Most of us have been raised in cultures that value the head over the heart, logic over intuition and thought over inner knowing. As a result, we have lost touch with the inner voice that lets us know us who we are. We often listen to our mental dictates and beliefs instead of tuning in to the whisper of spirit through our heart. This physical habit can feel as ingrained as the way we breathe or walk. However, with effort and conscious awareness, we can shift our energy to our hearts, listening and responding from this much deeper, more resonant place.Our analytical brain gives us a limited perspective-from the past. Like a computer, it can … [Read more...]
Disengaging From Negative People
Many people who we come into contact with everyday have difficulty being accountable for own lives. Rather than taking responsibility for their choices, they often become defensive, blame others, and/or play mind games trying to protect their own ego. People stuck in these toxic patterns can be depleting to our energies and highly destructive. When we interact or are in relationship with them, we think we have to play the same games to defend ourselves, but this only leads to deeper confusion, more conflict, and erodes our true sense of ourselves.The best way to detach from people who engage in such negative patterns is to disengage from the … [Read more...]

Becoming Our Own Loving Coach
By becoming our own loving coach, we can respond to life circumstances proactively rather than reactively. Through opening our heart and projecting the beauty of our inner being, we begin to see ourselves in a positive light and that we are doing the best we can. This allows us to release anything that keeps us stuck in a holding pattern with life. We can forgive ourselves for our past choices and then visualize ourselves moving forward and making more impeccable choices in the future. This takes trusting the voice of spirit through our hearts and eliminating self-abusive thoughts, beliefs, and words and replacing them with positive … [Read more...]
Divine Synchronicity
The sequence of choices that lead to making dreams a reality may often appear random, but we have to trust the voice of spirit speaking through our heart that there is a spiritual purpose to the chain of selections, which reflects divine synchronicity. Divine synchronicity occurs when we empower ourselves to move beyond fear and self-doubt, declare intentions, and use positive energy to manifest them. During such experiences, we are a conduit for the spiritual information moving us toward manifesting our intentions. As such, we will know what our next choice is and when to implement it.Like combing the beach for special shells, we have to … [Read more...]
Humor, Spontaneity, and Play: Keys to Sustaining Light Energy
"One should dance because the soul dances." - Holbrook JacksonBeing silly, spontaneous, and playful are keys to sustaining a flow of light energy in our lives. Because society often frowns upon adults being spontaneous and playful, we can sometimes feel inhibited about expressing ourselves freely. If we follow the advice to take life more seriously, grow up and act like adults, we lose our sense of life as a passionate adventure to be enjoyed and shared.Children are our best teachers of playfulness because they endlessly infuse light-force energy into their daily interactions with life. Observe a child in imaginative play and you will see … [Read more...]
Personal Integrity: A Higher Order of Being
Having a foundation of personal integrity cultivates life-enriching relationships with ourselves and others. Like the links in a chain, integrity is the strength we have that holds us to a higher order of "being." Personal integrity aligns our thoughts, words, and actions with the powerful flow of energy that is who we are. In aligning with this energy, we must hold true to ourselves, open our hearts to new information, and make impeccable choices.Recently, I had the opportunity to have a heart to heart conversation with my daughter concerning several lies she had told to cover up a series of poor choices she had made. What she needed to … [Read more...]
Cultivating a Healthy Partnership with Ourselves
To create a fulfilling life with amazing relationships, we have to first cultivate a healthy partnership with ourselves. Although this is the most important relationship we have in our lives, it can be the most difficult one to develop and sustain. Society places such emphasis on being in a romantic relationship, with the message that we are nobody unless we have somebody. So, we often set aside our own values, needs, and desires for those of another even when it comprises our very "being"-the essence of who we truly are. Until we cultivate a soul-hearted partnership with ourselves, however, we cannot possibly choose and develop healthy … [Read more...]
The Transformative Power of Intention
Like an inspired artist facing a blank canvas, we can use intention to alter the course and quality of our lives. Intention, when supported by our connection to a divine energy source, sets up the people, places, and opportunities that may shape our future realities. Using the power of intention is not about setting a specific goal and focusing so much on it that you lose sight of other possibilities. On the contrary, it is about being open to the many opportunities that present themselves in manifesting that intent, then making the discerning choices most likely to bring about the desired outcome. For example, Sheila had been in a … [Read more...]
