Prayer is the re-weaving; Prayer is the medium of miracles in that it is the way to get back to my true self in the moment when I am lost in the illusion of separation.

True Power
What is it that you aren’t looking at? What are you pushing down, away from your immediate view? What are you avoiding?
Letting Go of Your Future Plans
I remember a time not too long ago, when at the close of 2014, I had immensely ambitious goals of what I would like to conquer in the next year. At the time it was all about health and fitness. How I could really take my strength, speed, and admittedly vanity to the next level.
Then BAM. Not a few days into January a mundane event caused a sudden panic attack and my world went spiraling.
Small Talk & Magic
Yesterday, I ran into an old acquaintance and as we were catching up over the last 3 years she had casually mentioned getting surgery due to a herniated disk. I then, because I couldn’t help myself, asked, “I hope you don’t mind me asking… but did you learn a lot from that experience?” And out imploded a rush of emotions and vulnerable sharing of what really transpired over the last 3 years.
You Are Your Patterns
We are nothing but patterns
Kind of enlightening and empowering at the same time isn’t it?
When I first heard this yesterday it struck a chord within me. You see, I’ve been delving into the work and research behind the sub/conscious mind and everything is about patterns. If you remember this post, about 95%+ of our thoughts are mere repeats of what we were thinking the day before, and likely the days before that!
Simply acknowledging the fact that our brains are on constant repeat is power enough to know we can change the track.
So how do you change the track?
Cause And Effect
Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect.

Compassion As An Aspect Of Surrender
Many times I have spoken about surrendering all attachment in difficult times. Most recently I mentioned how surrendering allowed me to make healing in leaps and bounds toward complete recovery from adrenal fatigue.
Perhaps it’s the peace that comes with complete surrender that allows for the body and mind to heal. When we give up hope (in a sense) of any outcome or attachment to any ideal (or not) situation, we allow ourselves an opening, a space in which we can feel the immense presence of the moment.
When The World Seems To Crash On You
What do you do? When, at the end of the day, the world just seems to be crashing down on you? Your breathing becomes rigid, perhaps your fingers go numb, and you just want to scream or maybe cry?
Are You Aware Of Confirmation Bias?
Did you know that in every moment you actually have the power within yourself to choose what you want to think about? In previous posts I’ve written a lot about how important it is to, yes, CHOOSE your thoughts.
Did you also know that you and the person next to you, on average, have 50,000 – 70,000 thoughts per day? And furthermore, did you know that 95% (some even say 98%) of those thoughts are the same exact thoughts you had yesterday?!?!?
I don’t know about you but when I first heard this fact it was astounding to me. And when I heard it the second time around it made me stop everything I was doing and truly take it in.
Something changed within me when I decided to pause and truly think about this.
How To Hear Your Inner Voice
“I’ve developed more awareness of myself… I can hear the deeper part of me speaking what’s really true. I hear the truth if I listen closely.”
“That’s wonderful. Where do you feel it coming from?”
“Mostly here.” (Hands motioning pointed toward chest and stomach) “Yea… here.”
