ARTArticlePersonal Year 20151 Personal Year—This is a powerful year of change and responsibility for you. You have been growing in confidence and clearing out much of your insecurity and hesitation from the past. Now you are feeling the drive to face new challenges and obstacles with strength and poise. You have witnessed how others have used their will to impose authority and control. You are careful now to be considerate toward others while being strong and convincing. By the time this year is over you will have moved into new heights of leadership and responsibility. The rewards will be more than worth the efforts.ARTArticlePrayerPrayer is so ancient. Since the beginning of time humans have honored life, pondered and celebrated their existence! Any positive focus upon the resolution of conflict, the well being of human beings and our planet and the expression of joy and gratitude for all the beauty and gifts in our life produces a potential. Immediately when we make a shift from Fear to Faith, we call upon a greater source of wisdom that reaches far beyond the human conception of what is possible.ARTArticleREIKI ENERGY HEALING: Magical Mystical MiraclesOne of my students commented I don’t talk much about reiki any more; and this took me by surprise. I recall people groaning as I incessantly spoke of the wonderful new world of Reiki for years! Perhaps now after 19 years, I tend not to talk about it because it has become such a deep part of me, an integrated natural reality like breathing. Reiki flows thru every waking moment effortlessly now. Or perhaps I have become a bit, well, ungrateful or better yet, assumptive. I expect Reiki miracles, yet the wonder never ceases.ARTArticleReleaseI sometimes have a potty mouth and I tend to fall easily into negative words when my spiritual tank is a quart low. I am getting better and better at recognizing when my language and thoughts are not in alignment with how I want to show up in the world as a minister.ARTArticleSee the Rainbow in Your LifeOften times, we become so consumed with the misfortunes of life that we fail to see the rainbow that awaits us. When the brisk summer thunderstorm passes overhead, eventually the clouds clear and the brilliant sun begins to peak through… and beyond the sun’s rays and the blue skies dawns the rainbow that seals our bond with the Universal flow of energy. Its splendid array of colors gives us the sacred sign that we are not alone and that there is always a blessing that awaits us.ARTArticleSeeing Spirit in Inantimate Objects and in NatureSince childhood I have perceived faces in what seemed to be everyday objects. I can perceive energy with my spiritual vision, seeing what appears to be molecular structures. And I often acknowledge the presence of spirit around me through means other than clairvoyance, clairsentience and clairaudience.ARTArticleShadow PeopleHave you ever thought you saw someone standing next to you, but when you turned there was no one there? Peripherally you may have seen what appeared to be the shadow of a person. The shadow could have been very light gray to dark gray. You may even have felt their presence at the time you saw them, which really makes the validation of your vision important. I want to validate and affirm what you are seeing. There really is someone there!ARTArticleSigns to "Just Breathe"Sometimes synchronicities (or meaningful coincidences) that are related show up in rapid succession. This usually calls for you to amp up your awareness because an important message awaits. Such is what happened when I experienced a number of "just breathe" signs, one right after another.ARTArticleSolar Flares- How They Might Be Affecting YouWe have been seeing many M1 type Solar Flares lately, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about the impact and affects of the solar flares on our energy. Solar Flares bombard the earth with an increased amount of high frequency energy. These flares have caused lots of physical, emotional and mental symptoms for many people.ARTArticleSpiraling Upward - Part 2!Back in May, I shared with you that my theme for the year is "Spiraling Upward." For those of you that may have missed that article, here's a quick recap. In February, we attended the annual International Regrouping Retreat in Puerto Rico. There was a different theme each day of the retreat. The theme that stood out to me the most was "Spiraling Upward." On the day of "Spiraling Upward," we were offered the opportunity to go surfing. Immediately, my beliefs and concepts about surfing kicked in. I heard myself thinking, "Surfing is too difficult for me. I will never be able to do that."r ARTArticleSpiraling upward! How to move beyond your comfort zone for growth, fun and fulfillment.As many of you know Richard and I attend the annual ALC International Regrouping Retreat in Puerto Rico every year. We invest our time and money in going on this trip because we know the spiritual growth we gain makes the investment come back to us exponentially. This year’s retreat was particularly deep and insightful. Each day had a new theme. It was like we were reinca ating every day to a new lifetime’s opportunity!r ARTArticleSpirit Believes in you. Do you?I had a very short dream last night. In the dream I was in an airplane soaring in a clear blue sky. I was with a group of people and it was obvious that our intent was to skydive from the plane. The door was wide open and as I walked toward it a man pushed me out. I awoke with a start, feeling a bit panicked, and then my rational mind took over in the realization that I had a parachute strapped to my back. I had everything I needed for a safe landing and that there was nothing to worry about.r ARTArticleSpiritual IndependenceIn America, we look at the month of July as the celebratory beginning of our nation’s independence from King George of Great Britain. As children of the world’s then-superpower, we revolted against the constraints of the remote royal family and declared our path, thus forging a life based on freedom of the individual and of each state. When we step back and look at our spiritual choices, we see that our beliefs, long held and practiced, provide a sense of comfort, yet also keep us close in a circle and cycle of ritual and acquiescence.ARTArticleSpiritual LandscapingMore and more my gardening skills lack enthusiasm. The other day, with grass freshly long from a deep periodic irrigation, I decided to mow the back yard. A few weeks ago, I brought the mower in to the repair shop for regular maintenance and the last time I used it, it started up fine. This time, I primed the carburetor and pulled the cord – again and again. After 43 times (yes, I counted!) I gave up. That’s when the universe decided to demonstrate a practical, yet very enlightening allegory. Priming the pumpr ARTArticleSpring Cleaning: Ridding the Clutter from your Life!Ah, the allure of spring… isn’t this the perfect time to get all the dust out of the nooks and crannies of your house? Springtime is also the perfect time to take a long look at your personal and professional life to fine-tune your mind, body and spirit! In order to de-clutter your house, you have to start from the ground up and work your way out the front door.ARTArticleStand Firm in the Faith: A Super Bible School Activity for Memorizing I Corinthians 15:16I am so proud of our military and how day in and day out they are defending our country. These men and women are truly standing firm as they do their job with great passion and focus. Do your kids know that God wants them to have this same kind of passion and focus while being on duty for Him? First Corinthians 15:16 says this: “Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage and be strong.” Doesn’t this verse sound like the perfect Scripture for any soldier?ARTArticleStanding on the SummitYears of preparation have molded you into a young woman who is worthy of great things, and you know you’re capable of reaching wondrous heights. We have always had faith that you could reach your goals, and at times wished that you could see your own true potential. Slowly, but surely – one step at a time, your eyes began to open to the knowledge of your power – and you found it vast. You began to anticipate the possibilities of your new life and we finally see hope gleaming in your eyes – and it is good.ARTArticleStaying Stuck Is EasyIt is an uncomfortable habit that feels so familiar it becomes comfortable. It turns up the volume on fear so high that to move in any direction instills a panicky feeling. You feel trapped and victimized, convincing yourself that doing anything different will kill you. Have you ever felt this?ARTArticleTalking to My Soul While Doing the DishesI now understand the way to the soul. It is through the heart. Not only that, but I now realize I can actually communicate to my own soul through my very heart. It is where we are headed, to connect with who we really are through the heart. We can then find and be the love that we are. This is what will change the world when we each do this individually, and thus collectively. This is how we create peace. When we become love, all that doesn't resonate with love falls away. This is our ticket to the Golden Age.ARTArticleTend to the Sacred Fire of Your LifeOne day you wake up and think “is this it? Scanning my self generating to-do list, juggling required tasks that scream urgent, doing everything for others- family, job, community – where is this headed? Help! My life is out of control! Where are all the things in life that created excitement, vibrancy, and the desire to jump out of bed in the morning?” When the demands on your time have a greater importance than you and your sanity, overwhelm reigns and joy vanishes.ARTArticleThe Brick Wall: Facing AdversityDo you ever feel that life is rushing past you? Can you relate to the saying, “Stop the world, I want to get off!” How about the phrase, “Calgon, take me away!” Sometimes the world seems to spin too fast; one day melding into another, and despite our harried pace we fall further and further behind.ARTArticleThe Embodiment of PrayerSometimes I wake up in the morning and think of the coming day and coming days in general, and I think that I must have been born on the wrong planet. But then I slowly realize that I am just where I am supposed to be. When I realize that all of my fears, worries, and regrets seem to just vanish. I realize that there is not much that I can do to change the world. In order to make great changes the majority of the people must be willing to say yes. They must be willing to exhibit the behaviors that will make things better and put aside their differences and to so.ARTArticleThe First Habit for Success: Be ProactiveIn his bestselling book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", Stephen R. Covey lists the seven habits that people need to adopt in order to succeed. These seven habits are the following: • Habit 1: Be Proactive • Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind • Habit 3: Put First Things First • Habit 4: Think Win/win • Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood • Habit 6: Synergize • Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw The first habit, which states that you should be proactive, lays the foundation for the other six habits.ARTArticleThe Five Magic Phrases to Attract What You Want"We are each responsible for our lives and, more important, the thoughts that create them. If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think." — Oprah Winfrey What you say when you talk to yourself has a huge impact on what happens in your life. You create your focus through the power of your thoughts and the images you hold in your mind and emotions. When you begin to choose your thoughts in a more conscious fashion, you can begin to shape your destiny.ARTArticleThe Fundamentals of Using your IntuitionDutchman, Sven Kramer was on his way to a gold medal and an Olympic record in the 10,000 meter race when his coach directed him to change lanes because in his mind he thought he was in the wrong lane. The coach erred—Sven was actually in the right place at the right time and he knew it; but he chose not to follow his gut feelings – his intuition. His win was forfeited! Have you ever been in the right place at the right time and something throws you off course?ARTArticleThe Long Lost Instruction Book To The Game of LifeWhen you’ve seen as many movies as I have, you begin to see that they all follow a certain pattern. This is true not just of movies, but of all great stories ranging from those found in classic mythology and literature to modern TV series and video games. Joseph Campbell called it the monomyth or hero’s journey. It’s basically a series of steps that the protagonist must go through during the course of his or her adventure. In addition to this, there are also a number of spiritual principles that often find their way into storytelling.ARTArticleThe Mystical Side of CloudsOur Skies Are Talking to Us; Sending Messages of Love, Hope, and Guidance Ever see a cloud that truly has a meaningful shape? It’s not just your imagination. If you’re noticing, it’s probably because there is a message in it for you.ARTArticleThe Numerology, Psychology and Cosmology of Alcoholism, Gambling and Sexual AbuseNearly four decades ago I acquired a book entitled The Cosmic Doctrine by Dion fortune. It has been my bible of cosmology and numerology since. I have acknowledged it in my books and writing for decades, including an article where I reflect upon the state of numerology in our time (An old Practitioner Reflects Upon Numerology and the Missing Trinity). The truths of this book, which was written in 1923-24, are being confirmed recently in discoveries of modern cosmology and quantum physics.r ARTArticleTHE POWER OF AN HONEST NODo you ever find yourself agreeing to do something and later scratching your head and saying to yourself -- “Why did I do that” or “why can’t I say no!” Do you wonder why you cannot say NO, or Thank you, and NO in a firm, kind way. I do have pretty good boundaries and most of the time am able to do this, although there are times when I squirm and find it uncomfortable. Yes, squirm mode can be a little disconcerting. I am mindful each day to live in integrity so this is somewhat of a double YIKES situation.ARTArticleTHE PSYCHIC SENSESPsychic senses come in many forms. Most people know about clairvoyance, but I wanted to list the rest of the “clair-s” so that you are familiar with them all. You may have one or more of the following, but usually one is stronger than the others in each individual. -Clairvoyance - I thought I would start with the easiest. Clairvoyants see visions in their mind. You may have the impression that this is the only way to psychically know something, but don’t limit yourself to this way of thinking. There are other ways too.
