There is a divine force of Power itself that runs through all of existence and manifests in many ways. And there is a place where that Divine Power penetrates you to live, express, and manifest through you. This Power meets and merges with your ego nature to become your inner power. This is where you have choice and responsibility for how you engage with Divine Power and use it hopefully for the greater good. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we tap into the force of Divine Power that moves through all things, receive it, and allow it to be activated within our beings – it is already there. Where this power meets the lower ego nature, we bring purification and witness the emerging of the Divine Power from within. Divine Names used in this meditation: Al-Qadir: The Powerful, The Capable; The Divine Power that runs through all things.Al-Muqtadir: The One Who has power; The One Who determines everything; The divine power that is integrated into the human being.Listen to this episode for a powerful transformative practice based on ancient wisdom.

In this Meditation, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche guides us on a Holy Fire Reiki Journey to explore and integrate the healing power of Air. Air is the quality associated with the direction East, the rising sun, and the Spring Equinox. The Spring Equinox is the beginning of the agricultural year and the time when the Earth awakens. It is an excellent time for us to initiate and celebrate new beginnings. This year, the Spring Equinox was March 20, 2025, so we are a few days past the actual day light and dark were in perfect balance. The energy is still available for us to use and so we will!Our Journey of discovery brings the quality of Air into full focus – we take flight with the Golden Eagle, the highest flying of all birds, and visit each of the cardinal directions and be gifted the quality most representative of that direction. In the North, the gift of KNOW; in the West, the gift of WISDOM; in the South, the gift of CHOICES; and returning to the East, the gift of ILLUMINATION. We will meditate on integrating each of these qualities as revealed in the following affirmation: We KNOW the WISDOM of our CHOICES enhances the ILLUMINATION of our soul. If possible, before your journey, collect a few feathers – they can be collected from the ground outside, a birdcage, or even purchased at the store. We will be empowering the feathers with our intention, and after our journey is complete, we will take our feathers outside and attach them to a low-hanging branch or other structure as an offering to the Spirit of Air. If you are not able to collect some feathers, this is OK – you can use your mind’s eye to do the process for you.

Fears, frustrations, anger, stress - they can build up inside us and act like the steam inside a pressure cooker. We need to regularly decompress - to let the steam out. These days it needs to be a daily self-care practice. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, I share 7 practices that you can use, and we’ll do four of them together.

Difficult times present us with opportunities to discover who we are. We have a chance to push through our limitations and discover our strengths and values, but we have to dig deep. We have to find courage and hold tight to our convictions. We all have it within us, often more than we know. In today's Meditation and Healing Circle, we support each other to reach beyond our inner depths to discover, own, and embody the divine powers we hold inside. What is within you that you are called to be? Join us to explore and transform.

I have a book that is set to launch in the next month, pre-launch opens this week. It is called Fear, Food, and Feminine Power. I started writing it 8 years ago which feels like a long time, but it turns out the timing is perfect. Women have long held a generalized vibration of fear, feeling unsafe in their bodies. Many of us use food as a crutch to self-soothe, and we wrestle with a body that portrays the struggle inside and out. The book offers step-by-step guidance to heal old wounds and access the sacred feminine power and strength from within. It is a guide to embody a deep transformation. It turns out the current political and social situation is bringing up the same issues, and the answer is the same. We have a sacred inner power that no one can take away from us, and it reaches into every aspect of our lives. It is time for us to rise, own this power, embody it, and live it. It is what will turn this story around. And our time is now! In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we will call forth the sacred power from within and embody this strength that is needed now.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Have you ever been a victim of an attack or abuse and then been blamed for your own attack? Or unjustly scrutinized? Victim blaming is something many of us, especially women, have been conditioned to hold. Now we are seeing this in the firing of government employees given a justification of performance or lack when this is not the reason for their termination. We're seeing it in the way DEI hires are blamed for government waste and overspending. We are seeing this in the blaming of wars. And we are seeing it in the way women's rights are being stripped. If you have not experienced or are not experiencing it yourself, you have undoubtedly witnessed it happening to others, and the impact of that witnessing affects all of us and our choices. Victim blaming stifles our voices, keeps us from speaking up, keeps us in hiding and disconnected from our own truth and light. It puts a heavy energetic burden on the person who is the subject of blame. But, no matter what ever happens to any of us, we still have a power inside of us that cannot be snuffed out, one that no one can take away from us. We can reclaim it and embody it. We can live our sacred strengths.This is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for an empowering healing experience.

With all of the turmoil we are in right now, it’s important to remember what we do have, what we can do, and to focus on elevating our frequencies so we can stay aligned with our truth. We have been talking for a while now about ascension into a world of peace. Meanwhile, we’re in the storm. So how can we weather the storm while staying focused on evolution and elevation? This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle. We call on Divine Powers of Contraction and Release to help us release the trauma responses from the body and use the constriction to turn to Source to draw us into the love, compassion, and healing, and reach the higher frequencies we desire to embody. We call on the Divine Power of Elevation to elevate our consciousness to a new state that encompasses the variations of contraction and expansion so we can contain the highs and lows as we continue to move forward into higher elevations of consciousness.

How much of your persona and habitual behaviors are influenced by cultural conditioning? How much of this conditioning is counter to your true essence? Society imprints so many expectations on us – what we believe, how we speak, how we dress and wear our hair, who we hang out with, what we eat, and the social and political ideologies we identify with. The influences can be so subtle that we don’t even realize we are losing ourselves. But suddenly, we find we have lost our connection with our hearts, our sincerity, our love and compassion for others, our caring for the creatures of the earth, and our stewardship of the planet that is our source of sustenance – of life-breath. It is challenging to unhook from cultural conditioning and embody our true selves. We must heal our wounds, release limiting beliefs, and embrace our inherent worth beyond external validation. This means dismantling internalized narratives that keep us small and reclaiming our authentic sincerity. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we sit in self-inquiry, listening with self-compassion and self-acceptance, to break free from cultural programming that is not our truth and embrace the full expression of who we truly are.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

This meditation targets the underlying generalized sense of fear. It focuses on releasing unexplained fear so we can be more present with current life events and make clearer judgments and decisions. There is a lot of fear in the air waves right now, and much of it can be explained and justified. However, there is an underlying fear that resides in the nervous system that gets amped up when the present dangers arise. These fears come from our own past or from our ancestors or from the general vibration of the cosmic soup we swim in. The more nebulous, unexplained fear makes it difficult to access clarity and determine the best path forward in the moment.If we are not careful, we will internalize the present fear, allowing it to seep into our nervous systems and compound the baseline fear energies we carry. This drags down the general vibration at a time when we need to uplift our frequencies as much as we can.Listen to this meditation to target the underlying generalized sense of fear and focus on releasing unexplained fear so you can be more present with current life events and make clearer judgments and decisions.

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk wrote the brilliant book The Body Keeps the Score. Your body holds the story of your life journey and gives you keys to healing. But your body is not limited to the effects of your past. It is still evolving with you as you write the next pages and chapters of your life. If you have ever looked in a mirror and not like what you've seen, or if you disconnect from your body in order to push through day-to-day, or you disregard your physical self-care, it's time to reconnect and acknowledge your body as your friend - your best friend - traveling this journey with you, experiencing this life alongside you in partnership, learning, evolving, and growing with you.In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we make our way home to ourselves to reconnect with our bodies in friendship, kindness, love, and partnership and set a course to evolve and grow together, strengthening the relationship along the way. Listen to this episode to travel through 7 keys to develop a healthy relationship between your conscious body and your physical body.

Our culture pushes us to identify with labels that tell us how we’re supposed to believe, look, and act: What does it mean to be a woman? A man? Nonbinary? A teenager? An adult? A parent? A liberal? A conservative? Independent? A professional [fill in the blank]? What’s your stereotype? What pictures do you fit in? The messages are full of double standards that are impossible to meet. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don't fit the pictures. This is society’s double bind. It can be challenging in any role or stage of life to stay true to your heart and your integrity and honor your truth. And if it's hard for us adults, just think about how it must be for our children. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we focus on gaining clarity around the identities we fall into and the messages that condition us. We seek to release the imprints that do not fit for us and find our own way that aligns with our personal integrity. This meditation is for us personally, and also for us to get clarity on how to speak with our younger folks about the conundrums they face so we can help them find and honor what is true for them. Our younger adults and children have strong truth meters and highly attuned BS detectors. We want to support them to honor what is real for them so they can be equipped as our future leaders that will guide us into an era of peace and sustainability.Mark your calendar to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

In the Q&A after last Sunday's Meditation & Healing Circle, I had a request to do a Virtual Burning Bowl ritual. So that is what we are going to do today. Get a pen, paper, and a bowl, then press play. You do not need to use real fire - I personally like ripping up the papers by hand. A burning bowl ritual is where you write onto scraps of paper the things you want to release – unhealthy habits, beliefs, emotional patterns, relationships, jobs, financial situations – and then you ceremoniously cleanse them from your being, burning them in a safe bowl or tearing them up or shredding them, letting them release into the ethers to be transmuted or returned to their rightful place. In this meditation, we purge out what we do not want to carry forward from 2024 into 2025, and then we take it a step further. We connect with the bright and powerful parts of ourselves that we've disconnected from, cleanse them, and welcome them back in to integrate into our embodied selves. To heal means to make whole. Bring a pen, paper, and a bowl or trash bin where you can safely dispose of the papers – you do not need to use actual fire – and press play on this week's Meditation & Healing Circle. You can get your copy of the workbook, Bridging the Gaps: A Journey to the Center of Your Self, at http://bridgingthegapsworkbook.com Hint - this recording came from a request from a live participant.

Did you have intentions for 2024 that were not manifested? Maybe obstacles kept getting in your way, or maybe you just didn't get to it yet, or maybe you changed your mind. But the question inevitably comes up: should I hold onto this intention and keep trying or should I let it go and move on? It's not always easy to know if it's meant to be, but we have two Divine Names, divine powers that can help us determine when something needs a bit more time for gestation and when it is ready to move forward. I explain in the meditation why we use these names as mantras. I’ll list them here so you reference them during the meditation:Al-Mu’akhkhir, The One Who holds back, to hold back and let it gestate before acting on it Al-Muqaddim, The One Who moves forwardWe also call on two other Divine Names which represent the cycle of death and birth or rebirth: Al-Mumit, The Bringer of Death, ending, closureAl-Muhyi, The Giver of Life, regenerative life forceListen to this episode to seek insights into what is best to carry forward, what is best to let rest for a while longer, and what is best to let go of altogether.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Yesterday was our Winter Solstice, and today, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche will be leading us on a Holy Fire Karuna Reiki journey called "Whole Body Listening." This is the time of darkness – we will experience the shortest period of daylight and the longest period of darkness. This is a time of release and transformation – we use the available energies to release old habits, negative thought forms, and limiting beliefs. And just as the darkness must give way and change into the Light, we too can be ‘reborn’ into the new Light and experience the rebirth of our Soul as the Great Wheel turns. We replace outdated ideas with new patterns of feelings, new ways of being – seeds carefully planted to manifest themselves at the proper time. Ruha Cathy's Reiki journeys are always super healing and transformative. Enjoy your journey!

This one turned out to be a deep healing, more than I had originally expected. Sometimes in order to fully receive and integrate the gifts, we need to forgive ourselves for our perceived mistakes or shortcomings. That happened. Then we can receive the knowledge, intellect, and wisdom from our experiences, elevating our frequencies and expanding consciousness. That happened too. As we lift our vibrations, we stand on the new elevation as we look toward the new year. Enjoy this healing meditation, and consider joining us live this coming Sunday.

Can you believe it is already December? Again? It's a good time to reflect on this past year to take into account what you have accomplished and what you have received. We are all in a time of immense personal growth whether we realize it or not. What growth has developed within you? What has changed for you over the past year? The Great Sufi Shaykh, Muhyiddin Ibn Al-'Arabi said: "Intention gives meaning to your actions." "Interpretation gives meaning to your life." What interpretation can you give to your experiences? What meaning does that give to your life? There is always something to be grateful for - and when we take the time, we can see it, feel it, and flourish in the grace of it.In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we reflect on this past year, our intentions and personal experiences, and we follow the journey to the center of your self to discover what this tells you about who you are. We follow the CARITAS Healing Process to assimilate this inner knowing to all layers of your being.

Have you ever spoken up in a powerful way about something you believe to be true that does not agree with popular opinion and been called bitchy, whiny, complaining? Most women know what I'm talking about, but this may apply to men too – in fact, I hope you will all benefit from this healing. As I've been preparing to publish my book, Fear, Food, and Feminine Power, I've received a message to lean into righteousness as a feminine strength. Righteousness means morally correct, justifiable, upright, and virtuous. It is standing strong for what we feel is the right thing to do, often in the face of injustice. We have the hormone vasopressin, the mama tiger hormone, that gives us the power to defend those we love against threats. We need to embrace that power, stand strong, and not be silenced by gaslighting. This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for an empowering healing experience.

Sometimes when we want something really bad, we say, “I trust... I trust… I trust…” when what we really mean is “I hope… I hope… I hope…” We are praying for a specific outcome that we want, and then if that outcome does not come to pass, we lose trust. Then we find ourselves saying, “How can I trust in a God that would allow this…?” And then we lose hope, and if we’re not careful, we find ourselves spiraling in negativity that reinforces our fears. We say to ourselves, “See, I was right!” We love to be validated. But to validate fears and visions of doom is counterproductive if we truly care about our future and the future of our planet. We must find our faith, muster our positive energy, and see a way forward that uplifts our frequency and the frequency of the planet. This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, now is the time of harvest and preparing for the winter months. This is a period of reflection and beginning to turn inward to explore our inner landscape. It is the perfect time of year to experience the divine attributes of the Earth as reflected in our own divinity. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche will guide you on a Reiki journey, where you can experience the life force of the earth – the primal life energy, providing sustenance and vitality to all living beings. You can immerse yourself in remembering your interconnectedness – everything on earth is interconnected and every element is related to and influences one another. Embrace the divine within, and recognize that the divine qualities revealed by Mother Earth are already present within you. As your true nature is revealed, you cultivate greater peace, love, and purpose in life. By embracing this inner divinity, you access a source of strength, wisdom, and peace that enriches every aspect of your life. There will be periods of silence for you to write about your experience as you reflect upon what your energies are currently focused on. Within this area of focus, you ask yourself the question: what is the one thing that you can do, that if you do it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?

One thing our US election showed clearly is that the feminine and masculine dynamics are really skewed. The truth of feminine and masculine power is not understood. Until we recognize the highest potential of the feminine and masculine, we cannot have a world of peace or unity. In this powerful Meditation & Healing Circle, we purge the old conditioning that has us still agreeing to live in archaic behaviors and beliefs, tap into the highest potential of feminine and masculine, and bring our energies into a synergistic relationship that can create true strength that can move our humanity and our planet forward into living in harmony, unity, and peace.Mark your calendar to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

In honor/anticipation of election week in the US, this Meditation & Healing Circle offers prayers and intentions for a peaceful election - calling on the purest light and highest vibrations to surround the entire process. We begin with elevating our vibration to one of pure divine light, unconditional love, boundless compassion, and existential peace - a state where hatred and violence cannot exist. We ask first for ourselves, then for our planet, our country, and our country's leaders. Listen to this episode to add your prayers for protection to surround our country and all people of this nation.

When we make mistakes, we can lose faith in ourselves, but self-trust can be restored. Mistakes are inevitable, but when they are accompanied by embarrassment, humiliation, shame, or guilt, they can install this roadblock and warning sign that says "Don't ever go down this road again!" We're left feeling like we can't trust ourselves, and we drive through life with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes at all times. That passion we once felt for life dampens. The inner spark gets dimmed by all the walls we put around it. But that spark is still there, and it can be revived as you restore trust in yourself. Restoring self-trust is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for a personal healing experience.

We all have those life-defining moments. They lodge images, feelings, and beliefs into our cellular consciousness that we identify with until we do enough healing to dislodge. We also have similar identifications with food, most of which are deeply embedded into the psyche, and many of which cause disharmony and disease in the body and the planet. We are imprinted with cultural beliefs, customs, traditions, and habits with food that become a part of our identity - and these often times do not align with the laws of nature in which our bodies and our planet are designed to thrive. Our relationship with food is the most important thing we can shift to foster healing and sustainability for our planet and peace in our world. In last Sunday's Meditation & Healing Circle, we did a process where we purged from our cellular consciousness the identifications with old wounds and anchored into that connection with our core light so that our core light becomes what we identify with. In today's Meditation & Healing Circle, we do a similar process around our relationship with food and those cultural and familial identities with food that keep us from living according to the laws of nature that sustain us and the planet. Listen to this episode to realign your consciousness so together we can create a sustainable environment and a peaceful world. Please share this with others - it takes a mass effort to effect this much-needed change. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Do you feel like you've done a lot of work to leave your past hurts behind, but there is still a part of you that can't break free from your identification with the old traumas? Your past does not make you who you are. It just helps you discover the truth at the core of your being. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we call on the divine power of The Invincible, a power within your life force that anchors you to your core light no matter what happens to you in this earth journey. It purges out the old wounds and connects you to your primordial nature. Listen to this episode to purge identification with old wounds from your cellular consciousness and be embodied with your core light.

Do you ever find yourself wondering who you would be if... if you were born to different parents, in a different place, encouraged to pursue certain gifts and talents, or perhaps if something hadn't happened that created a roadblock? Well, the spark that inspired that dream in the first place is still inside you, and you can tap into it now. You might not be able to express it in the way you could have when you were in a younger body, but there are certain qualities and characteristics that it wants to bring forth from within you that can give you a sense of fulfillment. It's not too late for that creative spark to light up and live through you, to be expressed through you. In this meditation, we explore the essence and qualities at the center of that spark and activate it so you can still be who you are called to be.

There is an amazing underground network that connects all plant life. It is the mycelial network, the communications system through which plants support each other, warn each other, and collaborate. As we walk this earth, we connect with the incredible wisdom of this interwoven support system. As Muhyiddin Ibn Al-'Arabi said, we are not on this earth, we are in this earth. Our bodies are from the earth, and we are an integral part of the earth ecosystem, not separate from anything. We can tap into our connection with all of nature and the All That Is. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we tap into this network energetically to feel our oneness with everything on this sacred Earth. Connecting in vibrationally with prayer and intention, we glean the wisdom of an interconnected supportive system, to entrain our nervous systems and subconscious programming to harmonize with compassion and collaboration to create a sustainable environment and a peaceful world.This is healing, and it is key to aligning our subconscious with our oneness with all. This is a beautiful way to increase our conscious connection and inform our subconscious patterns and programming so we can live in greater harmony with the planet. Listen to this episode for an enlightening meditation to connect with and learn from the wisdom of nature.

Sunday, September 22, is our Fall Equinox of 2024. This is the time of perfect balance – day and night are equal. As we connect in with the cycles of time, we are given the opportunity to go within and give thought to the balance and flow within our daily lives. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, our friend, Ruha Cathy Delwiche guides us on an inner journey, a Reiki Journey to experience a ‘Return to Balance’ as reflected within our human energy body, specifically our chakra system. We are guided through balancing our chakra system for clear access to guidance, observing our ‘human guidance,’ ‘inner guidance,’ and ’divine guidance.’ Get your journal and be ready to release limiting beliefs and layers around any voices or stuck energy found within your chakras and equally important, bring in the gifts and talents that support your Next Step in your journey towards Balance and connectedness with All That Is.

You've probably heard of the theory: "When you heal an ancestral pattern, you heal seven generations back and seven generations forward." Well, I was talking to someone the other day who said, "It bothers me to heal for the ones who hurt me." I so get that. When you're angry at someone for the pain they caused you, why would you want to do them any favors? However, there is another way to look at this, and it's based on the intergenerational life cycle of the monarch butterfly. We have so much to learn from the mysteries of this incredible specimen of nature. Listen to this episode for an exploration of the life cycle of your collective ancestral healing journey, based on the awe-inspiring intergenerational life journey of the monarch butterflies.

Last week in our Meditation & Healing Circle, we journeyed forward to connect with our future selves to receive insights about how our present-day decisions and lifestyle choices affect the future world we want to live in.

We all wear many masks throughout the course of our lives. When we step into unfamiliar and uncomfortable situations, it's natural to fall into a persona that we've been conditioned to believe we need to be to be accepted and successful. Think about the mask you put on when you first went into middle school, or a new relationship, or your first job. Those masks help us get through the awkwardness, but even after we don't need them anymore, parts of them stick. They keep us from being our authentic selves. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we're going to bring awareness to some of the masks we have worn and explore - how are they supporting us? How are they masking our authenticity and sincerity? Do we need to keep them or are we ready to release them? Listen to this episode for self-exploration, deep cleansing, and coming back to wholeness with your authentic self.

Everyone has an inner compass, that inner guidance system that tells us when we are aligned with our highest truth and our most authentic selves. When we perceive the world from that aligned and connected place, we can make choices and decisions that support the highest good for ourselves and the planet. We can speak up for the things we care about, take action to bring about the changes we wish to see, and move in a way that uplifts our vibration and the vibration of the planet. In this episode, we tap into that inner compass and get a visceral feeling of when we are aligned and not aligned. We invoke specific divine powers to strengthen our connection with the inner compass and develop a greater trust in ourselves.

Set in place before the human’s path, we are experiencing another 6 stages of creation, including 27 layers of creation which establish: Your vision and plan, and the laws of nature that govern the substance and flow of the universe, The universal container - from unity to multiplicity, The guiding principles of your inner compass, The lifecycle of this universe, Your role of stewardship,Your influencers and guides, Then humanity and the ever-evolving human journey of elevation. All of these stages and layers of creation give us immense support. When you get a glimpse of what is supporting you, you can develop greater trust and live with more ease and joy. In fact, these teachings are so inspiring, you can live with awe and amazement of the incredible life you’ve been given and the beauty that exists all around you.

Earlier in the week one of our beautiful Sufi teachers, Kabir Helminski, shared the lyrics of the classic rock song Woodstock, written by Joni Mitchell and more famously sung by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. "We are stardust,We are golden,We are billion-year-old carbon,And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden."From the time I read the post, the song continued to loop in my heart. The song is a remembrance of who we are and a prayer for peace.Later in the song it says:"And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planesRiding shotgun in the skyTurning into butterfliesAbove our nation."Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle to contemplate and reconnect with who we are - cosmic beings as conduits for consciousness to explore this earth journey and to come to know itself and return. Join in a prayer for peace - a visualization of all bomber jets and all weapons turning to butterflies, all hatred turning to love and compassion throughout our world.

By now we know that uncomfortable emotions influence our food choices, eating habits, and ability to digest and absorb nutrients. In this week's Meditation & Healing Circle, we will look specifically at how fear might be influencing our eating habits. By fear I mean a disruption in your base chakra and belly energy centers that disturbs your primal sense of safety and security. Whether the disruption was caused by something in this lifetime or something from a past life you brought with you to heal, we want to bring healing to those underlying agitations so you can feel more trust, security, and peace.

We have a special treat today - a journey through the Blessings Fields with Ruha Cathy Delwiche, Holy Fire® Karuna Reiki® Master Teacher and incredible healer. Father’s Day and the Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) have just passed bringing their unique blend of energies. As we celebrate these times with our families and friends, remembering the sacred truth: even Father Sun on the longest day at the height of their brilliance, yields to the Light and begins the long descent into Winter’s embrace only to be reborn as the cycle must ever repeat. We too are part of this cycle – riding the rhythm of time.In our daily lives, we often lose sight of our blessings and see only what needs to be fixed or healed. So often we focus only on the healing aspects of our spiritual journey. Reiki is an excellent modality to assist with healing whether on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual levels. AND Reiki can also be used to reveal our gifts, talents, innovations, inspirations, dreams and blessings. In this episode, Cathy guides us on a Reiki Journey to the Blessings Fields, a beautiful garden-like meadow filled with flowers and tall grasses and butterflies and birds and all things alive and vibrating. As we sit in the Blessings Field, we will be given the opportunity to receive Blessings from all the elements of our creation. And as the ‘remembering of these blessings’ comes flooding in, we will ask to see and be shown lifetimes of exceptional mastery, lifetime of abundance, excellent health, contentment. We will be shown, and we will know all these gifts and talents exist within our DNA, our cellular memory, our culture, our thought forms and beliefs. We are it and it is us. Just a slight shift in awareness will allow you to express all your gifts and talents in this lifetime right now. And so it is.Get a pen and paper for a journaling exercise and be ready to experience your inner knowingness and let those blessings express!You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Life gets busy. When our aging loved ones are slowing down, it can be challenging to dial back our pace to be present with them. The same is true when a spouse or friend becomes ill, or with our children, and especially with our parents – the folks that were yelling at us to hurry up when we were younger. Our minds might not be able to grasp what is happening when their bodies and minds are losing functionality.One thing that is super important is to meet them where they are, support them without taking over for them, and celebrate what they are able to do. They still have things that bring them joy and fulfillment. They just need a little assistance with the activities they like to do. But this doesn't mean they need us to do everything for them. If we do, we take away their autonomy and sense of accomplishment.As hard as it might be when our time is limited, it helps if we can resist the desire to take over and do for them the things they still want to be able to do - even if we can do it better or faster or with the latest tools and technology that is going to make it super cool. They still have value and capability, and if we can slow down and have patience with them, we can learn a lot from them – which helps them feel they are still valued as well.In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we are working with our patience – slowing down our energy during the times we spend together. We open our hearts to see wisdom, beauty, and lessons in the old ways that may seem obsolete. We embrace the value in accepting and appreciating our elders and all the wisdom they have gained in their lives.By the way, Happy Father’s Day! This is the 3rd in a series of Blessings and Lessons from Living with My Father - keys to help us in our relationships with our parents, honoring our elderly, and in our personal growth.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Do you wonder what keeps some people sharp, active, and happy into their elder years? When I first moved in with my dad (now 101), I was surprised at some of the habits he had developed that filled his time. But then as I observed how he was living his life, I realized how he had masterfully embraced what he was still physically and mentally able to do. He was aging gracefully in his own way, keeping his mind sharp and his spirit joyful. It was a beautiful teaching. I soon dropped my judgments and found that when I joined him in this stream, my life became more joyful as well. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we'll do a healing process that I hope will help us see, appreciate, and embrace some supportive changes for our aging loved ones - and our aging selves - for a more peaceful and joyful longevity.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

If there’s anything you have been putting off or been on the fence about, now if the time. It's time for us to get into alignment and strengthen our commitments so we can leave a safe and healthy planet for our children. Right now, we're on track to destroy the whole thing before the end of our average lifespan. We've got to make the changes to turn things around.

Today’s children and young adults are the future leaders and caretakers of the planet. As our planet’s environment and human consciousness are simultaneously rapidly evolving, our youth are coming in encoded with what they need to survive and thrive in an evolved world. Our current leaders and most adults are set in the old ways which have been destroying our planet, and we like to pressure the children to conform to these detrimental habits and continue the harmful systems.For the children to break from their encoding and conform to our unsustainable ways would crush our collective soul and destroy the planet.In this Meditation & Healing Circle, join us to pray for our children to have strength, wisdom, integrity, perseverance, patience, and all that is needed to transform our lifestyle and culture and hold the vibration that will bring about sustainability and peace. And for us, we ask to receive what we need to have the clarity and wisdom to understand, support, and guide them to do what they are here to do.

Inherent in every mother-child relationship is guilt. As a parent, we worry if we did what was needed to give our children the best chance at living a successful and fulfilling life. As a child, we wonder if we did enough to make our parents proud and give them fulfillment as parents. When I was 24 years old, my mother passed away from cancer. I was a gifted child with enormous potential, yet I had wild rebellious streak. I know I fell short of her hopes and dreams for me, and I caused her heartache and grief in the process. When she became ill, I blamed myself for making her life so difficult. I was sure I had played a significant role in causing her illness. Years later, I heard one of my spiritual teachers speak of the Mother’s Guilt – a pain that every mother carries, always wondering if she did the right things for her children, or if she could have done better. The struggle goes both ways. This Sunday is Mother’s Day in the US, a perfect day to bring some gentle loving kindness and healing to these places of guilt for both mother and child, to release the patterns of guilt in the Mother-Child relationship.

Effective communications can make or break a relationship. This doesn't always mean effectively proving our points or being right or even perfect. I'm talking about listening with an open compassionate heart and a desire to mend your relationships. This authentically deepens the heart connection. It's more than a band-aid, it heals core wounds. If we truly care about our connection with someone, truly listening, as my teacher used to say, "with the ear of your heart" is most healing for both of you. This is our topic of this week's Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen in to release your defenses, center yourself, and communicate with an open heart to truly mend the relationships that are most important to you.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

How about a spa day for your heart? Gentle healing sounds to soften the heart, release the blocks and barriers, and rest into the beauty and peace deep inside. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, I’m going to share a sequence I did as a practicum when I was in Continuum Movement Teacher Training, and it got a high mark! It was very well received and people had deeply moving healing experiences. We've been working with healing trauma for the past few weeks – connecting with the earth, settling the nervous system, dropping in to embody your physical vessel – and now resting into the beauty at the depth of your heart.

The traumas of life can disconnect us from our bodies. When we experience a shock, we rebound out. We live from our heads, or we retreat inward or hide behind ourselves. We have trouble being our authentic selves in relationships or expressing our thoughts clearly in work environments. Sound vibration is really helpful for breaking up stuck energies to release old patterning and blocks from the body, and it's also helpful for getting yourself back into your body, connected with your core authentic self. There are specific sounds which can help us reconnect and anchor into our bodies, regardless of how long ago the traumas occurred. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we work with a sequence of Sacred Sounds to ground into our bodies and become the solid powerful presence that feels natural and on point with who we are meant to be.
