Do you insist on silence when you “sit in the silence”?  What a funny question.  This term, of course, is another way to speak of meditation.  Must the space in which you sit be free of distractions?  It is preferable, but at times challenging to achieve.  A dog barks.  A [...]

By grace, effort, or whatever means you are healed of a past disturbance in your energetic field. A blockage was removed, a lack was filled with what was missing in awareness. Now what do you do? You keep your focus on the present. You live in this new way of [...]

When someone lashes out at you, if you know in your heart that your words or actions have not been hurtful, know that the other is projecting their own pain.  Arguing with them or defending your words and actions may well fall upon deaf ears, depending upon the thickness of [...]

You gather round the table.  A time to celebrate they say. But you are feeling naught but sadness on this day. The family’s not the same this year as holidays gone by. “How can I be happy?  To smile would be a lie.” Those you love may not be seen, [...]

There is a tremendous difference in vibration between wanting a thing so badly that it hurts and knowing that a thing may well happen as you co-create it with your higher self.  The human side of you may wish for impossible things, such as turning back the clock.  The spirit [...]

Catch your lower thoughts.  What are these?  Any that speak of anything less than love.  Any that tell you that you are “less than.”  Any that say another is “less than.”  Are these the majority of your thoughts?  Then we have some work to do.  Why?  For you have fallen [...]

Love bottled up.  Have you ever felt this?  It bubbles up inside of you and needs to be released, needs to be shared.  This is how you were in the beginning—one big potential of Love . . . a great, bottomless well of love with seemingly nowhere to go.  And [...]

Can you look upon those on your television screen and judge not?  Can you simply observe?  The ego wants you to laugh with derision at those you deem lesser or to feel inferior to one who appears to have more.  Neither is true at the level of the soul where [...]

“I just don’t understand them!” you say of another person or a group.  That is because you are standing firmly in the role you have chosen.  It matters not if you were not raised as they were.  You are all human.  You have the gift of imagination.  Use it, please, [...]

When you push upon a wall that will not budge, why do you keep pushing?  Pause now and answer this question.  Feel the frustration you experience as you push.  What is behind your actions and insistence?  “I want.  I need.  I am right.”  What happened to “we” and “us”?  What [...]

The level of consciousness from which you act and think is all-important.  “What?” You ask.  “There are different levels and I get to choose?”  Yes, you do so quite frequently, sliding up and down the scale, acting from avarice or altruism, selfishness or selflessness.  Your motive and Self-awareness are all-important.  [...]

When you want to lash out, what are you protecting?  When you want to speak sharply, what truly hurts inside?  Examine what is beneath any lower vibrations such as defensiveness, judgment, impatience, sarcasm, and anger.  Is this issue truly with that other person, or are you hurting, frustrated, not feeling [...]

“Bad things always happen to me,” you cry, and so it may appear. “There have been so many deaths on my street,” another declares with despair. And life is like that. Events go in cycles. Where there appears to be chaos are embedded clear patterns. Order. The human mind seeks [...]

Have you ever watched a butterfly fly?  At times it flies a straight line from here to there.  At others it flutters to and fro, fro and to.  You can barely keep track of its seemingly erratic movements.  There is much to be learned from a butterfly as it fluttersby.  [...]

What is love?  It is a force, but you know it through the experience of it, by being it.  Love, simply put, is connection.  When in your awareness you connect with another aspect of Source in any form, you have the opportunity to know Love.  It is already within you, [...]

Do you trust life to flow? Then why are you anxious? We thinks you hast forgotten that the you with a name on your chest is playing a role. You are not that role. You are far more than that. Relax. Look around you and watch Nature for a while. [...]

It is rebelling against and resisting what is before you that causes suffering.  Yes, of course you will rebel and resist when you become aware of injustice and other wrongs.  The dissonance such things cause spurs you to action.  We are speaking now of the day-to-day happenings in your life [...]

What happens after you awaken, once you realize, “I am far more than this physical body?”  Then you begin to understand the concept of oneness.  This begs the question, “Then how do I express myself from now on in this body?  I am not God, but . . . ?”  [...]

You hear beautiful chimes and experience a lift.  Why is this so?  It is the music of angels—high, clear, pure notes.  In the beginning was the Word . . . sound . . . vibration.  The tinkling rising and falling of the magical, musical notes of chimes takes you Home.  [...]

What is your motive?  Check it often.  Doing so will explain why your life flows or not, why certain projects succeed or not.  Yes, of course there can be success with lower vibratory motives, but you can know greater success, greater flow, greater contentment than you had imagined when your [...]

It is so very freeing to not worry what others think.  Does this mean you run off and do something that would hurt others or cause emotional pain?  Of course not.  The heart will always guide you to make the highest choices.  Make the choice to always follow the heart [...]

Do not take yourself so seriously.  This is the opposite of joy.  Joy is ever-present in the soul, which is aligned with the highest vibrations, but such seriousness as the human so often exhibits comes as you leave childhood behind and no longer read stories but become immersed in them, [...]

Consciousness needs you to identify as you and believe in you as an individuated aspect of the Whole. Without this, where is the exploration and growth? Your self-awareness takes evolution to a (whole) new level. But the more self-aware you become and the more you resonate with the (whole) concept [...]

There is quite a difference between considering yourself alone and all-one.  Only from the human bottom-up viewpoint can you hold the false belief that you are alone.  This is a lonely place to be if this is your sole focus vs your soul focus.  Otherwise, it is beneficial to be [...]

It takes courage to make a big change.  Fear and trepidation come when you temporarily forget who you are and identify with your human story.  At times parts of the human story run their course and it is time for a change.  “But what if—” you say, and with these [...]

You have plans.  You know exactly how your day and life are going to go, and then a new element is inserted into those plans.  It falls into your world like an unexpected visitor.  Your plans come to a sudden stop.  “What do I do?!  I was supposed to . [...]

You do not have to go it alone.  If only you would remember this.  In human goings-on you often feel like the Lone Ranger, bearing your burdens without help.  Know that you are both human and spirit and that you have a team of unseen helpers.  Call on them and [...]

Self-awareness comes with a price.  If you did not become aware of your ability to reason and all that goes with it, you would operate on instinct alone, being guided, fulfilling your purpose, much like so-called lesser creatures have done since creation.  But no, your soul chose to have the [...]

Barriers.  They appear in your path quite often.  It is a case of the old question:  Do you push and force your way through it, go around it, or climb over it?  Again and again we remind you there is yet another way:  to realize that you and the barrier [...]

You train the physical body by doing exercises.  The more you exercise, the stronger grow the muscles until what once was a challenge is now quite easy.  The same is true with your emotional and mental bodies.  You can train yourself to respond from the heart, even when one lashes [...]
