Resurrection
Yesterday, the world was changed. Whether you ascribe to Judeo-Christian theology, pagan theology, astrology, or no theology, the energy is present everywhere on the planet and in the stars today. (And yesterday’s earthquake in Southern California is proof! 
) The world shifted yesterday; the old world of sin and darkness has given way to light. Christ, the son/sun, the sun god Ra, whatever you choose to call him, has been miraculously reborn and resurrected in the world – and in you. This takes place not only in ancient stories and biblical texts, but also in the formation and movements of specific planets and stars in the sky which the ancients understood in a way that most have lost connection to. Their wisdom was that, “so above, so below”, and these changes and shifts in the energy and patterns of the cosmos – and our relation to them on earth – also take place within our own psyche – you might say in a very psychic sense, energetically.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness gets a bit of a bad rap, in my opinion, as something very wishy-washy or new-agey. Almost as if people who operate from a space of forgiveness in their lives are simply doormats, willing to accept anything and who are weak or non-confrontational. In my work and life, I find almost the exact opposite to be true. For me, forgiveness is a brawny, active, almost muscular thing that is universally inherent to human beings.

When you’re considering making significant changes in your energy or your life, or looking to create something new – a new project, career, relationship, or routine, it can feel a little uncomfortable to your body. If you’re shifting or moving around within your internal landscape, it can be hard to know what is “real” – which can be more than a little terrifying! You might fall into habits that would have you rely on family, friends, loved ones to create a sense of safety that will allow you to take that next, big, scary step. It’s completely natural for us to rely on each other in this way, but it can create undue pressure on our relationships – particularly if you’re going through a really rough period with lots of upheaval. The other option may be to pull inward, and isolate yourself until the change has occurred, which can be uncomfortable for your body, which craves attention, contact and stimulus.
So what is the other option? You can rely on the earth for support. Yep, the entire earth is there for you to lean on – at all times. You don’t have to ask for permission, you don’t have to justify it, you don’t need to be responsible for it. It’s been there for you your entire lifetime – in fact, it’s been there for all of us. And it’s not going anywhere! Our bodies are made of minerals, compounds, and matter that is of the earth, so working with earth energy can be a great healing for your body. It can give you the strength and support that you’re looking for – and it’s within you. You don’t need to look outside of yourself for what you crave.
If you’ve never been consciously in communication with the earth, you might be in for a treat. The earth has wisdom and energy that is very, very old – but is also constantly in motion, movement, and change. The earth is constantly recycling itself; constantly creating, destroying, and recreating itself. You might say that it is sympathetic to your journey and the changes you wish to make. It knows all about how difficult that can be. It can be a sympathetic and healing force for you to lean on and be supported by. All you have to do is ask for it, and the earth will show you, in magical ways, that it is there for you.
I’m leading a free, guided meditation workshop in April about creating space for growth and change by being in communication with the earth. If you’ve never participated in a psychic energy or guided meditation workshop, I encourage you to come out and explore it for yourself! If you’re feeling nervous – just ask the earth for a little push. Learn more about the workshop here.

Most of us are programmed to believe that failure – of any kind – is bad and wrong. We’re programmed by our parents, by the school systems, by society in general. The trouble is, failure is essential to the process of growth and change. Here are 5 reasons why I think it’s imperative to allow yourself permission to fail!

There is more to you than meets the eye.
Most people live their lives blindly accepting what is presented to them as reality and as truth. They spend their time and energy considering matters of survival – ie, food, shelter, clothing; or matters of empathy – ie, social relationships, communities, fitting into groups; or matters of achievement and recognition. There’s nothing wrong with any of these areas of focus – in fact, it’s important and beneficial to have these life skills nailed down! The alternatives are not surviving, not fitting in, and not feeling as tho you are contributing to your life.
Read More...You’re more than a spirit – you’re a body too.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Teilhard de Chardin
In any spiritual practice or information, you quickly learn that you’re more than your body. This can be both liberating and confusing. It’s easy to begin to live your life in energy, live in spirit. That can be the “fun” part. But it’s important to remember that you’re still a body too. And that doesn’t have to be a downer.
Your energy, or life-force, is the power you possess as a being. It is where you create from, where you dream from, who you are in spirit. It’s the part deep within that you connect with in those moments of inspiration, of true affinity; it is the part of you that is aware and awakened when you enter your inner landscape through meditation, prayer, or simply your imagination.
But you are more than just a spirit, or life-force. It’s imperative to remember that you have a body, too! As a spiritual being in human form, you interact with the third dimension, or time and space. Our bodies are made from earth energy, in the form of chemicals, compounds and matter. The forces that have formed the earth like gravity, atmosphere, and food supply have shaped what our bodies are, what they need, and how they function. This synergy creates an unbreakable bond between our bodies and the earth.
Our bodies have their own operating system, and need little attention from our spirit to function. That might sound weird, but you’ve experienced this many times of your own life – when your spirit checks out of your body, wether trough daydreaming, sleeping or heavy drinking. Think about driving a car, for example. That feeling of “auto-pilot” is really you setting your body to perform an activity without you being conscious or present. Think about sleeping. While you are exploring the inner landscape of your spirit, or cavorting out on the astral dimensions as a being, your body is happily performing all the necessary functions for you to continue living. Breathing, digesting, circulating blood. Your body really requires very little of your attention to function. Think of people who sleepwalk! Or all the people around you that seem to be “asleep at the wheel” – merely going thru the motions without thinking, feeling, or really being themselves.
Bodies like and need few things, but the things they do need – they need in great and consistent quantity to be comfortable.
- Bodies like to feel safe. They like to feel protected from danger.
- Bodies like to be nourished. They like to be fed, watered, and given sustenance.
- Bodies like physical affection. They like to be touched, played with. They like to run and exert, they like it when energy is in movement.
- Bodies like to have freedom of choice. They like to be affirmed, recognized, appreciated.
Learning to listen to your body can open up a world of change and growth in your life. What messages is your body sending to you? Are you tuned in to these? What signs and signals have you been avoiding or ignoring? Bodies don’t like to be neglected, and the longer you refuse to listen to its wants and needs, the louder the shouting will become. A toothache will turn into oral cancer. A cough or cold will turn into bronchitis.
Dis-comfort or Dis-ease is your bodies response to a foreign energy, or a way of telling you that there is something in the third dimensional environment around you (time and space) it is not in agreement with.
Are you listening? It might be telling you to slow down, to give it time to acclimate, time to heal. It might be telling you to speed up – that it is capable and interested in more stimulus or activity than you are allowing or providing. Your body has information and experience, and can teach you great things.
When your spirit is not tuned in to your body, or listening to its feedback and advice, you can feel disconnected from reality. You can feel out of place in your relationships. Survival (food, shelter, clothing) might seem difficult or unattainable. Your emotions might feel overwhelming or uncomfortable. You can feel trapped or limited in your life. Oftentimes people will blame these things on everyone or everything around them – but really it is because they are simply not listening to their own bodies feedback and advice. Your body knows a lot about this world, about functioning well on planet earth. Remember, this is where it came from.
Your body can be your friend or your enemy. You can treat your body like a partner on your spiritual path, or it can be an obstacle. Some people, when embarking on a path inward towards knowing their true energy or being will neglect and dis-associate from their body.
But it’s yours, it’s amazingly complex, it has a vast knowledge of information to give you, and its the only one you get this time around. Are you listening to it, learning from it, allowing it time and space to be a true partner in your life?
