In a material world, why does it feel so right when someone says “everything is energy?”

Perhaps it’s because, deep down, we know that it’s true.

I’ve always been a very multi-faceted person—since before I was even born! My parents came from different continents and the imprints of my ancestors are seamlessly woven together within me.

Today I got locked out of my apartment.

Years ago, this would have been a prime opportunity for me to berate myself for forgetting my keys and be overall angry at myself and the world for conspiring to keep me out of my home.

What would you do for love? How would you measure love? What is love?

Last winter I co-facilitated a workshop with my dear friend, Rianne Vestuto, and during our preparations she said something really profound that stuck with me. She said, “It’s so vulnerable to lead.”

Happy 13th day of March! I’ve been seeing the number 13 a lot today, which is a number associated with the divine feminine. One of the most profound keys to healing is to simply re-connect to the divine feminine within.

My first memory of moving energy was as a kid—directing pain from my body outward onto my bed. I saw my discomfort as tiny particles of lights and I was pleasantly surprised to feel relief.

We are all energetically sensitive beings. But most of us have subconsciously learned to dull our sensitivity in order to cope with a world that feels overwhelmingly harsh.

In many ways, I’ve considered myself a bit of a lone wolf—an outsider. But haven’t you felt that way, too?

With the turn of the calendar year, we may be tempted by the idea of sudden transformation. While that is absolutely possible, more often than not, profound change happens over time, and with consistency and frequency.

We are nature. And the autumn season reminds us that we, too, need to periodically shed things that we’ve outgrown. Be it a job, a living space, a habit, or a relationship…

Have you ever received a message at the exact right time? Maybe you got a text from a friend just as you were thinking about them? Or heard a line in a song that spoke to your soul just when you needed to hear it?

Have you ever felt an instant connection to a word? As a spiritual being and a lover of language, I find words and names highly intriguing. The first time I heard the phrase “Akashic Records” I felt an immediate shift in my awareness and a sense of reconnection, which drove me to learn more about this practice on my own and under the guidance of wise teachers.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that some of the most powerful healers I know have had very complicated maternal relationships.

Full moons are an optimal time to release what no longer serves you. Today’s full moon + partial lunar eclipse in the mystical and creative water sign of Scorpio brings us a beautiful opportunity to let go of those aspects of the ego that try to keep you stuck in the illusion of “safety.”

Part of the gift of working in the healing arts, is the opportunity to gain a broader perspective on this journey we call life. And I’ve seen so much unnecessary suffering resulting from feelings of not belonging or not conforming to some generally accepted category of x, y, or z.

Reiki is a gentle healing technique that helps you to bring your mind, body, spirit, and emotions back into balance. It’s sometimes described as an “energetic massage”—the difference is that you’re fully clothed and, instead of physical manipulation, the focus is on the flow of energy throughout your body.
