Must someone dear die before another awakens to the existence of the greater reality? At times it is necessary for something quite shocking to occur for one to realize how limited beliefs can be. There is quite a difference between believing what you have been told and what you experience [...]

There is an innate awareness in humans that there is divinity within. This deepest part of you mirrors the divinity of nature that you witness with the physical eyes, but you need not use the eyes to feel your inherent and natural worth. This is why there is an innate [...]

Are there not times when a cloudy day is welcome? Day after day of sunshine can become mundane. And so it is with LIFE. There is a part of you that wishes life were always sunny, and yet, that is not why you came here, beautiful soul. It can be [...]

Archetypes are quite helpful on the spiritual journey. You do not have to know everything about a certain character or figure to benefit from the energy their field embodies. The image of a knight carries strength, even if you know nothing about their ways. The image of a fair maiden [...]

Simplify your life. This can start with your electronic devices where you scroll and scroll and scroll because you have not taken the time to delete that which is cluttering things. And what of the mind? Could there be a bit of clutter there? If you find clutter around you, [...]

How can your eyes be wide open with the brain processing what is before you in the physical world, yet there is a different stream of input catching your attention. You may call this the wandering mind. Most of the time when attention wanders like this, the thoughts are taking [...]

Do you know what it means to truly feel your feelings? You may think you do, but what happens when something challenging arises that may be unpleasant? Do you put up your shield? Do you shove the feeling down and replace it with something more pleasant or numb it? This [...]

Giving attention to another’s interests is a form of love. Why is this so? For even if you have no interest in what interests that apparent other, you are saying through your inquiries, “I care about you and what makes you happy.” The other feels the connection, and this lack [...]

You appear in a photo with others. What is the first thing most humans do? You zero in on aspects you think are not good enough. You find something to criticize. Do you know this is learned behavior and part of the human programming to focus on what sets you [...]

The mind-body connection is real. Think of a lemon and what happens? You experience a change in the mouth juices. Think thoughts of gratitude and what happens? You experience a surge of chemicals felt in the heart area. Think thoughts of unforgiveness and what happens? Perhaps you experience a severe [...]

You wish to find peace? Here is HOW. When and as you notice constriction within the mind and or the body, rest a hand on the belly, that seat of awareness you may call the hara. Repeat the word “Here.” This brings you to the present moment instead of at [...]

Can you allow yourself to experience what you label “boredom” for just a while? And while you are in this temporary state, before you jump to fill it with something . . . Anything at all to replace what to you feels like emptiness or restlessness, pause. Sit as boredom [...]

If you go through a period of feeling disconnected, do not despair. This is weather. Your base state remains the same, but the clouds of life in human form—your story and that of others upon whom you are focusing—can obscure the peace and tranquility that lie always within. Often simply [...]

Connect the dots. And what are these dots? Moments of experiences so “loud” that you take note. They snag you. Are they coincidences or synchronicities? Not always and not necessarily. They are breadcrumbs of a story line that you notice because of the one that came before it. Notice indeed [...]

Can you imagine living a worry-free life? If you can imagine it, it is possible. And it is that very act of imagining that brings on the worry. The mind wanders to the future and the limitless possibilities that could change how you envision the future. Understand that life is [...]

Is it wrong to seek healing? Where does the urge to come back into balance come from? It arises from the inner Intelligence that fuels the evolution of all humanity and keeps you moving forward. When old modes of thinking and doing no longer serve, modalities are provided that allow [...]

“They fight like cats and dogs,” you say, and yet, have you not seen images of cats and dogs lying together in perfect slumber? Connections can take place between any creature, any being when a connection is made through the heart and a feeling of safety is present. Consider your [...]

There is an innate intelligence in the body that you would be well served to get to know. When you pause to think things through, the body tenses. When you simply trust that there is a guiding Force flowing through and as the body, you can step out with confidence, [...]

So many distractions. So many options. So many demands. At times you can feel pulled here and there and decision-making becomes difficult, does it not? And what if decisions were not exactly made for you but laid out clearly to make life easier? When you realize that this life in [...]

You receive a fright or you experience a strong emotion and instead of crying, you laugh. Why is this? It is all energy, dear one, and energy moves. When there is a sudden build-up of energy in the physical container, it seeks release. Is not laughter like that? A great [...]

When at first you do not understand new teachings, set them aside. It is okay not to grasp all at once. Seeds have been planted. There will come a time when the concept or teachings come back into awareness. You will recall your brief encounter with them, and this time [...]

Begin with the basics, before there was any story that told you how to be, what to do, who you are. Begin here, now, with what you know: “Here I am. I am having an experience here and now of being here.” Of course, we are putting words to this experience, [...]

You are surprised when Spirit sends you a sign. You blink in wonder and wonder how such things are possible. Your world is not solid, dear one. It is a teeming cauldron of energy/consciousness, and you are part of that mix. Every now and then a higher order of the [...]

When someone says or does or does not say or do something that you interpret in a way that is harmful, how do you react? It is the human way to return your hurt feelings in kind . . . To lash out or not speak . . . to [...]

You will go through periods of malaise. You will go through periods of great energy. What if your word for the source of being is Joy? Why then, you would realize it is all Joy. Do not despair when your mood dips a bit. LIFE goes in cycles. There are [...]

Open vs. closed off. An understanding of these opposite states will help you to understand why connection with other beings through non-physical means happens or does not. Communication flows. It needs an opening. What is your state of mind when you wish to connect telepathically? Examine all thoughts and feelings [...]

Perhaps you are afraid of spiders and snakes. Are these not “all God’s creatures, great and small?” Yes, you are wise to be cautious and to not interact when you come upon such creatures, for some are indeed hazardous to the human, but not all. And yet, many recoil at [...]

You say you are reeling after an experience with the greater reality leaves you flummoxed. “How can this be?” you ask with wonder and awe after having learned through personal experience that the world you accepted as limited is far more malleable than you believed. Now you know that one [...]

Hot chocolate. Such a soothing drink. Why are you drawn to some substances and repelled by others? There is an innate wisdom in the body. It knows good tastes and smells and those that tell you, “Stay away.” This same wisdom is in every cell. You may call it intuition [...]
