Yoga teachers instruct you to go back to child’s pose at any moment when you are overwhelmed by the practice. Today my spirit guides used this as a metaphor to help me understand the importance of going back to a calm and serene mind when equally overwhelmed by a situation. “The 2 of Swords is your child’s pose,” they said.

 from the Spiral Tarot 

Conflict with someone? Getting into a perfectionist mindset? Just go back to the calm and empty mental space represented by the 2 of S...

Would you want to eat a turkey that had been cooking for two minutes? I wouldn’t. Divine Timing is difficult for most people. Nobody wants to wait for the blessing. However, if the conditions are not right for your manifestation to come true, then they just aren’t right yet. If you are a surfer, you cannot force the ocean to bring you the next wave. If you are a farmer, you cannot force the harvest to come in February. 

Everything in nature has its timing. And with Divine Timing, we don�...

              There is knowledge and there is information. Knowledge can become wisdom when it has been applied effectively. Information is helpful, but it cannot transcend itself and become anything more than information.

              I cannot remember where I first came across this knowledge that when it comes to relationships, we maintain harmony and balance when we try to ensure a ratio of at least 5 “good” moments with a person for every 1 “bad” moment with this p...

This, self-love, has been one of my own greatest lessons. I have spent a lifetime questioning my own worthiness and my own goodness. I have been, as many of you may relate to, a compulsive giver. Giving my time, energy, love, and resources to others in a compulsive bid to find validation. Is that true giving? Selfless on the one hand, self-seeking on the other.

One of the greatest acts of service one can engage in is self-love. Unlike compulsive over-giving, which inevitably leads to depleti...

They heave me into the boat,
my shell and legs encumbered
with barnacles.

I hear the scraping of their knives,
their eager voices, the sound of
writhing disease hitting the floor.

I have been sick with attachments.
My saviors delight in freeing me
as equally as they will delight
in their after-beer of celebration.

I am relieved to lose these barnacles,
but there is a disease that feels
much deeper—

there is a disease that will slip back
into the cool water with me
when they let me go.

     I wanted to talk a bit about fear and anxiety, emotions that often lead us to seeking guidance from psychic readings. The function of fear is a biological, evolutionary one, and it does come in handy in certain circumstances. Imagine you are out in the woods and come across a bear--VERY SCARY!--right? Well, the fear that you feel in that moment serves only one purpose: to bring your awareness to something that you need to address. The most helpful thing you can then do is to switch out o...

                I love working with animal spirit guides. The first time I recall animals trying to deliver a message to me I was 18 and my Papaw (aka grandfather) was going back and forth between nursing homes and hospital stays. He was 83 years old, had dementia, and his body was failing him. As I was driving down the road one day, I passed five different animals, all of which were black in color. I cannot recall now, at almost 40 years old, specifically which animals. Most likely a cow, ...

Are your emotions wrong? Is a volcano wrong?
Is a tornado wrong?
Is it wrong for the rain to linger in a soft mist?
Could the sunshine be too bright?
 
Would you say to the sunshine, put yourself away, hide yourself away?
Would you say to the volcano, hold it in?

There is no such thing as an incorrect emotion.
