Got Gratitude? (a few ideas for cultivating appreciation)

We often think of November as a month to focus on being grateful.

Many of us celebrate Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving and the beginning of the holiday season with the intention to gather together with gratitude in our hearts and appreciation for the abundance in our lives.

As we move into the holidays, we are presented with many opportunities to slow down, reflect, appreciate life’s gifts, and tap into the energy of gratitude in our lives.

It can be hard though—the gratitude thing. I often think that despite our best intentions, it’s easy to fall out of gratitude and into focusing on stress, all that feels wrong in the world, and whatever we feel is lacking in our lives…

March Akashic Magic: Point of View

As I opened the Records and felt the energy this month, it was this juxtaposition of movement.

And I saw being in a simulator ride, and the ride and the seats move you back and forth and up and down. And it's designed to make you feel like you're experiencing that. In reality, you're just in this little simulator.

And so there was this sense of movement and things happening around us. And yet at the same time focusing on the individual who is like “I'm just on a ride right now, I'm buckled into my seat, I am fine”…

Akashic Records 101

The Akashic Records.

What the heck are they? How can we better understand their wisdom? How did I even hear about them and wander into them and become a channel for these messages?

Great questions. Here’s a few answers in this tiny 101 survey course that I wrote to help make the records feel more approachable, understandable, and accessible for us all…

February Akashic Magic: Hearts Wide Open

“Hearts wide open” is the first phrase that I heard while opening the records, and I paused at it because that line is part of the prayer I say to open the records.

And I saw hearts literally opening up and wanting to expand, as I was saying the prayer, which has never happened to me before. When I asked for an image just now I saw that image again. Hearts wide open. Opening your hearts.

This is a month of expansion...

Poetry: The Growing Up Years

‘The Growing Up Years’

They were the years I learned,
our hearts often travel of
their own volition,
with no permission slips
and little regard for the field trips
they take with our lives…

Staying Centered in Uncertain Times

Lately it feels like things are changing on a moment by moment basis. The pandemic has tossed life upside down, and we are all navigating into unknown terrain.

I’ve been so many shades and tones these past few weeks. One moment feeling positive and can-do, the next grappling with financial anxieties and long-term implications.

As a transformational teacher, I’ve struggled to find my voice and how best to show up and offer support. As an empath, I’ve struggled to maintain my energetic boundaries and separate out my feelings from the collectives. As a grief teacher, I’m realizing the magnitude of loss, and it’s triggered a complex web of grief tied in with losing my brother.
