Act. Don’t “re-act.”
Have you recently felt alarmed, angry, and outraged at current events? This is likely the case no matter where you live in the world. And maybe, like me, you feel that you want to do something. This feeling may be prompted by anger, fear, or compassion. All these feelings are valid, and they all warrant […]
I’m entitled to my opinion!
We all have opinions. Healthy and natural, we create them from our experiences and belief systems. We are each entitled to have an opinion about whatever we decide to add to our mental space. Sharing opinions, however, is a little more complicated. If someone asks for your opinion, it may be appropriate to share. But […]
Is vulnerability a bad thing?
Do you equate vulnerability with victimization? If so, you’re in good company. Vulnerability is often confused with weakness. We learn, often from an early age, that we need to protect ourselves, so we do not become vulnerable to others. But vulnerability is the first step toward wholeness and transformation. It’s true, the dictionary definition of […]
What is “consciousness?”
I frequently see comments that humans are at an all-time high consciousness, or that human consciousness is rising rapidly. These comments often come from someone who has a “world vision” they feel compelled to share or refer to ecstatic experiences. Often consciousness refers to the political process and making the “right” choice. These examples are […]
The Akashic Records told me…
Recently I saw a post on Facebook about the state of the world, human consciousness, governments, etc. The post said, “The Akashic Records told me…” Let me be direct here, the Akashic Records did no such thing. While I tend to agree with the opinions made by the author, it was impossible to overlook that […]
Weeds
There’s a small city-owned park outside my back door. The playground has a large gravel area for kids to run in. Over many years, sticky grasses and weeds grew around the edge of the gravel and created a thick mat of roots and old stems. The city sprayed herbicide on the weeds toward the end […]
How many lives have I lived?
Clients often ask how many past lives they’ve lived. It’s a simple question to answer, but the answer is not very meaningful. Why do some people have 60 past lives on earth, and others only a few? The short answer is that we only experience transformation while living in a human body. The human experience […]
Are you rationalizing your emotions?
When it comes to feelings, do you feel all your emotions? I often hear people say that feelings don’t matter, to just get over it or work through it. Most conventional wisdom tells us to rationalize our emotions away, often by blaming or excusing others. But our thoughts and projections onto others cannot heal what […]
Stay Grounded
The world feels chaotic and unsafe right now. Sorry, let me correct this statement. The world IS chaotic and unsafe. And although you may feel helpless, there is one thing that makes a world of difference. Ground yourself. The world is a dangerous place. This feeling of danger may be new for you, but oppression, […]
Courage, Faith, and Hope
How do I help to make the world a kinder place? Lately, I’ve found it difficult to get up and going in the morning. I don’t spend much time with the news, but what filters through to me is disheartening. It seems the world is a mean and petty place. And I wonder what to […]
