The clearest intention I held going into this retreat was simply to see where my inner flow would take me. Frankly, I wasn’t prepared for the strength of the inward pull and merely thought I was taking advantage of a coincidence of external circumstances that made this retreat possible. (As if life doesn’t deliver just what we need precisely when we need it). I’ve been doing some reading and writing, but it turns out that a good deal of this retreat Read more…
This lunar cycle has been super intense for me. I am not usually so keyed into the moon but right after the eclipse I felt my energy withdraw sharply from the external world. I tend to live on the knife’s edge, meaning I don’t spend much time planning. I take each step as it comes, not always knowing what it’s all building to. Over my retreat, puzzle pieces have been falling into place, much of it in meditation and dreamtime, though Read more…
As I stood outside last night under the blood moon I wasn’t inspired to do any rituals. I had been feeling a bit off and kind of fuzzy around the edges the last couple days, so I held an intention for rebalancing and opened to the moon, the stars, the wind, the snow, the honking of the geese, and the ground beneath my feet. When I felt full and complete I went back in for a Read more…
Yesterday I wrote about compassionate boundary-setting as an alternative to wall-building, and how it takes great gentleness, compassion, and self-compassion to trust in the process and timing of everyone’s spiritual evolution, including your own. Later in the day, this message around walls (or, rather, not walls) and gentleness was driven home again. During an energy attunement session with a client, the spirit of play came in full force as an expansive, animating energy and it pulled in the field of infinite possibility Read more…
Yesterday I shared my simple way for clearing other people’s energies from your field and setting up appropriate boundaries—not via shielding or protection or (ahem) wall-building, but by knowing and maintaining your divine center. Perhaps the trickiest part is letting go of outcomes and trusting that the other person will find his/her own way in perfect timing. This may very well take longer than your ego or heart may wish. But when you begin to master this practice, you ask to Read more…
One habit that keeps us constricted, weighed down, or closed off to possibility is the tendency to take on energies in the form of beliefs, opinions, judgments, and worries that are not ours to begin with. This is especially true when it comes to loved ones or clients (if you are on the path of service). If you identify with being an empath, you might be doing this with more distant people in your life or even perfect Read more…
I have been feeling and experiencing an influx of supporting energies streaming in for myself and my clients for the new year. All you have to do is ask and open to receive, clear, and align. I’ve been getting some thrilling reports on folks who are trying out my manifestation mantra process and am sharing one from @lauraleerussell to encourage others to give it a go. There is massive opportunity for healing, transformation, and coming into wholeness in 2019. If you ride the Read more…
One of the greatest barriers not merely to a meditation practice, but to the Self, is the inability to connect with stillness. Here is where we can clear some misconceptions quite easily:When we “try” to meditate, we often go into the experience with the feeling that we are totally alone in this, and that it is entirely up to us to impose stillness and silence upon ourselves. This is why a guided, buddy, or group meditation Read more…
A little over a year ago I received the nudge during meditation to shut down Dreamers & Schemers for no apparent reason. Trusting my inner guidance I let the group go and underwent a year of deep learning. Less than a month ago, all signs pointed to reconvening, but from different energetic ground. I spent two full years calling for this higher ground because I wanted to deepen the work we were doing. And just Read more…
When I was in grad school I learned how to ski and totally fell in love with the sport because it forced me to drop all my anxiety and focus on the here and now. When I picked up flying trapeze, I noticed a lot of flyers said the same thing, that they loved flying because when they’re up in the air they can’t worry about anything else. We chase this feeling, putting ourselves in demanding—even potentially scary— situations because Read more…
