I love writing as much as anyone with a blog. It’s a great outlet for expressing what’s on your mind and connecting with a source of inner wisdom most of us don’t know we have. But when writer’s block gets in the way, it can lead to hair-pulling anxiety. When I first started writing, I […]
Art as a Spiritual Practice
Some people who make art consider it a spiritual practice. For them, it’s more than just a fun activity. It’s a way to express who they are while connecting with something profound deep within them. Being creative allows them to venture into their mind and soul, forming a vital connection that many people are sadly […]
5 Ways Meditation Helps the Mind and Body
We don’t hear as much about the physical benefits of meditation as we do the spiritual. Fortunately, the scientific community is interested in it and has done a fair amount of research on it.

Why Write? A Spiritual Perspective
As any writer will tell you, creating something worth reading is a long and arduous process. It’s not easy, and the long periods of silence and isolation it requires would deter most people from pursuing it. Writing mostly involves staring aimlessly at the paper, computer screen, etc. waiting for something genuine to come through. This […]
Writing, Nature and the Creative Spirit
I wrote the following for the 201st issue of The Culture of Awareness Weekly Newsletter. To begin for this week – The creative spirit is all around, and connecting with it is our birthright. Nature is one of the best places to become aware of it, because nature shows us what can happen when it’s […]
Creativity and the Spiritual Power Grid
Creative spiriutality. Credit: Josephine Wall My understanding of creativity’s role in the evolution of the soul has shifted in the past few days.

Creativity Feeds the Soul
Credit: meaningfullife.com I think creativity and the transformation of consciousness have more in common than most people think.

Writers don’t feel complete if they don’t write every […]
Courage Comes from Love

We can achieve anything if we have courage and we can persevere, but it’s easier to be afraid of challenges and new experiences than it is […]
Proud to Be a Lightworker
I wrote the following for the 181st issue of The Culture of Awareness Weekly Newsletter, which I offer for $11.11 a month.

The Throat Chakra: The Center of Self-Expression
The throat chakra. Credit: lightworkers.org The chakras are the subtle body’s energy centers, and they bring through the energy that’s responsible for our reality and the higher dimensions we have yet to experience.

An Open Mind Is an Awakened Mind
Credit: alvinaucks.blogspot.com It’s often said that opening and emptying the mind (not transcending it, leaving it or getting into a space beyond it) is one of the best ways to expand our consciousness and reconnect with our creator. We’re sure to fail if we seek enlightenment by trying to leave the mind, because along with […]
