When you are lost in the woods

I’ve been slowly integrating the energy from the last Akashic Records study group call, and it’s been deliciously healing! We all showed up with huge questions, but when we connected to the Akashic Records as a group, we quickly found common ground, and the guidance each person brought forth resonated with each individual. We learned so much about connecting with creativity just by being in the moment and aligning with universal flow. I am particularly grateful for the insight one Read more…

Choosing grace

A few weeks ago I started feeling myself in some whirling energy and when I checked with my Akashic Records I was shown a whirlpool and given the word “roiling.” That’s not a word I drop in my everyday language but it hit me viscerally, and I recognized the roiling motion of the energy both around me and in my gut. It had been awhile since I’d found myself with no stable ground to stand Read more…

Perfection not progress

Excerpt from Louise Penny’s latest Inspector Gamache novel, Glass Houses. “Progress not perfection.” Here’s a phrase—apparently with roots in AA—that gets bandied around to inspire people to take things one day at a time, moment by moment. Instead of pushing for a perfect end goal, we rejoice in our micro achievements. Still, language is tricky, and sometimes in the very word progress we smuggle in all our old attachments to outcome. Over the last year, Read more…

Doing the work

Yesterday I wrote that healing is best approached from an empowered and empowering stance. No one is here to “fix” or “save” anyone else, and if you go around propping up your sense of self worth trying to do this work for others, it’s a sign to turn inward and find the part of yourself that feels like a victim. For it’s only when you’ve been through a process of deep healing that you can really Read more…

All healing is self healing

All healing is self healing. I say this a lot because it’s true on both sides. The deeper I dive into my own healing process, the deeper my clients are willing to go in their work. The more I work on releasing my fears, the more confident I am that my clients will find their way. And the more I practice living from a centered Self, the more masterful I am in holding space for others even as Read more…

Happiness

I’ve been helping a private client connect to her heart, and one of the skills we were working on is discovering our truest desires. Sometimes we can barely admit to ourselves what these are, or we figure “why bother” because they seem so unattainable. For this client, the desire was happiness. One of her limiting beliefs popped up immediately: “I don’t know if happiness is worth it.” But under inspection that belief crumbled right away when Read more…

Disconnection

Here’s a small sign that you’ve disconnected from yourself: You’re in a group trying to decide where to eat and you’re like, “Wherever you want.” Maybe you’re thinking “I’m easy.” And that’s fine. But if you get to the restaurant and scan the menu and can’t figure out what you want to order, that could be a sign you’ve disconnected from yourself. Maybe it’s because you’ve ended up at a place you don’t really like Read more…

Akashic Record healing as self healing

I’ve started teaching the Akashic Records study group some of the healing techniques that the Akashic Records have been teaching me for over a year now, and everyone seems just as excited as I am about these new practices! When I first began learning how to deal with trauma as a reader, my teacher taught me how to conduct body scans in order to see or sense the subtle energy bodies of clients. But more and more I’ve found that the Records Read more…

Follow your heart

Here’s a cliché that’s so often misunderstood. “Follow your heart” does not mean hold onto the people who break your heart because you love them and deep down you see the goodness of their soul. “Follow your bliss” does not mean “do what makes you happy,” or that you have to be in a constant state of giddy joy all day, every day. Neither does it mean following the whims of unbalanced emotions. Following your Read more…

Akashic Record healing

A little over three years ago I started learning how to handle trauma within Akashic Record readings. It wasn’t something I was super comfortable with from the get go, and I would freak out a little whenever it came up in a reading. I started praying for ways to empower my clients more, and such is the power of prayer and intention: my Akashic Records work began shifting organically. I found that I was increasingly Read more…
