Practicing compassionate detachment increases our ability to infuse difficult situations with positive energy―and ultimately, to transform them. In choosing to respond rather than react, we can diffuse a negative situation and create a neutral space in which the other person doesn’t have anything to come up against. Without something to react to, they are more likely to calm down and even become aware of their own reaction. Providing them with a mirror of love in which to see themselves helps them gain awareness of their behaviors. Thus, holding them accountable for their actions actually opens the possibility for unconditionally loving … [Read more...]
How to Make Enlightened Choices That Align with Your Heart
Break free of your fear by making enlightened choices that align with your heart and not your head. Such enlightened choices, however challenging, will get you moving toward creating your dreams. Several months ago when I was visiting a friend in NC, I took a stroll on the beach with the intent of beachcombing. My friend desired a sand dollar to place in a healing fishing net she was creating. I, on the other hand, wanted a sand dollar to support my intention of abundance. While beachcombing with these requests to the universe, I sorted through a myriad of shells. Each time, I picked up a shell, I examined it, and decided if it resonated … [Read more...]
Autumn: A Time of Transformation
“Oh God, make me an autumn tree if I must die.” – Esther Popel Autumn is a time of personal transformation. It is a season of permanence and change where we find the inner reserves of strength to change as well. To do this, we have to take the time to go within. Once we realize what’s up for change, we can move through this regenerative clearing process as a part of our spiritual development. Autumn is my favorite time of the year. And as much as I love the cooler weather, the changing colors of the trees, and harvesting apples and pumpkins, it’s the transformational part I love the most. As I looked out my front window this week, I was … [Read more...]
10 Questions to Ask Your Heart
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry By listening to the guidance of our hearts, we discover that we are love. When we open our hearts, we become conduits for transmitting and receiving divinely inspired information which directs us to use this love for the benefit of ourselves and others. Thus opening the heart not only helps awaken us to our authentic selves, but also leads to self-healing. Although each person tunes in to this energy and information differently, we all tap into the same divine source. It is not our “ability” or “talent” which … [Read more...]
Choose Love
This is a pivotal period of human history―a time of massive breakdown and escalating breakthroughs. We are being called to collectively gather in universal love, and activate the soul potential within us to co-create a new world for our planet and all living beings. This shift in vibration can affect our world at the subatomic level of reality; therefore, our reality is not actually matter; but a powerful flow of energy. Barbara Max Hubbard suggests in her Sacred Journey of the Conscious Evolutionary, “It is vitally important for us to merge our conscious intentions for our lives with our soul's intentions and the very intentions of the … [Read more...]

11 Energetic Signs You May Be a Love Ambassador
“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two, my life flows.” —Nisargadatta Maharaj People who live in the flow of love are love ambassadors. They aren’t saints, prophets, or gurus maintaining an austere and monastic lifestyle. Quite the opposite, they are people like us. They usually go unnoticed until you realize how happy, joyful, and peaceful they are, even in the midst of life’s messiness. When you engage in a conversation with them, you see how positive and present they are compared to most people living at lower levels of spiritual awareness.Love ambassadors are connected to a field of divine … [Read more...]
Holding the Space of Love Dissolves Negativity
“Your entire life has unfolded for your heart's ascension to love.” ~ Bryant McGillTo facilitate a shift in our current consciousness, we must transcend fear, anger, and negativity, and ascend to the soul of love. We can do this by learning how to avoid reacting from these emotions, and instead connect to a higher power or divine source (whatever that means to us) through our hearts.Like a periscope in a submarine, we must lift our gaze out of the shadowy aspects of human consciousness and obtain a more elevated, spiritual perspective. We must be clear that we are, first and foremost, spiritual beings navigating the sea of human processes, … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Invite in Love and Connection
“You have to love yourself because no amount of love from others is enough to fill the yearning that your soul requires from you.” — DodinskyInviting love into our being allows us to experience our sacred connection to others and to humanity as a whole. When we are born, we temporarily forget our divine magnificence; consequently, we spend much of our lives trying to remember who we are. Before we uncover that remembrance, we spend much of our time and energy seeking out the inner connection which we crave on a soul level without even really understanding why. In other words, even before we remember what love really is, and where it comes … [Read more...]
Being Vulnerable Opens Us to Being Love
“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; the word is love.”—SophoclesThe more we lean into our vulnerabilities, the more open we become to love. The areas of our lives in which we feel most vulnerable are health, relationships, and finances. Whether or not we had a healthy and loving childhood, we all experience some form of emotional pain as a reflection of the human condition. Our subsequent pain, when left unresolved, keeps us living in habitual, protective ways and inhibits us from co-creating a fulfilling and happy life.Leaning into our vulnerabilities requires spending time alone so we can confront the source of those … [Read more...]
