The Profound Power of Loving Kindness

One of the most powerfully transformative outlooks that we can view reality from is the lens of compassionate awareness. When we practice loving kindness towards ourselves and others, something really miraculous occurs. When that love is truly allowed in and integrated, the ego’s defensive posture can drop away. What remains when that façade is left behind is the pure shining essence of the soul without pretense.

Dance as a
Spiritual Path

Many cultures have used dance as a path to spiritual union. Sufi dervishes spin on and on to experience a sense of unity with all that is. Practitioners of Orisha worship invite the deities to dance through them. In Bali the Sanghyang trance dances are performed to spiritually protect and clear the village. Through dance, it is possible to move beyond the limited perspective of the persona and experience something greater moving in and through us when the ego mind gets out of the way.

Sound Healing

Sound is a very powerful tool. Different frequencies, tones and sounds can induce different states to promote healing for the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. On a molecular level, our bodies are systems of vibrating atomic particles. We are living receivers and transmitters of sound vibration. Some researchers claim that each of our organs vibrate at a different frequency. We can use sound frequencies to vibrate matter and promote healing and regeneration of the different body systems. These frequencies also shift etheric patterning to heal the emotional and mental causes of illness.

Using Crystals and Stones
for Healing

Many cultures through time have worked with gemstones and crystals as healing agents. From the lost civilization of Atlantis, to the Maya of central America, the ancient Hebrew civilization, the Native peoples of North America, the alchemists of medieval Europe, through out Asia, and beyond, crystals, gemstones and metals have been used for spiritual upliftment and physical healing.

Is There a Difference between Healing and Spirituality?

Healing of the psyche and spirituality are intimately linked. I have heard it said that some Native American tribal people believe that the inner child is actually the high self. When a person completely heals this inner self, that being reaches enlightenment. This is very central to the way I view the process of enlightenment. Each step we make forward in our search for the truth heals our soul, and when we heal our soul, we experience the truth of the universe. Healing and spirituality are woven together inextricably as the warp and the woof in the loom of change.

Divination with Pendulums

Pendulums are splendid tools for developing clairvoyant abilities. Through the regular application of its use, it can help you to connect to and recognize higher wisdom by exercising your ability to listen deeply to your inner knowing. Some of the things pendulums can be used for include: ascertaining information about health issues, finding lost objects, assisting in decision making processes, help with understanding energy flows in a place or in a person.

Sanctifying, Clearing and
Anchoring  Sacred Space
through Smudging

In many spiritual traditions, different herbs or resins are burned during ceremony to clear negative energies away, draw positive energy in, sanctify space, as well as prepare oneself for entering sacred space.

When smudge or incense is used during spiritual practice, it can act as an anchor into spiritual reality, especially when it is used regularly by the individual for that purpose.. As soon as that familiar smell reaches your nose, your psyche is triggered into dropping down into spiritual awareness and relaxation through that recognition.

Wild Woman Interview

Here are some pithy excerpts from an interview with Sylvia Brallier about the wild woman archetype.

What are your experiences with wildness and being a wild woman?

Life is very precious. You only have a limited amount of time here, so you might as well be doing what really matters to you. It will serve you best to be focused on what your truth is. A major part of what defines my truth is my passion, and one of my passions is my creative process. That process has many avenues that it takes, but the goal for me is to be fully involved in what I am doing and what it is that I am feeling without a lot of editing going on.

Healing and Transformation- 
Through the Shadows
and to the Light

"For me, the path of transformation means not only going for the feelings of bliss, joy, and all those other fun emotions, but the willingness to dive into all aspects of myself, even the places within myself I have consciously or unconsciously disowned because they seem unacceptable to me or I fear they are unacceptable to those around me.

These shadow places with the psyche contain vast amounts of energy that is bound up by our inner editor, the part of our self that sanitizes our behavior and the expression of our emotions in order to attempt to gain control of reality by controlling our selves.
