Karma

She walked in carrying a brown leather suitcase and wearing stiletto heels. Her raven colored hair, high cheekbones and dark red lipstick set against a backdrop of times past and present. The gleam in her eye as she stared you down from head to toe. Images of sins and pain flash as images on a […]

Breathe slowly

Deeply Intimately With such reverence for the vessel In which your spirit calls home. Tend to it with great mercy Only the light could understand. Bathe it with immense Hope until You quiver with faith. Touch it with pure kindness Until you weep the name of God In every language known to the angels. One […]

I prefer to keep company with magic.

With wild thunderstorms that dance through the universe With dreams of merriment amidst ancestors of old With mischievous spirits that frolic through the ethers With bouquets of flowers that whisper sweet nothings into my heart And with human beings who never stop believing in the eternal power that kindness can wield.

When will it End?

Listen to the embers burning Of ancient cries amidst war The desolation and emptiness that only darkness can bring. You search for souls as your narrative Weaves its way among ruins and bodies Whose story becomes imprinted in your own And within generations not even birthed yet. You and I were once torn by gunfire […]

My work with clients this week focused much around the topic of feeling safe. Almost everyone felt the emotional boundary systems that have been in place for a while are once again crumbing within and around them. One of my clients said he knew he couldn’t rush through the process or find a quick fix, yet the feeling of dread around worldly events leaves him suffocating. The boundaries he had relationships with no longer support him in the same way, nor do those thoughts he created around them. We worked on creating new definitions of feeling safe, both within the world and within himself, including those relationships in his life. We spoke about finding new interests, organizing new thoughts in the ways in which he saw the world. Little things like volunteering, supporting a cause close to your heart can all contribute to feeling safe in this world. The more you hold onto the old boundary systems especially in relationships the more constricted you will feel in your life and in connection with those around you. A new boundary system and new definition of safety takes time to unfold and integrate. Changes in your external world are happening fast. Don’t expect those changes in your internal world to manifest at the same pace. Be patient and gentle with yourself.

In Greek mythology a psychopomp is a supernatural creature or spirit whose purpose is to guide a soul who has just died to the afterlife. We die many times in one lifetime, aspects of ego and will, body and mind, ancient ancestors communing at the threshold of our passage so that they too, can evolve as sentient beings. We embody a myriad of lineages in our flesh and bones, not just the lineages inherent in our soul’s trajectory, but lineages across parallel realities that seek to serve a higher purpose. There is a sense of surrealism with each death, an altering of reality as we embrace a new one, an altering of a lineage as the sacred womb rises to give birth, life, healing and safe passage to those parts of us which need to die, which need to merge with a laden earth encumbered by human disconnect. Or perhaps those parts of us which need to ascend with the angels, a death absorbing grace as the Divine intended to the fullest experience a soul can have.

There is a descent into the underworld where we embrace flesh and bone as much as we do spirit. A descent into darkness where we fall upon our knees and give thanks to the landscape that nourishes our understanding of good and evil. How fortunate we are to listen to the wilderness that runs through […]
