  • What’s Inside – Welcome Message

    Newly Awakened and Questioning Reality?

    You’re in the right place! Experiencing freedom while living on a prison planet has been a long-time goal of mine.

    • How to be in the world but not of it.
    • How to remain centered in the storm.
    • How to discern truth from lies.

    It’s been quite a journey. I share with you my blog which contains insights I’ve gained along The Path to my Heart which I hope will be of benefit to you. It’s also a place for me to share my experiences with healing negative beliefs, ending vicious cycles, facing fear and allowing negative emotions to surface without judgment.

    Without healing and completing these things, you can not be free.

    Please join me if you are interested in finding your own truth and a possibility for lasting healing!

    A Long-Awaited Change is Coming: Your Life may Start Shifting in a Powerful Way!

    I am feeling an exciting, welcomed consciousness change in our midst that is having an apparent effect on people.  I’ve been reading articles and blogs discussing significant changes taking place in people’s lives, starting with making big changes to their environment.  Many people are moving and/or clearing out their possessions they’d held onto for years.  It’s like a “spring cleaning” of sorts – the difference this time is that many of these possessions were previously left untouched by past spring-cleanings.

  • Healing Creativity - removing blocks to creativity

    Rekindling Creativity: Healing Stuck Feelings That Block Inspiration

    I’ve heard people say they’ve received creative inspiration from various kinds of places.  At the time, I couldn’t really speak to that because I believed I had limited personal experience with creativity.  I’ve always believed and said, for better or worse, “I’m not a creative person.”  I couldn’t conceive of what being creative meant so it wasn’t missing for me, except, though, when I discovered a creation that really spoke to me.  I would be in complete admiration and appreciation for the creator’s talent.

  • Facing our Fear of the Dark

    Facing Our Fear of the Dark

    Darkness would have us believe it’s engaged in an all-out war with the light.  Is it true?  Is there actually a war going on between darkness and light?  Darkness (our own fear) would have us believe it will prevail, that it’s stronger than our light.  It uses our love against us and others by shutting us down, enabling us to cause harm to and/or turn us away from the ones we love – divide and conquer is a common weapon.

  • How do I Stop Vicious Cycles

    Start Healing Life-Long Vicious Cycles and Triggers – Put an End to the Blame Game

    Being triggered into a reaction causes you to behave in ways you wouldn’t dream of under normal circumstances, and once the dust settles, you most likely regret your actions and wonder why you couldn’t stop yourself – again.  This occurs probably more often than you like.  So, what can you do about it?

  • Pay attention to your words

    How to Increase Your Life Force and Vitality by Paying Attention to Your Words

    Our words contribute to healthy living and are just as important to us as good nutrition and exercise.  Our words are powerful and carry weight.  If we’re not careful, continually being casual with our word and promises may lead to unconscious feelings of guilt, unworthiness, self-blame and depression.  Sound severe?  Over time, this negatively effects our vitality and life force.  It eats away at us until we believe we’re not worthy and can’t be trusted.

  • How important is it to know your values

    Knowing Your Values Will Provide A Roadmap for Clarity

    I saw Wayne Dyer speak years ago and something he shared really stuck with me.  Jokingly, he mentioned he had to squeeze every ounce of toothpaste from the tube before throwing it away.  It’s not something he thought about, he felt compelled to do it.  He said it really frustrated him when he saw a not-so-empty toothpaste tube in the garbage that one of his kids had thrown away.  He described how he picked it out of the trash with discontent and continued to use it until the tube was completely flat.

  • Inner Child: lessons in control

    The Inner Child – Lessons in Control

    I’m reminded of a time when my inner child was desperate to control me, and everything and everyone in my life in order to feel safe.

    Here’s the story as it unfolded:

  • Self Love an Inner Journey

    The Journey to Self Love

    Wouldn’t it be nice to live without self-judgment?  It’s a bad habit. We automatically judge ourselves without realizing it.  Have we been sold a line that we’re defective?  Why isn’t self-acceptance the norm? How did we get to be so hard on ourselves?

  • Manifestation: How to get what you want

    Asking For What You Want

    Do you ever notice, we always get what we ask for?  More times than not though, things appear out of the blue and we scratch our heads wondering – Why did this happen?  I didn’t ask for this nor do I need this now!  It just proves to me that we don’t always realize or remember we’ve asked.  Perhaps our heart or soul asked for something and we didn’t hear it.  A likely possibility, especially with the important things in our life.

  • How to speak up for yourself

    Speaking up for Yourself – Easier Said Than Done!

    This can be a very stressful decision – Do I speak up or say nothing? I have struggled with finding my voice for many years. I have also been healing that which stops me from speaking up for myself. My tendency would be to “stuff it” down and say nothing out of fear of reprisal. I have recently been in a situation that challenged me yet again to speak up. I share the following in hope that it will help others sort through this dilemma!

  • The Body Temple – Leaving is no Longer an Option

    I just returned from a 21 day trip through Peru and Bolivia. When I was deciding whether or not to book the trip, I kept thinking: I don’t want to go to Peru or Bolivia, but I kept coming back to the idea that it might be worth it since a good friend and spiritual leader was also going. As it turns out –

  • Death of a Parent

    The Breath of Life

    It’s now Autumn and I suppose the trees could be saying – “What’s the point? Why do I have to drop my leaves again?” It’s what they do isn’t it, without a thought. We are a part of nature, so it follows that we all drop our leaves too. I know for myself I’ve had cycles in my life of dropping my leaves, followed by moments of contemplation and hibernation, then moving into growing new leaves again. It’s a continuous cycle on a micro scale: birth – growth – death, on and on throughout life.

  • The Pursuit of Happiness

    The Pursuit of Happiness won’t end in Happiness

    Just the nature of “being in pursuit” implies something is missing, akin to the grass is always greener on the other side.  The one in pursuit believes he or she lacks the very thing they are pursuing.  In the act of pursuit, what you’re after, in this case ‘happiness’, will always elude you.  That’s the nature of pursuit.

    It’s only when you give up the search, in the absence of looking, and in the stillness, can you find what you’re seeking.

  • Authenticity: How to be Authentic

    Authenticity: Being True to Yourself

    I hear the word “authentic” a lot.  It’s one of those words that have an assumed meaning, like one we can almost pull out of our heads to describe.  I wanted to focus on this word specifically and apply it to my own life.  I wanted to know if I was being authentic.  Being genuine and congruent also work here as well.

  • How to be from Negative Circumstances

    Freedom: You Have the Keys!

    Take a minute to ask yourself these questions:

    • What does freedom look like in my life? 
    • How would I know if I was free? 
    • And, why is freedom so important to me? 

    In the past, I’ve associated freedom with the physical, through my body.  Running always felt like freedom to me, however, there have been few times in my life when my body felt the ease of running.  What does physical freedom really feel like then?  And what about emotional freedom or spiritual freedom?  Have you ever experienced these freedoms?

  • How do I feel Freedom in my Life

    How to be Free of Negative Circumstances by Taking Self-Responsibility

    No one wants to be told they’re the source of their own misery and suffering.  If you’re blaming others and circumstances for your predicaments and unhappiness, you’re missing a golden opportunity for some amazing changes and growth to take place in your life.  Misery and suffering come from within but it’s not who you are and it’s not usually what you think it is – typically.

  • Self Love: How do I Love Myself?

    Am I Selfish if I Love Myself? Uncovering the Myths and Lies of Self Love

    Some people believe it’s selfish or vain to love yourself.  You may have even heard it’s unhealthy.  This is a myth and a lie.  Many people haven’t experienced what it means to love themselves, or what it entails.  Imagine the looks you might get from people you know if you were to suddenly announce out loud: “I love myself!” while proudly sporting a big smile.  A likely response from your friends might be: “Oh . . . that’s nice.”  at the same time wondering: “Who does she think she is?”

  • Osho Zen Parable: Blessings in Disguise

    Blessings in Disguise

    I remember years ago reading a wonderful story from OSHO about blessings in disguise.  It really struck me as truth and a great example of the ultimate in allowing and not being attached to outcomes.  The opposites of good and bad meld together when we’re being neutral and open to all possibilities.  I’ll share the parable at the end of this chapter.

  • Healing Grief, transformation of death through creation

    Transforming Death into Life through Creation

    A fellow blogger and amazing photographer I follow on WordPress, Amy Rose, recently lost a dear friend and in the same week, was told her mother has only months to live. The photos she posted on her most recent blog (the featured image above is one) capture the power of her emotions as she was experiencing them. These photos are stunning. They capture her broken heart and feelings of loss, sadness and grief. I can also see in them her heart full of love and joy, as if while in her grief, she was remembering the times she spent with her friend. These photos embody life. From a death . . .  life was born through creation.

    There’s a wealth of information available to help with healing the inner child.  For the purpose of this blog post, I’d like to share from my own personal experience.

    I’m not an expert on the subject in general, but I am an expert on successfully healing my own inner child.  My hope is that in sharing my experience, you will feel comfortable inviting your inner child into your life.

  • How to use Discernment

    How to Develop Discernment to Make Your Life Easier

    The first counsel written over the gateway to the temple of Delphi, “Know Thyself” says it all when it comes to discernment. I have found that discernment has a direct correlation to how well I know myself. Having good discernment can help us with questions like: What is the best decision for me to make in the moment and what is not? What is it I’m feeling – is it mine or someone else’s? Is this career path in my future?

  • Healing negative beliefs and ending Vicious Cycles

    Healing Negative Beliefs

    Negative beliefs are very destructive to ourselves and others, mostly because we believe they’re true and identify with them when we use “I am” in front of things like being a burden, weak, not worthy, a mistake . . . It’s not true.  You’re not a burden!  Your negative thoughts are a burden – more likely.  Wars are fought over beliefs.  We would die for some of them, believing ourselves to be “right” to the death.  Many times, we find these beliefs we’re suffering over aren’t even ours.  They are ones we picked up from our parents, family, friends, teachers and the media.

    Building a Connection with God

    Not so long ago, I realized that I had no relationship or connection with God. I may have even been a bit skeptical, or perhaps had unfinished business with him. I knew about synchronicity, coincidence, The Secret, The Law of Attraction, the Universe, etc., but my interest was mainly from a point of view: “That’s just how things work here.” It wasn’t personal, I just knew this stuff existed. I had faith, but it was limited to only what I could achieve alone. I was the master of my life and the master of my destiny!
