The Grace Space

When we integrate our polarized aspects, we ascend to higher consciousness. The veil between illusion and reality grows thinner by the day. Like Truman Burbank discovering his manufactured world, many of us are awakening to the carefully constructed narratives that have shaped our perception of reality for generations. This awakening brings both promise and peril. As we stand at the threshold of r...

What happens when childhood UFO sightings in a small Florida beach town collide with adult questions about humanity's true cosmic origins? Claire takes us on a deeply personal journey from the infamous Gulf Breeze UFO phenomenon of the 1980s to our current moment of potential disclosure about non-human intelligence. Contemplating the pristine white sand beaches of her hometown, Claire draws powerf...

Explore how keeping secrets can lead to a fragmented sense of self and the emotional toll it takes on our lives. Discover the liberating effects of embracing honesty and vulnerability in our growth journey.  This episod...

Don't be afraid. Open wide the doors to your life.  In this final episode of Season 4, I share with you a synchronistic -- and recent -- story about two very special crystals of mine that broke on the same day, and the flood of teachings that poured forth from them. One was repaired with no loss of integrity. The other had come to the end of its journey and gave up the ghost. One taught...

When we're going through the most challenging times of our lives, we have a huge opportunity to discover Wholeness.  The last year has been such a challenge for me.  Up against my deepest fears and most entrenched limiting beliefs -- by conscious choice -- I've been living where the rubber meets the road. But this is where we really encounter the Point of Power within ourselves, because...

Grasse Roots Perfumery: What my self-guided intuitive apprenticeship in perfume making taught me about beauty, harmony, alchemy, and blossoming from within. Many years ago, galvanized by a powerfully liberating dream during nap time, I spontaneously started an artisanal natural perfumery. I was an actor. I had never made perfume in my life, or even thought about it. But within a very sho...

"When we're not afraid, we take very different actions in the world." -- Megan Macdonald Who would you be if you totally trusted Life? What would you create?  How would you go about your day, stand, walk and talk? If you felt autonomous, provided for, and had everything you needed within you, how would that change your outlook? Our conversation about the ancient practice of Shivambu -- otherw...

What if I told you there's a perfect healing medicine tailor-made for YOU, and available to you every minute of every day? And it's totally, 100% free? Imagine that you had access to your own inner pharmacy. A place that makes everything you need to heal and balance every level of your being -- body, mind, emotions and spirit. All healing comes from the re-establishment of Divine Or...

Women: are you on speaking terms with your Yoni? If not, you're missing out on one of life's most fulfilling relationships. We have no idea the power we possess right in our very own bodies.  For thousands of years, systematic repression and control of women's bodies and natural rhythms have divorced women -- and men -- from the true depths of power, pleasure, creativity, spiritual...

Are you truly the Master of your space? If you think mind control is limited to fictional sinister dystopian TV shows and movies -- think again. The whole point of mind control is that you don’t even realize you’re being subjected to it until you wake up. We can no longer afford to simply accept official narratives about the events we're witnessing in our world; we need to question everything...

Are you still wild? Or has your wildness been civilized all the way out of you? How far have you drifted from Nature? Sacred Intimacy is the naturalness of simply being as you are, and that’s anchored in your wildness. The loss of wildness translates to a loss of trust in Nature, in Life and the implicit order of the Universe. When there’s an agenda afoot to turn us into complacent, compliant auto...

Confession is good for the Soul. And the brain.  It's time we told ourselves the truth about some things and connected the dots. The dots in here -- reconnecting the parts of our brain that have been disconnected from each other due to trauma. And, correspondingly, the dots out there -- realizing the extent to which we have long been subjected to systems of control that deliberately...

"Chance is but a name for Law not recognized." -- The Kybalion We're living in a time of unprecedented chaos and uncertainty. Look around, and it seems like so many things are falling apart. Because they are. And yet, everything in this universe operates according to primal principles or Universal Laws, and nothing can operate outside the Law. That means that whether or not we like what's unfoldin...

The best thing to do when Life is purifying you is to surrender. Or... add fuel to the fire. Purification is a necessary and natural process on the spiritual path. But it burns. How do you know you’re being purified? It’s often through a series of deaths, losses, and endings. It stirs deep questioning and even brings us face to face with our mortality, and what we’ve made of our time on Earth. Are...

In an unconscious relationship, you're always working on the other person. In a conscious, ethical relationship, you're always working on yourself. In today's episode of The Grace Space, I share what I've learned from two 'failed' marriages about what really destroys trust and intimacy. It's not what you did -- it's why you did it. And the fact that, most likely, you have no idea. When we're uncon...

How do we heal our relationships? And is it possible we've been missing the point about their true purpose? For many people, relationships are a source of pain, frustration, even anguish. Many intimate relationships are minefields where we learn to step carefully. Many a happy wedding turns to divorce or uneasy cohabitation. Until we understand the true purpose of relationships, disappointment is...

What happens to our life when our sense of identity dissolves? What happens to our relationships when we no longer play by the old rules? What is it that survives dissolution? Dissolution is when something falls apart, disperses, dissolves, and changes form. It's a form of death. We see it in the rotting fruit; the log in the fire that turns to ash; the sugar cube that melts into your co...

Why do we store the past inside us instead of letting it go? Why do we hold on to pain? Because we can't handle it. In this episode, we explore our tendency to stockpile emotional energy, or samskaras, and the often serious consequences this has on our life. The truth is, we were never taught to handle our emotional energy. It's commonly accepted that we should live our life, choose our relationsh...

Death is everywhere. But that doesn't have to be a downer. If we embrace it, we are reborn. Welcome to Season 4 of The Grace Space! There are seasons in life, just as there are seasons in the year. And it's important to recognize that these seasons are a natural part of how we grow and evolve. It does no good to resist winter when we're in winter. Winter has its purpose and its place. Under the gr...

Are you 'standing in your Truth'? Is that just an ego trip? Is it selfish to be your Self? There seems to be some confusion about what it means to 'stand in your Truth'.  What is my truth? Am I allowed to be myself? What does that even mean? What about other people? If I'm true to myself, it could hurt others. If I'm true to myself, my life might fall apart! Yes. When we t...

In today's Q&A, we invite the intellect over for tea and listen to all the ego's 'yeah, buts'. Well, maybe not ALL... The egoic mind is full of resistance to spiritual truth. But there is another part of us that recognizes it when we hear it. When that part of us outweighs the ego’s resistance, the thirst for growth becomes all-consuming. But you have to be willing to go deep if you really wan...

You asked. I answered. Here come the Q&A Episodes! During this third season of The Grace Space, I've shared spiritual keys of inner alchemy with you, and gone deep in the telling of some of the stories of my own journey on the Path of Grace. Your messages of gratitude have really touched me -- and your questions too!  I promised you I would dedicate an entire episode to addressing those q...

To break free of your cocoon requires courage, honesty, and a refusal to play the roles and the games that are expected of you by just about everyone. “Your path is the path of Grace”, my teacher told me several years after I had committed to my spiritual journey. Intuitively I knew it was true, but I can’t say I understood what exactly it meant. Over the years I’ve deeply pondered what Grace is,...

“My heart is like a glorious grand piano, but the lid is locked, and the key is lost”.  This quote from Anton Chekhov’s play, The Three Sisters , perfectly describes the state of being I existed in for nearly 20 years of my life. In fact, it describes the state of many, many people who don’t yet have access to the heart space. In today's episode, I share with you the story of how I lost...

What's in a name? Potentially, the frequency of your Higher Self. This is the story of how I learned to accept, embrace, and begin to embody my spiritual name. Spiritual naming has a long tradition in ancient cultures; a spiritual name is a guide in the awakening of consciousness which affirms your spiritual destiny and elevates your spirit. A spiritual name contains mantric sounds which bene...
