Awakening to ‘Pay Attention’

By 2 Comments
flower2

It was early on the morning of July 4 when I answered my phone. It was my mother, crying, and I knew it was about Lynn, my younger sister and closest friend. She had hung herself, and as my mother shared the details, a voice whispered in my other ear, "Pay Attention." As I was beginning to awaken in my own earnest process of healing and spiritual study, my teacher suggested that this experience was going to bring home in a powerful way all that I had been studying. I was going to be shown the … [Read more...]

A Revelation on Rollerblades

By 1 Comment
infant

One day as I was rollerblading around a city lake, I met a small group coming toward me. There was an older couple behind and a young couple in front. The young father had an infant in a carrier on his back. They were talking happily. I smiled and nodded to them as I whizzed by. As I came around the lake I saw the family again. The infant, in the carrier on the father's back, was facing me. The young mother was tending to the infant with her back toward me. I was struck by the look on the … [Read more...]

Your Body’s Owner’s Manual

By 1 Comment

When we are born, it would be helpful if we were given an owner's manual for our body, mind and soul. However, learning how to care for ourselves is part of our life's journey. But to make it a bit easier for you, let me share five key items that I believe would be included in our owner's manual. First, before the list began there would be a disclaimer that explains bio-individuality. Bio-individuality means that no perfect way of eating works for everybody. The food that is perfect for your … [Read more...]

My Spiritual Awakening

By 2 Comments
writing

The question that has been uppermost in my heart and mind lately is, "How does it happen that I knew as a 9 year old that I am innately good?" The almost indescribable difference this awareness has made in my life is most definitely palpable. I came into this life with an indomitable will. My understanding that nothing is in my way is a huge spiritual gift. My understanding is that, "All things work together for good. All things work together to bless me." My understanding lately is that … [Read more...]

False Gravity

By 1 Comment
upside_down

Gravity. It's not just a good idea, it's the law. The law, mind you. Meaning it cannot be broken. Ever. Sure, it can be manipulated, but it rules. It's only physical, though, right? It can't hold your mind down, can it? Keep your thoughts from staying put with you who think them? Surely, you have the power to send thoughts out which will not come back to their source. Right? I got to thinking about gravity the other day while putting groceries away. In a roundabout way, mind you, because … [Read more...]

Two messages make me a ‘believer’

By 1 Comment

Shortly after I had completed the choreography and worship service of the cantata "The Seven Last Words of Christ," I was asked to choreograph and work with the choir to present another cantata for the same church. "A Shaker Service" was the new cantata and, since I knew very little about the Shakers, I began to do some research. I discovered that dance was part of their worship and that they also used meditation. I had always been curious about meditation, so I read several books about it … [Read more...]

Many Teachers

Throughout my life, I have played the role of both the student and the teacher. I have been in the teacher role for most of my adult life but a few years ago, I decided to study tai chi and I was definitely in the student role. My teacher was excellent. He was very good at breaking things down so that we were able to confront many of the personal issues that are holding us back from our ultimate growth. My training wasn't just about tai chi. It was about life. There were many times when my … [Read more...]

Awakening & Doing What I Love

My journey started when I was finally ready to start a master's program. I knew there would be changes. I've had people ask me if I thought they would enjoy taking intuitive classes. I always respond: "If you like your life the way it is, it will definitely change once you start taking intuitive classes. You won't be the same person that you were." Yes, we change and grow, but the relationships that we value might not be there any more. Just because we are changing doesn't give us the right … [Read more...]

The Gift from Heaven

By 3 Comments
look_up

Experiences, dreams and intuitive moments that are spiritual in nature have given me validations of the link between this human existence and spirit. I have always felt that God had a purpose for me being here -- and not just purpose, but a very important, powerful purpose. I had a thought/feeling that I was going to die somewhere around my mid-thirties. I later realized that I wasn't going to actually physically die, but I was going to have a spiritual death and awakening. God's purpose for me … [Read more...]
