When you lose touch with your inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.   Eckhart Tolle

How many of us grew up in less than happy homes? As children we remembered, for awhile, who we really were, but we thought that (unconsciously, of course) if I just vacuum all this unhappiness up, and deal with it later, then everyone will be happy? And, I remember who I am, so I can handle it.

The problem was that we vacuumed up all the unhappiness, thinking the family would be happier - but they werent! They stayed unhappy! But now you are carrying around their unhappiness in your ... READ MORE

I was listening to a Live Internet Broadcast of the Abraham-Hicks Workshop in San Francisco a few weeks ago. I love these teachings, and even though they basically say the same thing over and over, I always get something new. That morning I got how to be in alignment and be in the flow in a whole new way. Nothing new was said, I just heard it differently. And, as a result, I am feeling a whole new level of appreciation for my life, my work, my healthy body... and a whole new confidence in the law of attraction and life supporting me in amazing ways.

During the workshop, a man was asking about his career. Abraham has such a brilliant way of helping ... READ MORE

I have been a student of Abraham-Hicks for years. And, for years I have wondered what to call "healing". Because, if you get sort of picky or literal about the Law of Attraction, the word "healing" implies that something is wrong. I was delighted during the Abraham Panama Canal Cruise (March 13 - 23, 2011) when Abraham was asked about healing. Here is a transcript of what was shared:

Whenever someone says to us I aspire to be a healer or I am a healer, we like to say we really really really like the word teacher/healer, teacher/healer, teacher/healer because everyone who is out of balance in terms of their physical body, and therefore what they would ... READ MORE

I have been in the midst of a love wave for the past week, and I am in awe. You can read my blog about my friend Lisa who had been having health problems. On January 25, she called 911, and has been in the hospital since then. A few days after being admitted, she was told she has cancer in her bones, which caused many fractures and other serious health problems. The first week was a process of tests and more tests, and just trying to get her pain and breathing under control. I was at the hospital alot doing energy healing and offering support.
On February 3, I started a website for Lisa on caringbridge.org. Another friend posted on a chat group that Lisa had been very ... READ MORE

I have a dear friend who I have known since 1997 when she took her first Reiki class with me. Since then, she has taken all of my classes, helped me to teach some of them, helped me when I coordinated workshops for Rosalyn Bruyere, traveled to Greece with me in 1999.. We have been friends a long time.

In the past few months, her health / mobility became increasingly challenged. She thought she had pulled a muscle in her back - and over time it became too painful for her to get in and out of her car, or go up and down her stairs, lay flat in her bed, or sit up. When I spoke with her about two weeks ago, she was unable to sit or stand, and ... READ MORE

New Years celebrations often include setting goals for the year, making New Years Resolutions, saying goodbye to the old and ringing in the new - oh, and drinking champagne. Fun, but most of us arent great at keeping our resolutions, and all too quickly get caught in our old hamster wheel of life. In fact, more often than not, our good intentions and resolutions end up making us feel worse about ourselves - because we have not lived up to our expectations. >/p>

I recently read a letter from one of my favorite authors in which she talked about choosing a word - just one word - before each new year, and using that word as a focus for ... READ MORE

I used to think I was part of the save the world team. I wanted to help heal as many people (and animals) as I could. I could feel the pain, the injustice, the suffering - and sometimes I would forget I could not take it all on by myself. That belief eventually evolved into realizing that I am part of a team - I am not the only one who wants to save the world. There are millions of us. It is not all on my shoulders. What a relief. But I was still stuck in the linear thinking that because there is suffering in the world, that I had to carry it and suffer also.

Then I started to realize that, paradoxically, the happier I am - the more I help to create happiness on ... READ MORE
