This was written by a friend of mine Sheri McMurray, and when I read it, I immediately asked her if I could share it. It is such an amazing story. (She is a flight attendant. which helps to know just for ease of reading mid-way through.) The day [my cat,] Chloe, died I was trying to clear the energy of our house because there was so much grief and suffering, and I wasn't sure yet what to do for her. So I put on this healing chakras cd and incensed the whole house. Then I ate

If you’ve come this far, and it’s a long way from where you started, spiritually, then you might as well join me for this step, because it’s a powerful one. It erases the hurt that you held in the first place and will offer you a profound healing in your heart of hearts. You will not be the same after this simple exercise. This is it: offer love to the person who wronged you. Imagine it. Literally! Like energy waves flowing from your heart to the person who you hurt or wrong

You might think this step is about forgiving the other person. That’s what ego would like you to believe, but it’s not. It’s about forgiving yourself for having had the judgments you just listed in Step 2. You see, the ego would like you to forgive, and you can, but it’s easy for ego to take over that process and have, even in the most subtle ways, tinges of “he did me wrong, but I forgive,” or “I’m a better person; I can forgive.” Stuff like that. It’s way better and a whole

Now, for the sticky part….recognize that all these judgments, all these grievances, are ones that you’ve held against yourself. Gulp. Yes. Remember, this person may have done real things, acted in real ways, and yet you would not have attracted them into your life had you not, on some level, invited it. The invitation was the self-judgment you’ve been carrying against yourself. We are all our own worst enemies. Let me say that a slightly different way – our ego is our own wor

Start by listing the judgments that you hold against the person you have in mind. And be honest, very honest. The more real you are with yourself, the better this will be. It’s best if you can write it out, on a piece of paper, because then you’ll have the physical evidence of all that your ego has been holding onto. Yes, it’s the ego that holds, not your spirit, because none of what’s being held onto is your ultimate truth; it’s the roadblock to your Truth. So list all the j

When you hold a grievance against anyone, in effect you hold it against yourself. They become your mirror. When you see them, what you’re really seeing is yourself, and the judgment that you think you have against them, is really one that you have against yourself. Whoa, say what? Yes, it’s true. You see, when we hold judgments against ourselves they can be too painful to really see, and there can be many layers of “stuff” held on top of that original judgment, so we no lon

What does it mean to forgive? First, let’s look at what it means to NOT forgive, that is, to hold onto old regrets, judgments, or lower vibrations of emotions when you think of that person – anger, resentment, frustration, sadness, etc. When you are unable to totally love someone, freely and unconditioned, there are places within your heart where you hold a lower vibration, and pretty much everything you can imagine is a lower vibration than love, forgiveness and genuine comp

Is there someone or something in your life that you know you haven’t forgiven? What I mean is this – are you holding onto judging someone in your current or past or holding onto bad feelings about something that happened to you? Let’s talk about forgiveness. No, this isn’t about forgiving and forgetting, but it is about the spiritual mechanisms of forgiveness and the freedom that it brings to YOU. First and foremost, this is about you, not the other person. To keep it simple

Spirit spoke to me this morning in my dreams. It was one of those lovely dreams spaces, where I was conscious enough to know I was dreaming but not enough to lose the magic of what was happening. And then I woke up. Say what? Did that really happen? I dreamed that I had fallen in love with Ben Stiller. Even so….really? Ben Stiller? You’ve got to be kidding? Ok, I mean, he’s cute and all, but come on! I mea Brad Pitt dreams….now those are fun! But yes, I had fallen in love

Spirit speaks through your “Heart” – the highest, deepest part of your Heart where Soul connects – and you will find that your heart has a lot to say. No matter how many times you may have overridden it, ignored it or denied it, it will continue to speak in the same soft, loving, gentle voice it always has, and it will tell you all that you need to know. It will be there to guide you and to shine a light on your path, the path that brings you the greatest joy you will ever ex

We choose to listen to ego over Spirit consciously and in not so conscious ways. The not-so-conscious ways are when you find yourself living from what you think and feel. You feel bad, and so it is; you believe it. You think something negative about yourself, so it is; you believe it. You feel whatever it is that doesn’t produce joy, and you live it as if you have no choice. But the truth is, you DO! This is where Spiritual practices become vital. They lead us away from ego

Spirit Speaks. It's always speaking, and it will get your attention one way or another when you're not hearing it and following the messages of your heart's desires. The messages begin in whispers and, if you're not listening, they will begin to come as signs. You’ll get the signs over and over and over, if that’s what’s needed to get your attention, until you finally let go of whatever it is that Spirit is asking you to release. Maybe it’s a job that no longer serves you, or
