When is the last time you received a hug?  Arms wrapped around you are such a precious way of connecting.  You touch heart to heart and something inside of you says, "You are loved."  In an embrace, you are connecting soul to soul.  This connection is love.  Everything arises from [...]

To wake up means to know who you are.  This can happen whilst in physical form or after leaving the physical body behind.  In the case of the latter condition, it is quite difficult to not awaken, for you are so surrounded by Love-awareness, which is Self-awareness, that you suddenly [...]

When you have a disagreement with another, know that it is only at the human level. Your souls are fine.  Picture them smiling and nodding at each other in understanding, “Just give them a while, they will come around, and all will be well.  Sooner or later they will remember.”  [...]

When you speak to your loved ones who have passed, if someone asked you where you are as you do so, what would you answer?  “Why, I am right here!”  And as you connect with those who have passed, would they not answer the self-same thing?  Where you are is [...]

Just when you thought you had awakened, another piece of the puzzle is put into place, another layer of the onion is peeled away.  And yet, both of these analogies are partially inadequate, for they indicate that at some point the puzzle is completed and the onion fully peeled.  In [...]

There are times when you need to get sucked into the human story.  Do not worry.  There will remain vestiges of soul awareness.  You will not forget Who you are, but the story exists for a reason.  Nowhere else but in this earth school can you experience such depths and [...]

"Ready to pair."  This is what your wireless device says to you when you have the intention of using it.  Do you know that Spirit is ready to pair with you at all times?  There is no wire.  There is no need to push any buttons, plug anything in, take [...]

Have you sat and asked why you act or react the way you do in certain situations?  If you have merely wondered at behavior that is less than optimal, but you have not deliberately asked this question of Higher Consciousness, you may keep wondering around and around whilst you wander [...]

Just be the ocean.  You have a choice, as the ocean, as to what aspect of the Self shows up each now-moment.  Do you show up as a drop of water, as a group of waves, or as the ocean itself?  In your earthly awareness, you play a role by [...]

“I see you.”  These three words offer validation.  “You are there.  You exist, as do I, and beyond our skin, the part of each of us that exists is the same.  We have built up stories that we hold within the boundaries of our body, but these cannot define who [...]

Where do you meet your guides and higher self?  In the heart, not in the head.  In the head resides the voice that says, “This is my imagination.”  In the heart is where you feel a connection and have a sense of knowing.  You may still hear a voice when [...]

Vacations … they provide a break from your daily routine.  Most everything you do is a bit different, starting with the time and way you arise to how, when, and what you eat and then do during the day.  Some of you would like to have a vacation from your [...]

In an effort to understand who you really are and experience Truth and to serve the Whole to the best of your abilities, you search for words and labels to re-identify yourself.  “I am not this body.  I am not this personal mind.  And so, what am I?” you ask [...]

Disagreements.  They break up relationships, families, friendships.  At the root of this is finger-pointing and misunderstanding.  What is lacking is the heart.  When two or more begin placing blame, it is quite easy to fall into automated “I am right and you are wrong” programming.  Ego loves this.  It keeps [...]

You think of your guides in human form with bodies, or perhaps bodies with wings.  We think of ourselves as twinkling lights.  Light flows and glows.  It can mold into forms and shapes when given boundaries, such as how light fills a room with walls surrounded by darkness.  The light [...]

Do you know I AM, or do you know only your story?  You may immediately answer, “Of course I know I AM!  I AM this or that,” you say, and you fill in the blank with any number of labels.  This is not the I AM.  This is ego and [...]

You cannot love another truly until you truly love yourself.  Until then, you are more in a needy state, mistaking what you give out as love, when in fact it is ego’s ploy to get what you think you do not already have.  You come from Love.  Love is your [...]

Minor annoyances.  They occur throughout your day and your life.  They arise primarily from your demands that life go a certain way, that things flow the way you desire, but of course you are interacting with your fellow lights in human bodies, and so, there are bumps and direction changes [...]

We understand it can be confusing to live in the awareness of being both human and soul and also as one with All That Is.  What perspective do you take?  Whichever you choose!  Whichever serves you and the greater good in the here and now moment.  It is quite challenging [...]

Glory!  Glory!  Hallelujah!  What do these words mean?  Without meaning, words are merely symbols.  You give them meaning through group agreement.  Words are necessary when there is focus on separation.  When you move beyond separation to pure Being, no words are necessary.  There is simply knowing.  Words are a tool [...]

If you are, as one of the great poets stated, a hole in the flute through which the Christ breath flows, then you and all others are equally necessary.  You help the flute produce a specific sound.  In combination with the other holes, played expertly by a higher power, you [...]

Are you ready to be free?  You must be willing to shine a light into the darkest of places.  Many times, you may not even know that there are certain closed doors within your psyche with fears and traumas locked behind them.  When you are willing to ask the question [...]

Do not go backwards.  When you have a disagreement with another, do not continue to replay it in your mind.  Do not dissect every little cause, every word said or action taken in anger.  You know very well what happened.  Going back digs up the emotions.  Move forward knowing you [...]

A state of limbo.  What does this mean?  You are waiting for something to occur or for an answer, and that could go either way:  either in your favor, as you would perceive it, or against your favor.  The human does not like to be in limbo.  You desire certainty, [...]

Do you steel yourself at times in advance of a visit from someone with whom you have a history?  This is a mistake.  People change, and we are not necessarily speaking of the one coming to visit.  You are growing spiritually.  You are changing daily, becoming more loving, more accepting, [...]

Just One.  Can you eat just one of your favorite morsels?  Can you enjoy just one delightful pleasure?  The answer is yes if you set a clear intention and set aside the belief that you cannot stop at one.  You are a slave to the body and your beliefs when [...]

Playful.  Have you ever met someone you would describe in this way?  And how do you react?  Some might react with disdain, but most feel a lift.  A playful person takes you back to your childhood when you were allowed and even encouraged to have fun, and then what happened?  [...]

Laughter is the best medicine, yes, after a large dose of love.  Seeing the humor in a situation means you have risen above it.  When you can laugh at yourself, even if wryly, you have noticed the drama.  All is temporary in your world, save one thing—the part of you [...]
