I just found this very excellent online quiz on Betrayal Bonds. In my practice I see alot of this, and on every level, not just intimate significant other relationships, but in the workplace, extended family and friends, even religious organization or groups. It is much more pervasive than we think, and can be very subtle and not as dramatically…

The more I realized this, even just by experiment, the more of my personal power came back to me. It is quite a curious exercise to play the game in the hall of mirrors. When I am surrounded by some anger, or some pain or some taunt... I always play the game... and ask myself... so where is this in me? Where is this beloved messenger trying to direct my attention. What is deeply buried or…

“Courage is the heart’s blossom” – Mark Nepo

 

Energetically located in the First or Root chakra, the Victim archetype resides in all of us and is driven by a fear of not being able to survive in the world. At the root of this fear is a belief that we do not deserve to thrive; the resulting self deprecation keeps us in a state of…

About ten o'clock that morning there came on a heavy electric storm and it looked as if there would be a downpour, but no rain fell. The country through which we were passing was quite heavily wooded and the ground was covered with a heavy, thick, dry grass. The country seemed exceptionally dry. The lightning ignited the grass in a number of places and before we knew it, we…

I saw a post on Facebook about all the many uses for Cannabis. It was quite interesting more than anything to see the comments, of which there were many. People were polarized. I realized that I had a unique viewpoint. I saw that they were all missing the point. Distracted by right and wrong, the real message of addiction wasn't being heard by any of them. As I see it, the…

I am conscious of living with the divine. I need go nowhere special to access spiritual light and wisdom, to experience eternity. Each moment of my day is alive with spiritual energy because the particles carrying that energy are present in all that lives. Whether or not I am aware of it, this truth still exists. If I wish…

Do you swear to be You, the Whole You and Nothing But You, so help you God?

Let love live through you! ~ She Who Weaves the Web

 

And now a message from a very wise friend...

 

Dear Friends,

The mind is not the source of enlightenment. You do not become expanded through knowledge and reason. No matter how much…

Every man dies.  Not every man really lives.  ~Braveheart



We've come so far, we've endured so much. It's time. It's our time. It's time to start living... really living, really loving, really listening and really connecting. All of us on this human journey have paid a high price for the experiences that humanity as a whole…

Fact 1: As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.



Lesson 1: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.







Fact 2: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the… Continue

This morning in my meditation/reflection I had a wonderful "congealing" of thought. It wasn't something that I haven't been aware of, but today it became a little more focused in my mind. Today it looked like something a little less liquid, and just a touch more formed, something I can now bounce and jiggle around in my brain and even touch with my hands. Oh, it's delicious isn't it?, when some slippery thought takes shape, not unlike jello (with whipped cream, of course).



What I'm… Continue

Today on my radio show I drew a card for us all. I used The Mastery of Love deck. I love using Don Miguel Ruiz's affirmational cards. They are so powerful. Anyway, today's reading was this:



"You are only responsible for your half of a relationship. There are two halves in every relationship, but you are only responsible for your half of the relationship; it is not up to you to control the other half. Respect the other half, and there is always going to be peace in the… Continue

I have been actively celebrating, studying and seeking the Divine Feminine principle for several years and it has been one of the most empowering and inspiring things I have done. I feel that this path has led me to a deeper understanding of who I am as a woman, but more than that, it has opened my eyes to see how vital the opposing forces of masculine and feminine energies are in our life. They ARE the driving force of creation.



When we take the personal energies and romantic… Continue

So how do you cope with life, with pain and disappointment?

How do you distract yourself from your unrest?

What’s your drug of choice?

Alcohol, Cocaine, Crack, Heroine, Uppers, Downers or both?

Or are you one of us sophisticated addicts who wouldn’t dream of taking drugs?

Do you medicate your life with something a little more socially acceptable?

Sex, Affairs, Love, Relationships, Romance, Religion, Spirituality, Emotions,Intellect, Family, Marriage, Care-taking,… Continue
