I am the Grandfather Lingam. (I am 4 million years old only, by my own reckoning. I am still very young upon the earth mother.) Like all other Lingams, I stretched out and reached a peak of energy. For now, our numbers are limited and therefore, very precious. So we will focus who and what we are. We are a gift to be given without abandon to all the two-leggeds because their need is strong. They too have reached a peak. The energy that they have offered the learning of separation has come to a … [Read more...]
Why it’s so Hard to be Kind to Ourselves
For most people, one of the enigmas of life is that we can show great kindness to others yet generally deny that same gift to ourselves. Something that sounds so simple can prove to be extraordinarily difficult. The wounds of childhood that perpetuate a sense of being unworthy or undeserving conspire with shame, guilt, a lack of self-love and other negative beliefs to prevent us from being genuinely kind to those who need it most - ourselves.Consider what the result might be if we were to hold … [Read more...]
The Play of Mystic
My kitten Mystic has taught me that no matter how old we are, we still need play. I adopted Mystic three weeks after saying good-bye to a very dear cat of mine, Jasmine. Mystic has taught me that hide-and-seek is not just for kids; it can be fun at any age. Peek-a-boo is another favorite. We all need more play in our lives, especially because life is so fast-paced. These simple games make a day more special and help us unwind. Mystic helps me look at life differently. She looks at everything … [Read more...]
An Overnight Evolution

Adding to the Dog Pack: Karmic Destiny
I had always looked at people with three dogs (or more) and thought they were nuts! Especially if they had three large dogs! "Too much commotion, one more dog than I have hands, not enough attention for each one...." On and on and on.Alas, one of the downfalls of being a professional animal communicator is that you are able to clearly hear what your animals are telling you. And my two Golden Retriever gal pals were clearly telling me one night, "There's another dog out there for … [Read more...]

Mainstream media's stab at HomeopathyConsumer Reports journalist, Doug Podolsky, took a stab at homeopathy in the recent issue of Consumer Reports. Despite more than 200 years of successful use for a variety of ailments, homeopathy is quackery, according to Podolsky who writes, "Check whether over-the-counter products are labeled homeopathic. If they are, we think you should put them back on the shelf." Podolsky's Consumer Reports piece references a 2005 study indicating homeopathy is … [Read more...]
An excerpt from JAVA: The True Story of a Shelter Dog Who Rescued a Woman
The rhythmic bumps on the interstate lulled Java into a slumber for the entire ride. When we reached the hotel, it was a different story. Gathering as much dog stuff as I could in one arm, I took the leashed dog in the other. Down the long, carpeted hallway we trotted, with Java sniffing and pulling like a dog on the trail of a fabulous scent. At the end of the hall was our room. I was exhausted and hoped Java still was, too.Unclipping her leash, I started to unpack our stuff as Java lunged … [Read more...]
If “Meat is Murder,” What Shall We Eat?
You might have seen this sticker on a car: Meat Is Murder. The driver may have expressed a profound revelation: "Animals are soul too, just like you and me! How can I eat my friend?! I would be a cannibal!" Also, many of us have seen footage on TV from inside a slaughterhouse or from one of those huge buildings in which thousands of pigs or chickens are raised on less space per animal than we ever thought possible. After our initial shock, the first thought coming to mind is, … [Read more...]
Letters
To the Editor,I am writing about the article "Putting the Yoga back in Yoga: An Open Letter to the North American Yoga Community" by Laiki Huxorli [Edge Life, May 2008]. I am really surprised you published this article, except that it is always fine to publish differing opinions. And opinion it is. This article was so judgmental I was almost embarrassed to be associated in the same category as this person - yoga teacher.An Open Letter? More like scathing letter! I know many yogis who … [Read more...]
What “The Secret” Doesn’t Reveal
