Closer to the Heart

“... During every concert they always inevitably sang one of their most profound and touching songs called “Closer To The Heart.” It was always the same pattern in every concert. When the first few chords of the song began everyone would stand up and quietly light their lighters and raise them in the air. Each individual flame creating a sea of light. It might sound silly if you have never experienced something like this, but it was always a powerful event and an emotional wave that lit up the room in a really touching way. There were no arguments or disagreements about what this song meant. Everyone there was connected, each in their own way and feeling the same universal hope of “building a new reality that was closer to the heart...”

Join me for a live column read and added discussion today. I may take a few live calls but they will need to be questions related to todays topic.

Coming Home to a Place I've Never Been Before

“... Nearly all of my close friendships and intimate relationships always felt like I was reuniting with people I already knew. The bodies, nationalities, sex, age, and other elements may have been different this time, yet the sense that I already knew them was always there from the beginning. Whether it was past life connections, a future self bringing me to this point, dreams, Deja Vu, compatible Astrology, or any other number of deeper reasons, the feelings of familiarity have generally been a constant. My early work with past-life studies often gave me insight before or after we met about our other connections. This has always added another important layer to my relationships...”

Finding Your Life Purpose

“... Some people become aware at a fairly young age of the purpose of their lives. This is wonderful and often chosen at a higher Self level to get an early start. Most of us will have to inevitably figure it all out, and this can take some time with lots of trial and error along the way. When we are young, natural talents, skills, and abilities may be encouraged by parents or guardians that see the potential and help motivate us to achieve our goals. Still, the majority of us will experience little motivation and even at times disdain about our natural inclinations. This can be difficult to overcome. Often parents have their own vision of what is best for us. There may even be unfulfilled dreams of their own projected upon children. Another common and at times a spoken or unspoken blockade or hindrance is “this is what all of our family members are supposed to be or do.” A good number of people experience apathy from family about motivating us at all..."

Yes Dear

When I work with clients one of the most frequent subjects I get asked about is relationships. “When will I find one? Where is my soulmate? What do I need to do to help my current relationship? Should I stay in my current situation or find something better? Will I always be alone?” This aspect of life often doesn’t match our ideal and it’s frequently packed with at least some challenge. Most relationships fall somewhere between almost perfect or on the other end seriously toxic. I once had a female client who was uncomfortable and embarrassed about being controlled by her possessive, dominating boyfriend. We discussed possible solutions and she decided it might help if he came to see me. Aside from being in denial about whether he was controlling at all, and he really was, he tried to manipulate and control me during our session. It was not a successful attempt and he left likely thinking, and telling her “I was not qualified. There is unquestionably a need to prioritize healthy compromise in any relationship..."It is important to recognize..."

Essence Contact:

“...Experiencing essence contact happens when we are not actually trying to! It often feels like fully plugging into the present moment. It can feel like a circuit that completes or a light has come on and you just simply “get it.” When this occurs it moves us immediately to the positive poles of our over-leaves and our astrological wiring. Fear is not part of the experience and we may even temporarily move into what is know as the higher centers. It is a brief release from Maya or false personality. Time can seem elongated or even become meaningless. Often the magnitude of essence contact, however long or brief, afterwards can feel almost that we are in a positive way, burned clean or back on track...”

"...achievement of essence contact is unique for everyone. A mother may feel essence contact during childbirth or when she holds her child for the first time. A father may feel essence contact while walking his daughter down the aisle at a wedding or with the father, daughter first dance. A fireman may feel it while rescuing someone..."

Todays Show: What “I Use” means to assist us in both practical and spiritual wisdom.

“...I have to remind myself to remember the many benefits of focusing on gratitude and how many things I have to be grateful for. While I still get frustrated, it seems my fifties self versus the me of my forties tends to be far less irritable. The practical details of life like cars, appliances, and many of the things in life that inevitably break down, and r often ridiculously expensive to repair, have not changed; things wear out and break. The details of marketing connected w having my own business, r still at times very time-consuming.  What fortunately shifted in my fifties was how I look at all of these things. I now truly understand what the positive pole of Capricorn actually means. “I USE” is understanding the wisdom of how problems can propel us toward solutions or make us stronger versus irritation and complaining, or going to the extremes of feeling like a martyr...”

Nice to meet you again for the first time

“...What is actually happening when we meet brand new people that are new in one way but are also oddly familiar or just seem to fit perfectly at the time? There are a number of ways to look at this. One is karmic bonds. When you begin to understand that we do indeed reincarnate and have many lifetimes as we evolve, learn, and grow, we are bound to have souls we have been with before. They may be in different bodies, and in different times and places, yet the pull or essence is familiar...”

“...I saw this instant pull of “meant to be friends” in the different restaurants I worked at in my late teens, twenties and my early thirties.The process, while always different, still had a thread of noticeable patterning. It felt like you were attempting to rapidly fill each other in on your lives so far. Often you would find similarities or even extreme disparities that you were equally excited by. Whether the affinity was just for a few weeks, months, or even years, they were often instant glue...”

Stupid People and Rainbows

“I purposely timed my drive back from a day of running errands to avoid rush hour traffic. It was two pm and I was heading home on a rainy day. Traffic on the freeway was mild until the rain started to get heavier. I, along with most other drivers, appropriately slowed down to accommodate the road conditions. I was fine with that until I began to see that every two exits or so, traffic would almost completely stop. The first time this happened was because of a minor accident that made everyone feel a need to slow down and stare at the incident. A few exits later, traffic slowed down to a snail’s pace again because a cop had pulled someone over and apparently equally fascinating to most of the other drivers. This went on in one format or another during my entire drive home. I found myself becoming progressively irritated by the whole situation.There was either constant braking or dangerous speeding. Drivers were either overly cautious, or not cautious enough. The whole situation was excruciating. I began to wonder: why were people so stupid?...”
