When Togetherness is Too Much

Finding the balance in togetherness can be tough. You want connection but sometimes it just feels like too much – too much talking, too many questions, and too much closeness. You feel anxious when you’re required to spend too much time with your partner/spouse. It feels smothering. If this describes you, then unlike many people who fear abandonment, you fear being engulfed. For you, the childhood wounds of not having […] Read more »

The Key to Healing Abandonment

It’s quite common to feel abandoned. Whether you were separated accidentally from Mom/Dad as a child, felt left behind during their divorce, or shaken by the death of your parent, the trauma lingers. Perhaps you felt alone and unsupported when your needs weren’t met repeatedly. Or maybe you feel the deep grief of disconnection from your true Cosmic Parents.

Stepping Through the Door to Truth

Every time we open a door, what we see on the other side may surprise, delight or even frighten us. How we respond determines whether we manage to move ahead in our spiritual evolution or take two steps back. I know this sounds rather simple, but at the moment it’s entirely relevant to the human experience. There is so much undiscovered awareness and more people are starting to get a […] Read more »

There are times in life when we feel pushed to make a move. We are pressed against the edge of the familiar and our sense of safety. We may feel a nudge or perhaps intensifying pressure to expand!!

Even if you have […] Read more »

Critics and Doubters – How Do You Deal With Them?

Your worst doubters and critics are not the people outside of you – they will always come and go. The worst are those inside your own spiritual house, attempting to usurp your power. The inner critic doesn’t miss an opportunity to visit you with criticism, attacking and devaluing you in some way, even if it’s your shining moment.

Life happens – a constant flow of joyful and painful change, and everything in between. Human resistance is as certain as change, because when the negative ego dislikes anything that is unfolding in life, whether it’s minor or profound, it will seek a means to avoid it. Unfortunately, wanting things to be different than they are through ego-control only amplifies trying circumstances and creates suffering. Ego can make a mountain […] Read more »

Equation of Acceptance

you are enough

In meditation, I saw this clarity about ‘acceptance’: acceptance = acceptance of being here on Earth + acceptance of purpose + (accepting all others + being accepted) I asked “how?” for each part of the equation: acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being Light + accepting myself acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being Light + loving myself acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being […] Read more »
