It's no big secret that sleep is one of the keys to success and happiness in life. The average adult need 6-8 hours of solid, uninterrupted sleep, while the average teenager needs 10-12 hours (their brains are undergoing tremendous growth and development). When we are well rested, and get enough sleep, we have reserves of energy, enabling us to...[ read more ]
To my knowledge, everyone on Earth has a shadow aspect. It's a part of the human experience. The shadow aspect is represented by the negative polarity, the yin. It's the part of us who harbors guilt for perceived mistakes and errant ways. It's the part we hide (hence it's the part in the shadow). It's the part kept in...[ read more ]
I had never felt a shift like this in the vibration of my body before. The first time I tried acupuncture, was about ten years ago. I was on vacation with my family and someone suggested we go in for a treatment. Curious about it, I decided to be treated. I am happy I did! The practitioner sensed that...[ read more ]
In modern society, it is easy to forget about or become disconnected from the natural rhythms of life. Shiny distractions abound and unless we take conscious time and space to disconnect from technology and build an inner connection; we can feel lost, alone, and even depressed. Most people notice the seasons change, in order to dress accordingly, but many of us aren't...[ read more ]

An empath is someone who is sensitive. We have a developed heart center and tend to be nurturing, kind-hearted, and empathetic. We can feel what others are feeling, which can...[ read more ]

I read for pleasure (fiction) on occasion, however, I really enjoy reading non-fiction books about ways to improve. I've read myriad books on different therapeutic approaches, parenting styles, best ways to discipline children, ways to incorporate mindfulness, how to...[ read more ]
The time is now to embrace the seed. The seed is the gift of the answer to the age old question: "Who am I?" If we believe that as humans, we are created in the image and likeness of the One, the Whole, the Source (whatever that means to each of use, personally)then as such, we have been gifted the...[ read more ]
I've been thinking a lot about thinking this week. A lot of people who come to me for assistance have an overactive mental aspect; meaning they cannot shut off their mind. They go to bed thinking thoughts, they wake up each morning, thinking thoughts, and most have difficulty with meditation due to intrusive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are any thoughts...[ read more ]
I felt inspired to start A Course in Miracles again on the Winter Solstice. It's been 11 years since I did the course the first time around, and I wondered how much has changed (in my ability to understand the concepts). To my delight, it's been an easier go around the second time, as many of the concepts I've actualized,...[ read more ]
If we observe enough, we can see that children and animals seem to know something is brewing before most adults do. This was certainly the case in our home this week. Prior to all of the collective chaos happening on a more national scale, my kids were already starting to feel it brewing earlier in the week. This led...[ read more ]
