Self-Care For The Soul

Happy Mother’s Day! In honor of this special day, I’ll be sharing some Sufi teachings about honoring moms as well as a reading from my upcoming book.   Bring the mom in you and all your intentions and prayers for the moms in your life as we honor the truth and sacredness of the feminine soul.  This episode includes an ancestral lineage healing for all the moms who have come before y...

We are often warned about the danger of anger. Yet, every emotion serves an important function – even anger.  But what do we typically associate with anger? It’s a sign of losing control, being irrational, unreasonable – and yes, dangerous. So we suppress it, and along with it we suppress the voice that needs to be heard, the actions that need to be taken, and the passions that...

Today's Circle offers you a space to pray for healing for yourself, others, human, animal, planet – wherever your heart feels called to bring healing and harmony.   "A body that has fallen into disharmony becomes susceptible to disharmonious influences." ~ Rosina-Fawzia al-Rawi, Divine Names: The 99 Healing Names of the One Love   Same is true of the mind and heart.   I invite you t...

Last week we focused on holding others in love even when they might be challenging our patience or hurting our hearts. This week it’s your turn to receive the love you need for your heart.

You’ll be guided to use your breath to breathe into spaces on...

That person in your life who can’t quite get it together. Everybody has one. It might even be you. They frustrate the heck out of you. You try to reason with them, plead with them, support them, challenge them, and maybe even enable them. To no avail.   But what do they really need? Deep down? What does the soul need? What do you need to be holding peop...

Today millions of people celebrate the Easter holiday. It’s a time of rejoicing, and it also carries some pretty heavy messages that template our collective consciousness and create an unhealthy society.    As I sat in meditation asking for guidance for today’s Prayer & Healing Circle, a deluge of voices rained down – messages and misconceptions that surround the life and d...

Everyone has an inner artistic creativity that is waiting to be unveiled and expressed. The art that is manifested is an expression of the Ultimate Artist and an opportunity for us to know our Source as well as the beauty of the Creation. The beauty exists within us and is us, and it is reflected in the natural world around us. The beauty yearns to be expressed through us. In today’s Meditation &a...

If you are living on planet earth, you likely could use a tune-up. And if your body is here but you’re not living in it, you could likely use a clearing and embodiment practice.   In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we’ll call on an ancient Sufi practice I learned from one of my teachers. We’ll be using Sacred Sound Codes and Divine Names to clear the body’s energy centers,...

You’re likely familiar with healing the inner child, but what about the inner mom? Every mother I know carries guilt around the inevitable imperfections of motherhood. Mothers are human too, yet they are the child’s first connection with the material realm, a connection with love and compassion that was constant and unconditional in the pre-existence realm that the soul comes from. Yet no human ca...

It’s hard to be effective or have much impact in our lives if we do not feel a sense of security and safety. And with all that's moving in our world right now, it's easy to feel thrown off balance by the instability in the collective field. In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we explore Sacred Sound Codes that invoke security and create a sense of safety in the body. Join us live on Sunday...

Do you ever find yourself listing in your head all the things that are causing you stress? Recent events that had a strong impact on you, situations you need to deal with, people who need your help, projects you are behind on, all the little things that just aren’t getting done, fears and what-ifs about our unpredictable changing world. Recently I have. The list looping in my head – work, home, ca...

How can you connect with your center? How can you return to rest in your heart and find peace?   In today's Prayer & Healing Circle, we'll use some of the Sacred Sound Codes and breaths to conne...

For years I’ve taught that the mind is not the healer – it does not have the power to heal you. Yesterday I sat through a presentation that offered evidence for the mind’s power to heal. It was a good presentation, and I understand why this is so widely believed. Yet there's still something missing - at least for those seeking true lasting transformation.  In this episode I explain the r...

Can you think of a time when you had a breakthrough, but still didn't really feel at ease with the situation - like it just is what is without any explanation or justification, nothing to prove? Would you like to move beyond breakthrough into mastery? In today's Prayer & Healing Circle, we talk about the difference between a breakthrough and healing. I can think of several times in the pa...

Sometimes we just need to stop, take a deep breath and allow ourselves to be filled with Mercy. In today’s Prayer & Healing Circle, we empty our cups and expand our capacity to receive, and fill the cup with the healing power of the love of the Divine.  Join us in this healing meditation. You're welcome to join us live on Sundays at 10am US Eastern / 7am US Pacific time. http://Commu...

What is the difference between Healing and Transformation? And how do we get there from here? Listen in to today’s Prayer & Healing Circle to find out… After last week’s session on Setting Inspired Intentions and Affirmations, I thought we’d talk about 7 Steps to Manifestation today. However, guidance came in and directed me to talk about  7 Steps to Transformation instead . Manifestation...

Happy 2021! It’s a great time to set Inspired Intentions. Inspiration is how Source guides and directs us. Intention is how we align with the inspiration and say yes.   Inspiration comes through the heart. It’s the Breath of Spirit that breathes you – inspires.  Unfortunately, the heart can become cluttered and guarded, making it challenging to feel or hear the i...

When you think of powerful role models, ones with qualities you would most like to emulate, what do you think of? A quality that tops the list for me is Dignity. If you’ve been following the past few weeks, I’ve been on a theme of restoring dignity, specifically in the entertainment industry and female sexual empowerment. My chief concern is the model we set for our youth. Each of us is a rol...

Today’s topic comes in response to learning that the song “WAP” was named 2020 Song of the Year by several media outlets and reading reviews calling it a “sex-positive expression of feminine power.” Today we're exploring what Female Empowerment is in terms of sexual expression. When I was a young teen, I was aware that song lyrics shaped what was expected of the girls and boys in my small town. I...

Purification of the Heart means keeping the heart clean and clear of clutter. Polished even. If your body is a temple (and it is), your heart is the alter of that temple. The heart is a gateway between the material realm with all it’s conflicting and contrasting ideas and value systems and the realm of Unity – the world of Unconditional Love and Pure Mercy. If you want to live in Love and Unity, y...

This is the week of the Thanksgiving holiday in the US. Last week I held a webinar on Optimizing Your Food Lifestyle during the Holidays. Some questions came in on navigating holidays with family, food & self-care. They are relevant to the struggles we all go through, so I want to address them here.  Here are the questions. We’ll center our healing meditation around these topics: 1. Somet...
