A Letter to My Ex

I recently had a conversation in my mind with a former boyfriend of long ago. Fifteen years had passed since I last saw him and in my pretend conversatio I was realizing how different I was from the person I was in those days when we were together. My first reaction was to jokingly make light of the patterns we chose to maintain for three years. This was something I always did, fought off something serious with humor. Why face up to something when you can laugh? Don’t get me wrong, laughter is the best medicine, but only when it is not used to suppress hurtful or painful emotions.

Soul Contracts

Typically when one buys a car, they may sign a four year agreement with the loaning agency to make monthly payments to them until the car is paid off. Once it is paid in full, the agreement is complete. The car owner owns his car outright and the relationship with the loan agency is severed. ...Typically when one buys a car, they may sign a four year agreement with the loaning agency to make monthly payments to them until the car is paid off.

It's All About LOVE

I was preparing a fruit platter for the reiki class I was about to teach when I realized that every piece of fruit I had purchased was green: green apples, green grapes, green kiwi. In my former life, I was a professional party planner, so making this sort of faux pas was funny to me. I knew there was a hidden meaning behind the so called “mistake.” Green is the color of the heart chakra. I thought perhaps the theme of the class might just be about love. As the day progressed, I learned my hypothesis was correct.

Bell Rock

As Westerners we are taught that nature is seperate from us—that we have ownership of the land and all its inhabitants. The truth is that we are a part of nature. Unfortunately, most of us are trying everything we can do to live apart from nature. We think that if we cut down one tree, we can simply plant another, but that one tree is connected to the community. Its roots interlink with its brethren of trees unde eath the soil, while above ground, it hosts a plethora of life forms. It's not simply these creatures that live in the trees that are affected.

Judgment Day

As an unpublished writer, I have to take work whenever I can get it to help supplement my income. So, it was an easy decision when I was asked to participate in a five-day trade show. There was only one issue. I would be working and living along side some mean-spirited people—and that didn’t suit my Spiritual Self one bit.

The Healing Power of Organic Foods

When I was six years old my mother announced that our family would sample the culinary delights from a different country at least once every month. Mom prepared food at home and we dined out at restaurants, as well. That may not seem extraordinary coming from today's standards, but this occurred during the early seventies, when many Americans didn't explore anything beyond white bread, meat and potatoes. For me, I not only discovered which fork to use with each course, I learned how to use chopsticks by the time I was seven. You won't catch me using silverware at an Asian restaurant!

EXPLORING YOUR INTUITIVE NATURE

According to the dictionary the word intuition is the apparent ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason. It comes from the Latin word 'intueri', which is often roughly translated as meaning ‘to look inside’ or ‘to contemplate’

A DREAM WORLD

I stood on the precipice overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The sky was grey and in only a moment’s time the grayish-white waves that were reflecting the color of the ominous sky, began to swell far above the land. One wave in particular was higher than the rest. It reminded of me of an arm reaching above one’s body. That’s what this wave was doing; reaching above the rest of its body.

The Bell Goes Off

My finances have been in the tank for the last two and a half years. Even through my financial woes, I have been able to manifest a place to stay and have had enough food in my belly, which has enabled me to go through the process of my spiritual awakening. It hasn’t always been easy, but the joys I have experienced from having clarity from a much higher perspective have been worth it…that is until a few days ago.

Migraines & Heart Openings

I always write about what is relevant in my life and this last month has been an interesting one for me. You see, in my lifetime I have had maybe ten headaches. However, when I get them, they are migraines. The first time I had one, I was in college trying to get ready for final exams. Between four tests and four papers that were due, I had a lot going on and my migraine stayed with me for the entire last month of school. I had to cover an eye just so that I could focus on what the professor was lecturing about during class. Needless to say, it wasn’t fun.

When One Door Closes...

After a function last evening, I sat in my friend’s car venting my anger. I was in the midst of playing the blame game towards the facilitator of the event we had just attended. After about a minute or so, it occurred to me to take a different stance.

Yin and the Power of Black

Recently, I was in a yoga class where the instructor sauntered in to the room commenting on some of the other students’ mats. They were black and he didn’t like that one bit. He continued by saying that he had taken color therapy and black, grey and brown are negative colors that absolutely should never be worn or even used in any way as they will attract negative things to the person.

Connecting with Mother Earth

My friend had been telling me about this particular spot she wanted me to see since the first day I met her. She claimed it was sacred land, but the Universe was only allowing me to see a terrain filled with mechanized crushed up store bought rocks. Viewing that in my mind’s eye didn’t seem so special, nor did it feel very sacred. Needless to say, I wasn’t very enthusiastic about going. However, after two months of knowing about this place, I was finally talked into joining my friends on their trek to this unfamiliar place.
