Are you surprised at the number of good ideas that keep coming to mind at just the right time? Are you pleased at how your life is flowing? You need not be surprised, for the more you come to know that the Source of these ideas and insights and flow [...]

Yes, grief weighs heavily. You want to run from it, escape it entirely, but it is there when you open your eyes, the awareness that the one you mourn is truly no longer here physically. This is an adjustment period, dear one. Resisting reality lengthens that adjustment and the pain [...]

Do you know why you wish to be of service? It is the soul within nudging you to enjoy connection. It is in shifting the focus from the self to others that you most feel Joy arising. Your troubles take a backseat in awareness and become easier to handle when [...]

The body will tell you when you are out of balance. Yes, you are well familiar with the signs of not sleeping well and tension in the muscles. But do you notice when you are holding your breath? To breathe slowly and deeply is the antidote, but first you must [...]

Do not forget to talk to those in spirit. Conversations with those you may not be able to see or hear tells the mind, “This is real. This is my reality. Bring on the knowing that I am not alone.” As you converse, the knowing will increase. You will notice [...]

Blessings come in many disguises. That little hiccup that slowed you down? Perhaps you were going too fast. That unkind word that made you flinch? Perhaps it was time to pay attention to your own words. Life is like a mirror. It will reflect back to you what most needs [...]

In your home are many rooms. Perhaps you spend most of your day in the living room, yet occasionally you become aware of noise in the attic. Yes, it is as if someone has left a radio on there and from time to time you hear the whisperings. For the [...]

There is no shame in getting out of balance. Keep in mind that imbalance can go in either direction from the center: either quite down and depressed or quite high and elated. Neither is “wrong” and yet there is a sharpness or dullness that feels quite “off” compared to the [...]

Sometimes you need a break from the routine. Use this time to determine if the routine continues to serve you. There are some habits that behoove you to continue. There are others that have run their course. How do you know the difference? The passion has gone out of the [...]

Is the world speeding up? No, if you mean this in the sense of time moving faster. The speed at which individuals process information, however, is increasing due to technology showing you the way. As you use technology to search and integrate information faster and that information comes into [...]

Clouds are a most beneficial way of viewing the patterns of sensations, thoughts, and feelings that can keep you stuck in “only human” mood. These are overlays that literally cloud out the light of Awareness. Yes, you are aware of the trauma and drama, but you can easily lose sight [...]

Do you at times feel the need to be nurtured? Perhaps there is no one in your external world available or able to give you what your nervous system needs. Yes, the nervous system craves calm and balance, which nurturing provides. And of course there are the emotional and [...]

Be aware of your instant judgment of someone you meet for the first time. The nervous system will connect the way they feel or look to a memory. This memory will bring up sensations, thoughts, and feelings that have to do with the past and may have nothing to do [...]

Perhaps you have heard the statement, “Ask the right question, get the right answer.” And how does one know the right question to ask? By asking beyond the story you are caught up in. Become still, relax with the breath, move awareness to the heart and hara—the very core of [...]

Now you’ve got it! Perhaps not the first time you try something new. Perhaps not the second or even the third. You are a soul experiencing L.I.F.E.* through a human nervous system. Did you learn to walk the first time you stood? Of course not. And perhaps as you have [...]

Just when you least expect it. And is this not how life goes? Of course, this could be a positive thing or a not so positive thing. Where did your mind go when you read that phrase? The brain is programmed to be on the lookout for challenges. The [...]

And so, you hear someone say something to another that you know is untrue. And now you question, can they be trusted? Perhaps not. Why does a person tell untruths? It is a reaction meant to protect the self-image. There is fear beneath lies. “If I tell the truth, that [...]

“What is arising in awareness?” This may be the most important question you can ask to improve awareness of the greater reality and how all fit within it. You and all other beings of light, be they in a physical body or not, are connected at the deepest level as [...]

It’s just a word, that word that makes you cringe when you hear it. And why do you cringe? For you have given it meaning beyond the letters knit together. Perhaps you have heard it said with accompanying energy that causes you to constrict. Perhaps it represents a way [...]

You see actors on a stage in a small-town theater. Perhaps they are very good. Perhaps they dream of being a star - being known around the world. And perhaps this will never happen. And yet, they cannot help but act. Not everyone is meant to achieve great fame, [...]

Do not underestimate the power of belief. When you truly believe a thing, you will act upon it with greater fervor. Energy truly does flow where consciousness goes. If you do not believe that healing of others can take place as a result of your mental and spiritual efforts, then [...]

Regrets. Do you know of any human who does not have them? Of course you cannot know another’s thoughts, but the human experience is universal. You have all done or said things which you wish you could do over or say over. Now the question becomes, do you allow it [...]

Work with what you are given. You say you have a racing mind, then speed up to meet it. You say you cannot sit still to meditate, then walk in the woods as you contemplate your connection with all that is. You say you cannot find time in the morning [...]

It is human nature to compare. It is human nature to create hierarchies. It is human nature to judge one as superior and another as inferior. And perhaps, in human form, rank is sometimes necessary. But you are not only human, dear one. You are ultimately and most essentially one [...]

It is true that you cannot please everyone. Should you even try? Be careful of “shoulds.” You are here to shine your light, beautiful soul. You know when you are shining and when you are not. There is an inner knowing. If you are shining and others react in [...]

“I wish I had followed my intuition.” How often have you said these words? You know there is a knowing within you that often leads to far better outcomes than thinking something through. And yet, you are so accustomed and so trained to trust the brain that you ignore [...]

Perhaps as a child, learning your lessons and sitting through classes was drudgery. But was there not a certain feeling of excitement on the first day (without thinking about the new clothes and shoes and books)? There was the anticipation of new experiences. And that is how we wish [...]

“I was blind, but now I see, the divinity that was always here as you and me.” Are you yet able to make this claim? When and as you are able and do so, you will taste and experience the freedom that the soul knows is your birthright. If you [...]

There are more people than you know who make your daily activities possible. Yes, you have likely done the exercise of thinking how many hands went into getting the food you eat onto your table. And what about the table itself? And the roof over your head? And these are [...]

Do you know that you can change your habits? Change does not happen overnight, but it does happen when you do a thing over and over overnight. Perhaps a few weeks of over night and over day you may stop to pray, and when you stop you also play. [...]
