You won't become successful by doing what is "safe", what is expected of you by others or even what is sensible. In healing. In life. In business. In anything.To be successful you need to be deeply in tune with your own heart and you need to take risks. Doing what you...
Fluffy Spirituality
One of the things I dislike about the fluffy, woo woo side of spirituality, is that it puts so many people off the truth. Why? Because it is so inauthentic. Sure, it must be lovely to float around dreamily in the ethereal realms, but is that really what we are...
Building Something New
Sometimes, in order to build a rock solid foundation, you have to allow everything that isn't rock solid to crumble. It's a natural part of the process. When you look back, you think "Well, of course! There was no way I could have allowed those parts to stay.", because they...
Disclaimer
There was a disclaimer I used to put up at the beginning of the Energetic Awareness course I developed for people new to the self-discovery path. It has a picture of a blissed out dude, sitting on top of a mountain, meditating and surrounded by love. It has the words...

Ready To Let Go
People sometimes worry that it will be scary doing this kind of work. That they won’t be able to handle the big emotions that are buried deep. But more often than not, it’s just a huge relief to let them go. I still remember one client, a few years ago,...
Eclipse Window 2019
This eclipse season was a big one! How did you go? Did you use the energy to propel yourself forward and leave your old fears behind?
