When you’re moving through karmic healing work, or ancestral healing, it’s hard not to find yourself in deep exploration of what the connections might be between you and your parents, you and your children, and all the generations of your family lineage. Why do some people get to have harmonious, secure, and loving relationships with…

And yet when we return to them after more experience, we often find they are more complex than they initially seemed.Some of the questions people usually ask when I’m teaching Reiki or leading a group might be “are there different types of energy?

Permission to change your mind, again
I was feeling an intense call to recalibrate after Thanksgiving weekend. Emotionally it caught me off-guard, the holiday was like a minefield of unhappy memories.

Past lives as a concept in the daily vernacular generally views lifetimes in a linear way, where there are a series…

Past Lives and Karmic Healing Part 1: a Trauma-Sensitive approach
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…

Stagnation isn’t always a bad thing
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…
