There’s Not a ScoreCard

I hear a lot of people talking about karma like it’s a scorecard in some weird game where the columns all need to balance somehow.  “She did *such-n-such* which is just horrible.  And she does it all the time.  I just don’t understand how she can get away with it while I have deal with _____ and I try to live right all the time. …Details

Be Open to the Unexpected

Mixed messages abound in our culture.  In particular the messages around achievement.  Regardless of the end goal, the messages we are given talk about hard work, setting clear specific goals, being detail oriented, don’t take no for an answer, never give up, make a plan and stick to it, never take your eye off the ball, etc, etc, etc. …Details

Passenger or Driver

In working with clients I bump up against their perspective that they are a passenger along for the ride.  “I don’t really have any questions, I just want to know what my Soul Book wants me to know.”  I recognize that this is something that we’ve all been taught for hundreds of years: no one can know or understand the workings of God, everything happens for a reason, Thy Will Be Done, etc. …Details

Akashic Records

Akashic Records, Akashic Library, Past Lives, Akashics…people use all of these terms to mean the same thing and this can cause quite a bit of confusion.  Each of these is quite different even though they are related.  And each is amazing and worth exploring so here’s a little bit of explanation to help you find your way.…Details

Explore Your World

Unplug, get up, and get out.  It’s not just about being fit, being connected through disconnecting (ah, technology), or getting back in touch with the world around us, it’s opening our eyes to what is actually around us.  We humans have the privilege and curse to be open to more input than just what is edible and what might want to eat us. …Details

Original Grace

Rita Nakashima Brock, Journeys By Heart Because the very existence of heart is basic to the structure of human life itself and is the basis of our being broken in relationships, we require connections if we are to acknowledge our own broken heart and be healed. …Details

Wanting

Some people fill their lives with want.  Wanting so many things to be different but making no effort to make things different.  Some people use wanting as a way to distract themselves from what they truly need.  They put their efforts into wanting the newest style, gadget, or thing so that they can’t see that they have actual needs and wants in their lives, because seeing that is too painful. …Details
