RECENT ESSAYS

  • I can’t remember the first place I read the term “energy loops,” but it almost immediately resonated with my experience of a particularly challenging trauma recovery phenomena. You’ll have to excuse the less linear nature of my attempt to describe something so abstract. In the mental health field, we tend to focus on reexperiencing as a…

  • After focusing on past lives and karmic healing, and how they go beyond the family patterns of this lifetime, it feels important to look at the other side of that too. What does ancestral lineage have to do with karmic integration? I recently listened to a long and very interesting episode of Ghost of a Podcast,…

  • Something important to contemplate in understanding “past” lives and what they have to do with us, is that linear time is a human construct and one that doesn’t really exist in the broader cosmos. Past lives as a concept in the daily vernacular generally views lifetimes in a linear way, where there are a series…

  • {Channeled message}

    Patience must be cultivated. You want it all to be cathartic, to have immediate results and confirmation to soothe your fear that something will poison you or make you ill. To know that what is unwell will be removed. Sometimes it takes a long time. You must work for it, deliberately, but also with a…

  • The first experience I had with past lives was when I was 8 or 9. I had a series of dreams about the time between lives, and glimmers of past lives I had lived. I was fortunate that at this particular time I had a couple of spiritually inclined adults I could talk to about…

  • Ancestral Connection

    On the Equinox this year I spent the morning at the Hall of Gems and Minerals at the museum of natural history, which was renovated since the pandemic. In its previous form it was delightfully vintage, if you never visited, picture a multilevel exhibit (as in, sunken living room), plush black carpeting on the floors…

  • Not long after a giving a psychic reading with themes of fruit, decay and seeds, and just a couple hours after sending out the last newsletter, I was walking in Prospect Park following a night of rain. After a long summer drought we had finally gotten some real precipitation a few days in the week. The…

  • {Channeled message}

    They bow down with the weight of their blossoms, almost kissing the ground. They say “surrender your seeds of possibility.” Surrender to the future, to all the ways that it can be. Be willing to experience something you can’t imagine. To surrender is no defeat, it is an act of courage and faith. Sacrifice who…

  • The power of expressive art

    From time to time, and especially when therapy is ending for someone, I’m asked what made me choose therapy as a profession. This can be a pretty long and personal answer if I were to respond completely. But regardless of scope I would have to start with the fact that I chose specifically to become…

  • Timeline Hopping

    Working with past and future selves, naturally lends itself to considering the impact of your experiences and choices on how we express ourselves today. Something that emerged in the recent reiki group was this tendency to see a negativity bias when we work with past and future ideas of self. Quite often when we think…
