Mental Illness and Spirituality

Those who understand higher spiritual truths will often be cast as mentally ill to the spiritually materialistic. The truth is that there is a world greater than we can imagine or comprehend that goes way beyond the physical. We all have some level of spiritual insight and experiences, we just doubt them as we have...

Demystifying Psychic Awareness of Others

Reading people is normal. Maybe not common, but normal. We are all hardwired from birth to see people beneath their mask and into their subconscious mind. Babies do this. Children are wildly aware of everything. It is not woo to see the depths of people with clarity. We are all connected in spirit; this is...

Women on Women Sexism

I think the worst sexism doesn't come from men, but from other women. I see women tearing other women down all the time. Women who post selfies, for starters.... So many women feel uncomfortable when other women post their selfies often. The prettier, the more self-assured and the happier these women appear to be, the...

Is it impossible to heal completely?

Today, I challenge the notion that we can never heal completely. I think it really depends on if we are talking about getting it all done in this lifetime or at all in terms of eternity. My opinions are based on the belief that our souls are eternal and that reincarnation is real. From the...

How our minds play tricks on us when it comes to abuse

When I heard of my friends being molested back in the 90's, I had always felt so much heartbreak for them. I understood what it might have been like. At those times, I felt how lucky I was to have never been sexually abused. I remember myself saying, "Thank God I was never molested". Then...

The Problem with Gratitude

Gratefulness can be another spiritual bypass trap. I think gratefulness IS a divine virtue, but like forgiveness, it's got to be authentic. I can sit around here and tell you all what I am grateful about, but unless I really mean it and unless I am TRULY embodying it through my own ACTIONS, it's just...

Addressing Ego-bashing

The more we bash the ego as bad, the more time it might take to heal and disidentify with it. The ego is not wrong. It's our inner child. It came to life to hold on to our traumas so that we could function in the world. The only reason you're still breathing now is...
