The Law of Attraction states that “our thoughts, feelings, words and actions produce energies which, in turn, attract like energies”. -Dr. Nora Milanovich and Dr. Shirley McCune from the book The Light Shall Set You Free . To nutshell you, it basically states that what’s happening inside the mind and heart directs the energy outside in life through speech and action. Most of us familiar with this law would endorse it whole heartedly when we think of the positive things in l

“When they go low, we go high”-Michelle Obama Protecting the heart is something I think we all do, perhaps more than we realize. We think that if we are careful and are not vulnerable, we will avoid pain. My guidance suggests that this thinkin’ is back asswards (pardon my French). The risk involved in opening the heart is where the spirit most yearns to go. Any pain that comes through this journey is part of the expansion process. How do we know what or who we love if we

Ah fall…and the beautiful colors that come with it! A season that as the temperatures get cooler, we begin to spend a little more time indoors. We love pumpkins, football, and the holidays that are just around the corner. As we gear up for more festivities, it’s a good time to look at our space and feel it through our energy system. What would you say if I invited you to an outdoor pool party (bikini and all) in the winter in 30-degree weather with snow on the ground? Or

I remember when I was a little girl taking family trips to the beach. My favorite thing to do was to jump waves. I would get knocked under and hold my breath until I could make my way back to the surface. Sometimes I would twist and turn for what seemed like an eternity waiting for that moment to rise to the surface only to discover that the current had taken me further down the beach than I had expected. Life can be like this. It’s exciting and exhilarating until we get p

My introduction to the esoteric world of spirituality came via my mother in my late teens. She took me to a psychic name Suzanne. I had no knowledge of the tarot and was amazed at Suzanne’s ability to utilize the symbolic images on the cards to gain access to the details of my relationships. My mother also gave me the book "Where Two Worlds Touch" by Gloria Karpinski. Her work centers around helping people to understand changes in life as a spiritual rite of passage. Two wo

I attended an event over the weekend that struck a chord deep within my being: the celebration of a young couple’s marriage. The whole evening was surreal as I watched the love everyone held for these two families climax reaching its peak and exploding as the music started playing and tribal movement took over. The room felt electric as women of all ages started tuning into their unique rhythm and allowing it to overtake their bodies while simultaneously stomping out any lin

I love this time of year! My boys are older now and instead of packing their lunchboxes, I’m packing their suitcases for college. I still look back at their early years of schooling with fondness. You can feel the energy changing as kids end their carefree days of summer and move into the routine of school in the fall. Here are a few pointers for elementary aged kids that can ease the transition of going back to school that I’ve learned not only in the trenches by being a mot

We all grow and change in life and that often results in moving or renovating homes. I enjoy working with clients when they are changing stages in life because their energy is in a place of expansion. Even when they are downsizing their living situation, their spirit is growing and embracing the new adventure that lies ahead! When I am hired during the first stage of committed relationships, I often help a couple navigate design styles by honoring both people in a space, espe

All energy connects. We like to compartmentalize issues in our lives, but from an energetic stance that’s an impossible feat. Energy flows through our body through energy centers known as chakras. How it moves through these centers is determined by our mental and emotional health. This is powerful information and if we are willing to do a little sleuthing it can offer us a chance to change course and deepen. I decided last fall that despite my age and level of fitness, I woul

How we feel in a space makes a big difference in our ability to recover from life’s stressors. By setting up a place designated for meditation, we build up the energy in a room making our time of meditation practice there more powerful. The physical body spends less time trying to relax and expand because the space already offers a heightened vibration. By implementing a few items and adjusting your schedule you will reap even greater rewards from as few as 5 minutes of medi

My intuitive design work is based on the principles of Feng Shui. I started out as a Feng Shui consultant and quickly learned how to sense patterns in a space that contribute to disharmony in a home. Here are the top two mistakes I see people make when designing their homes. Addressing these can make a HUGE difference in how your home can support your health, wealth and relationships. 1. Furniture Under Arrest This happens when everything you own is up against the walls and c

I work with the spirit world. I am grateful for those in the living that trust me to hear their stories of pain and to those in spirit that step forward to ease that pain and offer love as a path to healing. During a session, my clients often give me messages to pass along to friends and family in spirit. I get a kick out of that notion because my job isn’t to help those in spirit hear you, it is to help you hear them. You do not need me, or anyone, to speak to or be heard by

Do you remember the 1960s game “Operation?" Cavity Sam lays on an operating table with various cavities exposed, holding plastic pieces that need to be removed. All that is required is a pair of tweezers and your fine motor skills to heal this poor chap! If you can successfully remove the plastic piece without touching the walls of the cavity, you win the money associated with the cost of the surgery. If not, his big red nose buzzes and lights up so bright, it puts Rudolf to

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of balancing a space by using a combination of the elements water, wood, fire, earth and metal. Understanding how energy moves or becomes stagnant and the effect it has on the people living there, is key to transforming the living environment. So this begs the question, “how do you know if your home has good or bad energy flow?” You follow the advice of the Beach Boys, and start picking up “good vibrations”. When I’m visiting a home for th

Intuition is sensing that which cannot be seen, but nevertheless can be felt. “How” we get that information is unique to each of us. It is an understanding we have about how our individual mind, body, and spirit connect. We create this understanding by building a language of sorts and using that system for insight. One way I relate to my higher self is through animal speak. I use the messages of various creatures that cross my path to guide me. One such winged being that made
