Invisible Chains – Part 2
Photo by Mika Banmeister This whole thing is surrealistic to me… and yet in some ways I must have had a sense this was coming. Eight years ago when I began writing my book, I was inspired to dedicate the entire last section of the book to examining how women have been created… Not by…

Sailko, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons If you are looking for concrete answers – regarding the invisible chains that women are struggling against today, you must view their origins. Consider the Papal Bull, the “Vox In Rama”, put forth by Pope Gregory IX on June 13th, 1233, it is really something we should all be familiar…
Keep readingReflections on Crossing Over
How do you feel about death? Is it like the one you lost crossed a bridge, and they are too far away to see but you still expect to see them to walk around the corner into view…? Is it like a door that your loved one walked through and it closed behind them with…

Our culture has not been kind to women. When faced with the receptive dark places in your life – The warm fecund feminine aspects of yourself, or of the world – Do you feel the sacredness? Do you feel the power? Only women can carry life, nurture it and bring it forth… This makes us…

What are you birthing now? Do you have a sense of it? Let me know if you do… I forget sometimes, that I am precocious when it comes to many things, one of them being astrological events. For instance, if Mercury is going retrograde in 2 weeks, I will start experiencing it a least a…

War… So many angles to approach this from. Emotional Spiritual Logistical Polarity has been used to incite the masses for centuries. Pick a side. Choose between “the two” (as if there are always, ever, only two options…) But no matter how you look at it, war, was not, and still is not, the answer. Polarity…

Have you ever had some one walk out of your life with no warning? Relationships with people are not easy, especially if one or more of the parties is not being honest about what their needs or boundaries are. That is a sure way to doom any relationship. It is again one of the reasons…

When was the last time you followed a spontaneous impulse? I’d love to hear in the comments below… The other day when I was leaving Hannaford’s supermarket, I felt a strong nudge to go to a group of trees in the distance. It was 10⁰ out making the wind bite through everything I was wearing.…

Memoirs of A Spiritual Catalyst It was almost too much for me, this solitary journey without any guidance from people around me, but the very connections that my sensitivity to reality allowed me to find in nature, were the things that kept me “fed” and able to survive – despite my extreme pain and isolation.…

Memoirs of A Spiritual Catalyst At 18, and continuing for more than a decade, I was hungry for information Despite vacillating between the shore of believing in the unseen world, and running from it with all my might. I wanted someone to tell me “Yes these things are real”! I wanted guidance in using these…

Can I say, with a margin of safety, that there are some people out there who exhibit one or more of the following: have premonitions, are intuitive, are able to heal others, can speak with those who are no longer living in physical bodies, are able to communicate with animals and more? Our bodies do…

Memoirs of A Spiritual Catalyst If you see visions, it can be very hard to tell the difference between several important factors. Is what I’m seeing for me? (Or for someone else?) Is what I’m seeing a warning of things to come? (Or is it something from the past?) These are very important questions to…

Connecting The Dots Can I make a suggestion? Never write a book that is 450 pages long! Also, while you are paying attention, let me add, never write a book that has centuries of footnotes! Yep, writing this book has been a trip! Not really being in charge of what needed to be written, at…

Did you ever wish there was a school like Hogwarts? Have you ever had an experience that left you wondering if you were magical? Or even where the boundaries of reality were? The truth is we are all born magical with built-in superpowers, but we are quickly taught to discount or mistrust them. And so…

Memoirs of A Spiritual Catalyst I had studied about shamans in college, but I did not associate myself as one until fairly recently. It wasn’t until I was in my 40’s that I heard someone say that shamanism was a path to direct revelation. There have been shamans in every culture since the earliest of…

So there I was, lying in bed, wondering if it was ever going to stop. Wondering if I was ever going to be able to sleep again. I get out of bed, it’s 1:28 am, thinking I guess I might as well work if I’m not sleeping… I go to my computer and open up…

Memoirs of a Spiritual Catalyst I regularly went through periods of swearing off exploring energetic realms in hopes of accomplishing the coveted goal of being like other kids. But no matter how hard I tried to shut off my awareness of energy or my clairvoyance, I could not. It got to the point where I…

None of us likes to feel alone, and yet where we are taught to seek connection, very rarely satisfies that deep need. That is why so many love relationships fail. We are looking for something from them that we are supposed to get from other sources. We are hardwired for connection, but we are not…

If you look at the cover of my book, you will see a Scarlet Macaw just like this one! Did you know that parrots have evolved beyond other birds in the same way that humans have other primates according to many recent studies? Let’s help keep them able to live by their cellular mandates in…

We fear what we don’t know. Especially if it is powerful. The bear is a perfect example. Would it surprise you to know that the bear is considered a sacred animal in many cultures around the world? But more than just sacred, the bear almost universally was thought to have great healing powers. Healing powers…
Keep readingHealing… are there truly other ways?
When I was nine years old I healed a horse that was being abused and about to become dog food because of his resulting lameness. I accomplished this feat by following inner promptings that I did not understand (including climbing out a bathroom window to sneak down to the stables one night). The thing is,…

Memoirs Of A Spiritual Catalyst I had to learn everything myself, by trial and error. And aside from being very lonely, exploring the world we cannot see without any community guidance, can be scary if not dangerous, (however please note that I did survive!). Although I did not understand it at the time, everything that…

Long ago there was no field called science, there were just people trying to connect the dots. It was our philosophers through curiosity and observation who discovered so much about our natural world. People like Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and Galileo. They were thinkers, who were not afraid to look at accepted beliefs and question them.…
