Last night I had a feeling...when the kids came back from their Dad's, which was really a weekend with their Grandma, sugary candy bags half eaten spilling out of their hands. I knew this was not going to go well, like hitting a brick wall with a tiny car at 60 mph. Myself recovering from a four-hour drive and a great weekend at a cabin with girlfriends coming to a rapid close. Back to reality with a BAM! Ah, but today is a new day! It just happens to be Monday.

Last December, I decided to attend a retreat in Finland, of all places. A retreat in -- say, Bermuda -- might've been preferable that time of year, especially for a Minnesotan. But the Finnish retreat would be led by Dave Oshana, a spiritual teacher I admire and respect, so I put on my heated socks, zipped up my parka and got on a plane.

Every time I hear someone blatantly espousing the catch phrase "change is good," I want to scream out, "It depends on what's being changed, and then you have to consider all the ramifications!" When spring finally arrives, we feel a surge of personal renewal from the rebirthing of our long-yearned-for plant life. During the summer we're glorified by the hues and scents of our blooming flowers; the birds, bees, butterflies and other insects they attract; and our lush trees. For many of us, … [Read more...]

The Key to Becoming a Better, Faster Manifestor By now you are no doubt familiar with the principles of Law of Attraction and Conscious Creation, and have seen or read The Secret -- and you are aware of using the power of positively directed thought to improve your life. But let's be honest: How often do you remember to apply these? Maybe once or twice a month? Or when you come across something you really want to manifest -- so you get busy visualizing?

By 1 Comment

Ritual has its roots in religion, and life's fundamental passages are often traditionally accompanied by religious ritual. But life's great passages are by nature spiritual. They affirm human mystery and mutability, our connection with the universal. Rituals serve as a bridge between our outer and inner worlds, between the profane and the sacred, and between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Rituals: Afford us a sense of belonging. When we engage in the ritual process we are, in … [Read more...]
