Soul Expression

I'm not going to tell you anything you don't already know in this post. This isn't about informing you. It's a call to action. The space between knowledge and application is where, despite our best intentions, we struggle. That's what this is about. Stepping more fully into your highest self. Becoming more conscious of how you're aligning your energy. Acting on the knowledge and beliefs you already hold. Becoming an even more dedicated and conscious spiritual warrior. I've touched on this before--"being the change we wish to see in the world--even as recently as the last blog post. But I've been feeling the nudge to go even deeper here and explore this a little more fully. This is a topic that has been coming home in big ways in my own life. I've spent years on a self proclaimed spiritual path. Part of this, for me, involves being conscious of what I put out there into the world, how I think, what I say, and what needs healed. And yet, I s

Last year I published an article on the High Heart Chakra (which prior to the Earth's energetic shift existed in our energetic body and is now active in our physical body). Since this is a 'new' chakra to the physical system there has certainly been an acclimation process that many have noticed. I occasionally get questions regarding how one can activate their high heart chakra. This post is in direct response to that particular question. Is this chakra something that we need to activate? If so, how? Below is what the guides have to say as well as a recorded meditation for this chakra. (The original article on the emergence of the high heart chakra can be found here:  http://innerchangemag.com/articles/emergence-activation-high-heart-chakra/ )                                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "There is no need for activation of the high heart chakra anymore then there is a need to activate your other chakras.

Before we get into this post, let me offer a little background on the inspiration for it. I recently got a burr up my tail, as I usually do, while discussing Rife technology with someone. If you're not familiar with Rife machines here is a summary: In the 1920's Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, a microbiologist, invented the first Universal Microscope which allowed researchers for the first time to observe living organisms without killing them, unlike the electron microscopes that had been used to date. Dr. Rife observed that each organism had their own unique signature frequency at which they vibrated and thrived. Further experimentation allowed him to determine what frequency they couldn't  thrive at. This led Rife to develop a frequency device (now called a Rife machine) to kill harmful organisms that contributed to disease. Rife was the first to succeed in isolating the virus specific to cancer and conducted over 400 experiments with cancerous tumors in mice before experime

I spent the past weekend at the beach in Florida. Every morning I woke up early, around 6 am, got my cup of coffee and walked the beach. Early morning beach walks always feel mystical and spiritual to me. I tend to get my best ideas and inspirations on these walks and I often feel like it's a time of communion with my guides and spiritual teachers.  Every morning as I walked along the shore, there were lines of conch shells washed up on the beach. I couldn't take twenty steps without encountering another grouping of washed up shells. This is a beach I'm incredibly familiar with, one I've walked hundreds of times. I'd never seen conchs washed up like this. The critters were still in the shells, very much alive, so each time I came upon one I picked it up and walked it back out into the ocean, putting it gently down on the ocean floor. I chuckled to myself thinking, this is like that story of the boy throwing back washed up sand dollars and telling the pa

I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed as I prepare to teach an upcoming series on meditation. There are so many different traditions of meditation and such a vast wealth of information around meditation practice that it's tricky to figure out how to condense that into a four week beginner series. As I've been trying to figure that out,  I've really been thinking about meditation in general--why is it so difficult? Why do so many of us avoid it like a dreaded chore? Boiled down into a very simple nutshell, it's the practice of sitting and becoming still and connecting with a deeper part of our being. Sounds simple enough. So why is there SO much around this (difficulty, aversion, myriad methods of approach, etc.)? As usual when I ponder things, I began to wonder what the other side's perspective is. Knowing us humans try our best, but still kind of get off track with things, I wondered if our advanced teachers in the spirit plane would have a different

Greetings! This post was inspired by a recent experience I had regarding the unexpected release of a past life incident. I am in the process of treating and healing chronic low back pain through various therapies. In a recent session with a massage therapist we did some intense and deep psoas release work. If you're not familiar with the psoas muscle, it is located very deep within the body, has the tendency to hold a lot of emotional energy, and is typically pretty intense to work with. During this session, the therapist hit some sort of emotional trigger point and I unexpectedly had a huge release of a past life trauma. Tears began to flow uncontrollably as the energy released and I saw an entire scene of brutalization that I experienced in some past life experience. Following the session, the therapist and I were talking it over and we began wondering if ALL past life experiences are stored in our current physical bodies and if so is it possible to release it all. I kept t

This isn't really a story about a dress, but first let me tell you about the dress. The dress was a catalyst for awareness of a long running pattern of self doubt and habitual joy squashing, not living in the moment, and a dependency on external validation. All of that from a dress. I just wanted to buy a dress for a wedding. I wandered into a funky vintage shop and almost immediately I spotted this dress with cats on it! (I love cats!!) Looking at it made me happy. (Joy!)  I HAD to try it on. (Excitement!) I loved how it looked and I loved how I felt in it. (Exuberance!) The fact that it had cheeky little Siamese cats on it made it that much better. In that dressing room, my eyes lit up and I was smiling. (I love this dress! I can't wait to wear this dress!) By the time I got home, my joy gave way to concern. (Doubt!) Should I wear this? (Fear!) What will people think? How will I 'look'? (Insecurity!) The other dress I had picked out for the family wedding i

A question I hear often is about our experiences here in the earth plane--specifically why is there so much suffering? Inevitably this question leads to discussion about the soul and the soul's purpose. I wanted to share with you the information I received from my spiritual guides about the soul's purpose and the soul's perspective of the earth plane. I hope it can ease some of the pain and discomfort that is so often experienced on this journey.                                            *                                   *                                        * "When a soul chooses to incarnate it does so with great intention. There is a highly intelligent design behind every incarnation. The soul will choose its parents, its location, its gender, its ethnicity, its sexual orientation. All of these factors will be chosen by the soul to put it in a prime situation to experience the particular lessons for growth it is after. For example, if a partic

After a long and very uncomfortable stint with “writer’s block”, it feels sooooo good to be putting words on paper again. Although it feels a bit stumbling and bumbling, I’m still happy to be writing something. It was time for me to grab a pen and just show up. We are familiar with the philosophy of ‘just showing up for life’ instead of retreating into our fears. We've seen the magnets, bookmarks, inspirational posters, etc. that state, "90% of Success is Just Showing Up". Showing up might be half the battle (or even 90% as the slogan goes), but what's the other half? I believe it's how  we show up. While showing up is indeed important, I've come to realize that there is more to it. Today someone introduced me to a different facet of this concept of showing up for life. I was reading a Facebook post by Liz Gilbert (author of Eat, Pray, Love ), in which she was recounting her frightening experience from the previous night of singing karaoke in

The idea to look for God—in every face I saw—came while I was sitting at an airport in Chicago. As I sat watching people, and watching my thoughts, I realized how judgmental and critical I am. Innocent people are passing to and fro and there I sit, thinking things like, “Gosh, those are dorky jeans”, or “Gee, he’s full of himself”. I was projecting—judging people in all the ways I don’t want to appear.   I began to see how judgmental and critical I can be and how this applies to most areas of my life, most especially how I view myself. It dawns on me that I’m judging others harshly and critically because that is what I do to myself. I don’t like how this feels on any level and so I decide to try an experiment. I’m going to reverse my thinking. Every time someone passes by I’m going to think something positive about them. Nothing critical. I dive into this experiment, very excited. It lasts all of two minutes. I quickly realize this is a lame experiment because I don’t know
