What are the energetic components of gratitude and how does it play out in our reality?

The quest for wholeness takes us down paths riddled with missteps, hoping we activate all the landmines that separate us from our own hearts

We do not have to speak to be heard. We do not have to be close to touch, and we do not have to be solely brave when faced with tragedy. If

I have been traveling through France, making my way to the tiny town of Sancerre in the Loire Valley. Here, we will stay a few weeks so that I can study French and mingle with the locals. My partner, Steve does not speak French, so it has been interesting watching him work with the rhythm of the language to find ways to interact with the people. I have noticed that I am at ease in this atmosphere. I love to learn, so I ask questions practically everywhere I go. I feel a heigh

I finished my last day of school and rushed home to grab an hour in the sun.  What I used to take for granted has now become a precious commodity after spending a year teaching in a windowless classroom. It has amazed me how much I enjoy the warmth, the light and the energy the sun offers. Since my final day was a half day of teaching, I was looking forward to soaking up some rays, listening to a mystery and taking a nap.  My celebratory afternoon quickly took a downturn when

Your frequency also known as your vibration or vibe is the foundation of all energy. It is used as a magnet to draw to you all of your experiences. Being aware of how you are resonating throughout your day becomes your greatest asset. The reason that energy workers meditate daily is to raise their frequency thereby increasing their sensitivity. That sensitivity puts them in touch with healer guides that communicate ways in which they can serve their clients. We never have the

I am who I am, and that is enough is my latest mantra. I say this when I wake up, and when I go to bed. Using any mantra focuses our energy into a certain pattern. I have used mantras in the past that have connected me to Tibetan Monks such as “ om mani padme hum ” and appreciated that simply saying the words pronounced om ma nee pad may hum moved me in resonance with their ancient wisdom. Human beings shift into and out of various frequencies all day long. It is so subtle

You will remember that I left off last week with sharing my understanding of vibrational energy. Particularly, how it relates to...

We all notice at some point in our hustle and bustle through life that something is not quite right in our body. It could be the result...

Joman Romero wrote a book called “Knowing Ourselves, what does the body want to tell us about diseases?” It focuses on the emotional and mental components that feed into dis-ease. His ideas around cancer are particularly interesting in that he believes that it arises as a result of personal tragedy from an emotional trauma that has caught the person completely off guard. He goes on to say that such trauma will affect the whole psychological structure of the individuals and im

I took a whirlwind tour of Paris over the summer that included an introduction to their transportation system. We traveled by car, bus,...

As Turkey Day fast approaches our mouths start to water as our hearts fill with gratitude. We are grateful for all those that we love and the few that we have lost. We search our memory for all of our blessed moments in the past year, coming up with the one that humbled us in the face of this wide, expansive universe. This is the one that we will share as we are gathered around the table this week. This is the one that will moisten eyes and create the lump in our throat as we

Samhain is the midpoint between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. “At Samhain, it is clear our inner world is overtaking our outer. Day is turning into night as we move into the dark side of the wheel of the year.” — The Seasonal Soul Much like a crop, everything above ground gets taken by the frost so energy can move down into the earth and rest, readying itself for the fresh ideas that will inspire and empower our lives. The energy we spend cultivating our inner gar

The mind, body and soul connection can become the trifecta in our existence if we understand how to blend the information these three powerhouses offer. Most of us honor one or two, but using all three together can vastly change our everyday experience. The mind: The mind, when only used to react to its world, operates in a limited way. It uses its past experience and limited knowledge of possibility sprinkled with blind ambition to navigate our being. The ego has ample space

I am spiritual medium and intuitive designer. Some of my skills include communicating with the spirit world via spirit speak in order to get guidance for my clients; balancing spaces using my knowledge of Feng Shui principles in homes and businesses to bring about a feeling of peace and harmony; and teaching others about energy work. I did not wake up one day knowing how to do all of these things for other people. My craft, always in a state of growth, is one that I have hone

Hello operator? I’d like to make a collect call to God … We have all been in situations where we feel like we are at the mercy of another. When there is something that we need help with, we become reliant on someone else to make it happen. It is a feeling of powerlessness that requires us to be vulnerable in order to get our needs met. What happens when our ability to play nice just isn’t in the cards? I recently had a job to do that required collaborating with another. He ha

Today I want to focus on why we set up a meditation practice. Meditation is a time that we set aside to simply be. This is not an action-oriented activity. It requires only that we empty our mind and become aware of our breath, creating a sacred space within. Being in the world, not of the world Imagine that you are watching your favorite television show. There is a scene that has a lot of drama, and you realize this is the perfect time to go to the bathroom or make a snack.

I carry a little anxiety. When I say a little, what I really mean is that I carry a lot of anxiety. I can truthfully say, I’ve never felt...

Have you ever imagined a different life for yourself? Do you spend a little time fantasizing? Do you ruminate on past experiences until the pain is once again real? Where do these thoughts go when you’ve wallowed long enough? Most of them (or a version of them) travel into the astral plain where they wait for other thoughts to join them and gain enough strength to make their way into your reality. Huh? From an energetic stance, thoughts do not appear and then disappear if th
