What is the Akasha? This is a good question to raise when trying to understand the Akashic Records. The word Akashic means “of, or pertaining to the Akasha.” Akasha is a Sanskrit word with meaning in all the religions which use Sanskrit as a holy language, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Tibetan Bon. Within these religions, …
Your spiritual journey has five steps and in each step there is a primary spiritual concept which supports your learning and growth in that step. The first step is The Call — a knowing that beckons you to follow. The Call may be very clear in what and why. Or the Call may be a …
I asked the Akashic Records to describe an Akashic Record Reading. Here’s what I received! An Akashic Record Reading begins with a request. The energy of this request, whether or not there is clarity about the request, asks for attention to be brought to the deepest part of self. This deepest part is that place …
F E A R Fear is always about the future. The anticipation of what might happen when, if. Because of what happened before that might happen tomorrow or the next moment. Fear yanks you from the present moment. In this moment is where your power emerges in strength. In this moment is where you are …
In the flow of All That Is, everything is energy and all energy is always in motion. Thus, the experience of life is both a Being and a Becoming. Being is existence, a moment of now, an instance in the experience of energy as both potential and form. Becoming is a claiming of the potential …
Five Steps of Your Spiritual Journey describes the rhythm and cycles of your journey. The five steps which make up the spiritual journey help you find a practical way to make sense of the ebb and flow of your journey and your life. These five steps repeat over and over again in each moment, in …
Facing the future, full frontal. This is how I suggest we face the new year. This is why I make this suggestion. A provocative term, full frontal. About baring all your bits in public without cover. I am not suggesting that this is your year to embrace going out in only your God-given covering. I …
Believe in Yourself! This is the beginning and this is the point you return to for understanding and truth. Just like the little engine who could, it takes belief to propel yourself past bumps and obstacles. Self-belief doesn’t guarantee that you will make it over the mountain. But without self-belief, you don’t have the energy …
You’re a Different Person Today! This is a short reflection on my awareness from a conversation.
I stand at the threshold in the midst of the boundlessness. Depending on my frame of reference, I see the cosmic nebula of creative impulse. In tighter focus: a grain of sand and the smile of my beloved. In the luminous of this liminal awareness, I sense both motion and stillness, pause and thought, love …
Here I sit in the dark. The sun has set and the only light is from my computer screen. I am here, now, feeling the edge of my new life emerging from the unknown and the unexpected. Love fills my heart and I am full of light from the love of friends and family and …
Dirty, Dusty, and Drained describes a the challenges of a hike. In fact, it is the challenge of the trail which I enjoy the most about hiking. It’s been a month since my feet have hit a trail. A month filled with shift. A month that seemed to move a mountain within me. A month …
The spiritual practice of the Akashic Records requires understanding the spiritual importance of agreements. As a spiritual concept, integrity is foundational. Integrity is alignment of truth. Yet, because the future is never 100% predictable, integrity is also a risk – a risk that the future may be different than anticipated. Living on an island alone, …
I will confess: I’m a talker. I love to tell stories, share information, and connect with others through the spoken word. I like how understanding sparks within them and within me, creating a moment of shared awareness. The stories I tell are neither fiction or non-fiction, rather whispers of the heart and murmurs of the …
Serenity beyond fear is based on these two ideas: Create and express through all aspects of the known, unknown, and unknowable. Chaos and fear are simply the old interpretations of what we do not know. Inner preparation is necessary as the failing model of patriarchal, authoritarian dominance gives way to a new vision of integration …
Defiance to Failure: All but Defiance is one of a series I wrote about training to climb a 5000 foot mountain. A year ago, I took on a challenge: ten training hikes of continually more intensive distance and mileage in preparation for the last hike. Number ten, the highest point in the Columbia Gorge and …
Welcome to this Dance We Call Life is an excerpt from my book The New Akashic Records. I remember writing these words. Pen in hand, like a song singing from my soul, the motion danced across the paper. I was aware but with awareness on a different plane of consciousness from the every day. A place of alignment and resonance. A space where there was no struggle. A place simply of What Is. A space within me. A space beyond me. I know I wrote these words. What I don’t remember is each word emerging. For what emerged was the sense of connection with transcendence and me in balance between and with Heaven and Earth. Me merged with the dance of life.
In the months after my divorce, my heart felt closed and bruised. I wondered if I would ever be able to feel love or express love again.
I wondered about my capacity for vulnerability.
In my twenties, I thought I had this love thing understood. However, three years ago, after divorce, I started dating for the first time in 25 years and got that I had misunderstood.
I’ve been on a new journey the last couple of months. As I look back, it is hard in this moment to see all that it’s been about. Many moments which have yet to integrate. Many moments which feel like their own separate strands of experience and exploration. I feel like my life has moved …
