Don't Go Back to Sleep

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?

Moving from Fight to Flow

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.

Overcoming the Primitive Habit of Fear

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.

Even today I still arrive...

In his poem,"Call Me by My True Names", Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh writes:

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.

Get uncomfortable!

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.

Is the universe working through you?

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.

Intuition is not a gift. It's our original language.



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:

Are you settling for small change?

When we welcome a change, we call it variety and enjoy it.
When we resist a change, we call it tragedy and suffer pain.


Something just out of reach of your conscious mind is scratching at the surface of your life. It's time for change. You know that some part of your life no longer fits - and you need to do something about that.

When it's a small change, it's not a big deal - and that's often where we settle. We get a haircut or go shopping. We let off steam by talking to a friend.

Books for Practical Enlightenment

Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying two really useful books from Sounds True. The Intimate Life adds a new dimension to human interaction. Through a series of exercises, the author Judith Blackstone, PhD, leads readers deeper into a relationship with themselves and others by bringing to awareness the fact that we resonate at various frequencies within ourselves and with each other. This book reflects what many intuitives like myself know to be part of the evolutionary process happening at this time.
