Whenever someone cuts us off while we’re driving, some of us wish that person gets what’s coming to them with Karma kicking their butt. Some people don’t believe in Karma. I do. I’ve seen too many things happen to people who have done bad things to others to doubt that she exists. Sometimes she takes her time teaching a lesson, but when it happens, it’s … Continue reading Karmic Debt – What Do I Owe?
Many people are lonely, and the reasons for that are numerous. We often forget that, in spiritual terms, we are never alone. Our ancestors are always with us. We can call on them to help guide us when we need it. Some people cringe when I say that, thinking the last thing they want is for their parents or grandparents to continue being with them. … Continue reading Calling In Your Ancestors
We live in a noisy world, constantly bombarded with sights and sounds of whatever others want us to believe are images of what we should want or need. We also contend with our insecurities that tell us we need to be something other than what we are. There is always a sense of constantly striving for something. We think we lack something and are on … Continue reading The Blessing of Silence
We all have moments when it feels like we’re taking two steps forward and one step back. It’s a natural state of ebb and flow. For the most part, though, we should always feel like we are making progress. When we think we’re standing still despite all our efforts, we might have to recognize that we have hit a spiritual brick wall. Athletes sometimes hit … Continue reading Hitting the Spiritual Brick Wall
It seems shadow work is coming up in my life again. There were some issues the last time I did it. It was last year, and I thought I was good for a while, but the universe has a way of letting you know when it’s time to start working on something again. There are no coincidences. Divine timing, it’s called. Which is different from … Continue reading Shadow Work – Light or Darkness
Humanity has a tendency to think in very concrete terms. Something is either this or that. It seems true, but nothing is really that way. It always depends on your perceptions and what you believe. I’m not going to get political or moral here. Those are tangled webs that have caught more than one person who thought they were the spider when they were actually … Continue reading Greater than or less than
We often forget that things don’t usually happen overnight. They can, of course. In metaphysics, we definitely believe in miracles, but most of the time, practicing the skills is the way forward. My brain jumped to the phrase, practice makes perfect, which is not what we want. In metaphysics, there is always continued growth, it’s not about perfection, but perseverance. The fastest way to ramp … Continue reading Stepping Up Your Abilities
One of the most important things to think about in metaphysics is your ego. It is capable of sabotaging your best efforts to do anything. That doesn’t mean to say that the Id or the subconscious part of you can’t do the same thing. It can ruin your plans like a prize fighter with a champion right hook. The ego is a close second to … Continue reading The Ego Check
There will always be situations that confuse us. Why do people act the way they do or say what they say? We feel the energy of chaos and wonder what if anything can we do about it? On the surface, nothing. There is nothing you can physically do about most of it. What you can do is work on yourself and the collective energy we … Continue reading Bringing Clarity To Chaos
A recent client of mine asked a good question, “What language should I use to do my spiritual work?” Her first language is Spanish, and everything she is learning is in English. She wondered if things could still work for her even when her spoken English wasn’t perfect. There are shamans all over the world, many of whom don’t speak a word of English. I’m … Continue reading The Language of Spirituality
