When thoughts disturb you and cause you to become off balance, distance yourself from them. Does this mean you do not allow yourself to feel? Not at all. It means that you are well served by moving awareness to a state in which you can observe the thoughts that are [...]

The sun always rises. There are certain things in life you can always count on. Yes, there are times when the clouds block the sun, but you know that it is there. The constants in life are what you cling to in a world in which change is a given. [...]

Genius. Is this not what you call those who appear to possess a level of intelligence that surpasses most? Everyone is a genius in some aspect of their life, for all are connected to the source of all intelligence, the font of all creativity. What is your genius? For what [...]

Why do you reach for stimulation when it is near? We speak of drinks, foods, and other such things that give you a lift or perhaps provide a distraction. And therein lies the answer. There is so much going round and round in the mind and the body that at [...]

How can you pinpoint consciousness when it is the awareness of being? And why does this matter? For consciousness is your very essence, yet it is quite easy to think it is located where you do your thinking: in the brain. And what if you were taught as a child [...]

At times you are awakened abruptly, and you feel quite groggy, for you were deep in a vivid dream. At other times, when given the chance to wake up naturally, you are clear-headed and quite aware of your surroundings upon awakening. It is much like this for the human [...]

You speak of set-points, and you can be referring to one’s weight, or intelligence, or even their level of happiness. Yes, these may appear rather fixed over a lifetime, but nothing in life is unchanging save the very core of you. Do not believe that anything is set in stone, [...]

When you cannot sleep, do you toss and turn and grumble? This is the human way. But you are not only human. What if there is a reason you cannot sleep? Could there be a message waiting for you in the silence? An unseen visitor who wishes to say hello? [...]

Do you wish to feel good or do you wish to feel peaceful? There is a difference. When you seek to feel good, you often discover it, but then the pendulum swings the other way. Back and forth you go between pain and pleasure. This is life within the human [...]

You are connected to all those with whom you have interacted throughout your life. Ultimately, you are connected to all that is, so entanglement is a given, but the more interactions you have with another, the easier it is to activate your connection in awareness. And if that one [...]

Compassion. Is it lacking? Then the focus has turned to the self or one particular group. Do you know the brain is programmed for self or group protection? There are stages of development in humans just as there are in children. Perhaps you are going through the “mine, mine, mine” [...]

There are layers to you. Yes, like an onion, you can peel them back, but do not set them aside. These layers make up the wholeness of who and what you are. The beauty in seeing the layers is appreciating how each makes you unique, yet at the very center [...]

It is easy to see yourself as unchanging when the physical body does not appear to change much at all from moment to moment. Of course, you see the changes over weeks and years, but you are a dynamic flow of the life force in each moment. Thoughts come and [...]

When you have distractions pulling you in many directions, slow down. You are created to operate at nature’s speed, which is not the speed of light or the speed of the latest electronic processor. Take the time to watch how nature flows. There is an orderliness to it. The squirrels [...]

If you wish to connect with loved ones who have passed, do remember to make the shift. And what shift is that? Why, the most critical shift in point of view there is whilst you walk about in a body—the one that reminds you that this body is only a [...]

Where is your loved one who has passed? Why, they are enjoying their new state of being, which is not new at all in the sense of rediscovering they are eternal beings just as you are. But now they have the added benefit of having had the most recent experience [...]

You all have different ways of seeing the world. Once you put on a pair of colored lenses, they do indeed color your perceptions. Be aware of this bias, for the soul has none. Do your loved ones across the veil maintain the lenses they wore whilst in human form? [...]

Emotions are friends, not enemies. They serve as signposts … indicators that perhaps a choice stands before you. How long you remain with this emotion is up to you. Make a choice. How intensely you feel this emotion is up to you. Choose wisely, for always there is an equal [...]

You do not ever grow old. If you do not agree with this truth, then you have chosen the perspective of the limited human story that you, the soul, are living. “Chosen?” you ask, and we are glad you noticed this word. Yes, you have a choice to see [...]

“Give everyone their due, for they are Love, as are you.” You wish to have a mantra that will change the way you see the world? Repeat this phrase until you no longer resist the idea when you gaze upon another who differs from you in appearance, thoughts, and actions. [...]

Yes, you can infuse each task you undertake with love. Why would you do so? To remove what you consider drudgery and turn it into service. Have you not experienced the lift that accompanies taking your attention away from yourself and your many challenges and focusing upon others? If you [...]

And so, mistakes happen. A word is spelled wrong. Others read it. Oh my, is it the end of the world? Let us tell you that the world could end and you still will not have achieved perfection, dear one. There is only one state of perfection. You can glimpse [...]

Think of one you love who has passed. There. In that moment of thinking of them, you activated your eternal connection. That bond is always present, but just like the power does not run through an electrical cord until you turn on the switch, your loved one may not be [...]

Be a peeper. Step back away from the story that you as spirit in a body are experiencing and peep at it as if through a window. How does this change in perspective change things for you? You are not stuck in the story, you know. Or perhaps you [...]

Flow with what life presents you. Yes, there may be large rocks that you encounter in the stream, but when you are in flow, you divert effortlessly. When there is no resistance, you do not get stuck. You recognize why you needed to go in a slightly different direction, but [...]

Be aware when you and others become defensive. What are you defending? A story. Beliefs. And why are each of your stories so different that they need defending? For you have differing viewpoints. Yes, you might put yourself in their shoes. And there is another choice: you might view all [...]
