I am very attracted to Shamanic means of connecting with nature. When we connect with a plant, animal, stone, landscape, etc. in a shamanic way, I believe there is a mutual exchange of healing and sharing of wisdom. Today, as I have been contemplating both who I want to be in this newest of years and what I want out of life from this moment forward, the image and wisdom of Redwood presented itself to me. Totems need not only come in the form of animals. There are totem plants as well.... Continue reading ...

In some ways it would be easier if I did not recognize that my thoughts
create my reality. Because then I could continue to live from a victim
mentality, from a blame-someone-else mentality, and not have to own up
to the world that I have created for myself. I could say, "these are the
horrible circumstances that have been laid upon my head, and woe to me,
there is nothing I can do about them."
But the more I awaken, the more I am aware that I do have to own my
perceptions ... Continue reading ...

I set my orange flowers in a boat and send them off to heaven. I feel heaven raining down in drops of orange-scented love. --Gabby Turner
This song is meant to be sung with the first line repeating 8 times, followed by 8 repetitions of the second line. That form is inspired by the singing I've been doing at the Kirtan and Meditation I go to twice a month. Devotional singing/chanting does not need variety, so much as devotion! The meaning is not lost through repetition, it is transcended, so that... Continue reading ...

Last night I dreamt that I was on some school campus, and was a part of some larger campus community. There was a girl who had just committed suicide, and perhaps I was nearby when it happened and I was hit with a stray piece of bullet, but I had a chest wound in this dream. I don't remember actually seeing the suicide though, so maybe it was just the general irrational work of dreaming that caused me to have this bleeding wound in my upper chest. I kept walking around, holding my shir... Continue reading ...

I've been experiencing an opening up of my foot chakra lately, and if you experience tingling/heat/sparking sensations in your own feet, you may be doing the same! Until recently, I was barely aware that I even had a thing called a foot chakra. This changed a little over two months ago when I took my first Shamballa Multidimensional Healing class. Shamballa is a form of energy healing that is similar in some ways to traditional Usui Reiki and that shares some of the same principles and to... Continue reading ...

I'm not above using sensationalism to get people to read my blog entries. :) I say PG because this account is far from pornographic, though I do use the word "orgasm" many times, so if that bothers you you may not want to read further. :) In late 2006 I entered a deep depression that changed my life in many ways, one of which was that it dampened my orgasms so that I was not able to experience the catharsis that I had used to feel with them. It was a depression that I feel lik... Continue reading ...
So last night I watched The Secret. I do believe the basic premise of
the Law of Attraction makes sense... and I have seen prayer work in the
same basic way (you are grateful for what you have, you ask for what
you'd like and have faith that it will come to you in the universe's own
way, and if it is the best for you). What I don't understand about the
Law of Attraction is that it doesn't really matter whether or not what
you are manifesting is good for you or not: you'll get it... Continue reading ...

Want to Be
A snake doesn't worry that it used to have that skin it shed. I want to open... like a thousand-petaled lotus in the sun. I want to live... and let the past roll out behind me. I want to give... all of myself to the dark edges of eternity.
I write little song snippets every now and then (sometimes they graduate into full songs, usually not) and then I enjoy singing them poorly. ;) Continue reading ...

Many spiritual teachers or healers, even now myself, offer their services to corporations. I, for instance, have just begun offering Reiki Group Healing services to organizations--which theoretically could include corporations. A fairly successful medium whose Intuition Development Circle I attend on Tuesday nights recently told our circle that when he began his Spiritual/Mediumship business he did so with the intention of "making corporations more spiritual." I wonder, though, when peopl... Continue reading ...

Despite the amazing capabilities of our minds, we humans seem to have an impressive urge to be blind to anything that is overly difficult or incomprehensible. We relegate these things to our subconscious—the attics of our minds. In the past year, our global community has been immensely impacted by disaster to an extent that we had yet to experience, but even the BP Oil Disaster and a nuclear meltdown in Japan can’t seem to hold our attentions. We are continually in a proce... Continue reading ...

Monday morning I woke from a long series of interconnected dreams. In one of them I was in an upscale, crimson-upholstered auditorium of some kind. Various real and imagined people from my life and past were there among the rows of chairs as very large coins floated down toward us from the ceiling, rotating slowly as they came. I was very involved with collecting my own stack of coins, mostly noticing the others from my visual periphery where I saw them also eagerly holding up their arms ... Continue reading ...

I'm certainly not trying to pass myself off as either an herbalist or a nutritionist here, but I do know that herbs are immensely nutritious and healthy. Pesto is a great way to prepare herbs, and the traditional sauce is made with basil, but basil is difficult to find in bulk and is also a little pricey. Last year I attempted growing some but the plants barely got off the ground. It's a tricky plant to grow, except for my next-door-neighbor, who won't share with me even though his plants...

My best friend and I make homemade cleaner with white vinegar and essential oils, and I'm sharing the (very easy!) process of making this cleaner with you because it's a.) environmentally friendly b.) animal and people-friendly (aka, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and not a breathing hazard) c.) it cleans my kitchen counters better than ANY commercial chemical cleaner EVER has d.) it's cheap to make and e.) it has the added holistic-healing benefit of aromatherapy! Read on for the easy "rec... Continue reading ...

Lately I have been actively trying to draw-forth and utilize prana energy, which is available in never-ending quantities but which many if not most of us fail to fully vitalize ourselves with. Prana is the life-force energy that makes living more present and joyful. The following painting (by Scott Edward Harrington from the Google Creative Commons) is an excellent image of what living fully engaged with prana energy can be like.
I was listening to Neil Young's Heart of Gold tonight as... Continue reading ...

Same as my other Intuitive Tarot Readings, but the reading will be sent to you via e-mail. This is a lower-cost option. I have many return clients who prefer to have their readings done via e-mail. Readings are thorough and I allow free follow-up if you have questions/concerns about the information I have sent. Pay here, then submit the ORDER FORM with your question.
Charts of New & Full Moons
I've compiled a
collection of charts cast for the moment of each New Moon and Full
Moon. These charts are cast for EST. You can examine the
planetary/luminary placements at the time of each New Moon or Full Moon
to better understand the implications of that moon cycle. Note where
the Sun and Moon fall in aspect to your natal chart. Is there a New
Moon in tight conjunction to your natal Sun, Moon, or personal planet? If so, expect this lunation cycle
to be particularly relevant for you! :) Includes eclipse dates and Dakota Sioux Full Moon Names.
