The Power of Prayer
Prayer is a communication between the universe and yourself that recognizes the divinity in both. It is focused energy directed to God/Source/Great Spirit, and when developed in a healthy way, is an essential part of the foundation for the journey on the spiritual path. All forms of prayer-formal, informal, casual, elegant, spoken, silent-are acceptable, and all are heard. There is no right way to pray. If the intention comes from the heart and you understand the laws of energy and the laws of attraction, the results from prayer can be truly miraculous.

The End of Prophecy 2012~ Part #1
We are hovering at the apex of the grandest time in human existence. For years, we have all experienced references to the year 2012 and prophecies about the cataclysmic changes that would ensue. The most famous reference has been to the Mayan calendar and the date December 21, 2012, when supposedly the world would end as the Mayan calendar concluded its 5126-year cycle. Many religions in many different civilizations have referenced the “end times.”

Becoming Yourself
Life is a journey of becoming. The goal of the journey is not in its destination; rather, it is the understanding that emerges from the journey. It is through the journey that wisdom is gained. Those who are interested in experiencing wisdom must change; they must seek healing. They must look at what they believe and examine why they believe it.

Belief Systems, Attitude, and Change
I, like many, spent several years in therapy. I had varying degrees of success, but I still viewed my childhood as something that wounded me terribly. I spent much of my adult life healing. I was in a workshop, one day, and we were asked to come up with a happy memory from our childhood and to ...

Eliminating Fear, Part 2
Fear is ego-based. And the ego constantly tells a story. Many of the elements of this story use tiny bits of information—some from the past and many from a distorted sense of the future—and the ego and fear convinces us that this story is true. The story may relate a case for scarcity or issue judgments or narrow our sense of possibilities. Fear is so imposing that we are convinced that the egoic endless chatter must be true and we act accordingly. Fear than becomes self-perpetuating.

Manifesting Your Intentions
As I contemplate the end of this year I have decided to look over the intentions that I put in motion for 2010. I am amazed what I have manifested and where my challenges have been. I notice that the challenges I have endured are a great part of the manifestation that is trying to come about. With this epiphany I am guided to remind you of a few things that I noticed: • Spirit is always working for you, not against you. • When you put something into motion with a prayer, intention, desire, or dream, there is an energy that goes into action in order to make this manifest for you.

Are We Merely Players, Part 2
I am continuing a thread of information that was given to me from the spirits about living in our True Self and not in the illusion of our projected self. The scenario the spirits originally presented to me was in a journey where I saw many non-physical, intergalactic beings present as the audience in a large theater. The theater was massive and these non-human beings arrayed among balconies and tiers and on the floor of the theater. They gathered to observe human performers acting their parts in the drama of life.

Letting Go of Resistance
Have you heard the phrase, "we are one"? It is a concept, ideal, slogan, and mindset that many give lip service to --- self included, although I have only begun to scratch the surface of its meaning. I have been sitting with this ideal for years, watching how it affects me and when I am in alignment with it and when I am not. I could write a book on this topic alone. However, where I am taking this today is regarding the vibration of resistance versus the vibration of unity consciousness.
