Do you ever have to rest from a vacation?  To recover from a holiday?  Such events bring new patterns of activity into your life.  Humans are creatures of habit.  You have your routines and along comes a holiday or a vacation to shake things up a bit.  “This is supposed [...]

Can you find that perfect balance between taking care of the self and serving others?  There are many beliefs about selflessness—that somehow it is wrong to be selfish—but you are a self.  It behooves you to take care of your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual selves.  Pause often and discern [...]

Cats.  You call them aloof, for they at times will ignore you.  Could it be that cats are great teachers that you are not here only to receive love but to give it in abundance?  Yes, of course, many of your feline companions are overtly affectionate, but observe what happens [...]

Why do you feel so free when you are in nature?  For you are surrounded by the energy of flow.  The trees and flowers do not resist growth.  They bend and flow.  The mountain stands tall, confident in simply being.  Water finds the path of least resistance.  The sun does [...]

Learn, learn, learn. Find out all you can about your fundamental nature. There are various ways to do this: through inner knowing, which occurs in the silence, and through teachings from those who have done such work before you. Trust those who rely not on conjecture, but the personal experience [...]

Like fly paper.  Perhaps this is not the most positive image, but it is a befitting one for what happens when you think negative thoughts.  You pick up every stray piece of negativity that passes in your immediate vicinity.  What do you wish to attract to you?  Something higher?  Raise [...]

All are special.  Have you lost sight of this?  That is the human way.  Find your way Home by realizing you are uniquely you.  This is why you have come here:  to be the expression of Love in human form in your unique way.  Being this unique expression is what [...]

So many distractions everywhere you look, and most especially when you look at your electronic devices.  Those give you a sense of connection, and the human self craves these.  But what of the higher self?  How often do you pause to connect with something beyond the human self?  This takes [...]

You wonder why your dreams are jumbled and a bit off-center?  What are you feeding your mind before you enter into sleep?  What you watch on your televisions or read in your books stirs up memories.  What you ingest mentally becomes part of the thought-soup swirling about in the energy [...]

At times you are well advised to change your routine.  We are not speaking of going on a trip or some other momentous event.  We are asking you to consider looking at how you relate to others, how you relate to yourself.  Could small changes in how you view the [...]

You carry regret for words said to one who has passed that you wish you could take back.  You hold remorse for actions taken that may have caused harm, whether emotional or physical against one who has passed.  Trust us, they feel your remorse.  They see the pain you carry [...]

Endings are beginnings.  Beginnings are endings.  Round and round go the cycles of life.  At times you wish to get off the never-ending cycles, but that is because you are stuck at one level.  How to rise above the current circumstances when the monotony threatens to bring you down?  Aim [...]

Does it matter?  “Well, it matters to me!” You say, and we ask, can you let it go?  If not, you are held prisoner by the issue.  When you are bound by ties, you are less free to flow, less likely to see new solutions, less likely to know yourself [...]

You are not alone.  And does that not cause you challenges at times?  Those with whom you interact have a lifetime of experiences to which they have ascribed meaning, as do you.  When the meanings and emotions that accompany such clash, you experience dissonance.  Perhaps at these times you wish [...]

“It’s a lot to take in all at once,” you say when you are feeling overwhelmed. Your attention is drawn in multiple directions at once. What does this tell you about the mind? It is oh so very flexible. And attention? It is all-important if you wish to find peace. [...]

Do not work so often in haste.  What is your hurry?  You are trying, perhaps, to get to the end, the completion, so that what?  You can begin another project and get to the end of that one as well.  And what of the experience?  Are you aware of the [...]

There are many ways to approach a challenge.  Throughout your life you may have become habituated to always approaching issues from one side, not the other, in one way, instead of being open to alternatives.  You are much more flexible than you know.  But how do you access what you [...]

How is it that when you behold a loved one at your celebration of their life, you innately know they cannot be gone forever?  You know this, for the knowing sense is the part of you that does not die.  You know that you have lived before this time in [...]

Do you know that you entrain to a group’s energy? What are the characteristics of the group you are spending time with? Can you feel how you come into alignment with them? The human is like a chameleon. Even if your thoughts may differ, you cannot help but begin to [...]

Gifts come in unexpected packages.  What may seem an unwanted delivery may turn out to be the greatest blessing.  What if you were to not judge each situation immediately?  What if you were to pause and observe all that unfolds with curiosity instead of instantly deciding good or bad? Labeling [...]

Does consciousness arise from the brain?  Quite the opposite, dear one.  The brain is an epiphenomenon of consciousness.  Without awareness, you would not be aware of this instrument that serves as a filter for all that is swirling about in Awareness.  When the brain no longer functions, that which you [...]

The written word.  You have learned to give it power.  Yes, these words are written.  How do they feel each day as you read them?  Are they truth?  The heart, which is the bridge twixt human and soul knows the answer.  Now use the same test when you read your [...]

Change happens.  “But what do I do now?” you ask with a bit of panic.  You flow with it.  You open before you a blank canvas and with a bit of wonder and excitement instead of fear you ask your angels, guides, and ancestors to show you what you might [...]

It is quite easy to get stuck in one way of doing, being, seeing on a grand scale and at the smallest scale.  Habits are comfortable.  They also become hardened.  Where there is hardness, there is a lack of flow.  Do you not see this in the heart as an [...]

You do not need your trinkets, your talismans, your toys to feel good.  They are reminders … visual objects that hold meaning for you.  They trigger thoughts which hold meaning for you.  These, in turn, engender feelings … emotions … states of being which go up and down.  Do you [...]

Stories are passed down from generation to generation.  What are you, but a story being played out in biographical form. The stories you learned and observed from your forebears become yours to tell and express.  “I am just like my mother,” or “That is just like my father” are phrases you [...]

Nothing is gone forever.  Nothing is ever lost.  The moment you deny this, you are in “human only” mode.  Shift perspective to the expanded awareness of the soul which knows that consciousness is the medium in which all experience arises.  There is no objective world from the point of view [...]

Accidents happen.  You do not have to read deep meaning into all of them.  The law of cause and effect is well at work in the earthly realm.  Move too quickly in a room with many obstacles, and you are likely to stub a toe.  Is there a deeper meaning [...]

Do not grieve for your loved ones who have passed.  Grief is what you feel for yourself.  Those who have passed are received in love by Love.  You in physical form are also enveloped in Love, wrapped in the arms of angels who know how you suffer until you adjust [...]

A deck of cards gives you 52 possibilities of experience as you deal one by one.  How many card games are there? There is no limit.  And each game uses different combinations of cards, different rules, and different desired outcomes.  Are you beginning to see how limitless your possibilities are?  [...]
