The Mountain Remains…
I am always with all beings, I abandon no one. And however great your inner darkness, you are never separate from Me. Let your thoughts flow past you calmly. Keep Me near, at every moment. Trust Me with your life, because I Am you, more than you yourself are… ~~~Bhagavad Gita I spent the last few days with my parental units, in a little town in Southeast Missouri. This is an area I blogged about last week when I was thinking of my grandmother and my memories of smells, heaven and so on. Lest I sound too romantic, the other reality is that this area located in the buckle of the...
Read MoreDistance Healing Part I
About half of my practice involves working with clients of all ages at a distance. I’ve recently received more questions about “what is it?” and “how does it work?” so I’m going to do a few basics here. Please understand that volumes have been written about this, so I’m not going to adequately capture this in a blog post, even one this long. But I’d like to at least address the basic question, so I’ll include my own personal thoughts, as well as some hard scientific research available to us. Today I’ll talk about research and some of those impacts, and in a following post I’ll get into...

Read MoreForgiveness, Metta & Priorities
Good morning, Happy Thursday! 🙂 I’ve had several conversations today about priorities, forgiveness and how making forgiveness a priority is such an integral part of the journey and a good life. Forgiveness comes from words meaning “allow,” and literally means “for giving.” Everyone I’ve talked to today is having such a rough time, and there is a lot of emotion swirling around. All of this got me thinking about feelings and what we do with them, and about for-giving. I think when we forgive we give up the sense of being a victim so we can set ourselves...
Read MoreRitual, Incense and Ritual Incense
Hello all 🙂 Several people asked me weeks ago to order incense and it has arrived. Much of this comes from Nepal, made by hand by the monks, and the rest from Japan, and has been on back order. I was going to just post this, but in offering my own incense this morning, of course I started thinking about random things and off on the boat ride of my stream of consciousness we go. Most people who come here for sessions walk in, take a deep breath and comment on the distinctive scent of the space. That is the result of high quality ritual incense. Incense has been burned for centuries as...
