Welcome to my blog. Here you will find whatever is bringing me joy right now.
Please join me in this spiritual agreement, from my mentor and friend, Jana Massey:
"Together we agree that everything that we think, that we say and that we do at this time will be of the highest good. And together we ask for truth, the understanding of that truth and the wisdom to use it in our lives."
Thank you.
When it's cold and flu season, learn how to use your own kitchen to shorten the duration, or better yet, stop these pesky illnesses before they even have a chance to get started. Stay well and be happy with the help of this short video and simple recipe that I learned from Dr. Richard Schulze.
As a Clairvoyant Healer, Spiritual Counselor and Intuition Instructor, I share many tips for leading a healthy and fulfilling life. Please be advised that I am not a doctor. Nor am I licensed in any healing modality. However, I have had years of experience in alternative and complementary health and healing. All healing programs, including standard western medical protocols in addition to natural therapies, can cause harm rather than the benefit that you may be searching for. After all some people can have a strong reaction to something as seemingly innocent as peanuts or strawberries. Therefore, anything that I may recommend in these blogs and videos could be dangerous for you to try. So, it is important that you Ask Your Doctor First before trying any natural healing protocol. However, most medical doctors have little experience regarding natural healing programs and herbal medicine. So please understand if your doctor is unfamiliar with these ideas.
In 1969, Donovan, the Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist, released a beautiful album called Barabajagal. In it he shared one of my all time favorite songs which he had written and composed. If ever I want to smile and have myself some fun, I remember his little tune and start singing its lovely chorus. It's a wonderful tool to keep in one's back pocket to share at parties or with children and it is a sure fire cure for the blues. If you don't know the tune, listen to this little excerpt. It is such a joy and will make you want to get up and dance around. And speaking of rounds, it is delightful to sing this in a round. Happiness runs in a circular motion Thought is like a little boat upon the sea Everybody is a part of everything anyway You can have everything if you let yourself be Happiness runs, happiness runs Happiness runs, happiness runs Happiness runs, happiness runs Happiness runs, happiness runs Happiness runs in a circular motion Thought is like a little boat upon the sea Everybody is a part of everything anyway You can have everything if you let yourself be. Sometimes I substitute the last line with "You can be so happy if you let yourself be." And both are true. We all tend to ride ourselves so hard. And most often, if we just let ourselves be who we really are, not only do we enjoy ourselves much more, but we also find that we are quite naturally tending to our own unique part in the grander scheme of things. So with thanks to Donovan and in honor of all of our New Year's resolutions, here's to letting ourselves be happy. Happy New Year to you all. ♡
Learning how to recognize our unique role in the grander scheme of things is one of the keys to joy. This is how we come to give our true service to the world: by staying in our joy. I like to let my joy be my guide. If I find myself slipping out of joy, it is a signal from my higher self to make a course correction. Yes, we want to help others and yes, it is good to lend a hand, but we need to check within to be sure that what we are lending our energy to is in accordance with our truth, the truth of who we really are.
Too often, we are socially conditioned to give ourselves over to the wishes and demands of others, to be beholden to the tribe. And this by nature is not necessarily bad. It can be a beautiful thing provided that the type of service being asked of us is what we feel in our hearts that we'd like to give.
Herein lies the key. We have to ask within. Only we know how we'd best like to serve. And this is something that we find out when we listen to our gut feelings, or when we take the time, usually in meditation, to consult with our god-self within. And when we hold to this as our guiding principle in life, we not only give our lives in service to all, but we also find a sense of everything being right in the world.
So, in this, our season of giving, I like to remember to ask within so I can stay in harmony with my part in Divine Plan and thus find myself in service to the whole in my own special way.
Our Enteric Nervous System keeps us safe by giving us what we call gut feelings about whatever is going on around us. Enjoy this short video about how we are all connected through our feeling sense.
In pre-agricultural times, when we humans lived in small migratory bands, there would often be lean times as we would move from one place of abundance to another. These times of scarcity would occur periodically and often would grow more profound while in the depths of winter. It is felt by many, myself included, that these times of intermittent fasting and occasional longer times of fasting would allow our bodies to do a deep self cleaning. Many of our contemporary health practitioners advocate the benefits of intermittent fasting or times of significantly reduced caloric intake for our health. And the benefits of longer term fasting regimes, like water fasting have long been known within a variety of spiritual communities for the ability to bring exceptional clarity and insight to the practitioner. I have done extensive fasting in the past, both for reasons of health and for clarity, and have found these experiences to be most profound, leaving me with a feeling of being 'preternaturally clear.' However, in recent years, I have discovered juice fasting, or 'juice feasting,' as it is fondly called by those who have enjoyed it. A common adage in natural healing advises that we rebuild while we detoxify. And this is what occurs while we juice feast. Here, the reduced caloric intake lets our bodies remove toxins while the large servings of fresh, raw, organic, vegetable juices flood our bodies with the nutrition needed for healthy metabolism and the rebuilding of damaged or worn out body tissues. Frank and I have long enjoyed adding a pint of fresh, raw, organic, vegetable juices into our daily meal plans. We prefer the juice without the pulp because we can consume so much more nutrition that way: lots and lots of enzymes, minerals, flavonoids, vitamins, and other beneficial phyto-chemicals. The difference is between consuming the equivalent of two stalks of celery and one cucumber versus a whole bunch of celery and several cucumbers along with any number of other leafy greens, all of which would be impossible to eat in a single sitting. Plus the juice is loaded with soluble fiber, which is what our body really needs and we get plenty of other fibrous materials with which to sweep our colons clean in our other foods. So, most mornings, it is our fresh, raw, organic, vegetable juice that we enjoy for breakfast because it gives us such a great nutritional and energy packed start to our day.
This year as the onslaught of holiday foods began to loom ahead, we decided, in early November, to take a different tact in regards to holiday feasting. Instead of risking ill health and distended organs, we made the choice to do what nature has long encouraged us humans to do and began a time of reduced caloric intake. Only this time, in addition, we decided to add the benefit of health building nutrition with juice feasting. I must tell you, it has been great. We are feeling fantastic. All of the little aches and pains and other signs of inflammation have simply melted away. And, please pardon me for boasting, but I must share that my vision, which has always been good, has progressed to crystal clear. I've been jokingly saying that I can see a mosquito on the arm of a hiker on the mountain, which isn't quite true, but it gives you an idea of the increased level of health that our time of juice feasting is blessing us with. Of course our loved ones are missing us at the holiday feasts, but our doors are always open to them for a nice cup of herbal tea. And we are delighting in using this time of celebration for detoxification and the rebuilding of our beautiful health.

One of the best ways to increase our creativity is to do what we did so
well in childhood. I referring to devoting little moments throughout
our days to "Just Being Me." It is simple and easy and brings us
adults great reward.
