This blog post was inspired by the women and men I recently met at a Wisdom Healing Chigong Retreat. They REALLY want to heal, and ARE healing. I am humbled by their courage and commitment. Anyone with an ailment  - physical, emotional, mental, energetic, or spiritual - would most likely answer, “YES. OF COURSE!" But what does it take to heal? And is YES the true answer? The foundational key to all healing is self-love. I know this sounds trite and overused, but it’s true. No one can fix us or...

Imagine being in the center of a large, multi-layered, bubble. I’m sure you’ve experienced this. When you’re in a pristine place in nature, don't you feel expansive? When you’re frightened or angry, doesn't the contraction feel almost claustrophobic? Your soul is breathing. The soul is located in the center of our chest, in what I call the “heart/soul space.” It radiates out and encircles the body. Composed of refined and heavy energies, soul serves as a container for spirit, as well as a...

  Khuya means sacred object in Quechua, the language of the Q’ero, descendants of the Inca. The Khuya Ceremony is part of their heritage. Few Q'ero elders perform it, and thanks to Juan Nunez del Prado, Andean Priest and Mystic, it has been kept alive. The Khuya Ceremony takes place within the soul, or energy bubble, as the Q'ero call it. This is the field of living energy surrounding our physical bodies that expands, contracts, and defines our personal space (or lack of.) The purpose of...

Everything is living energy, from the magnificent to the mundane. Mountains. Stars. Anger. Love. Metal. Air. All Beings. Even Plastic. The landscape of one's individuated Soul is made up of refined and heavy energies. The heavy energies radiate down through the layers and manifest in our lives as dis-ease and illness. Most people’s souls are burdened with concentrated heavy energy. Take trauma, for example. It results in soul loss which generates pockets of density. So does taking on another’s...

Your joyful, innocent five-year-old self was in a realm of wonder, singing to the deer while skipping upon rocks in a bubbling stream. She was afraid to return home until assured that her Daddy was no longer alive. Were you surprised that a soul-part was found screaming in terror on the side of the road where the car accident occurred twenty-years ago? An infant part of your soul—tightly swaddled, forgotten, and frozen in shock—was all alone in the hospital nursery. You lived without that part...

Spiritual Healing addresses all experiences, from our incarnation as spirit to our death as human and beyond.

At every Healing Ceremony I help my client create an intention. To name a state of being they want to be living right now. I've listened to thousands of life stories and noticed that although particulars vary, a few themes re-occur. I am Safe, Whole, Connected, and Loved could be everyone's intention. Safe: Most of us do not feel safe, and safety is a foundational aspect of healing. How can we move on if, on some level, we're afraid? A fifty year old woman might be living a life where, on the...

Coma fascinates me. A person lies in bed, alive, not obviously present, and oftentimes attached to machines. Do they know we’re sitting beside them? Can they hear us talking? Feel our touch? Where are they? Will they ever come back? When a person is in a coma, their spirit is present, but a huge part of their soul is missing. Imagine a lamp, with spirit the lightbulb and soul the lampshade. Turn the light on. Normally, the light radiates outside the shade, but in the case of coma, only part of...
