At some point in history, that part of us that said “don’t leave the cave and you won’t get eaten” kept humans alive. So that operating system believes that, if it is not in charge, we are going to die. So it makes a lot of noise to keep our attention, and gets louder when…

[Monday Message] Getting Comfortable with Others
How good are you at getting comfortable with others? How do you feel in a crowd? Are you comfortable or anxious? Can you relax? How do you feel at a small gathering? Are you comfortable, interested, engaged? Or are you shy and nervous? How do you respond to meeting a new person? It’s surprising how…
Walk Through the Doorway
Invitation The Essene Book of Days says “Samhain is the doorway to the sanctum sanctorum. Beyond this doorway lies the deep cavern of the Earth Mother’s womb, the creative abyss, from which grows all that is intuitive and contemplative and natural on this earth.” We are in Inanna’s Descent. Take a little bit of time…
[Monday Message] Doing Things in Spite of Fear
I talk all the time about fear being an illusion. That doesn’t mean we don’t have the experience of it on a regular basis. Fear is a fact of being human. Not letting it affect us, not letting it deter us from action, that is the spiritual act. It has been said that fear is…
[Meditation] Love For Self
I’ve uploaded a new guided meditation to increase your love for yourself. I’d love to hear (read) about your experience with it. Please share it with people who might need it! Commenting, liking and subscribing over at You Tube is also helpful, thanks! I upload a new meditation to my YouTube channel every Wednesday, and…
[Monday Message] Uncovering Who You Are
Uncovering who you are is much like a sculptor creating their art. I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David. -Michelangelo Your essence, your very core being, simply is. There is…
[Monday Message] Relax Into the Flow
When you relax into the flow of what is, of how things really work, when you allow the physical to support the mind, and the mind to support the Spirit, all will be well. The things of the heart are more weighty and more powerful than the things of the mind. They carry more energy,…
[Monday Message] Realistic Self Worth
Many wisdom keepers and wisdom sharers advise not basing your sense of self worth on the opinions of others, good or bad. That’s just another manner in which we give our power away. Measuring your self worth by the emotions of others is a sure-fire way to drain your energy, stunt your growth, and make…
Getting Ready for Change
If you’re Jewish, you don’t need me to tell you that Rosh Hashanah begins on Sunday. If you’re Wiccan, you don’t need me to tell you that we are approaching Samhain. If you aren’t either of those faiths, I’m just going to let you know they are markers of the New Year. Not all calendars…
[Monday Message] Life is an Adventure
Do you allow adventure in? If not, why not? What stops you? What fears come up that keep you from living your dreams? Are the worst case scenarios of those fears really as bad as knowing that you will be disappointed at the end of your life that, when opportunity knocked, you didn’t even open…
Taking your power back during Mercury Retrograde
This post is excerpted from the September newsletter Humans are wired to notice the negative more than the positive. At one point in our evolution, it was a survival skill. The point might have been your childhood, but maybe you were lucky and it’s just an ancient ancestors thing. In any event, this tendency, which…
[Monday Message] The Paradox of the Negative Ego
Here’s a paradox for you: It seems to be immensely difficult for most of us to not take things, or even life itself, personally. It’s challenging to wrap our minds around the idea that it’s not about us. If each person is the center of their Universe, and they are, the everything a person does…
