"I'm stuck."

Well, maybe you are. But maybe you are just gathering up energy for your big push forward to the ultimate expression of your beautiful self! If you use the metaphor of a butterfly cocooning, and seemingly "doing nothing" from the outside, we know there is tremendous inner work going on prior to the outward, visible, new and amazing creature. So, what if instead of feeling like you are being trapped in a life full of excuses, blocks and frustration, you feel excited that you’re actually in the process of gathering up the drive and commitment to create a life that you can really love...

Quite a shift!

Each of us is born with tremendous potential, but it becomes buried beneath self-defeating beliefs and behaviors rooted in childhood and/or trauma from past lives, and as we keep perpetuating the doubt and...  Read More

I am one of those people that finds meaning in every single person and thing that comes across my radar each day. I believe that synchronistic events are the universe’s playful way of giving me a message, a sign, or a point in the right direction. 

I place the value of “message for the purposes of learning and growth” on the signs, songs, and conversations I experience. I believe there are no coincidences in life, and I do try to be truly conscious of every single moment of every single day. I believe there is a greater purpose and meaning to all things.

"What do you do for a living?"

Once upon a time, and just once, I replied that I was an ebay psychic. Of course the person who asked thought I was joking. But it was true. At the time, I was working with dozens of clients each week, all who were finding me on ebay, and I was using my psychic and intuitive skills to help them to become more aware of how their spiritual life (or lack of it) might be influencing the choices and challenges they were experiencing in their relationships, careers, and health.

By the way, I have a BS in Engineering from RIT. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, India. He led India's movement for independence from British rule and is one of the most respected spiritual and political leaders of the 20th century. In 1948 he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who opposed his tolerance for all creeds and religions. Gandhi is honored by his people as the father of the Indian nation and is called 'Mahatma', which means Great Soul.

According to Gandhi, "a man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes."

The Seven Blunders of the World is a list that Gandhi gave to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, not too long before his assassination. This list grew from Gandhi's search for the roots of violence. He called this list acts of passive violence. It was his belief that...  Read More

 

The new year, an unspoiled page in your book of time.

Your next chance at the art of living, your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months.

All that you sought and didn’t find is waiting for you to search again but with more determination, with more love for self and compassion for others.

All the good that you tried for and didn’t achieve is present, now, to be granted as you have fewer conflicting desires.

All that you dreamed but didn’t dare to do, all that you hoped but did not will, all the faith that you claimed but did not have—these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened by the touch of a knowing purpose.

Now is your opportunity to renew your faith in the Mother Father God of Your Understanding who has promised in all faiths, in all times and to all peoples, "Behold, I make all things new."

May you be blessed in 2012 with love, peace, tolerance, hope and light.

In my workshop series, "Bathing in Blessings," I teach students how to make wonderful elixirs that combine energies from minerals, herbs, and essential oils that you can use to improve the quality of your life. The first one, Forgiveness, is one of my favorites. The energies of the minerals and plants help you to raise your own vibration and allow this "quality" to manifest as a primary signature in your life. Forgiveness is the basis of all unity in that all is allowed; yet all is healed. In using the vibration of forgiveness, nothing sticks, and therefore all karma is released. As forgiveness is made a part of the aura, all interactions become blessings. So in the spirit of the season, I will share my technique with you!

Traditional gem elixirs are made by placing cleaned...  Read More
