As we continue to work with and develop our experience base with our very real and connectable allies of the invisible realms, our faith and confidence in allowing them to teach, guide and assist us also expands.

 

Meditating with your spiritual allies can be a powerful and enriching experience. Over the past year I have made a practice of calling in and getting to know some of my personal spirit allies on a more direct level and turning over a period…

Most of us think that love is our relationship to some other person or object in the physical plane and it is not. Love is our relationship with the source of all life and consciousness, and that implies trust and confidence. The real meaning of faith.

CHOOSING LOVE



As we create all that happens to us through our thoughts, beliefs and…

Some mornings I am gifted with inspiration for the day, and this morning I was especially gifted from my friend Janet over a cup of coffee.  Janet is one of those lovely beings whom spirit shines through all the time when I look at her, even though she sees herself as “cloaked” – her gifts and powers not always visible to everyone.

She looked into my eyes for a few moments and then said “You know, I was just seeing that you were a magnificent tree in a past life.”  This thought…

I am space * I am the sun,

 

I am directions * Above and below * I am the Gods * I am the demons * I am all beings * I am darkness * I am the earth * I am the ocean.

 

As long as there is a you and I there is no liberation * No freedom. When there is (a difference between) you and I, there is no joy, no peace.



Renounce all notions * And then renounce the renouncer * Of those notions.

 

When even the notion of the…

Using our creativity to call in what we are wanting in our lives is a powerful and magical tool. Before beginning any spiritually magnetic art project, be sure to call in your allies and guides to hold and ignite the space. Create or imagine a circle of stones, leaves, pinecones or chalk creating the space for you to work on your vision board or other creative manifesting project. When you are finished, release your guides and dismantle the circle to set your vision free.

Dr. Ned Hallowell shows you how to move past the pain with anyone in your life.





"To understand forgiveness, you must first understand what forgiveness is not," psychiatrist Dr. Ned Hallowell says in his book Dare to Forgive. He explains it isn't about turning your cheek to someone or running away from the problem. It's not about condoning what the…

Stepping Stones: One Day at a Time

Our lives are made of stepping stones, one experience after another in perfect and divine order.



The years of our life do not arrive all at once; they greet us day by day. With the descent of each setting sun, we are able to rest our heads and let the world take care of itself for a while. We may… Continue

I have been working with mandalas since the fall of last year and also practice shamanic ritual in my spiritual life. I recently reconnected physically with my beloved toltec shamanism group and am taking a class with them at this time as well. About a month ago I was working to create an eagle mandala and having a difficult time of it as I am not usually good at…

chalices and incense

pentacles and charms



light the candle

and toss the runes



Some think that ritual

that fair exotic spice

is the making of magic

and is bound in sound advice



But all these things are tools

not the place where magic is found

magic is creation

nothing hidden or profound



The painter, not brush, paint and canvas

is what makes a master work



When the pentacle is inscribed

and the last candle's… Continue

This is a wonderful period of the year.

We are always reminded of the beginning of life when spring is at hand, and change is at hand.

In fact were it not for the law of change, and if things did not continually change, life would not only be void of events, but there would be no life and moreover, no interest in living.

 

These great changes are taking place in nature and, in fact in the working of the Cosmic and its

laws on earth.  What may be constantly…

Don't Resist Change

There was this museum laid with beautiful marble tiles, with a huge marble statue displayed in the middle of the lobby. Many people came from all over the world just to admire this statue. One night, the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue.



Marble Tiles: Hey statue, it's just not fair. Why does everybody…

A Special Goodnight



While many of us have morning rituals that connect us with our center and help us to set intentions, we may want to explore the magic and power of nighttime ritual as well.





At the end of the day, as the sweet, dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down our bones and rest, we find ourselves at a clear… Continue
