The Crash

In a year of extraordinary revelations and discoveries, the biggest awakening came with a bang just before Xmas.  After doing the life between lives regression (see The Dance of Spirit),  I felt as if I was on heroin.  I floated through the world deliriously happy and filled with love. Then two days later, I crashed back…

Creation (the quantum view)

I always thought you needed a time machine to travel back in time.  But with hypnotherapy you can jump into the past and up to heaven without leaving your armchair. It sounds crazy when you read it like that. But really is it any odder than quantum physics?  Cutting edge physicists believe that nothing in…

Pennies From Heaven

Yesterday a friend warned that I might be holding Laura’s spirit back; keeping her from important spiritual work by talking to her and enjoying her spiritual presence. It is an opinion I’ve heard before. A year ago I might have agreed. For a while I thought her spirit could only be in one place at…

Anais Nin

‘As my desire to bloom arrived, I flourished.  No longer fearing the journey it takes to truly open and unfold.  Deeply I breathe in as my breath is taken away. I found my voice, yet even as it lay dormant in the quiet. As I stumbled in the sometimes darkness and fell.  Standing back up…

Surprised by Joy

This morning, as I walked to Carl Schurz park, I asked Laura if she would send me something uplifting to do with dogs.  Ever since I did the life between lives regression I’ve been practicing manifesting joy (this is the most important thing I learned). No sooner had I stepped into the park than a…

The Dance of Spirit

I think I just visited heaven. After a year of extraordinary other worldly adventures, it is still a shock to hear myself say that. I am a journalist, who prides herself on her investigative chops and my ability to sniff out the insincere, the fraudulent, the hidden in whatever is being presented. I am no…

Past Lives

On Friday I did a past life regression. I was curious if I would meet Laura again in a previous life. Beforehand my mind was full of Hollywood scenarios – what if we were Navajo Indians roaming the South West (as I die from a poisoned arrow, Laura comforts me in her arms); or concubines…

Life After Life

Until this trip nearly all the spiritual stories I’d heard were told by women. Maybe it was sitting on a male energy vortex that changed things. Greg, a gay man and former catholic priest visiting the Christ in the Desert Monastery, laughed when I said I was a little spooked at first  experiencing Laura’s spiritual…

The Light Within

To steer by the light of the heart is the only choice for me now.  It is both exhilarating and terrifying.  To let go of thinking my way forward and instead find the path by what feels right, what resonates within. It is what got me here to Sedona.  It is the motor that drives…

Noticing

Is the essence of a joyful  life what you notice?  Not so long ago, I would notice what was wrong.  It came from a place of wanting to help and looking for problems to solve.  I grew up in a kindly family where love was often equated with helping and fixing things.  My parents were…

Awakening

Yesterday I went to the ‘Healing Our Grief’ workshop at the Open Center. It was a beautiful sharing experience hosted by Sue Frederick author of Bridges to Heaven. Sue’s husband died age 37 from cancer and her best friend died the same year. These two tragedies transformed her life, reawakened her intuition and her spiritual…

Rumi – The Kiss of Spirit

My iTunes just played Laura’s last phone message : ‘Sweetie, come on back. I miss you wherever you are.’ Then I heard this beautiful Rumi poem for the first time –  There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its…

Cosmic Joke?

OK so this is getting a little ridiculous.  A small fly seems to have fallen in love with me.  It has been following me around for a little over a week.  It sits on my pillow at night, settles by my desk during the day and flutters about the kitchen while I cook.  It shows…

Butterfly Tickles

Laura has been very busy this week from what I can tell. In case you missed the post in comments, Laura popped up in a dream and tickled our good friend Toni and her partner Jill until Toni was speechless and wriggling on the floor feeling, ‘bathed in a million lights and laughing gas’.  Laura…

Finding The Path

‘You are at my side, dear friends, and God is everywhere.  Yet ultimately we are alone, making our way home by the candle of the heart.  The light is steady and sure but extends only far enough to see the next step.  That there are steps beyond is a matter of faith. That we have…
