Loving Yourself

Love

Self-love is a form of self-care. Loving yourself can mean any number of things. To me, it means letting ourselves open up to the love that created us, to the love that always lives within us. In my journey and spiritual studies I've come to understand that we are all love at the core of our beings. It's a world-view that can seem impossible when watching the news, but probable when you see the love that exists quietly around you in friends, family, and loved ones. So few of us were raised to love ourselves. We feel far from the love that created us. If it seems far away or unlikely, it's only because our human world has been living far away from the love that...

Using Your Will in Alignment with Divine Guidance

honoring your truth, inner knowing, Will

As we enter 2021, I felt called to write about finding the balance between using your will and following your inner guidance. Your will is the power you use to create things in the world. Your inner guidance is the promptings you receive from your higher self, spirit guides, and God as to the best path for your soul. Ideally, your will be in balance with your higher guidance. Finding the balance between the two is the sweet spot that will help you create beauty in your life and in the lives of those around you. Before my experience and before learning to heal, I used my will to create that which I wanted in my life. I did not have a sense of something higher...

Letting Go of the Past

Releasing the Past

As 2020 comes to an end, I’m thinking about letting go of the past. Are there things and people in your past that are clinging to you and not letting go? I can relate! Before my experience with the light, I spent a long time trying to make peace with the past. I did many exercises and went to a lot of therapy. Sometimes it helped, but most of the time, I felt weighed down by the pain of the past. Thankfully, my experience taught me that pure love can heal in an instant. Loving myself with total acceptance has helped me come to peace with myself and what’s come before. While letting go of the past can seem like a very hard thing to do, it...

The Source of All Peace

breath, centering

I hope this post finds you well! I started writing this post in October, in advance of the US Presidential Election, and will finish it after, to send out the first Friday of the month of November. I am, along with everyone else I know, apprehensive about the results. It’s hard to know what’s going to happen, who’s going win, and what direction our nation will take. In the midst of so much disinformation and online ads, it’s become hard to know who to trust or believe. My own extended family is divided on candidates with seemingly completely separate sets of facts, based on which media each consumes. And thanks to the film The Social Dilemma, I’ve learned about the social media algorithm that often results...

Staying with the Breath

breath

Today, amidst Coronavirus and the memories of 9/11, I'm thinking about the breath and about how important it is to breathe. Last summer I ended up in the hospital with spreading limb numbness that was eventually diagnosed as a mild form of Guillain-Barré. Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune response that at its most intense can result in total, but usually temporary, paralysis and require use of a ventilator. It was a terrifying but important time. I learned how precious our health can be. I also learned how vital breathing is. I watched my oxygen sats on the monitor and breathed deeply. Sometimes they dropped and it felt scary. When I was able to stay calm and centered, I could breathe in fully and my numbers would...

The Healing Power of Reiki

healing, Reiki

After years of studying and practicing Reiki, I often feel like I take the subtle healing power of Reiki for granted. I began studying Reiki when I was 23. Back then, it was an amazing revelation. I was astounded by it. Over time, I got used to it. I studied other healing modalities. Reiki was cool, but so were all these other healing paths, I thought. But something happened last week that really upped my appreciation for Reiki. I began working one-on-one with a student in need of healing and guidance. As I began teaching her about Reiki in this intimate setting, I started to truly appreciate its power and promise. What a beautiful method, so accessible and simple, and yet beyond our human understanding. Reiki...

Dream of the Heart

dreams, heart

I have just awakened from a beautiful and insightful dream. In it, I was remembering how to ignite my heart, and how to make it feel love. My thoughts in the dream were loud. I was speaking them and living within them. "It can be harder as an adult to feel love," I said in the dream. "Life can take over! But once I remember to connect to my heart and feel love, it is so much stronger than it was when I was a child." The love in my heart was so strong at the end of this dream. It was burning. Then I awoke. I hope that dream is helpful for you to hear! Especially since becoming a mom I've found that I can get swayed into...

Healing Racism

God, racism, spirituality

Healing in the context of the racism inherent in our society has been on my mind this week and, truly, for many years. What is my place in this part of the journey? Where can I best serve? Many years ago, I found myself in a circle of Black healers, thanks to my primary Reiki Teacher, herself a woman of color. She took me into her world and showed me a side of reality I hadn't been as aware of before that. For that I am grateful. I spent weeks and years learning from her and from an amazing group of healers who were healing more than I had ever imagined. Yes, my rape and trauma were awful, but they were not compounded by generations of...

Choosing God, Choosing Love

God

Why choose the path of God and of love? It's not always the easiest path. It's not what all your friends might be doing. It might not even be the path your family is on. Aligning with God and aligning with love might ask you to shed painful layers of ego, and relearn ways of being. It might require you to let go of comfortable things and embrace things you fear. So why get on this path at all? It's the most exciting and meaningful path you can take in life. It's truly why you are here. Your soul and higher self is always nudging you toward the path of love. It wants you to live out your Godly destiny by stepping into who you truly are....

Imagination and Healing

visualization

Why do we use our imaginations in healing so much? This was something that really struck me as different when I first started on this path. I didn't quite understand the reasoning behind it. These days I use imagination and visualization in my daily meditations as a sure tool of peace and connection without even thinking about it. My first visualizations were in my Reiki 1 class, when we visualized our chakras, and later did a guided meditation to meet our spirit guides. I wondered whether I just making all of it up. I remember thinking, "ok so I just imagined meeting my spirit guides, did that mean I really met them?" It seemed strange and different. After many years of being on this path, I've come to...
