“To give love more generously, you have to receive love more graciously.” ~ Dr. Debra Reble Giving and receiving love releases a continuous stream of positive energy that supports spiritual clarity, creativity, and personal effectiveness; strengthens the immune system, eliminates energy blocks, and diminishes fear, stress, and negativity. It brings you into emotional balance so you feel less irritated when someone cuts in front of you in traffic, or when your partner makes an insensitive remark. It also helps you better observe your reactions, stop negative self-talk, cease judging others, and access your inner emotional guidance to make … [Read more...]
Holding the Space of Love in the Midst of Trying Times
To 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, and we must trust that love has the power to open our hearts, raise our vibration, … [Read more...]
Honoring Healthy Energetic Boundaries When Caregiving
Healthy caregiving is a loving, energetic exchange in which we are the conduits for light force energy. This exchange results in a positive energy flow first to ourselves and then to others through the heart center. As a true caregiver, we can open our heart compassionately in healthy detachment and maintain a positive flow of energy with the other person without suffering with them. This compassionate detachment keeps us from taking things “to heart” which can stress the heart center, resulting in physical and emotional distress or depression. The pattern of caretaking, on the other hand, takes its toll on us physically, emotionally, even … [Read more...]
6 Prescriptions for Restoring Your Inner and Outer Balance
Creating balance in our life is key to enhancing our health, relationships, and wellbeing. We are experiencing a particularly intense period of healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation. During this tumultuous shift, we can create inner balance by trusting ourselves and moving through these times with lightness, love, and an inner knowing that we are prepared for whatever comes our way. It is essential that we balance our energies by taking precious care of ourselves and by letting go of more in our lives than ever before. When you think of balance, you probably visualize a scale where both sides are equal. But balance isn’t about … [Read more...]
The Message in the Miracle: Healing Old Wounds
Last Tuesday morning I was excited to open my e-mail anticipating further instructions for a women’s empowerment summit I was invited to do and had previously been a part of. I had talked with the host’s virtual assistant just the day before and was looking forward to the interview that we scheduled with her. But when I read the e-mail, my heart sunk. The note said that my e-mail list size was too small to meet their requirements and for that reason I would no longer be included in the summit. I still struggle with the masculine business model that many in the industry use that puts ‘numbers’ over relationships or wisdom. Tears filled my … [Read more...]

Creating Compassionate Community for Our Children
“What if our religion was each other. If our practice was our life. If prayer, our words. What if the temple was the earth. If forests were our church. If holy water—the rivers, lakes, and oceans. What if meditation was our relationships. If the Teacher was self-knowledge. If love was the center of our being.” —Ganga White This is the third installment of my 3-part Return to Love article series. You can read the first article in the series here and the second one here. To create a global climate of love, we have to start by establishing an environment of compassionate community in our workplaces, schools, and homes. This requires … [Read more...]
Connect to the Power of Love and Change the World
This is the second installment of my 3-part Return to Love article series. You can read the first article in the series here. The more we connect with the power of universal love, the more we can become fully realized as one creational energy, one communal consciousness, and one universal heart. The innate power of love transcends categories of gender, culture, race, and religion, becoming greater than the energy of each individual. As a result, this universal flow of energy keeps expanding in all directions until our whole life experience becomes infused with love. The evolution of humanity has brought us to the pinnacle of our spiritual … [Read more...]
Practicing the 5 Steps of Compassionate Detachment
Being compassionate toward others doesn’t require us to engage in any unhealthy physical or emotional experiences a person may be having. In fact, compassion requires that we remove ourselves from their physical process, and instead support from a place where we feel stable and empowered. We can communicate that we love a person while still refusing to play a part in their drama. For instance, when someone wants to vent about a particular issue, we can listen with an open heart but still refrain from taking on their negativity, giving unsolicited advice, or trying to fix the situation. This allows us to provide loving support yet remain calm, … [Read more...]
Let Go of Fear and Just Trust
Letting go is one of the most important, yet most difficult spiritual principles that we need to incorporate into our lives. Too often we brace ourselves for change instead of letting go and embracing change as an opportunity for our personal transformation. When we resist change, we actually generate more energy around our deepest insecurities, drawing toward us what we fear most. Letting go takes an open heart, expanded awareness, a grand sense of humor and a conscious practice to move through fear. It also requires surrounding ourselves with loving people and environments that support us releasing what is necessary in a healthy and … [Read more...]
