There’s a reason why this Rumi poem makes the rounds: A lot of us operate on the mistaken belief that uncomfortable feelings and “negative” thoughts are “bad.” Perhaps it’s a result of misguided interpretations of the “law of attraction,” or what it means to “follow your heart,” or “raise your vibration.” Whatever Read more…
In yesterday’s post about centering I mentioned releasing and receiving as part of grounding into the Earth. I’ve found that some students who are already familiar with grounding techniques sometimes lose sight of the two-way flow of Earth energy. When we ground we stand in relationship to the planet, giving love, releasing what no longer serves us, and receiving Read more…
The way the Akashic Records taught me to center, and how I now teach others, is to let yourself find your center in the present moment, rather than to predetermine where you think your center should be, or to insist that it remain in the same place each time. This can Read more…
Did you know that your Akashic Records practice can support your meditation practice? I learned this through a bout of frustration trying to read for myself as a beginner. A lot of students facing frustration will start avoiding their practice altogether. But I found that I really missed being in the supportive frequencies of Read more…
Late last November I was sitting in meditation and had the distinct feeling that I should drop everything I was working on and clear the decks. For what, I had no idea. This had been a growing sense at the margins of my awareness for a some weeks prior, but it hit me with a sudden force while I was meditating, and when I felt more consciously into it, my body felt an immediate sense of relief even though my mind was protesting.

Last night I had the puzzling feeling that I shouldn’t sign up for my usual Tuesday trapeze class. This morning, my intuition hadn’t changed, but I decided to check the class schedule anyway, and found that the last remaining spots had been taken between the time I went to bed Read more…
“I had a question about that!” These were the words of my client during a recent reading. I was responding to her question, and somehow that response managed to answer another question that she had forgotten to ask, but was resting somewhere in the back of her mind, lingering in her heart. “That was my next question!” or “I was gonna ask that question!” are also common utterances.
It never fails to amaze me when an Akashic Record reading anticipates our questions. (more…)
I recently came across an article by mindfulness and meditation teacher and author Jon Kabat-Zinn that really resonated with me as I started looking back on the two years of sharing a whole variety of meditation techniques and mindfulness tools via Dreamers & Schemers. My tendency is to try anything Read more…
I had this great list of things we could do in our intuition “playshop,” but all anyone wanted to do was draw cards. So here I will simply list all the other ideas I had, and then move on to my tips for working with oracle/tarot cards in the easiest, Read more…
