When you love someone, you enjoy communicating with them. So it makes sense that the Supreme Being reaches out to us as well, even if we don’t recognize it when it happens. Through increasing our awareness and learning how to listen, all of us can regularly receive divine guidance. Practice thankful prayer and meditation For [...]
Some religions believe that our earthly plane is removed from the heavenly and spiritual realms. That our end goal is to ascend to a different location, wholly separate from our physical existence. Imagine my surprise, when meditating, that I learned all realms exist in the same cosmic container, intersecting and residing in the same [...]
None of us want to experience tough times: to drop into the chasms of depression, worry and despair. However, when we find ourselves in this place, we can flip our perceptions of the dark, increasing our capacity to love and experience joy. It’s so easy to be scared of the dark. Afterall, it’s human nature [...]
Lately, I’ve found myself in a rut: I ruminate on what I lack in life. I see others on social media being active outdoors, going to concerts and plays, and spending time with friends and family. I’m sorry to admit that I envy them. I don't believe I'm alone feeling this way. No one’s life [...]

While it seems blessings are of a personal nature, we can increase the common good by sharing those gifts. Sharing strengthens our community, our world. By sharing our blessings (physical, emotional, spiritual or monetary) with others, [...]
Many of us struggle to love ourselves. We may feel we’re falling short of where we thought we’d be at this point in our lives; we may have different dreams than society wants us to focus on; or we’re so busy trying to make ourselves into what others want, it empties us inside. It’s easy [...]
Following my experiences at the haunted Goldfield Hotel (see “A Reluctant Spirit”), I realized that I’d always filled my space with noise. Music blared while I drove. And, when I’d arrived home, I’d turn on the radio or tv—even if I didn’t want to watch or listen to anything. Being in the quiet made [...]
It’s an illusion to believe we’re separate from nature. In our Modern Age, man has tricked himself into thinking we are above all life. But we cannot be above animals, as we are animals. Indigenous people see all creation as one. In the introduction to Episode 4 of “How to Change Your Mind,” Oglala [...]
