Adele Ryan McDowell, Ph.D. is a psychologist, teacher, and channel, who came to her current place in life through the frequent and not-so-subtle prodding of the gods.
Adele's focus is opening the heart. She is all about moving out of the stuckness of life into the great flow where there is joy, laughter, and connection. She believes all things are possible.
Her work is psychospiritual; the psychology does not get forgotten, but it is expanded to include the permutations of the psyche, the mystery of the sacred, paths of energy, and a broader, soul perspective.
Adele is the author of Balancing Act: Reflections, Meditations, and Coping Strategies for Today's Fast-Paced Whirl and is a contributing author of 2012: Creating Your Own Shift.

Help, it's Dark in Here
Do you ever have one of those days, weeks, or, even, years when it feels nothing is going your way? There is no break from the gods. In a word, you would say that your life stinks, and it stinks out loud. I have recently had a number of conversations with folks who are finding themselves, metaphorically speaking, in the dark. And it’s no fun. In fact, it’s quite painful.

***PORTALS OF INITIATION FOR TODAY’S BRAVE LIGHTWORKERS AND HEALERS
We would all agree that the world is fast, frenzied, and chock-a-block with sensory stimuli, challenges, and change. Where is terra firma, we might ask as we bend on our knees, take deep breaths, and straddle that big balancing board called life. We attempt to stay upright, but life does life. We can find ourselves crumbled on the floor looking up and wondering what just happened; or down a deep, dark rabbit hole unable to see anything clearly; or paralyzed with emotion and unable to make a move. What has happened? Say hello to your wake-up call.

***Ernest Hemingway, Oprah, and my new spiritual discipline
“For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.” That’s how it started. Those six words, we are told, are the shortest of Hemingway’s short stories. And those provocative words inspired Smith Magazine writer and editor, Larry Smith to challenge his Smith Magazine web readers to describe their lives in a mere six words. This was November, 2006, and the rest, as they say, is history.

***Packing your cosmic backpack for the Big Shift
The world is changing at break-neck speed as we inch ourselves closer and closer to the planetary shifts of consciousness and being. And, as with any new birth, there will be some pain, contractions, doubt, fear and maybe, even, a bit of panic as we work to bring forth a bouncing new world that operates from a place of co-operation versus competition, understands the interconnectedness of all and honors the earth and all sentient beings.

What Happened to My Epiphany?
What happened to my epiphany? I just had it. I know it was here. It had lit up my mind and thumped my heart with excitement. It has been with me a mere few days, and, now, it is gone. It has vamoosed and high-tailed it out of my life. I am heart sick. I want my epiphany back. It felt so right. It fit so perfectly. I felt aligned, in tune and inspired. It was a wonderful thing while it lasted

Everyday peace
I’m of the Viet Nam and Kent State generation and can remember the feel of singing “All we are saying is give peace a chance.” The swaying bodies, the deep resonance, the fervent belief that if peace were found – because, oh so, certainly, it had been lost – then the world would be right. I was ...I’m of the Viet Nam and Kent State generation and can remember the feel of singing “All we are saying is give peace a chance.” The swaying bodies, the deep resonance, the fervent belief that if peace were found – because, oh so, certainly, it had been lost – then the world would be right.

Have I Missed the Boat to Enlightenment?
I was at a workshop recently where a spiritual teacher made a statement that has been rattling around my cranium for a number of days. Now, mind you, this is not the first time I have heard this statement, but, perhaps, I had reached the tipping point vis-à-vis this information and could no longer just puff up indignantly. I needed to give this some serious thought.

***This year, I choose surrender
My dear pal, Debbie, passed along this birthday ritual. On your birthday, you choose one word to be your focus for the coming year. Once, I chose the word “sparkle” – just the thought of it made me happy. This year, my word arrived unbidden with cat-like stealth and sure-footed certainty. It pounced into my psyche and claimed its space. Immediately, I knew this was my word for my 60th year. This year, I have chosen “surrender.”

St. Germain and doing the "Up Spiral"
This piece was written with through the generosity of St. Germain. All of us would all agree that life is going faster and faster by the minute. We can’t stay on top of everything, much less get everything done. And there is change everywhere. Much of what we have been taught as real is being shown to be anything but real. And we have learned that when we disengage energetically – in other words, unplug from our connection with Spirit - we feel as if we are in free fall. And when in free fall, we get overwhelmed. We doubt. We wonder if we are doing the right thing.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Adele McDowell
My thoughts today:
- I have come to believe that all things are possible, and miracles do happen.
- We are all fractals of the divine; we are all masters in training.
- We are all connected; we are tethered to an energetic grid.
- There are no accidents; everything happens for a reason.
- Unconditional acceptance leads to unconditional love and that creates space for healing.
- We have to feel to heal.
- Laughter is good medicine; a good night’s sleep and a decent meal can work wonders; and, every once in a while, a good snit clears the air.
- I have learned the hard way that every time I am angry, I am going to learn something new – usually about my limited vision.
- My soul requires regular doses of silence and beauty.
