They gather me upThese treesThey gather me upTo mend my woundsAnd restore the depth of my soulTo the balance of me. They gather me upRoots and branchesTops and tipsBending to match the heightOf my heart in their presence. They gather meAs a prayer to the windAnd absolution to the soilAnd the moments of GraceWhich I …
My Mom and the Significance of Leap Day: looks into how simple associations between a daughter and her mother push at the daugher’s self-belief. I am very happy with the fact that most people can’t tell my age correctly. Most are off by at least ten years and often fifteen. Especially when they might realize …
Today I have been thinking about how resistance is course correction. When I ran into resistance, I used to think I had done something wrong. That I had missed the turn. That if I had been paying better attention I would have gotten it “right.” Resistance felt like failure. However, thinking of resistance as course …
I am a Work in Progress explores the process of the inner landscape and how one can step through the ups and downs of personal growth. Today I feel myself dealing with my sense of status quo, what’s “normal” or “average” and feeling like I don’t want to be bound by any of it. Nothing …
Balance Is. This is one of the most powerful ideas from my Akashic Records. Balance is not something you have to push hard to make happen. Instead, stop. Take a step back. Assess. Where is balance in this moment? Something may need to be let go. Something else may require the realization that expectation is …
The Pause Before What Is — an article which steps the reader through a personal process of spiritual practice. To go along with the written article, you may also listen to the article. What. Is. Two words. Simple on the surface. Complex at the base of the iceberg. Pay attention to What Is. Okay – …
Instead of circling, I need to step in, commit, and give connection my best shot with all of me present, willing, and open. Stepping in is commitment. Stepping in is not just a big toe in the water; stepping in is commitment to the flow of your river of life. Say a wholehearted, Yes! Give …
At a crossroads, choice seems apparent: left, right, straight. Sometimes life is that clear-cut. At the crossroads, feel into your truth, choose, and allow your life to move on. However, there are moments where no matter the logic of the moment nor the feeling in your gut, nothing helps you discern your truthful choice. The …
As self-trust builds, and inner truth begins to speak with a louder and clearer voice; you can turn from the outer master to your inner master. The inner master is the empowered voice of your true self, clearly connected to the voice of your truth. As trust builds, you build confidence in following your inner …
Simply, spiritual practice is a journey of truth: to find truth within yourself, with the people around you, and in the events forming your life. Spiritual practice can look like meditating or chanting, going to church, the mosque, or the temple. Spiritual practice includes prayer and song, yoga and dance. Spiritual practice can also include …
No single breath can be until you decide to engage with the universe. This breath is you stepping into the creative motion of the divine. This breath is you responding to the deepest urges to become an active part of All That Is. Yes, this breath is a physical requirement. But this breath is not …
The Akashic Records, especially when experienced as knowing, healing, and spiritual practice, are more than objective, they are also subjective. This means that truth is in the eye of the beholder. What is true for you may not be true for me. And, only you can clearly identify what is truth for you. Truth resonates …
Trust emerges as belief from reliability. As a beginner, limited in experience with the Akashic Records, I didn’t feel either strong belief or solid reliability. Initially, when a response sounded like me, I didn’t have enough experience to decide whether it was just me or truly from the Akashic Records. Frustrated and confused, several times …
Process creates foundation. Practice and experience strengthen process. Trust builds, truth emerges. As you journey in your Akashic Records: Honor and respect yourself. Allow your firm foundation to provide support and knowing. Step forward in trust, finding joy in your life. This is an excerpt from Cheryl’s book, Open Your Akashic Records.
Learning to open your Akashic Records is, surprisingly, more challenging than opening for another. When you open the Akashic Records, you are holding the sacred space of the Reading, receiving the flow of energy, and transmitting this energy and information as best you can. When you do this for yourself, you add an extra step: …
The Akashic Records Blessing is one of the three elements required to open the Akashic Records. There is a blessing for yourself and a blessing for Other. The intention of the blessing is to create a connection with divine knowing, to provide a threshold beyond the mind, beyond the physical. The blessing brings heart and …
I am at Peace is an affirmation that I turn to frequently — especially when I find myself dealing with the unknown and the unexpected. The unknown is inescapable. Part of life. Part of every moment of experience. The choice in how to respond to the inevitable is yours – always. When the unknown makes …
What can we learn from the soul perspective of energy? When energy is viewed from the perspective of the soul, the flow of energy can be seen in a very new and different light. Chakras and meridians provide a great view from the body’s point of view. Stepping into the soul shifts the perspective from …
I’m letting go of scraps. Which is also to say that I’m letting go of making do.
Create the career you love: begin with you! One of the most popular reasons for an Akashic Record Reading is assistance in finding a job or a new career. A common inquiry goes something like this: I’m looking for a job.I don’t know where I fit in and I’m not sure what I want.What I …
