According to polls over 30% of Americans consider themselves spiritual but not religious. Are you one? I am. When I first saw this statistic, I was amazed. I thought, what a huge proportion of the population! I mean, consider that in the face of the fact that only 22% of Americans consider themselves Republicans or 24% of Americans consider themselves to be Catholic. A staggering number of individuals are spiritual but not religious.

We are HUGE! But, are we really similar?

What do you do or believe that makes you spiritual but not religious?

A spiritual attachment is energy from another person, actually another spirit as we are all spirits, that has attached itself to ours. A lot of my work with clients has to do with removing these attachments. Before going on to the most common types, I want to say a few words about the nature of spiritual attachments. We all have them. They block our energy in various ways. Spiritual attachments that come from another person have to do with an unresolved emotional connection. It can literally be anything, love, hate, lust, jealousy, envy, desire, trauma, you name it. The point is that the energetic attachment is formed by the persistent and not fully resolved emotion. These energetic attachments hook into us like a harpoon into a wale and keep us from swimming freely through the ocean of our lives. (more…)

It has been my pleasure and my privilege to be able to work with the Muslim women who have booked my services. As you know, people of all religions and those who do not subscribe to a religion are all welcome in my practice.

People who associate themselves with a particular religion often have a true purpose that is in line with the spiritual energy of their religion. It is clear for me to see when I work directly with their conscious energy. This has been the case with Muslim women with whom I have worked.

However, I have noticed something very interesting and unique with Musilm women. There is a huge amount of spiritual energy being transmitted through the spiritual hierarchy of Islam, directly to women within the faith. This energy is bypassing the traditional gatekeepers and going directly to the sisterhood. The energy itself is not particularly feminine, but it is definitely being transmitted specifically to women.

The message is simple. “Connect to the Great Love. Let the Great Love empower you to spread Peace.”

There is an enormous wealth of power and intelligence within the sisterhood of Islam. I say “sisterhood” because that is how it was presented to me during our sessions. There is a general desire among the higher spirits in the Islamic hierarchy for these women of power and intelligence to unite in the cause of receiving the Great Love that is being transmitted to them and using it for the purpose of spreading peace.

This is a spiritual message not a political message.

A friend of mine noticed that I was not my usual self and was having problems manifesting prosperity. She told me she had a period of “stuckness” and had good results from an energy healer named Michael Roland and recommended me to go to his website.

I’d tried other energy healings and treatments which helped considerably, but I had some doubts because so far nothing had made me feel like “the old me”—active, enthusiastic, intelligent, self-confident, helpful—I was in grief, missing the best parts of me.

I even lost confidence in (more…)

“Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.” When Jalal al din Rumi wrote those words in thirteenth century Persia it is unlikely that he had any idea of the vast array of career and life choices available to a twenty-first century human being. With the staggering number of career possibilities and life paths available to each of us, how do you know what is truly right for you?

My work with clients, in the spiritual realm, has given me a unique perspective on career, purpose, and spiritual path. We are all blessed with free will and the ability to decide things for ourselves. This gives us ample opportunity to follow our desires for career, to make decisions about pursuing our life’s purpose. The difference between fulfilling a purpose and fulfilling a desire is: Fulfilling your desire serves you. Fulfilling your purpose serves all, including yourself. One of the keys to happiness is learning to align your desires with your purpose. So far, so good, but you can read this same idea in a thousand self-help books. What about my unique perspective?

The ability of being able to look into another’s spiritual energy system has given me a few insights I wouldn’t have had otherwise:

There is spiritual energy available to help you fulfill your life’s purpose. That means if your career choice is in line with your purpose, the spiritual energy will be there to help you succeed. You can tap into this energy only when you are on the path of your purpose (but, not before).

You have a positive effect on other people and even other spirits when you are fulfilling purpose.

Not all of your desires coincide with your life’s purpose, sad but true. Get over it and get on with it. The clock is ticking on your temporal existence.

When you insist on pursuing your desires over your purpose, you end up causing misery for yourself and others, even if you have the outward appearance of success.

Most people have one or a few specific purposes to fulfill not hundreds or thousands, so your real options may be fewer than you think.

You have been or will be lead to your purpose. In fact if you’re not already on it, you have likely considered it, if not acted on it already. Because, like Rumi wrote, somewhere within your heart is the desire to serve your true purpose.

When you are fulfilling your purpose, you are on your spiritual path. Church, religion, and prayer optional.

A happy career is one that is aligned with true purpose and therefore is congruent with your spiritual path

It always gives me a great feeling when I am able to help someone identify their purpose and get onto their life path or career path. It’s one of those good for me, good for you things. Maybe it’s part of my purpose?

This lifetime is only one epoch in the continuum of your existence. You have been a living consciousness since your beginning and you will continue to be a living consciousness for the rest of eternity. It is likely that you have had lifetimes on Earth before this one and that you will have lifetimes on Earth after this one. Expand you idea of past and future to include the multiple lifetimes that you have had and those that you will undoubtedly have in the future.

Each lifetime is affected by the previous lifetime. You have built Yourself through your trials, hardships, and experiences. Each past life prepares you for the next one like childhood prepares you for adolescence and adolescence for adulthood. Just as childhood traumas can lead to a difficult adolescence, past life traumas can cause problems in this lifetime.

Past lives build on one another. Energetically, they are like layers of an onion. Each life epoch is connected, yet separate from the others. Each life epoch can help or hinder the next phase of growth.

Most therapies in our current life epoch only concern themselves with traumas of this lifetime, often going back as far as early childhood or even prenatal, but rarely further. Specific expertise is required to pierce the layer of your current lifetime to find and dissipate past life trauma.

Past life trauma is like a magnetic ball and chain. It is a heavy weight to carry, it slows you down, and it attracts similar trauma in this lifetime.

It is possible to relieve past life traumas and lighten the burden for your journey forward.

British philosopher Alan Watts once said, “Making a New Years resolution is like broadcasting your intentions to the Devil.”

Thankfully my experience in the spiritual realm tells me that there is no Devil (with a big D and big horns). However there are forces at work that try to keep you from becoming your best, that try to keep you from progressing on your spiritual journey. Usually these forces are not evil per se, but never-the-less, they do not have your best interest in mind. They do not want you to progress spiritually. In fact they want you to stay right where you are.

Blockages in your energy field, whether spiritual or emotional, sometimes have a justifiable reason for being there. This is especially true with certain spiritual blockages. 

Removing blockages is relatively simple. First the blockage  is identified, then before it can be safely removed, the purpose of the blockage has to be understood. Spiritual blockages and spiritual attachments always have a reason for being there.

Spiritual attachment is the persistent interconnection of another’s spiritual or emotional energy to yours. A spiritual attachment has many forms that can only be described metaphorically. It can be like a hook or a barb that penetrates your spiritual material. It can be an energy form that is interwoven or lodged within your spiritual body. It can even be a situation where the attached spirit is obsessed with you and never or rarely leaves your presence.
There are infinite reasons why this might happen, but they often fall into one of several categories. Obsession is a common cause of spiritual attachment.
