“ Do not judge others as inferior, though some cognitive styles can be more emotionally problematic than others. The goal is always to remove obstacles that keep our hearts closed or foster misunderstanding. You’re learning about each other. It is an ongoing” dance of connection, respect, tolerance, and love."                                                                                ..read more

Follow your dream. But make sure you have laid down a solid foundation for it before you bring it to the public.   What does this mean? When I first started my coursework for Reiki 1, I and my classmates were taught this class for 1 month. We had homework every week and we had class meetups every week with teaching and questions included.  At the end of our Reiki 1 class, we were tested on all what we were taught. If we did not pass, we did not receive our certificate. No certificate, no Reiki 2 class. Our teacher provided us with a solid foundation to start our Reiki j ..read more

  When we fight for what we believe in using negativity, we promote fear. Thus fear is quickly passed from person to person, bringing about a surplus of dark, heavy energy/fear into the world. When we fight for what we believe in using positivity, we promote love. Thus love is quickly passed from person to person, bringing about a surplus of light, uplifting energy/love into the world, displacing fear. Some quick definitions- Fear/negativity: -anger/frustration/rage -hate -jealousy -bitterness -distrust -worry -misery -depression Love/positivity: -joy -calm -eager -forgiving -silly ..read more

  Everything is made of energy. People’s physical bodies, their emotions and their Divine spirit are all energy. Each person has unique energy to them. Their energy will project to other people letting others know who you are. If you live life on the dark side, your energy projected will let others know. If you live life on the light side, again, your energy will be projected to others letting them know this. Each time we are around other people, we go into an “energetic dance.”  If a person with a stronger belief is near another person who has a weaker belief on the same subject ..read more

  What is Golden milk and why should I care? Golden milk is also called Turmeric milk. Golden milk was used in Ayurveda healing in ancient India.  Golden milk is made like tea, except you use milk instead of water (any type of milk you'd like), and a mixture of spices consisting of: Cinnamon ( I use Ceylon cinnamon, which is better for health.), Green Cardamon, Black Pepper, Ginger, and of course Turmeric. Talk about health benefits!! We all can use some added health benefits such as supporting and protecting our cells in our body. Ceylon cinnamon is full of: Antioxidants Mangan ..read more

About 2 years ago, I found out my LDL or bad cholesterol went up to a high score. At that point, my doctor wanted me to start up with cholesterol medicine to lower it. I am middle aged. Years ago, I had elevated triglycerides. I went on to statins, but I told myself, I will become healthier and get off of this drug. And so, I did. I basically followed the same regiment as I talk about here. From reading research on statins, statin drugs do lower your bad cholesterol and can give some benefit. Some people will need to be on statins due to their heart health.  But I had read there is no ..read more

  While growing up, I knew I was different from most. But when you are young and in school, one feels the need to fit in. As a child, if I didn't fit in, I felt I would have been isolated, criticized, and ridiculed just for being me! As it was, teasing, humiliating, and beating up kids was and still is a big thing.   Now that I'm an adult, I see that who I am is just as beautiful as the next person, whether I am different than them or not.   Society has put some kind of rule down that we all must act like aggressive, extroverted people in the world to belong. If we do not ac ..read more

Recently, I watched the 50th Anniversary show of "The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd in Chicago's Adler Planetarium. What a wonderful show. I highly recommend it. But if you do watch it and you feel motion sickness, just try looking down at the seat in front of you for several seconds. Then return to watching the show. This way, you are able to reground yourself. I was also inspired by reading Michael Newton, Ph.D's books such as "Destiny of Soul." His clients have described Souls returning back to the Spirit World/Heaven. I created this video, a fantasy video of space and the Soul to ..read more
