So, Who do You Believe?
As I alluded to in the last post, I had a health emergency. I want to share a bit more about the path I'm on. Well, I am recovering quite swimmingly. Made some changes in diet, sleep, and exercise. I am not out of the woods, but I see the light beyond the dense forest I was trying to navigate through a few weeks ago. When I started a similar journey forty-something years ago, with my Crohn’s Colitis, it was a much different time. Research was not punching a few keys and prest

The Music is Over…
Turn out the lights… A couple of weeks ago, as I was sitting in the emergency room getting a diagnosis that was surprising and terrifying at the same time. I thought to myself, I have tried to do everything right. I work out, my diet is not all that bad, damn, even my numbers were not bad, I am not that old. As the evidence built up, doctor after doctor marched in, telling me, "This is the issue; this is what we are going to put you on; this is what we are going to do; and th

What is Beyond?
A lot is going on in the world. This constant bombardment of information that we must sort through to find the truth, but to find our truth. Yes, our truth. I have noticed that whatever I read, watch, or listen to has to go through my own filter, handed down to me through my family, culture, society, politics, and religious beliefs. So, there is no truth, or it's all truth, depending on the filter that it's passing through. I've been watching this person for a few years now.

Spiritual Gravy
In the many years that I been practicing meditation, hands-on healing, and general practices like Chi Gung or Tai Chi, you start to notice your personal energy field. This energy field can expand and contract depending on our perception of the world. I want to find the right words here. We choose to accept a culture of high stress, technology, and instant gratification. We work long hours, and we use illness and misery as badges of honor. We live in an age of social media a

How Does One Use Faith and or Intention
I think everyone has faith. However, what I was told about faith was that it was a matter of faith alone, without guidance on how to use it, best practices, or guidelines for creating the most positive outcome, and without knowing how to use this unbelievable creative power we have. I asked a simple question of my computer: Can I substitute the word "faith" with the word "intention"? The answer was yes. I believe these two words, faith and Intention, are tools we need to unde

Small Tidbit on my Personal Healing Path.
I'll share small stories from my personal journey with using and understanding energy work and healing. I have been doing some energy-based work for nearly 40 years now. My first couple of years were spent trying to understand it, get past my misconceptions like religious beliefs, cultural beliefs, societal beliefs, and any other belief or judgment that shut off this natural connection to myself. These negative beliefs ran rampant as I tried to cultivate and use the power of

What Is Faith?
I had an interesting question posed to me a day ago. They ask what is faith? It’s a simple enough question, but sharing my personal story of faith aims to inspire reflection and openness in others. As I lay there, pretending to sleep, I began to go back through my own life. I can only speak for myself, and to share my story of faith, I'm going to tell you about my life. My early years, up until my late teens, were filled with religion, prayer, and church. It was a forced foll
