Wake Up and Create a Miracle

Many think of my work as an intuitive medium, shamanic practitioner or guide as being about communications with spirit.  But intuitive abilities, while core to my work, are not really the point.  Intuition and my work are about exposing the illusions that limit us and revealing the truth of our exquisite potentials. 

Intuition is the communication system of wakeful living.  It shifts you from identifying with the limits you have learned and integrated into your creative process and come to believe as “fate” or “reality”.  By opening to your intuitive truth, you shift out of the restrictions of the stories that define you and make you feel the need to be “special; more than; better than; young; gifted; rich; successful” in order to be happy.  These needs arise from the identification with the tool meant to give you a physical journey as an unlimited creative spirit.  That tool is known by many names: the ego; the personality; the mind; the thought machine; the lower self; the identity; the false persona; the illusion and so on.  No matter what you call it, that tool is not the truth of you.  It is merely a tool given to assist your spirit in having a full immersion experience within the physical world. 

At this point in human evolution, most have come to identify fully with the tool aka the ego – and have given it full power to rule life and create reality.  In short, it’s become a god.   It determines your perceptions; shapes your emotions and physical wellbeing and dictates most of your experience as a person when you live with the ego – stories of your life – as your power source.

We are all invited to live awake.  Wakefulness is the presence or remembrance that you are a spiritual being with unlimited power to create your reality.  Your ego cannot accept that statement as truth.  So it will work hard to prove you wrong and explain how a power outside of you pulls all the strings for your life. 

To live an intuitive life means never accepting what you hear, see or feel as the end game.  It means living in the question.  It asks you to be open to seeing the truth with full awareness that your mind wants to dominate your perception by feeding you lies about who you are and what you can be. Intuitive living is the invitation to discovering truth through direct experience.  Find out – are you truly what you believe?  Do you hold the power to unleash limitless miracles in this lifetime?  Are you truly capable of experiencing unlimited joy, love, health and prosperity without buying into the illusion?  Are you capable of experiencing unlimited joy, love, health and prosperity when you buy into your story (the illusion)?

The video below reveals a light show projected onto a building in Portugal.  Watch the video and notice what appears real.  Projections can seem very real.  What do you notice when you see the movie on the front of the building?  Do you know that you too are creating a movie that is your life? That movie reflects your deepest beliefs about who you are; what you can be and have; what is reality; how much love, joy, health and prosperity is available to you.  What is true?



Watch and let me know what comes up for you…

This Holiday Send Your Love

This is a time of celebration for many.  Across the globe we honor the Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, Bodhi Day, Yule, Ashura and Kwanzaa. These holidays symbolize how deeply we connect with divine spirit through our cultural and religious orientations.  The holiday celebrations can be an opportunity to connect consciously with the divine or feel disconnected throughout the glamorized and material focus of season. A willingness to honor the season, your celebrations and your loved ones with integrity to your deepest values and spiritual core will enrich your holiday experience. 

As you move through the next few days, consider the following:

1.  Take time to connect. Before engaging with the demands of your day, take time to breathe deeply into your body, practice mindfulness meditation, guided visualization or journeying to experience a direct connection with spirit.

2.  Proclaim your intention for the day.  State your intention for the day.  Examples are: to be present; to radiate loving kindness; to cultivate compassion; to bring joy and laughter into the world.  Give yourself a way to consistently remind yourself of that intention.  Examples include: to place a coin or crystal in your pocket; set a tone on your iphone; or tie a ribbon around your wrist as ways to remain true to your intention for this day.

3.  Smile freely.  Research shows that facial expressions impact emotions and behavior.  So lift your spirits and those around you through the simple act of smiling.

4.  Stay true to the meaning of the holiday.  Why are you celebrating?  What does this holy day mean to you?  Are your actions reflecting that meaning?  What you eat, drink, say, share and receive can be in direct alignment with the meaning of this holy day(s) or an excuse to abandon that connection.  When your actions and words reflect your deepest values, you will experience spiritual fulfillment throughout the experience.

5. Give more to those in need.  Give your time, energy, smiles, laughter, loving kindness, food, financial support to those in need.  Most of us do not need another toy or trinket.  But we all thrive on compassion, kindness, loving attentiveness; soulful connection.  Seek out those who may be isolated and struggling during the season - in hospitals, homeless shelters, Veterans groups, grief support groups, hospice, animal shelters, senior citizens homes  or within your circle of friends and family - and give your loving support in whatever way spirit moves you to do so.

6.  Write a thank you note. Take a few moments to appreciate all that is present here and now.  And write a note of thanks to the source of what you are experiencing.  Your note can be written the divine; family; friends; loved ones in spirit; yourself; colleagues....you get the idea.

7. Tell people how you truly feel.  One thing I've noticed over the years of speaking with those in spirit is the need to express more love and truth.  Every one in spirit seeks to communicate the love that transcends all physical limits and tell truths that promote healing, connections and living in alignment with the divine. Do not wait or hold back; share your truth and your love openly and honestly. 

8.  Let go.  Learning from those in spirit once again, those who forgive and love freely ascend without issue into the highest realms of divinity.  Those who resent or cling to having things "made right" suffer and struggle in after life.  This is the same experience in the physical world.  If you are hurting - acknowledge the truth of your experience compassionately and move into the willingness to release all resentments.  Let go and let the divine uplift, heal and free you one moment at a time. 

I wish you blessings for a loving holiday created through consciousness.

Send Your Love
Sting's song (similar to William Blake's poem)

Finding the world in the smallness of a grain of sand
And holding infinities in the palm of your hand
And Heaven's realms in the seedlings of this tiny flower
And eternities in the space of a single hour

Send your love into the future
Send your love into the distant dawn
Inside your mind is a relay station
A mission probe into the unknowing
We send a seed to a distant future
Then we can watch the galaxies growing

This ain't no time for doubting your power
This ain't no time for hiding your care
You're climbing down from an ivory tower
You've got a stake in the world we ought to share

You see the stars are moving so slowly
But still the earth is moving so fast
Can't you see the moon is so lonely
She's still trapped in the pain of the past

This is the time of the worlds colliding
This is the time of kingdoms falling
This is the time of the worlds dividing
Time to heed your call

Send your love into the future
Send your precious love into some distant time
And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
Send your love


There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion but sound and dancing
There's no religion but line and color
There's no religion but sacred trance

There's no religion but the endless ocean
There's no religion but the moon and stars
There's no religion but time and motion
There's no religion, just tribal scars

Throw a pebble in and watch the ocean
See the ripples vanish in the distance
It's just the same with all the emotions
It's just the same in every instance

There's no religion but the joys of rhythm
There's no religion but the rites of Spring
There's no religion in the path of hate
No prayer but the one I sing

Send your love into the future

And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
Send your love
Send your love

There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion that's right or winning
There's no religion in the path of hatred
Ain't no prayer but the one I'm singing

Send your love
Send your love
