 The world has changed dramatically since my childhood. I remember a time before computers, when summer days were spent climbing trees, eating wild berries I found on walks in the forest, riding my bike for hours from our country home to the nearest corner store to buy a comic book, and occasionally watching TV.
Knowledge came from the large library at home, from the stacks of books I borrowed from the public library, and from conversation and meditation.
If I had any notoriety, it happened through accomplishments at school, or badges earned through a club I attended. |

 In my yoga classes, I talk a lot about the need for people to come to their senses, and I teach meditation from that point of view. Tuning into our body's intelligence is key to connecting with our intuition.
From the moment someone shakes a rattle in our faces, we are taught to draw conclusions from what we see and hear in order to comprehend our world. This places us in the unfortunate position of believing that the world happens to us, and that life is a mental exercise.
When we come back to our senses, we experience our world from the inside out, and we remember that our world is being made up, moment to moment, by our preconceptions and expectations. |

 The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.
This poem by 12th-century Sufi mystic, Rumi, I believe is an invitation to go deeper into the mysteries of the self through meditation.
How often have you found yourself awake in the wee hours of the morning, disturbed by a bad dream or a concern from the day before? |

Our world is changing, and everyone is talking about it in their own way.
Some folks are predicting the end times, because of the Mayan calendar or the changes happening on the planet.
Others are saying it's just a new beginning.
I've watched the changes in my practice as an intuitive counsellor and life coach, and I've noticed some interesting trends. Over the past several years, more people from all walks of life are finding their way to my door because of an internal trigger.
Whether they are doctors, lawyers, military personnel, business owners, teachers, homemakers, or students, they are all saying the same thing. |

How many times a day do you feel fear? I'm not talking about abject terror like the kind you have when a tsunami or a wild animal is bearing down on you. I mean that little tightening you get around your heart, that niggling sense of worry just under the surface of your thoughts that is there whenever you stop to experience your own mind.
If you are subject to fear on a regular basis or occasionally, you've fallen back on an old habit.
Fear is a vestigial reaction left over from our caveman days. |

Do not say that I'll depart tomorrow
because even today I still arrive.
 I love the feeling of freedom that this perspective generates. If we can accept ourselves as being in a continuous state of becoming, we are free to embrace unlimited potential.
Of course, the ego mind fears this idea. It likes its little box. In fact, it wants to climb in and close the lid, shutting off the world of possibilities, simply because they are the unknown, and the mysterious is also terrifying - at least to this limited creation of our consciousness. |

 Yesterday, I decided to go for a bike ride under unusual circumstances. In my town of Kelowna, BC, where I've lived now for a year, I've encountered many challenges that I never faced in Ontario, often because of the terrain.
At Myra Canyon, in the mountains of Kelowna, you can ride a bike on the trestles of a railroad track built in the early 1900's. The views are magnificent, but the steep drive up an 8 km long gravel road with hairpin turns is scary for a newcomer like me, and at times the sheer drop-offs from the trail and tracks are unnerving as well. |

 In preparing for our work day, it helps to remind ourselves that we work best when we set the ego aside and let the Universe work through us.
In all of our interactions, we can drop the illusion of separation that is the domain of the ego, and place the intent that what we reflect back to others is done with the greatest compassion and understanding, knowing that we are communicating with some mirror of our ourselves as seen in the face of another.
We are all sparks of one Mind, intermingling, influencing and guiding each other back to our original consciousness. |

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Kathleen McIntyre for her "Authentic You in 2012" tele-series. I spoke about the nature of our intuition in her blog and with her directly in our interview. Here you will find a link to the interview as well as the blog entry below:

 Have you ever thought about what happens when you exchange
a hug with someone? Energy passes between both of you, and whether that
feels good or not is dependent on the direction of that flow of energy
and its intent.
You can turn a hug into a healing experience
by consciously bringing in universal love and tuning in to the feelings
of the person you are hugging.
Before you hug, imagine
standing in a column of light, bathed in divine, universal love. This
process connects you to the highest vibrational frequency. |
