Using your Authority to Set Your Goals
ALIGNING GOALS WITH YOUR AUTHORITY ENGAGES THE LUCK OF THE UNIVERSE January is a time of new beginnings, and many of us are in contemplation about how to shape the year ahead. But the statistics on how successful people are at keeping their “resolutions” are grim. We set out with great intentions and even think we are committed to “do what it takes” to accomplish our plans, but more often than not we don’t succeed. I believe this is because we set goals or intentions based on what we THINK we want to accomplish (or what someone else says we should do), never checking with our built-in Authority to see if it…

The Darkening of the Light
On October 1st the planet Neptune entered Gate/Gene Key* 36, and will stay there until February 10th. For all of us Neptune is activating this frequency in our DNA, whether you have it in your design or not. Over the next three plus months, it will push us into emotional, mental or even physical turbulence to give us the opportunity to transcend our suffering and fear of an uncertain future—our fear that at any moment disaster could strike. Gate/Gene Key 36 is located in the Emotion Center, so its quality is always related to emotions. During this time of inner turbulence and outer instability, understanding how to navigate Neptune’s influence can…

Winter – A time for reflection and visioning
December marks the beginning of the winter season. The light wanes here in the Northern Hemisphere, and cooler temperatures dominate the day. It is a time of deep silence and retreat, when Nature stops, rests and gathers strength and wisdom for the coming burst of new life in the spring. In the silence of winter, is the opportunity to discover your own essence, deep in your heart. Many years ago in my spiritual guidance training, we learned that our soul lives in our deep heart—the area of our heart that is beyond our ego and everyday experience. It is the deep heart, where our soul lives, that whispers to us guidance on…

The Wall
The fear gripped me; I could barely breathe. As I looked up at my white-knuckled hand frantically grasping the fraying root, I searched with hawk-like intensity the cliff wall for another handhold. A part of me knew that at any minute the root would snap, and I would plummet into the black yawning abyss below. Tears streamed down my face as I sobbed and gasped for air through my constricted throat. My chest felt as if 200 pounds were pressing down on it. I was sure that at any moment the end would come. With my free hand I probed the cliff wall, desperately seeking any possible other handhold. There…

I Know I’m Meant for Something Greater
We are born with a profound purpose, but most of us lose connection with the truth of who we are not long after we are born. The challenges of parents and caregivers and society, even with the best of intentions, directing and reinforcing us to conform to some notion of who they think we are or want us to be creates a split in our psyche, typically in the first few years of our lives. Then we spend the rest of our lives trying to unravel the acceptable persona that we have created to “fit in.” That’s not what we were meant for. We are meant to be a unique…

Winter Is a Time to Go Inward
December marks the beginning of winter. The light wanes here in the Northern Hemisphere, and cooler temperatures dominate the day.
