There are times when I listen to friends or clients and the entire story they are relating is about someone else. It’s a narrative of “them” and “they” and what they did and what they should or shouldn’t feel or think or be or react… I listen to this, at least for a while, waiting…
We’re taught to think about our lives as having segments, like the scales of a snake or a scorpion or a lobster. Each piece is connected but discrete with clear boundaries and sharp edges. They touch, they intersect, they interact, but they also keep to their own. Work life, home life, personal life, hobbies, friends,…
We’re taught that our brains are our biggest assets. They are what make human beings the top, or almost top, of the food chain and why we can manage, or mismanage, the earth. We are thinking beings thinking all the time about everything whether it be passively through watching TV and movies, playing video games,…
It’s difficult for us to see our selves. Our heads don’t swivel around so we can see quite a bit of our backsides and our eyes aren’t on stalks so we can aim them at our own faces. That could either be cool or creepy, I’m not sure which. To see ourselves we have invented…
Ever get so focused on something you do all the time that you forget to smell the roses? Yeah, happens to me too. I focus so much on working with client’s soul books and teaching students how to read their soul books and how to navigate the Akashic landscape and work with mentors that I…

Most people who say they are ready are exactly the ones who aren’t. Not that they aren’t capable, that the timing is wrong or the elements aren’t there, but…
There are times when I’m caught off guard by people. They seem rational, upbeat, only the usual amount of unhappy, doing things with their lives that are interesting and being generally good people out in the world and then they start talking about some relationship they are having or trying to have. I don’t notice…
It’s not uncommon for clients to tell me that their lives are just fine, everything is going well and they have good lives…well except for: infidelity, abuse, loneliness, overwork, working at something they hate, a life built on lies, codependance, addiction, weight issues, illness, self-destructive behaviors, self-loathing, low self-esteem, depression, hopelessness, and possibly a deep…
One of the hardest things in life, one of them, is to find out that what you thought was you and was all of that aspect of you is only the tip of the iceberg. To find out that you don’t know what you don’t know about yourself when you thought you did is mindboggling…
