You Are Perfect (Healing the Original Wound)

The following is my Guides' message for today. The Original Wound At the very core there is a wound, a perceived wound from the original “sin,” our supposed “departure” from Source, from the moment we chose to leave the Divine Nest in search of our Self. We mistakenly perceive this as abandonment, as the Divine turning a cold back to us, because we have forgotten that it was our own choice, our will to leave and to pursue this very long, drawn out search for Truth, to Know

Spirit Speaks – Listen to your Heart

Spirit speaks through your “Heart” – the highest, deepest part of your Heart where Soul connects – and you will find that your heart has a lot to say. No matter how many times you may have overridden it, ignored it or denied it, it will continue to speak in the same soft, loving, gentle voice it always has, and it will tell you all that you need to know. It will be there to guide you and to shine a light on your path, the path that brings you the greatest joy you will ever ex

Holy Smoke!

This was written by a friend of mine Sheri McMurray, and when I read it, I immediately asked her if I could share it. It is such an amazing story. (She is a flight attendant. which helps to know just for ease of reading mid-way through.) The day [my cat,] Chloe, died I was trying to clear the energy of our house because there was so much grief and suffering, and I wasn't sure yet what to do for her. So I put on this healing chakras cd and incensed the whole house. Then I ate

Spirit Speaks –Ben Stiller?

Spirit spoke to me this morning in my dreams. It was one of those lovely dreams spaces, where I was conscious enough to know I was dreaming but not enough to lose the magic of what was happening. And then I woke up. Say what? Did that really happen? I dreamed that I had fallen in love with Ben Stiller. Even so….really? Ben Stiller? You’ve got to be kidding? Ok, I mean, he’s cute and all, but come on! I mea Brad Pitt dreams….now those are fun! But yes, I had fallen in love

Step 4. - Offer Love

If you’ve come this far, and it’s a long way from where you started, spiritually, then you might as well join me for this step, because it’s a powerful one. It erases the hurt that you held in the first place and will offer you a profound healing in your heart of hearts. You will not be the same after this simple exercise. This is it: offer love to the person who wronged you. Imagine it. Literally! Like energy waves flowing from your heart to the person who you hurt or wrong

Spirit Speaks – Getting the Signs

Spirit Speaks. It's always speaking, and it will get your attention one way or another when you're not hearing it and following the messages of your heart's desires. The messages begin in whispers and, if you're not listening, they will begin to come as signs. You’ll get the signs over and over and over, if that’s what’s needed to get your attention, until you finally let go of whatever it is that Spirit is asking you to release. Maybe it’s a job that no longer serves you, or

Step 3 - Offer Forgiveness!

You might think this step is about forgiving the other person. That’s what ego would like you to believe, but it’s not. It’s about forgiving yourself for having had the judgments you just listed in Step 2. You see, the ego would like you to forgive, and you can, but it’s easy for ego to take over that process and have, even in the most subtle ways, tinges of “he did me wrong, but I forgive,” or “I’m a better person; I can forgive.” Stuff like that. It’s way better and a whole

The Royal Wedding

I admit it. I HAD to watch The Royal Wedding. Despite all of my reluctance, curiosity won out, especially after a friend of mine told me that she HAD to watch it. Frankly, I didn’t understand the hype or the commotion about the event. So, I didn’t watch it live; I caught the rerun. And it blew me away. It wasn’t so much the event, but the energy of it. There were layers and layers of fascination. I could watch it again just for the reactions and energy of the crowds. The out

Spirit Speaks - Forgiveness And Love

Is there someone or something in your life that you know you haven’t forgiven? What I mean is this – are you holding onto judging someone in your current or past or holding onto bad feelings about something that happened to you? Let’s talk about forgiveness. No, this isn’t about forgiving and forgetting, but it is about the spiritual mechanisms of forgiveness and the freedom that it brings to YOU. First and foremost, this is about you, not the other person. To keep it simple

Make a list of your grievances

Start by listing the judgments that you hold against the person you have in mind. And be honest, very honest. The more real you are with yourself, the better this will be. It’s best if you can write it out, on a piece of paper, because then you’ll have the physical evidence of all that your ego has been holding onto. Yes, it’s the ego that holds, not your spirit, because none of what’s being held onto is your ultimate truth; it’s the roadblock to your Truth. So list all the j

Spirit Speaks - Forgiveness and Love Part 2

What does it mean to forgive? First, let’s look at what it means to NOT forgive, that is, to hold onto old regrets, judgments, or lower vibrations of emotions when you think of that person – anger, resentment, frustration, sadness, etc. When you are unable to totally love someone, freely and unconditioned, there are places within your heart where you hold a lower vibration, and pretty much everything you can imagine is a lower vibration than love, forgiveness and genuine comp

Spirit Speaks - Forgiveness And Love Part 3

When you hold a grievance against anyone, in effect you hold it against yourself. They become your mirror. When you see them, what you’re really seeing is yourself, and the judgment that you think you have against them, is really one that you have against yourself. Whoa, say what? Yes, it’s true. You see, when we hold judgments against ourselves they can be too painful to really see, and there can be many layers of “stuff” held on top of that original judgment, so we no lon

Lost Your Identity, Gain Your Freedom

Lost Your Identity, Gain Your Freedom! So I had one of those scares this morning - I woke up and ALL of my calendar appointments were gone! It was devastating. I panicked, wondering what I was going to do, and then began the scramble to get it all recovered from my back up. Fortunately, it was almost all there and the rest could be easily recovered. Whew! Time for a bunch of deep breaths and a brand new grounding connection to the earth. In retrospect, I could see the humor

Taking Care of Yourself

Where to begin? There is so much happening in the world. No one needs reminding of that at this point. It's impossible to avoid, not that you need to, but in terms of your spirit and the management of YOUR energy, it is important to know your limits. Here's what I see: a lot of people are tired, sad, confused and running on fumes, spiritually and physically. The thing, though, is that this time more than ever before it's SO important to care for yourself and continue to make

Spirit Speaks – Choosing Spirit over Ego

We choose to listen to ego over Spirit consciously and in not so conscious ways. The not-so-conscious ways are when you find yourself living from what you think and feel. You feel bad, and so it is; you believe it. You think something negative about yourself, so it is; you believe it. You feel whatever it is that doesn’t produce joy, and you live it as if you have no choice. But the truth is, you DO! This is where Spiritual practices become vital. They lead us away from ego

The Archangels

Last week, I received an email from a friend asking if I wanted to host a few angels in my home. At first glance it seemed like a cheesy chain mail offer, but after I read the first sentence it became clear how very real this offer was. Without hesitation or even reading the entire email, I accepted. As it turns out I am hosting not just any angels (as if this wouldn’t have been beautiful enough!) but five powerful Archangels: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Metatron. T

The Glow Stick

I woke up late last night to a thud. Then another, and another, and…a foot step? In less than an instant, I was in terror. Here I was in the middle of the woods, alone. Now, mind you, I was in one of the loveliest, straight-out-of-Architectural-Digest homes that my friend, Elizabeth, so graciously allowed me to stay in, and yet I was alone, surrounded by empty vacation homes, trees, foreign noises and wall-to-wall sliding glass doors. By day, it is the most gorgeous place eve

Recognition – this is your mirror

Now, for the sticky part….recognize that all these judgments, all these grievances, are ones that you’ve held against yourself. Gulp. Yes. Remember, this person may have done real things, acted in real ways, and yet you would not have attracted them into your life had you not, on some level, invited it. The invitation was the self-judgment you’ve been carrying against yourself. We are all our own worst enemies. Let me say that a slightly different way – our ego is our own wor

A Tsunami of Growth

I just finished a very powerful healing session with one of my teachers, Michael Tamura, in which we offered the planet a special healing. There were so many things that we looked at: the energy of the world, the specific places that have been physically impacted, the impacts on the entire planet energetically, and the chaos and flux that everyone is in as a result, because the impact isn't limited in any way to the specific areas of the world that are in chaos. The energetic
