Are You a Proud Sufferer?

1289580426Vd3P93

  Sometimes we cling to the strangest things… including some weird and destructive ideas about ourselves that can be self-fulfilling. The most common of these is the pride that many of us take in our past suffering.  I’ve done it myself many times, and so have you.  There’s probably only a 50/50 chance that you’re [...]

Don’t Cut Your Nose Off!

cut_nose

  When I was a kid the old folks actually used time-tested parables and expressions.  Nowadays most of these come from TV shows (“No soup for you!”) and other popular media. But before TV took over our culture, those old chestnuts served well.  ”A stitch in time saves nine.”  In other words, fix it now [...]

It’s You, Not Them

man-mirror

Recently a pal of mine, Julie, wrote something about “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”   Got me thinking. Of course it’s a cliche’…but cliches become cliches for a reason: because as often as not they’re true. Those of us with “differently-enabled” loved ones in our lives become painfully aware of this truism.  Nothing [...]

When the Clearing Doesn’t “Work”

scales

  A large part of the work I do involves “energetic clearing”.  A lot of people nod knowingly when such things are spoken of.  But as with a lot of things, that’s just because otherwise they think they’ll appear to be stupid (hell, I’ve done it myself when faced with something I know little about). [...]

“I Think I Already Knew That”

question-mark

As you can imagine, people consult with intuitives, psychics and energy workers for a wide variety of reasons.  Obviously, the common thread is that they want help with things that they haven’t been able to do anything about through other means.  Intuitive work is the red-headed stepchild of the healing arts world; after psychotherapy and medicine don’t produce the results they [...]

Who’s Right? Does it Really Matter?

curmudgeon2

The other day I read yet another blog post by someone who works in the intuitive/spiritual field calling “bullshit” on some details of spiritual knowledge or another.  I don’t really remember exactly what it was…  I think it was about “soul groups” and negative souls…stuff like that. I must admit that in the past I’ve been guilty [...]

Money, Courage, and Taking Risks

One of my main ways of communicating is through my Facebook page (you’re invited to join me through the link over there on the right).  I post whatever occurs to me, usually several times a week.  The thoughts I share  usually are found helpful by at least a few people. It’s easy to tell which [...]

Spiritual Awakening: So what?

fortuneteller

We hear a lot these days about people “waking up”.  Waking up to their spirituality…to their potential…to the idea that what we see around us is not all there is to the universe. Often, this change in outlook is born of extreme pain.  We’ve tried everything we know of to get our lives on track…like [...]

Labels and Book Covers

856584668

The way people label themselves has always fascinated me. For most of  us it starts at a very young age… even in middle school you have the cool kids, the rich kids, the jocks, the nerds.  Even the loners are a group…they just don’t congregate as such.   Most of the time we choose these labels for ourselves; sometimes [...]

Letting Go of the Pain; Stop Slapping Yourself!

nelson

I recently had a few conversations that provided stark evidence of what happens when we choose to keep ourselves in the “comfort” zone of pain.  We can call this choice “subconscious”…but it’s really more properly an un-conscious reaction.  It’s conditioning,, and it continues simply because we don’t take the time to examine and become aware [...]
