Spiritual Emergence (or Emergency) This past Thursday I listened to a Blab with Blair Glaser and her guests. The topic — New Age myths. One of myths discussed – being blissed out — people who are so full of sweetness and light and relentless positive thinking that they don’t actually show up and take action … Read more
The Power of Be-coming Witnessing growth and evolution in EHI’s classroom is a powerful thing. I was reminded of this as I reflected on an 8-day training that recently wrapped up in New Mexico. People came to the training with open hearts and minds, and left 8 days later knowing that they had changed. That the … Read more
A case for self-containment You can only understand people if you feel them in yourself. John Steinbeck, East of Eden I trust I’m not the only person on the planet who is utterly repelled by Steinbeck’s quote. You don’t really believe this, do you? I believe there’s far too much emphasis on ‘feeling peoples feelings’ … Read more
Blind Faith Recently, a Practitioner emailed a question resulting from a meditative exploration of belief systems in EHI’s Online Course on Manifestation. Many of EHI’s courses help practitioners explore and expand conscious awareness, deepening the efficacy and breadth of their client practice. It’s tough to hold space for healing without a practical understanding of the … Read more
I’ve spent the last 30 years dancing with an inner conflict. There are two of me in there, and they have different values and points of view. I’ll tell you how I navigate my dual (not dueling) selves.
Transition For 10 months, I’ve lived with my condo in a mild state of disorder. During a building-wide re-plumbing project, I had 2 floods in my unit. I had to have the floor replaced, and it’s taken many months for the moon and stars to align to get the work completed. Now that it’s truly … Read more

GPS: Taos to Salt Lake City Having completed my 2nd week in Taos, it was time to head back home. I felt clear about my relationship with Oliver. I was sad, disappointed and a little angry. Not at him. At the situation. I felt ready to return to Portland. Ready to tackle my ever growing … Read more
Light & Clarity Emerge Returning to Taos from my brief junket in Portland, Oliver and I moved into our second rental. A sweet little house, with a lovely kitchen, gas fireplace, comfortable furniture and a fenced yard. My routine – out early on the frosty mornings for coffee, breakfast and writing time at a local … Read more
The Road to Taos I drove 12 hours from the mountaintop hotel in Utah to Taos. The drive was gorgeous – through Zion National Park, across Utah, Arizona – with a smidge of Colorado mixed in – into New Mexico. A sleepless night preceded the long drive, yet somehow, I felt alert, awake and fully … Read more
Evolving Through Whimsy I left Portland because I felt tired, stifled and stressed. I needed a break from my ‘normal’ life and routine. I was seeking inspiration and focus to take my work to its next iteration. A trusted consultant asked me when the last time was that I followed my whimsy, following that question … Read more
Evolving is Incremental When I look back at where my life was a year ago, I can hardly believe the difference. In a nutshell, I: migrated from the East to the West moved from 16 acres in the woods to a loft in the city have an online classroom instead of a brick and mortar … Read more
Changes Comes Easy…Or Not! I’ve been thinking a lot about change lately. The way change can come easily while at other times a knock-down, drag-out battle occurs – between the existing and the emerging self. I’ve had a lot of time to think. I’ve been on a road trip through Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and … Read more
What does that mean, exactly? Well, it means that whatever you attract, carry and vibrate in your field, your Aura, is your responsibility. But I’m an empath, say many. I feel and carry the burdens, suffering and pain that others are experiencing. It’s one of my ways of relating to the world. Are you telling … Read more
