Every cell in the body is an antenna, picking up signals from all realities. Do you want good conductivity? Nourish your cells with good oxygen and water. Provide them good flow through movement of the body and stretching. The body is an instrument. Nurture it. Notice the difference in receptivity [...]

Logs. You see them piled on a truck and know them as building blocks of sorts or perhaps future pieces of paper. But they are also trees. What else do you know of that takes on different names depending upon how it appears after it has been somewhat limited and [...]

“I love them so much it hurts.” Have you ever felt this? Why would it hurt? This surge of energy in the heart is familiar. At times it feels like pain and at other times pleasure. What if it is simply the strong movement of the self-same energy that connects [...]

Do not be unwilling to change what you have already put into place. It is the belief that what you have created is finished or ready to go that could be keeping something even better from emerging. Do not allow this idea to put pressure on you. We are not [...]

What if change is happening, and you do not want to change? Then do not change and see how that feels. Flowers and weeds grow in the same way. Growth happens as a natural part of Life. Whether you like the change or not, it cannot be stopped. Change is [...]

How can you be both human and a soul at the same time? Both are simply aspects of one state of BEING.  Look at the word “Love” as an analogy. You can write it in block letters or cursive writing. In the former, you see each letter as stand-alone and [...]

Try something new today. Whatever it is:  a food, an exercise, an act … you could do this on your own or ask for higher guidance:  “What would be helpful and interesting to try today?” Make a game of it, but do take it seriously. When you break out of [...]

Choices. Every moment presents them. Are there not moments when you wish someone else would make them for you?  Ah, dear one, what about another aspect of you to help you decide when indecision reigns? You are not only human. You are the middle point in a long lineage of [...]

Always go to the heart. Before you speak, before you write, before you respond. That momentary pause will make such a difference for you and the other on the receiving end of what you say, write, or do. Without that pause to get out of the defensive or offensive posture, [...]

Defenses. They go up automatically when you sense a threat. They can be quite valuable when there is an actual challenge, but what about when you are defending something that does not even exist? What is the ego? It is a pattern of thoughts and behaviors particular to one field [...]

So you want to join your loved ones who have passed? If that were your path, it would have happened by now. You are being breathed. As long as the heart continues beating and the lungs quite naturally fill with air, You, at your deeper levels, are to be here [...]

 Kittens are soft and delightful to the touch. There is something about fur. Yes, it is useful to the animal, but to you it is simply a delight to behold and to touch. There are many things like this in life, are there not? Useful, yet also capable of bringing [...]

Community. It is a word with the same root as communion and communication. “Connection” is not quite the same, as you change a few letters, but this is what the former are all about. It is why you are drawn to community. At the surface you may feel at times [...]

You have time on your hands? Do you rush to fill it? Do you know what it feels like to sit quietly and do nothing? You may cast blame for your busyness on your situation or others, but could this be a way of trying to fill the emptiness? We [...]

You are well familiar with your television series. They tend to end in cliff-hangers that keep you coming back for the next episode, even though you know it is all a story. This is a most excellent way to view your life experience from the soul’s perspective without becoming too [...]

A fresh breeze blows away the stale air. What is not working in your life? Round and round you go with the same old patterns. Is it not time for some fresh air? How to bring it in? Cleaning house begins with opening the windows. Now shake out the carpets. [...]

You can’t see the forest through the trees.  Shift frequently from viewing details to seeing the wholeness. Both are ever-present, yet it is the human way to become fixated on one thing. Flowing mentally allows you to notice what might otherwise be missed. Suddenly, solutions are obvious, insights arise in [...]

Watch your defenses. When they go up in response to another’s actions, you are identifying more with the roles you are playing than the souls who are playing them. Let down the barriers. Release the need to be right and to explain. Allow the other to BE as long as [...]

When the same thing happens to you over and over, there is a reason. When the same kind of people show up in your life, there is a reason. When you see the same numbers repeatedly, there is a reason. The reason may differ person to person, but the underlying [...]

You knew that could happen, did you not? Whatever it was, beforehand you had a flash of knowing—an insight—that lodged itself in awareness, and then it happened. There. That flash, that catch, that snag … this is what you will come to know as a gift. This may take effort [...]

Grief doesn’t last forever. Grief is an emotion. It comes and goes in waves. When focused on thoughts of loss and separation, these may feel like tidal waves. Sadness does not last forever. It comes and goes, rises and falls, again like waves. Sadness is an emotion … an experience. [...]

Mashed potatoes or “pomme puree”? Three distinct foods plopped on a plate, or plated with aplomb? There is an art to food these days, is there not? And so it is with life. You can live each moment paying no attention to the inherent beauty, or you may live with [...]

At times your efforts to please another seem to be in vain. Why do you make them? Do not do so to get something in return. Do so because you are giving a gift of your love and affection. At the level of the soul, you are interacting with love [...]

What issues have you failed to resolve? What wounds are you carrying forwarded moment by moment just waiting to surface so that you can clear them away and restore yourself to a state of harmony? Your mind, body, and spirit know you are innately whole. They naturally seek balance. This [...]

If you were to pause and take a deep breath, oh what a treasure you would find! First, how much tension the body holds. Now let that go. Exhale long and slow. There, at the bottom of the breath is peace. You cannot remain here long, for this ongoing cycle [...]

Praise. You know it works wonders when you give it to others. You have heard it refer to giving gratitude to Source. Do not wait to receive it from others. Give it liberally to yourself, for you are an extension of the greater Self. There are far too many of [...]

This moment right here, right now, is all you ever have. The rest is memory or prediction, past or future, all arising here and now. Why is this important? Because here and now is where you experience peace. Here and now is where you can connect with any other being, [...]

Always do things for the right reasons.  How do you know what that is?  The soul is your very being. It is not apart from you. It speaks to you from a knowing of right and wrong, of the difference between self-serving—which comes from a place of fear and perceived [...]

Remembering to shift your focus is paramount if you wish to find peace. Peace is found in the external world, but only temporarily in response to events that engender the peaceful state. Each of you might differ in what these peaceful moments are. One might like music to enhance the [...]

Look for signs when you do not know which way to go, what choice to make. Do not signs along a highway direct you to take this turn or that, to slow down or be cautious? This is why you call the meaningful messages that are put in your path [...]
