My spiritual path focuses on three things: Commitment, attitude and balance.

Commitment - We all have been given the gift of time and energy by Spirit. When we dedicate our time and energy to finding out who we are, the universe supports us by magnifying our efforts a thousand-fold. Eventually, growth for each of us becomes effortless.

Attitude - Each day I focus on three things: Seeing everything I experience as something that I created in order to grow spiritually from; looking for the Christ/Love/Light/Spirit within everyone; and looking for ways to serve each person I meet throughout the day. Living in the NOW is also very important to me.

Balance - Many people focus so intently on spiritual growth that they ignore the needs of their bodies; experience out of control emotions; and operate from the ego mind. We are here to ground the energy of Spirit into our body, emotions and mind as well as to evolve the soul. The path I prefer is to heal the body, then work with emotions, then the mind and then the soul and then back to the body to repeat the cycle all over again. This way I feel I grow in an ever-expanding spiral.

Lately, I have been having to assist people in dealing with several types of negative emotions - i.e. depression, fear, and especially, a lot of anger. After the latest episodes of someone venting verbally upon another and a fist punching a hole in the wall, I called upon the universe to aid me in assisting these individuals. The answer came with a story and a technical explanation. The story I was reminded of, was of a grandfather teaching his grandson to vent his anger by pounding a three inch nail all the way into the fence in their backyard every time he was angry. At first there were many nails daily added to the fence, but over time, the number of nails lessened. Then the grandfather told the grandson to remove a nail each time he felt like being angry and wasn't. At first, very few nails were removed and then more were removed in shorter time. Eventually, all of the nails were removed. The grandson had learned to recognize his own anger for what it was and to channel it in a different way or to let it go. The holes, however were still left in the fence - just as they are left in people's hearts or bodies when we strike out verbally or physically in anger toward them.

It is the case of "making something positive out of something negative" or turning a "sow's ear into a silk purse." It actually can be done - this is what "TRANSMUTATION" is all about. Remember that we are all co-creators.

(1) An essential oil can be inhaled, thus reaching the brain which in turn responds to the particular scent affecting our emotions and chemical balance.Put a few drops on a handkerchief and breathe in deeply.

(2) If you mix it with a neutral oil (almond, olive, safflower, canola, jojoba, or sunflower), it will make a wonderful massage oil. Your body will absorb it and carry it throughout via the circulatory system to reach the appropriate internal organs.

(3) In an electrical diffuser, it will send tiny drops of oil in the air. Try your car air vent.

(4) You can also take one drop internally with honey, if the E.O. are extracted from herbs or fruits used in the kitchen, like Anise, Camomile, Cinnamon, Coriander, Lemon, Marjoram, Orange, Peppermint, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, etc. and are 100% pure and natural. For sore throats, try a drop of Thyme mixed with honey.

(5) If you breathe in E.O. or place it on your feet and behind your ears, it will be distributed to every cell of your body in a few seconds and last 21 minutes. It may also be worn as a perfume or on the bottom of your feet, neck, face, back, wrist, and on your heart. If you do not like the smell of an oil, it is usually because it is not appropriate for you. Each person responds differently to an aromatic stimulus. Try one and enjoy what was once available only to the "elite." Stored them in a cool, dark place.

How can we become masters if we don’t trust ourselves to know our own answers or love ourselves for who we are now? First of all, if I’m sharing something that doesn’t feel right to you, let it go. Discernment is so important in our spiritual growth. I don’t care who says something. If it doesn’t feel right, let it go.

There is so much misinformation out there today, it’s like a zoo. Look at your teachers. Are they happy and kind, and do they honor you? Are they in harmony with what they teach and how they live their own spiritual path? Do they accept your questions about their ideas without feeling threatened, telling you you don’t understand, asking you to leave? Is their teaching is based on fear or separation, or that it has to be only one way? Do they withhold information and ideas from you, telling you are not ready. If these things are true, run as fast as you can the other way. Maybe there is an easier path elsewhere.

When we take our power, our true teachers should be excited for us, not mad or condescending or mean. I know many of you have seen this time and time again. Teachers should be excited about exploring all kinds of ideas and choices with you. Your teachers should support your choices, not tell you what they are. Choices equal freedom.

That was how the headline of the press release read when we sent it out to all the New Age Publications in the United States and Canada two weeks ago.

The purpose of the press release was to not only let the New Age publications know that there was a metaphysician out there who was also a marketing expert teaching Metaphysicians and New Age business owners how to improve their marketing efforts. But, it was also intended to make a statement to the universe about it being time that we claim our gifts and start doing things in our life that will truly make a difference in the world. This was my "leap of faith" and I'd like to encourage you to take your own "leap"--whatever that means to you. I remind you to always live with passion and go for your dreams. It's easy to talk about God and the universe being awesome and abundant. I think it's time that we Metaphysicians step up and go for our dreams. If I can, you can.

Greetings in the Light and Love of the Source of All! The following technique from my book, "Healing with the Rainbow Rays", is a good one for getting all parts of you (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) aligned by utilizing certain color rays of Creation.

We are in the Age of Aquarius, the sign of the group. We live in America, a large group, where every nation, culture and religion is represented. Spiritually Aquarius joins the strength and talents of the individual to bring about what is best for the group.

Our founding fathers came from society which had official religions, resulting in persecution of those who practiced religion differently. Although the Pilgrims were Christians, they did not practice exactly as the state decreed, they were persecuted and so chose to leave England and came here. People seeking freedom have been coming here ever since.

I recently had to say good-by to the physical body of my beloved PSA, who was best friend and companion to me for 15 years. In as much as you all know I that I believe in the continuation of life, I also know that the human experience of grief is real and needs to be honored, to be felt. Perhaps that grief is about seeing the chapters of ones life come to an end. Amazing that so much love could be given for so long, by one little dog - oh if only I could love as much as Psa loved, if I could forgive as much as Psa was able to forgive, if I could be a friend like Psa would be a friend...then perhaps I would be worthy of this grief.

Mt. Shasta, being one of the great spiritual power vortexes of Earth (and variously called the root or the crown chakra of Earth), has a descending city of light. I've known it was there above our mountain, but it took my friend Amorah Quan Yin to help me see how it has changed. In the summer of 1993, she was driving up the mountain road with a friend, and just past the lower gate which closes for snow on the road, about 5,000 feet, she felt an altered state come over her, as if she had just entered a spiritual gate. Her friend felt it too. In her meditation, she was told that the city of light had now descended to 5,000 feet.

Just the other day, I was up at Panther Meadow on the mountain, and realized the city of light was all around me. I opened up my inner eye and saw the coming and going of beautiful beings, some of whom noticed my awareness of them and gave me a blessing. I also asked the dimension of this light city, and I understand it is the same dimension as the ascended master retreat that has been within the mountain for thousands of years.

Do you forget to use the powerful tools that you were taught years ago? Do you fail when working on manifesting something you want?

Many of us know that using simple but powerful techniques can bring big results. One such technique is visualizing a goal and putting the goal in the present tense. By seeing yourself NOW wealthy, thinner, in love, or healed, we set the layers of manifesting to work. Done once in the morning upon waking and once at night before sleep, visualizations can tell the body and the spirit to head in the right direction. So what usually stops us from doing this?

What stops us from visualizing and believing that we can have the desired outcome is our self-doubt and negative self-talk. While visualizing that which we want to manifest, it is important to monitor and correct all self-talk (including any current or old pictures of failure). Even if you visualize an outcome, depression can occur regarding old doubts or failures. This can prevent you from doing the visualizations long enough to get results.

As we move into the fall season, our thoughts turn to harvests and gathering our resources for the Holiday season and the winter hibernation. In days long gone, our spirits would raise as we harvested our crops, sorting some for market and the balance for storage. Now there seem to be few farms left and much instant food available therefore the Harvest season has less meaning. Addressing this issue from a spiritual perspective will allow us to look through a new facet in this wondrous time of year.

Let us look through a facet that creates a new style of harvest. Abundance in all the myriad forms presented to us over the past year, which would include our creative thoughts. We are moving rapidly into the Information Age and what is more bountiful in abundance than our very own thoughts that will continue to create this new paradigm. So as you move about your day, honor yourself for your creativity. Your thoughts are your greatest asset as they flow out into the Universal Mind and create your day to day reality. Give thanks in each moment for this fantastic ability and treasure the inventiveness you possess. Take this new found facet of recognition into your introspection in the New Year, after all your Holiday celebrations and ceremonies with delight and creativity. Meditate on your abilities and follow new pathways of creativity as you open and grow in your own time and space. Know that nothing in the material world has more value than your essential ability to create from thought.

Then smile and enjoy this discovery.
