The Courageous Path

I am so happy today to share an interview I did with my very own uncle, Keenan Dakota. For about 35 years, Keenan has lived on Twin Oaks Intentional Community in Louisa, Virginia. Founded in 1967, Twin Oaks one of the oldest and most well-established income-sharing communities in the United States. Keenan is one of the longest-serving members there, and has been interviewed about Twin Oaks for CNN, the Washington Post, and ABC News.

In our interview, Keenan shares what life is like at Twin Oaks. He dispels some common misperceptions about intentional communities like Twin Oaks, and shares his perspective on how Twin Oaks members have created a utopian, alternative lifestyle that is a dream for many.

For many people who are seeking a better way of living, away from our consumer-driven capitalistic society, sharing resources, food and livelihoods like this might be an ideal solution. I hope you find this interview, as I did, to be illuminating, thought-provoking and inspiring.

This is a meditation to connect you with the healing, loving energy of Jesus of Nazareth, as an Ascended Master, and the Christ consciousness he embodies through his Higher Self. I have had many powerful experiences with Jesus personally, and feel the need to share with you here. May this be of service in some way in your life.

In this guided meditation, you will be led to meet a spirit guide, a divine being who has unconditional love and support for you. We all have many spirit guides, but usually there is one primary guide with us through life to help us learn life lessons and step into our soul purposes. This is a live recording made by the fire.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to change unwanted thought patterns, habits and behaviors held in the subconscious. A hypnotherapy session is like a guided meditation, but in a deeper state of relaxation. The conscious mind is not present in hypnosis, so the subconscious can be open to receiving new suggestions, remove negative thought patterns and replace them with positive thoughts. There is a lot of misinformation out there about hypnosis (thanks to stage hypnosis “tricks”): you are always fully in control in hypnosis, and you would never do anything you would not want to do. Almost everyone can be hypnotized!

In this hypnotherapy meditation, you will be introduced to the healing energy and light of Archangel Michael. His energy helps to remove fear, increase courage and brings about protection and removal of low-vibration energy. It is a powerful, transformative healing experience, opening up a the lines of communication with this most wondrous angelic being.

This is a meditation and a writing exercise, so have writing materials nearby. In this guided imagery exercise, you will call into your mind a desire you have in your life, and “float” possible action steps toward making this desire a reality. You will then be guided to choose one that has the most flow and ease of energy, and that can be easily integrated into your life. You may be amazed at how helpful this is!

Guided imagery is a powerful way to work with the subconscious mind and with any blocks to your healing and ideal future that might be present. Through the guidance of a facilitator's voice, you are led into the depths of the subconscious.

This exercise is adapted from one in the book Guided Imagery for Self-Healing by Dr. Martin Rossman.

If you have a problem you want to solve, health issue you would like to heal, or you simply want to uncover next steps in life to help you grow, this guided imagery exercise will help you use an image generated by your subconscious of a problem and a solution to move forward. You will communicate directly with this image and receive information from it.

We go through our days experiencing lots of different emotions. Often, though, we don't take the time to notice these feelings or allow ourselves to feel them completely. This meditation will help to examine where these emotions are held and just dive into them a bit to begin separating from their power.

This meditation is adapted from the Mindfulness Skills Workbook by Debra Burdick.

This is a meditation to clear any unwanted energy/thoughts/beliefs from your body and soul. In this meditation, you'll be guided into a sacred room visualization to release what's feeling heavy or stuck, and invite healing light to flow again in your body.

This is adapted from a meditation I learned from a gifted clairvoyant teacher, Kathleen Swinbourne.
