Is My First Chakra Red?
It’s tempting to think that the chakras follow the spectrum of the rainbow from red to violet. It’s a nice concept, but it’s not true. Learn more about the chakras and what the rainbow colors actually mean.

Prana Prana Bo Banna, Banana Fanna Fo Frauna…
CK is a teensy bit worried about dating herself here with the title of this post. Please tell me (someone, anyone!) that you remember The Name Game song Shirley Ellis sang in the 60’s. For those who don’t, here’s a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MJLi5_dyn0 Thankfully prana is timeless, eternal and everlasting. Unlike The Name Game, which may … Read more
Talking Heads
You know that ‘my head’s so full it’s going to explode’ feeling you get when you have a bad cold? That’s how your energy head feels when you’re a Talking Head. It’s actually heavy to the hands of the healer. (If the healer accesses energy through felt-sense or clairsentience.) Guess what? We’re all a bunch … Read more

What’s it Gonna Be – Resolution or Intention?
Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet? How long is your list? I remember doing a list in my 30’s that had about 17 things on it. Within a month, I was 0 for 17. And then I gave up resolutions altogether. Here’s a definition for ‘resolution.’ 1. The process of resolving something, such … Read more
Another Damn Sunny Day in Arizona
My mom used to laugh whenever she told the story of Hummy – my aunt – calling to complain about the amazing weather in Arizona. In New Jersey it would be snowing, school cancelled, hours of shoveling behind us and more awaiting us – and Hummy would call and say, ‘It’s another damn sunny day … Read more
Anxiety – Stopping the Madness, Part 2
In the last post, I described the process for closing down an overactive vibratorium – the 2nd chakra oscillating magnet attracting energies that match your go-to emotions. I’ve been using anxiety as the emotion of choice to illustrate the point about setting the 2nd chakra between 10 and 25% open. (Most of us run around with our … Read more
Anxiety – Stopping the Madness, Part 1
Anxiety. It’s a 7-letter word. All of us experience it, some more than others. When I ask people to describe their anxiety, I often learn that it feels like a pressurized bubble located somewhere in the range of the neck to the groin. The pressure and pushing increases, and the breath gets shallow, the butterflies … Read more
Zoe’s Lesson on Karma
Sometimes people ask me about karma and how to know when a karmic lesson is in play. (Sidebar: I chose the word ‘play’ deliberately. Even karmic lessons can be viewed through a playful lens. Why does everybody get so damn serious about healing? Sometimes it’s downright hilarious to see how skillfully we create our experiences … Read more
A story about The Void and Manifestation
One day a woman woke up from her current state of awareness and realized that she was definitely doing her work in the world, but not in the way that she wanted. After a month or two alternating between a self-recriminating slug-fest and the terror of ‘what next’, she surrendered and entered the Void. Soon … Read more
Chakra Khan (aka Jill Leigh)
It’s a big name to live up to, I have to tell you! It’s my favorite nickname of all time, and I’ve had a few. Most of them made me squirrely under my skin. Like – ‘this is how you think of me?’ I guess I had higher expectations of myself than most of my … Read more
