they expand at all on these ideas.  I always figure that a person needs to make a living but when it comes to enlightenment the knowledge should be free.
