I – like thousands of people on this precious planet – am highly sensitive to subtle energy. My home is an extension of my energy field. And so whatever enters my home enters my energy field. How I came to this ‘aha’ realization was through two flashes from my past: 1) In the 1980’s, when I first began sharing homes with ‘strangers’ (house-mates), I became aware that I have a natural affinity for Feng Shui – the Continue Reading
Bliss ‘Off the Grid’
It's been an amazing week living 'off the grid'. Our ancestors only knew 'off the grid' living - living unplugged from the electricity grid. They built fires, hauled water, and lived in natural daylight. Some people around the world still do - by necessity, and / or by choice - live in this intimate relationship with nature's cycles. At least once every year - and often more frequently - I take myself 'off the grid'. Continue Reading
Why Meditate? – Part 2
In the sweet stillness of our body and our mind, we begin to open our central channel – the internal 'shaft' which links our energy centers – our 'chakras'. And with this aligning and gradual, subtle opening of our chakras, the King/Queen of them all – our Crown chakra – begins to open. And we begin, on conscious and unconscious levels of our awareness, to align with our 'Vertical reality'. We begin to orient ourselves 'up' … rather than Continue Reading
Why Meditate? – Part 1
Why is Meditation recommended so highly in conjunction with abundance and creating what we want in life? Because when we meditate, we still the Warrior and the Magician and we naturally attune directly and with ease to the King/Queen and the Lover. When we meditate, we still our body to the point that our physiological processes quieten, as if we are moving towards sleep. And yet we are more keenly, Continue Reading
Re-Awakening Our Ability to Vision
It was after my participation in the United Nations Earth Summit that I realized that we have lost (temporarily) our ability to 'Vision'. Somewhere along the path of humanity's development, we lost our spiritual ability to see alternate realities. We lost our ability to perceive possible futures. Without our ability to Vision, we have lost our map. We are continuing along a flowing river wherever it takes us Continue Reading
Sensing Your Full Potential
Relax in stillness. Allow your body to become heavy – in its seat if you are sitting, or on the ground if you are lying down. Allow your body to become heavy, its weight sinking into the surface beneath you. Your physiological processes will begin to slow. The electrical currents in your body will begin to quieten. Allow your breath to slow down. You may find yourself drawn to take a few deep breaths. Or just allow your breath Continue Reading
It Depends … How You Look At Things
It depends how you look at things, what you see. From inside 'me', the vision when I was ten was the first such experience of this lifetime. Yet there had been others which immediately, at the moment of their being an 'event', became relegated to 'forgotten memories'. One of these surfaced in my consciousness many years later. It was a near-death experience, when I was two. My breath was being blocked. I was Continue Reading

What Is Trance?
Trance is like being tuned in to radio station(s) beyond the frequency listened to and registered by typical states of mind. Trance is a state which allows attunement to information beyond the typical frequencies / information bands of day-to-day human functioning. As such, it is highly generative, highly creative, and highly transformative. A friend / colleague of mine refers to her trance experiences as “dancing Continue Reading
