The Grace Space

Sometimes we need to do something radical to announce to ourselves that we want a change. For me, it was shaving my head. In today's episode of The Grace Space, I share how a symbolic act can express a spiritual intention and open the door to a deeper transformation. My intention was to reveal myself to myself. To live as the Self is uncompromisingly authentic and requires boldness, courage,...

Every hero's journey needs a trip down to the underworld. Here's mine. This is the story of how I went from living on the surface of life to diving down into my own darkness to rescue a slumbering princess -- me. But not the me I thought I was. This was the frozen Light of my Soul, imprisoned in cold glass, and buried in the land of the Dead out of loyalty to a long gone, beloved father. I sh...

Is it selfish to do spiritual work? Not everyone will thank you for it, that’s certain.  Whatever step we’re taking spiritually is going to make some waves inwardly -- and probably outwardly too.  The inner work we do doesn't only affect us -- it affects the collective because we're all connected. And it especially affects those nearest and dearest to us. When you start to change, i...

In my first private audience with him, my Teacher put his finger intuitively right where it hurt most -- my second chakra. I learned to feel again by facing one of the most painful episodes of my life as a woman -- and ironically, I thought I was over it. Just because you don't really feel the pain anymore doesn't mean you've processed it. Sometimes it's because you've numbed it out. The...

We cannot transcend the past until we allow ourselves to feel it. I found that out on my second journey of awakening. The decision to fully commit to my spiritual path galvanized me with joy and excitement. Little did I know it was the beginning of seven years of tears. I was about to step into the river, figuratively and literally. And find out that 'being spiritual' was the opposite of...

I had spent years rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Little did I know the ship was about to go down. In a good way. In this instalment of The Path of Grace, My Journey, I share with you how I made a life-changing decision to walk away from the life I had built to follow a path into the Unknown. It took me an agonizing 10 days to work up the courage to simply be honest with myself about...

When the student is ready, the Teacher appears. As if in answer to a question posed from deep inside the heart, I stumbled into the path of the one who became my Spiritual Teacher. This question had no words -- it was more like a soundless cry for help that went out from me in a broadcast of concentric waves. And with the readiness, those waves came back as an answer from the Universe and coalesce...

The spiritual path is a choice -- not to be spiritual, but to be fully human. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We don't have to 'be' spiritual -- we already are. Our challenge is to be fully human. And that means fully accepting our humanity. Part of our human nature is the ego.  In spiritual work, we're told we must transcend the ego. And this is true. But we can't transcen...

Shedding density? Going crystalline? Feeling spacey? Dear Human, here are some tools to ease your transition to the 5th dimension. Does it sometimes feel like you've   been shot out of a cannon, or that things are happening so fast it's blowing your hair back? That's Ascension, baby.  And it's happening whether you want it to or not. We are moving from one octave to another, vi...

When was the last time you cleaned out your subconscious? What if when we were growing up, our mother asked us that along with 'did you clean your room?' The subconscious is the storehouse of memory, programs, beliefs and conditioning -- in other words, karma. Karma is the burden of the past, everything that weighs heavily on us and makes life feel hard.  Inner Alchemy is the transformation a...

There's no such thing as luck. But there is such a thing as ' baraka ': good fortune and divine blessing. Divine Order and Justice are supreme in the Universe. Nothing is random and everything is expressing its essence perfectly, regardless of our judgments and opinions. In a paradigm of causality, where we believe that one thing is causing another, it's easy to convince yourself that life is unfa...

It seems like a contradiction. And to ordinary awareness, it is. How can you have more if you give more? If you do the math, it doesn't seem to make sense. Giving away necessarily implies that what you've given away, you no longer have. Then again, it depends on your interaction with the field of consciousness, and the spirit with which you live your life. Whatever we give, we receive. Whatever we...

Are you free from inner oppression? Most of us feel like life dictates the degree of freedom we have. Externally we live within certain boundaries and limitations that are imposed from without by the laws of man and the laws of nature. We may feel limited in our freedom of time, money, or physical capacities too. It can be frustrating to chafe against these limitations when we want to express more...

Who are you? What are you all about? How do you see yourself? And most importantly... does it even matter? One of the stages of personal growth is the development of a healthy self-image.  Anyone who seeks to achieve   their dreams eventually realizes that we cannot outperform our self-image, and that unconscious negative self-concepts and emotional energy fields   li...

Got problems? Want to solve them? Listen on!  What's the first thing we need to understand to solve a problem?  That there are no problems. Only situations. Perception is what makes a situation into a problem. Unless you're a mathematician, a problem is usually a situation you don't want or that you feel 'shouldn't be happening'.  This sets up resistance to the situation -- for...

'I create my own reality' as a New Age dictum has almost moved into the common parlance now, at least among people who are interested in a podcast like this one. It's become a hashtag of the manifestation variety. And it's certainly true, for better or for worse. It has always and will always be true. Our very nature is creative. We create automatically, with every breath. We don’t have to tr...

We may not be as free as we think. If you assume that you are exercising your 'free will', listen to this episode.  We have a lot of unexamined assumptions in life. There's a tendency to believe that the reality we experience is the only one, and that we are 'right' about it. There's a tendency to believe that the limitations we experience are 'just the way things are'.  There's a t...

Peace. Joy. Love. Abundance. Are these a living reality for you? Or just words? We all dream of living in those states, but usually put them in the future, once we've 'figured out' how to achieve them.  This series on Inner Alchemy is a reminder that those states are NATURAL to us. In other words, they're our True Nature. And they are only available in the Here and Now. Every episode I s...

Don’t believe that things are going to be the way they always were... because they aren’t. We are Ascending now. The question is, do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way? The only thing that can keep us experiencing a repeat of the past is US: our memories and our attachment to the limitations and the pain of the past. And the only thing that we have any control over is our o...

The technologies of the future will be more quantum, multidimensional and spiritual than physical. Today I’m going to tell you about a profound spiritual technology that can help you have a more graceful ascension process. I’m talking about Kundalini Yoga , the yoga of awareness. If you practice this technology faithfully, you will become more empowered, resilient, grounded, and centred. Kund...

Stressed? Under pressure? Feeling directionless, uprooted, disoriented or on an emotional roller coaster? You're not crazy. You're ascending. It's time to talk about a very real, natural phenomenon that we're undergoing right now on our planet called Ascension .  Understanding what Ascension is and how it affects us is essential knowledge that can help you root yourself in the changes th...

Have you ever met a Self Specialist before? Well, you're about to! You’ve often heard me affirm that we’re living in a New Age now, one in which job titles like that of my next guest will be reoriented to reflect the priorities of the Aquarian paradigm. I’m blessed to know a number of amazing Lightworkers who support people in this transition, and Rachel Astarte is one of them. Rachel is a holisti...

In manifesting my dream home, I came to realize that the true manifestation was not the physical place at all.  The true manifestation of 'Home' is the reconnection to a far vaster Self than you ever realized you were part of. Since coming to live here in my dream home in Southern France -- not just the buildings but the actual land -- I've been shown things. Being in this place wit...

Bob Proctor, God rest his Soul, said that goals are not for getting, goals are for growing. In other words, when you have a dream in your heart, the true purpose of that dream is not the achievement of the dream itself. Its true purpose is spiritual. It’s about your growth: whom you had to become to bring forth your vision for a more beautiful life. In this last instalment of the series on How I M...
