Befriending Fear

Most people are not aware of how much fear runs their lives, but trying to get rid of fear only causes more fear. Instead, the shift is all about getting to know the stories of fear you took on.   As soon as you can see the cloud bank of fear you crawled into as you grew…

The Power of the Heart to Heal

If you haven’t seen the movie I AM yet, gift yourself by seeing it (it is available through NetFlix).  In many ways, it is the message that was so beautifully presented in the movie Living Matrix.  The focus of that movie was that the heart is who we really are and it explores the leading…

This Is How We Are Called

In the hours before the birds stream airborne with climbing voice, a silent breath rests in the pines and upholds the surface of the lake, as if it were a fragile bubble in the very hand of God. And I think, this is how we are called – to cup our hands and hold this…

2012 – Waking Up from the Dream of Separation

We are standing on the threshold of this most momentous year – 2012 – the year that in the Mayan calendar is the end of a 5,125-year cycle.  There are predictions of this being the “end of the world” and some are calling it the time of the Apocalypse. Does that bring fear up inside…

Lost In the Clouds of Our Minds

Here is a metaphor that will elucidate what we explored in my November’s newsletter – the okayness that is your natural state.  Imagine a beautiful meadow on a sunlit morning.  In this meadow there is a rainbow of wildflowers, along with the heart-opening music of the birds. The smell of heather and the pristine beauty…

When Life Upsets You, It’s a Set-Up

There are only two kinds of experiences you are having at any given moment: Life is either inviting you into the wonder and the joy of being fully here for life or it is putting you in situations where you can see, love and let go of the spells you took on when you were…

What If Everything Were Okay?

Imagine a day where everything was totally okay.  You may have just fallen in love; or you received something you have wanted for a long time; or you’re on vacation with no pressures, lying on a beach in deep contentment.  Allow the imaginings of your okay day to completely fill you.  Fully let the okayness…
