Soaring into Unfamiliar Territory
When we are on a spiritual journey of emotional healing and growth, there will come a time that we are traveling in unfamiliar territory. This is where I am now. What feels unfamiliar is how I am interacting now with my world. I am not interested in dependency of others, so I feel disinterested in…

Overcoming Fear and Self Loathing
During this period of my emotional healing and spiritual work, I finally am understanding what it’s like to love oneself. It is not narcissitic, but self love is the beginning of unconditional love for others and humanity. I see the world in beauty, kindness, and possibilities. It brings tears to my eyes to see what…

Yesterday was graduation day for my Master Reiki Training Class. During the last day of our training, we received two ignitions of the master Reiki energy.

Yesterday, I went rocking climbing and deep water soloing with a group of twenty-something. My time with these friends who have not experienced as many of life’s sufferings/traumas including divorce, death, and illness are very different from my older friends who are experiencing divorce (sometimes for the second time), death of their family members, and…

The Pain is Within Us
As I spend time alone, I am hearing messages from my higher self. She says that the pain is within, and not out there. When I feel pain from watching terrorist attacks against innocent human beings, it has triggered something painful with me. This pain is fear within me and emotional wounds of my past.…

In my job at my college where I work, I help students, faculty, and staff who have been sexually assaulted, physically assualted in their interpersonal relationships, stalked, discriminated against, and harassed.
