I’m on the island of Roátan this week. It’s a magical place. My husband scuba dives, and I tagged along. I managed to get up in time for breakfast today. I’m not a morning person, and we’re an hour ahead here. It’s taking me longer than usual to clear my head and get grounded. It…

Pattern Recognition
This is the introduction from my recent Emotions & Ailments Workshop, and I felt like it should be shared to a wider audience, because it speaks to the foundations of so many things that I do. The audio has more information that the teaching notes below, but some people prefer the written word to listening…
Maui is the Home of my Heart
If you are a person who avoids the news, Lahaina is pretty much GONE. The death count is rising. Kihei has been hit as well. The fires are still burning. At least the winds from the hurricane have died down and they can get water dropping helicopters in the air again. My best friend is…
Equal Footing (reprint)
In honor of Juneteenth, this is a light rewriting of a post from 2014. The Monday Message will return next week. Legends, mythology, and stories abound with people giving up their worldly possessions on the path to enlightenment. I think a lot of people don’t really get what that’s about. I’m not sure I did…
[Monday Message] Getting Past Dislike
A cute little video I put together to help us be at the same starting point on this We are here to evolve spiritually. Technically, we are here to re-member who we are. The process of that is spiritual evolution. Every person, critter, or situation comes into our lives as a teacher. Whenever we have…
[Monday Message] Clearing the energy in your space
Have you ever been aware of the spirit or the energy of a given location? Even if that location is your home, your work, your grandmother’s house? When you think about it now, let the awareness of the energy of those spaces wash over you. Every person who walks into a space is affected by…
[Monday Message] The Path
Why are we here? As a whole, I believe humanity is here to have all the experiences possible, so The Divine can have an experiential understanding of ourselves. Individually, our higher selves have chosen the path we will take in order to have those experiences. Since time is an illusion, all of the experiences and…
Walk Through the Doorway
Invitation The Essene Book of Days says “Samhain is the doorway to the sanctum sanctorum. Beyond this doorway lies the deep cavern of the Earth Mother’s womb, the creative abyss, from which grows all that is intuitive and contemplative and natural on this earth.” We are in Inanna’s Descent. Take a little bit of time…
Getting Ready for Change
If you’re Jewish, you don’t need me to tell you that Rosh Hashanah begins on Sunday. If you’re Wiccan, you don’t need me to tell you that we are approaching Samhain. If you aren’t either of those faiths, I’m just going to let you know they are markers of the New Year. Not all calendars…
[Monday Message] The Paradox of the Negative Ego
Here’s a paradox for you: It seems to be immensely difficult for most of us to not take things, or even life itself, personally. It’s challenging to wrap our minds around the idea that it’s not about us. If each person is the center of their Universe, and they are, the everything a person does…

Commenting, liking and subscribing over at You Tube is also helpful, thanks! I upload a new meditation to my YouTube channel every Wednesday, and I’ve got a Meditation…
What the heck is a sacred gyroscope?
A Sacred Gyroscope is a shamanic way of looking at and interacting with your world. It helps you see where you are in the world. It enhances your strengths and bolsters your weaknesses. It can show you your path. It can protect you. It includes the relational directions like left, right, up, and down, as…
