    Is Stress Disturbing Your Sleep?

    Sometimes our fast-paced, high-stress world sets the stage for sleep to be far less effective than we need it to be.  Our bodies and subconscious rely on getting a good night’s sleep much more than you may realize.  A great deal of rejuvenation takes place during those periods of deep sleep, and if we aren’t getting them, some of those repair processes are left undone. When our bodies are fully relaxed and in a deep state of sleep, our muscles are also relaxed and the blood passes through the circulatory system easier and becomes more fully oxygenated as it passes through the lungs (this removes carbon dioxide from the blood). …

    Guided Meditation – Finding Peace in Chaos

    In our fast-paced world, it is increasingly difficult to relax and de-stress. We pull up the internet and Google can return 22 million results in less than a second. This constant barrage of information, along with the hustle and bustle of our tech-driven era is enough to make anyone anxious. So how do you find calm amid the daily chaos?  Guided meditation is one of the ways I most often recommend to my clients.  All of my in-house Reiki sessions include guided meditation as part of the process and it has made a huge difference in helping people relax and come down out of fight/flight mode and be able to…

    Darkness to Light

    My house is quiet as it’s early and everyone else is still asleep.  It’s not all that cold this morning, but I decided to use the fireplace as a focal point for meditation.  The fire just started talking with its sizzling, crackling, and popping.  The little white lights on our holiday tree add to the peaceful feeling. During this Season of Lights, we reflect on the growing darkness as we approach the time of Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year.  In about a week, the days will begin to lengthen once again.  This ongoing cycle reminds us that darkness is but “for a time.” When the days grow…

    Happiness and Health: The Two Most Important Things in Life

    The world appears to be obsessed with money and material things.   Keeping up appearances … the size of your house, the type of car you drive, and even where you travel on your holidays … has many folks trying to do one better do their friends and family.  I find this sad and disheartening. I have a friend who is like those mentioned above.  His thoughts are consumed with money.  He is always talking about money … how to earn it, how to spend it, how much he doesn’t have, how much “so and so” makes, all the things he’ll change when he wins the lottery, etc. He spends more on…

    How I Do Sessions by Email

    Sessions by email?!?!  Really???? Absolutely!  The energy matrix of the universe connects all of us and allows me to work with anyone, anywhere even when I’ve never met or talked to them.  Online or email sessions are the foundation of my business and I’ve been blessed to work with people all over the world. I love that I can sit for as long as needed with my focus and intention only on you and your concern.  It also allows great flexibility for me as I work sessions in around my family schedule. How does this work? You select the kind of session you want (energy clearing, house healing, past life,…

    Angels at WalMart

    While others seem to have negative experiences with people at WalMart, it seems to be where angels show up for me.  It happened again yesterday when I was out grabbing groceries. We’d been putting off a grocery run for about a week due to other activities but couldn’t delay it anymore.  I’d already stopped at Aldi and picked up most of the things but needed to pop in at the WalMart Neighborhood Market for a few fresh fruits and veggies that Aldi didn’t have.  I stay away from the big WalMart, but this little market is always pleasant and it’s on my way home from Aldi. As I finished picking…

    How I Do Sessions by Phone & Video

    I learned about remote sessions in my Reiki training (a LONG time ago), so they’ve been part of my work for more than 30 years.  Many of my local clients prefer remote sessions (email, phone, video) as it’s more convenient.   They don’t have to fight local traffic and they can be sitting with friends or even at the beach and still connect with me for a session.  They can even sit in their jammies in the comfort of their own home and sip their favorite beverage without worrying about driving home … yes, many of my clients chat with me over a glass of wine 😊 How to Schedule & Connect …

    How I Do Sessions by Phone

    I learned about remote sessions in my Reiki training (a LONG time ago), so they’ve been part of my work for more than 30 years.  When I started reading cards for other people in 2010, remote sessions just came naturally for me. Many of my local clients prefer remote sessions (email or phone) as it’s more convenient.   They don’t have to fight local traffic and they can be sitting with friends or even at the beach and still connect with me for a session.  They can even sit in their jammies in the comfort of their own home and sip their favorite beverage without worrying about driving home … yes,…

    In Need of Quiet Distraction

    You know how every once in a while (or maybe more like all the time) you have song lyrics continually running through your head? No matter what you do, they just don’t seem to stop … even at night when you’re trying to sleep. Do you ever have troublesome thoughts that do the same thing? Me too! Last night and this morning I found myself in that boat. I knew it was time to let someone move on from being part of my life but just couldn’t seem to let go. I kept going back over why we needed to stay in touch and how I needed to be there…

    Relaxation Day

    Busy-ness is the trend these days. People carry over-packed schedules like winning trophies. “I’m SO busy at work!” “How do you have time to do that? I’m too busy to read/watch TV/exercise/do anything fun.” “I can’t get monthly massages I have too much to DO!” Too much “busy” could be making you tired, sick, and probably cranky. When do you relax? RELAX. “Relaxation” is a word we hear often, but don’t know always know what it means.    re·lax  verb ri-ˈlaks 1: the state of being free from tension or anxiety. 2: a way to rest and enjoy yourself 3: recreation or rest, especially after a period of work. 4:…
