Animal Totems - Feather Energy

For the past two weeks or so, while out for my walk, bird feathers have unexpectedly shown up along the way. Mostly crow feathers, but over the weekend, while walking along the beach, I found two pelican feathers, beautiful plumes 14 inches long!
Whenever certain patterns repeat themselves to me that are somewhat out of the [...]

War! What is it Good For? - Absolutely Nothing!

Isn’t it time for another ’60s-like Peace and Love movement? I’m reminded of the popular song from 1970: Edwin Starr’s “War,” that helped galvanize a nation reeling from the Vietnam War:
“War, what is it good for–absolutely nothing!”

Manifesting Abundance through the Magnet of the Heart

In this post, Higher Self speaks of holding to the path we were “born to travel,” and to release blind attachments to the beliefs we have regarding what we think is required for survival on this planet. Higher Self also speaks about manifesting abundance through the magnet of the heart, through the simple awareness of [...]

Manifesting Abundance - Intention or Volition?

Dear Higher Self, what does it take to manifest the dreams that I have for this life? My intention is to continue creating (art, music, writing), connecting with the inner Source, going deeper and deeper into the mysteries of sound and sound healing…I want to attract on a higher level.
Intention is a start, but it [...]

Conscious Dreams - Lucid Dreaming for Creativity

This is a simple lesson on Conscious Dreaming, or what is oftentimes known as Lucid Dreaming. I have found it helpful to keep the eyes half open while falling asleep. Just before the mind and body drift completely into sleep, slightly open the eyes while remaining perfectly still. The eyes then become like a thermostat [...]
