Many of us continue to hold onto old anger somewhere in our psyches, and try not to feel it. Year after year, we remember our anger towards someone, and it seems that the hurt happens anew, ripping open the wound, over and over again. The results may play out as physical symptoms and/or emotional distress. This remembering and rehashing frequently…
Imagine if you seriously believed that the universe was constantly conspiring in your favor. What would life be like for you, if this was your core belief in each moment, no matter what was happening? This actually is the greatest "conspiracy theory" of them all, that the universe has your back at all times. This is the operating principle of…
What's Going On? Many of us wonder what this Coronavirus is all about, and how we can trust the universe, in the face of this pandemic. I'm not answering this as a nurse, although that is my background and training. I'd like to address this question from the belief that we all are in the hands of Source. In my…

It's the perfect zen master of the sea, powerful and silent, floating freely. I saw a few of these last week while kayaking among the mangroves…
Because many Reiki practitioners are empaths, a common discussion among practitioners revolves around the suffering that is felt when a friend or client has an illness or is going through a situation that seems sad. Events Can't Be Judged As an empath, I always try to remember that what others are experiencing is not random and cruel. I have found,…
We tend to see yogis, lamas, and other spiritual leaders as being in a class all their own. “That level of spirituality is unattainable for me!,” we may think. We may feel “less than” and unworthy. We lament, “For God’s sake, the sheer amount of work involved to get there must be an insurmountable amount of sweat and sacrifice!” We…

Hello Anxiety, My Old Partner I awoke this morning with a pain in my upper belly. I am on vacation with a friend, about to discover the joys of Sedona. I have no apparent worries, nothing I have to do, nowhere I have to go! Yet, I awoke with this pain. Diving into the pain, I realized it was linked…
