If you wish to alleviate your grief, be of service. Yes, you are in great emotional pain, and it grows no better by focusing upon it. Your thoughts and memories can hold you prisoner to the past and present. The present can become lighter when you acknowledge what is and [...]

You have a conversation in the mind. It seems to be more than simply your own thoughts. There is a back and forth … a repartee’ of sorts with an exchange of information you would not have expected. And this, dear one, is how you begin to understand that you [...]

“What can I learn from this person?” This is a most excellent question to ask when you meet another, be they what in human terms you consider superior or inferior. Oh, these terms that separate. By asking, “What can I learn from this person?” you dissolve thoughts of superior and [...]

Cycles. All of life follows them. You experience a period of heightened connection, thinking it is the new norm, and then the connection drops off a bit. Do not be discouraged. Each time you cycle, you go a bit higher, for these are not closed cycles when referring to the [...]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. What does this mean to you? It means that what you know as solid will be transformed. It is the way of the world of matter. And just as a tree sheds its leaves to prepare for winter and then for new growth, you [...]

Disdain is a form of judgment. You call it “looking down your nose” for good reason. When you feel yourself higher than another and look down upon them, you are not seeing eye to eye. You may not always agree with another at the human level, but at the deepest [...]

There is an element of being that will greatly increase your enjoyment of this challenging life in human form that you have chosen. What is it, you wonder? Why, it is wonder, itself. Wonder occurs when you notice the often miraculous ways the web of connections reveal themselves, and in [...]

There are those whose behavior may repel you. They need your love more than others. There are those with whom you may not resonate. They need your understanding more than ever. There are those who speak in ways that are not kind. They need your compassion more than most. Why [...]

You are still breathing for a reason. There is more of LIFE* to experience. Whether or not you get the most out of it and find pleasure is not completely dependent upon external factors. You are a being with the rare ability to find meaning and make choices. Pain is [...]

Signs come from loved ones in many ways. There are those that seem external to you—synchronicities and the like. And there are thoughts and the feeling of presence that come from within. And what does the human brain cause you to say? “I just making this up.” Yet the soul [...]

Blessings be upon you. What does this mean? At the deepest sense, the greatest blessing is for the veil blocking your awareness that you are connected to all that is enough that you no longer feel fear or angst or division. These are byproducts of forgetting you are a direct [...]

Can you control your thoughts? To a point, but try to stop them and what happens? They keep coming. You may not be able to control them, but there is one thing that you can do, dear soul:  observe them. Were you only the mind and body, you would be [...]

When you don’t know what to say, say nothing. The brain wishes to fill in the silence and the blanks. The soul knows that simply being present and coherent is healing. Be present with those who are hurting. Often, a well-intentioned word or more can be misinterpreted by one [...]

What is an analogy or a metaphor but a way to explain something that is challenging to wrap your head around. Now, do you actually wrap your head around anything? Not in a literal sense, of course, and neither are analogies literal, but they are most useful to understand concepts [...]

Set aside the mini “me” and shift to “we.” “What are they talking about?” You may ask of this tribe of guides and inspirers who speak to you through these messages every day, and have you not noticed a common thread? All who read these words—yes, you and you and [...]

“Ask and it is given.” You have heard this phrase and you have seen evidence to the contrary. “I ask all the time, and I don’t get what I want.” Know that the universe does not respond to desperation. It aligns with coherence, which is a state in which there [...]

Static in the signal. You know what this is like when attempting to tune in to a television channel or a radio station. Reception is poor. And so it is when attempting to discern messages from those no longer in the body. The signal is always here, dear ones. It [...]

When you have a project to accomplish or perhaps in the normal course of a busy life, the thought may arise:  “I have so much to think about!” And with this comes a bit of angst and tension. Is it any wonder you feel stress? We have a solution. Instead [...]

“Don’t be intimidated.” If you were to hear these words whispered in your ear from on high, what would it mean to you at this time in your life? What are you allowing to hold you back from shining your light brighter and accomplishing your goals? To whom or what [...]

When you get in the habit of living one way or doing things a certain way, it can be quite challenging to change. Momentum takes over and it feels far easier to simply continue as you have been. What to do? Find a quiet space in place and state and [...]

“I don’t know, but Spirit does.” May this be a phrase that comes to mind when you are stumped. This does not mean that there is a higher being with all the answers. It means that you are part of an indivisible web of connections, and as you trust your [...]

The mind wanders as it will. One moment you are focused on an objective and the next thing you notice is a completely new topic running through the mind. And that is what the mind does. So, put a pen in your hand and a piece of paper beneath it. [...]

In that moment when you absolutely must buy that item before you, what is it that you are seeking? Pleasure, of course. And you are giving that item the power to bring you that pleasure. And then it sits on a shelf or in a closet, eclipsed by the next [...]

Here, with the hand on the belly, is the center of Awareness in all its complexity, with all its diversity … perceived here, now, through this focus, this locus, with no hocus pocus at all. That is right: There is no magic in discerning higher truths and connecting with higher [...]

They are not dead. The body is no more, but the heart and mind you know and love lives on. You know this in your heart. Some call this denial to insist they cannot die. All depends upon perspective. From the human point of view, the earthly experience in a [...]

What does it mean to be “in your own little world?” You are part of something so vast that the human mind cannot wrap its head around it. And so, you use attention to focus outward and inward like the lens of a camera. At times you narrow the focus [...]

We are always with you. And who is this “we”? We are beings of light at a higher level of coherency than that which you normally experience whilst in a human body. And if you cannot see us or hear us, can you trust that you are guided and helped? [...]

At times it takes a wake-up call to shake you out of your reverie, dear soul. This often comes in the form of the death of a loved one or perhaps a diagnosis that causes you to question your long-held understanding about what life is all about. But you do [...]

Are you a teacher? In everything you do. It may not be your profession, but every time you share words or actions with another, be they in person or through your emails and electronic media, you are teaching by example. People believe what you say and what they read. Be [...]

Do not just look at nature. Immerse yourself in it. Be the tree. Be the flower. Be the moss, and the butterfly, and the bird. Be the cloud. Do not just imagine. Know your Self as all of this. Sit in it. Sit with this Awareness. This, dear one, is [...]
