It is one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever heard. American neuroscientist David Eagleman says humans typically perceive less than one ten trillionth of what is going on around us. In other words, we are stumbling through life largely unaware of what is happening right next to us. There could be other life forms,…

Yoga
Laura loves yoga. Or rather Laura loves coming to tickle me during yoga class. Yesterday I found myself giggling out loud after Laura wrapped herself around me as I was getting ready to do ‘boat pose’. It was a bit like that scene in the movie Ghost where Patrick Swayze’s ‘departed’ character comes up behind…
Getting Higher..
Sometimes writing down a painful emotion helps release it. After I posted ‘River of Tears’ on Monday, it was as if I had stuck a pin in a balloon or lanced a boil. The negativity and pain drained away. What I’ve also noticed is that once I start to kindle a little joy, it doesn’t…
Dream Time
Every morning I wash up on the shore of my pillows in a different state. The night has taken me on a long and often extraordinary adventure, and sometimes I wake feeling exhausted as if I have bobbed all night in a sea of tangle that threatens to drown me; other times I travel to fictional towns with…
Little Presents
I was standing in line for the bathroom at Starbucks last Saturday, when the young woman behind me bent over and picked up a dime. Without thinking I said: ‘It’s your lucky day! Do you find many coins?’ She beamed back a lovely smile and said: ‘Ever since my mom passed, I find these dimes everywhere.’ Her…
Talking To Spirit
Today I heard Esther Hicks (or rather the spiritual entities that Esther channels) explaining how to talk to departed loved ones, and revel in their unconditional love. Esther lost her husband Jerry a few years ago. But he is still a very playful presence in her life. I was so delighted when I heard this…
Premonitions
I’ve been thinking a lot about premonitions recently. I don’t claim any understanding of how we can know things in advance. But it is more and more obvious to me that we do. And that we should listen. Of course, that’s easier said than done. Last week my sister and I both received ‘intelligence’ of…
A Home for the Soul
A lot of spiritual teaching demonizes attachment and encourages us to let go and walk a Buddha-like or Christ-like path. It is almost as if we are being instructed to float above the ground detached from our possessions and worldly attachments. But the wonderful Thomas Moore speaks so eloquently of our soul longings. To him,…
Connecting with the Departed
Here’s Abraham Hicks explaining what it feels like to connect to a departed loved one’s spirit. Note – you usually you need to meditate first and be in a positive frame of mind (not depressed or grieving): ‘It will seem odd at first. You will think you are making it up. But you won’t be….
On Faith
There is a subtle kind of faith, which is like connective tissue, which under-pins my life and spreads a growing sense of ease and harmony through my days. It is a simple belief that even though I can’t see it immediately, things are always working out for the best. It is a form of relaxing…
Our Purpose?
‘You are an extension of source energy. You are eternal beings that have come forth from broader non-physical consciousness to experience life, deliberately creating on this leading edge.’ – Abraham Hicks
Laura Speaks
If you regularly read this blog, you’ll know I sometimes ask Laura: ‘Send me something lovely!’ And invariably something fun happens. Today I was walking home from the subway and asked Laura to surprise me. I started singing ‘Pennies From Heaven’ in hopes of finding lots of pennies. I guess I was trying to force…
Only Love Remains
We all return to love at the end. A hospice volunteer told me recently that every patient, no matter how angry, dissolves into love in the days or weeks before they pass. Watching the haunting but beautiful movie ‘Still Alice’ and listening to Krista Tippett discussing Alzheimer’s with psychologist Alan Dienstag, I wonder if alzheimers…
Uniquely You
“Because there is only one of you in all of time, [your] expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good [your expression] is, nor how valuable, nor how…
