Move through the booby traps

When we set off on a course of internal investigation, we meet many sides of our self we may not expect: defiance, innocence, and isolation. As we navigate our internal seas with grace, we begin to understand that everything we've internalized isn't necessarily true. Our spirit offers an alternative to our mind games.

Down the rabbit hole we go.

The Sweet Spot Within

I've met many capable healers who have no idea how to access their own information. They are highly skilled at listening to guides but cannot hear themselves...yet.

What happens when we go straight to our own source for answers? What is it to move out the middle person?

When we're in our zone of spiritual knowingness, it is blissful.  We know the difference between our voice and others within our space. Our answers flow, the honey pours in. 

Why don't we get there more often?

As a beginner we first have to delicately and powerfully navigate our own healing process: our limits, beliefs, programming. We then learn to discern our voice from others. It can take time to clear the way for our spirit to come home.

And sometimes we delude ourselves as practitioners; we think because we have access to other people's answers, we are somehow above healing our self.  It doesn't work that way. In fact, this is where folks go of course. Healing is for our self.  Healing others is just a natural by product of shining with our light.

So, get your creative energy up and running, clear your day and other people's energies out of your space,  listen within and then ask your soul the questions that are important to you.

I always end my readings with a next step. A next step is a series of ideas that will solidify your ability to heal yourself.

So try this: do what you LOVE. Let your joy be the guide to your truth. When you're doing what you love, you're already in that sweet spot,  so ask for what you want.  Send your wishes out to the universe and let your goals take wing.

This will clear the lines of communication between your conscious self and your soul.  It will also create a natural seniority and ability to recognize your voice and the voices that are not yours.

Bust the great guide caper!  Receiving healing and validation from others is an beautiful way to give to yourself.  Yet try giving your guides and the healers in your life a different role. Empower yourself and let them validate you!

Introducing the Center for Psychic Healing!

BODY ALIVE has changed it's name to the Center for Psychic Healing! And we've changed more than our name. We have a new space too.
 
I did a play at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco in 95. It was a tremendous role with a fabulous playwright.  It was a great opportunity. But at the same time, I was energetically opening up at a speed I could not understand and I got stuck in pain.  
 
I did not know how to ride the wave of what I was experiencing, I only knew how to sit with one emotion at a time. My emotional life took over instead of me riding my emotions like a wave. 
 
Last month, I bought a surf boa
rd. Nope, I don't surf. The board is the
new sign for the Center for Psychic Healing.  It's the perfect image for the ride we take when we decide to open to our spiritual information. 
And at the Center, you learn how to have your growth in a grounded and healing way. Change always happens, so why not change your relationship to it? 
 
What change are you in the midst of? Are you stepping into the unknown and taking the ride? Or are you resisting your own change? When you sense change is coming you can focus on where you are headed and let the release be, releasing. 
 
Validate yourself. Come for a healing, a reading or step into the training.  We love to see people grow into their truth!

Here are some questions for you to take into your day: What are you ready to outgrow? What old intention are you ready to release? Imagine a new form and give it the blessings of Spring.

Sacred Sites and our Sacred Home

Happy 2013.

My family and I are in Santa Fe where the desert is timeless and sacred prayers ooze out of the earth.   There are many sanctuaries to visit in this area. I love spending time at sacred sites.  They remind me to bring the sacred into my daily physical life at home.  

When I traveled to Epidaurus in Greece to visit the ancient theatre there, I had an amazing experience with sacred geometry within the structure of the theatre. I stood on the stage, a dirt area beneath 20,000 seats built over 2000 years ago. I stood on one spot, a cement marker, a foot in diameter and I spoke in a normal voice.  
 
As I spoke,  I could feel the weight of the sound of my voice on my whole body.  I could feel my voice as it bounced back toward me from the seats and the immediacy of my words. And as I moved slowly from this spot the pressure from my voice lessened until I became aware of feeling my voice as I normally did in the world, as if the sound did not travel far, as if I was speaking into emptiness instead of fullness. 
 
Then, when I sat in the audience, as each person took this spot the sound of their voice was propelled throughout the 20,000 seats directly to me. It was as if they were sitting next to me casually speaking. The 500 feet between us became non-existent. And I know as an actor in present time theatres, you have to work hard to find the grace of a big voice that is unstrained.  And builders put a lot of money into creating spaces that do not compare to the natural acoustics at this site. 
 
The seats built into the mountain, the spot to speak from, the trees surrounding it all, they each supported the intention of the place. At Epidaurus, I was reminded how we can work with a place instead of against it.

So,
do your physical surroundings support your voice and your intention?  What if this is the year you notice these questions:  Where is the experience of your essential self supported by your physical world?  What is sacred about your home or the land you live on?

Here is a simple video of a walk I did through the outdoor sanctuary at Lourdes, a sacred healing site for Mother Mary in France. This place on earth holds a different kind of felt power. A calling to come from your heart.

In 2013, may you bring your voice, heart and physical surroundings into union.
