Grounding as an ecological practice

You’ve probably heard of energetic grounding before, but if you haven’t, my simplest personal definition is to be dynamically plugged into the energy of planet Earth. This includes a two way-exchange. In one direction, Earth energy flows up through our field, freely, in a nourishing way.  In the other direction, we’re able to let go of energies that no longer serve us, or we can’t metabolize, down into the Earth for recycling. Think of this as the energetic equivalent of our digestion cycle!  While we’re in a…

Synchronicity is a Kaleidoscope of Phenomena

Rather than having a unified theory about what synchronistic events are at their root, I see them as a patchwork quilt of shiver-inducing events that connect our inner and outer worlds:  Some are " signs from the Universe”, meaning an impersonal Intelligence we don’t need to pinpoint too closely.  Or they can be signs from deceased loved ones, from Spirit Guides, or moments of personal coherence with Self and Life that mirror that felt experience of being “in the flow”. Other times they're flashes of precognition…

Walking Away From The Wasteland (Dream Fable)

In my dream, I've just turned away from a group of people getting ready to enter a deadly toxic wasteland at the edge of a city. Peer pressure took me with them; all my stuff, my shoes, my wallet, my phone are all still with them. Suddenly realizing I had no good reason to follow them into the wasteland made me turn back into the city.  It's the small hours of the morning and I don't know this part of town. I'm gearing up for a…

We Should Know What We’ve Carried Forward From Past Lives

Seeing my soul as being on one of a series of incarnations massively changed how I approach growth and healing. It's given me a visceral sense of our greater Self journeying through time, and the overpowering Love that drives us to come back over and over again. I grew up in a household that believed in reincarnation, but I only grasped the implications for crafting a map for this life around it in the last decade or so.  (BTW, this is something where I fully live as if…

Neurodivergence Overlaps with Psychic Ability and Mystical Experience

From my own line of work, and years of serving the neurodivergent community, there’s a humongous (!!!) overlap between a diagnosis of neurodivergence (whether formal or self-determined) and fluidity in our access to extrasensory perception and altered states of consciousness.  Many of us feel as though the psychic realm is “right there”, integrated with everyday awareness, or barely under the surface of it.  It’s a baked-in part of our perception of the world. It doesn’t feel spectacular in the slightest.  When we don’t know the difference, or while…

The Slow Rhythm of True Transformation

One of the biggest obstacles I see to real, lasting, personal, relational and spiritual growth is urgency. The self-development industry has sold us countless hyped tales of the heroic push into the person we want to become. I have nothing against aiming toward that becoming — quite the opposite. But the narrative is that full investment in a linear method, protocol, prescription, will get us from A to B, guaranteed.  But meanwhile… All of us have important parts of us that we’ve needed to edit, cut off…

The Twins of Creativity and ESP

Artmaking and extrasensory perception are coming at the same territory from different sides.  The parallel extends to the identity label too: calling ourselves “artist” and calling ourselves “psychic” can be CHARGED!  Both are natural human activities that bridge us to the Unseen.

For those of us who struggle to take up space…

From a certain soul-level lens, we can never not occupy all of the energetic space allotted to us.  It’s pointless to try, so you’d better learn to own all of who and what you are.  I know that those of us who carry this pattern learned it in order to preserve a fragile, conditional, erratic sense of safety. Kindness for that. And/but hear me out:  Picture your aura as a house that you live in.  Now say there’s something you’ve decided or learned is undesirable about one or two…

Shock-absorbers: are you in an environment where cruelty thrives?

One of the top 5 issues I see in my client sessions: conscientious individuals (typically neurodivergent) in environments where cruelty is inflicted, whether casually or on purpose, who try to shock-absorb its effects rather than addressing the issue directly.

Beyond Divided Consciousness

I love blackout poetry (both making it and reading other people’s)! This one lives on my fridge:  You are not simply a Brain You were born with consciousness A way out of the division Have you ever made any of these poems or have a favorite?
