All of us are born with the ability to be an open channel of spiritual information, for it is our divine nature. Although each person tunes in to this energy and information differently, we all tap the same divine source. It’s not our “ability” which determines the extent to which we can receive and use this energy, but rather how open and aware we are. For a highly sensitive person (HSP), it’s natural and easy to be open and receptive. As a highly sensitive person, you have chosen an extraordinary time to be on earth to assist in the healing and expansion of our human consciousness. It’s an extraordinary gift to be highly aware, deeply … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Stay Calm in the Midst of Chaos
It’s not easy remaining calm in the center of a storm raging around you. When fear or chaos arrive and you feel yourself spinning out with anxiety, you have the power to choose to respond rather than react.

Knowing that we are love will heal us in such a profound way that we will become conduits for the expression of love with ourselves, loved ones, and the world. And, since unity and duality coexist, it is … [Read more...]
3 Ways to Lean into Your Vulnerabilities & Open to Love
“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; the word is love.” —Sophocles The more we lean into our vulnerabilities, the more open we become to love. The areas of our lives in which we feel most vulnerable are health, relationships, and finances. Whether or not we had a healthy and loving childhood, we all experience some form of emotional pain as a reflection of the human condition. Our subsequent pain, when left unresolved, keeps us living in habitual, protective ways and inhibits us from co-creating a fulfilling and happy life. Leaning into our vulnerabilities requires spending time alone so we can confront the source of … [Read more...]
Spiritual Completion Takes Forgiving Our Past
Spiritual completion takes forgiving our past. This means spiritually releasing every pattern that no longer serves or supports your soul’s path. I’ve been asked over the years, “What’s the difference between completion and closure?” Simply, completion is a spiritual process whereas closure is a physical one. When we spiritually complete a pattern, we let go of it energetically. For instance, patterns are circular so we can visualize cosmic pinking scissors cutting the pattern, straightening it out like a path, and then walking off of it. This process cuts the ties we have to this karmic pattern. It signals to the universe that we have … [Read more...]

This helps us refrain from reacting from our fear and responding with love. Besides interrupting our knee-jerk reactions, we can consciously observe the situation from a more expansive spiritual perspective. Taking such a purposeful break affords you the opportunity to … [Read more...]

Honoring Healthy Energetic Boundaries When Caregiving
Healthy caregiving is a loving, energetic exchange in which we are the conduits for light force energy. This exchange results in a positive energy flow first to ourselves and then to others through the heart center. As a true caregiver, we can open our heart compassionately in healthy detachment and maintain a positive flow of energy with the other person without suffering with them. This compassionate detachment keeps us from taking things “to heart” which can stress the heart center, resulting in physical and emotional distress or depression. The pattern of caretaking, on the other hand, takes its toll on us physically, emotionally, even … [Read more...]

Let Go of Fear and Just Trust
Letting go is one of the most important, yet most difficult spiritual principles that we need to incorporate into our lives. Too often we brace ourselves for change instead of letting go and embracing change as an opportunity for our personal transformation. When we resist change, we actually generate more energy around our deepest insecurities, drawing toward us what we fear most. Letting go takes an open heart, expanded awareness, a grand sense of humor and a conscious practice to move through fear. It also requires surrounding ourselves with loving people and environments that support us releasing what is necessary in a healthy and … [Read more...]
