Cultural Empathy

In the second decade of the 21st century we’re a bit beyond the “OMG It’s all going to explode!” stage.  We’ve been there a few times already and the planet is still spinning. And we’ve gotten past they “I wonder what it will look like?”… Details

Looking at it through a different lens

One of the things I’ve noticed in myself as well as my students and clients is that we look for meaning in the events of our lives as if the meaning is fully contained in the discreet event.  For example: why did I get into a relationship with X? … Details

Akashic Mentors

One of the things I’ve learned through my own personal experience is that working with mentors in the Akashics never goes the way you think it will go.  Over time this has come to be amusing, mostly at my own expense, but in the moment it can be quite emotional. … Details

Kabbalah Studies

I’m currently studying Kabbalah as part of a bigger book project and along the way I’ll be putting together a DailyOm.com class which allows students to access the Akashics in order to work with the Tree of Life.  Ah, the wild and wacky things I get into in my spare time.… Details

Why these parents?

When I look at the notes that a client wrote in their soul book about this life, there are detailed notations about their parents, referring to the embodied beings that brought them into this life.  There are additional notations concerning any adoptive parents and all the other adults that might have had significant input into the persons early childhood and upbringing. … Details
