Hello fellow spiritual travelers, It’s been quite a while since I wrote you, and I’m sorry about that, but I’ve been very busy dealing with some very time-consuming personal matters: I’ve been looking for a new place to live and have found that there’s been nothing more unsettling to me than moving. This will be …
On Mothering
In the 25 years of doing shamanic healing, I’ve worked with a great many people who needed to find peace within the relationship with their mother. Whether a mother is alive or deceased, biological mother or adoptive, and whether the child is young or grown-up, the mother-child relationship is a sacred, often complicated quest. I …
Uncertainty During Transformation
I don’t have to tell you that life is quite uncertain. Most everyone I know is struggling with the external challenges of rapid change going on now in the world. We see challenges in our government, perhaps in our relationships, in our communities, and (hopefully) within our flowering hearts. We are in the midst of …
Where Is The Stuckness In You?
As I write this, during the evening of January 24, our federal government is still stuck in a big, ugly quagmire of polarization. It was a disappointing day when the votes were tallied, and a bill wasn’t passed that would end the shutdown. We’re witnessing a massive battle among those with power, our elected representatives, …
Love Over Fear!
I awoke this morning with a humungous knot in my chest, right at my heart chakra. I’ve been noticing this knot on and off for several days and believed it was related to bad posture – slumping, particularly while at the computer. My chiropractor just worked on that area, at the mid-back. Though the gentle …

SPIRIT IS AT THE POLLING PLACE
In the midst of early voting this week, I had a magical experience at the Polling Place. You just never know where little miracles are waiting for you! I arrived, eager to vote, only to hear that the internet had just crashed as I was walking up to register at the ballot-giver’s desk. The crash, …
Shamanic Extraction: Clear & Shine
Have you, perhaps. been feeling out of sorts, out of balance, anxious, irritable, foggy, or depressed by the challenges of life these days? Many of us are facing big challenges with health, relationships, healing the past, and/or finances. Because we are all one, we are all experiencing everything, on some level. We’re also collectively grieving …
25th anniversary and my own “Me Too” reflections
Over 32 years ago, I was a young realtor looking for a meaningful way to express my deep desire to raise the consciousness of humanity. Every part of me passionately felt that as a world culture, we were in the midst of a vast, spiritual drought. We were hugely disconnected from nature, each other, and …
Taking Refuge
While I don’t identify myself as a Buddhist, I resonate strongly with many of its concepts and practices. Its brilliant clarity about the fundamental practice of “taking refuge” really struck me the other evening, while present at a rare talk in Evanston, IL, by Her Eminence Mindrolling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche. In truth, it made me …
