From time to time, we are all overwhelmed by things that happen in our lives from the mundane like keeping up the house, raising the kids, work, to the extreme: financial crises, medical emergencies or even a death of a loved one. Some days it feels too much for us to handle so we shut down, shut off, turn in, tune out or whatever we do to climb inside our cocoon of self protection. Some of us wallow and wade through the muck, mulling these things over and over until we cannot think another second, while others of us find a quiet from the solace within.
We all handle our stressful life's moments in different ways, carrying the load or burying it. Somedays we are so burdened that we struggle just to move ahead through the day.
But Spirit wants us to know that we can always count on one blessing-and that is a New Day. Tomorrow. We are asked to give ourselves a fresh perspective with the rising of the sun. It seems to provide hope, even if it is just a glimmer in a shining moment, of a new beginning, a new creation or manifestion of something different for ourselves.
So the next time you have one of these heavy days that you feel everwhelmed with, Spirit asks that you give yourself another sunrise to breathe in. You might find the fresh perspective of the New Day just what you need to get things moving on the right track. -
Have you recently spent time wanting more from life? More money, more love, more patience, more time...the list goes on of what many of us want. Coming from this place of lack, however, does not serve us.
If we think about the Universe in an All-Having, All-Giving way, the Universe can only give us what we are asking for. But by asking for this and that we imply to the Universe that we have a lack of whatever it is that we are asking for. If we are to manifest these things we are wanting, we must understand the laws of the Universe. Just like knowing that if we drop something from a height it will fall as we trust the Universal Law of Gravity, we must come with a knowing that the Universal Law of Attraction will give us back more of what we put out vibrationally.
The biggest question surrounding this is-if I don't have something that I am wanting, how am I to feel as though I have it? It seems somewhat counter-intuitive to think this way, but simply put the Universe only understands vibration and feeling, not words. So in order to attract something we must think from the end, as though we already have it and feel as if it is already manifested.
So in it's simplest form, be grateful for the wealth, prosperity, love, joy etc that you already have and more of it will come.

My favorite astrologer-Nancy Ogren-Miller in Fort Collins,CO sent information about the full moon today, February 7th. The most interesting part of the notes that Nancy has made is that Neptune has returned to Pisces. According to Nancy, "The big news is that Neptune moved into Pisces, where it will remain till 2025. This is a very new and different journey. Neptune was here in Pisces for a short time last year, from April to August, and that really awakened so many memories for us of our true alignment to the spirit of the Divine. We haven’t experienced the full effects of Neptune in Pisces since 1847-1861. We know we are moving into a very different and remarkable time. The fact that the Mayans chose this time to ask us to open to a shift in perceptions really has a great deal of support and energy through this sojourn into Pisces by Neptune. We also know there is another side to this experience, and that is the level of illusion, diversion, and avoidance we may also encounter, and that’s understood. However, on a different vibration, what’s being offered us is access to a vibration we will want to expand and experience."
This is incredible news for us in the healing industry, but also for anyone wanting to expand their connection with Spirit. I have been told by Spirit numerous times over the past months that meditation is the direct way of connection and that we need this as much as we need water.
Now is the time to meditate and expand and look to fulfill our greatest desires and plans.

I have recently been listening to some wonderful things from Dr. Wayne Dyer, and find that I have needed to contemplate some of my own issues. I have found in my contemplation, that I have felt further and further away from Spirit in my daily practice. I connect very easily when I sit down to do a session with someone, and I have wondered what the difference is from the day to day to the practice during a session.
What I have determined is that it is much easier to connect to Source when you are giving and doing for others. I have been forced to realize that I give and do very little for myself from day to day and now understand that this is something that is not optional in order for me to have more to give to others. The more I give to others the more I have to give again and again.
I encourage each of us to ask Spirit to help us reach out in an act of kindness to our fellow beings and see what rewards sharing a little or a lot can bring.
Many Blessings to you and yours during this wonderful season.

Can I Change My Life With Positive Thought? The answer to this question is absolutely YES! The concepts of the power of positive thought and the Universal Law of Attraction are not new concepts, however. They have existed far back in our history. And just like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Attraction exists in the Universe whether we believe in it or not.
Without going into a dissertation on Quantum Physics, I believe all things are made of energy and through our intentions, thoughts and most importantly what we picture with our minds, we have the power to change things for ourselves.
But my question lies in the process. Is the manifestation of things subject to a bigger plan of grand design?
It seems to me that in my own process, the Universe will provide what I am asking for, but it seems that it comes on it's time, not mine and often not in the way I think it will.
For example, my husband and I had a small condominium and we wanted to sell it and purchase a house. We found two homes in the area we were living in at the time that we felt were perfect and set to manifesting our new home.
Soon after, we were both laid off from our jobs and found ourselves moving to a new city, our condo still unsold. We rented a house that we thought about purchasing, but with the condo still unsold were unable to do so and ultimately chose to move to a smaller rental. Soon after leaving the first rental, the 2nd floor toilet in that house broke destroying the new tenants things and the first floor.
The real estate market also sharply declined during this time, forcing us to severely drop the asking price on the condo. When it finally sold, it was for much less than we had hoped leaving us with little to put down on a new home. A few short weeks later, purely coincidentally, we found our now home (not even close to the areas we had been looking in) , bought it for less than market value with a very low down program in a market that where lenders were not really lending. We knew it was a miracle and that the manifestation process had worked...just not the way we had anticipated.
So I pose this-don't catch yourself up on the how, just trust that if you believe you are taken care of, you will be-just perhaps not in the way you expect it so. Trust the Universe to provide that which you are wanting, don't give up until you have seen it through and don't wear yourself out trying to micro-manage the process. Just know it is happening, just as it should.

We all have those times when we feel that we are drifting about in life and moving in a direction that seemingly has no meaning or purpose. We forget that our meaning and purpose are right in our grasp and that we can shift this at any moment by listening with intention.
Spirit will always allow us to ask what we are needing to know, but we must be open to hearing the answers. Whether we like the answers or not is another matter entirely. But we can open our hearts, ears and minds to Spirit to gain the guidance we seek.
Sit quietly and ask for what it is you are needing. Something-a thought, a vision, feeling etc- will come immediately. If we need clarification, just ask. Sometimes our answers make no sense, at least not at first, but ours is not to question the answers. We need to be open to the suggestions that Spirit offers us and be willing to explore possibilities and options.
What typically holds us back is ourselves. We get in our own way by not listening with the intention of an open mind and heart. We get in our own way by letting our ego rule instead of letting go.
The next time you need guidance, seek within your own Spirit to see what the answers might be and be thankful for the wisdom of the Universe.

I had a discussion the other day with a wonderful friend who brought up the question- are people born with confidence and good leadership abilities? Yes-of course there are people out there that are natural born leaders, but I am coming to the realization that we can not only manifest things in our lives, but character traits as well. We can learn confidence and positivity.
What kind of character do you think you will have if you are constantly surrounded by negativity and nay-sayers? What if you were surrounded by people with a positive outlook, who are motivated and constantly striving to be their best?
I have seen the powerful results of people shifting the vibration around them, moving out of relationships (including friendships) that are negative, and surrounding themselves with the abundance of positive energy in life and truly change into confident, powerful leaders.
If you want to make a change, look at your surroundings and ask yourself what is working in your life and if you are surrounded with positive energy . If the answer is no, know that change is possible and that you can become positive and confident with practice.

I went to CA recently to visit a friend and went to Santa Monica beach where I was incredibly honored to find the amazing installation called Arlington West. Each week volunteers from Veterans for Peace put up this memorial on the beach and talk to passers by about their organization and the ways in which they are helping to promote peace. It is truly an amazing site that brings wisdom and (hopefully) some peace to those suffering loss and to those who long for more peaceful times. Check out their website at http://www.arlingtonwestsantamonica.org/
I was deeply moved by the site and the people there, all of whom had something personal to share. I am in awe of those men and women who fought and gave their lives. I am also in awe of those who carry on their spirit and are active in looking to make the world a better place. Today I will take a moment to honor all of these amazing people and ask spirit to help support them in their quest for peace. I encourage you to do the same.

Do you recall a moment from childhood of sheer wonder? A time when you were so focused on something; a gift, a new pet, a ride, that you were only present in that moment and nothing else in the world mattered or even exisited except that moment of absorption in pure joy?
As we get older and add on the responsibilities of adulthood, we often forget to enjoy a moment of wonder, of pure unadulterated joy. Even if we can't recall a moment from childhood like this for whatever reason, we can and need to bring these moments into our adult experience.
It is a function of asking for all of our bodies-spiritual, mental, physical and emotional-to be present all at once in the moment. We set an intention to let everything else, just for now, wash away. We see with our inner child's eyes whatever it is that we have focused our attention on-a loved one, a pet, nature-and spend some time purely in the moment and we can experience pure joy. What an uplifitng practice, even if just for a moment.
Call on your inner child to help guide you to a moment of joy...let the child out to play and experience it fully and completely.

I went to a yoga class the other day and the instructor talked to us about the Full Moon energy and how it is a time to put into action the intentions that we have set during the New Moon time. She said that New Moon is a time to be introspective and be grateful for what we have working in our lives. So often we are not grateful for what is working and focus all of our energy on that which is NOT working. We see this as evident in relationships, our daily practice, work situations, in our society and our government.
During the New Moon, I would challenge you to go inward and find gratitude for something that is working in your life and then set an intention to better something in your life. When the Full Moon energy comes in, put the intention in motion and be open to receiving the change. We can even set these intentions at any moment and watch them blossom. This is very powerful practice.
I am so thankful I went to that yoga class!

I opened my copy of Dicken's Tale of Two Cities and the word "thankful" was written in the front cover. No name or date or other notes, just this word. That's interesting, I thought. Later, I grabbed my copy of a local yoga magazine and opened directly to an article on gratitude. Coincidence? I think not. I am reminded daily that being grateful for all that we have, even in the most challenging times of our lives, is a very powerful and useful tool. It lifts us up, helps get us out of bed and then in a shining moment, creates sheer and pure joy. Each day in prayer, I think of things for which I am grateful for. Most often it is family and friends, but sometimes it is as simple as for the air I am breathing. I cannot convey how much this daily practice has changed my life. I challenge each of you to think each day of just one small thing that you are grateful for and incorporate this into your daily practice. There are so many things we can be grateful for even in seemingly desparate situations. It is a way to turn many things around and bring some joy and peace to your life. Namaste.

Greetings!
As you head in to this holiday season I wish you and yours well. It is my hope that you take time to be grateful for what you do have, enough in the darkest moments. It is my wish for you to have a safe, happy holiday and a prosperous New Year!
Here are some tips for helping you cope with the stress that the holidays can bring:
1) Take time out for yourself every day. Go for a walk, meditate,or call a friend far away.
2) Believe in the magic and wonder of the season. When you think it doesn't exist, look through the eyes of a child.
3) Indulge and have some fun. If you over indulge, don't feel guilty or beat yourself up. Instead treat yourself to a day of lots of fruits, veggies and herbal tea.
4) Spend time with your loved ones. Try asking a parent or grandparent about their childhood memories and listen to them.
5) Make new memories, or try starting a new tradition. Breaking the monotony can be really fun!
Whether you are shopping, planning or in the throws of a big celebration, quiet your mind a moment and listen to what Spirit is saying to you. No doubt the message will come with Love, Peace, and Joy.
Cheers!

Just as the plants and animals move into a meditative, quiet space for fall, so do we. Spend the last lingering days of light and nice weather outside. While you are walking or raking leaves, take time to be aware of the growing stillness around you and be grateful for the time of rest that is upon us.
As the evenings grow cooler and we enjoy the bounty of the last harvest, feed your body warming foods made from the harvest and be grateful for all that nature has provided over the past months.
At night, as you listen to the quiet space around you, ask spirit for any messages then listen for the answers. Ask for protection, and sleep well knowing that the warmth of spirit surrounds you.

When was the last time you did something nice for just yourself? We tend to push the kind things to do for ourselves off in place of the things we "should" do. Ask yourself if that action that you did in place of something nice for yourself made you feel as good. Chances are that cleaning the bathroom or washing the car was not as fulfilling as a manicure or a long walk. Don't forget that you deserve something nice for yourself everyday, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Treat yourself well today and every day.

Have you thought about the task of meditation and found it next to impossible to sit for hours on end quietly awaiting the meaning of life? Meditation can come in many forms, walking, jogging, sitting quitely-it can be anything as long as you are in the moment. That is key. Next time you take a walk, listen to the birds, look at the plants around and spend some time in gratitude for these things and you will find meditation an easy way to connect with Spirit. Who knows, maybe the meaning of life will even present itself. Namaste.
