July is a month of intense emotion. Some of you have been thinking that June was intense enough, but June was more about action and connection — whereas July is all about feeling. It may feel chaotic to some of you, especially those who are not used to accessing the deeper layers of your emotions. This is what is bubbling up. Those of you who are more used to operating from your emotions will likely feel a very pleasant month as it finally seems as if the rest of the world is more in step w... Read Full Story

It all started in New Zealand. Matthew and I spent nearly a month there this winter, and when we landed, groggy from 18 hours of flying, one of the first things that greeted us in the airport in Auckland was a rack of brochures extolling the virtues of all the exciting things to do in New Zealand. Kiwis are known for their active, open and friendly natures, and touristy activities reflect that: Whitewater Rafting! Cycling Treks! Skydiving! "Matthew," I said as I suddenly knew the Next Big Thi... Read Full Story

[This is from a session specifically asking about the concept of shame, channeled May 2009.] It's always a pleasure to speak to you, regardless of the circumstance that any of you find yourself in: the emotional circumstance, the physical circumstance, etc.  It's much the same for us regardless of these circumstances, although we do notice changes within you with love. The interest this evening is in having us speak to you about the issue of shame.  We will therefore first give our perspect... Read Full Story

June, as many of you have been feeling, is going to be quite an exciting month. There is a lot going on for you - and this will surface in a tangible way. Not coincidentally, there will be a number of energetic disruptions on the surface of the Earth that will likely manifest in additional earthquakes along the Asian corridor (think "Ring of Fire," also Portugal and South America while you're at it), potentially a large tsunami in the area as a result, some volcanic activity (He...

I have a confession to make. Until recently, I wasn't really one for frequent consultation with my guides. Oh sure, when I needed something, I knew how to ask.  But something held me back.  I thought I should be doing this stuff on my own, and that asking was a sign of weakness somehow. I even — dare I mention this? — ignored advice from my guides.  Not just once or twice, but A LOT. I think we all do. On the Earth plane, in bodies, there's the perception that we're separate.  We ... Read Full Story

[Channeled May, 2009] What is energy work? A more basic question, perhaps, would be the exploration of what is energy. Energy is the term that has come to be used to explain or to connote the basic life force that exists in and all around you. Its very intangibility to those who exist solely, in their perception, on the Earth-plane gives it an ethereal quality that makes it seem difficult to understand. Often people say they cannot feel energy. What they really mean is: they do not know w... Read Full Story

This is day 5 of my fast for Darfur. It all came about last week when I read about Mia Farrow's fast on Causecast (where I'm a contributing writer). I couldn't let go of the idea, and I kept getting messages that fasting was going to benefit me, so last Saturday I began, still not quite knowing where it was going, yet letting my inner guidance help me to where I needed to be. It's been an amazing journey. Every day I've been walking in the forest near my home, spending tha... Read Full Story

Note that in this channeling the term "essence" is synonymous with the idea of "Higher Self".  It is you - far more of you that you are aware off.  You can read more of what essence is in this article and in the poem from essence at http://www.polarisrising.com/i-am-your-essence.html This was adapted from a personal session, shared with permission.   Introduction At any time in your life, your essence is making many choices you are unaware of.  Many times these choices ...

About three years ago I had a crushing realization. Up to that point, I had been harboring the expectation that someday this would all get easier — that I'd wake up one morning and feel complete and that whatever lifelong issues I had been carrying with me would be dealt with, laid to rest, at peace. I'd be done. Ha. (I think sometimes the universe laughs at us.) It was a huge blow. At first I was totally crushed, and THEN I got angry. How DARE I sign up for this stupid painful life a...

The energy of May is starting out quite differently from that of the month previous. Whereas in April you were mostly concerned with your individual processes, now after only a month you have moved a distance into the awareness of one another as a global community. This is but a single step along a long path toward true awareness of your connection to one another, but it is a step nevertheless. While many of you are feeling energized by this new sense of belonging and connected community, m... Read Full Story
