[Monday Message] Allowing for the miracle

How often have you allowed the words of others, or even your own mindset, to limit you? If you would like a miracle to happen in your life, maybe even more than one, you have to make space. When you get stuck in your ideas, there is no space for magic. When we draw a…

[Monday Message] Change Your Reality

What is reality, anyway? There’s a scientific theory, yet to be disproved, that space-time, the fabric of the universe and apparently the backdrop against which reality plays out, is a hologram (here’s another link in case you don’t subscribe to New Scientist). As a Shaman, I see no falsehood in the idea. To me, all…

[Monday Message] Exercising free will

Every person with a physical body has a Negative Ego. This is a part of us that is a holdover from the time of little technology and lots of predators above our weight class, so to speak. The Negative Ego told us “don’t leave the cave, and you won’t get eaten.” While it’s a fear-based…

[Monday Message] Letting Go of Past Patterns

We all have patterns. Once we become aware of them, they annoy us (or traumatize us, or make us feel poorly about ourselves). We seem to be having the same boss/roommate/partner over and over and over again. Newsflash: The Universe is not doing this TO you. If you’re going to attribute it to the Universe…

[Monday Message] Slow Down

Oftentimes, I find myself rushing when what I really need to do is slow down. The only moment that exists is right now. When I ruminate too much on the past, I’m obsessing about things I can’t change. When I project too far into the future, I’m living in stories, and I’m ineffectual. I live…

[Monday Message] Good is an Active Choice

Negativity is the absence of positivity. Darkness is the absence of light. Evil is the absence of good. Today, make a choice. Decide to do something about the state of your life, the state of your community, the state of the world. And then take action. You get to have a say in how things…

[Monday Message] Clearing the energy in your space

Have you ever been aware of the spirit or the energy of a given location? Even if that location is your home, your work, your grandmother’s house? When you think about it now, let the awareness of the energy of those spaces wash over you. Every person who walks into a space is affected by…

[Monday Message] Breaking the judgment habit

Judgment comes from the negative ego and, as such, is restrictive. It is a tool, designed to keep us from growing and progressing, which allows our negative ego to stay in charge. Judgment binds us to karma, both ours and the karma of others, and keeps us out of acceptance. Karma is a choice. I’ve…

[Monday Message] Live Life to its Fullest

What if you got to the very end of this life and, when you left your body, you discovered that the Divine had your back all along? That playing it safe hadn’t served you? That you could have lived life to its fullest? What if you knew that now? How would you live your life?…

[Monday Message] Being truly rich

Being truly rich is a frame of mind. It has nothing to do with how much wealth you have, or how big your house is, or what kind of car you drive. It has nothing to do with “keeping up with the Joneses”. Prosperity can be measured by how many people love you, by how…

[Monday Message] Growth

Growth requires hard work. Sometimes the hard work is done by our bodies, behind the scenes, like when we are growing up. Sometimes the hard work is conscious and physical, whether it’s learning a new workout routine, a new instrument, or simply leveling up in a physical skill. Sometimes the hard work is emotional, as…
