In process

I’ve been wondering why it’s been so challenging for me to get this post series out and yet feel the need to do this now instead of waiting for the flow, as I usually do. There is something here tied to what I’ve been going through and which also harkens back to my post last month about writing from the intellect instead of a deeper source. Usually I write either as a careful craft or Read more…

Alignment

try to move forward to piece together everything I’ve been sitting with for the last couple months, but I find myself circling back, spiraling again, around an idea of then and now. I keep saying how 2018 was something of an inflection point for me. One of the biggest pieces that clicked in for me right at the start of last year was the feeling of rejoining the table of creation as an equal. Then Read more…

No urgency

For the last month I’ve been struggling to put into words how odd it’s been with my manifestation mantra process this year. Yesterday I mentioned how I started off years ago from a place of wanting to fix what seemed broken or fill what seemed missing. Then last year I started living in fullness. That is, 2018 was the first year on my conscious path that I didn’t feel the need to focus on self Read more…

Mantra check-in

We’ve rounded out the first quarter of the year, and I’ve been taking stock of what my manifestation mantra has brought into my awareness and life thus far. My 2019 mantra is “to align myself with Source,” and it’s been been surprisingly different working with it. Not sure why I am so surprised because surprise is part of the process—and a delightful one at that. But it’s been challenging articulating even to myself what’s been Read more…

Happy adoptaversary!

A few weeks after my dad died Spirit started whispering “cat” into my heart. I broached the idea with my husband, who just about did a double-take because he too had been thinking it would be nice to live with a cat once again. We were both going through tough times and finding it hard to show up for ourselves, much less each other. Somehow “cat” seemed to be the answer. We started looking through Read more…

Pop-up Akasha: Centering lab

Last year I started getting nudges to host “pop-up Akasha” events, and to be honest, I ignored them because I didn’t want to figure out the how and why—forgetting that that wasn’t my job. Last February things came to a head and I couldn’t ignore the call any longer, so I hosted a pop-up Akasha Mystery and Mastery gathering. I was super nervous beforehand even though I knew better not to be. It was just Read more…

#amwriting

Not here but in private, in long form, and in a way I haven’t written in years. In doing this, I’ve been thinking back on all the time I spent learning to get out of my head and into my heart and body, and how in the midst of that process my Akashic Records reminded me not to forget about my mind. Back then I was so fearful to reintegrate that aspect of myself for Read more…

Centering and boundaries

Boundaries for me are kind of like forgiveness: If you’re doing it right, they are a non-issue. If it feels like a chore involving all sorts of mental and emotional acrobatics, guess what? It’s an invitation to find your center. I used to be a mindfulness tool collector, so I’ve tried everything at least once. I like the philosophy of non-violent communication, but it’s always struck me as too clunky for spontaneous use. And most Read more…

Holding space

Yesterday I addressed the false belief that centering means being able to come to a point of comfort after shifting out the pain. From my perspective that is not centering. That is jumping the gun to release something you haven’t yet fully looked at. Centering, at heart, is being with What Is. To do this most fully we need to be able to hold space for whatever is coming up in our life and in Read more…

Centering is not always comfortable

In many respects, centering can feel like coming home. But there are cases where that doesn’t hold true. Yesterday I shared how I instinctually knew what I had to do when I was knocked off center with the news of my dad’s impending death. I didn’t know it then, but my brilliant system guided me toward sharing the news with one person outside of my family so that I could begin grounding myself in my Read more…
