Question: I know to call on Divine Mother when I am feeling ruffled or angry, if I'm aware that I am out of alignment. The problem seems to be that I am not aware that I am out of alignment. The anger or the fear takes me over. How can we be more aware when we are not in alignment to come back? Divine Mother: Very good question, thank you. You will be uncomfortable when you are out of alignment. Anger is discomfort. Fear is discomfort. Decide to notice. That is the first important thing: decide to notice.

In case you've never considered that your healing jou ey can be like being a chef in the kitchen of your own life, grab a coffee and read on. I love my work as a healer. I'm also something of a foodie. When I'm not working with clients, there's nothing I love more than whipping up culinary creations in the kitchen. I love the culinary adventure, the possibilities, and the sensual aspect of cooking. The mixing, blending, the colors, the textures, the smells -- the whole process is like being in one joyous sandbox to me.

We all know what it’s like to want to live a better life. We want to be healed of our childhood wounds. We want to be free of the burdens that weigh us down. We want to feel happier and more content. We want to be engaged in a life we love. We want our hearts to sing, our minds to relax, and our ...

Golden haired like Rapunzel; dressed in a cute pink dress I comment to the adorable 4 year old little girl that she looks very pretty. Her response stunned me… What did she just say? How dare she say that? Then it occurred to me maybe this is how we, as grown women, should respond to all compliments. What is really wrong with her response?

Over the past twenty years it has become increasingly clear to me that rituals involved with any healing process are not necessary, because it is only your intention that matters, and I’d like to share some examples of how and why I believe this is so. First, let’s look at the concept of a ritual and why they were important. Any ritual places you in a mode where your focus is captured while also creating a circumstance to help you believe a certain result may happen. They ex

How often do we hear someone express a fear of the light or of someone or something that is light? Personally, I have never heard of anyone being shunned for being light, never heard of a place being avoided for being light. True, photophobia does exist, but that seems to be based upon a ...

During these difficult economic times we are living in, it is very important to find ways to stay empowered. Creating your own forms of livelihood are essential. When one loses their regular means of employment, what comes with that often is a sense of dis-empowerment, feeling like you have lost your only way to support your self and family through the financial stability you once had.

I find that I am often talking about grounding, and the importance of being grounded - and talk and write comparatively little about the importance of a connection with the heavens, the divine, God - whatever term you use, or whatever resonates with you.

A psychiatrist told the following story at a professional meeting in Houston: “I have a patient, an 8 year old little girl, who received the heart of a murdered 10 year old girl. Her mother brought her to me when she started screaming at night about her dreams of the man who had murdered her donor. She said her daughter knew who it was. After several sessions, I just could not deny the reality of what this child was telling me. “Her mother and I finally decided to call the police and using the descriptions from the little girl, they found the murderer.

Nearly twenty-five years ago, shortly after my father died suddenly from lung cancer, I had the “calling” to leave my profession as a civil rights lawyer and become a healer. It hit me like a ton of bricks, as I had spent more years studying law than practicing! Back then, I felt I had no choice when Spirit called then to instantly take a leap of faith. I quit my job at Legal Aid very soon after receiving this message. I had no money to pay the rent and I ended up staying at friends and family’s houses and going deep into debt.

People often ask me if I can “cure” a specific condition or illness, or what the difference is between “healing” and “curing.”

HOW TO MEDITATE Over the years, many clients have said to me “I can’t meditate. I have tried, but I can’t switch my mind off.” With this article, I would love to break this myth, that one has ‘failed’ in mediation if the mind is busy with thoughts and share with you a very simple meditation technique.

Do you often ask yourself, “Why am I so tired throughout the day?” Is it difficult to concentrate, stay focused, or spend time on your favorite activities? Life can be quite drag when you are feeling dog-tired fatigue and can hardly keep your eyelids propped open. If your energy level isn’t what ...

We are each an energy system. Energy flows through our being, and is directed by our consciousness. When we are healthy, or in balance, the energy flows smoothly. The flow of energy is regulated by seven energy centers, called chakras. Any illness or disease can be described as an ...

12:15 am. He knows he is supposed to be home by midnight. Where is he? What if he has been in an accident? Images of bloody moaning teenagers flash through my mind. What if he is trapped in his Jeep and can’t get out? Visions of the Jeep hanging upside down over a guard rail- the driver side door smashed into the passenger seat. I bet he has been drinking. I know some of his friends are experimenting with alcohol and drugs. The Today Show was just talking about the teenage drinking epidemic.

You’re a healer, therapist, body worker, nurse, martial artist, poet. Perhaps you’ve studied Reiki, learned to channel, transmit light energy, re-structure chakras. People come to you for guidance, healing, insight, strength. You give of yourself open-heartedly. Your clients love you. You help them change their lives. So why is energy healing still so elusive? As modern day holistic health practitioners we accumulate an array of skills and techniques utilizing subtle energy,

If you have all the riches you dream of, congratulations! You may stop reading and go to the next article if you wish. If, however, if you are like so many who work hard, yet find that abundance is always out of your reach, there is good news. You hold the key within you already! It is not about ...

The year 2009 has been a time of secrets coming out of the darkness into the Light. Much that has been hidden for centuries has come to the surface for all to see. Through the years, our politicians, bankers and the medical profession have been able to keep many secrets from us. This is no longer the case, and every day more secrets come to the surface. During the last year, it has been necessary for us to be more in alignment with our soul. Things which have not been in alignment with our soul have either been brought to the Light for examination or been forced out of our lives.

Hello again! Now it is time to continue the journey through the chakras, and look at the sacral chakra. The sacral chakra is located just below the belly button, and is associated with creativity and sexuality, and is to do with our appetite for both food and sex. When we are balanced here, we are in touch with our emotions, and are open to receiving and giving pleasure.

The first thing to do with time management is to get a good look at what you are already doing. This means making a visual representation of where your time is going. You want to see the times that naturally offer wiggle room for something new. Our world today is full of busyness: Many people don’t have a clear idea where there is true open time which can be cultivated for a new purpose. The first step is to make a weekly time chart.

There is one thing that is an absolute complete turn-off, bad breath. It is even more disgusting when we start to understand why someone’s breath smells bad. When you don’t brush your teeth properly, you are allowing food and left over debris to literally rot in your mouth, resulting in cavities and gum disease. Food gets stuck in the creases of your teeth, and residue starts to build up on your tongue, causing your breath to smell worse than a garbage incinerator. It gets re

Notes to Myself I spent the first month and a half of my summer vacation doing little other than resting and relaxing. I thought I would embark on a project to make myself feel like I accomplished something this summer. I have a big bin of photos that I've been meaning to sort and place in albums for years now. Every time I even consider embarking on such a feat I get weary at just the thought of it. I decided now is the time to delve in and just do it! The hundreds and hundreds of photos were thrown in without little to no order.

Recently, I've had quite a few clients coming to see me with food related issues, which got me thinking about my own (continuing) journey with food. Looking back on my childhood, it is now completely clear to me how (unintentionally of course) my family conditioning set up strong connections between food and emotional eating. I remember really clearly being give "nice" (i.e. sweet or heavy) food as a reward: at Christmas and birthdays of course, but also to help me finish my homework, or to help me to relax in the evenings after I had finished my work.

Daily Ritual The process of daily ritual is very important in our spiritual lives to help us focus on who we truly are and bring into this reality our true nature. Daily rituals can be as simple or as complicated as you make them, but the purpose is the same-it reinforces your intention and connects you to source. For this reason daily rituals are a method of connecting, releasing and relaxing. They can be very therapeutic to perform and become a comforting part of your everyday life. Types of Daily Ritualr

Pain usually creates un-wanted emotions like fear, resistance, upset, frustration, distraction, pity and stress due to the limitations we may experience to name just a few. Because pain forces us to put our attention on it, it can create even more pain and frustration. You may have heard the ...

Are you one of those who has survived another horrid holiday with your family? Do you dread holidays because it means you have to spend time with people that you choose not to spend time with any other day of the year? If so, WHY?? Too many of us feel that we ‘have to’ spend holidays with our families. That we ‘ought to’. That we ’should’. They are family, after all. There was a time that I felt this way. Each holiday, I would invite my family to my house because Samantha couldn’t go to theirs. (For those who don’t know, Samantha was my daughter.

Over the last week or so, I have been listening to a lot of inspirational people in the raw food world talk about various aspects of following this type of diet (whether a completely or only in part raw food diet). The experts talked about all kinds of aspects related to eating and food: nutrition, emotions, social, spiritual, eco and ethical. It was a bit of a "whirlwind" as there was so much information presented in a short space of time.

One of the great things about the movies is that the hero always manages to lift up from life’s troubles. While the rest of us mere mortals would curl up in a dark corner, the hero commits fully to the jou ey ahead and finds a way to restore the world’s balance. If we look ...

Photon FingernailsnnMitsuo Hiramatsu, a scientist in Japan working at the Central Research Laboratory at Hamamatsu Photonics, has led research showing that different parts of our body emit light. Prior research has shown us that most living things including plants release light. However, Mitsuo found that humans release light. All parts of the hands emit detectable levels of light with the fingernails releasing the most. Mitsuo told Discovery News that the hands, forehead and

On your jou ey through life, you will undoubtedly face disappointment, both large and small. In fact, the more you aspire to step into a greater life, the greater the risk you face of being disappointed. However, it’s how you deal with it that counts. Disappointment can build character and ...

Breathing can save your life. But for many, deep breathing is a forgotten skill. Can every breath you take really make a difference in your health and wellbeing? The answer is a resounding Yes! How many times have you said to yourself, “I go faithfully to the health club, why don’t I feel ...

Are you prone to the common cold, flu, or even have emotional distress? If so, there’s a technique that has been around for over 20 years that may be able to help you fight off the common cold as well as keeping your mental state in balance. It’s known as the Raindrop Technique, but what exactly is the Raindrop Technique & how can it benefit you? What is the Raindrop Technique?r

There are so many benefits of choosing to receive a distant Reiki attunement. Distant Reiki attunements have been available for many decades now, yet many people still don’t consider it as an option for being attuned to an energy system. I am still amazed at how many Reiki practitioners don’t even realise that it is possible to receive a distant Reiki attunement, even though most worldwide Reiki Masters agree that distant attunements are as effective as in-person attunements.

Notes to Myself I was waiting to write when I had something really inspirational and uplifting to say. I was hoping that there would be a sudden shift and my enlightenment would return and the storm clouds would pass. Sorry, that is not the case. I was guided to write regardless with a deeply personal and honest perception of the energy of late and my inner guidance.

As we approach another New Year’s eve, I have been musing how nearly everyone in the US celebrate with fireworks. Brilliant displays of many colored lights exploding in the night sky brings even the most skeptical and hard-hearted among us a sense of child-like wonder and de-light. This morning as the dawn light streamed in my window, I awoke singing a refrain from an old Christmas church hymn: “We are the light of the world; may our light shine before all”

I was just sitting at my laptop with a view of my garden and the hills beyond, when I received this email from someone who has just started the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME Breakthrough programme with me:

A sculptor was once asked how he created such marvelous results from the stone he worked. He replied, "If I want to carve an elephant in stone, I simply chip away all of the stone that does not look like an elephant." The artist's creative process involved finding the inherent qualities of the stone and revealing them to the eye. The challenge is to find the truth within the medium.

The interest in alternative medicine is growing rapidly today. Among the huge number of healing methods available, Reiki has become very popular around the world, especially since science has verified the existence of the universal life energy that Reiki is based on. Reiki is a powerful holistic healing system; it heals on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. nnSo what is Reiki? Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. It is a very simple

People ask me all the time what I think about crystals. There seems to be some controversy about this subject, but I think crystals are fabulous. I don’t know why some people think that’s a little bit weird–unless they’ve gone to a person who uses crystals who’s a little bit weird! I say that jokingly, but the crystals themselves are harmless and beautiful things that can help us. Everything on earth has a vibration, and gemstones and crystals are no exception. Each type has a different vibration that has a different effect on the energy around it.

Is it really possible to get everything done all the time? I used to live with a writte To Do list that was a mile long – full of my kids’ activities, errands to run and areas I needed to clean or organize. I gave up this list years ago and said I would only have on my To Do list what I could remember. I believe this helps me stay focused in the present moment. Well age and three kids later, this list isn’t very long! I recently returned to using the writte To Do list when I

When I began my Reiki energy healing (now energy medicine!) practice over two decades ago, I did not intentionally focus on healing animals. But come they did, as their savvy humans knew that the same Universal Life Force that was healing them, would be effective to help their beloved companions. Of course, I was thrilled as my deep love for them made it a natural extension for me.

Emotional eating is the practice of turning to food – consciously or unconsciously – to deal with feelings and emotions. These feelings may be with you most of the day. However, it is often only when the pace slows down, that you notice them. Not knowing how to handle these powerful emotions, ...

Notes to Myself This year totally sucked for me. Okay, that's not a very spiritual way of defining things. So much for the sarcasm….I'll try again. This has been a year rich in opportunity to grow in strength and wisdom, through various challenging situations. I have come to some major awareness regarding old patterns that no longer serve me, and was able to clear out a lot of emotional and mental baggage that I was carrying, disengaging from some old patterns. Better put? It's been a really intense year doing such deep soul work.

A man rushes into a national coffee chain talking loudly on his cell phone as if there was no one in the store that could hear him. A steady stream of people are coming and going, in and out not noticing who is there or what is happening around them. Have they noticed the noise of the machine steaming the milk? Or the brightly colored art work on the walls? Did they even smell the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee?

Considering the human body, one side stands the biological aspects of bones, skin, hair etc. and other being the chemical components of blood and hormones i.e physical body. Along with the body comprising of physical and biological compounds, it also comprises of powerful ‘energies’. Researchers have proven that we also embody an energy component. Energy exists within each cell and between each cell – our subtle matter. This is called energy body, which stands as a vita

When I had just moved out to Hebden Bridge, the issues that are to do with the base chakra were very current for me. Even though I really wanted to move out here, and I love it here, at the time I was feeling very "wobbly" and ungrounded - unsurprising in that I have literally "uprooted" myself and all my possessions!

Many people are searching for change in their lives. They want to have more loving relationships, greater financial freedom, better health, etc. They want to change what is. Simply put, this kind of change means to modify. Changing dress size or jobs can feel very good, even successful yet be temporary or unfulfilling. What about allowing the birth of something brand new? Not conceived. This is what’s known as transformation.

The key spiritual practices in Shamanism, also known as the “4 Powers” is a balanced way to walk through this life in conscious delight. They are Singing, Dancing, Nature, and Sweet Silence. I used to love to dance. Much of my teen and university years were spent de-stressing on the dance floor. Emotions were expressed through my body, as I wouldn’t often share the words, and I was able to go deeply within as I found rhythm with the music and the way my body wanted to merge with it. Music moved me through teenage angst, and through celebration.

The Bridge Pose _ Yoga I have been practicing and teaching Hatha Yoga for over twenty years and find it a wonderful system to unite body, mind and spirit. Hatha yoga is the practise of relaxation, meditation, postures and breathing techniques. There are so many benefits to your health when you practice yoga-buts that's another article entirely! If you have any health issues please get advice from a medical professional before embarking on any form of exercise no matter how gentle it may seem!r
