You are feeling a bit blue? We have a special prayer for you. May our words ring true as they carry you through: “Oh, my beloved, you seem so far away. I miss you more than words can say, but something inside me knows you are here, this is what [...]

When you cannot find forgiveness for another’s words or actions, there is a grand lesson awaiting you. Hurtful feelings are opportunities to help you find your way back Home without having to die. Peace and tranquility are always here for the taking, but they remain beyond arms length … literally, [...]

Your world is ever changing. If you hold on tightly to the past, you will suffer, for the soul incarnated as you for growth. Growth, as you see in plants and trees, moves upward. It does not stay still or reverse direction to past moments of being. Be content with [...]

When will you come to trust that you are being guided moment by moment? When will you stop planning, worrying, scurrying, and trying oh so hard to accomplish all you think you must do to achieve a goal? Only when you stop scurrying and worrying long enough to realize [...]

Jingle bells .. pieces of metal designed to make a cheerful ringing sound when jostled about by a horse or perhaps a domesticated animal who wears them on a collar. Why do you like bells so much? They are associated with joy, motion, happy times. Do you not know a [...]

You do not realize you can move awareness outside of the body? But of course. What do you think happens when you dream? Do you not at times experience your dreams as another being? Yes, you say, but that is my imagination. No, dear one. That is you as awareness. [...]

There are times you feel a bit “off.” Simply do a review of the interactions you have had of late. Go back over the places you have visited. What kind of energy were you bathing in? Yes, bathing. The Sea of Consciousness is ever changing, ever flowing. When you are [...]

Why do you go to restaurants when you can cook your own food? Why do you go to concerts when you can pay a recording of the very same music? Why, it is because there is an energy shift when sharing moments of beauty with others. You are social [...]

On automatic. That is how most humans operate. And what if you operated more consciously? What would you be conscious of? You would hear the thoughts that go round and round in the mind telling you things you learned or heard as a child, many of which no longer [...]

Consciousness is like an elevator, moving up and down the energetic shaft that envelops and defines the body. Most humans spend time in the lower floors, if not the basement, where things can get a bit musty, stored there for so long. And what if you ride the elevator [...]

How your life would change if you remembered you are first and foremost a soul and that the role you are playing is secondary. Why, you would listen for the quiet voice of the soul before you speak or act. You would see beyond the roles of those around you [...]

It is quite easy to fall into the same pattern of doing things. When you only look at the front of something, you may miss the opportunity that awaits if you were to look at the back. How many times do you pick up a mirror to glance, perhaps, at [...]

Patience. Things may not always go as you desire. Evolution is a by-product of trial and error. If everything unfolded with what you perceive as perfection, there would be no struggle. And struggle causes you to go back to the drawing board and find a better way. Gaze upon the [...]

You may judge another, but do so at your own risk. This is not meant to sound ominous or threatening. It is merely a fact of LIFE* that when you point a finger at another, you are restricting the flow of the vibrant life force not only to them but [...]

You will have moments of feeling supremely connected to higher consciousness and moments when you cannot sense anything other than what you know as yourself. Do not despair. Awareness flows like tides or phases of the moon, waxing and waning in cycles. Your sense of connection may not be quite [...]

They say no man is an island, and this is true. As long as you retain awareness solely within the body, you will feel alone and may fail to see how connected you are to all that is. But you can swim away from the island-body using awareness and free [...]

When a loved one has passed, you continue to celebrate their birthdays, albeit with a bit of melancholy. You count the number of years they would have celebrated had they remained in a body. Do keep in mind that the soul does not age. The soul celebrates with you, [...]

“Did I just see that?” Have you not had moments when the physical reality around you changed in such a way that you question what happened? Yes, dear one, there are moments when the veil parts just enough for you to realize that all is not as it seems. Some [...]

Gratitude will get you anywhere. You most often state this phrase about flattery, which appeals to the human ego, but gratitude is far more powerful than flattery. Gratitude appeals to the soul, with the word “appeal” in this case referring to a state of resonance. Bring your human thoughts and [...]

There is much going on behind the scenes that you do not see, hear, or know about. There is much being done to help humanity evolve toward more awareness of the connections you share at the deepest level. You get glimpses from time to time and call these signs [...]

Why do you alter your state of consciousness with chemicals? For you seek pleasure over pain. And does doing so at times cause you greater pain? It does. Feel the discomfort from time to time before numbing it. What if you were to become curious about it and re-label it [...]

You are trapped in patterns that began when your sense of being connected to all that is faded. This is a byproduct of the brain. The true self knows who you are: an expression of the consciousness of the One … being. This word you use so often:  “I” … [...]

Do you not wake up each morning and need a moment or two to remember where you are and even who you are? Why does this happen? For Consciousness is ever flowing, ever becoming. Consciousness is your truest you, not simply a body in a bed. Close your eyes and [...]

Stories are meant to be preserved. In olden days they were passed down by mouth. Today you write them and save them in various formats. Why the desire to preserve tales with beginnings and endings? Yes, they entertain, but it is more than that, is it not? Your life [...]

Onward and upward. What does this mean? Evolution is the name of the game. Why come to this earthly experience if you do not wish to grow? Yes, the body grows, ages, and dies, but the soul expands. This means that it finds new ways of creating beauty. Yes, beauty [...]

What happens to a tree in autumn? It prepares for the winter by preserving the flow of energy to its extremities. In so doing, the life force is cut off from the leaves. They change color, fall to the ground, and are recycled into their primal material. The tree goes [...]

Does a heart cell get angry with a brain cell for not being a heart cell? Does a cell in a lung disdain a liver cell for doing what liver cells do? They do what they are here to do, fulfilling their purpose with no judgment of the other cells, [...]

The human brain is evolving. The oldest part of the brain keeps you safe by looking for danger and judging threats. The challenge for the new human is that these characteristics of the old brain keep you focused on separation and cause you to judge. But you have existed far [...]

There are times you are misunderstood, and it leads to misalignment, angst, and division. Yet, there are times you are misunderstood, and a bit of magic unfolds. Someone misheard you or did not realize the meaning in your words, and something quite fortuitous results. How much control do you have [...]

You are often advised to follow your heart. But what if you cannot trust your heart? This means that thinking has invaded the center of your being. Sink to this center and breathe slowly. Notice any tightness that remains. Notice the frantic thoughts that accompany this tightness. Breathe, breathe, breathe [...]
