"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 you find the inner reserves of strength to change as well. To do this, you have to take the time to go within. Once you realize what’s up for change, you can use this regenerative clearing process as a part of your spiritual development. Autumn is my favorite time of the year. I love the cooler weather, the changing leaves of the trees, and harvesting apples and pumpkins; but, it’s the regenerative clearing process that I love the most. As I looked out my front window this week, I was … [Read more...]
4 Ways to Transcend Fear and Negativity
To facilitate a shift in our current consciousness, we must transcend fear and negativity, and ascend to the soul of love. We can do this by learning how to connect to a higher power or divine source (whatever that means to us) through our hearts. Most of us feel adrift and detached, having lost our spiritual compass and any kind of higher guidance. We tend to wander aimlessly through life, waiting for someone to define our purpose or something to fill the spiritual void we experience. Thus, we try to shift the burden of responsibility for our spiritual awakening onto others and do not acknowledge the innate power we have to create it for … [Read more...]
3 Sacred Keys for Lightworkers to Heal Their Wounded Inner Child
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” ~ T.S. Elliot Although each person’s soul journey is unique, the developmental process we experience is the same. Such transformation involves spiritual growth in one way or another. And this growth requires healing our psychic pain, “our wounded child.” Most people choose to remain developmentally stuck rather than face their wounded child. Their emotional paralysis stems from their fear of experiencing their emotional pain. When we avoid working through such loss, trauma, and emotional … [Read more...]
Being Response-able for Co-Creating Your Reality
Just hearing the word “responsibility” can feel heavy even daunting. Yet, to co-create the divine life we want, we have to be responsible for our intentions and the choices that we make. So, let’s think of being responsible as being “response-able”—that is, being able to respond to life situations instead of reacting to them. Responding rather than reacting to life helps us to make more enlightened choices. For example, suppose you are ready to leave the house for a scheduled appointment and someone who is going with you is dawdling and not ready to go. You could react by nagging or becoming upset and feeling at the mercy of the other … [Read more...]
Breaking Free of Our Comfort Zones
“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” —Maya Angelou In 1992, a Chinese freighter mistakenly dropped a crate of 30,000 rubber duckies into the Pacific Ocean. Three months later, many of these “friendly floatees” were discovered on the coasts of Indonesia, Australia, and South America. Some daring ducks headed toward Alaska by crossing the Bering Strait and even sailed through the Arctic Ocean, finally landing on the coast of England. Due to the accidental release of the rubber duckies, scientists were able to better understand ocean currents and wave patterns. … [Read more...]
3 Ways to Remain Positive & Centered During Intense Transitions
“Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Transitions are intense periods of discovery, self-healing, and personal transformation and open space for new possibilities and spiritual growth. From a spiritual point of view, a person’s life is a constant series of transitions: changing jobs or careers, suffering from and healing an illness, beginning or ending relationships, having a baby or facing a death in the family, and initiating or completing creative … [Read more...]
Tap into Your Spiritual Resilience in Times of Crisis
“Tapping into the potential of your spirit is what enables us to manifest miracles.” —Deepak Chopra Our spiritual resilience makes it possible not only to endure hardship and suffering, but to use any challenging situation for spiritual growth and transcend even the most devastating circumstances in our lives. When we can rise above whatever is happening in our lives, we increase our compassion for others. Spiritual resilience involves connecting to a divine energy source greater than ourselves. The spirit, a vital link between the physical plane and the soul, interacts with and animates an otherwise lifeless existence. It is the … [Read more...]
We Are In an Evolution of Love
We are in the midst of an evolution of love. We have the opportunity to open our hearts more than ever before, and experience love in ways we may not have been capable of in the past. Instead of operating from such fear-based polarities such as right/wrong, good/bad, and win/lose, we have the chance to awaken to the energetic power of love, which transcends physical time and form, and exists beyond problems, limitations, and suffering. Knowing that we are love will heal us in such a profound way that we will become conduits for the expression of love with ourselves, loved ones, and the world. And, since unity and duality coexist, it is … [Read more...]
